Akele hum akele tum (on hold)

I over think but i love also

Aaliya comes n opens door," Purab, you now, so early "
Purab: I thought I will help you gals
Aaliya: just shut up, Bhai is at home, you go now ( tries to push him out of house)
Purab:( walks in) so what, I will talk to him
Abhi( comes n seeing boy in his house at this time, gets angry) what you want to talk, that she( looks at aaliya) is your girlfriend
Pragya: whats wrong with you abhi
Abhi:(shows finger to shout her mouth) not a word Pragya, not now, so Purab what you want to talk her tell na, ha tell me( pushes him) tell me, what you want to talk
Purab: listen abhi, it's nothing like that
Abhi: oh really, just get out from here, aaliya doesn't want any boyfriend ok
Aaliya: (pushes Abhi) enough is enough Bhai, if there is no one in your life that doesn't mean I'm also living like that, I want to love n be loved but you won't understand, you are heartless, you don't feel n will never understand what it feels like in love ok, Purab is not telling you anything n tolerating all your rubbish only because he loves me ok, you don't have right to talk to him like this (Abhi walks out from there n Pragya gives tight slap to aaliya)
Pragya: Abhi is your elder brother, like your father n you don't have any right to talk to him like that ok, have some Respect for him, I had told you I will handle it, but now I'm with Abhi, (leaves n goes behind Abhi)
Purab: ( hugs) are you alright??? I think I should leave
Aaliya: no, wait, let's have lunch out, I had enough from them ( both leaves)
Here in abhi's room, he was standing in his balcony n sees aaliya n Purab leave n thinks words she said him,"you are heartless, you won't feel what is to beloved " just then Pragya entered
Pragya: Abhi, I'm sorry, it was my mistake, I knew that Purab was going to come for lunch and....
Abhi:(cuts in) pls don't make me understand, I won't understand because I don't feel like what it feels when one is in love
Pragya: aaliya didn't mean to hurt you, it's just she was too scared of you, n when you blast on Purab she just lost her cool
Abhi: that's what I will not understand I'm heartless person, that why there is no one by my side
Pragya:(puts hand on his mouth) pls don't say that,
Abhi:(seats n chair n cries) aaliya is right, there is no one in my life n I can never..
Pragya: ( cuts in) don't you dare say that again, I'm always there for you
Abhi:(still seating n hugs Pragya around her tummy n almost squeeze her) thanks for being there with me
Pragya:(in pain) ouch
(Abhi n Pragya at same time): did Angel just kicked
Abhi:( puts his head on tummy) oh yes, she kicked n still moving (kisses her on tummy)
Pragya:( almost in tears, puts her hand on tummy too, both feel angle, n their eyes get moist,)
Abhi: I have check so many patients but feeling angle is so different, it's magical
Pragya:(thinks it's right time to ask him) yes, it's amazing,( both had eye lock, Pragya was one to first come out of it). so what is this white patch on your hand
Abhi: ( lie to her) oh this, I had donated blood, at seminar in Pune, there was blood donation campaign
Pragya:( suddenly all excitement from her face fades) oh ok, I thought, it's........
Abhi: ( tried to change topic) let's go for shopping, you wanted to go by 1pm, n see it's 1pm
Pragya: no, we will go some other time
Abhi: what happened, I should be one making drama n you should be making me agree for going out n refresh but here is everything opposite
Pragya: ok fine, lets go
In car, Pragya was silent n thinking,"why I was so disappointed when abhi told that patch was of blood donation,"
Abhi: hello, I asked you 2times do you want to eat subway or want to go shopping first
Pragya: I'm not hungry now, let's do shopping first
Both go to maternity clothes shop
Abhi: take these, I think these are better then what you picked
Pragya: no, I think washable Brest pads are better n environment friendly, what you are holding is disposable ones
Abhi: so that's better then washable, disposable are more soft n comfortable, washable ones will lose its softness after 2-3 wash,
Pragya: ok, you win but I will buy both
Abhi: ok, n what about this pants it's looks fantastic to me
Pragya: are you sure?? It's too big for me, I guess??
