CHAPTER:7
''Are you alright pragya?''asked Abhi and as pragya was about to nod she felt something thick sliding down on the side of her forehead and she wiped it with her finger.When she looked at what it is she saw red and the next moment she saw dark spots in her vision and darkness consumed her.
**************
Abhi who saw pragya loosing her balance immediately caught her in his arms and when he saw the blood on face he really got tensed and worried.
''Pragya open your eyes.Come on princess please''said Abhi with desperation caressing her face but Pragya didn't even stir.
''Bhai I will call the doctor now.First take bhabhi to your room.''said Akash and Abhi without wasting a moment lifted her in his arms and rushed to their room as daadi and other family members followed him worried about their pragya.
**************
As Abhi entered the room with pragya in his arms he made her lay on the bed and rushed to the bathroom and came back with a piece of cotton cloth and water in a bowl to clean her blood.
''Jiju i will clean her blood.You please calm down.I am sure di will be fine''said Rachana and Abhi sat beside pragya holding her hands as Rachana cleaned the blood from pragya's forehead.Abhi's eyes became moist seeing his wife laying on the bed unconscious as all the bad thoughts crossed his mind.He couldn't even imagine what would have happened if Akash didn't reach pragya in time.Just then he felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked back to see daadi standing there.
''She will be fine Abhi''said Daadi though she was too worried about her lovely bahu's condition.
''She should daadi''said Abhi as he know he can't live if something happens to her.
''Bhai doctor will be here in few minutes''said Akash entering the room and Abhi just gave a nod.Just then Akash saw Aaliya and Tanu entering the room and fisted his hands to control his anger seeing them here.Though he wanted to tell their truth to everyone immediately ,he know this is not the correct time as everyone was already worried about his bhabhi and he didn't want to create drama now.so he controlled himself and decided to wait for the doctor.
After few moments the doctor came and asked everyone to wait outside so that he could check her properly.
''No I am not going anywhere leaving my wife''said Abhi like a stubborn kid.
''Mr.Mehra I can understand your concern.But please understand and leave the room so i can check her properly''said the doctor and Abhi shook his head negatively as he is not ready to leave.Seeing this purab shook his head and decided to make his friend understand.
''Abhi stop being so stubborn and let the doctor do her work.I am sure di will be fine.so let her do her work and come with us''said purab and Abhi finally stood up from the bed after few moments of hesitation placing pragya's hand softly on the bed.
''Please be okay my princess''said Abhi placing a kiss on her forehead and left the room as purab literally dragged him.
**********
Once they came outside Abhi saw everyone standing with a tensed and worried face.Even Thaiji looked really concerned.Just then he saw Rachana standing beside purab and Bulbul and noticed how tired she was looking.He decided to ask her to take some rest as he know its not good to get stressed during pregnancy.
''Rachana you go and take some rest.You can see pragya once she gains conscious''said Abhi.
''No Jiju i am fine.I will take rest once i talk with di''said Rachana.
''Rachana look i know you are worried about pragya.But you have to take care of yourself too.If its for you atleast you have to do it for the baby.so now go and take rest.''said Abhi.
''Haan beta Abhi is right.You go and have rest.I will call you once pragya gains conscious''said Daadi and Rachana agreed as she can't refuse daadi's kind request.
''Okay Akash take her to your room and make sure she rests''said daadi and Akash nodded.
''Sure daadi''said Akash and looked at Rachana with hesitation.Though Rachana want to refuse she didn't want to creat a scene by arguing now and left with Akash silently.
************
Once Akash and Rachana entered Akash's room Rachana looked around the room awkwardly as she didn't really feel comfortable around him after everything happened between them.
''Take a seat Rachana''said Akash and Rachana took a seat on the couch placing a hand on her stomach.Then Akash handed her a glass of water and Rachana took it.
''Thanks''said Rachana and drank the water.Once she drank the water and Rachana started to think about Pragya and her eyes got moist as she can't see her di getting hurt again and again.She know how lovely,selfless person her di is and she know her di didn't deserve all the pain she is going through in her life.Seeing the tears in her eyes Akash sat beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder with hesitation.
''Rachana are you alright?''asked Akash and Rachana nodded her head negatively as tears started to roll down her cheek.
''Rachana what's wrong?''asked Akash as he saw the pain in her eyes.
