Feeling relax she leans back in his arm still in shock "she is my wife, if anyone touch her again i will personally send you to jail." he says letting go of her making her snap out of whatever dream she was in.
the goons just laugh at him and tries to attack him, pragya watch as the lean tall man dodge and kick the other guys sending them back, the leader grab a stick and tries to hit him from the back but he side step and grab his hand squeezing it tightly. "this will be the last time i will tell you, leave before i call the police." he says twisting the leader's arm, making him wince in pain.
The other guys looking at him, got up and scram, not even thinking twice. the guy sighs with relief and let go of the leader, who glares at him with hate before running away himself. sighing the man fix his clothes and turn to pragya. When she turn around she was hoping to see abhi, but she was disappointed once again, she watch as the guy walk towards her and stood in front of her. "are you ok miss?" he asks
The man was expecting an answer from her, but he didnt expect her to faint.

When he reached his house he parked and lifts pragya taking her inside his house.
"BROTHER!" his sister screams happily going to him, but stopped when she saw him holding someone in his arm
worried she looks at her brother " what happened to her?"

"its not like pragya to ignore our calls" she says before adding " do you think something happened to her, after all the rain is very heavy today" she says tense
bulbul thought about it, she totally forgot about the rain and how heavy it might be "maybe shes staying at school until the rain stops" she says convincing herself
"you're right, but i don't want her to stay out there all night, Maybe i should call abhi to pick her up"
"NO! " she practically screams
"why not?"
"I-I-I'm sure abhi busy with his concert, we don't want him to worry over nothing" she says nervously
sarla thought about it before agreeing with her, so decided she went to her room to rest , while leaving bulbul sigh with relief " i'm sorry mom, but abhi can't know where pragya works. He might cause her trouble there" she says not knowing that he already did
The next day, pragya woke up feeling weak and hungry, she sat up and look around the room. looking around she realise she don't know where shes at, just when she was about to speak the door opens " i brought you some soup, since my brother said you have a fever" she says closing the door
She turn around and was shock to see none other than her professor. "professor?" she says
"rani?... what are you doing here?" she asks confuse
