Aliya and Tanu had called Taiji, Tauji, Mitali, Akash and Dasi to the main hall telling them that Bulbul wanted to talk to the elders of the family about Pragya.
"What happened Bulbul? What do you have to say now? You know right that I gave Pragya 24 hours to prove herself innocent but she couldn't" said Abhi calmly
"I know Jiju. But..." replied Bulbul but was interrupted by Tanu.
Now what do you have to say? Now will you prove yourself innocent? We all knew that she was characterless, and she did prove it by just running away from here without informing anyone of us."
Bulbul got angry and wanted to tell the truth to them but she couldn't as she remembered how her sister had pleaded her not to tell anyone..
Similarly, Aliya and Mitali taunted Bulbul about her sister being characterless which unknowingly made Abhi furious deep inside him, but didn't let anyone know.
But what Tanu said was the limit. He couldn't tolerate it anymore.
"God knows, for money what else she mu..."
"Shut Up!! Just Stop It Tanu!! This is the limit. How can you say such a thing about a woman, especially someone like Pragya?" shouted Abhi which shocked everyone but Tanu and Aliya the most..
"Bulbul, come with me. You won't be able to talk with such people interrupting." said Abhi
"Okay, Jiju." replied Bulbul
Abhi took Bulbul to his room and closed the door.
"Tell me Bulbul. What do you have to tell me about Pragya?" asked Abhi
"Jiju, tell me frankly. Do you seriously think Pragya di would do such a thing? Do you think she coud cheat you?" asked Bulbul sounding serious.
"How does it even matter now?" asked Abhi while shrugging
"I know di couldn't prove herself innocent but that does not mean that she is not innocent. It might be possible the she did not tell you the truth because of some other reason." said Bulbul with a knowing look on her face
"What do you mean?" asked Abhi
"I don't mean anything Jiju. I'm just saying it might be a possibility. I know my sister and she would not have done such a thing. Jiju just think a little from your heart. Don't you believe your wife?" asked Bulbul
"Okay fine Jiju. You think that Pragya di did such a thing. Fine." said Bulbul seeing Abhi's blank expression.
"Aren't you going to find out who recorded such an MMS and sent it to you and daadi. Aren't you going to punish that person who made such a disgusting MMS of your wife?" asked Bulbul sounding reasonable
"I can't tell you more. But yes, I still hope that you would find the hidden truth." saying this Bulbul left her Jiju confused.
In the night,
Abhi was sitting with his daadi and caressing her forehead while he was also thinking on what Purab and Bulbul had said. He knew they definitely had a point. If he punished Pragya for doing such a thing then, he should also punish the person who had made such a MMS and send it to daadi.
He had to find out who it was...
