CHAPTER:3
Pragya was resting on the hospital bed once everyone left before few minutes as per doctor's advice.Though she wants to sleep as she felt her whole left side paining ,the pain she saw in Abhi's eyes when she said she will give divorce and make daadi agree for his and Tanu's marriage kept disturbing her.She was really confused to see his pain when he must be celebrating the news.She know Abhi cares for her and saved her from the goons.But she also know it was only for daadi and her family coz apart from that Abhi has no reason to care for her right?
''Maybe he was falling in love me''thought pragya with a smile .But after few seconds she shook her head .
''Pragya tum bhi na.There is no way Abhishekh has feelings for me.Infact he hates even seeing me in the house and was eager to make youleave his life.He is in love with Tanu and going to marry her soon.so stop dreaming again and safe yourself from more heartbreaks''said Pragya to herself and closed her eyes hoping sleep will embrace her soon.After few minutes she went into a dreamless sleep from the effect of the sleeping medictions.
*******************
Abhi entered pragya's room after few hours and his rage and pain from betrayal vanished seeing the sleeping form of his wife as a small smile formed on his lips automatically. He felt like a fool for not realising soon how much importance pragya holds in his life and how strong he feels for her.He walked towards her bed and sat on the chair and rolled his eyes seeing his chasmish sleep with her chasma.
''Yeh chasmish toh bilkul pagal hai''said Abhi and gently removed her chasma and kissed her forehead.
''Just get well soon fuggy .Then i will make you realise how much i love you and how much i am lucky to be loved by you''said Abhi and rested his head on the bed clutching her head in his.And after few miutes he closed his eyes and slept dreaming of his fuggy wife.
Pragya opened his eyes waking up from her sleep and was confused to see everything appeared blur and searched for her chasma and wore it.As she tried to lift her right hand and found it in a tight grip of a very familiar warm hands.Pragya looked down and saw Abhi sleeping keeping their joined hand near his chest.This bought a smile on pragya's face seeing him sleeping like a child and she gently caressed his forehead .Abhi slowly opened his eyes and looked at pragya who was looking at him with a smile and smiled back.
''Hey fuggy .How are you feeling?''asked Abhi with a smile rubbing his eyes.
''I am alright but what are you doing here.I though you left to see Tanu ''asked pragya and Abhi's heart pained to hear her taking casually about Tanu even though he can see her hurt in her eyes and voice which she was trying to hide.
''Hey fuggy i am here to take care of my wife and you keep on questioning me.When you can take a bullet for me.Can't i atleast take care of you?''asked Abhi and Pragya looked at Abhi in shock but his seriousness in his voice.
''No i didn't mean like that.But i thought you will be making plans for the wedding ''said pragya and Abhi cupped her face .
''Pragya listen to me carefully coz i am not going to repeat this again.I broke all the relation with Tanu yesterday and never going to take her back.I know we never had a good relation and i was a worst husband but i promise you pragya from today i will try to be a good husband .I want to give this marriage a chance and you to give me another chance.I know pragya i hurted you a lot in the past but i am ready to do whatever you say to make it up to you.so pragya will you give me and this marriage another chance?''asked Abhi with a hopeful smile while pragya kept looking him shock.
She can't belive what she was hearing and thought she was dreaming.Pragya was confused what made Abhi to give a speech like this when he was planing to marry Tanu before 2 days.She can see from his eyes that Abhi is saying the truth and thought why he doing all this.Then the reality or what she thought as really hit her.GUILT.He was feeling guilt thinking he was responsible for her condition and doing all this or that's what pragya thought.
''Abhishekh i know why are you doing all this.But you don't have to do anything like what you said just because you are feeling guilty for my condition.Its not your fault for whatever happend .so please don't do something which you will regret later coz i know you love Tanu and you will be only happy with her.so please Abhi stop all this.once purab and Bulbul's marriage happens i will give you divorce as you said and we will go in our own and separate ways .Me being tha simple professor and you being the happy , jovial rockstart''said pragya but Abhi was really getting angry by seeing her selflessness which started to irrtiate him.
''Oh god fuggy why can't you see what is infront of your eyes.I know you are not good in romance but i can't believe are zero in this.Do you really think i am saying all this just coz i am feeling guity pragya?Even though it true how can you let me go easily when you are in love with me dammit''asked Abhi and pragya looked at him in shock .
''Why are you looking at me like this ?I know everything fuggy.I read your letter last night.so tell me how could you let me go when you love me''asked Abhi and pragya looked him with teary eyes.
''When you love someone more than yourself you will do anything to see them happy Abhishekh.Even if who have to let them go or see with someone else and even if it hurts like hell''said pragya looking Abhi with love and pain in her eyes.
