"Dadi, I am so happy, All this wouldn't have been possible without your blessings and all your support", I said thanking my mates who helped me to expose Tanu. Finally we did it and the witch is out of his life.
Like a cherry on the cake, he proposed Marriage to me on the stage. I couldn't believe everything is solved.
"It's all your hard work and determination di", my mates gave the credit to me and I smiled at them.
"Okay, I have not yet spoken to him after all the drama. I will prepare his fav dinner today", I said excited and they all made funny noises teasing me for it.
------
I walked into my room after preparing his dinner. He wasn't present and I decided to get over this bhoj i am carrying since weeks.
I dress myself like how He loved me and put on my chasma. How much I missed wearing it.
I come out to see the excitement in his eyes looking at his Fuggy. He wasn't there yet and now I felt disappointed. My mind and heart were filled with mixed emotions and feelings. I called him and it was switched off. I bumped into him as I walk out to enquire dadi about him. I could feel his stare on my being. It was a happy-awkward feeling I was going through.
He walked into the closet without uttering a word and again I was disappointed. I neglected his indifference and walked to get the dinner for him. I wanted to have a private dinner with him, share everything that I missed all these days.I came back to see him sleeping on the couch and now I am sure he is upset.
"Suniye", I call him and he opens his eyes looking at me.
"I prepared your fav dinner today", I stretched the tray I was holding.
"I already had my dinner outside, good night, I am tired after the long concert", he said covering himself with his duvet.
"Suniye", I called him again and he looked at me. "Sleep on the bed", I tell him.
"No, I am comfortable here, you sleep there. You must have got used to it", he said with a smile and now he covered his form completly with his duvet.
Tears rolled down my cheeks. He is angry on me. I ran to Dadi's room to share my grief.
"How could he do this?, let me talk to him, he should be grateful to you", Dadi said trying to sooth me.
"No dadi, he will be fine. Let's give him some time", I convinced dadi and walked back to our room.

I wake up realising my day ended yesterday with Tanu getting out of his life. I felt a great amount of relief. I look for him and realise he is not there. I get ready and go down to my family. People greet me with a smile unlike the annoyed expression they gave me until yesterday when they saw me. I search for him and find him missing. I ask for him and nobody really knew where he was. He returns home at around 11am.
"Pragya, I need to talk to you regarding something", he tells me sitting on the couch.
Pragya? Did he call me Pragya? I never felt so bad to hear my name in my life.
"They are some producers who wants to make a deal with me. When would you be free so that I can ask them to come meet you.", he said at a stretch looking right into my eyes.
He looked serious and there was no mockery in his language. I couldn't read saracasam too. He seemed to be dead serious.
"Me?", I asked faking innocence.
"Haan you, my boss!", he said and now I could read saracasam in his words.
"Suniye, you know I did all that to expose Tanu.", I said pouting like a little kid.
"Oh yeah! I should thank you for that, right ? I forgot. Thank you Pragya Arora for saving me from becoming a illegitimate father. Thank you for making up a team on your Own to fight my enemies", he said with a smile. He got up to move and I stopped him and gave him his property papers
"What's this?", he asked me confused.
"Your property", I said looking at him. "I don't need it anymore"
He took it from my hands and put it on the bed with a sigh. Before we talk further Rachna knocked the door asking us to come down as dadi was calling us. He left and I followed him.
"Since all our problems are solved, me and Sarla ji have decided to do a remarraige for you both.", dadi informed us and I looked at him scared but He was smiling.
I talked with the pandit and he said we have a muharth in a week. Shall I confirm it?", Dadi questioned further.
"Your wish, Dadi", he said and excused himself and left the house telling everyone he had some important work to do.
"Don't worry beta, he is just throwing tauntrums to you, he loves you and everything will be fine soon", dadi assures me.
----
I walked into his office passing through a number of confused pair of eyes staring at me.
"YEY! Pragya Arora, meri boss... Came to check how the work is going?.. take ur seat", he said standing up and walking towards me as I entered.
"Enough, why are you doing this?", I asked with my voice choking though I tried to continue. "I know I lied to you, I made you go through so much pain, but please understand I wasn't happy either. It hurt me more than you to see you hurt."
He pulled me towards him sitting on the desk. "Stop crying", he wiped my tears with my dupatta. "I am sorry", he said hugging me. I don't know how long we stayed like that with me crying and he trying to sooth me. We broke the hug when Purab walked in without prior notice.
"Oh, Sorry! I thought I will talk to Abhi. Looks like all is well", Purab said looking elsewhere.
"Stay!", He stopped him as Purab turned back to leave.
"So, you cheated me along with her", he asked Purab raising his brows.
"Sorry Abhi, but We had to do it for your sake", Purab tried to defend us.
"As if you all had no other choice", he mocked us.
" listen Abhi, it was all Dadi's plan", Purab told him everything from my accident to the recent concert.
There was silence in the room and tears in his eyes along with mine and purab's.
"Dadi planned all this?", he asked shocked with his voice trembling.
"None of you wanted to tell me the truth, not even dadi. I heard trust is to be earned. What should I do to earn all your trust", he asked looking at us. " not even when Bulbul died, not even when Sarla maa was paralysed", he gave us an accused look.
"We were not in a position to tell you Abhi, you were believing Tanu, everytime we wanted to tell... ", Purab tried to explain.
"Not more than dadi..", Abhi intervened Purab's explanation.
There was silence again. I look at Purab and see him looking at him with guilt.
Me and Purab took turns to make him understand how we were left with no other choice then to do all this.
------
"Okay fine! You all did this for me, Thank you and for god sake don't do this again", he said wiping his tears.
It took almost an hour for him to say this.
"Love you, abhi", Purab hugged him before leaving.
"Love you too, Purab, but remember love is not enough, you all need to trust me.", he said looking at me.
" I will leave too", I said looking at him and he nodded in acceptance.
"Fuggy", he called me and I turned back to face him.
"Don't think I will let this go, I will get my revenge for all this in my way", he said with a sly grin.
"Be ready for it", he said further as I look at him shocked.
"Bye..", he winks at me and I blush understanding his deeper meaning.
