Pragya know she will face may up and down in his life once everyone comes to know about the truth,but to keep this child safe and happy pragya is ready to face even the whole world if she has to.But first she wanted to talk with Abhi about this and decided to tell everyone after knowing what his answer will be.Just then her phone rand and pragya took the mobile from the bed and smiled seeing it was none other than Bulbul who was calling her.Pragya attend the call and before she could say anything Bulbul said something which made pragya world crumble .
''DI HOW COULD YOU AGREE TO JIJU AND TANU'S MARRAIGE ''shouted Bulbul from the other end of the phone.
**************
Pragya just stood there numb after what Bulbul said or rather shouted at the end of the phone.she felt like her whole was crumbling and prayed this will be nightmare.But for the last few months everything happening in her life is not as she was praying or wishing so ofcourse this is also a cruel reality which she has to face now.
''Di .Di are you there?''asked Bulbul which bought pragya from her thougts.
''Haan Bulbul''said pragya controlling her voice from shaking.
''What 'haan Bulbul' di.How could you agree to Tanu's parents when you are in love with Jiju?''asked Bulbul and pragya didn't even have a clue what her little was talking about.
''Bulbul i really don't know what you are talking about.I have never seen Tanu's parents in the first place then how could i agree to Tanu and Abhishekh's marriage?''asked Pragya with confusion.
''But di i heard with my own ears Tanu talking about this to her friend today when i went to shopping with purvi and Rachana.She was telling her friend that Jiju will soon divorce you and will marry her and even you agreed for thier marriage to her parents on the lori day.Di what is actually all this means?''asked Bulbul with anger but pragya could see the concern in it.
''Bulbul what are you talking about.I didn't mean anyone on the lori day then how i ca...''started pragya but then she remembered how Abhi wanted her to meet his business partners and how tensed he was still they left.Pragya sat on the couch with disbelief how Abhishekh betrayed her and she believed him like a fool.She felt like heart was torn out realizing that Abhi didn't even respected to tell her the truth when she fell in love with him.
''Di can you here me?di?''shouted Bulbul in concern.
''Bulbul i really don't want to talk about it now.Tonight is your wedding and you have to just think about it.''said pragya in a stern voice.
''No di i am not going to leave this.I mean how can i get married and start a life when your life is spoiling infront of me.If you didn't tell me what happened i am not going to get married tonight''said Bulbul with anger.
''Stop it.Bulbul you are not going to do anything like that.If you really love me and respect me you are going to get married tonight and leave this topic its a promise on my life Bulbul and you have to do this for me.''said pragya firmly.
''But di you can't do this.Please di tell me what happened?''asked Bulbul pleadingly.
''Bulbul just know that your Jiju and di is not meant to be together.Its true that i love Abhishekh Bulbul,but sometimes just love is not enough and its just a one sided love.I want you to be happy and get married to the you love.so please if you want to do anything to your di do this.Do talk about this to anyone and just forget about it and focus on your wedding Bulbul''said pragya.She know she was manupulative in a way this time.But if this makes her sisters life good she don't give a damn about it.
''But di...''stared Bulbul to protest but pragya spoke again.
''No Bulbul no buts and ifs.If you love me you have to do this''said pragya and after few seconds she heard her sister's replay.
''Okay di.But how can you explain all this to maa and everyone di.Andmore over what about you and your feelings di?''asked Bulbul as her voice shook and pragya could understnd she was crying.
''Bulbul i will take care of everything you don't worry.And about my feelings ,its not the first time my heart is being broken and played so don't worry.your di is strong to be broken completely Bulbul ,so don't worry.Now go and get ready for your marriage and when you arrive here i want by sister to be beautiful bride i have ever seen ok.?''asked pragya with a little smile.
''Okay di.I love you''said Bulbul inbetween her sobs.
''I love you too Bulbul.Now stop crying and get ready go''said pragya with a smile.
''Okay di see you there.''said Bulbul.