Abhi: it will fit you just fine, try it
Pragya goes to trial room, salesgirl comes to abhi n says," I have never seen such cute couple, normally wife buys n husband pays bill that's it, but you n your wife are so cutely arguing about little things "
Abhi tried hard not to show but couldn't help it n was blushing red,"thanks but she is not my wife, we are friends, best friends "
Salesgirl: sorry sir, I thought maybe, I'm sorry once again
Pragya:( just then comes out) sorry for what???
Abhi: nothing, you tell me, is fit fine?
Pragya: ya, it's perfect, but how do you know that it will fit me, have you opened new business of tailoring
Abhi: no, I'm still only doctor (laughs)
Pragya: let's go, I'm really hungry now ( both leaves )
It's been month, since Purab thing happened, abhi n aaliya were back to normal both apologies to each other, all Thanks to Pragya n Abhi had asked her that he wanted to meet Purab n his parents, by now Pragya was 22 weeks, she had gain considerable weight, mainly around tummy but she had water retention n swelling, she looked like she was more then 7months pregnant,
Today finally Purab was going to come with his family for dinner, Pragya was preparing dinner n aaliya was helping, abhi just came from clinic early around 6pm
Abhi: ( enters kitchen) hey gals, need help
Pragya: pls no, you will double our work ok
Aaliya: ya Bhai, you can't boil even water, so pls let it be
Abhi: I can make dough for you,(looks pouting at Pragya) pls its not good for you, this will give pressure on tummy, ( stands behind her n stretch arm to make dough)n you aaliya arrange dinner table n flowers in vase ok
Pragya:(holds herself as she was about to melt in his arms, his hot breath, n his body as touched her, she was having goose bumps) let it be abhi, I will manage
Abhi:( still unknown how this was affecting her, he was thinking this moment never ends) no I want to help ( he starts kneading dough, while Pragya was still in front of him)
Pragya:( tries to move, n losses her balance, abhi caught her n they share eye lock, while there was flour all over them n floor)
Aaliya comes running to kitchen hearing all that noise n sees abhi n Pragya n mess they made n starts to panic," both of you, look what have you both have done, they could be coming any minute n this mess"
Hearing aaliya both come to their sense, n listen to her like small kids caught stealing chocolates," don't worry, you go n get ready, I will manage" said Pragya assuring her that everything will be fine n abhi also helped her to clean
After almost hour, Purab arrived with his mother, n abhi welcome them, Purab's mom, were looking little uncomfortable looking at Pragya, then it click to abhi that he had not introduce her," she is Pragya my bestie n today all arrangements are made by her, right From starter to dessert" gives her side hug
Purab's mom: oh, so she came down to help you guys
Abhi: no, she stays with us, here only
Mom: what here?? N her husband ???
Abhi: he is no more
Mom: n this baby( she was taunting as in she conceive after suresh death)
( Pragya can not take all this well n excused herself n went to her room)
Abhi: (gets annoyed by aunty's words) we are here to discuss about aaliya n Purab but it seems you are more interested in talking about Pragya
Mom:( feels insulted but let it go for Purab sake) it's nothing like that, I was just curious that after aaliya's marriage, how will pragya
Abhi: ( cuts in) what do you mean???
Mom: I think you should get married, ( abhi's pulse rises, as he thinks she meant marry Pragya) then you n your wife can take care of Pragya
Aaliya: auntyji you are right, after I get married, Bhai should also get married
Abhi: what ???? I'm not getting married,
Mom: arre, beta, you know Tanu, she is my daughter n likes you a lot, she always talks about you n how responsible n loving person you are, I think you are perfect for her
Abhi: what??? How can that b possible, she lives with her father n I never hear from her about having mother or brother
Mom: we don't stay together, I n Mr Khanna are divorced, so she stays with her dad n Purab stays with me, but we meet once in week, n from past few weeks I have heard only your name, so I came today to talk about, aaliya n Purab and your n Tanu alliance
Abhi: I'm sorry auntyji, but cannot marry Tanu, I don't love her
Aaliya: what Bhai, you will fall in love with her after marriage, there are two types of people, who first love n then get married n others first get married n then fall in love
Abhi: there are third kind of people also, who fall in love but never get married ( excused himself n leaves, he goes straight to Pragya room to check on her)
Pragya in her room, was sitting on arm chair, putting one hand on her tummy n thinking
" why this is happening to me, why I melt, the moment abhi comes near me, did I forget suresh so soon, did I ever actually loved suresh truly or its was just compromise, wife duty that I fulfilled, why I never felt the way I felt for abhi, when he comes near me, when he touches me, when he says that's my girl, why????"