''Well you may be a mahan to do something like that.But i am a selfish guy and i will never allow the love of my life to leave me so you are not giving me divorce coz its not necessary anymore''said Abhi and pragya looked at him in shock understanding the meaning of his words.
''Did you just say that you love me''asked pragya in a low voice.
''Haan fuddy that's what i said.I am in love with you.Yes it took me time to realise this but i am glad that atleast i realised it now.Otherwise i would have a lost a great girl like you.I love you fuggy so please don't talk about leaving me''said Abhi and pulled pragya into a hug.Pragya was shocked that she can't even respond to the hug.But after few seconds pragya smiled as tears of joy followed from her eyes and hugged Abhi tightly.
''I love you fuggy''said Abhi and kissed on the top of her head.
''I love you too Abhishekh.I love you so much''said Pragya with a smile.Both of them stayed like this for few minutes feeling content in each others arms .After few seconds Abhi wiped the tears from his eyes and pulled pragya out of his hug.
''Yaar fuggy you spoiled my plan once again''said Abhi with an irritated face and pragya looked with confusion.
''What plan?''asked pragya with confusion.
''Well my plan of proposing to you like a rockstar.In the center of the room decorated with roses and candle and romantic music playing in the background.But asusual you poured water on my plans by making me emotional''exclamied Abhi.But pragya just smiled at him .
''I don't need these things Abhishekh''said pragya with a smile.
''What?Now don't tell me you don't like roses,candles too''said Abhi .
''Nehi.I like them all but i love you more than them and hearing those three words from you is enough for me.Even if i was in a desert now i would be the most happiest person alive to be loved by you''said pragya with a smile and Abhi felt liked to get lost in her eyes which only showed love for him.He never in his life thought that someone will love him just for his heart and not fot his money or fame.Seeing the love this girl had for him bought tears to his eyes.
''See fuggy you are making me emotion again.''said Abhi with a smile and wiped his moist eyes.While pragya laughed at this and Abhi too joined with her after few seconds.This is how Purab and Bulbul found their di and jiju /best friend and smiled as their realised and confessed the love to one another finally.
***************
Abhi who went to get pragya's discharge form entered her room only to find Bulbul and Pragya arguing about something while others watched both of them helplessly.
''Di please stop acting stubborn like a child and do what i say''said Bulbul but pragya shook her head negatively.
''No Bulbul i am not going to use that thing and that's final''said pragya and crossed her hands on her chest like a child.
''But di...''started Bulbul but Abhi spoke looking at both the sisters.
''What are you both arguing about?''asked Abhi and Bulbul was the one to replay.
''Jiju doctor said that di may feel pain if she when she walks for couple of days and adviced her to have this wheel chair.But she is so stubborn on not using it''said Bulbul while pragya glared at her.
''Arrey Bulbul when i am here why are thinking of using wheel chair when your rockstar Jiju is here''said Abhi with one of his charming smile.
''What are you going to do now?''asked pragya but Abhi walked towards her and lifted her in his arms and pragya let out a small scream and encircled her hands around his shoulder while other smiled at the lovely couple.
''Abhi what are you doing?.Everyone is looking at us''said Pragya as Abhi continued to walk on the corridor .
''What i am doing?Well for your information fuggy i am carrying my wife who is injured .And about the people who are seeing us,let them see and they will know how much this rockstar cares for his fuggy wife''said Abhi with a smile and pragya looked at Abhi with a lovely expression seeing this side of Abhi.
Once they reached the car Abhi carefully made Pragya sit in the back seat and sat beside her and closed the door.
''Abhi who will drive the car if you are sitting with me?''asked pragya.
''I have put the car in auto pilot''said Abhi and pragya gave him a look.
''Then what fuggy ofcourse someone will drive.I am not going to leave your side till you get well''said Abhi.Before pragya could replay purab and Bulbul entered the car and Purab started the car and drove to thier house while others follows in another car.
****************
When they reached the Mehra mansion Abhi found pragya sleeping resting her head on his shoulder.Abhi carefully lifted her without disturbing her sleep and entered the house while Pragya rested her head on his chest.As he entered the house he saw Aaliya and Tanu sitting on the sofa and Abhi started feel the same anger which he felt this morning but controlled himslef once he looked at pragya in him arms and continued to walk to his room leaving his sister and ex-girl friend in shock.
Once Abhi reached his room he softly placed pragya on the bed and covered her with a blanket and switched on the fan.Then he placed a kiss on her forehead and left the room closing the door to care of the two women who betrayed his trust.
