This will only be a 4 or 5 shot story.
Happy reading.

In the city of Jaipur the son crept up and shined its rays into a small 1 bedroom apartment occupied by a mother and her 2 kids.
Pragya was busy preparing breakfast for her kids, just as she was cooking she felt a pair of hand surrounding her waiste, "morning mamma" said Anu, a shy little girl.
Pragya turns around and picks her little girl up and give her a huge hug.
"How is my little baby doing?" said Pragya. " I'm not a baby mamma, i am 4 years old and i will be 5 in 3months". As they were talking they heard a voice "i think these 2 forgot that tummy needs feeding" said Aarav by rubbing his eyes.
Pragya stood and laughed, " oh my son if u go without food then i would be a terrible mother". Aarav looked at her and said " ma you couldnt be a bad mom even if u tried" . Him saying that brought tears to her eyes in knowing how much her kids loved her nd that care Aarav had for her reminded her of the care and love she left 7 years ago.
As the morning went they had there breakfast and as it was a monday the kids got done for school and Pragya got done work.
As there daily routine was always the same, they took a auto and Pragya dropped the kids at school and then she went to work.
On her way to work in the Auto Pragya was thinking about how her life changed 7 years ago and how the most important person who she trusted in her life chose his girlfriend over her. And how his one choice influenced how the last 7 years has been nothing but a nightmare!. Tears were rolling down her face as the memories came flooding back, and before she new it the auto stop and she was infront of the small boutique where she worked to earn a living to support her kids.

MUMBAI

In a big mansion a man and a little girl came running down the stairs singing, the little girl says " daddy will you pick me up after school today?" and her fathers reply " my little princess i will be busy in meetings today, but your bua Aaliyah will be fetching you from school and bringing you to daddys office, will that be ok my princess". With that the little girl nodded her head nd kissed her fathers cheek. Just as they were heading towards the dining table a man and woman came inside the house, the little girl saw them and ran towards them. As she was was running she shouted " BULBUL CHACHI, PURAB UNCLE!!!" she ran and purab picked her up and hugged her super tight. She asked them with a sad face "why the 2 of you leave without me on the airplane" bulbul and Purab looked at each other and then looked at Abhi, with that Abhi said " my baby your chachi and chacha had to go meeting and kids are not allowed there" . She looked at her father giving him a stern look but then she said " ok, but next time you should take me with you". All of them just started laughing looking at the serious expressions on Nehal's face.
They all moved towards the dining table and had there breakfast. Aaliyah, Abhis sister also came to have breakfast and Nehal went to go sit on her buas lap wanting her bua to feed her. They all were eating and having good conversation, but then all went quiet when one lady dressed in a modern dress with lots of makeup and jewelery came and sat at the breakfast table and all decided to finish there breakfast as they all were about to get up, the lady said " Abhi you should not be late tonight coz we are going to the corporate function with all the top business men tonight" Abhi looked at her and said " I have decided not to go as i want to spend time with my daughter, but you are free to go if you want". She gave him a stern look and said " i wasnt asking you, it was a order as for Nehal she can spend the night with Aaliyah as she always does. It wouldnt be any different.  Nehal gave her mother a deadly look and took her bag and walk to the door and then everyone else just followed.
They got into there respective cars and Abhi looked at Aaliyah, and without saying anything Aaliyah said " Its ok bhai you know i dnt mind spending time with princess, but i know that you hate spending time with Tanu", abhi just looked at her nd giving her a thank you look.
They dropped Nehal at school and Abhi dropped Aaliyah at her office and was headed towards his office. On his way he was thinking about Pragya who has been occupying his mind more and more everyday for the past 4 years. He was thinking where she could be and why does he get the feeling that she is not ok. He new that the decision he made 7 years ago that made him seperate from Pragya was all manipulated by his wife Tanu and for that and the fact that she is a horrible mother makes Abhi hate Tanu so much.

