Un resOh my god! Aafrah I cannot believe it! You are pulling a typical Ekta Kapoor on us! This has to be an SS!!you cannot finish it as a three shot just not possible... *min is very much in disbelief*Loved loved how he knew something was wrong...how he hated bb calling him abhi and not juju...sarla Ma's indifference! He needs to make it up to them big time! So glad he could donate the blood (again a typical ek twist so kudos to that) and purab and Aakash knowing that he loves her!❤️And it's so cute that you've got him wanting to be friends with Her even if they do decide to get divorced...tearing the divorce contract and sitting at the hospital...uuff!That twist at the end! Why??? I don't want her to think that...but it's good in a way. I hope this goes towards them becoming friends(which is my fav kind of story) and then liking each other and hope you'll give us the standard ek scene where suresh pretends and pragya remembers at the last moment that it's abhi she loves and everything that's happened(sometimes the journey is better than the destination so hope I've not blurted out your storyline to everyone...sorry if I have. Let me know and I'll remove the end of my comment! )Thank you for updating so quick!

Haha min! no worries, you haven't blurted out anything! As much as that would be an amazing storyline in itself, but I have something else in mind!After seeing his pig headedness in the show, I absolutely plan to make Abhi suffer a little (in the most EK ish way) - Wait for a little longer, one more update in your way in a couple of hours!!😊
😆 at your e-mail commentAwesome! You're my rockstar aafrah!,, I'll check back in 2ish hours..* me sitting on IF like a stalker waiting for an updat because my emails are gay!*
Hi Guys! My Bad! How could I think of writing an ode to EK and expect the melodrama to be over in a few shots? 😛😛
Okay here is Chapter 3 as promised - within two hours of my last post!
Happy Reading! And please keep commenting!
__________________________________________________________________________________
As Abhi cautiously entered her hospital room, he felt very conscious. He had never felt a stress this bad. Every word mattered, every word counted. One damage was done - The nurse had accidentally revealed to Pragya that she was married and that too, not to Prof. Suresh Shrivastav but to Rockstar Abhi. The shock was enough to cause an abnormal pulse drop and a blackout. But now she was stable. However the doctor warned to keep anything even slightly stressful away from her - it might be fatal for her. Abhi couldn't decide which would have been worse, to be able to stand that double battery and chashmish flaunting there love out in the open before his eyes, or to live with a chashmish who was blissfully unaware of the truth of their relationship and their marriage. He knew for sure he couldn't tell her the truth now - of course she wouldn't be able to take it - what he had done to her was painful - it was bad enough she had to live through it, but reminding her once again when she has forgotten it? No one deserved that thought Abhi - But if he was to hide the truth from her, he will have to act like a real husband even within the walls of her room! And Tanu? How would she react to this news? And also in all this, how will he ever apologize to her, when she didn't even remember his crime? With no scope of apologizing, his guilt seemed heavier!
He entered the room, and she looked towards the door to see him entering, as the rest of the family waited outside holding their breath. She was lying down on the bed with a massive plaster on her head, and a big bandage padded the part of her neck where Abhi remembered he had seen that piece of glass stuck. Abhi shuddered internally at the memory. He looked her bandaged hand, which was newly operated with a steel plate, and noticed innumerable drying scratches thoughout the skin that was exposed to him. There was a particularly gruesome blue-black bruise at the right corner of her lip, and it looked a little swollen even now. All this while he was noticing her wounds, none of them spoke, but when Abhi looked into her eyes, he saw she was weighing each and every action of his. He felt uncomfortable, chashmish usually looked away when he looked at her, well most of the time, otherwise they would engage in those forever long eye-locks which felt uncomfortable afterwards. But today she didn't take away her eyes, and neither there was an eye-lock. Something had changed in those eyes - maybe she didn't remember them, but his behaviour had definitely hardened her soft liquid stares - instead today he found a lot of questions in there.
Abhi - Hey chashmish, you're okay now?
