A bit long but do read!!
The next morning pragya woke up after abhi and by the time she had come out of the washroom abhi had packed everything in the bags and placed them in the car. He led pragya out of the hotel into the car and he began to drive.
Pragya asked him how everyone was and how they were managing. She said sorry that she should have helped him to explain the problems in between them but abhi said it was fine.
"I did deserve a punishment but from now on we won't talk about the past, only about our future. I want to make up for everything we missed out on in these past months." Abhi said
"Okay." Replied pragya happily but there was still that worry that concerned her. She thought it wasn't the right time to tell him.
They finally arrived at the Mehra mansion. Pragya looked at the house and slowly walked up to the door. Abhi came with her and knocked on the door. He told pragya to stand behind him so daadi couldn't see her. He wanted to surprise her. Daadi came and opened the door. She looked at abhi on his own.
She was disappointed that he still didn't know where pragya was but hugged him anyway. She was about to turn to go back in with him but a voice made her stop.
"Daadi." Said pragya "won't you meet me?" She asked
Daadi turned round quickly and saw pragya standing next to abhi. Pragya took her blessings and daadi hugged her.
"Pragya!" Exclaimed daadi. "Beta, your back!" She hugged her again.
Pragya was happy and she finally felt peace within herself after 2 months of worry and sadness. Abhi looked at the two people who were the most important to him and smiled. He wished aliya was there. Abhi hugged them both and they all went in the house.
Daadi called everyone downstairs in the hall and phoned pragyas family to come as soon as possible. Everyone greeted pragya with happiness except aliya. She felt ashamed of herself. She had wronged pragya and she couldn't find the courage to talk to her. Pragya hugged and talked to everyone while aliya stood away from the rest. Pragya noticed this and went over to her. She didn't say anything she just hugged her and went back to abhi. She noticed that abhi and aliya were not talking to each other and she thought she had to sort this out.
"Don't worry. Now I am back I will make sure these two families stay together happily!" Pragya thought.
Pragyas family arrived but daadi had hidden pragya behind the door to surprise them as well. First daadi wanted abhi to say sorry one more time.
When sarla entered along with pragyas daadi, bulbul and purvi abhis daadi and dasi greeted them and told them to sit.
"Why did you call us here, has something happened?" Sarla asked tensed again.
"Maa I am sorry." Said abhi.
He kneeled before her and held her hand.
"I am sorry for everything I have done and today I will give you something that will make up for everything that ever happened between our families because of me and my sister aliya." Said abhi
Aliya looked away not wanting them to see how ashamed she really was with herself. This was the first time she felt sorry for everything she had done.
Daadi motioned pragya to come out and she stepped out. Sarla and the rest of the family were on the sofa facing away from pragya so they didn't see her walking behind them. Pragya put her hand on sarlas shoulder and hugged her from behind. Just by her touch sarla recognised her.
"Pragya!" She said with delight.
Bulbul, daadi and purvi turned round as well. Pragya walked round and hugged her mum.
"Where did you go, are you okay?" She asked kissing her and hugging her again.
"Maa I'm fine thanks to abhi. He convinced me to come back. I'm sorry I promise I won't leave again." She said
"Di!" Squealed bulbul and purvi hugging her.
After meeting everyone they all sat down and began to talk. Both families seemed so happy. Pragya smiled at them and abhi hugged her again.
She felt so happy and decided to once again not tell them. They were all so happy she didn't want to worry them and ruin the day for them.
There was only one thing she needed to do and that was to get abhi and aliya talking to each other again.
Daadi had said she was going to hold a party at the Mehra mansion in happiness of pragya returning with the baby. Everyone agreed and they all started the preparations!
They had all questioned her whether she was okay and about the baby.
She had said she was fine but deep down she was upset that she couldn't share the problem with her own family.
"I can't hide this too long. I just hope the next time I see the doctor everything will be okay and then I won't have to say anything." She thought hoping that everything would be okay.
Daadi asked abhi to take pragya to the room and make sure she was ready for the party by 6 o clock. Abhi agreed and led pragya to their room. She was surprised to see that everything was just the way she left it. Her books were still there and so was the mandir. She smiled at abhi. She was glad to have him as her husband.
Abhi gave pragya a saree to wear for the party along with some jewellery. He wanted his chashmish to look her best.
He told her to get changed and went downstairs.
Daadi knew that if there was one bit of sadness still in the house it was the fact that aliya wasn't speaking properly with pragya and abhi. She knew that if she spent more time with them slowly but eventually she would be okay again. Daadi told aliya to go and help get pragya ready for the party. Aliya tried to protest but daadi forced her.
"Make sure that your bhabhi looks her best!" She said and left.
Aliya slowly walked to pragyas room.
"God, I have never felt so mean in my life. Why didn't I realise that I ruined my brothers life for something I knew I wouldn't get. Purab didn't love me and I ruined bhais life for my sake. I should say sorry to bhabhi and bhai but how! They are so angry at me." Aliya thought stepping into pragyas room.
Aliya saw pragya on the stool infront of the mirror. She was ready and just needed her makeup done. Aliya walked towards her.
"Umm... Daadi sent me here to help you get ready." She said
"Thanks aliya. Please could you help me. I really don't know what to do with my face right now. I am so bad at makeup." She moaned
"Don't worry, I'm here so you will look amazing tonight." Aliya said
She began powdering pragyas face and gave her ideas on what to do. Gradually she began to talk and soon they were chatting away not realising the tension between them wasn't there anymore.
Once Pragya was ready aliya was about to leave but pragya stopped her.
"Listen aliya." Said pragya
"Yes" said aliya
"Look, I don't know why you and abhi have not been speaking because everyone is happy now. Then why won't you forgive each other?" Pragya asked
"Bhabi I..." Aliya didn't know what to say.
"See, you don't even know why you are so angry at each other yet you still don't speak to each other." Said pragya
"No bhabi, I don't know what to do." Said aliya crying now. "Since you left, bhai stayed so upset and I thought I ruined his life. I am sorry it's just that i don't think he will forgive me."
"Of course I will" said abhi making pragya and aliya turn around in surprise.
"How can anyone stay angry at such a sweet sister like you. Yes I was angry but you have realised what was wrong." Said abhi hugging her.
"Bhai I'm so sorry." Cried aliya "I really am. I just didn't know how to say it."
Pragya smiled at both of them.
"See! What was so hard in doing this before I came." She said smiling at them. "You guys are hopeless."
"Of course we are and thats why we need you to be there for us all the time." Said abhi and pulled her into a hug as well.
They all walked down together. Everyone clapped seeing pragya and abhi along with aliya. It seemed as if everything was back to normal again. The long awaited happiness had finally arrived. What could possibly go wrong now?
So guys how was it! I will update soon!
