Abhi sat in the backseat of his black Audi lost in his thoughts as the car moved in the heavy traffic of mumbai as Akash sat beside him.He couldn't believe its been two years since his lucky charm left him and he couldn't find her even after seaching in every corner of India.He know whatever happened its coz of him and he can't blame anyone for leaving his fuggy leaving him.After pragya left him signing the divorce papers and giving the maglasutra he tied around her neck as she didn't want to carry it or want anything with her that would remaind her of her.But Abhi still took the maglastura with him as it gave some peace to him.After pragya left nothing was same in his life as everyone started to treat him like a stranger in his own house after the truth about their marriage came out once pragya proved she is innocent in the MMS which was created by his sister and ex-girl friend.Eventhough Akash was still his PA he only kept profession relation with him as he said he can never for the guy who hurted his bhabhi who was like a sister to her in the wrost way.Even daadi stopped talking to him and let the house with Indhu daadi as she can't face the two people who tortured and hurted her bahu heartlessly.But what hurted him the most was purab too left the town with Arora family without even a good bye.For the last two years Abhi was living only with the hope that he would find his fuggy and beg her forgivness to take him back and give him another chance.He never though his life without his wife will literally a living hell when this is he wanted from the moment he married her.He still remebered the day how she just left his life and house proving her innocence giving back the manglasutra without even giving him a second look.Abhi wished he could turn back the time and undo everything he did with the only person who loved him without expceting anything from him in return and realized his feelings for her soon.But him being the dumb and moron only realized that he was love with his chasmish once she left him for good.Abhi even started to go to temple and pray everyday to the god to help him to find his chasmish as everypassing second without her is getting more diffcult for him even to breath without pragya.Its the first time he was going to attend a marriage function in the last two years as his friend forced him to come otheriwse he would never attend a marriage cermony as it always remained him of his own with pragya.Finally his car stopped infront the marriage venue and he got out the car with Akash while the drive drove the car to the parking.Just then he saw his friend Karan Aggrawal walking towards them with a smile and hugged him once he reached.
''Hey Abhi.Finally my bestie reached for my best friends wedding''said karan with a smile.
''Ofcourse i should.Otherwise i have to get a ear bleed hearing you lecture''said Abhi with a smile.
''Oh shut up Abhi''said Karan then gave a hug to Akash.
''How are you Akash?''asked Karan.
''Good karan.What about you?''asked Akash with a smile.
''Great.Okay lets go inside.Today is mehandi ceremony and i don't want to miss the fun''said karan with a smile and they walked inside the mansion.
''Karan why the marriage is happening in this mansion which is took far from the city?''asked Akash.
''Actually Akash the groom wanted this married to be simple with his and brides relatives as he is an holloywood actor and the bride is from here.So he didn't want to media to disturb him or the bride.But you know Akash the girl is really lucky coz everyone can see how much he loves the girl''said Karan with a smile.
''Well who is this holloywood guy?''asked Abhi .
''Arrey its Ian Somerhalder the guy who plays Damon in Vampire diaries''said Karan and Abhi nodded.
''Yea i have seen his pictures in magazines.So who is this bride?''asked Abhi.
''Well see her for yourself there she is''said karan pointing a direction and Abhi turned to look at the bride only to froze in his place seeing his pragya sitting in the middle of the girls applying mehandi to her slim hand as she was laughing to something Bulbul said and realized the bride was none other than pragya herself.He couldn't believe that after 2 whole years of searching he finally found his chasmish,but only to know she was about to get married to another guy.Abhi didn't know whether to be happy for finding pragya finally or to be sad seeing her happy when she was going to get married to another man.But he was bought out of his thoughts when he felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned only to see his best friend standing there with a glare.
''What are you doing here Abhi?''asked purab and Abhi could hearing the anger in his voice.
''Purab what is all this?''asked Abhi and purab rolled his eyes hearing the anger in Abhi's voice.
