Say You Love Me

Hearing the door bell, Pragya quickly opens the door knowing who would it be.

"Hey." Abhishek says smiling at her. "What's up? Why did you ask me to come?"

"Come inside." Pragya tells him as she opened the door wide for him.

Abhishek walks in following her.

"How are the preps going?" Pragya asks him conversationally as she gathered her courage to ask him what she wanted from him.

"Fine... I guess." Abhishek says a little disinterestedly.

"Hmmm."

"What hmmm?" Abhishek asks a little irately.

"Nothing." Pragya says shaking her head as she gestured him to sit.

Sighing loudly, Abhishek sits on her couch and curiously looks around her studio flat. It looked messy and disorganized, unlike her usual organized self.

"Everything alright?" Abhishek asks her curiously.

"Yeah... all fine."

"Hmmm."

"What hmmm?"

"Nothing." Abhishek says shrugging. "Why is your flat in a mess?" Abhishek asks unable to hide his curiosity.

"I've been a little distracted." Pragya replies a little vaguely as she quickly grabbed all the magazines on the table and neatly stacked it up.

"About what?" Abhishek asks unable to hide his excitement. His heart doing a happy jig.

"About me." Pragya quickly says realizing where his thoughts were going as she studied her nails.

"What about you?" Abhishek ask with a little frown as his excitement died down.

"I've been thinking about my future." Pragya tells him still not looking at his eyes.

"What about it?" Abhishek asks as his heart started beating faster.

"I can't live alone forever." Pragya tells him hesitantly.

"Pragya... my engagement is in a month's time... but I can still call..." Abhishek quickly starts to tell her.

"I need a favor from you." Pragya quickly cuts him off.

"What favor?"

Pragya finally looks into his eyes and tells him, "I want to have a baby."

"What?" Abhishek asks as his heart skipped a beat and his breath got caught in his throat.

"I said I want to have a baby."

"Baby? You mean you want to get married?" Abhishek asks not understanding completely.

"I am never getting married." Pragya tells him in finality.

"What nonsense is this, Pragya?" Abhishek asks getting furious.

"Please, Abhishek... you are the only man I trust."

"Then you marry me. Not ask me for something so disgusting." Abhishek tells her as he stood up.

"Abhishek, I can never marry you... I can never marry anyone." Pragya tells him helplessly as she stood up.

"What the hell happened in your past, Pragya? Why the hell you never talk about it?" Abhishek asks her.

"Nothing happened. I can't handle marriages."

"I have known you since you were 14. So, please think before you lie to my face."

"Abhishek... why is it so hard for you to realize that I just don't want what a normal girl wants from her life? Why should I have a horrible past if I decide to have a baby without marriage?"
