KUCH TOH THA

Chapter 2

ABHI’S view:

When I was standing in a pitch dark surface all alone I heard an angelic voice “come to me”. I turned around & saw Pragya smiling & standing with her open arms. I ran to her. She initiated the kiss. We were kissing madly. Just Kissing wasn’t enough for me. I want her in all means. I’m desiring her like never before. I traced her back & loosened the knot of her blouse. I kissed her collarbone by making her blouse aside. She was clenching on me. I bit her neck a lil. Her skin tastes earthy. Cuz of her body wash maybe. I squeezed her hips in one hand & another one reached the clasp of her bra. But suddenly I heard her muffled sobs. She face palmed herself & sobbing, she mumbled “you rejected me abhi”.

Without another word she ran away crying. “what?! No! Pragya! Please Pragya! Don’t leave me” screaming this I ran behind her.

Then out of the blue Tanu came. “you’re a loser Abhi” she yelled & laughed vigorously. Kissed some douchebag infront of me. I was disgusted. And then suddenly I fell off from a cliff. “Abhi hold on to me” I heard pragya. I know she will come. Then my hands were searching for pragya. When she was ‘bout to give her hand to me, Aman snatched it from me. “Pragya is mine! Don’t you dare mf”.

Lastly I heard mom.

“Abhi! Abhi! wake up”. Sweating profusely I woke up. Thinking of last night & my vivid dream I was horrified as hell. After pragya left I continued to drinking till I passed out. I again heard “Abhi! We really need to talk” probably someone is at the door, I thought. Sounds like mom only. I reached the door & opened for her. When she saw me, the vulnerable Me, she hugged me without a word. “Abhi let’s go inside. We should talk. About pragya” saying this she dragged me inside. Why mom want to talk about pragya to me? We shouldn’t! I vowed to myself. She is Married now. I shouldn’t even think of her. Mom made me sit on the bed & along with me she sat on the edge of the bed holding my hands.

“Abhi I wanted to talk about pragya. Pragya & Aman’s wedding.. were…” when she was nervously mumbling this I cut her off “mom! Please not in a mood to hear about the wedding rituals” I blurt out.

Cuz I really don’t want to hear. From yesterday night she’s plaguing my thoughts. The most wanted thing to me now is SHE. FUCK! SHE ONLY. I literally forgot ‘bout that bitch tanu. Thinking this he let out a chuckle. Cuz pragya doesn’t like cursing. (But Ishani, Abhi’s mom confused hearing his chuckle).

Brushing it off she again started to tell him “Abhi listen” but she couldn’t continue. I again cut off & say her “I’ve this thudding headache mom. I need to get over this hangover first” saying this I dragged her to the door, hugging her I told her that “I need sometime mom. Understand”. “Everything will be fine abhi” she hugged back & left. Tomorrow is our graduation day. How am I suppose to face her with Aman? I can’t. I really can’t. That skank would be there with her shitty bf. But who really cares? PRAGYA PRAGYA PRAGYA! I punched my bed & collapsed on it.

PRAGYA’s view:

It’s past 11 in the morning. I didn’t get out my room from last night. I was standing in the balcony holding the rails I thought of Abhi. My Abhi. Then I heard Robin’s knock on the door. I went to check with Robin.

“Mam! Mrs. Mehra is here to see you” Robin tells me. “Make her to sit & prepare a coffce. II be there in 10” I tell.

I’ve to take a quick shower first before talking to Ammu (Pragya calls Ishani as ammu dearly). I go  downstairs. Her face is pale. For some reasons she didn’t have her coffee yet. It was still there on the table. I go & sit besides her holding her hand. She flashed a smile.

“Ammu I’ve tell you something. There’s this offer from a UK based company. Gonna accept it. Will apply for the Visa. I might get it in a month. Wanna move to London. You should take care of yourself. I will call you daily. I will always check on you” smiling back I tell her. Hearing this Ishani’s face falls. But she knows pragya has to move on.

“Pragya ,I tried to talk to Abhi. He isn’t listening anything Sorry pragya” Ishani confesses guiltily.
Hearing this my heart broke more. Thinking he doesn’t even want to  talk about me . It’s better that i go away from him. Faking a smile, I continued “Ammu it’s okay. We have nothing to talk about it. Tomorrow is our graduation day. I will surely go. I need all Documents to apply for Visa. My company will take care of other paper works. I will be fine there Ammu, I reassuringly tell ammu.

“Pragya always remember you’ve this ammu at one call” saying this Ishani tights her hold on my hand. “Accha I will send driver for you tomorrow to drop you & pick you up for college” ishani adds.

“Ammu, Aman is coming. He will take care of that” I reply calmly.

“Aman is such a accha ladka. After everything he’s still there for you!” saying this she lets out a sigh.
I know what that sigh meant!