''Bye Bulbul''said pragya and disconnected the call.Once she kept the mobile on the couch pragya let the tears she that she was holding back.But like before she didn't sob or scream,but just sat there and taking the information she heard from Bulbul.she didn't know whether to laugh or get anger at her destiny for playing this non stop game with her.Even for a second she though she could just quiting as she was really getting tired of even living her life.But she know if she.But pragya know suicide is not a solution for any problem and she was not a coward to do that too.And she was not a heartless women to destroy the innocent life growing inside of her for her selfishness.After few minutes of thinking pragya decided what to do.What she is going to do may be wrong for others,but she is not going to think of others anymore and for once in her life she wanted to be slefish if its not for her atleast for her child.she wiped her tears and got up from the couch knowing there is no use in sheding tears anymore and started to make some necessary calls to get help for what she is going to do.
*****************
Abhi was sitting in the back seat of his car with a red file in his hand and was lost in his thoughts while his driver was driving the car.He didn't know how he was going to ask Fuggy to sign these papers and going to convince her not to tell daadi about anything.He hoped that Fuggy will not think bad aout him when he will reveal her how he betrayed her in the lori day.Abhi didn't even know why he was feeling like he was going to loose something important to him thinking about pragya leaving him in few days.He know what he is going to do is going to upset everyone,but he know he can't break the promise and commitment he made with Tanu and moreover he loves her and she loves him too.so this will be the only solution for all their problem and even better for them too.But what confused him the most was the sudded change in his Fuggy behavior after holi.After holi pragya started to behave really weird with him and always made sure there are not in the same room apart from sleeping or have to take necessary things.She made sure they didn't have even a bit of phyiscal closness and started to sleep on the couch instead on her side of bed with him.She avoided talking to him as much as possible and talked only when daadi is around or its very imortant.Though Abhi didn't want to admit he was missing his Fuggy who will give non stop lectures and her glares.He hoped atleast they will part with good terms so that atleast they can reamin friends.
''Sir we reached home''said the driver which bought Abhi from his thoughts.Abhi nodded and got out of the car and walked inside the house which was glowing like a new bride for Rabul's wedding.He walked towards his room remembering his own wedding ,as he opened his room's door and entered the room he searched for his wife but she was nowhere to be found.Just then he saw pragya entering the room from the balcony with a notepad and pen in her hand.
''Fuggy''called Abhi and pragya looked him keeping the notepad on the bookself .
''Fuggy i want to talk with you about something''said Abhi and pragya just looked at him for few seconds blankly.
''Boliye''said pragya in a monotone voice.Then Abhi walked towards her and held her wrist and bring her to the couch and made he sit on it.
''Woh Fuggy actually i...i want sign in these papers''said Abhi and handed her the file.Pragya opened the file with confusion only to see divorce papers in it.Though she expected it she was still shocked that he will ask divorce just like that and looked at with hurt eyes.Abhi can't even face her seeing the hurt in her eyes and turned her back towards her and ran his hand through his hair .
''Pragya i know this will be shock for you.But you know well that i love Tanu and i want to spend my life with her.I know this will be shock to everyone but i will take care of every...''started Abhi to but pragya's voice stopped him.
''Here.Take it.''said Pragya and Abhi turned to see pragya standing with the file in her hand.
''I have signed it.Do whatever you want with it''said pragya in an emotionless voice and Abhi was really stunned to see her agreeing just like that without making any fuss.
''Pragya you are okay with this?''asked Abhi with shock.
''Yes''said pragya with the same voice but Abhi could see the pain and betrayal in her eyes which she was trying hard to hide.
''But i thouht...'''started Abhi but pragya spoke before he could finish.
''You thought what?That i will beg you not to do this or cry to take me as your wife.I am sorry to disappoint you Abhishekh but i am not going to do that anymore.Its was true that for sometime i thought may be this marriage can have a second chance,but when i came to know how a cute fool i was on the lori day and i came back to the reality.so you don't have to worry about anything coz i am not going to cause any problem in yours and Tanu's love life.I will leave this house and your life once for all after Bulbul and purab's wedding.So you go and plan for yours and Tanu's marriage''said pragya with anger.
''Pragya how did you know about lori day?''asked Abhi.
