Love And Its Respects

I LOVE YOU AS A.....

Pragya looking back was shocked to see him.

Pragya "You? Here?"

Akash "Why can't I be here?"

Pragya didn't know what to say.

Akash "I saw you in taxi and followed you here. You were calling out some name Abhi right? Who is that? Your student?"

Pragya "Akash, it's none of your business. I don't have to answer you."

Akash "Why? Am I a stranger to you? Don't you remember the relation we share as a family?"

Pragya "I don't have a family now. It's the past. And it was not as you think too. I can't explain all that to you now Akash. Please leave me alone."

Akash unhappy with her reply said, "We are waiting for you to return back. You know that too....."

Pragya "I will never be back. Don't have false hopes."

Akash "At least let me help you now. Please....."

Pragya "I can handle it Myself! Please leave Akash. If you respect me then leave!"

Akash "Pragya...."

Pragya "Send my regards to Auntyji..."

Akash "I can't leave. You are alone here and how can I leave you like this?"

Pragya "The security officer is here. I can call him for help at anytime."

Akash "You give the respect to him to help you and not me?"

He looks perturbed asking that and Pragya became emotional.

Akash "Alright. I will leave. You have my number right? Please call me once you are done with your work here."

Pragya nods her head and Akash before leaving saw her.

Pragya "Sorry for everything...."

Akash "Don't be sorry. We are the ones feeling sorry for what had happened to you."

He says and left from there.

Pragya feels her past coming in front of her after seeing Akash. Indeed, this was unexpected. Already she was worried for Abhi and now this added on to her worry.

She was about to leave the canteen when Abhi came running towards her.

Pragya "You are safe right?"

Abhi breathes heavily and sighs seeing her.

Pragya "I am asking you something. You are safe right?"

Abhi "Haan! But you? Here at this time?"

Pragya hugged Abhi suddenly and tells about the call she received.

"Are you fine?" she asks again while caressing his face.

Abhi nods his head with tears filling up his eyes.

Pragya again hugs him to reassure he is safe.

Abhi breaking the hug, looked at how worried she was for him.

Pragya knew why he broke the hug and she was about to turn away when Abhi hold her hands.

Abhi "I know this is wrong Pragya.... But just for once. Just this moment when I see you concerned for me, I can't hold myself and I have to do this now."
