CHAPTER :2
''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 bofore 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 .
**************
Pragya didn't even know how to react seeing Ian standing on there when she was in a very inapporproate position with Abhi.Though Pragya know Ian will never doubt her or come to conclusion about something before asking her,she could help but remember how Abhi believed that she was cheating on him seeing her ans suresh in the same position.Then the next moment she pushed Abhi and rushed towards Ian holding his shoulder.
''Ian its not what it looks like okay.I will explained what happe...'''started pragya to explain Ian exactly what happened.But Ian just raised his hand saying her to keep quiet.
''I don't need any explanation Pragya coz i trust you and i know you will never do something to hurt me.so there is no need of any explanations ''said Ian in a soft voice and pragya just nodded her head in relief.Then Ian moved towards the couch on the room and took a scarf and wrapped it around her shoulder covering her exposed back coz of the opened dori and pulled her into his chest.Then he looked at Abhi with a glare which fisting his hand.
''And you leave this room this instant before i do something that will make me to break the promise i did to my pragya.Leave Mr.Mehra''said Ian in anger and Abhi left the room without any choice.Once Abhi left pragya hugged Ian tightly which he returned pulling her into his chest more tightly.But after few seconds when Ian felt her tears making his T-Shirt wet,he broke the hug and wiped her tears cupping her face and placed a kiss on her forehead.
''No more tears.You know how much its hurt me when i see tears in my Leeora's eyes.Now first change into something comfortable,i will be here when you come back''said Ian and pragya left to the washroom taking her night dress while Ian sat on the bed closed his eyes and pressing his temples to cool down his anger.Ian know pragya will never even think of cheating on him as she was the type of girl to whom her tradition and purity more important than her life.So when he saw his soon to be wife under the man who hurted her a lot in the past Ian just wanted to kill that guy in the most painfull way,but he controlled his anger remembering the promise he made to his Leeora.Just then he heard the bathroom door open with a click and looked at pragya who was coming out of the bathroom in a White T-shirt and blue loose pant as her waist length hair pulled into a loose ponytail walking towards him.Once she came near the bed Ian stood up and made her lay down on the bed covering her with a blanket.
''Now sleep wothout any worry as i want my bride to be glowing on our wedding tomorrow''said Ian with a smile and was about to leave but pragya stopped his by holding his wrist.
''Stay''said pragya and Ian just nodded and got under the covers beside her pulling her slim figure into his atrong arms and covered them with the duvet and placed a kiss on her head.
''Now sleep''said Ian turning th lights off and pragya closed her eyes feeling peace in his arms and drifted into a peaceful sleep follwed by Ian.
************
The next morning pragya was sitting infront of the dressing table as Bulbul,puravi and sarla was getting her for the wedding which is going to start in few minutes.After few moments Bulbul finished the touch up and smiled with satiafaction.
''Di you are looking like a princess and i am sure jiju will be jaw droped ''said Bulbul with a teasing smile.
''Chup kar''said Pragya with a blush.
''Arrey di if you are blushing like this just for what Bulbul said what you will do when Jiju is going to do more than teasing?''asked Purvi and pragya stood up from the chair and slapped her cheeks playfully.
''Chup kar tum dono and stop teasing my daughter''said sarla with a smile and then looked at pragya who was looking like an angel and she got emotional and hugged pragya with a smile and tears in her eyes.
''I am so happy for you beta.''said sarla and pragya too hugged her back with a smile.While Bulbul and purvi smiled seeing them,then after few minutes pragya broke the hug and wiped sarla tears.
''Nehi maa.No more tears.From now there will be only happiness in our lives''said pragya and everyone nodded.Just then purab entered the room and smiled at everyone.
''Di pandit ji is calling you''said purab and pragya nodded.
''Lets go beta''said Sarla and everyone left to the mandap.
Here Ian was sitting infront of the holy fire waiting for his bride with excitement.Just then he saw his beautiful Leeora coming down the stairs with Bulbul,purvi by her side followed by purab and sarla and he sat there stunned seeing his fiance who was looking like an angel in her indian wedding dress.As pragya came and sat beside her Bulbul and purvi saw Ian's shocked state and giggled to themselves.