''Not here lets talk alone''said purab and then he noticed Akash who was looking pragya with a moist eyes.
''Akash you can talk with her if you want.she still loves you as her own brother''said purab with a smile to Akash.If purab still loved anyone from the Arora family it would be Akash as he is the only one who trusted and helped pragya in the MMS drama to prove her innocence.
''Thank you purab''said Akash and left to talk with pragya while purab dragged Abhi to his room and locked it as he didn't want any drama or pain in his di any more.Once purab left his hand inside the room Abhi looked purab with anger.
''Purab what the hell is happening here?How could my chasmish marry another guy and how you all are okay with it?''asked Abhi and purab looked him in disbelief.
''Abhi do you really think you have the right to get ask any question regrading di's life or get angry after what all you done to her.And she is not your's anymore as you gave her the divorce cozyou wanted to married to a who*e like Tanu.Now she didn't belong to you Abhi or you didn't have any hold aganist her anymore so don't even think of calling my di yours coz you never deserve her and she deserves better than you''said purab with anger.
''Purab i know whatever i did was a mistake and i must have trusted pragya when it comes to her character,but i was fool that time and regret what i did till this moment.But i will not let her go again purab and i will make her forgive me and take her back to the mehra mansion and none is going to stop me''said Abhi and purab just gave him a bitter smile.
''Abhi you didn't know how much di changed in these 2 years and i am sure what you are saying will happen.But Abhi i will be haapy if she decided to get back to you,coz her happiness is important for us more than anything.But let me tell you the love she had for you died the moment when you raised a finger on her character,so she may forgive you but she will never take you back as she is in love with Ian and will never hurt him by leaving him for you.so do whatever you want Abhi but please don't anything to show her down infront of others as you already hurted a lot''said purab and left the room leaving a fuming Abhi behind.Abhi know he did a great mistake by hurting pragya a lot but finally when he found her after searching her like mad man for the last 2 years Abhi is not going to let her slip through her fingers again and decided to get his chasmish back at anycost.

Pragya who was sitting inbetween the girls was laughing after bulbul told a joke and looked at the mehandi which was being applied on her hands.Seeing Ian's name on the left hand ring finger bought a smile on her lips and she wished he would be here with her now not in london.Though he left just bfore 3 days after the haldi cermony pragya was already missing him like hell .Though she was the one who compelled him to go as it was necessary for him to attend the meeting,she can't help but feel little upset as she wanted him here to find his name on her hand inbetween the mehandi designs.Pragya never thought she will love someone more than herself before 2 years when he left India with her family and decided to settle in abroad.But after meeting Ian in ISF when she went to take care of the dogs they became great friends soon nad their friendship turned into this beautiful relation called love.When they first met Ian was too hurt coz of his breakup with Nina and she was too broken and lost all faith and hope in love coz what happened between her and Abhi eventhough the love she had for him died the moment he raised his finger on her character.But seeing Ian so hurt and trying to hide his pain behind his fake smile pragya decided to help him by mending his wound as she know how much its will hurt when the person whom you love the most breaks your heart and trust.Then after 8 months Ian out of blue said he was in love with her and asked her on a date on her birthday and she didn't even know how to react to this news.Though she wanted to make him clear she can nerver think of loving anyone romantically again the hope she saw in his oceanic blue eyes melted her heart and she said said yes to only one date.But the dates continued from one to many and finally after 3 months Ian made her fell in loe again and showed her how it would feel to be loved.Ian know everything about her past and never asked anything about it again as he know how much she was hurt by her past.He never let her feel less important and made clear she will be always her first priority.He always made sure they both spend enough time with each other even when he was hell busy with his shooting,ISF and his bussiness and this made pragya to fell in love with him more and more everyday.Pragya never believed in fairy tales as she tought they was no happy ending in her life,but after feeling Ian's love pragya know she was already living in a fairy tale and he is her prince charming.Even her whole family started to love Ian seeing how much he loves her and how good hearted guy he is.Then he finally proposed her for their wedding last monthand pragya though she was dreaming but said yes as she know he was her perfect guy and they got officially enagaged when he sliped the platinum with diamonf ring on her finger.But when she found last week that both of them are going to get married first in her tradition in India before the the wedding in America pragya just hugged him tight as tears of joy dropped from her eyes while Ian just hugged her closer placing a kiss on her forehead.Then they landed on India before 5 days and started to wedding prepartion while Ian was hell bend on learing the meaning of all cermony.she just wished nothing should happen to destroy her happiness and prayed the god everyday to keep her Ian happy and healthy as she can't see him in pain.Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder which broke her thought and she looked up only to see Akash standing there with a teary smile and pragya was shocked but smiled warmly seeing her brother.
