THe whole ride was really silent... After few minutes pragya saw that they are going in the different direction.. "This is not the way to the house " said pragya not looking at Ahi but at the road ahead...
I wanted to talk with you Chashmish.. When he saw Pragya going to protest he said Please.. in a pleading tone which silenced Pragya..
"I wanted to talk with you for a week but you are not at all giving me a chance to talk.. But today i want to talk.. After hearing me whatever you want to decide about us you can decide.. I ll not force you in to anything... I ll stand by you and i ll make sure no one interfere in you decision... "
Abhi told Pragya in a serious tone...
His way of speaking and his tone does something in her heart... But Pragya sat silently...
Looking at her posture no one ll be able to tell whether she heard Abhi or not..
Abhi looked at her in every few minute interval...
Finally they reached their destination.. The car jerked to stop... Pragya came out of her trance and looked around.. Its a beach house...
Abhi got out and reached her door in no time and opened the door for her...
Pragya got down from the car and looked at him.. Abhi smiled a small smile... And started moving towards the back side of the house... From where they can view the beach...
Pragya was mesmerised by the scene in front of her.. The cool breeze and the twinkling stars ... She smiled looking at the beach and Abhi was mesmerised by her smile.. He wished her smile never fades away...
Pragya became consisous and turned towards her companion ... Her smile vanished from her face and the mask was back in no time...
Abhi made her sit in the chair near by and knelled down in front of her.. Abhi reahed for her hands but pragya pulled it away...
Abhi smiled a sad smile and sat in the ground in front of her looking at her face... He was no Rockstar Abhi but just Abhi the one Daadi had mentioned to her...
" My dad passed away when i was small,My mom and Daadi brought us up .. When i was small i used to see my mother work double time just to keep us happy...Even when we don't ve enough food,she ll starve herself and feed us the food... I always wanted to make my mom proud and happy.. I wanted to keep my mom without worries... But when i begin to grow up in my carrier my mother left us all... It was the worst time of my life... Then i began to fear losing someone close to me... Thats why i always keep my Daadi and Aaliya happy... I always fulfilled all their wishes... I never had any wishes for myself.. If my family is happy and safe.. I ll be happy... It gave me sense of satisfaction.. But i dont know when i became blind to fulfil their wishes... I married you without further investigation just because my sister wanted it... I destroyed your life... I lost my brother like friend Purab... "
Now he was looking at the beach... He could no longer look at her eyes to speak further.
I know this is not valid reason for destroying your life.. I am really sorry Pragya.. I taunted you,Tortured you,hurt you.. I am sorry... And i didn't trust you and called you names... Which you don't deserve...
From the time we met i always hurt you.. When we got married i wanted you out of my life.. Because you made me feel something inside my heart which no one did.. I childishly thought as hypnotism.. Abhi laughed slightly remembering that...
I didn't know the importance of your presence when you were close to me.. But Pragya i understood your value and your importance when you started staying away from me... I dont know when your presence became habit for me.. I don't know when i became dependent on you...I don't know when i fell in love with you... Yes I love you.. I understood it really late... I want you in my life Chasmish.. I need you as mush as i need air to breath... All i am asking is a second chance...Please Chashmish ..
And turned towards Pragya to see her face full of tears... He got up and wiped her tears and kissed her forehead...
I love you Chashmish..But decision is yours.. I ll not force you... Take your time...Abhi said looking directly at her eyes..His eyes became teary and his voice choked at the end..
But this time he is not going to be selfish.. He ll allow her to take decision... Living without her ll be tough but not much pain she endured because of him and his sister...
He walked towards the beach and stood looking at water...
Pragya sat there for a long time.."Abhi is sorry, He wants second chance and he loves her"
These words kept ringing in her mind...
Will she be able to live with the man who never trust her..
she questioned herself... But this time Pragya wanted to be selfish... She wants to live with the man she loves... She wants to create new memories with him... Even if something goes wrong in the future she ll ve no regrets.. Still she had few doubts and she wanted to clear it before deciding anything...
She moved towards him and stood beside him...
Abhi looked at her but she is looking straight at the sea,her face doesn't give any indication about the impending decision...
Abhi left out a sigh and turned towards the sea..
You said you love me.. Then what about Tannu... she asked in a no non sense tome..
I broke up with Tannu today morning... said Abhi in low voice..
Pragya's heart jumped in excitement and happiness..But she controlled herself and asked What ll you do if anyone says anything about my character... You ll again say i am..
But Abhi didn't allow her to finish... You are not anything i said Chasmish.. I am sorry for what i said.. I ll trust you more than anyone else...
Pragya turned towards him and said cheekily, oh.. then alright... i am ready to give you a second chance because i love you too...
Abhi stood without moving not even bliking the eyes... Pragya looked at him expectantly...
When Pragya's words started registering in his mind he turned towards her and lifted her up and twirled her shouting" meri Chashmish mujhe pyaar karta hei".
They do ve some loose ends like Aaliya.. But Abhi believed that with Chashmish beside him he ll be able to tackle everything...
But for now they both are happy to be in each other's arms..
THE END
