CHAPTER:3
Its was Rabul's reception next morning and the whole Mehra house was in a buzz with guest.Everyone was smiling seeing the beautiful couple sitting together on the stage and prayed to keep them happy like this always.But amist all this happiness and smile the rockstar of this house couldn't even fake a smile after the talk with his last night.After the last night talk pragya slept on the couch while Abhi didn't even get a blink of sleep.The next morning when pragya woke up she didn't even look at once and started to take care of the reception preparation.Abhi really wanted to talk with pragya but he didn't know what to talk after knowing her feelings for him.He was wondering how a girl who he insulted,tortured and married for the soul purpose of getting revenge could fall in love him.He know he is the only reason for her life getting destroyed and he can never forgive himself for it.He wish he could reverse the time and undo what he did with his wife a long back.After just laying there 30 minutes he decided to get ready for the reception and now he was sitting on the chair with a glass of orange juice looking at his smiling wife who was standing with Roshini and Aaliya.He couldn't believe how Aaliya changed soon and became a good friend with pragya in these short time.But how could she not,afterall pragya is the kind and selfless woman he know after his maa and daadi.Then he looked at sarla ,RSD who was talking with daadi and puravi who was now teasing Bulbul and Purab standing inbetween them.Seeing their smile Abhi didn't know how is going to face them once the truth about their marriage will be out.He really got a second mother and daadi in sarla and RSD and two more sisters in Bulbul and purvi and he didn't want to loose them or see the hate for him in their eyes.He really wanted to talk to pragya about last night and he was determined to talk with her tonight after the reception.
Pragya who was standing with Roshini and Aaliya was smiling for a joke Roshini said but her mind was lost in the last night events.She didn't know what made her to express her feeling to Abhi,but now she was glad that she expressed her feelings as she can leave this house without any hard feeling.she know she was doing injustice to Abhi by keeping the new of their unborn child ,but she can't tell him when he was going to bring a girl like Tanu in his life and she didn't want her child to get any habits of that dirty woman.Just then she saw sidarath coming towards them with juice stains on his sherwani .
''Sidarath what happened?''asked Roshini.
''Some kids poured juice on me accidently yaar.''said Sidarath then he turned towards Pragya.
''Pragya did you gave any spare sherwani?'asked sidarath and Pragya nodded.
''Haan i think Abhishekh will have one.Come on i will give you one''said pragya but Aaliya stopped her.
''Bhabhi you have already done a lot of work from yesterday so please relax for sometime i will help him with this''said Aaliya with a smile.
''But Aaliya...''started pragya to protest but Sidarath spoke .
''Buddy she is right even yesterday you was about to faint .so now relax like she said.Roshini make sure she stays with you ''said sidarath and Roshini nodded.
''I will take care of Di sidarath.you go''said Roshini and sidarath left with Aaliya to Abhi's room.
Once Aaliya entered Abhi's room with sidarath she took him to the walk in wardobe.
''You can take any sherwani you want.''said Aaliya and sidarath nodded with a smile.
''Thanks Aaliya''said Sidarath with a smile.
''Its okay.I will leave now you come down after changing''said Aaliya and left the room,while sidarath entered the wardobe to get a sherwani.
*************
Once the reception was over pragya was now talking with Bulbul while purab was busy with his other friends.
''Bulbul make sure you take all the necessary clothes and your passport okay?''asked pragya.
''Sure di.But di are you sure you didn't want to talk about Jiju and tanu's wedding.''asked Bulbul holding pragya's hands .
''Bulbul as i said before we will talk about this once you return from your honeymoon.I know you are worried about me but this is not time to worry but to enjoy your wedding with purab.Now stop worrying about me and be happy Bulbul''said pragya with a smile.
''But how can i be happy when you are hurting di?''asked Bulbul as her eyes got moist.
''Bulbul if you are in my place you would want me to be happy even if you are not right?''asked pragya to which Bulbul nodded positively.
''Then ofcourse i would want to same for you.So now stop thinking about me and think about you and purab.we will talk about this once you return from honeymoon''said pragya and Bulbul nodded.Just then pragya saw purab coming towards them.
