Aww the sadness of Abhigya and Aliya was described nicely! So emotional! I think her name is diljeet (don't know how to spell it) I hope there is more to this!

Great story! I'm glad I read it. I loved that you mentioned Aliya is feeling sad because Dadi was the only female presence in her life. And Tanu is as selfish as ever! 😡 But that Abhigya scene at the end was the best.

I loved the line when Abhi asks her how she can ask him to eat if she hasn't eaten. And then the moment when their noses touch. So emotional and cute at the same time!

First off Dhinglu (Diahh) thank you for bringing this to my attention...

Jabeen what a beautiful start! Love it...dealing with dadis death... I love how you've portrayed aliyah...atleast she cares about dadi! And abhi and pragya...ohh the feels!

Please update really soon!

"You hurt my feelings, but you were a good child."

"You toyed with our emotions, but you were a good child."

"Aaliyah, meri bacchii. Be good. I forgive you"

Normally just before people pass away, they fear death. They fear their actions. They repent for their sins and worry for their after life. Aaliyah had cradled her in her hands, her dadi's face in her hands. She had stayed with her. She had wiped the lone tear and watched her pass. And she had never felt the amount of sheer pain, sheer sadness in her own entire life. Dadi had called her a good child. She had loved her. She was her bacchii. And the idea that she was gone scared her. Dadi knew everything, she had told her everything. Aaliyah told dadi she hated Bulbul, Aaliyah told dadi she hated Purab. Aaliyah told dadi she was scared of being alone.

Abhi unlocked his phone and stared at his notifications. 14 missed calls and 3 texts.. all from Tanu. He had thought a lot about his relationship with Tanu. Tanu was hot. Being Aaliyah's friend, she was always there. She was a model. The perfect kind-off girl a rockstar would have. But she wasn't Pragya. Abhi had never considered Pragya as ugly. She was just different. And different isn't bad. It's just different. Well, yes Pragya had her big chashma. She had her umbrella styled anarkali's. Always different colours. And her orange anarkali. Abhi really liked this one. I mean, it's so bright. Perfect combo for him and her. But whenever she wore it, something bad would happen. Abhi wasn't really into superstitions but it was true. There was always the misunderstandings, the confusion, the words. Most importantly: She was always there. Not always there like Tanu was always there, Pragya was always actually there. Everything he did, good or bad, Pragya would support. If he did something good, she would praise him. If he did something bad, she would tell him. It almost became some kind of ritual, whenever he did something good, she would reward him with a smile. And well.. Pragya understood. She understood about dadi. She knew.. she knew how to help. She was there.. not like Tanu was there.. Pragya was there. She knew.. she understood.

Is this why Dadi chose her? Because she knows.. How to be with me?

Pragya stood outside the bedroom door tentatively. She had already been waiting for about five minutes, she just didn't know how. She didn't know what to do. Pragya and Aaliyah had never really seen eye to eye. I mean, recently Aaliyah was not exactly behaving indifferently towards her. She was calm. She was distraught, the pain was eating her up inside. Pragya could see it. Pragya could see the slight awkwardness between Abhi and Aaliyah.Of course it would be there, it would exist. Purab and Bulbul's marriage had taken place after all while Aaliyah's attempts had all gone to vain. The worst thing Pragya seemed to remember was Abhi. He looked so pained, so confused. What Aaliyah had done. It had destroyed him. But he knew now, she was trying to be good. She was trying so hard. Pragya knew too, afterall it was written all over her face.

"Bhabhi. I know you're out there, you can come in.. If you want." She had said this so quietly. As if she was scared, scared Pragya would turn her back and walk away. Pragya entered and shuffled slightly, she didn't know what to say. She just looked at her and Aaliyah bit her lip.

"Bhabhi, you, I. I don't know what you think. I won't. I won't justify what I did. I just"

"You were scared." Aaliyah looked up at Pragya with surprise.

"You wanted Bulbul out of the way because you wanted Purab." Pragya rushed towards Aaliyah and seated her on the bed. Aaliyah gasped and started inhaling slowly. Gradually, she placed her head on Pragya's lap. Pragya placed her hand on Aaliyah's hair and started stroking it. She felt so soft, like a babies bottom.

"Aaliyah, You have done some things which have hurt a lot of people. I know you feel very guilty. I can see it in your eyes. I see it when you can't even look at.. him. But he loves you Aaliyah." Pragya cupped Aaliyah's face delicately. "We all love you Aaliyah. We want what's best for you."

"Bhabhi.. how?" she choked. "I have always been so mean to you. Said the most horrible things and done so much bad towards you. Why are you being so nice?"

"Because I forgive you Aaliyah. I forgive you."
