Love And Its Respects

Changing The Perspective

Pragya was taking a final look at the her packed bags when she heard the doorbell. Thinking it could be the taxi she had booked for, she said "Haan coming. Wait a moment Bhaiyya!"

She opened the door and looking at her watch.

Pragya "Bhaiyya, I asked you to arrive early but not this early. It's only 10 am and the train is at 12 pm na."

Abhi cleared his throat and Pragya looked up and was shocked to see him now.

Abhi "Won't you invite me inside your house?"

Pragya moved aside and asked him to come in.

Abhi "Let me just come straight to the point. This has been running in my mind for quite sometime and I don't want to disappoint myself further about this." he says and looks at Pragya.

Pragya in a confused tone "About what are you talking about?"

Abhi "About us! I mean about you, me, Koyal and Chotu. About all of us!"

Pragya "I have told you previously Mr Abhi. I am the teacher to the kids and that's all. We don't have any other relation with each other."

Abhi "That is why......I have decided Pragya. I have decided to tell you everything and to bring in a new relation between us."

Pragya was worried of what he would tell and said "No Mr Abhi. Don't tell anything further as I have no interest in having new relations in my life now."

Abhi sees her trying to walk away and he blocks the way.

Pragya "Please Mr Abhi. Please respect my words and get out of my way."

Abhi "No Ms Pragya. I need this new relation between us because of Koyal so I hope you would understand this."

Pragya was about to tell something when he took something from his pocket.

Pragya sees what was it and was shocked to see the thing he was holding.

Abhi" I have decided Ms Pragya. This special thing will give a new relation between us and it will make Koyal and Chotu the most happiest kids in the world."

Pragya" Are you mad?"

Abhi smirks and Pragya" Are you sure of what you are showing me?"

Abhi" Yes Ms Pragya. I know it will be shocking to you but considering your thoughts and the kids' happiness this is the best way. And after all you don't love me as a man would love a woman. You only love me as a fan. In that way, this thing won't be of any trouble to you."

Pragya looks completely lost and felt blank of what to respond now.

Abhi" This tying of Rakhi is a special integration for the bond between a brother and sister. So will you accept me as your brother? It's up to you of whether to consider me as your younger or elder brother!"

Pragya turning behind couldn't comprehend what he was asking her.

Like seriously! He wants me to be his sister? Is he for real?

Abhi" Think about it Pragya. If you become sister, you will be Koyal's Aunt and Chotu's sister too! How cool is that? And they will have a new relation and no need to call you as teacher anymore as you are our family!"

Pragya turning back saw him looking genuinely at her holding the Rakhi for her to tie.

Pragya took a deep breath by closing her eyes.
