The Next Day,
Abhi entered the room and found Pragya arranging the room. He went near her and said : " Pragya, Please. Just listen to me once."
Pragya completely ignored him. She still continued arranging the room, she was near the sofa.
"Pragya. I'm really sorry. I did want to tell you everything, but.. But everything happened soo fast that I didn't know what to do. Tanu's parents.. Pragya.. Pragya.. Are you listening to me? I'm talking to you..."
Pragya completely ignored him & went out of the room. After what he had done, Pragya's behaviour was justified.
In the main room,
"Pragya. Where are you going?" called out Daadi.
"Daadi, Actually I was missing Maa and Bulbul a lot so I thought I would go & meet them."
"Oh Okay. You go."
Pragya turned to leave as Abhi came there. Abhi looked at her but shee didn't. She just left.
"Abhi, Are you free?"
"Yes Daadi. Why? Do you have any work?"
"Actually Pragya wanted to go to meet Sarla. So I thought you would go to drop her."
' If I go to drop Fuggi, I'll get a chance to talk to her. I really need to explain things to her.' thought Abhi.
"Okay Daadi." said Abhi and left.
Pragya was standing near the gate trying to stop an auto. But no auto would stop. She was waiting when Abhi came there with his car. He brought his car infron of her and lowered the window side opposite to him.
"Chashmish, get inside."
She continued ignoring him and started walking forward. He got out of the car & went to her.
"Fuggi, it's better you sit in the car because Daadi sent me to drop you." She still was walking. Abhi was walking fast in order to catch up with her.
"Arrey, Daadi might have even called Sarla Aunty and told her we are coming. So, come.." He took Pragya's hand to take her to the car, but Pragya pushed him and took her hand away.
"If Daadi has called Maa and said that we are coming then that's not a problem. It's not important for me to come with you. I can go by an auto and you can come in your car." said Pragya & turned to leave but again turned to him. "By the way, you don't have to because daadi told you too. If you want I can tell Maa & Daadi that you had some work so you couldn't come..."
Just then an auto stopped and she sat in it and went. Abhi didn't know what to do.
At Pragya's house - In Bulbul's room,
"Arre Pragya Di, What happened? Did you propase Jiju? What did he say? Any romantic moment? Arre Why are you quiet?" asked and exited Bulbul.
Hearing Bulbul's questions, The conversation of Tanu's parents & Abhi flashed in her mind.
"Di, Tell na? Did you?"
"Bulbul, forget all this. Tell me about you & Purab. How is he?"
"Di He's good. But don't try to change the topic. Tell me. Is everything okay? Did Jiju tell anything to you?"
"Arre No Bulbul. Why are you asking these questions?"
"Di, please Tell me the truth. Is everything okay? Did you propose Jiju."
"No. No, I didn't. Even if I tell him my feelings, you will loose the challenge with Tanu because he loves Tanu and he's going to get.."
"Going to get what Di?"
Pragya became hesitant.
"Di, tell me. going to get.."
"going to get married to her." said Pragya with tears flowing down now.
Bulbul was shocked hearing this.
"Di, Are you serious? You must have mistaken.."
"No Bulbul. I have not mistaken anything. I have heard everything with my own ears and seen with my eyes. Now what's there to misunderstand."
"Di, tell me clearly what happened."
Pragya told everything what happened the day before yesterday.
"Di, I think you should talk to Jiju once clearly about this."
"Bulbul, you don't.."
"Pragya.. Bulbul.. Come out fast.. Look Abhi beta has come..." called Sarla Maa.
They both came out and all the family members were talking to each other for a while and they both left. Pragya now had to come with Abhi as her mother had come out to see them. They were driving back home and it was about 10 minutes. None of them said a word. When Abhi couldn't take it anymore, he finally spoke..
"See Pragya. I need to explain things to you..." he went on, but stopped as he saw that she wasn't listening to him. She was just looking out of the window. He suddenly stopped the car.
"Are you even listening to me, Pragya? I'm trying to explain thing to you. And.." he had to again stop as Pragya got down of the car and started going.
"Pragya.. Pragya." shouted Abhi from the car. He got down & went near her. He grabbed her by the arms and pulled her near him.
"I'm talking to you Pragya. I want to talk to you about Tanu and you're just ignoring me. Seriously?"
"I don't want to listen to angthing. I know you love Tanu and you want to marry her. I already said it to you that day that I have no problem. You want to marry her, then fine. I have no objections. I have no problem. Do you get it?"
Abhi loosened his grip & Pragya pulled her away from him.
"And you know what? You always wanted me to leave your house right? I don't have any problem in that too. I will leave you and your house. And don't worry I will explain it to daadi and Maa about our marriage, because I don't want to give you any problem because if you love someone you can't see the person in problem." saying this she left. Abhi stood there motionless, thinking of what Pragya had just said...