''See here comes your Romeo''said Pragya and Bulbul blushed .
''Di we must leave now.we must pack now as our flight is this evening''said purab and pragya smiled.
''Hmmm not bad purab so eager for Honeymoon.okay take your Juliet who am i to keep her with me''said pragya and Rabul smiled with a little blush.
''Di please yaar stop teasing us''said Bulbul and pragya laughed.
''Ok i will.But take care of yourself and calls us once you guys land in France.''said pragya and purab nodded.
''Sure di.I will call you''said purab with a smile.
''Okay now love birds get going''said pragya and Rabul left giving a hug to pragya.Once Rabul left everyone went to take rest while Abhi left to recording studio for an important meeting.Pragya after taking care of everything and walked towards daadi's room to give her medicines,but sidarath walked towards her and held her wrist.
''Come with me now.''said sidarath in a srious tone and dragged pragya towards her room before she could protest.
''Sidarath where are you taking me?I have to give tablet t daadi''said pragya trying to get out of his hold.
''Tell Robin to give Dadi he tablets.I want to talk with you now pragya''said sidarath and pragya nodded hearing the seriousness in his voice.
''Ok wait i will call Robin''said pragya then she called Robin and infromed himto give daadi her tablets and they went to her room.Once they entered her room sidarath closed the door and took get to the balcony.Once they entered the balcony sidarath left pragya's hand and sidarath took the same file which contained their divorce papers .
''What the hell is this pragya?''asked sidarath with anger while pragya looked him in shock.
''Where did you get this from?''asked pragya in shock.
''Damn it pragya that's not important now.Tell me what the hell is happening between you and Abhi that you two decided to get mutual divorce?''shouted sidarath and pragya didn't know what to say.
''Sidarath i really don't want to talk about this''said pragya in a stern voice but sidarath could see the pain she was trying to hide.Sidarath then composed himself and made pragya sit on the couch and say beside .
''Pragya i know you love Abhi coz i can see it in your eyes then why are you giving him divorce.Is there any misunderstanding between you both?.pragya please don't keep all your problem bolted inside you buddy.Please atleast tell me what is going on here?''asked sidarath with concern and care.seeing his concern and care pragya finally broke down in tears which she was controlling for the past 20 days and sidarath just pulled his chest to give her comfort.For the next 20 minutes pragya just sobbed into his chest while sidarath just caressed her back in comfort.Once pragya all her tears out sidarath broke the hug and wiped her tears.
''Now tell me what happened''asked sidarath and pragya nodded as she know she have to share her pain with someone.Then pragya told him everything from how their marriage coz of a misunderstanding and finally how he asked divorce yesterday.Sidarath on the other hand didn't even know how to react after knowing how much his friend went through.But still sidarath felt like she is hiding something and held her shoulder making her look at him.
''Pragya i know you are still keeping something from me.Please don't lie to me anymore''asked sidarath and pragya didn't know if she could tell him about her pregnany or not.she know if she can trust something with this it will be him,but still she didn't know how he will react to this particular news.
''Sidarath before i tell you i want you to promise on me that you will not tell anyone about what i am going to tell you.Promise me.''asked pragya and sidarath nodded.
''I promise you''said Siadarath keeping his hand on her's.
''Sidarath i am preganant''said pragya and sidarath shocked would be an understatement.
''What?But how?''asked sidarath with shock and confusion and pragya explianed the bang night and how Abhi didn't remember anything next morning.Sidarath felt like breaking every bone in Abhi's body in the most painful way.But now he know he must be there for pragya so he again took her into his chest and pragya started to cry silently while sidarath eyes too got moist feelings his best friends pain.After few minutes sidararth broke the hug and wiped her tears placing a kiss on her forehead.
''Enough pragya no more tears or crying.I am not going to let you go through more pain,you are coming with me today.And please don't protest coz i am not going to listen to any of your excuse.I will take to maa and get your room ready''said Sidarath and pragya nodded.Though she wanted to protest she know she needs someone help now and she can't risk her child's life travelling a lot.
