Prachi came inside the house to find her mother waiting for her
She came n hugged her
Pragya smiled and gave her water
She noticed that she was lost in thoughts she snapped her fingers in front of her it successfully brought her out of her thoughts but before pragya could ask her anything she noticed handkerchief around her hand and asks what happened n how she got injured
Prachi says nothing it's just a small wound It will be ok by morning
But pragya insists on doing her first aid at last prachi gives up
Pragya while bandaging her wound asks her how it happened and whose handkerchief it was (as she knew prachi hates men n doesn't have a single male friend n with her colleagues she talks just for work) but prachi stays silent
Pragya completes her first aid,cups her face and asks her what happened to which prachi asks why some people doesn't care for us even after being related to us but people who are not even related cares for us even after being strangers??
To which pragya gets stunned n asks what she means
Prachi narrates the incident to her
Which makes pragya adore the boy who saved her daughter risking his own life and somewhere brought out her daughter's emotions that she was hiding for so long
Her trance was broken by prachi
Whose next words left her stunned and emotional
Prachi being lost in her thoughts asked her why her father was not like the boy who saved her why he forgot them left them alone even after being their own where as he was not even related to her yet stood by her she stopped suddenly as she realised what she just said
She looked at her mother who was teary eyed she just hugged her tightly n left from there
Rachna who had came down to take down water heard everything and went to pragya who was standing there pragya hugged her tightly n said she wants her daughter's happiness back but she knows that prachi will never forgive abhi as he has not only hurted her mother n her but also destroyed her trust in people n cries rachna Pats her back n says I guess something good is gonna happen pragya breaks the hug and asks what does she mean?
Rachna tells her that from childhood prachi kept her feelings inside her she neither questioned about her father nor talked a word about him we all know how much she hates abhi even after us making her understand
But today she literally spoke about him on her own that boy surely affected her perception towards men his behaviour towards her made her question herself her vision towards people
I just hope prachi gets her happiness back because we haven't seen her smiling genuinely for years neither her being emotional till today she just tried to be strong n strict,took decision from her mind but today she was speaking her heart.i surely want to meet this boy and thank him for everything he did for prachi and indirectly for them
Pragya just smiled amid her tears thinking to thanking the boy and also unite father and daughter but abhi's words rang in her earsPrachi came in her room n kept her bag aside n went to freshen up she took a cold shower to cool down her mind
She came out wearing her night dress she sat on her bed thinking about the day
She was affected by the incident. for the last 24 years specially after that incident she made herself into a stone not letting anyone affect her hurt her but today not her mind but her heart was touched she first time saw concern in a men's eyes she never trusted men bcauz she thought her father was not Trustable.aakash her chachu was the only men she talked freely.With all other men it was just a professional relationship she dint talk to anyone without work she never saw that concern for others there was something else also that was attracting her towards him her heart first time told her to trust someone but in her mind it was just that her mother did everything for her father yet he broke her trust abandoned her
She shook her head and told herself not to fall weak n stay the way you are don't trust anyone because they will just break you and go away she went to her bed n soon drifted into sleepNext morning she came down to see her family having breakfast disussing something they all were tensed
She asked that what happened
Aakash told her that they are shifting to Delhi
Floor slipped beneath her feet she never wanted to go to Delhi as she hated that place which gave her mother her family a lot of pain
Her face hardened but before she could say anything Aakash told her that they don't have any option and have to go there left with no option she finally agreed
She thought of joining a hospital there
And make herself busy in work
They all boarded a flight next day to Delhi
They all stepped out with different thoughts shahana being excited to see delhi
Pragya hoping for all the misunderstandings to get solved and her family gets United
Akash and rachna gets emotional remembering their past memories and hurt their so called family gave to them
Prachi thinking to never see her father who hurted her mother and destroyed their happiness
But unknown to them a new chapter has already started in their lifeWhere will it lead them to???
Note:Pragya after separating from abhi came to Mumbai with rachna and akash and they were living there for last 24 years and now they r back to delhi