*******************
As Abhi reached the hall Aaliya stood up from the sofa and walked towards him
''Bhai thank god you and bhabhi are ok.I was so worried when i came to know she was shot''said Aaliya and Abhi fisted his hands to control his anger.
''Really Aaliya?''asked Abhi and Aaliya nodded.
''ofcourse bhai.How i cannot worry when she is in danger''said Aaliya.
''Then why you didn't come to hospital to visit her even once?''asked Abhi and Aaliya kept silent for few seconds not able to answer.
Actually bhai Tanu was worried about something so i was with her to give some comfort''said Aaliya.
''Oh about what she worried?Was she worried that pragya may return home fit and fine or maybe her involvement with you in pragya's kidnapping''asked Aaliya shocking both her and Tanu with others .
''Bhai what are you saying?''asked Aaliya but Abhi already had enough.
''ENOUGH AALIYA.Enough with your lies and acting coz i now know how manupulative and cheap my sister is.I know you and Tanu helped Neel to kidnap Bulbul but they kidnapped my Pragya.And don't even think of creating another story coz i heard all this with my own ears when you and Tanu was talking about this in her apartment this morning''said Abhi while Taaliya stood there in shock.
THE SAME MORNING:
After Abhi left pragya's room he decided to visit Neel in the police station to know who was involved in this kidnapping .Once he reached the station he himself started to beat Neel black and blue and finally Neel told name of the two women which was none other than his ex girlfriend's and his sister's .Abhi immediately left the police station to visit Tanu to confirm it as he can't reach Aaliya's number.Once Abhi came to Tanu's apartment he took the spare key he had with him and opened the door.He then walked towards her bedroom only to stop outside in his track by what he heard next.
''God Aaliya what is wrong with Abhi .Still yesterday he wanted that behanji out of his life but today he risked his own life to save him.what if that behanji informs everyone that we both are involved it this.''asked Tanu and Abhi can't believe his own ears.
''I know Tanu,but its all coz you .If you didn't visit that behanji and told her everything we would have escaped''said Aaliya.
''I know Aaliya i did a mistake but how will know she will be saved but Abhi''said Tanu.
''Its ok Tanu even though that behanji informs bhai about this i am sure he will never belive her coz he thinks that i have changed and decided to leave purab.He will not doubt me like when i pushed Bulbul into the swimming pool .And i am sure he will never doubt you .I mean think Tanu when bhai came to know about my involvement in the MMS problem he didn't doubt eventhough you are the one who send daadi that MMS''said Aaliya and Abhi felt like someone was pouring Acid in his heart hearing the words of Aaliya.
''But Aaliya that was before the break up,but now i don't think he will believe me.''said Tanu .
''Oh come on Tanu if he belives that behanji then we will do something else.Tanu bhai still belives that you are the one who let him out of the jail by providing the evidance while you stole it from behanji's mobile.so we use it aganist him and you know how bhai will react to emotional blackmail''said Aaliya and Tanu agreed.Abhi thought he heard more than enough and was about to enter the room when he received a message from Dr.siddarath about getting some medicines immediately and he left her apartment controlling his anger coz pragya is important than this now leaving the spare key behind as they was no need for it again.
*************
PRESENT:
Everyone stood in shock not able to believe what Abhi said.
''How could you Aaliya ?Even after i explained that purab is not meant for you,you stood this low to kidnap a girl who believed who changed for good.Don't you feel a little shame for what you did?''asked Abhi.
''No bhai i didn't feel shame coz i love purab and i will do anything to get him.Its all happend coz of the behanji and i will kill her if i get a chance''said Aaliya and the next moment a sharp slap landed on her cheek and Aaliya was shocked to that Bulbul was the one who slapped her.
''Don't you dare even think of harming my di again otherwise i will make your life a living hell''said Bulbul.
''Bhai how can you just stand there when she slapped me?''asked Aaliya .
''Coz Aaliya Bulbul did what i wanted to do from the moment i saw you when i entered the house.But i refined myself as it will not make any different coz you are never going to change.But let me make you something clear Aaliya if you even think of hurting my pragya or Bulbul or anyone of their family members i will make sure you will be behind the bars next time and from today your bhai is dead and i break all the relation with you''said Abhi and turned towards Tanu as Aaliya stood stunned to hear this from his bhai.
''And you today must the be last time i am sure you in this house or with any of my family members .If you think of hurting pragya again i will make your modelling career nothing but a shadow of your past.But you know what Tanu i must thank you for saying no to my marriage proposal that day coz if you said yes i could have never got a gem wife like pragya and would have regreted marrying a selfish and self cntered woman like you.so really thanks for that.Now go out of my house now.''said Abhi and Tanu left the house seeing his anger.
Once Tanu left the house Abhi turned towards Rabul while others left to their room .