''Well even i have some people who really care about me and my feelings.So i must thank them for telling the truth and prevented my heart from getting hurt further''said Pragya with a bitter smile .
''Pragya i am really so...''started Abhi to apologize but pragya just shook her head negatively.
''Don't say sorry when you didn't mean it Abhishekh.Because if you are really sorry you would have never kept this from me this long .So keep this sorry with your self and get ready for tonight's wedding.Once this wedding is over i will talk with everyone and will leave your life for good as you wanted''said pragya and left to the washroom to get ready for the wedding without gvining Abhi a chance to replay.Abhi stood there no knowing what to do and he felt like someone stabbed his heart hearing she will be leaving him for good.
''But this is what you wanted from the day you married her Abhi.Then why are you feeling this pain''said a voice from a corner of his heart. Abhi shook his head as he himself didn't know the answer.He know what he did what wrong and he should apologize to her,but he know its not the correct time and have to wait till tomorrow and will talk and explain to her after Rabul's reception.Then she placed the file in his cupboard and went to get ready for Rabul's wedding.
***************
Pragya was talking with all the guest and making sure if they are comforable with a smile.Abhi who was talking with Akash saw her and his heart pained to see the pain in her eyes which she was trying to hide with a smile .He couldn't understand how she could be smiling while he know how much pain she is going through.seeing the pain in her eyes Abhi wanted her to hug her and tell he will take away all the pain,but he know he has no right as they are going to get divorce soon.Just then daadi's voice bought him back from his thoughts.
''Abhi if you want go and be with her,why are you secretly looking your own wife like she your secret lover''said daadi with a smile.
''Daadi app bhi na.Nothing like that''said Abhi forcing a smile while daadi and daasi's giggle.
''Haan haan we know everything.Now go and help our babhu instead of standing here and admiring her like a bolloywood hero.Go''said daasi with a smile.
''Okay.okay''said Abhi and walked towards pragya who was now talking in her mobile.
*******************
As Abhi came near pragya who was standing in a corner he saw her talking with someone in the mobile.
''Hey you guys wait there i will come and pick you guys''said pragya.
''Oh please shut up sid i will come and pick you both .Now shut up and wait there''said pragya with a smile .
''Okay bye''said pragya and turned with a slight smile shaking her head.But once she saw Abhi standing there her smile faded and she tried to go from there but Abhi stopped her holding her wrist.Pragya turned and glared at him looking at her wrist and Abhi immediately left her wrist.
''Where are you going pragya?''asked Abhi.
''That's none of your business Abhishekh''said pragya and Abhi literally flinched by the coldness in her voice.
''Pragya please tell me where are you going?I know you are angry and upset with me and you have every right to.But please pragya its not safe to go out alone at this hours ,so please let me help you.I will come with and pick your friend''said Abhi and pragya taught for few moments.Though she wanted to protest she know he will not leave this matter without a fight and even she didn't have the engry to fight after today's drama.
''Okay.I want to pick sidarath and Roshini.Their car broke and there are waiting on the way.''said pragya and Abhi nodded.
''Lets go and pick up them''said Abhi and left with pragya after infroming daadi.
********************
Abhi was driving the car while pragya sat silently closing her eyes on the passenger seat.Abhi wanted to talk a lot with pragya but he didn't know where to start.He know he was hurting her more than anyone by breaking their marriage,but he know this is the best for everyone coz there is no love in between them.Just then pragya opened her and looked at Abhi who looking the road and driving the car.
''Stop here they are waiting in the tea stall ''said pragya and Abhi stopped the car with a nod.As soon as Abhi stopped the car pragya removed the seat belt and left the car.Abhi let out a breath and followed pragya to the tea stall which was on the opposite side of the road.
As pragya came near the tea stall she saw sidarath and Roshini sitting on a bench and sipping tea.Once Siadarath saw Pragya he smiled and rushed towards her giving his tea to Roshini and took Pragya in a bone crushing hug.
''I missed you buddy''said sidarath with a smile while pragya hugged her back.
''I missed you sid''said pragya with a smile and sidarath broke the hug.Then Roshini came and hugged pragya with a smile.
''Hi di.How are you?''said Roshini as she broke the hug.
