Ah. Life has the habit of coming back and kicking you in the butt. And Abhi needs some serious butt-kicking. Well done. Grow up a little, and then perhaps you will understand what Dadi was telling you.

Loved it very much Diahh.Thank you for the pm.Sorry for the late comment.

Beautiful and moving chapter.

Loved Abhi and Daadi's conversation

Glad that she knocked some sense into him.

My favourite part was Daadi slapping Abhi , he truly deserves it glad that slap caught him off guard..

Loved it when he thought, how he would feel if someone did the same thing to Aaliyah like what he is doing to Pragya.

"Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you."

Haan... I will google it and see... Hmmm... How to say sorry... YES!" loved that part very much, that is so Abhi .

Mr Rockstar this is for you:

A sincere apology has these parts:

I am sorry

It is my fault

What can I do to make it right?

I will never do the same mistake again.

Loved that how he choose Purvi as his ally.

Chapter 6

Loved it very much Diahh. Thank you for the pm.

Loved that how they notice each others physical change.

He find peace when he sees her and she is happy to see him.

Loved how Pragya is conflicted about her current relationship with Abhi.

Abhi still believes Pragya using Hypnotism and Jaddu , for heaven sake Mr Rockstar grow up.

Pragya really thought that Abhi came to see her because he want divorce her, poor thing.

Glad that he finally realise he hardly know anything about her, despite living together for few months.

Divorce! Did she just say DIVORCE! , she has to spell it out for him to know what she was talking about , Mr Dimwit Rockstar.

This is my favourite part of this chapter:

okay I forgive you! Happy now? But you know what? I will never be able to forget what happened between us... I will never be able to forgive you for what you did! You destroyed my life! You destroyed my whole life Abhishek Mehra and I will never forgive you for that all my life!"

Glad that she did not easily forgive him after all the harsh and beastly things he did to her.

The Turning Point

Chapter 07

"What? Jiju came to meet Di at college?"

"Shhh! Bulbul Chup! Di made me promise not to tell anything to Badi Ma. But I had to share this with someone!"

"Purvi... What do you think? Why did Jiju come there? I mean after all this... Are you sure he didn't do anything or said anything bad to Di? Because I am telling you Purvi, if he even attempts to hurt her one more time..."

"Oh Bulbul Relax! I asked Di several times because she was crying all the way home... I got so scared... But she kept assuring she is okay..."

"Then why was she crying?"

"She said Jiju told her sorry for everything that happened..."

"What?"

"Haan... Even I was surprised. But Bulbul he did not look good at all... I almost felt sorry for him after seeing him..."

"What do you mean?"

"You know how Jiju is... But today he was just not the same... I don't know how to describe it... It's as if he was so vulnerable or something like that..."

"Abhi the Rockstar and vulnerable?"

"Bulbul I know you won't believe me... You should have just seen him... And Di... You know what Bulbul, I know this sounds so strange... But it felt like both of them were so happy to see each other..."

"Purvi you know what happened! Still you are saying Di is happy to see him? How could you even think like that? I am sure she was just shocked to see him there..."

Pragya could not bear to hear any longer. She was on her way to the kitchen, when Bulbul and Purvi's hushed whisperings reached her ears. They were talking about Abhishek and her, unaware of her standing in the hallway while they sat huddled together in the sofa in the hall.

Pragya slowly retreated back to her room.

Is Purvi right? Was I happy to see him? I guess I was... Bulbul asked how can I be happy after all that happened... She is correct! The man who punished me day and night for a no fault of mine, the man who made my life a hell comes in front of me and I feel happy to see him? How is that even possible? That is not logical! Not at all! Pragya you were not happy! You were just shocked! Haan... Shocked!

How could he even think that I would forgive him! Really what a confusion it had been! I thought he wanted a divorce! But apparently that has not even occurred to him! Strange! He was so shocked! How come? He always wanted to get rid of me and now the last thing he has got to do is divorcing me... Then he can permanently get rid of me... Then why didn't he do so?