''Why is all this happening just with my di Akash?Why?She never hurted anyone in her life.She is the most selfless person i know in my life.First her marriage got cancelled two times and once my brother too rejected her.I know how much she was hurt by the rejections she faced even she never showed it outside.She treats me like her own sister and if its not for her i would have been lost when you betrayed me.And then even jiju hurted her after the marriage because of a stupid misunderstanding.How much more pain she has to face in her life Akash.I can't see her like this Akash.It really hurt a lot''said Rachana and started to sob.Seeing this Akash hugged her without thinking and rubbed her back softly.
''Shhh Rachana.stop crying.I am sure she will be fine.''said Akash in a soft voice and Rachana calmed down after few minutes.Once she stopped crying she realised what she was doing and pulled herself out of his arms and wiped her tears.
''I am sorry.The pregnancy hormones are making me emotional these days''said Rachana.
''Its okay Rachana''said Akash and both of them sat in a awkward silence for few minutes.Then Akash remembered pragya's word about apologizing to Rachana and decided to do it now.
''Rachana I am sorry for everything''said Akash and Rachana looked his with a glare.
''I know that a sorry is not enough for what i did,but Rachana at that time i really don't know what to do.But now i know i can't live without you or our baby.So please Rachana just give me a chance and i promise you won't regret''said Akash and Rachana just looked at him quietly for few moments.
''How can i trust you again Akash.What's the proof that you won't hurt me again.You don't have any idea what i went through when you left me Akash and I am not ready to go through that pain again.''said Rachana as her eyes got moist again remembering all the insults she went through.
''Rachana i know what i did was wrong.But i want a chance to make up for all those pains i gave you and i want to be a part of our child's life more than anything.so please Rachu just give a chance''said Akash taking her hands in his and Rachana was really surprised to see the unshed tears in his eyes.
''Okay Akash i will give you another chance''said Rachana and Akash looked her with shock.
''Really?''asked Akash as he was surprised she decided to give him another chance this easily.
''Yea. Yesterday di called and informed me about how you are helping her with something and how you regert you actions.she also asked me to give you another chance as she can see how good you are from your heart.And moreover you saved her today without thinking about your life.So i will give you another chance for her.But don't make me regret this''said Rachana and Akash nodded with a smile.
''I won't Rachana.Thank you''said Akash and Rachana gave him a small smile with nod.
''Now go and see how di is doing.''said Rachana as she really wanted to know how pragya was doing.
''I will.You just relax and take some rest okay''said Akash and left the room once she gave him a assuring nod.
***********
As Akash reached Abhigya's room he saw doctor coming out of the room and Abhi rushing to her to ask about pragya's condition.
''Doctor how is she?''asked Abhi and the doctor gave him a smile.
''She is perfectly fine Mr.Mehra.The head injury is only minor and i bandaged it.But she will have a little bit of head ache once she wakes up and give her the tablet i prescribed.she will wake up within 30 minutes.''said the doctor and everyone sighed in relief except Aaliya and Tanu who are angry seeing another plan of killing pragya failed.
''So di is perfect alright?'asked purab with a smile.
''Yea.She is.Just give her these tablets once she wakes up''said the doctor forwarding a prescription which Bulbul took from her.
''I give get the medicines''said Bulbul and everyone nodded.
''I will come with you lets go''said Purab and Rabul left to get the medicines.
''Can i see her?''asked Abhi.
''Yea''said the doctor and Abhi rushed inside.
''Thank you for coming doctor''said Akash.
''Its okay.Its my duty.I will leave now and call me if you need any help''said doctor and left the house.
One the doctor left everyone went to their room with relief and deciding to meet pragya once she wakes up as they know Abhi wants to be alone with her now.
*************
As Abhi entered the room he sat beside pragya who was laying on the bed with bandage on her forehead and caressed her face softly with relief and love.He thanks all his stars for not letting anything happen to his pragya.Then he started to caress her hair softly wanting for her to wake up.
Pragya felt a strong headache when she started to gain consciousness and let a moan from the pain.Hearing her moan Abhi immediately looked at her and cupped her face seeing that she started to gain consciousness.
''Come on pragya open your eyes.''said Abhi in a soft voice and pragya finally opened her eyes and looked at Abhi.
''Hi''said pragya with a small smile and Abhi pulled her into a hug the next moment burying his face in the crook f her neck.
''I was really worried and afraid pragya''said Abhi and pragya hugged him back tightly when she heard his voice break at the end.
''Shhh Abhi I am fine and right here with you now.so stop worrying''said pragya and rubbed his back as both of them stayed in the same position for few minutes.After few minutes Abhi broke the hug and kissed pragya on the forehead.
