Car
After complete silence for nearly thirty minutes Pragya couldn't keep her mouth shut any longer.
Pragya:You know what Sir,I can't really believe that you are dadi's grandson both of you are extremely different characters.Dadi is open-minded,cheerful and fun loving person,if she was with us right now we wouldn't even realize the passing of time,but Sir you're arrogant,short tempered,serious and boring in nature and there is no fun in being with you.
Abhi gives her an angry glare.On seeing his face Pragya bursts out laughing.
Abhi:What are you laughing about Miss.Arora?
Pragya:(Wipe her eyes)You are so cute when you're angry, sorry Sir for teasing you I couldn't help myself complete silence was irritating me. Abhi:You deserve a award Miss.Arora.
Pragya:Award why?
Abhi:Being silent for thirty minutes is a great achievement on your behalf.
Pragya:I am not that talkative,I can remain silent when ever necessary. Abhi:Yes its just that you are chirping like a cricket most of the time. Pragya's face turns red with embarrassment,seeing her face Abhi started laughing.
Abhi:Tit for tat Miss.Arora.
In spite of herself a small smile crept on her face seeing his infectious laughter.Though he liked silence very much for some unknown reason he didn't like seeing Pragya so silent and thoughtful,so he decides to break the silence himself. Abhi:What are you thinking?
Pragya:Ever since Bulbul came to stay with us so many things has happened in our life,but I never thought my life will change so drastically that I will end up here today.
Abhi:Isn't Bulbul your sister? Pragya:Actually Bulbul is my mom's sisters daughter,her parents died in an accident five years ago since then she has been living with.But for me she is like my own sister.
Abhi:I am sorry Miss.Arora.
Pragya:Its alright Sir. Abhi:Seeing both of you together no one will ever doubt that you're not sisters.If someone else has told me this I would have punished them for lying to me.You both are like hurricane where ever you go you wreck the place.
Pragya smiles. Abhi:What about your real sister,what is she doing now? Pragya:Purvi di has married four years ago and is living in Delhi right now.
On seeing her smile fading from her face he quickly changes the topic. Abhi:By the way what do you think about this presentation? Pragya:Truth is that I can't really believe that I am going to Agra for my first presentation you know what the first time I went to Agra was to participate in a fashion competition and now I am going to the same place for my presentation its so wonderful. Abhi:How was your competition??Did you win? Pragya:Yes I won the competition,at that tim Bulbul was also there with me it was such a fun and in those days Bulbul used to smile and talk nonstop not like the present days she has become so serious and talks less these days. Abhi:You are talking about Bulbul right,I can't believe that she has become quite these days she was talking nonstop when she came to see dadi.
He stops talking when he sees that her eyes filled with such a pain and sadness.He was about to ask her what is wrong when she quickly hides her expression and smiles at him. Pragya:You know what Bulbul and her team mates are going to perform the opening dance for the new dance show which is launched in TV this Monday,I really wanted to see her performance you know. Abhi:(Since he realizes that she is changing the subject deliberately,he decides not to pry into her personal matter)So your sister is a dancer? Pragya:Yes she has been working in freelance dancing studio for about a week now.
Abhi:Don't worry Miss.Arora I am sure your sister will show you the recordings of her performance.
Pragya:I hope so.Her childhood dream is coming true I
Ringing of her cell phone interrupts rest of her sentence, seeing the caller ID a brilliant smile appears in her face.
Pragaya:Why are you calling me now(in an angry tone) Abhi:(In his mind)Why is she getting angry now when she was so happy on seeing the call,this girl is confusing me so much. Pragya:You have been avoiding my call for nearly a month,now why are you calling me Shan,did you dial the wrong number by mistake or have you finally remembered your friend? Shan:I am really sorry Doll,I have been busy these days that is why I didn't call you.

Shan:Wow that is a great news.Who else is going with you? Pragya:Me,my boss and two others are coming in the truck behind us. Shan:You have not told me anything about your boss is he a nice guy?Does he treat you well?Is he handsome? Pragya:Yes he is handsome,he is a complicated guy.I don't understand it myself whether I should categories him as a kind or an arrogant person.It is difficult to understand him ya,he is arrogant and short tempered sometimes,but sometime he is really kind,caring and understanding guy.Now you tell me what do you think of him. Shan:I think he is a nice guy,but what happened to you, you're praising him so much,what is happening uh,alone with a handsome hunk uh. Pragya:Stop it ya don't you start behaving like Bulbul. Shan:Ok doll I won't tease you.All the best dear do your best.Don't forget to call me after the presentation ok. Pragya:Ok Shan.Bye,take care.
Shan:Bye dear.
On seeing Pragya smiling so much
Abhi:(In his mind)Who is this Shan?Is he her boy friend?If he is her boy friend then why was she talking about some strange guy with him?Who is this strange guy?Why am I thinking about all this?A person will go mad trying to understand this girl. Hotel York Inn

Mean while a hotel boy approaches Purab and informs him that the person standing opposite side of the pool want to talk

Purab:Pari sit here ok(placing her on the pool side chair) and don't go anywhere papa will be back soon.
Ayana was getting bored by sitting alone by the pool side so she goes to play with the water till her dad comes.
She bends down to reach the water with her little hand. In her eagerness to play with water,she has leaned over bit too much as a result was about to fall in the water when Bulbul scoops her up and moves away from the pool.Hearing Bulbul's shout Purab turns in time to see Bulbul scooping Ayana in her hand.Purab excuse himself and rushes over to Ayana's side.