''Jiju please stop looking at my di without blinking and do the ritual afterall from now you can see her 24/7 if you want''said Bulbul and everyone laughed at this while Ian blushed lightly with a smile with pragya.Then the ritual and the panditji asked Ian to tie the maglasutra around her neck . Ian took the manglasutra and looked at pragya who gave him smile and he tied it around her neck.Then he took the kumkum on the coin and applied it on her kumkum as pragya closed her eyes in happiness,content as a tear rolled down her cheek.But the next moment she felt his husband's hand wiping her tears and she looked at Ian who was looking her with a smile and smiled back.
''From this moment you will have only happy tears like this.Its my promise''said Ian with a smile and pragya gave him a nod knowing he will keep his promise at anycost.
Here in a corner of the mandap Abhi saw all this and let the tears of regret and pain follow.He know he would have done something to stop the marriage,but after seeing the trust Ian hand on Pragya Abhi understood why pragya felt in love with Ian so soon after leaving India.Because Ian had something he never did.Trust.Trust on Pragya.Yesternight when he saw Ian walking on them Abhi was too worried as he didn't want pragya go through the same pain she went through coz of him again.But when he saw how Ian didn't even ask any explanation and trusted pragya,he know he lost her to this man who just made pragya his a long time back and now he has to life his remaining life just with the regert of letting her go.
*************
Pragya was standing near the car which is going to take them to the lake house for the wedding night and was talking with Akash with Ian beside her .
''Di please call me atleast once a week and i will come and visit you all when i get free''said Akash.
''Okay Akash i will call you.Take care of yourself and you can call me or Ian if you need any help''said Pragya
''Sure di.Take care of yourself too''said Akash with concern.
''I will Akash''said Pragya with an assuring smile.Then Akash turned towards Ian.
''And you take good care of her if you didn't i will hunt you down''said Akash and Ian smiled seeing his friendly thread.
''I will Akash don't worry i can never even think of hurting my Leeora''said Ian with a smile.
''Ian why are you keep calling di as Leeora?What does it mean?''asked Akash with confusion.Hearing this Ian got a smile and looked at pragya who was smiling to herslef.
''Well Leeora mean Sunshine in Latin-America Akash.I call her Leeora coz she entered my life like a sunshine when i was hurting in dark.''said Ian with a smile.
''Wow Di you really got a romantic husband nice choice di''said Akash with a teasing smile and pragya blushed a little.
''Shut up Akash.''said pragya and Akash laughed with Ian seeing her blush.

''So what let him see afterall you are wife and i can do anything with my wife''said Ian in the same low voice as Pragya.
''Ian atleast have a little shame and keep your hands of me till we reach the lake house''said Pragya with a small glare and Ian pouted.
''Okay i will ''said Ian with a cute pout and pragya smiled seeing his antics and kissing him back on his cheeks which made Ian smile.
''I love you Ian''said Pragya resting her head on his shoulder and he pulled her more closer not even leaving an inch gape between them.
''I love you too Leeora and always will''said Ian and rested his head on hers and pragya smiled with happiness and closed her eyes knowing he will keep his words till their last breath.
***************
Abhi was sitting in the backseat of the car as they are returning to Mehra masion closing his eyes.He recalled all the moments he spend with pragya for the last time as he know he didn't have the right to even think about her anymore as she belongs to another man now.But he was happy to know she was good hands though the pain was killing him slowly.But he know he is the only reason for the pain he is going through.Abhi though oneday he may heal the wounds he caused pragya when he realized the mistakes he did to her.But now he know when he realized it was too late as someone already healed the wounds and he woull have never healed it even if it was still unhealed coz some wound never heal and he know the wounds he caused pragya is one of them .He just wished pragya will be happy from now and will always pray for her happiness and well being ,coz its the least he could do for destroying her happiness once.Though he regret it now he know its his punishment for hurting a pure soul like pragya and the punishment is to live only with this regret and pain till his last breath.
**THE END**
With Love,
Scarlett.