''I am fine Roshini.How are you?''asked pragya with a smile.
''I am fine di.Though i was regretting saying yes to sidarath's propsal now,i should really consider your advice before saying yes ''said with a fake sad voice and pragya tried to control her smile.
''I know Rosh don't worry honey i will be there for you and i will find another guy for you.Though i am sid's friend i can't destroy a girl life right?''asked pragya cupping Roshini's face.
''Ok girl now enough of teasing me can we go home now?''asked sidarath with a big smile.Then he turned towards Abhi and gave him a hug.
''Hi Abhi.How are you?''asked sidarath with a smile.
''I am fine sidarath.How are you?''asked Abhi with a smile.After talking with sidarath few times after the holi Abhi really started to like this guy who cares and loves his wife a lot.sometimes he was even jealous of his and pragya's friendship as he longed for this kind pf friendship a lot.
''Ofcouse i am fine.''said sidarath with a smile .
''Okay let go home.The wedding will start soon''said pragya and they all nodded and left in Abhigya's car to the wedding.
********************
Pragya was standing inbetween sidarath and Abhi with Roshini beside sidarath with a smile seeing his sister and purab who became her little brother taking pehra.she can see the content smile on Bulbul and Purab's face and thier love for each other in their eyes.Pragya prayed that they will both stay like this forever .Then Rabul sat infront of the fire again once they finished taking the pehra.Abhi on the other hand was lost remembering how he took pehra with his fuggy like this and a small smiled formed on his lips.
''Who is doing kanyadhan for the bride?''asked priest and Bulbul looked at pragya with a smile.
''I want my di to do kanyadhan.She was always a mother and father to me and always protected me from all kind of pain and trouble.so i want my di to do kanyadhan''said Bulbul with a teary smile .Hearing this pragya too got tears in her eyes and sidarath gave him a side hug seeing her getting emotional.
''Arrey meri dost please control this serial heroine emotions and do my sisters kanyadhan then you can shed these happy tears as much as you want ''said sidarath with a smile and pragya smiled at this and everyone present there laughed at this.
''Shup up and stop teasing my di sidarath.Di you don't listen to this fool and go''said Roshini with a smile.Then pragya went to Rabul and did their kanyadhan and placed a kiss on Bulbul's forehead.Then the marriage took place happily.
Bulbul was now hugging sarla and both of them are crying with happiness and a little sadmess.Then sarala broke the hug and cupped Bulbul's face and wiped her tears.
''Shhh stop crying beta.From now you must only smile with happiness ok''asked sarala and Bulbul nodded with a smile.Then she looked at pragya who opened her arms and Bulbul rushed into her arms and hugged her tightly.
''I love you di.Thanks a lot for everything''said Bulbul with a sob.
''Shhh Bulbul like maa said you must not cry anymore''said Pragyaa nd broke the hug.
''I love you too Bulbul and i must only see you smiling from now ok''asked pragya and Bulbul nodded.Then pragya looked at Purab who was standing beside Bulbul with a smile.
''Purab i know you love my sister a lot but still please keep her happy.Its my only request''said pragya but purab just pragya with a smile.
''I promise you di.I will keep her happy and will never hurt her''said purab with a smile and broke the hug.
''Thanks purab.I know you will keep your promise''said pragya with a smile cupping his face.
''Okay now you both go and enjoy your night''said Pragya and Rabul left to the resort that Abhi booked for them in the car,while everyone gave them a heary farewell.
******************
Pragya was standing with Robin and was helping to arrange the gifts while Abhi,Aaliya,Daadi,Purvi,SidNi are sitting on the sofa talking with other.Just then pragya started to feel slightly dizzy she caught the table for support and shook her head.After few seconds the dizziness vanished and pragya smiled softly placing a hand on his stomch.Then she started to walk towards the sofa to join others when the world around her started to spin and she lost the balance.But before she could hit the floor,sidarath who saw this rushed towards her and caught her in his arms.
''Pragya what's wrong?''asked sidarath cupping her face and pragya shook her head lightly.
''I am fine.Just need some water''said pragya and sidarath nodded and helped her to the sofa and made her sit inbetween Abhi and daadi.
