CHAPTER:5
As vidyut and pragya walked towards Abhi's room vidyut saw pragya was looking nervous.
''Pragya don't worry everything will be fine''said vodyut with a friendly smile.
''I know vidyut but i not worried about Abhi now''said pragya.
''Then about what you are worried?''asked vidyut.
''I am worried about Aarav.Even Abhi agrees to this marriage i din't know if Aarav will accept me as his mother''said pragya and vidyut smiled.
''pragya you didn't know how much our Aarav loves you and he will be the happiest person in this whole house to have you in this family and as his mom so don't get worried unnecessarily.First talk with Abhi then we can think about Aarav''said Vidyut and pragya gave him a nod.Then vidyut stopped before a room and pragya understood it must be Abhi's room.
''This is his room.Go and talk to him i will wait down''said vidyut and left while pragya looked at the closed door taking a deep breath.Then she knocked on the door waiting for any response.
''Come in''came a replay after few seconds and pragya opened the door with a dertermination to make his agree for this marriage for everyones welfare.
***********
As pragya entered the room she saw Abhi sitting on the couch with his laptop and gave her a light smile once he saw her.
''Pragya what are you doing here?Not that i didn't like your presence''said Abhi keeping his laptop aside.
''Well i came to see Daadi and thought of seeing how are you doing?''said pragya with a smile.
''Okay.Have a seat i will ask Robin to bring coffee or tea''said Abhi and pragya sat on the bed.
''No Abhi its okay.Actually i came to talk something important to you''said pragya and Abhi too became serious seeing her lightly tensed.
''Pragya what is wrong?''asked Abhi in concern.
''Abhi nothing is wrong.But please listen to what i am going to say calmly okay?''asked pragya.
''Okay.But what is the mtter pragya?''asked Abhi and pragya took a deep breath and explained everything.
**************
Abhi sat on the couch in shock and disbelief after listening to what pragya said and he didn't even know how to respond.He know whatever pragya saying is a good solution to win Aarav's custody,but he can never even imagine destroying a girl's life by marrying her just foz a custody a she know he can never love any girl after what happened with Tanu.He know Pragya is a great girl and will love Aarav as her own son,but he know she too has dreams and hopes of marrying a guy who will love her and respect her and h is not ready to destroy her dreams and hopes.Its true he respects her and even considers her as a good friend,but when it comes to love the answer is a straight NO.Pragya on the other hand looked at Abhi who was lost in thoughts and wished he will say yes to this proposal.She know its really hard for him to take a big decision of his life just like that,but its the only way to stop this family from loosing its happiness.Then finally Abhi looked at pragya and stood up from the couch then walked towards her.Once Abhi reached the bed he sat beside her and she looked him.
''Pragya i didn't even know how to thank you for loving my Aarav and our family a lot to this extend but i can't agree to this marriage as i can't destroy your life just to save my son.''said Abhi and pragya was not disappointed as she was expecting this answer from him.
''Abhi why would this marriage destroy my life ?''asked pragya.
''Bcause pragya i know even you will have the dreams of marrying a guy who will love and respect you.I respect you a lot for whatever you did for Aarav and though of doing but i can never love you as i was broken beyond repair to love again.''said Abhi .
''Abhi whatever you are saying is true about i having dreams about love and everything.But this marriage is to win Aarav's custody and let think its an arranged marriage.I mean if i get arranged marriage ofcourse i will not know whether my husband loves me or now.I don't know what will happen in the future if this marriage happens Abhi,but i am sure we can make this work.You are hurt in the past and you didn't want to let anyone hurt you like that again.But i am not Tanu Abhi and i will never hurt anyone in this family .so please think about what i said and take a good decision.I am not forcing you Abhi but you too coz of this marriage everyone will be happy.so call me once you decide.I will leave now''said pragya and left the room leaving Abhi in his thoughts.
Once pragya reached the living room Vidyut came to her who was sitting on the couch with his phone.
''so what he said?''asked vidyut and pragya took a deep breath.
''He said no as i expected but i asked him to think well.Hope he will take a postive decision.''said pragya and vidyut shook his in irritation.
''This Abhi bhi na.Pragya you go and talk with Daadi i will talk with my idiot friend ''said vidyut and pragya gave a nod.
''Vidyut where is Aarav?Is he hom?''asked Pragya with a smile.
''No yaar.He went to movie with Akash as Abhi didn't want him to be here when we discussed about the coustody with the lawyer.But they will be back soon''said Vidyut with a smile.
''Okay i will go and see daadi''said Pragya and left to see daadi while vidyut went to see Abhi.
**************
Once vidyut reached Abhi's room he entered the room without knocking and saw Abhi standing in the balcony holding the railing and he walked towards the him.As vidyut came near Abhi he stood beside him and started to talk.
''You are saying yes to this marriage Abhi and that's final''said vidyut in a stern voice.
''Vidyut please don't compel me.You know i can never destroy a girl life especially pragya's''said Abhi and vidyut looked him in irritation.
''Abhi will you please stop this self lothing talk for once and accept something good that's going to happen in your life for once.Just coz a worthless girl left you didn't mean it will happen with every girl and can't you see how kind hearted and good pragya is?''asked vidyut
''Well that's the reason i am saying no to this marriage vidyut.I can't let a selfless girl like pragya hurt by marrying me.You know i can never love her like she deserves ''said Abhi.
''Why can't you love her again?Haan why can't you?And don't tell me its coz of Tanu as i am tired od hearing the same excuse for the past 5 years.I know what Tanu did hurted you a lot,but its time for you to move on and forget the past.I know its hard Abhi but just think about daai,Akash and Aarav too.Do you really think daadi is happy seeing you like this and Akash till blames himself for what happened.You can only see them completely happy f you get married again Abhi.Then think about Aarav who is need of a mother's love.You may love him a lot and keep him happy Abhi,but we both know none can replace a mother's love.I have never seen Aarav this happy with anyone apart from us ,but he is now always talking about pragya and you too can see how much he loves her.so please Abhi say yes to this marriage and i am sure you will not regert it and i am sure you will fall in love with pragya if you let yourself.''said vidyut and Abhi closed his eyes in thoughts.He know what pragya and vidyut was right but still he didn't want to risk him being getting hurt again or him hurting pragya,but after whatever vidyut said Abhi decided to say yes as he can't see his daadi suffering anymore or Akash blaming himself or Aarav missing a mother's care.