''You both go and stay in your house for few days Bulbul coz i am sure Auntyji will have some moral support and don't worry about your di i will take good care of Fuggy''said Abhi .Though both of them wanted to protest and to take care of pragya they know that Abhigya need this privacy .
''Ok Jiju but call us if you need hel''said Bulbul and purab left the house.Abhi took a deep breath and went to his daadi's room to tell her all the truth and mistakes he made still now as he know if he wanted to start fresh with his Fuggy it must start with him telling the whole truth to his Daadi first.
*******************
A slap sound echoed in daadi's room after Abhi told everything to his daadi only to get slapped by her .Abhi didn't feel bad even a bit coz he know he deserves this.
''Today i feel ashamed to call you as my grandson Abhi.How can you even think of hurting a innocent girl like pragya like this.Bechari she hid all her pains and smiled and acted being happy just for my sake.I never though you will do something as cruel as this in my life.Only pragya's know what hell she went through when you insulted and tortured her.Its my mistake that i bought an angel like pragya in your life .Abhi from this moment think that your daadi died and all the relation between us is over ''said Daadi with tears in her eyes.
''Daadi please give me any punishment you want except this.Please daadi don't do this to me''said Abhi as his eyes got moist.
''No Abhi this your punishment and don't even think of talking to me till i am trust that you really changed and will treat my bahu like she deserves.Till that day i will not talk to you and you must not talk to me.Its a promise on my life''said Daadi and Abhi closed his eyes and letting the tears fall.
''Ok daadi i will do what you said and i will prove how much i love pragya and i have changed soon.''said Abhi and left the room wiping his tears.
************
Abhi entered his room closing the door and moved towards their bed and sat near pragya resting his head on the bedrest and closed his eyes and tell the tears of pain,betrayal,lonliness,regret which he keep inside him from this morning.After few seconds he felt a soft hands caressing his cheeks wiping his tears and Abhi looked down to see pragya wiping his tears.
''Abhishekh what happend?''asked pragya just to sit and Abhi immediately help her to sit up placing few pillows on her back to give her some comfort.
''Are you comforable Fuggy ?''asked Abhishekh and Pragya nodded.
''I am fine.But what happend to you and don't tell me its nothings coz i know its not''said pragya then Abhi explained everything about Taaliya's issue then about Daadi.
''Abhishekh why you said everything to Dadi i would have explained it later to her and made her understand you are not at fault''said Pragya.
''No pragya its my fault that i did whatever my sister asked without thinking twice or trying to know the truth .so its my place to tell daadi everything.But you know what hurts the most pragya,even after i did everything to Aaliya she just used me to get want she want and even lied to me .I did and got her whatever she wanted from her childhood pragya i sacrified my meal many time so that she could eat properly.I did everything to make her happy and still she broke my trust and betrayed me.I feel like a failure today pragya.I was not a perfect brother ,not a perfect grandson,not a perfect husband,not a perfect friend for purab and i am sure wherever my parents are now they will be too ashamed of me like daadi perfect i am not a perfect friend.''said Abhi and started to sob placing his head on her lap as pragya ran a hand inside his hair and rubbed other on his back as silently tears rolled down her eyes.Its broke her heart to see her Abhishekh broken like this and she wished she really know magic liked Abhi say so that she can take away his pain.After few seconds pragya wiped her tears and made Abhi sit on the bed by holding his shoulder and cupped his face wiping his tears.
''Abhishekh listen to me carefully coz i am not going to repeat this again.You are the best brother any sister would die to have.I know how much you love Aaliya and its her fault she is taking you for granted.And whatever daadi said was just coz of anger and i know she didn't meant anything she said as she know how much you love your family.And about me ,you did hurt me and insulted me in the past but its all coz of misunderstanding but even then you helped my family like none did .Even now your arranged my sister's marriage with the same guy who Aaliya want.And you came to save me not even caring for your life or safety and you support me when i wanted one.I know you too did miatakes Abhishekh but none is perfect in the world and everyone does many mistakes in their life When you realised your mistake now your are trying to rectify it and that what matters the most.And i am sure you parents will be very proud of you coz your are a great person from heart and that's the reason i fell in love with you.so stop with this self loathing speeches''said pragya and Abhi felt blessed to have a girl like her in his life.
''I love you pragya and i promise you that from this moment you will only feel happiness .Its my promise''said Abhi and pulled her into a hug carefully not hurting her healing wound .Pragya too hugged him back with a smile.
''I love you too Abhishekh''said pragya and kissed on his chest where his beating heart is and closed her eyes .Both of them stayed in eachothers arms feeling completed for the first time in their life.
-To Be Continued.
With Love,
