You Are My Destiny

You Too Leave Me, Pragya

Next morning, the clock ticked 7 am and here abhi was already ready to office.. he came out of the bedroom to see a pale pragya sleeping on the couch.. she was much uncomfortable.. the previous night incidents' clouded his mind, and he felt bad for bashing at pragya for his work pressure.. he wrote "sorry" in a chit of paper and placed it on the dining table.. he skipped his breakfast and left for his work quickly.. 

here pragya woke up with kamala ma's call.. kamala ma told that she can't come that day and pragya assured that she will manage.. she called to her office and took a day off.. she went to take bath and completed the daily chores.. she didn't even had a single piece of food.. she was feeling pale due to hunger, yet she managed to put clothes for drying, set up the bed, putting back the vessels at place from the dishwasher, watering the plants.. she didn't notice the chit that abhi had kept for her.. she tied her hair into a simple plait.. changed into a decent clothing.. but her face was showing the gloom badly.. she had tear trails.. she had no idea why she was crying this badly, even suresh hadn't made her gloomy like this.. yeah she had cried for years because of him, but all those were bearable for her but this was unbearable..

Luck favored abhi that day.. The work that was bugging him day and night for almost a week got completed successfully.. He remembered making pragya sad... To apologize and make it  up for the sadness, he planned to return home earlier and cook lunch for her..The clock ticked 1 pm... abhi opened the door, to find pragya sleeping in the couch.. for a moment, he thought that pragya didn't wake up, but later looking keenly, her changed dress and combed hair told that pragya had woke up.. he went and refreshed and thought to prepare something for pragya.. he found the sorry chit that he wrote untouched in the dining table..

abhi's pov:

I've badly scolded her yesterday.. I have to seek her apology.. she is the one who changed your life here.. and what stupidity have you done abhi?? wake her up.. even if she yells don't speak a word against her because you deserve it.. before that, let me make something for her to eat and for myself..

the hot bag in the kitchen caught his attention.. somewhere in his heart, he felt that, pragya would not have ate anything since the previous day night.. he immediately served the food in the hot bag on a plate and went to pragya..

ab: pragya.. pragya..

abhi kneeled near pragya and patted her cheeks.. pragya woke up lazily..

pr: yeah..

ab: vo.. i..

pr: you don't need to tell anything.. I can understand..

ab: I'm sorry..

pr: I'm telling na.. U don't need to tell anything.. I'm the one at fault.. I don't know my limits with you.. I've gone overboard I guess.. sorry for everything.. and u.. Mr.Mehra... Please.. don't come and show this sympathy of yours to me.. I'm not your wife nor your responsibility.. An irritating person, who is showing hell for you.. so please.. u be a loner or whatever.. don't come and do these caretaker jobs.. because u r the great Mr.Mehra.. and I'm a useless and senseless girl..

ab: pragya.. vo.. I..

pr: please..

told pragya in ultimate anger and irritation....

pragya stood in anger.. and since she didn't ate, she felt dizzy and lost stability.. When she was about to hit the ground, abhi held her in his arms.. here abhi tried to have an eye-lock with her, but pragya was dizzy enough to even open her eyes.. He made her lay on the couch.. he forwarded a glass of water to her.. but she politely declined it,not showing her intense anger.. he tried to feed her a piece of roti, but she just stopped him by gesturing with her hands.. she went to kitchen.. Boiled the milk, poured it on corn-flakes served in a bowl.. she settled on the kitchen counter and had it.. here abhi didn't know, how to convince her.. He just gave a longing look at her.. He knew that he is at fault.. He was also aware that, the corn flakes that she is having will not be enough for her and there are possibilities for her to faint just like on their first-night..

he slowly approached her.. Pragya didn't gave a damn to him and was very much concentrated to her food..

ab: I'm sorry pragya.. I'm ready to bear any punishment for this.. I can't lose this friend of mine.

A drop of tear laced his eyes while a tear drop dropped on her hand from her eyes..

pr: I lost the person whom I believed to be my friend..

told pragya with pain and left the kitchen keeping the uncompleted corn flakes bowl on the counter itself..

abhi rushed back behind her and held her hand.. the same moment she stepped on a glass piece that she missed to clean the previous night..

pr: ouchh...

ab: kya hua???

pr: u just leave me..

told pragya, relieving her hands from her hold.. she balanced herself on single leg and raised the other leg to know what is wrong with it.. she found the glass piece has pierced her foot... this didn't go unnoticed by abhi..

ab: pragya...

he immediately carried her in his arms.. she tried to protest him, despite her pain..

pr: chodiye na..

ab: chup..

abhi placed her on the couch and rushed with an first aid box.. he removed the glass piece carefully and treated her wound.. here pragya was wincing in pain.. once the first aid was done, abhi went to wash his hands and put back the first-aid box in it's place.. by then the pain got reduced for her.. he came back with a tablet and passed it to pragya with a glass of water.. Pragya didn't protest much.. she had it immediately..

pr: thank you..

ab: I'm hurting you na.. I know only to hurt people around me.. and at last, they tend to leave me.. better you too leave me pragya.. I don't know the value of a family..

pragya didn't uttered anything.. but she had a lone tear escaping her eye.. he sat on the floor near her.. he took her leg on his lap and caressed it.. pragya watched him in pure silence.. she felt like she is going to see the vulnerable side of abhi today..

ab: it was my mistake.. I lost ruhi.. and now.. again it's my mistake.. I'm going to lose you..

and two drops of tears dropped on her foot from abhi's eyes.. pragya gently placed her hand on his shoulder.. without disturbing the wound, abhi laid his head on her lap.. she caressed it lightly..

ab: I had a dilemma in sharing about ruhi all these days.. but today I realised how much important you are for me.. so it's time to share about ruhi with you..

pragya had no idea about who this ruhi could be.. but she mentally prepared herself, to be strong to bear anything..

STAY TUNED FRNDZ..
