(I was bored so I decided to post the next part as well. :D)
Chapter 2:
Abhi was sound asleep while Pragya was still awake. Her sleeping the plane had taken away all of her tiredness. She just lay in bed staring at Abhi. He looked so innocent sleeping. Not aware of anything, clueless. She loved him like this. She loved it when he was clueless about something and he would make that expression with a sparkle in big brown eyes and the confusion of his face, Pragya loved it.
Pragya at first hesitated but slowly moved some hair that had come on Abhi's face. Her movement had disturbed Abhi. Before Abhi could open his eyes, Pragya moved his hand and pretended to sleep. Abhi woke up, checked the time and looked at Pragya.
"Chashmish, forgot to take her glasses off." Abhi said to himself and slowly removed them. Pragya smiled, while Abhi believed she smiled in her sleep. After few minutes, when Pragya was sure Abhi had fallen asleep, she slowly opened her eyes. To her surprise, she found Abhi staring at her. They shared an eye lock for few minutes before both of them turned to the other side. Pragya smiled a cheeky smile at the little moment they had shared.
Abhi was lost in his own thoughts. He was doubting the fact, the Pragya could be a gold digger. She looked so innocent and pure whenever he would look at her or when ever he would stare at her. She didn't fit the image at all. She didn't even fit to her confession. Abhi was just plain confused. He was frustrated by all the planning and plotting and maybe this would be the time when his mind would finally be at ease.

Abhi woke up to find Pragya drying her hair. She looked so beautiful that Abhi couldn't help but stare at her. Pragya saw him staring from the mirror, but she acted to be clueless and smiled at the fact that Abhi was staring at her. After a few moments, Abhi realized he was staring at her, thus he got up and left for the washroom, while Pragya kept smiling to herself. She was glad Abhi was noticing her.
After both of them were ready they left for the market/mall. To their surprise it was heavily crowed. They had to squeeze through everyone. Pragya had to literally run to catch up to Abhi.
Suddenly she bumped into someone but when she looked around, Abhi was nowhere to be seen. She tried going ahead, Abhi was still no where to be seen. She was scared now, she had no where to go. She didn't even to the place. She controlled herself from freaking out and went ahead trying to find Abhi.
Abhi after a few moments realized Praga wasn't behind her. He tried looking for her but it was nearly impossible for him to search the crowd. He ran back, trying to find Pragya. He was growing impatient and worried, each moment, though he had no idea why?
Abhi reached a point where there was almost no crowd. He looked all around, Pragya was no where to be seen. He was near to freaking out, just then someone hugged him from behind. He turned around and to his relief it was Pragya. He quickly hugged her and Pragya started crying.
"I thought I lost you." Pragya cried. She was still hugging Abhi and Abhi also seemed to be in no mood to let go. "I was so scared."
"It's okay." Abhi consoled cupping her face. "You're okay. I'm right here." Hearing his words Pragya hugged him, knowing that Abhi cared deeply for her. He felt relieved and at ease after seeing Pragya, for a moment he had thought he would never see Pragya again. After some moments Pragya let go. Little did they know, one of Daadi's spies had clicked a picture and sent it to Daadi.

"Aaliyah, Tannu. Look at this." Daadi said showing the picture. "Look how much in love they are." Aaliyah seemed amused, while Tannu controlled her anger. How dare Abhi hug her and cup her face.
Tannu quickly called Abhi but to her surprise he cut the call. This made Tannu even more angry.

"Let's go back to the hotel. I have enough of this place." Abhi said and gave her his hand. "I don't want you to be lost again." Pragya nodded and held his hand. Another picture sent to Daadi. Abhi was ahead and but he had securely held Pragya's hand. Pragya smiled at his protectiveness. She felt jubilant that Abhi was protective for her. She stole a glance at Abhi before returning her intention to their inter-wined hands.
Abhi kept glancing back, making sure Pragya was okay. Pragya seemed to be okay but something was still nudging him that she wasn't okay. There was something in her expression that showed a hint of pain.
"Are you okay?" Abhi asked stopping. "You seem to be in pain?"
"I..I'm fine." Pragya replied. Surprised at the fact that Abhi had noticed.
"No. You're not." Abhi replied.
"It's just..." Pragya glanced at her foot. It seemed to have swollen. "I kind of twisted it when I bumped into that person." Abhi looked at her feet. She sat on his knee, examining it. It had swollen. He touched it slowly and Pragya flinched. He realized she was in deep pain and was masking it.
Without any warning, Abhi scooped her up and started walking for the car. Pragya wrapped her arms around his neck out of instinct and stared at him. She couldn't help but smile but she covered it up, this didn't go unnoticed by Abhi. Abhi looked at her and once again, they shared an eye lock. Abhi was so mesmerized seeing her this close to him. Without any distractions of Aaliyah or Abhi. He felt happy spending time with Pragya.
He started walking again towards the car. He carefully moved through the crowd. He was careful that Pragya's foot didn't hit anyone or they bump into anyone. She could smell Abhi's cologne. It was so tempting. She wanted to reach up and kiss him on his cheeks but she fought all her urge. Just then an idea clicked her mind. She purposely moved her head back. Slowly so Abhi wouldn't notice. Her bumped into someone and she got a push ahead causing her lips to touch Abhi's cheek. Abhi nearly dropped her because of the push from Pragya bumping into someone and from the unexpected kiss. Pragya looked away sheepishly, turning a crimson red colour.
Abhi couldn't help but smile while Pragya sae from the corner of her eyes. She was glad that enjoyed it. Abhi subconsciously tightened his grip around her and pulled her closer. This made Pragya look at him. Abhi quikly pecked her cheek and winked at Pragya turned to a shade of the darkest red.
Little did they know, all this had been captured in pictures and was sent to Daadi. Daadi kept showing it to Aaliyah and Tannu. Aaliyah was shocked out of her wits while Tannu was about to explode.
(Enough for now)
