Hi guys!This is an os on pragya and abhi..hope you like it😊
The vivacious young woman
"I am requesting you.Please grant me my last wish abhi."dadi pleaded
"Yes,I will do as you say,but please don't leave me."abhi whispered,tears staining his eyes.
"Take care of yourself and pragya"dadi said while taking her last breath
Abhi was crestfallen but had to dutifully follow his dadi's last wish.He would marry that downmarket village girl.
Somedays had passed since his Dadi's death ,and he was going to meet pragya,the woman he was compelled to marry due to dadi's wishes.He sighed and entered the chawl type place.A young woman about 20 blocked his way
"whom do you want?"she asked suspiciously
"ummm...pragya?"he told tentative at her suspicion
For a second her eyes widened and she immediately screeched"oh my god!Its you!Its you!Its you!My rockstar abhi!!"pragya jumped up and down like a kid
Abhi was amused by her behavior,but immediately composed himself and replied
"yes.Look we have to get married as per my dadi's last wish,and I wish it to happen as soon as possible."
"sure.Lets get married now!"pragya replied enthusiastically
"what!now?where and how?,don't you want to inform your family members"abhi asked flabbergasted
"I don't have anybody"pragya looked away and whispered
"oh..i am sorry..i didn't know."
"ohh!thats fine!now I have you!!"pragya replied regaining her happy voice
Abhi groaned inwardly,he didn't want anything to do with this village girl.He hated her over-cheerfulness.There was nothing to be so cheerful,atleast not for him anyways.
"lets go to the temple now and get married."pragya stated
"you sure?"abhi confirmed
"yup"she said
"Let's go and get over with this." He muttered,the last part incoherent
They got married and Pragya was highly excited.She was with the love of her life,nothing else mattered to her.As soon as they reached home,he showed pragya her room and entered his.Pragya was shocked that she had to stay in a different room,after all they were married,weren't they?she convinced herself thinking he might be finding it difficult to adjust to this married life and might need time.She jumped happily ,looking at the spacious rooms.
Next morning
Abhi and his band were practicing some tunes when one of the member asked abhi to get him breakfast.Abhi called the cook via intercom,but nobody replied.He groaned and went into the kitchen and was shocked to see pragya cooking.She was way too happy,dancing as she turned the parantha on the pan ,singing his songs.He smiled looking at her.She was like a small kid ,filled with a bundle of energy and cheerfulness.He went to her and asked"where's the cook?"
She looked mortified at being caught while she was dancing like a monkey.Her cheeks were bright red due to embarassment.
"Umm..since its my first day,I thought I should cook,and gave the cook a holiday!"she muttered happily bouncing
"I am cooking your favorite aloo paranthas"pragya said hoping to impress him
Abhi was about to lose his temper.His friends were health conscious and preferred nutritious breakfast,she would be embarassing him if he took her paranthas,instead of egg,toast and juice.
He slammed the kitchen counter with his fist,shocking pragya .
"who the hell do you think of yourself!and with what right did you give the cook a holiday?"He screamed at her
She was immensely hurt but still plastered a smile and said
"what do they want?I will make it for them."she said camly,a smile on her face"
"oh!really?fine!cook some french toasts,bagels and some low fat cheese sandwiches.can you?"he glared at her
She hadnt even heard such names in her life,how will she make it?
Abhi instinctively clutched the parathas she made and threw it in the trash bin.He was temperamental and her child like behavior was frustrating him.
Pragya blinked her tears away,and smiled
"I am sorry.I will never do it again without asking you."
She walked away to her room,leaving abhi in the kitchen.
Abhi was shocked with his own behaviour.why did he behave like an animal?He was temperamental and he knew it,but what he did today was severe.He had to apologise to her,even if it bruised his ego ,he would.
He went to her room at saw her sleeping.His friends had left an hour ago.She looked so fragile and innocent,an instant urge of protecting her came to his mind,but he shooed it away.He could never fall for a village girl.He wrapped a blanket around her soft form,and sighed.
"sorry pragya.my behavior was unjustifiable.I am sorry."he kissed her forehead and immediately jerked back.what was he thinking?,confused with his own emotions,he ran away to his room.
Next morning,Tanu,abhi's pa had asked him to attend a movie premier with his wife,as the whole country wants to know,who the lucky damsel is.
He cursed loudly when he thought of going out with pragya publically.He would definitely lose his reputation,but he didn't have any choice.so he called over some stylists and asked them to help pragya.
