Chapter 7
Pragya opened her eyes, tiredly, she sat up and touch her head trying to remember what happened to her. looking around she realise she's in the nurse room "what am i doing here?" she asks herself, Just when she was about to remember she heard the door open and fan screaming abhi name.
"yes yes, i love you all" he says before blowing a kiss and close the door with relief
He turns around to see pragya up and looking at him with her mouth half open " chashme" he says happily, He walks towards her and hugs her while squeezing her cheeks
"I'm glad you're ok" he says
"a-abhi" she says looking up "what are you doing here?"
"chashme chashme chashme, you see" he says letting go," I came here to let everyone know that you were my wife, but you divorce me" he says going to the chair next to her and sit down
he watches her reaction for a while before continueing " Did you see how half of the school reacted towards me coming here...now how would they feel when they find out that you divorced me and made dadima go faint. It might ruin your reputation and you might even get fired" he says
pragya knit her eyebrows together with worry, she knew abhi was right, she didn't want to lose her job but she can't let abhi push her over. putting her foot down she got up to leave, but abhi stops her from doing so.
"let go!" she says not even turning towards him
"No, didnt you hear what i said
"I heard everything you had to tell me abhi, now if you excuse me, i have a class to teach" she says
surprise at her attitude abhi squeeze her hand, " what's wrong with you chashme?"
"there's nothing wrong with me... abhi, I'm just tired of your threats" she says
"I think you hit your head really hard chashme, maybe you should sit down" he says about to pull her back to the bed
"DONT TOUCH ME..ABHI!" she yells surprising him for the second time today
"I don't need this from you right now" she says emotionally before adding " i'm tired of always protecting you, Not once did you say thank you or call my name. instead you insult me and threat me, so i'm done babying you. Matter fact, you don't have to tell my mom about our divorce i will" she says out of breath
she looks at abhi's shocking face, before turning around to leave, once she was out realization finally hits her what have i done she thought, walking slowly to her class, maybe i should go and apologize she thought, but she soon stopped and shook her head no way, that big baby deserve it.
"i mean he's always saying chashme this, chashme that, even when i try to help him he always call me ugly" she thought pissed, but then her expression got softer " but then, he can be sweet at times too, saving me when i'm in trouble and sometimes choosing me over tanu" she says in tears
why am i crying over that idiot, he doesn't deserve these tears she thought, "but what am i going to do about my words towards abhi, i can't tell my mom" she says opening the door to her classroom, as soon as she enters everyone rushed towards her. some worried while others look at her like a celeb.
"are you ok teacher?" rina asks
"what is your relation with abhi, professor?"
"why did he call you chashme?"
"are you friends with him?" another said before thinking about it
pragya was overwhelmed by the questions and it wasn't helping her headache at all. "come on guys leave her alone, she just fainted not to long ago" one of the boys said
"shut up krish, no one was asking u"
"professor maybe you should go home for the day" rina says concern
"you're probably right, class is over for the day" she says before grabbing her belongings and walk out, leaving them to their thoughts
It was raining when she steps out the building, seeing the rain brought back memories of the time she went to close the balcony door and abhi helped her. Snapping out of it she opens her umbrella sadly while thinking about abhi and tanu (songs starts playing Ab Doori Hai Itni)
Ab doori hai itni aankhen meri nam,
Tujh bin rona aaye per aansu hai kam,
Ae khuda mohlat de de ki kah de hum,
she steps in the rain and walks home, while walking she didn't notice abhi getting in his car to leave. the rain drowning her in her misery while hiding her tears that sheds from her eyes.
tanu probably happy that she won she thought not caring that her clothes were hugging her body, she might not care but abhi did. when he got in his car he saw her walking away from the rear of his mirror, even though she yelled at him, he still cared for her. what am i saying, i don't care... i'm only concern for dadi's sake he thought
Hummm...
Rona hai mujhko ab to rone do,
Khona hai sab kuch isko bhi khone do,
Ruk rahi hai ye saanse inhe rukne do,
watching her splash another water, sighing he told the driver to drive. just when he was about to pass her, he told the driver to stop. putting his window down, he watches as she takes her glasses off and wipes her tears from her face. with the wind hitting his face with its cold hands, it was like it was trying to tell him something, but he ignored it.
he was soon snapped out of his thoughts when he heard people, especially males whistling and teasing her. hearing them talk so inappropriate towards her just made him angry "doesnt chashme, have any shame." he says before adding " she probably love the attention she's getting" he said
he watch as the same guys walk to her and grab her hand, teasing her some more.
Hummm...
Thama jo hath kyu choota,
Kya tera saath hai jhootha,
Kya in saawalo ka jawaab doon,
Not wanting to see this he told the driver to drive, meanwhile pragya was not only scared she was ashamed, i should have known my umbrella wouldnt protect me from the heavy rain, i should have waited until the rain was gone. she thought, looking at the mens surrounding her, she watch as one of them tried to move closer to her to touch her, but she move back a step
"what is a pretty girl like you walking alone in the rain?" one of them said
"I heard the rain brings out the beauty in a person" the other said taking the rubber band that was slipping from her hair, removing it.
"what do you think your doing?" she asks timid
Kahne ko sab hain poore,
Tere bin mere gam bhi adhure,
Hai baddua ki ab bhi Zinda hoon main...
"why dont you come with us, and we'll take you home" the other man says
" no, now excuse me,i'm going home" she says moving to the other side, but the guys block her way
one of them grab the umbrella from her hand, making the rain soak her hair and also stick on her face. one of them touched her hair and smell it, making her appalled " you smell really nice" he says
pragya smack his hand from her hair and glares at him " dont touch me" she says breathing a little bit hard
Ab doori hai itni aankhen meri nam,
Tujh bin rona aaye per aansu hai kam,
Ae khuda mohlat de de ki kah de hum,
Hummm...
" why shouldn't i your not married"
"i know, so we can have you if we want" they said before laughing
this is ridiculous she thought, don't they have any shame
" look i don't have time for this nonsense, now move before i call the police" she says
they look at each other and laugh " ugly gonna call the police on us"
"yeah, go ahead they're not gonna do anything, my dad have my back" he said
making pragya tense, if what he said is true then what am i going to do she thought
"I..I..I" she says getting their attention, one of the guys lean closer to hear what she said
" you what, ugly"
"I'm married" she said blushing while looking straight at them
the guys were shock for a minute before laughing really hard 😆 " so if you're married where's your husband?" they asks making her uncomfortable
"HERE I AM!" he says walking towards pragya, he glared at the others and slap the guy that was closer to her, than he watches pragya expression and smiles, before hugging her.