She didn't seem to hear him, she just kept staring at his face, as if trying to gauge something. Abhi then cleared his throat and repeated himself. Pragya seemed t find back her voice.
Pragya - Do you usually call me chashmish?
Though in the slightest of ways, but the realization that she didn't even remember this slightest detail stung him. And he also realized this wasn't going to be an easy ride for him.
Abhi - Yes, I always call you that endearingly (he added)
She smiled a little.
Pragya - As the doctor must have told you, I have no memories of marrying you, could you tell me a bit about how this happened? I mean as far as I remember, after what your brother Aakash had done to my, would be sister-in-law, oh, I mean Rachna, and you had stood up for him, I really disliked you.
Abhi felt another angry stab inside him to hear her refer to Rachna as her sister-in-law, it somehow indicated her feelings for Suresh, and Abhi couldn't stand it.
Abhi - Well, after that, my daadi saw your photo at a matchmaker's place and liked you, and got us married.
Abhi breathed in relief. Now he had successfully set an uncomplicated story before her. Well it was pretty much same in reality too in everyones mind other than his, Tanu's, Aaliya's and Pragya's.
Pragya - Forgive me for asking you this, but considering the doctor told you that my last memory was of being engaged to Suresh, I am assuming by now at least if not earlier, you know I was engaged to him - then how did that engagement break?
Abhi looked at her. Her memory was gone, but the node of intelligence seemed intact! If only she was hit there instead, life would have been so much easier!
But reality was he didn't know himself the reason for their broken engagement. Before their wedding, he supposed she was with Purab and she had ditched him for money and married him - in revelation also he never thought if she had someone in her life before - she was boring old chashmish - he assumed she was single until Suresh's explanation that evening when he had lost his temper on him. He realized he knew so less about her.
Abhi - I really don't know why that engagement fell apart. And that is not even important right? You're married to me now, and we are happy.
It burned Abhi to lie so profusely before chashmish as he painted a picture of a blissfully happy married couple before her.
Pragya - I understand that Abhi ji. But I need to know why that engagement broke when we both loved each other.
He always knew this wasn't going to be a cake walk, but if handling chashmish in the hospital bed was so difficult, he couldn't imagine what life would be after she was discharged. At the same moment he felt another stab in his heart when he saw chashmish dismiss the thought of their happily married life to know more about her broken engagement to the man she claimed she loved. Somehow the idea of chashmish and double battery hopelessly in love wasn't appealing - in fact suddenly he felt good about beating that double battery into pulp that evening!
Abhi - Ae chashmish, call me Abhi, no need to add ji' you never called me that. And enough of Q&A. The doctor said you need ample rest - We will uncover all these mysteries, once you're home!
As Abhi got up to leave, he was glad to be escaping this interrogation, but while he reached the door, she called from behind.
Pragya - Abhi, were you scared of losing me after the accident?
Her question was simple and very expected of a wife, but it froze Abhi on the spot. He indeed was scared of losing her, and that was what she expected from her husband.
He thought he was about to start behaving like a real husband with her from now, or had he started way before?
****************************
After a lot of debate it was decided that Pragya would go to the Mehra House after discharge. BB and Sarla ma was dead against it, but Abhi's daadi and rockstar daadi insisted. They both had seen what the others didn't - Abhi's attitude towards Pragya - maybe neither of them realized it themselves yet, but truly after losing her ownself did Pragya finally win her Abhi - They couldn't be separated, when destiny didn't let them separate.
Pragya was brought back from Pune in an ambulance, and was taken to her room in a stretcher. With serious injuries spread throughout her body, they couldn't risk her walking. There was a nurse to attend to her all the while, and daadi seemed to have permanently moved to their room, never leaving her side. Pragya had taken to instant liking towards daadi and her maternal affection. Abhi was glad in a way that he didn't spend much time alone with chashmish, her silence would make him uncomfortable.