Abhi was waiting desperately for his wife to show up,he had manned up and apologized to her for yesterday's incident and she had happily forgiven him,the vivacious person she was.When she finally showed up,his mouth was left wide open.She looked spectacular,a greek goddess.He immediately composed himself and left for the premiere.
Pragya was very nervous,she didn't want to embarrass abhi in anyway and hoped the premiere would be finished without any scenes caused due to her.
"You look very pretty."abhi said out of the blue and was satisfied with the scarlet colour that adorned her cheeks.
"You don't look too bad yourself."pragya smirked
They both smiled,being comfortable with eachother.
The premiere was awesome.She loved the movie and had personally met the star.She wanted to jump in joy,but abhi had warned her to be sophisticated,so she controlled her urges.
But all hell broke loose,at the afternight party.Pragya was asked to give away some awards and abhi had encouraged her to move forward.
She wanted to cry.She didn't know how to read and write.What will she do now?what will abhi do?
As expected the whole crowd burst into laughter when she couldn't read.She did not dare look at abhi.suddenely somebody came and pulled her off the stage.It was abhi ,she knew him by smell.
He roughly pushed her inside the car,and sped up.
"You don't know how to read?"abhi asked,his voice dangerously low
"No..I couldn't afford school.I learnt verbal english,with help of some videos,but reading..."pragya's voice broke
Abhi felt sad for the poor soul but it vanished thinking of the embarrassment he faced because of her.
After reaching home,abhi dragged pragya towards the door.
"How many more things are you hiding from me?"abhi growled
"You never asked me."pragya breathed out bravely
"shut up!Its all because of you.You are nothing but an embarrassment to me.I loathe the day I got married to an illiterate low class woman like you."abhi said glaring at her
She was shocked to hear such venomous words from his mouth.His dadi had told her,that he had liked her photo and that's why she agreed to this marriage.
"Dadi said you liked me"pragya muttered with whatever amount of confidence left.
"You are nothing more than a freaking doormat to me,you illiterate b****"
Before abhi could comprehend anything ,he was slapped aloud by his wife.
"Enooougghh!How dare you insult me like that!I am also a human who craves love,a girl who stupidly fell In love with you thinking you are her protector,but now I have realised how wrong I was.You are nothing but an inconsiderate,arrogant rude jerk.I regret ever loving you."pragya screamed the last line and went to her room and packed her bags.she would leave this place for good.
Abhi stood there momentarily shocked,he never expected to rebel him and that worked as an eye opener for him.she regretted loving him.That line played in his mind over and over.He slumped down ,disgusted with himself.How could he think of hurting an angel like her?what would he do if he lost her?
He has irrevocably fallen in love with her.
And tomorrow he would profess it to her,with a long apology.With that thought he went to bed.
The next morning,he woke up with migraine but all of it disappeared when he thought about pragya.He needed to aplogise.He strode to her room as fast as he could but surprise awaited him when the room looked empty.It was as if nobody had stayed there.
He slumped down,tears streaming down at a furious pace.He furiously wiped them away.It was his turn to make up to her not sit and cry like a baby.
It was about 2 weeks since she disappeared and he had searched everywhere.He even hired a detective but alas,there was nothing to be found.He missed her terribly,her jolly nature was infectious,and thinking about her brought a smile to his face.
Today he was supposed to perform his last concert in London and then he would go back to India.He still searched for her but he couldn't even get hold of a clue.After entertaining the crowd with his voice,he requested them to pay attention to his next words.
"I ...I have to say something very important.Pragya,if you are listening to me you will know,how much I regret letting you go.I am sorry,I really am.Please come back to me and I will do whatever you say.",the speech was mushy and romantic and that was enough for the crowd to go boisterous.
He went backstage and sighed.Would she have even heard?Suddenely he heard someone coughing,he looked back in a jerk and was shocked to pragya in all her glory.
She noticed how tired he looked.She wanted to hug him and never let him go but somethings had to be sorted out.
"Pragya..."Abhi whispered shocked,his eyes were wide as if seen a ghost and then a wide smile played on his lips.
"I am extremely sorry...I just didn't know how much you meant to me till you left me.I am ready to do whatever you say,but don't file a divorce."he whispered brokenly ,coming closer to her and cupping her face.
Hot tears flowed down her cheeks.She loved him and he loved her.Yes,he was wrong but he's repenting.Should she forgive him?
"Pragya..lets give this marriage one more chance.I will never force you but I would be happy if you would just say yes."
She looked up at gazed directly at his eyes,which showed utmost sincierity.
"Yes"Pragya whispered ,standing on her toes ,sealing his lips with hers as they both embarked on a new journey filled with happiness.