''Akash how are you?''asked pragya with a smile .
''I am good di.How are you?''asked Akash sitting beside pragya as Bulbul stood up with a smile.
''I am great Akash.''said pragya with a smile.But the next moment Akash hugged pragya shocking her but after few seconds she smiled.

''I missed you too Akash.But as much as i want to hug my brother back i can't as my mehandi is still wet''said pragya causing other to laugh and Akash too smiled and broke the hug wiping his tears.
''So what are you doing here?''asked pragya with confusion.
''Woh di a friend of bhai invited us to this marriage so i am here with Abhi bhai''said Akash with hestation.Hearing Abhi's name would have hurted her before 1 1/2 years but now its didn't make any difference as he didn't have any effect on her.

''Okay di.Come with me Akash''said Bulbul and left with Akash to the guest room.Once Akash left pragya closed her eyes hoping Abhi will not cause any drama here as she can never see Ian getting embarrassed and that too coz of her.
After 30 minutes pragya entered the living room wiping her wet hand after washing the mehandi once it got dried and she was happy seeing the blood red color of the mehandi.But as she looked at the door once she dropped her hand she stood in shock not expecting to see the person standing near the door with a tired smile looking her and her shock turned into happiness in few seconds realizing he was really here and ran towards him as fast as he legs could carry and hugged him tightly wrapping her hands on his back and felt the familiar arms hugging her back .
''I missed you Ian''said pragya resting her head on his chest not caring that everyone was present in the living room.
''I too missed you my Leeora''said Ian burying his face in her hair and pragya smiled at his nick name for her and both of them stayed in each others embrace for few seconds.
''We too missed you Jiju''said Bulbul and Purvi in chrous and pragya broke the hug blushing slightly while Ian just smiled at his lovely sister in laws and hugged both of them with a smile.

''Okay then Jiju lets go and find your name on her hand ''said puravi and they left to sit on the couch to find Ian name on pragya's hand unaware of the person who was burning in jealously seeing the women he loves in the arms of another man.
Once they reached the couch Pragya said beside Ian and he took her soft hand in his and started to search for his name and after few minutes he smiled in victory and carssed his name on her leg hand ring finger.

**************
Pragya was sitting on the bed with Ian resting his hand on her lap as she was giving him a head massage for his headache after the dinner.She didn't know how to tell him that Abhi too came to attend their wedding as she was worried about his reaction as she know how much Ian hates Abhi for hurting her.But she know keeping this from Ian will not end well as he know he will not think once before hurting him if he saw Abhi accidentally.
''Ian''called pragya in a soft voice.
''Hmmm''came Ian's replay who was closing his eyes with a soft smile on his lips.
''How was the meeting?''asked pragya and Ian opened his eyes and looked at her.
''Leeora i know this is not what you want to ask me.So tell me what's bothering you?''asked Ian with understanding.
''Ian Abhi too came with Akash to attend out wedding''said pragya and Ian immediatley got up and sat on the bed beside her and cupped her face with one hand and took her hand in his another.