''I will be back with the water''said sidarath and left to the kitchen.As sidarath left everyone started to ask pragya how she was as everyone started to get worried about her.
''Daadi i am really fine.Just dehydrated as i didn't eat well today.Nothing else and i am really fine''said pragya with a smile.
''But beta still we must check witht he doctor right.I will call the doctor ad we will make sure once''said daadi and pragya started to panic hearing this.
''No daadi.Its really fine.I don't want to trouble doctor at this hour''said pragya with a pleading voice.
''Ok.But by morning if you didn't get well i will call the doctor immediately''said daadi and pragya nodded with a smile.Just then sidarath came back with a glass of apple juice and handed it to pragya with a glare.
''Now drink this and have some rest.I don't want to see my frind fainting again''said sidarath with a stern voice and pragya nodded drinking the juice.Once she finished the jucie pragya gave the empty glass back to sidarath.
''Abhi now take bahu to your room and make sure she gets rest okay''asked daadi looking Abhi and her nodded with a smile.
''Daadi its okay. I am fine and i can to our room''said pragya getting up.But daadi shook her head negatively.
''No beta i want to make sure you are fine now Abhi take her''said daadi and Abhi gave her nod and lifted pragya in his arms and she circled her hands around his neck as she didn't want to create a scene by protesting.Abhi on the other hand felt a kind of peace and comfort embracing him on feeling her touch after many days and he started walk to their room without talking his eyes from her beautiful face and he was hoping that she will atleast look him once she was looking everywhere except him from the moment he took her in his arms.Pragya on the other hand is aware of his gaze on her face and she controlled herself from looking into his eyes and getting lost it in.She didn't know why he was making this more difficult by coming closer to her when she was trying to get as far as possible from him.Once they reached the room Abhi made her sit on the bed and looked at her.
''Are you alright Fuggy?''asked Abhi and pragya nodded.
''I am fine''said pragya in a plain voice and got up from the bed to chance her clothes. Abhi really had enough of this behavior of hers and he wanted have to real talk with her so Abhi caught her wrist and turned her towards her and hold her shoulder.
''Pragya please stop this indifference and let your anger out.If you want even hit me ,slap me and call me by names coz i deserve all this,but please don't act like nothing happened pragya.I know what i am doing is injustice to you,but it better for both of us pragya.There is no love in this marriage and you know well a loveless marriage will never work''said Abhi and pragya looked at her with a bitter.
''Who said there is no love in this marriage?''asked pragya and Abhi looked at her in shock.
''What?''asked Abhi in a low voice.
''I asked who said there is no love in this marriage Abhishekh.I know you are sure that you didn't love me but how could you decided that i didn't love you before even asking me once.''said pragya in a calm voice.
''Because i know you didn't love me pragya''said Abhi .
''WELL YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT MR.ABHISHEKH MEHRA COZ I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU FOR A LONG TIME LIKE A FOOL THINKING THAT EVEN YOU MAY FEEL THE SAME FOR ME.BUT OFCOURSE I AM A CUTE FOOL LIKE YOU SAID COZ I AM NOT A SUPERMODEL LIKE YOUR TANU TO RETURN MY FEELINGS RIGHT''shouted pragya and Abhi felt likes someone poured freezing water on him not able to belive what he was hearing .
''What..?How?''asked Abhi with a shock.
''Well even i didn't know the answer Abhishekh.I really didn't know the reason why i fell in love with you coz its not love when they is a reason in it.I was trying to confess this to you for a long time but i didn't know all this time you are planning for your wedding with Tanu.But why i am shocked by this coz she is the one whom you love and want to spend your life with her and i am just a girl to get revenge.Its true i am hurt Abhishekh but not coz you didn't return my feelings coz love can't be force and i know you will never love a girl like me.But i am hurt that you didn't even respect me to tell me the truth before taking a big decision of my life.But all this didn't matter anymore ,its just that i want you to know my feelings so that i can leave you and your life without any regret.So now please leave me ''said pragya and before Abhi could replay she went to chance leaving a stunned Abhi behind.