''How are you feeling now prin...pragya?''asked Abhi and pragya noticed his slip and smiled.
''Your princess is fine Abhi''said pragya and Abhi smiled as he got the permission to call her his princess again.
''Is your head paining?''asked Abhi remembering doctor's words.
''Yea.Its paining a little bit''said pragya and Abhi stood up from the bed immediately and poured some juice which Robin bought.Then he placed the glass on the table and helped pragya to sit on the bed placing some pillows on her back.Then he sat beside her taking the juice glass in his hand.
''Come on drink this then you can have your tablets for the pain''said Abhi and helped pragya to drink the juice.Once pragya drank the juice Abhi placed the empty glass on the table and wiped her lips softly making pragya blush.Then he took the tablets and gave it to pragya which she took.
''Please don't scare me again like that princess''said Abhi taking her hand in his.
''I won't.I promise''said Pragya as she rested her head on his shoulder.Just then she remembered how Akash saved her and looked at Abhi with worry.
''Abhi is Akash fine.He didn't get hurt right?''asked pragya and Abhi smiled seeing how she was worried about others when she escaped her death just before an hour.
''He is perfectly fine.so stop worrying princess''said Abhi and pragya closed her eyes in relief and rested her head back on his shoulder.
''Shall I call others.Everyone was so worried about you and they would feel good if they saw you once''said Abhi .
''Sure Abhi call them''said pragya and Abhi called other and informed pragya is awake now.Once he informed everyone reached their room soon and started tlking with Pragya asking about her health.
***********
Pragya came out of the washroom after changing into comfortable clothes after taking a bath in the evening.Its been 3 hours since everyone left after taking with pragya and once the head ache disappeared she decided to take a bath and left to take a bath while Abhi left to see how the chandelier fell.Just then she heard shouting and rushed outside hearing purvi's voice.As she entered the hall she saw purvi standing and everyone was already present there.
''No way I am letting you see my di after what you did purvi.so leave this house this moment''said Bulbul with anger and when purvi was about to replay she saw pragya and rushed towards her ignoring Bulbul and hugged her.
''Di you are alright na?I was so worried when i came to know about the accident''said purvi and Pragya hugged her back with smile.
''I am alright purvi''said pragya and seeing this Bulbul came near them and purvi out of pragya's arms.
''Enough with your drama purvi.As i said before you better stay away from her.You even have the guts to enter this house after planning to kidnap my di haan.Its our mistake for giving so much space in our life.We should have treated you as you derserve from the begining.Not like...''shouted Bubul in anger but pragya decided she had enough and stopped Bulbul.
''Bas Bulbul you spoke enough''said pragya and Bulbul looked her.
''No di she...''started Bulbul again but pragya stopped her again.
''SHUP UP BULBUL''shouted pragya and everyone looked pragya in surprise to see the anger in her voice.
''I said you spoke enough.I can't really believe you are the one saying all this to purvi.Even after knowing her from childhood this is how you understood her.I am really ashamed of you today.''said pragya and Bulbul looked her with hurt.
''But di she is the one involved in your kidnapping''said Bulbul in a low voice.
''SHE IS NOT''shouted pragya again and immediately closed her eyes in pain as her head started to hurt from the shouting.Seeing this Abhi rushed to her immediately and held her shoulder.
''Pragya calm down.Doctor said you should not take stress for few days''said Abhi and pragya opened her and gave Abhi a small yet assuring smile.
''I am fine Abhi.But this misunderstanding have to end today''said pragya and Abhi nodded in understanding as even he can't see purvi getting blamed like this.
''Everyone listen carefully purvi is not the one behind my kidnapping.I know who the real culprit is ''said pragya and everyone including Abhi looked her with confusion.
''You know who the real culprit is?''asked Abhi and pragya nodded.
''Haan Abhi I know.''said pragya.
''Then tell us who it is pragya''said Abhi and pragya hesitated for few seconds as she can't even imagine how much pain Abhi will feel once he comes to know about Tanu and Aaliya.
''Its Aaliya and Tanu''said pragya shocking everyone except purab and Akash.
''Kya?''asked Abhi in disbelief.
''I am sorry Abhi.But its the truth.They are behind our kidnapping''said pragya .
''What the hell are you talking?Are you out of your mind.Just to save your so called purvi you are blaming us''said Aaliya in anger.Hearing this pragya glared at her and moved towards her.
