Abhishek walks to his father's study with a gentle smile on his lips. He opens the door to find his father standing by the window lost in thoughts with a drink in his hand.

"Dad... when did you come?" Abhishek asks him smiling.

"Abhi..." Tej turns to him with a smile.

"Rocky said you wanted to talk to me. I didn't realize that you got back home. Rocky said Mom is not back yet?"

"She will come back after 2-3 months."

"2-3 months?" Abhishek asks shocked.

"After Raghuveer passed away there is no one for Pragya, so she is staying with her till Pragya finishes her college. Then she will bring Pragya here." Tej explains.

"Couldn't she be put in a hostel?" Abhishek asks curiously, being an only son he was a little possessive about his parents.

"Pragya just lost her father, so we thought..." Tej explains.

Abhishek nods understanding, he couldn't think of a life without his parents and Pragya seemed to have lost both her parents, mother when she was a kid and father now. He says a silent prayer to give her strength and then quickly forgetting about Pragya he asks, "Mom is going to be fine there, right?"

"Yes." Tej nods his head. "I wanted to talk to you about something else."

"What?" Abhishek asks him curiously.

"Raghuveer and I grew up together. More than best friends we were brothers. Tej starts explaining while Abhishek curiously listens on without asking any questions. "But once we started working, we got so busy with life and we moved to different cities that we were not able to keep in touch with each other much apart from courtesy calls on birthdays and festivals. But we were always friends and his problem was always mine and mine, his. That is why when I found out about his accident, Jhanvi and I went to see him immediately. On his death bed, his only worry was his daughter, Pragya. He was worried for her future and I promised him that you would marry her."

Tej looks at Abhishek and sees him looking at him in shock.

"I know, it was not right on my part to take such a big decision on your marriage without talking to you first but he was dying and he was in pain. I wanted to ease his worry and this was the only way I thought possible. I know you have your dreams and thoughts on your life partner, I knew all that but I just couldn't see him suffer like that." Tej tells Abhishek helplessly and sees that Abhishek had turned around to face the window. "She is a nice girl. Jhanvi and I love her." Tej tells him.

Abhishek softly nods to let him know that he heard.

"I know I am asking too much from you. To marry a girl neither you have met or know anything about other than her name. You deserve to get the right to choose who you want to spend your life with."

"But you gave your word." Abhishek gently interjects.

"I did." Tej says looking down guiltily. Abhishek sighs as he walked towards the window and looked at the sky lost in thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" Tej gently asks him.

"What did Pragya say? Did anyone ask her whether she wants to marry me?" Abhishek asks Tej.

"It was Raghuveer's last wish, so she said yes." Tej tells him.

Abhishek nods his head then he turns to look at his father and smiles softly, "If you and Mom liked her then I will also like her."
