In Purab's house,
"What happened Bulbul? Why are you so tensed?"
"Purab you have no idea what has happened."
"What happened? You tell me."
"Purab, Pragya Di and Jiju..." Bulbul told everything to Purab what Pragya said to her.
"What?"
"Yes Purab. This is what happened. Now tell me. What are we supposed to do?"
"Bulbul, Did Pragya Di tell Abhi her feelings?"
"No I think. Why?"
"Nothing.."
They both were quiet for sometime.
"Bulbul, you said that Pragya didn't talk to Abhi about that matter right?"
"Yes."
"So Bulbul if they talk to each other maybe things might sought out a bit."
"I thought about that too Purab. But Di is not ready.. What can we do in this?"
"Bulbul we can make them talk to each other. Right?"
"But how Purab. Di doesn't even want to see Jiju. She might break down again."
"Does Sarla Maa and Daadi know about it?"
"No why?"
"If they don't know then Pragya Di will not ignore Abhi infront of them. Then they both will have to talk to each other.."
"But Purab how can..."
"Bulbul how many questions do you ask? Listen to me..." Purab tells his plan to Bulbul.
"Wow Purab such a nice plan. I knew you had brains but I didn't know you knew how to use them.."
"Really?"
"Really."
After 2 days - In the engagement ceremony,
"Purab, you know right. What you have to do?"
"Yes Bulbul. Right after 15 minutes you will go & talk to Pragya Di and I will talk to Abhi."
"Yes. I hope this plan works."
"It will."
Bulbul and Purab give a high five to each other..
Mithali, Aliya and Tanu are seeing them at a distance..
"This will be the last time Bulbul you are smiling with Purab. The next time you meet Purab you will be married to someone else and I will be happy with Purab."
"Aliya, Do you think that this plan will work?"
"Of Course Tanu. It'll 100% work."
"Okay, So who will go and give Bulbul the message."
"Mithali Bhabhi."
"What? Me? What if she doubts me? No No I can't do it.."
"Mithali Bhabhi You will do it."
"But.."
"After 15 minute, go and tell Bulbul what we told you before. Okay?"
"Ok."
After 15 Minutes,
Purab and Bulbul signalled each other and went to talk to Abhi and Pragya.
"Di, how are you?"
"Arre Bulbul. I'm fine. Did you talk to Purab? How is he?"
"Purab? He is fine."
"So, Di actually Maa was calling you?"
"Maa? Arre no Bulbul. I just talked to her and came. She went to the kitchen."
"Ya? No Di. She told me to call you."
"Okay. Where is she now? She's there outside. Near the corridoor."
"Corridoor. What is Maa doing there?"
"Arrey Di. You only go and ask Na?"
"Okay I'll come."
"Abhi, How are you? How is everything going?"
"Everything is going fine Purab. You tell me. You talked to Bulbul. Today is your engagement. It's you special day. What are you doing here? You should be with Bulbul."
"Yes Bhai. But Bulbul only sent me here to.."
"What? Bulbul sent you here? For what?"
"Actually she's calling you. She wanted to talk to you about something."
"About what?"
"I don't know. She told me to tell you to go there outside. Near the corridoor."
"Fine."
'Arre Maa is not here. Then why did Bulbul called me here. This Bulbul na.' thought Pragya.
Pragya went back to search for Bulbul.
"Arre Bulbul." called Mithali Bhabhi.
"Yes Bhabhi. What happened? Any work?"
"Arre No Bulbul actually your Maa right? She told me to tell you that your friend Deepika has come."
"My friend Deepika. Oh ya Deepika. Where is she?"
"She's near the bus stop. She didn't know the address so your Maa told you to go and bring her."
"Oh Okay Mithali Bhabhi. Thank You."
'Purab told that Bulbul called me here. But she is not here. I'll wait for sometime. Maybe she's bust with some guests.' thought Abhi.
"Bulbul" called Pragya.
"Yes Di. Didn't you go there?"
"Bulbul Don't lie to me. I went there and Maa was not there and when I was searching for you I met her she was talking with Daadi."
"Oh. Sorry, I think Purvi called you." panicked Bulbul.
"Bulbul, don't lie. What happened?"
"Nothing happened Di. Actually I had to go to the bus stop to pick Deepika."
"Deepika. Who Deepika?"
"Di. My friend Deepika."
"Oh. But didn't she call you and say that she cannot come."
"Yes Di. But I think she's giving me suprise."
