You are really disgusting, you know that?" He yelled at her. "Abhigya was crying so much and so loudly and you were no where around! Actually, it's my mistake. I knew you disliked her alot but even I didn't think you were this inhumane! She is just a baby, Pragya!"

Pragya said nothing so he continued.

"And then you insist that I don't love you?" He said. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, Pragya, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. When you have this much hate in you, then, how will you be able to see love?"

Abhi didn't stop there.

"This was our life, Pragya! Our marriage! And you broke it!" he shouted at her. "Yeah I agree that I cheated, but you are so much worse. You killed our love! You killed the Pragya who cared and understood everything and everyone! You killed the person whom I loved unconditionally! You killed everything, Pragya! Everything! And now you've killed me and my love for you.”

He walked closer to her.                                                                                                                                                         

“If I could show you how awful you made me feel, you would never be able to look me in the eyes” Abhi said to her and then left from there.

Pragya just sat there, her whole body numb after hearing Abhi's words.                                                   Abhigya's voice continued to echo and finally broke through her state. She picked up the bottle and went to Abhi and the baby. 

"Why are you here now? You want to make Abhigya cry even more?" He accused.

“Shut up! I don’t want to talk with you!” said Pragya.

She took Abhigya while abhi protested. She paid no heed to him. She took Abhigya forcefully and went to their room. Abhi followed them.

Abhi was shocked and his eyes became moist after seeing the scene in front of him. He couldn’t understand what was happening.  

Pragya was breastfeeding Abhigya and cried silently remembering Abhi's hurtful words and her behavior toward her.

What she is doing? Abhi wondered. Without becoming a mother, how can Pragya breast feed Abhu?” 

Abhi came near Pragya silently and sat beside her. He couldn’t stop his tears.

"Pragya, I'm sorry." he apologized.

“Abhu was crying with hunger and there is no spare milk powder packet at home, so I told the driver to bring milk powder immediately. There was a little amount of powder in that packet and with that I prepared milk. But then ot dropped on the floor when you slapped me." 

Abhi hugged Pragya tightly and kissed her on the forehead without disturbing Abhigya.                       
     “I am really really sorry, Pragya. Please forgive me. I don’t know what happened to me. When I heard Abhu crying like that and you weren't even in the room, I thought you purposely left her because you don’t like her. I am really sorry, Pragya."

“I know, I am not her real mother...Tanu is, and you are her father. She is your daughter not mine. Even though you think I'm some kind of awful monster, I won't try to harm your daughter or leave her to suffer. I can’t feed her but I can make her feel like she is near to her mom. You may have forgot all our memories and love we have, but I can’t forget. Neither can I forget the betrayal you and Tanu did to me." Pragya said with so much emotion. She turned away from him.