Why did he want to apologize to me! So does that mean... Does that mean he wants to give our relationship a chance? Pragya STOP! There is no future for this marriage and that is final! It won't work out anyway... There is so much baggage already... But if he is seeking forgiveness and if I forgive him one day then? No! NO! How can you forget all the insults, taunts, hurt, pain you suffered at his hand? Will you ever be able to trust him again? Is there any guarantee that he would never accuse or judge you again when others instigate him against you? Pragya tightly closed her eyes as she pondered on these thoughts...

"No!" Pragya slowly opened her eyes.

I cannot trust him again. So even if she forgives him there is really no future for them... Haan of course then there is Tannu... How did I forget her! Till she is there in his life how could she even imagine a second chance with him... There is no love, no trust in this marriage... Only hurt and pain are there...

************************
It had only been three days since Abhishek came to meet her. But it felt longer. Pragya often found her mind wandering back to that day. His unexpected apology, her refusal to forgive him, her leaving behind a numb Abhishek to cope with her refusal... Where is he? What did he do after she left? Did I do the correct thing? The why does it bother me so much? Questions poured and dominated Pragya's mind so much so that sleep deserted her.

Thus, when she left home on the third day to go to college Pragya was definitely not in a good mood especially due to her agitated mind coupled with insomnia.

"Bhabhi!"

Pragya looked towards the voice to find herself face to face with Aakash.

"Aakash? Tum yahaan?"

"Haan Bhabhi... Sorry I didn't want to disturb you! And Daadi especially told us not to bother you in anyway but it's just that I had to do this for Bhai..."

"So HE sent you here? What is his problem? I told what I had to tell him... And now he sends you! Please Aakash I just beg you! Let me live my life!"

"NO! No Bhabhi! Bhai didn't send me here! He doesn't even know I am here... In fact no one at home knows that I came to meet you. It's just that... Uhh... Bhai..."

"What are you telling Aakash? I don't understand anything!"

"Bhabhi it's just that Bhai has not been home for 2 days now..."

"So? Aakash I am sure there is nothing to worry. He must have gone for a concert or shoot or you know something like that..."

"No Bhabhi that is what I thought at first... Then yesterday I got a call from this producer he said Bhai was supposed to go for an Ad shoot yesterday and he didn't reach there. We both tried calling him but his phone is switched off. Then I talked to his driver and he had no idea where Bhai went. And then I got to know Bhai went to see you three days ago and he was pretty upset after that... So I thought maybe you know something about his whereabouts..."

Abhishek is missing? Did... Did something happen to him? You can't think like this Pragya! No! No he is alright! But how is this even possible? With all the bodyguards, staff that surround him how can he go missing? Unless, of course he goes away himself! But where did he go? And why? Has this got to do anything with his apology? What is he trying to do? How can he be so irresponsible! Daadi must be worried sick for him! She talks to him every single day before she goes to sleep! So she must be already knowing he is missing!

"Aakash... Daadi?"

"No Bhabhi she doesn't know anything. Actually the thing is after you left home Daadi is kind of angry with Bhai... I don't exactly know why. But it must be something big because she has stopped talking to Bhai completely..."

Daadi is not talking to him! Maybe that's the reason! I mean, She is the only person who could have such an effect on Abhishek. Wait... Then did he go to Tannu's place? Could be... He went there on our wedding night too... So he might have gone there...

"Aakash did you talk to Tannu?"

"Tannu? But why would I call her?" Aakash asked bewildered.

Oh god! He doesn't know anything Pragya.

"No. I thought as they are good friends, she might know something about his whereabouts..."

"Oh yes could be Bhabhi... Wait I will just call her!"

Pragya tried to form the conversation by listening to Aakash's side of the conversation.

"Hello Tannu? Aakash here. I called you to ask about Bhai..."...