''Okay sid but first i have to talk with everyone and explain everything.In the mean time go and talk with Roshini and make sure she is okay with this.''said pragya and sidarath looked at her confusion.
''Why would Roshini will not be okay with this pragya?She loves you yaar ofcourse she will be okay with this''said sidarath and before pragya could replay Roshini's voice came from the back.
''He is right di.you must come with us''said Roshini and both of them turned and looked Roshini who was standing there with tears.Seeing her tears both sidarath and Pragya understood that she heard their whole conversation.
''Roshini what are you doing here?''asked pragya and Roshini came near them.
''Actually i came here to inform that Daadi called you di and i heard everything.And what sidarath said is right di you must come with us leaving this house''said Roshini.
''Thank you Rosh.I will come with you guys.But before that i have tell this to everyone''said pragya wiping her tears.
''Di are you going to inform them about your pregnancy too?''asked Roshini sitting beside her.
''No Rosh i am not going to tell them now.If i tell them they will not allow me to go anywhere.I will tell them later when the right time comes''said pragya and SidNi nodded in understanding.
''Just know this buddy we both will be always with you and will always support you''said sidarath with a smile.
''And your junior too''said Roshini with a smile and SidNi hugged pragya and she smiled seeing the love they have for her and hugged them back.
*************
Abhi entered his room after the meeting determined to talk with pragya tonight.He know it will not be easy to make her talk or listen to him,but Abhi know he must apologize for whatever he did to her.Then he searched her in the room,then in balcony and was confused when he didn't find her anywhere then he went to the bathroom to check if she was inside ,but when he came near the washroom he found the door wide open.
''Where is this Fuggy?''asked Abhi but after few seconds his eyes widen and he rushed and opened pragya wardobe only to it empty without any trace that it was used by someone before.Then he entered the room and looked at the book shelf only to found pragya's book was missing.
''No no no.She can't just leave me just like that''said Abhi and left the room to ask daadi about pragya.
As Abhi entered daadi's room he saw daadi sitting on the bed with daasi's and walked towards them.
''Daadi where is pragya?All her clothes and things are missing.''asked Abhi.
''She left''said Daadi in a monotone voice that's when Abhi noticed the glares daadi and daasi's giving him.
''What ?where she left?''asked Abhi.
''She left the house and your life for good like you wanted.She told everyone everything and about your and Tanu's marriage.you can marry Tanu now Abhi i don't have problem with it so you don't have to act that you care about pragya beta anymore''said Daadi and Abhi stood there in shock.
''Now please get out of room as i don't even want to look at you now''said Daadi with glare.
''Daadi please let me explain...''started Abhi but Daadi cut him off.
''What are you going to explain Abhi?you are going to explain how you lied to me all this time or how you and your pyari sister destroyed a innocent girl's life or how you insulted and hurted my bahu or how you planned your second marriage on pragya's back.Tell me Abhi about what you are going to explain ?Do you really think you can give me a valid reason for what you did?''asked Daadi and Abhi kept quiet as he know he can never give any valid for what he did with pragya.Seeing him quiet Daadi continued talking.
''See Abhi i know you can't give any valid reason for what you and Aaliya did.For the first time from the moment i held you and Aaliya in arms i feel ashamed to call you both as my grandchildren Abhi.I never thought my Abhi will do something like this,but i know its my fault for not seeing you and Aaliya's true color soon.But don't worry Abhi from this moment i will not ask you anything about you are doing.you can marry whoever you want and i will agree to it.Now please leave this room''said daadi in a stern voice and Abhi left the room with a defeated look.As he came out of daadi's room he let the tears he was holding back fall and .rushed to his room,once he entered the room Abhi locked the door and sat on the bed keeping his head in his hands as tears followed silently from his eyes remembering daadi words.But what was hurting him most was the fact that pragya really left the house and him without even a goodbye.When finally what even from the moment of their marraige happened ,he don't know why he was feeling this unbearing feeling in his heart realizing his Fuggy left him forever.Abhi though he will talk with her atleast to say how sorry he was for doing this to her,but here she left him without even giving a chance to apologize.But he just can't leave this without apologizing to pragya or her family members so he wiped his tears and took his cars keys and left for the Arora's house.