''Oh really Aaliya.So you are telling me that i am blaming you both just to say my sister?''asked pragya with anger.
''Haan.What is the proof that you are saying the truth?''asked Aaliya and Tanu joined her with confidence that pragya didn't have any proof aganist them.
''If you are telling the truth then show us the proof.''said Tanu.
''If you want proof then i will''said pragya and Taaliya looked her in shock.
''Akash get the laptop''said pragya looking at Akash.
''Gi bhabhi''said Akash and came back with the laptop from his room.
''All of you see this and you guys will know who the real culprit is''said Pragya and she played th video which she recorded yesterday and everyone was shocked to see the video.Aaliya and Tanu on the other hand looked the video in shock as they never expected her to show any proof.
''So is this proof enough?''asked pragya and Taaliya gulped knowing they are caught red handed.
''I can't believe you both will do this to Abhi out of all people.I know you both won't hesitated to hurt me but after knowing Neil has Abhi too with him how could you both keep quiet.He nearly died because of it.How could you both be this this selfish and cruel?''asked pragya in anger.As Aaliya was about to replay a tight slap landed on her cheeks and everyone looked at daadi who was standing infront of Aaliya with tears and anger in her eyes.
''Not one more word Aaliya.If you speak a word again i will kill you with my bare hands.Out of all people how could you do this to Abhi.He loved you so much and treated you like his daughter and this is how you repay for his love.If its not for pragya she would be dead by now''said daadi in anger then she turned towards purab.
''Purab call the police and ask them to come here as soon as possible''said Daadi.
''Daadi please don't do this.Please i know i did a mistake but please don't put me behind the bars''asked Aaliya showing her fake tears.
''No Aaliya from today you don't belong in this house.You are dead to me from this moment.''said Daadi.
''JIJU''shouted purvi which got everyone's attention and when pragya turned she saw Abhi sitting on the stairs with a blank face and pragya to him immediately sitting beside him.
''Abhi look at me''said pragya and when Abhi looked at her her heart broke seeing the raw pain in his eyes.
''Bhabhi there is another video everyone must see''said Akash and pragya looked him with confusion.
''Another one?''asked Pragya and Akash nodded.
''Haan.The accident which happened today is actually a plan to kill you''said Akash which got Abhi's attention
''What?''asked Abhi looking at Akash.
''Haan Bhai.Look at this video you will understand everything''said Akash and he played the video he recorded today.Once Abhi saw the video he felt his boiling in anger and looked at Aaliya and Tanu which so much hate and anger which made them literally flinch.Then he got up from the stairs and walked toward Taliya.
''How dare you both even think of hurting my Pragya?''asked Abhi with anger.
''Abhi we just wanted to..''started Tanu to argue but was stopped when a tight slap landed on her cheek.Tanu stood there speechless as she never thought Abhi will raise his hands on her.
''Don't you even dare of justifying your action.I had enough with your lies and betrayals''said Abhi and then looked at Aaliya.
''From this moment you are dead to me.You are no longer a member of this family and yea don't even think i will help you this time.You are deserved to stay in jail for the rest of you life.And i will make sure you both will get the deserved punishment.I really feel ashamed to call you my sister today Aaliya''said Abhi and this is the first time Aaliya seeing her brother this angry.Just then the police entered the house.
''Inspector take them both''said Abhi and the inspector with a nod dragged both Aaliya and Tanu out of the house.Once the police left everyone stood silently not knowing what to say or do.Pragya got up from the stairs and first went to purvi.
''Purvi you go to our guest room and stay there for tonight.We can talk about everything tomorrow morning''said pragya.
''okay di''said purvi and left to the guest room.Then she saw Abhi rushing to their room.Though she wanted to follow him she saw daadi sitting on the sofa and crying silently and decided to talk to her first.
''Daadi.I know you are hurt by seeing Aaliya's true colors.But you have to stay strong daadi.If its not for you atleast for Abhi.I am sorry for doing this daadi,but i can't let them hurt anyone in our family anymore''said pragya kneeling infront of daadi and daadi looked at her with a teary face.
''Why are you apologizing my dear.Its i am who should apologize to you for Aaliya.Beta you did the right thing by exposing that selfish girl.I never thought she will be this selfish and heartless.so don't apologise for it okay''asked daadi and pragya nodded with a smile.
''Okay now go and be with Abhi.He is the one who needs you more than anyone''said daadi.
''Haan beta you go and take care of Abhi.we will be fine''said Indu daasi and pragya left to their room with a nod.