"What? So you haven't seen him for over a week now?"...

"No. No there is nothing to worry. All okay." ...

"Hey listen Tannu. I got to go now but I will tell Bhai to call you ASAP okay? Bye!"

He turned to Pragya.

"Bhabhi he is not there. She hasn't seen him for days it seems..."

Not at Tannu's! Relieved, Pragya released the breath she had been holding for so long. Where could he go? Think Pragya think! You are upset... Want to be alone... Don't need any disturbance... Where would you go? Obviously, somewhere where others would not be able to find you... He is a Rockstar. Everybody know him! So where can he go! Somewhere only he knows... Where he gets peace... Close to his heart... Home? But he is not there... Then? Oh right!

"Aakash I think I know where we can find him!"

*************************

How did I end up here? I am a Rockstar! I have everything a man can ever want! More than enough money, successful career, recognition, property everything! This is all that I ever wanted! Right? 25 years ago I would just sit here and dream about having all these things! How it would all make me happy... So much so that I would never even have to worry!

But now I have it all! More than what I ever imagined! But I am not happy! Not happy at all... But why? 25 years ago I had my Daadi waiting for me at home... But today she is not even talking to me! She despises me... Of whom I have become!

25 years ago I did not have to come here alone... I had Purab to talk to... To share my dreams... But today he is my enemy!

25 years ago I knew whatever happens I would never let a tear fall from my sister's eyes... But today she is crying everyday and I am unable to do anything!

So much has changed! I have changed! So much has happened! Pragya happened!

God! Why did I ever meet her! From the first day we met, misunderstandings were all we had! Misunderstandings which changed me into this person that I am today! How did all this happen! How did I become so blind!

How! Why! When! I can't take this anymore! I just want to sit here... Where no one would find me... All alone...

I should be alone!

"Okay I forgive you! Happy now? But you know what? I will never be able to forget what happened between us... I will never be able to forgive you for what you did! You destroyed my life! You destroyed my whole life Abhishek Mehra and I will never forgive you for that all my life!"

Pragya was right! How could anyone forgive him for what he has done! I destroyed her whole life! Just for the sake of a misunderstanding...

When did I become so stupid! When did I become this horrible person! I am nothing but a horrible person! A horrible stupid man!

How could you even think of forgiveness? Well you would never even dream of forgiving if she did this to you! How did you even think apologizing would be enough! Daadi was right! She is always right! You used to listen to her Abhi... Then when did you stop listening to her Abhi! When? And why? Oh why!

"Abhishek?"

Pragya? Here? Haan it is her! But how did she find me here? How can she find me here... No one knows I am here... Am I seeing a vision? Am I going mad? I must be...

"Abhishek?"

It is PRAGYA! I can feel her shaking my arm... But how did she find me?

"Pragya? You? Here?"

~~~

Abhishek was looking at me disbelievingly. He did not look good. At all! He seems so lost... Vulnerable... And he was still wearing the same clothes he wore three days before... My heart is breaking to see him like this... What bothers him so much! I sat beside him on the ground and waited till he let me in on what bothers him so much.

"Pragya how did you find me?"

His voice sounded so broken. I ignored the ache in my heart and answered his question.

"Aakash came to see me. He was worried and was looking for you. So then when I was thinking where you could possibly go... I figured you would probably go somewhere where no one finds you... But still it would be a place close to your heart... So I thought you would probably go to a place which brought you comfort when you are upset... Probably where you went during your childhood... Daadi used to tell me that you went to this stream close to your old house when you were small... So I made Aakash bring me here... And then I found you..."

~~~

Haan... You found me! You always managed to find me Pragya but me? I never tried to find you until it's too late...

"So?"