At Aaliyahs office she recieves a call " Hello Purab bhai, sorry we couldnt speak this morning, but you know bhai was there and then that snake Tanu came in and disrupted everyones mood. But anyway do you have any new leads on Pragya? "
Saying this she new the answer which was always the same for the past 2 years of searching for her which is always no, but this time to her suprise purub said " actually Aaliyah Pragya was seen in a small boutique in Jaipur yesterday by the investigator we hired. But he was not sure what she was doing there, because she left the boutique the moment he spotted her. She was probably there for shopping". But little do they know that Pragya was working there. Because before Pragya left she finished her degree in Teaching and she became a professor in one of the prestigious colleges in Mumbai. So they thought she would still be teaching somewhere.

Aaliyah got so excited with the news that she jumped up nd shouted nd dropped the phone, when she realised her behaviour she sat down quietly, picked up the phone nd said, " sorry Purab bhai i just got so happy i could hold it in. But what do we do now?" Purab laughed at her antics and said, " I told the investigator to find out more about her, because atleast we know where she is. Coz she is the onlyone that can bring back the happiness in Abhi bhais life, and she is the only one that can covince Abhi to leave that snake and she will protect him with her life!. Aaliyah had tears in her eyes and told Purab, " that if it wasnt for me pressuring bhai to be with Tanu and for forcing bhai to believe Tanu and for accusing Pragya of lying then Bhai would have been happy with Pragya". Purab told her it was not her fault and she must forget the past and make the futeure brighter. With saying that he told her he has to go now because Abhi just came into the office, but he will update her if he hears anything further from the investigation.

JAIPUR

Back in Jaipur, it was 5pm and Pragya was about to leave work when suddenly her boss came and told her that she could no longer keep her on because business was not so good, but she can work untill friday and that she will pay her for the week, but as of next week she shouldnt come back to work.
At that time Pragya felt like her whole world just came crashing down again, because this was the only way she can take care of her kids. Although she has a Teaching degree she is unable to find employment at any college in India due to her husband destroying her reputation and madmouthing her.
She took her bag and walked out of the store like a lifeless person, she didnt know what to do as she has no friends or family to talk to.

Pragya Pov

I have my 2 angels who depends on me, who thinks that i am there God, but all i do is let them down. I am a failure of a parent. I cant do anything right. Wheneva i love i always end up hurting my loved ones. I am cursed with love. I wish i could speak to him, i wish i could just run into his arms and he would tell me everything will be ok, but just like everything else he also left me 7 years ago calling me a liar and a cheat. I will never forget the day we parted ways.

FLASHBACK 7 years ago

" Abhi i am not lying, why would i lie to you, i wokeup this morning and found myself naked next to you, but i have no idea how i got there, my head was pounding and i couldnt remember anything. The last thing i remembered was dancing at the club with you and Purab, then i decided to get up without waking you and leave and ask you about it later " said Pragya with tears running down her flushed cheeks.
" you are lying, because when i wokeup this morning i found Tanu laying next to me in bed!" shouted Abhi. " ive made a mistake and im trying to make things right thats why i decided to marry Tanu before anything else happens. I know you do not like Tanu, but you dont have to stoop so low to get her out of my life, because she is going nowhere. "
" but Abhi i swear on my mother's life that i am not lying to you, why would i lie about something so serious?" pleaded Pragya.
" because she cannot see you happy Abhi and because she hates me that much, but i understand that she feels left out and i forgive her". Said Tanu with a smerk on her face.
" I dont need your forgiveness Tanu, all i want is for you to fuckoff so that i can speak to Abhi".
THUD! is all you could here, Abhi smacked Pragya leaving her cheeks so red. " we have been friends for years but i never thought you would stoop so low Pragya. You are a slut and a horr and I cant be Friends with a person like that. Who know who else you slept with or said you slept with to get what you want, just get out of my house and never show me your face again". With saying that Pragya turned around without saying a word and left Mehra Mansion and never looked back.
