OS - I Trust You
Abhi walked out to the balcony where Pragya was already standing staring out at the night's sky. He heard her whimpers and understood she was clearly crying making him certain that she was still the same Pragya inside. He walked over to her and gently put his hand on her shoulder making her jump. She wiped her tear and tried to move away but he then placed his hand on her waist and pulled her towards him.
"Mr Abhi Mehra, I think you are crossing your limits, let me-"
"Shhh" Abhi hushed her with his finger. "I know you don't want me to let you go, now tell me" He made her turn around. "Tell me what this is?"
Pragya moved his finger away from her lips. "This Mr. Abhi Mehra is the real me" She looked back up at him and he laughed moving away before pulling her towards him again.
"Fuggy, then why these tears?" He gently wiped the tear that was on her cheek, why is this hurting you so? Why does it affect you when I hold you?" Abhi tightened his grip on her waist.
"It doesn't affect me Mr. Abhi Mehra" Pragya spoke through gritted teeth and pushed him away.
But Abhi didn't give up easily and held her gently making her sit down before taking a seat next to her.
"Okay, can I test you then?" He asked.
"Go ahead, but I'm telling you now you won't get anywhere" said Pragya.
"That we will soon find out" Abhi looked her in the eyes before continuing.
"Do you love me?" Abhi asked.
"No" She looked away but he made her look at him.
"All you want is money?"
"Yes"
"You don't care about our families?"
"No"
Abhi sighed and paused.
Pragya could feel the tears in her eyes but she controlled herself. She couldn't show him how much it was hurting to say all this.
"So you wouldn't care if I ended my life right-"
"Stop it, please don't say that" Pragya instantly put her hand over his mouth letting a lone tear escape from her eye.
Abhi looked at her longingly, this was it. He had his answer.
"Then why were you lying?" Abhi asked making Pragya jump back to reality.
"Just leave, please" Pragya whispered.
"How can I leave fuggy how? These twenty days have been no less than a year, each day has been torture for me, I kept on seeing you everywhere, I couldn't sleep, eat, do anything. And you? You didn't even phone me? How could you fuggy how could you? And then after all this time you came back and I felt like I had found my life again, a reason to smile but now look. You're doing this drama? Why? I need to know fuggy, I need to know!" Abhi said cupping her face in his hands.
"Because... because..." Pragya sighed. Why was this so difficult? "Because I love you"
"You love me so you're hurting me? You're not sharing anything with me? Fuggy what is this?"
Pragya could not control herself any longer and burst into sobs hugging onto his shirt tightly. Abhi sat there comforting her before she was able to say anything more.
"I - I'm sorry it's just that, I didn't want anyone to know until I had any proof that Tanu isn't the mother of your baby and that Aaliya is hell bent on ruining you and bringing you down from your fame"
Abhi looked at her in shock. "Wait what, really?"
"Yes, see you do not believe me which is the reason why I did all this"
"Fuggy, are you mad? Number one I believe you more than myself, number two why didn't you tell me all this the day you found out?"
"I thought, I thought without any proof you wouldn't believe me like you used to so-"
"Fuggy, look you have the answer. I used to think you were wrong but I don't now do I? You know I love you" Abhi interrupted her. "Listen Fuggy, I trust you more than myself, each and every word you say to me, I trust you" Abhi moved her hair out of her face and made her look at him. "I trust you" He repeated. "I trust you."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know, I wanted to sort this mess out myself"
"But where were you all this time? I looked for you everywhere the day you went missing, I was even told you met with an accident? Is it true? What happened?"
Pragya explained everything from her accident to her planning and Abhi hugged her again.
"You did all this for me? But you should have told me in the first place, why did you want me to hate you?"
"I didn't I just wanted to do this by myself."
"Fuggy, this is the final time I will say this, I trust you. Remember, I will always be by your side, forever" He whispered into her hair as she hugged him tighter.
After a long moment she loosened her grip and he made her lay in his lap as he patted her to sleep. He looked out at the stars and closed his eyes cherishing the peace he had in his arms.
He had let her go before but not now, he wouldn't make that mistake again. He thought of the events that had taken place. Never in his life had he imagined that his own sister would hate him so much that she would try to destroy him, he had only wished the best for her. And in that moment in his lap lay the women he hurt so much but still she had taken such a step all to protect him? How she loved him selflessly, he promised he would do too for as long as he lived. He smiled looking at her innocent face in her sleep. He didn't care what he had to face now, he had her by his side and that was all that mattered.