''Okay''said Abhi and vidyut looked him in shock.
''What?''asked vidyut in shock.
''I said okay to the marriage.I will marry pragya and give this marriage a chance''said Abhi and vidyut just smiled brightly and hugged his tightly.
''OMG Abhi i am so happy yaar.''said Vidyut and Abhi too hugged his best friend with a smile.After few seconds they broke the hug and vidyut was literally smiling like a cat in the fish shop.
''Finally meri akdu friend agreed to something without a lot of argument.I can see the responsible married man attitude getting on you from now yaar''said vidyut and Abhi smiled at his friend dramtic dialogues.
''Stop your drama and let me call sanjai and inform about this news''said Abhi and vidyut nodded positively .
''Yea.we must talk with him once before deciding anything.Call him''said vidyut and Abhi entered the room with vidyut and called sanjai their lawyer taking th mobile which was on the couch.
***********
Here pragya was sitting with daadi in her room and they are talking for the last 30 minutes randomly when they saw Aarav coming running inside the door with lauging followed by Akash who was trying to catch him.
''Aarav stop and apply medicines to the wound.''said Akash.
''No chachu i will not.It will burning''said Aarav and then looked at pragya and he smiled more brightly .
''Pragya Aunty''said Aarav and rushed towards the bed and hugged pragya once he got on the bed.Pragya too hugged him back with a smile.
''Hi Aarav how are you?''asked pragya once she broke the hug.
''I am fine aunty.How are you?''asked Aarav .
''I am great champ.so why are you troubling chachu?''asked pragya and Aarav pouted.
''Chachu wants to put medicine to my wounds,but i don't want to as it will burn''said Aarav and pragya became concern.
''Wound?where are you hurt Aarav and seeing her care and concern Akash and daadi couldn't help but smile.
''Actually di when we are coming back to the parking after the movie he fell down in the parking and got a some wound on his knees''said Akash and pragya immediately made Aarav sit near her and rolled his pant up to see a small wound on his knee and she became releaved to see it was nothing but a small wound.
''So my champ didn't want to apply medicines?''asked pragya and Aarav nodded his head negatively.
''Okay then.But i was thinking we both an play basket ball again but now i have to find another partner''said pragya and Aarav looked her with confusion.
''Why?I will play with you na''said Aarav but pragya gave a dramatic sigh.
''No Aarav you can't play with me anymore coz if you didn't apply medicine to this wound now it will became big wound and you can't play again.so i have to find another partner na''said pragya with a sad face and Aarav started to think for few moments.
''Okay i will apply the medicines,but promise me you will play basket ball with me tomorrow''said Aarav and pragya gave him a smile.
''Promise.Now will you let me apply the medicines?''asked Pragya and Aarav gave a nod.
''Good.Wait i will be back with the first aid box''Said pragya and was about to get up but Akash stopped her .
''Di i will take it''said Akash and he went to the dressing table in the room and took a first aid box and gave it to pragya.
''Thanks Akash''said pragya with a smile.
''Di actually i must thank you for making this devil agree to apply medicine.He is such a spoiled kid sometimes.''said Akash and Aarav just showed Akash his tongue and turned back to pragya.
''Don't listen to chachu aunty.You know i am a good boy right?''asked Aarav.
''Arrey haan ofcourse you are a very good boy.Don't take about him like this again Akash''said Pragya and kissed Aarav on his cheek.
''See na chachu.I am the good boy here''said Aarav and Akash rolled his eyes at him.
''Haan haan aunti ki chamchi.''said Akash with a smile.Then pragya softly applied the oilment cleaning the wound and sticked a bandage on it.
''See that's it.''said pragya with a smile.
''Thanks aunti''said Aarav and placed a kiss on her cheek which made everyone smile.
''Aww you are welcome my champ''said pragya and got up from the bed to wash her hands.
''I will be back washing my hands''said Pragya and left to the bathroom.Just then Abhi entered the room with vidyut who saw all this with a smile.He was really happy to see the love pragya was having for his son and hoped Aarav will agree to this marriage though Abhi was sure he will be more than happy about it.
''Papa you know the movie was so nice.''said Aarav as Abhi sat beside him.
''Really.Then we can got to the movie again next week''said Abhi with a smile.
''Really papa?''asked Aarav with a excited smile and Abhi nodded.
''Then can we take Pragya aunty with us?''asked Aarav with a hopefull smile.
''Ofcourse if aunty comes we can''said Abhi and Aarav jumped on the bed with happiness.
''Thank you so much papa you are the best''said Aarav hugging Abhi and Abhi too hugged back with a smile.Just then pragya came out of the washroom and smiled seeing the father and son.
''Aunty we are going for the movie next weak will you come with us ?''asked Aarav with excitement and pragya looked at Abhi who gave her a nod.
''Ofcourse i will.After all how can i say no to my sweet Aarav's request?''asked Pragya with a smile.Just then her mobile rang in her pocket and she took it out to see purab was the one calling her.
''Excuse me''said pragya to other and attend the call.
''Haan purab bolo''said pragya .
''Di where are you yaar?''asked purab in a sleepy voice.
''I am at Abhi's house.''said Pragya
''Well i am really hungry now and there is nothing in the house to eat''said purab.
''Oyi look in the fridge.There will be two burgers and chicken lolipop and have it''said pragya.
''No di i want food you cooked so come home soon and prepare me some food otherwise i am going to cook myself''said purab.
''Purab Arora don't you dare even think of it as i can't see my whole kitchen in a mess or burned when i come there.I will be there in 20 minutes ''said pragya as she remebered how purab made a mess in the kitchen last time when he cooked.
''Okay meri maa i will not.But come soon na''said purab .
''Yea.I will be there soon.Bye''said pragya and disconnected the call. Then she turned towards other .