"Arrey Wait Bulbul. It's your engagement today. You should stay here. I'll go and bring her here. Okay?"
"But Di."
"Bulbul."
"Ok Fine Di. But take care."
"Purab. A big problem. Di found out that I lied to her."
"What?"
"Where is Jiju?"
"I guess he's still waiting for you there."
"I'll go and meet him and come."
"Bulbul, where is Pragya Di?"
"Puarb, Pragya Di has gone to the bus stop to pick Deepika."
"But.."
"Sorry Purab. I tried to stop her but.."
"It's okay Bulbul. After she comes back, we'll try again."
"Purab why don't we send Jiju also to the bus stop?"
"Good idea. But how?"
"I'll directly go & tell him that Pragya Di has gone to the bus stop alone. So he.."
"Right Bulbul. You go and tell him. Okay?"
"Okay."
Bulbul went outside to meet Abhi near the corridoor and Aliya saw her going out. She thought that Bulbul went to the bus stop..
"Hello. Listen Now near the bus stop a girl will be coming. So, she'll reach there within 5 to 10 minutes. So, you know what to do right?" said Aliya on the phone.
"Yes Ma'am I know what to do."
"Okay." said Aliya and hung the phone.
"Jiju."
"Bulbul, Where were you?"
"Jiju, actually I was with Di."
"Pragya."
"Yes Jiju. Di. Di has gone to the bus stop."
"Bus stop. Now? Whom did she go with?"
"Alone."
"Alone? Bulbul how could you let her even go? Have you seen the time now?"
"I tried to stop her. But.. She'll be back after some time. She's gone to pick my friend Deepika."
"Ok, But.."
"Excuse Me Jiju. I need to talk to Purab."
'This Fuggy Na. Doesn't undrstand anything. Who goes out alone at this time?'
"Purab, I think our plan worked. When I told Jiju about Di, he was soo tensed."
"I know Bulbul. Our plan worked. Look there. Abhi is going out."
Bulbul & Purab gave each other another hi five.
Near the bus stop,
"Bulbul told me that Deepika will be here. But there is no one here."
"Johnny, look there. That girl is coming there. I think that's the girle we have to kidnap."
"Yes. Come. Let's get to work."
The 2 men went near Pragya. She felt as if somebody was following her. She turned back. But nobody was there. Suddenly, someone hit her at the back of the head. She fell down on her knees and held her head. She tried to see who it was but she couldn't. Her head was aching too much to see it was. Before late, she fell unconsious.
Abhi just reached the bus stop. And saw Pragya's phone lying on the road. He went near it and searched for Pragya.
"Pragya. Pragya. Where are you."
But no response came.
The men had carried Pragya to their van and put her in the back seat. They were about to drive off from there but the tires were punctured. The men tried to change the tires when they heard Abhi's voice. They panicked and tried to change the tires fast but couldn't. Just then one man felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He turned around and it was Abhi.
"Excuse me. Did you see any girl wearing a yellow and white sari?" asked Abhi to them.
The men stammered as they realised that this man was searching for the girl they had kidnapped.
"Sorry. We didn't."
Abhi turned to go but something stopped him.
He turned to the car and saw a yellow piece of material jammed between the the door og the back seat. The 2 men followed his gaze and noticed that in a hurry Pragya's saari's cloth got jammed. Abhi instantly recognised that it was Pragya's. He looked at the two men who were now too nervous and had started sweating.
Abhi went to the car and opened the door. He saw Pragya there. Her head was bleeding badly. He went near her.
"Pragya. Pragya, open your eyes." cried Abhi.
One man took a sitck and hit Abhi in the back. He kept Pragya in a comfortable position on the ground and her head resting against the car's seat. Abhi turned around. The man raised his hand to hit him again with the stick but ABhi caught his hand and took the stick from him and hit that man with hit. He was about to hit the othere man too, but just then he heard Pragya's soft whisper, "Abhishekh." He left the stick and went to her. Pragya moved a little and tried to talk but she was in too much pain. Her wound was still bleading.
"Pragya, are you okay?"
He got no response. Pragya was trying to keep her eyes open but failed.
Taking this situation as a chance, the men fled. Abhi took Pragya to his car and drove to the hospital.
In the Mehra Mansion,
"Purab, I'm feeling very scared. It's been an hour now. Still Di and Jiju didn't come back. I hope everything is fine."
"Don't worry Bulbul. I'll call Abhi and ask him."
"Yes Purab, please."
"Aliya, Bulbul is right here. You told that she went to the bus stop."
