Confessing Love to my Chashmish...
AbhiGya TS
Part 3- II
"Abhi!"
UFF! Pragya couldn't help but smile seeing the sulking Rockstar strumming on his guitar. As always, she knew he would find solace in his music room.
"Abhi listen to me!"
"No Chashmish! Leave me alone!"
Okay! So here we go!
"Okay! Whatever Rockstar! Anyway I will be leaving here forever once I get married to my perfect partner Suresh!"
Pragya expected him to have his own cheeky comeback but was surprised when he didn't say anything and kept his guitar away.
Abhi stared at her for a second and gently pulled her to him by her hand.
"Chashmish do you really want to do this? Do you really think Suresh is the one for you?"
Pragya for the first time in her life grew conscious around Abhi. He is so different today. She tried to recall when he was ever this serious with her before and came up with none. He is always so easygoing, always cracking silly jokes, making her laugh, so why is he so worried today? So serious... So intense...
"Chashmish is there... Is there any chance for me? For us?"
It took a minute for Pragya to grasp what he is saying. Abhi!? Abhi and me! No! Pragya searched his eyes but there was no mischief there, but pure earnestness.
"Abhi... Do you have any idea of what you are saying?"
Pragya asked as she tried to take back her hand from his grasp. He clutched her hand back and stood to face her.
"Chashmish I have known you forever. You have known me forever. We like each other and we have always been there for each other. I am asking whether you like to be with me for the rest of our lives."
"Abhi! I... I don't know what to make out of all this! Why are you saying all this now? It's all happening so suddenly I don't know what to say... I don't even know whether I love you. Or whether you love me.."
"I love you!" Abhi quickly blurted out.
"Abhi! It doesn't happen like that! I have seen you saying this to so many girls over the years. I am not them! I am looking for someone who really means those words!"
"But Chashmish I do! I do mean them!"
Pragya shook her head looking uncertain.
"I love you! I really do! I know you are not like the other girls I dated! I always knew that! I always knew you were different. Chashmish you know I have never lied to you in my entire life. I have always come to you in my good times and bad and you have always been there for me! You always mattered to me more than anyone else! It's true that I never realize I loved you till today... But now I know, I am sure I love you! I have always loved you..."
Pragya knew it was the truth. She could see it in his eyes but even without seeing it in his eyes she knew, because he would never lie to her.
Oh! This explains why he was so pissed with Suresh! He really was jealous!
Abhi waited for her response, only to see her blush and smile. She was lost in her thoughts and with each second he grew more impatient to know her response.
"Eiii Chashmish!"
"Huh? Hmm.."
"Please! Tell something na! I am waiting!"
Pragya thought of all the times they have shared since their childhood. He always made her laugh. He always made her happy. He always made her feel safe. More than anything he always made her feel so special.
Despite his silly antics, huge ego, he is still the most perfect man in her eyes. Most perfect match to her. Her best friend.
She thought about her irrational irritation and anger with his ex girlfriends. Although they have never done anything wrong to her, she never liked any of them and had been rather vocal about it too, much to the amusement of their siblings. Almost all the break ups occurred due to her disapproval and their close friendship.
Although she always gave the reason of the girl not being worthy of Abhi, now she knew it was her fault or rather her jealousy that never let her to accept any other as his love.
So does this mean... Yeah.. It must be...No! She is sure!
"I love you too!"
She saw him flash a smile. The smile she is used to so much, but it still managed to make her have give butterfly feels in her stomach.
"Say that again!"
"Oh ho Abhi! I.love.you!"
She emphasized on each syllable and found her face mirroring Abhi's as a smile formed in her face.
"I think I have always loved you..."
She admitted.
"Or really! That's why you were going to marry that Double battery! Huh?"
"Abhi! I never agreed to marry him! It was your misunderstanding! Nothing else!"
"What do you mean? But then why did Bulbul tell me so? And I was there when you called Aaliyah telling you agreed to the proposal?"
Pragya could see through the trio's plan immediately. The trio always knew they were meant to be together. Although it has been rather a hazardous plan it had been a success!
"Why are you smiling?"
So she let him in on the secret.
"What! So you were talking about the research grant... And they made me believe you are talking about Masterji!?"
Pragya nodded laughing at his expression.
And they both turned towards the door hearing giggling coming from outside followed by an angry hushing sound.
"Bulbul! I just know that it has to be you!" Abhi shouted at the door.
"I am not going to spare them!"
"UFF! Rockstar let it go na! If not for them we would never have realized."
Pragya said as she side hugged Abhi.
The Trio peeped through the door.
"UFF! Now let it go na... JIJUUU..." Bulbul said earning an amused smile from Abhi.
"Come on guys! Group hug!"
The trio hugged Abhi and Pragya. And soon started their usual nonstop chatter
while Abhi and Pragya looked at each other and smiled as their hands found each other's.