''Did he said anything to hurt you?''asked Ian with concern and pragya kept her on his which was on her cheek and gave him a small smile.
''I didn't even see him till now Ian.I just want you to know he is here and promise me you will controlyour anger around him as i don't want any drama in our wedding''said pragya and Ian looked pissed.
''How can you even ask me this when i know how much he hurted you pragya.He literally broke your soul with your heart and here you are asking me not to get angry on him''said Ian and pragya know he was very anger as he only calls her by her name when he was angry or serious and she also know this anger is not coz of her but coz of Abhi.pragya then cupped Ian's face with her free hand and she can see his anger melting on her touch.
''Ian i know how much you hate him ,even i hate Abhi for whatever he did.But he is here as a guest and he had no idea that i am the bride till he reached,so i want my guests to be treated with respect .But i am not asking you to respect him as i know you can't,i am just asking you to treate him like you would treat a stranger Ian.He may hurted me a lot ,but he still helped my family a lot in the past so please do this for me.Please?''asked pragya and Ian just closed his eyes in defeat.
''Okay i will behave.But if i saw him troubling you i will not keep my promise Leeora ''said Ian and pragya smiled at him.
''Thanks a lot Ian''said pragya and placed a soft kiss on his cheek which made him smile.
''Well a french kiss will be better Thank you than this''said Ian with a teasing smile and pragya slapped him playfully on his shoulder.
''Don't even this about it before the wedding Mister.so how was your headache now''asked pragya with concern.
''Much better after your magical massage.''said Ian with a smile.
''Okay now get some sleep coz you need it after the travel''said pragya with a smile which held concern for him.
''Yep i was hell tired.Even you need your sleep so go and sleep well''said Ian and placed a kiss on her forehead.Then pragya got up from the bed.
''Good night Ian''said pragya with a smile.
''Good night my Leeora''said Ian with a smile and pragya started to leave the room.But as she was about to walk past the door a very familiar hand caught her wrist and the next moment she felt herself in the arms of her fiance and hugged him back with a smile.

***********
Abhi was walking from one end of the room to another with rage,jealous,pain coursing through his vein after seeing HIS Fuggy with Ian.He can't believe pragya didn't even try to see him as he was sure she know he is here after taking with Akash.But what hurted him the most was pragya was really happy with Ian and even in love with him.Even though he want to deny that pragya didn't love Ian Abhi know even a blind person can understand how much they love each other.But Abhi is not letting her go just coz this as he know she loves Abhi too,so he decided to talk with pragya alone.He looked at the time at decided to go and talk to pragya knowing everyone will be asleep by now.Then he left the room to pragya's room to see her.After few minutes he stood infront of pragya's room and knocked on the closed door taking a deep breath.
''Come in''came the replay in a familiar voice and Abhi entered the room closing the door behind him and saw pragya who removed her jewelleries and placed on the dressing table.Then she turned and she looked shocked for few seconds but she then composed herself .
''What are you doing here Mr.Mehra?''asked pragya in an emotionaless voice.
''Pragya how are you?''asked Abhi though his heart stung when he heard her call him Mr.Mehra.
''Fine Mr.Mehra'' said pragya .
''Pragya who are you talking like i am a stranger?''asked Abhi.
''Then how you expcet to talk with you coz we are nothing bur strangers Mr.Mehra''said pragya and Abhi had enough.
''Pragya please i know i hurted you a lot and still you are anger and hurt over coz it and you have every right to.But i here to ask your forgivness pragya and i want you back in my life as my wife and to seek your forgiveness i will do anything pragya.So punish me as much as you want but then please forgive me and take me back''said Abhi.
''Really Mr.Mehra after everything you did and said you think i will forgive you?Okay just give me one reason i must forgive you and moreover why my forgiveness is so important to you?''asked pragya folding her hands on her chest.
