Mehra Mansion If you shut the truth up and bury it underground, it will grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through, it will blow up everything in its way.
That's how it blew up in Mehra Mansion. It has been a month since Aaliya, Tanu and Raj were kicked out of the house. Their ploys to deceive and revenge had finally come to light. It wasn't an easy feat, but I had Daadi with me.
Suniye was angry and burned me with his rage, labeling me as a murderer. A cold hearted creature who had killed his Fuggy and his love. How was I to tell him that I still was his Fuggy? He loved me from the bottom of his heart, yet I couldn't reciprocate.
With seeds of doubt, he investigated, but, by the time he saw a glimpse of the truth, I had already resurrected the whole thing from the depths of deceit. I had won my battle. The enemies no longer plagued our life and bright future.
"Pragya", Daadi called me. "Yes Daadi!", I replied her walking out from the kitchen. "Abhi kahaan hai beta?", she asked me, looking at the clock. "He has not come back yet Daadi.", I said sadly. "Kya? Look at the time!", she said sounding worried. "Daadi, aap chinta maat karo, I'll call him.", I said, giving her a small hug.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ring ring! Ring ring! Ring ring!
"Hello.", he said in a low voice. "Suniye, aap kahaan hai?", I asked him in a feeble tone. "At the recording studio. Kuch kaam hai.", he said dryly. "Dekhiye, Daadi is very worried. Mein bhi parishan hoon. Aap jaldi se ghaar wapas ajao na", I said, trying to hold back my tears. "Mein koshish karunga. Ask Daadi to have her medicines and sleep. Aur haan, suno, you also have dinner and sleep. Don't wait for me.", he said before the line went dead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Beta, kya hua? What did he say?", Daadi asked coming to sit next to me on the sofa. "Daadi, he said he has work and will be late.", I said staring at my phone which had a wallpaper of him. "Pragya, roh maat beta.", she said soothingly. "Daadi, mujhe kya karna chahiye? It has been a month since everything happened, since he changed.", I started sobbing as the tears fell on my phone screen.
"Di! Daadi!", Purab called coming home. "Purab beta, where are you coming from?", Daadi asked. "The recording studio Daadi. Bhai kahaan hai?", he asked plopping on the sofa across. "Arre Purab, he just told us he was in the studio.", Daadi said in confusion. "Kya? Impossible Daadi. Bhai left before me. Di, aap...Di!", Purab gasped as soon as he saw my face, the minute I looked up.
"Di, why are you crying? Please na. Roh maat.", Purab came to sit on his knees before me. "Purab, where has he gone to now? Mujhe daar hai...", I cried, holding my face. "Di, don't worry. I think I know where Bhai has gone. Aap please roh maat. I will bring him back. Theek hai?", Purab said holding my knees, before dashing off. "Pragya beta, araam se.", Daadi said putting her arm around me.
"Didi, kya hua?", Daasi asked hurriedly walking down the stairs. "Kuch nahi Indu. Abhishek abhi bhi ghaar nahi ayai hai. He lied to us saying he was in the studio. Purab has gone to bring him back.", Daadi said caressing my hair. "Hai bhagwan, when will the situation in this house change.", Daasi said holding her forehead. "Pragya, don't worry. Ek minute, I'll go and make some chai for us.", she said, going to the kitchen.
For one month, this was what was happening. Drowning himself in recordings and meetings, he had shut off and barely had time for anything else. Every night, I'll call him asking him to come home.
Every time I would get the same answer. Some days, he will come home, while some days Purab had to bring him back, either from the recording studio or one of his apartments where he secluded himself like a recluse.
The worst thing was that he didn't shed a tear. He watched Aaliya, Tanu and Raj being dragged out of the house by the police, without a reaction. Suniye just stood there, his feet rooted to the ground, expressionless.

At the apartment
"Bhai! Darwaasa kolo!", I banged on the door. "Bhai, mujhe pata hai! Aap andaar hai! I saw your car outside!", I continued knocking. "Daadi aur Di ko bohat parishan hai Bhai. Please na. Even I am worried! Let me in.", I begged him, after which I heard the door unlock. "Purab, what are you doing here banging on the door?", Bhai said as he opened the door. "You haven't come home Bhai!", I shrieked at him.
"Purab, this is home too na.", he said with a hushed sigh, walking back in. "Bhai, this is your apartment, ghaar nahi hai.", I said closing the door behind me. "It's the same thing Purab.", he said showing his hands to the surrounding. "Nahi Bhai, it's not. This is your house, not your home. You are not at home.", I said bluntly. "Accha, so you banged on the door to tell me this?", he said sarcastically, dropping on the sofa.
"Bhai, aapko kya hua?", I said in a small voice, going on my knees before him. "Purab, mein theek hoon. I just wanted to write a new song, so I came here.", he said with a smile. "Aap jhoot bhol raha hai. You are not the same.", I said holding his knees. "Purab, mein tumhe sach kaha raha hoon.", he said ruffling my hair. "Accha, tho aap bhol na, why are you avoiding everyone at home?", I said looking up at him.
He didn't answer, but his eyes glassed over. "Bhai, ever since the bitter and ugly truth surfaced, you have just gone silent. Haan, you fumed in anger and slapped Aaliya aur Tanu and whacked the hell out of Raj. Lekin, after that, you just shut off Bhai. Even when they were dragged out, you didn't stir any emotions. You haven't cried Bhai.", I said trying to desperately reach out to him.
"Why should I cry Purab?", he asked me quietly. "Bhai, you are known for bottling up your feelings, at least if you cry, you can lift the burden off na. You have not been talking to Daadi, aur Di properly as well. Why Bhai?", I asked holding his hand. "Purab, I am tired. I just, I am exhausted chotte.", he said with a resigned sigh. "Bhai, are you okay? Have you eaten anything?", I asked as it dawned on me that he maybe starving.
"Purab, abhi wapas ghaar jaana.", he said rubbing his eyes. "Bhai, mein aapko ek savaal puch raha hoon. Did you eat anything?", I said with persistence. "Purab, mein ne kaha...wapas...", he said holding the side of his head before collapsing on the sofa. "Bhai? Bhai?!! BHAI?!!!!!!", I screamed and shook him as worry consumed me. "Bhai, please aakhe khole na!", I pleaded. "Bhai, don't worry. I will be right back!", I said.
I picked up the phone and called the doctor, who immediately agreed to come to the apartment at once. Bracing myself, I then called Di at home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ring ring!
"Hello Purab, tum kahaan hai? Is he with you? Are you coming home?", Di asked me with agitation. "Di, I am in Bhai's apartment. Lekin, woh...woh...Bhai fainted Di. Lekin, aap chinta maat karo, I have called the doctor and he is on his way. Please come with Daadi.", I told her as calmly as I could. "Purab, just be with him. We are on our way.", she said in a whisper before hanging up.

Mehra Mansion
"Daadi! Daasi!", I cried loudly. "Pragya beta! Kya hua??", they immediately came. "Purab bhulaya. Woh, he is in his apartment. Daadi, he has collapsed!", I said as the tears rolled down my face. "Kya?!!", Daadi gasped. "Abhi behosh hogai?", Daasi stared at me. "Didi, let's not waste time. Come on let's go!", she said shaking Daadi. "Haan Indu. Pragya, tum chinta maat karo. Abhi ko kuch nahi hoga!", she wiped my tears.
We hurriedly left as Aakash drove us to his apartment. My heart was drenched in worry and I prayed for his safety. I couldn't lose him when I just went through hell to save him. Yet, the horrible realization was that I was losing him.