''No Aarav we are going to aunty's house for dinner tonight so you will meet her soon''said Abhi and everyone except Vidyut looked at him with confusion.
''Really aunty?''asked Aarav and pragya just gave nod.

*************
Pragya parked her car once she entered the Arora guest house she rushed inside the house hoping purab will be waiting for her instead of creating a mess.But when she entered the house her face broke into a bright smile seeing her best friend sitting on the couch talking with her dad and brother.
''Sid''shouted pragya in excitement and sidarath too smiled brightly seeing his best friend.
''Prags ''said sidarath standing from the couch and pragya rushed towards him and hugged him tightly .

''Purab,sid i have finished preparing the dinner now please set the tables as i have to take a bath and get ready''asked pragya but they didn't even look from the TV screen.
''Prags please do it yourself na yaar.Can't you see how busy we are''said sidarath and pragya just walked towards the Tv and unplugged it wire from the switch board while the boy looked her in disbelief.
''Now go and arrange the table otherwise i will break this Play station with all the game DVD's now go''said pragya in a stern voice and both of them stood up from the couch with a glare.
''You are hitler sometimes di.I really hate you''said purab with a glare and left to the kitchen while she left to her room to get ready with a smile as she loved annoying these two.

Pragya stood up from her dressing table after she got ready in a black with purple saree with a making jewels and simple make up.She looked herself in the mirror once again and smiled in satisfaction.Then she walked towards the bed to take her mobile which was in charge but before she could she heard the room of her door opened and she saw Aarav standing on her door step with moist eyes and ran towards her.Pragya immediately kneeled down before him and cupping his face .

''So can i call you mama from now''asked Aarav with his big innocent eyes and pragya just nodded with a smile.
''Ofcourse champ''said pragya and the next moment Aarav hugged pragya tightly with happiness which pragya returned with a smile.
''I love you Mama''said Aarav and pragya's eye got moist when she heard Aarav calling her Mama.Its may be true that she didn't carry him in her womb ,but when he called him Mama pragya felt like a complete woman feeling the pleassure of the mother hood this small boy in her arms just gave.At this moment pragya promised to herself that she will never let anything or anyone hurt her son and to keep him always happy.
''I love you too beta. love you too''said Pragya and kissed the top of his head wiping her tears.