******************
As Abhi parked his car near pragya's house and got down he saw all the lights in their house are switched on and let out a breath of relief that he could talk with everyone.Then he got out of the car locking it and walked towards the gate but as he was about to open the door a hand was placed on his shoulder and Abhi turned only to see purab standing there.
''What are you doing here Abhi?''asked purab with a glare .
''Purab i want to talk with pragya.so please let me go inside''said Abhi.
''Pragya di is not inside Abhi.she left the town this noon''said purab and Abhi felt like someone poured cold water on him.
''What..?''asked Abhi in shock and disbelief.
''Haan Abhi after she told everything to everyone as she didn't want to be in the same town with you.But i don't know what you want to talk with her when she did what you wanted from the day of your marriage.''asked purab in a calm voice but Abhi could feel the anger behind his calm exterior
''Purab please tell me you are joking i really want to talk with pragya and everyone''said Abhi but purab just shook his head.
''I am not joking Abhi di really left the town and please don't even think of talking with anyone inside coz everyone is very angry and upset with you.And what will happen just with your apology Abhi.Do you really think your sorry will make everything right?No Abhi it will not coz your literally destroyed di's life.How could you even think of replacing a selfish woman like Tanu in pragya di's place Abhi?How could you?''asked purab with anger.
''Purab out of all people you know how much i love Tanu and how much she loves me.How can i just leave her when i promised to marry her once all the problem is solved?''asked Abhi and purab looked Abhi with disbelief.
''so you will leave the woman to whom who made 7 promises,placed kumkum on her bang with your name and tied manglasutra around her neck ,just for a promise you did with a girl who didn't even support you when you needed her the most''asked Purab and Abhi didn't know how to replay this.
''Abhi do you really think Tanu loves you when she didn't even supported you once.Are you that blind Abhi?.Can't you see how Tanu is just using your fame and money for her career?''asked purab with irritation.
''purab i know you don't like Tanu,but i know she really loves me so please don't talk about her like that''said Abhi and purab glared at him hearing this.
''Oh really Abhi.Okay then do what i say and even after that your so called Tanu says she loves you and marry you i will accept she loves you and i will never talk about it.''said purab and Abhi looked at him with confusion.
''What you want me do?''asked Abhi .
''Well now go and say to Tanu that you will leave your house and property as daadi said she will never agree to this marriage and if you have to marry her you must leave all your properties behind and tell her that you both can marry now without any problem then you will know her true colors Abhi.If you really want to apologize to di and other first do this then you can think about others''said purab and was about to enter the gate but Abhi stopped him.
''Purab where is pragya ?Where she will be staying is she leaves this town?''asked Abhi and Purab smiled seeing his concern for his di.
''Don't worry she is fine and there are many people out there who loves di and takes cares as their own.First now go and talk to Tanu like i said then i talk with you ''said purab and entered the gate while Abhi stood there thinking about purab said.Though Abhi wanted to ignore purab's words a small part of his heart really wanted to know what will Tanu say for what purab said and decided to visit here without wasting any time.
****************
Pragya was laying on the back seat of SidNi's car resting her head on Roshini's lap with a warm blanket covering her as sidarath sat in the passenger seat while driver was driving the car.She was feeling really blessed seeing how much her best and her new little sister cares for her and her unborn child.she didn't know what made daadi and her maa to agree her decision of leaving the city with sidNi,but she was glad that they agreed and promised to keep her whereabout from Abhi.she may be selfish for keeping the news about their unborn child from everyone but if its for her child's welfare she didn't give a damn about selfishness anymore.Pragya know she have to tell the truth to Abhi when the time comes,but she know this is not the correct time so didn't even feel guilty for keeping this from his.From this moment she decided only to think for and about her child and nothing more.with this thought pragya drifted into a dreamless sleep praying that her tomorrow will bring some peace and happiness in her and her child's life.