Abhi: Pragya, may I come it
Pragya: ( opens her eyes) ya, you no need to ask that
Abhi: I need to ask you something
Pragya: what???
Abhi: first you promise me, that you will be my friend for always n forever n will not leave me, no matter whatever your answer is?? Ok
Pragya:( heart beat rises, n thinks does he going to propose me) ya sure
Abhi: aaliya will be married in next month or two, only you n me, will be there in This house, is it ok for you to manage, as aaliya n Purab's mom think I should get married to Tanu n then she will take care of you
Pragya:(shocked, as it is she hated Tanu) its up to you if you want to marry Tanu, then go ahead n marry her but you don't have to marry her to take care of me, I can manage myself every well ok
Abhi:(kisses her forehead) thanks
Pragya: for what
Abhi: for being there with me by my side, even I was thinking not to get married, but at same time I was worried that after aaliya, you will also leave me, as it may be awkward for you to stay with me
Pragya: why would I feel awkward, I don't care what society thinks
Abhi: then why you came up here
Pragya: it's your family matter n I didn't wanted to interfere
Abhi: it's never you or your it's been always our, aaliya is our family (gives side hug) come down, have dinner with us n both leaves
At dinner table
Purab's mom was continuously looking at Pragya, Purab whisper to her,"mom what wrong, why you are looking at her like this"
"I was just thinking how can one be so shameless" n finishes her last bite
Purab: ( looks at Pragya) food was great Di, I loved it
Pragya: ( smiled) thanks, hope auntyji also like it
Mom: it's good, but Tanu makes it best
Pragya: sure, she must be
Abhi: so did you have finalise any date
Mom: ya, one is after 10 days n other is after 2 months
Abhi: is there any date after 5-6 months
Purab: ya Bhai there is one after 7 months
Abhi: it's perfect, will keep marriage after 7 months, you'll can engaged next week n marriage after 7 months, by that time Pragya will also deliver, n angle will be around 1-2 months old, it will be easy for Pragya
Mom: no no no, 7 months is too much, we can't wait for so long
Aaliya: auntyji it's perfect by that time even our exam n all will be sorted n Pragya can also enjoy with angle
Mom: who is angle???
Abhi n aaliya n Purab together "Pragya unborn child, she named her angle"
Mom:( thinks all three are mad, n Purab is also going to join them in madness) ok, so when is your due date
Abhi: it's on our birthday
Mom:( what the hell, abhi is so madly in love with Pragya, how will Tanu fit in his life) wow that's great, but 7 months is too much, I think after 2 months is perfect, you'll can study after marriage
Abhi: but Pragya, she will b 8-9 months, she needs to rest, how will she manage n she....
Mom:( gets angry n cuts in) why don't you just marry her n be with her 24*7, everything else can wait right??
Abhi: maybe thats why MR Khanna divorce you, you are so insensitive,
Purab: that's it, you can't talk to my mom like that, it's true I love aaliya but that doesn't mean I will take all this
Aaliya: she is right, why are you so much concern about Pragya that you are ready to spoil my relation with Purab,
Abhi:( joints hands) I'm sorry auntyji, I just wanted to tell, how my words hurt you, same way your words hurts me n Pragya too, we are friends, is this relation is not enough to give me right on her, isn't she had enough in her life,??
Pragya was in shocked to hear all this n soon start crying, abhi n aaliya try to console her while Purab ask his mother to apologise

Hope you like it
Happy reading
