A few days later,
It was night time and Pragya took a stroll outside the house. She couldn't sleep thinking of the incidents happening in her life for the past few days. She agreeing to the marriage and he too agreeing to it. The visit to his house and meeting his family after a long time.
Everything was happening fast and she can't accept it.
She then sees Abhi sitting near the pond.
Pragya sat beside him.
Abhi "You haven't slept?"
Pragya "I couldn't sleep."
Abhi "Oh...."
A moment of silence prevailed between them.
Pragya looking at the pond replied, " I can't believe he agreed."
Abhi smiles and Pragya" Looking at the pace that everything is going, I can't believe whether is it for real or dream."
Abhi" It's real and going to be a dreamy wedding for you."
Pragya feels upset and Abhi asked" And why did you went to the corner just now?"
Pragya" Just now?"
Abhi" I mean at his house."
Pragya" You mean yesterday?"
Abhi" Haan!"
Pragya"Oh... Nothing."
Abhi" No something was there for sure. You suddenly looked panicky."
Pragya" My dori was loose and.... "
Abhi" I'm sorry...I mean..."
Pragya said, "And he helped to fix it."
Abhi shrieked" He??"
Pragya" You didn't see him coming over there? He happen to come there when I was looking awkward. I actually called for Bulbul but he said he can help so.... "
Abhi looking down and in stern tone replied " Oh...I... See.. "
Pragya" Anything wrong?"
Abhi" Nothing!"
He threw a stone into the pond and water splashed on Pragya's face.
Abhi saw Pragya wiping her face.
Abhi" I'm sorry...."
Pragya" For what?"
Abhi remains silent and Pragya said" I don't understand you Abhi. At one moment you wish me a good marriage and another moment you feel bad about him being close to me. What's going in your mind ah?"
Abhi" Nothing!"
Pragya" I would be surprised if nothing is going in your mind. But that's not the truth. Something is always going in your mind. I can see it!"
Abhi" Let's not talk unnecessarily. We need to do better things in life."
Pragya took a deep breath and looked at him while he was looking away.
Pragya" Alright! Let's not talk about it."
Abhi never said anything and Pragya" Tell me about your work."
Abhi" Work?"
Pragya" I just want to know. You have never really shared about your work with me."