On the few occasions so far, when daadi wasn't around strange things had happened. Once while the nurse was helping Pragya change, she had called Abhi inside to hold Pragya while she changed her clothes. A shell shocked Abhi stood transfixed, not knowing what to do. He told the nurse to manage it herself, but the nurse insisted on needing help. She thought for a moment for calling Aaliya of Tanu, but something stopped him - he had noticed the murderous glances they have been giving her off late - he couldn't risk it. He knew if he asked the daadi's or the daasi's they would make fun of him and send him inside anyway. So reluctantly he went inside, to find Pragya's face as red as a tomato in embarrassment - he found it funny, but then he noticed she wearing just the kameez, which had a slit from the sides from the length of her thighs. It was a pale pink kameez and from slit he suddenly saw the soft, creamy smooth leg peeping out. Abhi froze as he shamelessly stared at nature's perfection. Then he realized what he was doing when the nurse called him to come closer and hold on to her. Abhi looked at chasmish to see, now she had turned a shade of crimson in embarrassment. He didn't know why he did it, but since then he steadily kept looking at her eyes and nowhere else, he wanted to see comfort in her eyes - when she saw him stare at her exposed legs first, she was very embarrassed, but she kept quiet - he was her husband, he had the right to look at her, but it was she who couldn't get over Suresh and allow him to be close to her. If only she found closure from Suresh after hearing why the engagement broke - She would allow Abhi closer to her - She knew she would take time to love him again, but she could at least let him be husband sometimes. But then she saw how he maintained a steady eye contact with her all the while - she realized that he understood her embarrassment and was trying to save her from it - she felt a wave of gratitude towards him - if not a wife for now - she could at least offer her friendship she thought.
In a matter of a couple of days, the ice broke. Both were glad to be friendly with each other. With a shared comfort between them, Abhi found it easier to take care of her without thinking too much. Once when she wasn't in the mood for having her medicine, he found himself telling her stories of his childhood and how his daadi use fool him into taking the medicines, how Aaliya use to hid her medicines behind the pot plants etc. Pragya would be amused at these stories and finally on his insistence take her medicine. One day when the nurse failed to turn up, and daadi was taking care of her - by mid day he could see daadi tiring out, so he had insisted she rested, while he himself had fed her food, medicines and even put her to sleep - these weren't a difficult task for him, he had helped daadi similarly in raising Aaliya - but with every act he felt a strong bond of protectiveness grow inside him for Pragya - by taking care of her, he was exposed to her wounds and they connected him to her - it was important for him to cater to all her needs - a silent Pragya watched guilty at her super loving husband at her service - if only she could forget Suresh, coming close to Abhi would be so easy - Abhi was so lovable.
Whenever Pragya asked her mother or BB or Purab even, about Suresh, they would invariably dodge the topic, she understood why - they didn't want a past casting a shadow on her present - if only they understood how important this was - Abhi's love was making her guilty, she wanted to accept him faster but Suresh was the thorn - if only she could share this with someone. After a lot of thinking, she had hit upon a plan. She thought she would find the nerve to ask Abhi to take her to Suresh once - she would ask him herself. True Abhi will be hurt, but once she knew, she would explain it to him and she was sure he would understand. Off late whenever Abhi spoke to her, she would hardly join in his conversation, she would quietly wait for an opportunity to pop the request.
Abhi had started noticing that chashmish was faltering in her response each time he said something to her, again their equation was changing, he would catch her throwing expectant stares at him all the time he spoke or was in the room - God know's what she expected? What was a natural expectation of a real wife he wondered aloud one evening in his studio.
Tanu - Intimacy Abhi. Now go fulfil that desire of hers too! Now that's the only thing left right? After tearing the divorce papers?
Before Abhi could respond, an angry Tanu stomped out of the room. But Abhi didn't call her, he was stumped at what Tanu said - intimacy? So if he wasn't intimate to her, she would see through the fake attempt to beautify their ruined marriage? But he couldn't let that be - didn't the doctor say, it could be fatal if she was stressed? But chashmish and him? Well if her life depended on it...
