At night,Ab : did you enjoy your day Harish
Harish frowns and says," what enjoy... everyone came with their families but I went there alone.."
Ab: sorry beta... daddy had many works today..
Ha: is work more important than me ?
Abhi remembers pragya asking the same question...to her his answer will be always a yes but he can't hurt his son by saying the same so he said," no harish....I tried to come to the carnival but "
Ha: it's okay daddy.... don't lie to me...
Abhi smiles and goes to make dinner for them...
What he heard next , shocked him to the core..
Ha: thank god...atleast pragya came there..
Purab who stepped inside the house is shocked to hear pragya's name after many years...
Pu: who came
Ha: she is a nuisance...
Pu: what
Abhi relaxes hearing that..
Ab: she is a little girl
Ha: she looks small but she is studying first year..
Ab: really?
Ha: even I am shocked...but she said me she is like her mummy...
Abhi smiles and asks," did you both fight even today"
Ha: yes..it was fun...
Saying he chuckles ...
After sometime, harish is laying between purab and abhi on the bed and says," do you know daddy...I saw her today.."
Ab: whom..
Ha: that bhuddiya
Abhi looked at him confused while purab asked," who is that"
Ha: at supermarket one aunty scolded me for calling an oldie as bhuddiya , I saw that aunty today...
Pu: she advised you but in return you are calling her as bhuddiya..
Ha: daddy gave her that name
Ab: me?
Ha: Haan.. leave that...today she was giving food to poor people...at that time I saw her..
Pu: wow...she must be a kind lady..
Ha: haan purab that's why I decided to ask sorry to her , but when I met her I again annoyed her by snatching her corn...so I will ask sorry to her the next time..
Ab: Harish, purab both of you sleep, I will come now...
Saying he left from there immediately..
Pu: where are you going at this time..
But got no reply..
Here abhi is walking on the road in heavy rain...his mind went to the past..
Flashback begins:
Abhi went to Delhi ,to investigate a case , at that time he saw a beautiful girl in white churidar walking towards him...she looked nothing less than an angel...he saw her giving food to poor kids...
