Hi Guys! Here is Chapter 8 for you!!
Hope you enjoy!
As she sat there with him, waiting for their turn, she was feeling extremely jittery. She kept twisting the end of her dupatta as she looked around. Abhi was noticing her from the corner of his eyes, she was nervous to say the least, he wanted to comfort her, but was cautious of the small group of people peering at this man sporting a vandana and shades in a registrar's office - they kept giving him disapproving looks, and Abhi didn't want to attract attention to who he really was, below his disguise. He turned his attention back to Pragya and lightly touched her hand - she looked up and he nodded reassuringly.
He wondered why he didn't feel the slightest of nervousness - he was getting married too! But well, somewhere deep down he knew that daadi would only be happy to have her Pragya back - but Pragya's family? There was a lot of trouble coming up for them from them.
"Eh, Fuggy! Smile nah, why do you look like I am forcing you to marry me? You can still tell me you know, I could arrange for Harmeet to..."
"Shut up Abhi!"she retorted annoyed, and Abhi laughed. But she stil looked troubled.
"Fuggy, do you want to go ahead with this? I don't want you to do this under any sense of compulsion you know?" he told her gravely after noticing humour wasn't helping her calm down. He could feel Purab and Bulbul's posture stiffen beside him - they all knew how necessary this wedding was right now, and if Pragya backed out today, there was a long and unsure way to follow for their relationship.
"Di, answer him nah di, tell him you want to marry him..he is your husband anyway, does a silly signature on a divorce sheet get to decide if you are together or not?" Bulbul encouraged her.
"Thanks Bulbul, but I request you to not guide her, I want Fuggy to take her time and decide, and I will be with her no matter we walk out from here today as man and wife or two lovers" spoke Abhi.
Upon hearing this, Pragya looked at his eyes deeply, he could see that she had come to a decision. But before she could say anything, the assistant from the registrar's office came to them - it was their turn now. Abhi ignored the call and looked at Pragya with all his love.
Pragya smiled at him and got up, "That's our turn now Abhi, come let's get married" she said and walked to the office, leaving a surprised trio behind as they followed.

[How fast does time fly fuggy, how is it night? I miss you. Come here]
[ I was with you all day rockstar, now let me sleep]
[SLEEP? Today is our suhag raat and you want to sleep? :@ ]
[Well considering you are in your house and I am in mine, what options do we have? PS - There is renovation work going on in our terrace, don't even think about it]
[Hmm..okay let me kidnap you and bring you to my house, then it's time for s*x ;) ]
[Shut Up! You've got to wait for that, now sleep]
[Okay let me call you? Phone s*x :D]
[Sheesh Abhi!! Grow up!!]
[What? Okay text s*x atleast? L ]
[Sleep. Goodnight]
[ Fuggy - :@ Me - L ]
Pragya laughed at his last text and went off to sleep with a broad smile playing up her lips. Now she was re-energized for tomorrow - to meet Harmeet and REJECT him.
****
Abhi rolled on the bed and decided to call it a night - he was going to tease Pragya for the rest of their life, of how boring a suhag raat she had given him. With a smirk on his face he dozed off. Tomorrow was going to be one hell of a drama when Pragya rejected that monkey, he was planning on being around - whatever, she was his wife after all - even legally now (again) he smiled.