Hearing her voice I look at her... So what? Now what? Do you want us to leave now? I don't want to leave. I just want to sit here all day... She can leave of course... But she wouldn't... I know that much! She would never leave me even though all that I have ever done is leaving her behind... All alone! Again I am too late...

~~~~

Abhishek is lost in his own thoughts... I want to relieve his pain but I don't want to force him... I don't know what to do... How to reach out... But my hand seems to know as it slowly leaves my lap and lands in Abhishek's big rough palm. I am as surprised as him with my gesture. But I can see it relaxes him so I let my hand be there...

~~~

Pragya puts her hand in my palm... I am surprised but so does she. I am shocked but it is only for a second as my fingers automatically wraps around her petite hand. It felt so good... But I don't deserve to feel good! And she should not... Must not make me feel good...

"Pragya... Please go... I don't deserve all this. Just let me be. Whatever this is, it is all due to my own doings... So please..."

"Abhishek I can talk to Daadi, you know... Then she will be okay..."

"Why would you do that? I don't want you to do that... I want her to stop talking to me! I want you to be happy seeing me like this! Please!"

"Abhishek!"

"Don't look so surprised! I want all this! I want to be hurt so badly... And I want the pain to never go away... I want this misery to be permanent!"

"Abhishek! ABHISHEK! Look at me... Please... Why! Why are you doing this? Please stop! Just stop all this... I am telling you... All will be well... And I will make sure it does!"

Abhishek slowly removes my hands which have again acted into their own accord and have landed up on his cheeks cradling his face.

"Pragya please try to understand! Just let me be! I deserve all this! I deserve much more than this!"

"Abhishek now you are taking it too far! What the hell are you doing! I just don't get what you are doing! But this has to stop right now! What are you doing! And if this has got to do anything with me forgiving you! Then I forgive you! Just stop all this!"

As the fury that is building within me settles down, words slowly sink in. Did I just say I forgive him? But I don't want to right? I mean I should not right? No Pragya you meant what you said! You do forgive him! Despite all the pain, hurt, insults, taunts I forgive him. I truly do! And I want it to be so! This relief I feel is all because of that...

I am not Abhishek... I am not Aaliyah... I am not Ma! I am me! Just Pragya...

So if I, Pragya wants to forgive him and let go of all this... I am doing it! I won't be start afresh carrying this burden within me! My heart always knew that, it seems... It was never at peace for the past three days... But now I feel calm! I truly forgive Abhishek for all that he has done to me! I do!

"Abhishek... I forgive you! I truly do! What you did to me was wrong! There is no denying! But all of that cannot be undone now... So what we should do is we should just let go... Let go Abhishek! And only then we would be able to start our lives afresh! You can go back to being the carefree Rockstar you were once and I will be the lecturer who loved what she did... All will be well! We will forget that we ever met! And we will go back to who were before we got married... Okay?"

"Pragya you know that it is not possible! Even I know that it is impossible! So how can you be so casual...?"

"Abhishek listen to me! I know it is not possible but it is NOT impossible. We have to try! I have forgiven you! So once we leave here you will start life afresh just as I would. Okay?"

"No Pragya! You start your life afresh! You deserve a new start! But not me! NOT me!"

"But Abhishek why? Why are you doing all this? I have forgiven you... Then why wouldn't you just let this go..."

"Because you might have forgiven me, but I haven't forgiven myself! And I WON'T FORGIVE MYSELF! I won't ever forgive myself for all that I did to you, Daadi, your family, everyone!"

Pragya watched in horror as Abhishek stood up from where they sat and angrily kicked a stone nearby.

"I can't do this Pragya! I can't!"

Pragya continued to stare in horror as her scheming torturer, her unfaithful husband, her forgiven Rockstar shattered onto the ground as the weight of overwhelming guilt dragged him into an unseen dark abyss, right before her eyes.

Nice update, so Pragya went and found him, kind of feel sorry for him but she is right they need to move on and Askash was sweet going to pragya to find out if she knew anything about Abhi, I like her Purvi made Pragya think that she was happy to see Abhi
