Thanks to all for voting and commenting on the previous part.

"It's no big deal. Relax." Abhishek tells her on the phone.

"What if they arrest you?" Pragya asks him worriedly as she cried.

"I already spoke to my lawyer. I spoke to the police. It's all under control. The hotel filed the case because it happened in their premise." Abhishek explains to her.

"I don't want you to go to jail. I'll come and tell the police the truth." Pragya tells him as she broke into tears.

"Pragya, I am not going to jail. Can you stop crying?"

"What if..."

"Listen, my lawyer is handling it. I'll take care of it. there is nothing to be worried about."

"I want to see you."

"I'll see you tomorrow afternoon."

"No, I want to see you now."

"Have you gone out of your mind? what is up with you?" Abhishek asks exasperated. "Didn't you make me promise that your parents will never find out about us?"

"I want to see you!" Pragya stubbornly insists.

"Fine! I'll see you tomorrow morning outside your college, before I go to office."

"Okay."

"Now, for God sake, stop crying!"

*********

Pragya hugs Abhishek tight.

"What's up with you, Pragya?" Abhishek asks her in a gentle rebuking tone as he hugged her.

"I'm scared, Abhishek."

"I'll be fine, baby."

"We'll go tell the police everything." Pragya tells him.

"There is no need for that. I'll take care of it."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

"Promise you won't go to jail."

Abhishek rolls his eyes. "I won't if I can help it!"

Pragya hits him hearing that.

"Now, go to class. You'll be late."

Later, Pragya was in class when she gets a message from Abhishek.

Dad came. He said he spoke with that asshole and he has sorted it out. There won't be any case. Now, relax.

Pragya sighs in relief. Thank God.

He might be scared that you would file a case against him. so, he might be too eager to get to an out of court settlement than me.

Whatever the reason be, I am glad it is over.

Don't know, why you got so worked up about such a small issue!

Because I love you. Pragya wanted to tell him that but she didn't have the courage to do so. Unless he tells her that he loves her, she wasn't going to tell him her love.

*********

My last period is free. So, should I wait or go home?

Pragya messages Abhishek as she walked out of the class.

A minute later, he replies. Will book you uber. I'll see you at the flat.

Pragya smiles. Okay.

*********

Pragya was sitting on the couch and reading her text book when she hears the key turn. She looks up and sees Abhishek walk in.

Pragya smiles happily seeing him. "You left office early?"

"Yeah... give me 10 mins, I got some work." Abhishek tells her.

"Okay... I'll study then... sit with me."

Abhishek sits next to her and taking out his laptop, he starts working. Pragya lies on the edge of his lap and got back to reading her text book.

*********

Pragya sits up in shock as she looked at Abhishek. "What time is it?"

Abhishek checks his watch. "It's late. You better get going."

"Yeah. I lost track of time." Pragya tells him. "I wanted to finish this portion and was so engrossed. Even you didn't say anything."

"Even I was busy." Abhishek tells her as he took his mobile to book her ride.

"Okay, I'll go wait downstairs. Just inform me when he reaches." Pragya tells him as she kissed his cheek and wore her sandals.

"Bye." Abhishek says as he kissed her cheek. "Do you want me to drop you?"

"No, it's okay." Pragya tells him as she hurried out. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay."

*********

Pragya looks at the calendar as she stared at the date. She couldn't ignore it anymore and assume that she was just late. She should have got her periods 10 days ago.

Heart slamming against her chest, she walks to the medical store.