''Coz i love you Pragya i am in love with you for the past two years.I realized my love for you only after you left me.so please pragya just give me a second chance to prove that i love you''said Abhi and hearing this pragya started to laught loudly and Abhi looked at her in confusion.After few minutes she composed herself .
''Sorry i really can't control myself.What did you just say?you are in love with me?God Abhishekh i can't believe this is really happening.You tought i will forgive you and take you back just coz you are in love with me now?''asked pragya with a humorless smile.
''Yes pragya this is also one of the reason i want your forgiveness coz i can't live without you anymore and i know you too still love me so please give me a chance''asked Abhi and for the first time he saw a emotion on her face which was extreme anger.
''You said i still love you Mr.Mehra.In fact i hate even hearing your name for the last two years.you really had the guts to think that i will still love you after what you did?''asked pragya with anger.
''I will forgive you Abhishekh and even take you back if you anwer for my 3 three question.can you?''asked pragya and Abhi gave a nod.
''Okay then here is my first question.''If i married you to take revenge for something you never did,then went to my boyfriends flat on our wedding night to hook up with him and took him to our honeymoon,then tortured me with my brother and boyfriend,continued to have affair get cozy with my boyfriend around you,then continued to accuse you even when i find out you are the person whom i thought you was.could you fell in love with me?''asked pragya and Abhi felt like she slapped him and he kept quiet knowing his answer will be a stright no.Seeing his silence pragya just gave him a bitter smile.
''See your silence is the answer coz you would have never loved me if i did whatever you did with me.But still i fell in love with you and ready to do anything for your happiness coz i respected the real Abhishekh who loved his family unconditionally.But you killed that respect when you dared to raise you finger on my character''said pragya with hate.
''Then my second question:''Then even if you fell in love with me after i done all this to you would you even wanted to see my face if i raised a finger on your character infront of everyone and will forgive me if asked your forgiveness?''asked pragya and Abhi stayed quiet knowing he can never answer her question like she wants.
''See you can't.Then how the hell you expect me to forgive you when you out of all people accussed me of having an illegal affairs when you continued to warm Tanu's bed even after our marriage.Did you even have any idea what i went through in those 24 hours you gave me to prove innocence Abhishekh.I felt like someone is pouring acid on me coz of the words left your mouth.''said pragya as a lone tear rolled down her cheeks but she wiped it the next moment.
''Pragya..''started Abhi but pragya just shook her head negatively.
''No Abhishekh don't speak anything till you answer my next question.Well if you say yes to this question i will firgive you and even marry you again tomorrow.My Last question:If Aaliya was in my place would you forgave her husband and let her live with him or aceept him again ?''asked pragya and Abhi felt like someone punched him on his chest.
''No''said Abhi in a low voice.
''I knew it .Then how could you even think i will forgive you Abhishekh.Just coz i don't have a heartless rockstar elder brother who will destroy anyone's life for my selfish happiness doesn't mean i have to be the selfless girl always.And you expect that i will leave a guy like Ian who literally treats me like a princess and never even spoke to me harshly for you who literally labelled me as a sl*t?''asked Pragya and Abhi closed his eyes in pain and regret as her words literally tearing his heart.
''Just leave me alone Abhishekh.I never wanted to see you again after the day i left but its good that i saw you today coz i asked all the question i wanted to say you for so long.I can never forgive forget what you did coz i am the kind of girl who never allowed anyone to speak low of me and considered my self respect more than my own life.But after i married you i became a shadow of myself and kept quiet and took all the insult from you and your so called sister and girlfriend and i will never become that girl again.So now leave before i say something i will regret''said Pragya pointing the door and she started to walk to the washroom.But Abhi was still not ready to give up and moved towards her and caught her shoulder to stop her.But at the last moment he lost the balance and he pulled the dori of the leghna top undying it accidently and both of them landed on the bed with Abhi on the top and pragya under him.But before they could react they heard the door open and pragya eyes widen as she saw Ian standing there with anger in his eyes looking her and Abhi with a glare .