"Yes. I saw her go."
"Mithali Bhabhi, Did you tell Bulbul?"
"Yes, I told Bulbul whatever you told."
"Then how is this possible?"
In the hospital,
Pragya was being treated by the doctors and Abhi was waiting for the doctors to come out.. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Purab.
"Hello Purab."
"Abhi? What happened? Where are you? You went to the bus stop to meet Pragya Di right? Then what's taking you so long?"
"Purab, Pragya."
"What happened to Pragya Di?"
"Purab, you come fast to City Hospital."
"City Hospital? Abhi is everything okay?"
Hearing this Bulbul clutched Purab's arm. Purab held Bulbul's hand as if to tell her everything will be fine.
"You just come fast." said Abhi and hung up.
"What happened Purab? Is everything okay? Is Di fine?"
"I don't know Bulbul. Abhi told to come to City Hospital."
"City Hospital? I'm very scared Purab."
"Bulbul, Everything will be fine. I'll go and come. Don't tell anything about it. Okay?"
"Purab, please let me also come."
"Bulbul, but.."
"Please"
"Fine. Come."
They both went to the City Hospital. They both saw Abhi waiting in the waiting area. They both rushed to him.
"Jiju.." Bulbul stopped as he saw blood stains on his shervani.
"Abhi, This blood?"
"Purab, Pragya."
"What happend to Pragya Di, Jiju?"
"Bulbul..." Abhi told everything to them.
"What?"
Just then the nurse entered and told them that the doctor wants to meet them. They all come out to meet the doctor.
"Doctor, How is Pragya? Is everything Okay?"
"Mr. Mehra. She is fine. She is lucky that the wound is not that deep. But rest is very important. Because she lost lot of blood, she might feel dizzy and feel weak. But will be fine if she takes rest for a few days."
"Thank you Doctor."
Abhi went inside to meet Pragya. He sat beside her and held her hand, and didn't realise when he started crying.
Pragya too held his hand and said, " I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way I did. I knew that you loved Tanu, but I don't know what happend to me. I'm sorry.. I have no problem with your and Tanu's marriage. I'll always be there with you." Tears started flowing down her cheeks.
"No Pragya. You don't have to be sorry. If it's anyone's fault then it's mine. I shouldn't have lied to you. I should have trusted you. I'm the one who hurt you feelings. I don't want to marry Tanu. I want to stay with you for the rest of my life. I do."
"You don't have to, Abhishekh. You don't have to do this for others. If you want I'll talk to Daadi and everyone. You don't have to force yourself."
"I'm not. I'm not doing this for others. And I don't want to stay with you for the rest of my life for others. I want to, for myself. I know I'm being selfish. But I want too - for my happiness.."
They both hugged each other.
Purab and Bulbul saw all this and hugged each other.
After an hour, Purab and Bulbul came to Abhi.
"Jiju We found out who was behind all this?"
"Behind what?"
"Abhi Tanu and Aliya planned to kidnap Bulbul, but Pragya got kidnapped instead."
"What are you saying Purab?"
"We are telling the truth Jiju."
"Mithali Bhabhi." called Purab.
She came infront and told everything to Abhi.
Flashback..
"Mithali Bhabhi, Why did you lie to me that Deepika is waiting for me at the bus stop? Tell Me."
"I didn't lie."
"Please Bhabhi. We know the truth. We just want to hear it from you."
"Yes, I lied to you. I lied only because I was told too."
"Who told you to do this?"
"Tanu and Aliya."
"What?"
"Yes."
Mithali Bhabhi told them everything. How they had used her telling how they would free Raj from jail. She even told that she had taken Raj's signatures on the paper for money..
Flashback Ends..
"I can't believe this." said Abhi. "I can't believe that my own sister did this.. And Tanu.."
At the Mehra Mansion,
Abhi pulled Aliya and Tanu to a side.
"How could you do this Aliya? And you Tanu? I never thought you both would do this. You could have killed her. Do you know that?" shouted Abhi.
"I know Bhai. And that Bulbul deserves this. But unfortunately that Pragya got kdnapped instead."
"Aliya, Seriously? You are still not ashamed of yourself?"
"No, I'm not. And I would do anything to get my Purab back. I would even kill someone."
Abhi slapped her.
"Aliya, Where is my sister? The person who is standing infront of me right now is not my sister. She a criminal. Aliya Please, Rectify your mistake before ir's too late or else I only would have to do something."
"And you Tanu, Don't even show me your face again." said Abhi and went.
