Hi guys, ahven't been able to aprticipate today, but skimmed the LU after the fact (thanks mishti!). i was thinking i really want abhi to know about suresh wanting bulbul so i just started writing some nonsense...
abhi: i'm doing all this for your happiness
pragya: what happiness? another loveless marriage, only this one with no end in sight. at least with you i knew you'd throw me out of your life as soon as you got daadi to accept tanu. but with suresh i'll be stuck forever. whatever nonsense you brainwashed him with makes him think this is his duty. do you even have any idea how awful it is, to know someone is accepting you only out of duty?
abhi: what are you talking about, he loves you -
pragya: oh just stop your nonsense! he loves bulbul. he loves duty. he fears society's taunts. he doesn't love me, not in the way you keep talking about.
abhi: what is that supposed to mean, he loves bulbul? you can't use that as your excuse for everything chashmish. honestly, first purab, now suresh -
pragya: have you ever seen my sister? do you honestly doubt there is a man in the world who could see her and not love her?
abhi: i don't love her
pragya: well day by day i'm more convinced you're less man and more monster
abhi: hey!!
pragya: just go away. i'm doing this for you, but i can't stand to be around you anymore. leave me alone so that i can think about all the bleak years ahead of me in peace.
abhi: chashmish at least one thing you should know by now, if you want me to do something then pakka i will not do it
pragya: right. so because i'm asking you to call off this wedding, you will not do it. what, do you want me to hug you and dance for joy? do you want me to beg you to please, please, please send me into suresh's arms because oh i just can't wait for another indifferent and unloving husband? sorry. at least one thing you should know about me, i can't lie about what's in my heart.
abhi: excuse me? you've been lying left and right. first you let me believe you were involved with purab, then you never told me that the only reason you married me was your mother, and now you're half the time denying the MMS, half the time confirming that you have been carrying on with suresh - what am i supposed to think?
pragya: you're supposed to believe
abhi: then give me something to believe, chashmish. you're doing this for me? tell me how will it help?
pragya: you're the one who put all those outrageous conditions! i can't let you destroy yourself
abhi: so you're letting me destroy you instead
pragya: what?
abhi: that's why i'm doing all this chashmish. to see how far you'll go for your so called love. if you can't stand up and claim me for yourself, how can i believe you really love me?
pragya: no, seriously...what?! this has all been...what, a test?
abhi: a challenge
pragya: you...you...you want me to show that i love you by arguing with you? by refusing to do what you want?
abhi: yes, that's how we work
pragya: but - you were threatening to upload the mms! you were ready to do it -
abhi: no, you believed i was ready to do it. that's the problem chashmish. why are you willing to believe the worst of me?
pragya: because you're always showing me the worst of you!
abhi: well it's not like you're showing me the best of you, either. when have you ever shared your true self with me?
pragya: how could i, when you just wanted to hurt me all the time?
abhi: ...fine. fine, so we've both made mistakes.
pragya: and this was your plan? this insanity -
abhi: it worked didn't it? finally you were honest with me. in future don't make it so hard.
pragya: what future! we signed the divorce papers didn't we? i think the wise thing would still be to walk away from you
abhi: but you're not wise when it comes to me
pragya: ...no. i guess i am a fool in love.
abhi: exactly. and i love you for it.
pragya: *glares*
abhi: *grins*
both: *slow motion walk to each other and have the hug of a lifetime*
