Abhi was about to ring the bell when he hears a toddler's laughter and a girl's voice approaching him."Munna... stop running... don't go out." she says worriedly as she ran out behind the kid.
Abhi quickly holds the kid to stop him and in a second he was kicking and shouting at Abhi when the girl came to an abrupt stop seeing him.
"Hi." Abhi says with a smile at the girl as he offered the kid to her.
She quickly takes the kid and turns to run inside when Abhi asks her, "Is Purab home?"
"He is." She nervously replies.
"Are you Pragya?" Abhi asks politely seeing the Mehendi on her hand though a little irked by her inhospitable behavior. "I am Abhishek Prem Mehra, his friend."
Pragya turns to him and nods her head. "I'll inform bhaiyya."
"This is for you." Abhi tells her as he took out a gift wrapped box from inside his bag. "Congratulations for your wedding."
"Thank you." Pragya nervously whispers to him and turns to run inside as she spotted an old man furiously coming towards her.
"What are you doing here?" he asks her furiously.
"Daddaji, Munna ran out and I came to..."
Before she could finish he slaps her across her face. "How many times have I told you that women in our family don't come out when men outside the family is present?"
"Munna ran out..." Pragya whispers to him in tears as she shivered in fear.
"You can't even watch a small kid? You bloody useless." He screams at her as he slapped her again.
Abhi watches in shock seeing the way Purab's dadaji was slapping Pragya. He knew he was a tyrant, Purab had told him about him but this was too much. He looks at Pragya and sees that she was running back inside clutching the kid to her. Now he understood why she was being inhospitable.
"Other than cooking and bedding, women are good for nothing." Balraj conversationally tells Abhi as he turned to look at him tired at the whole ordeal.
"They did give birth to you and me." Abhi reminds him in a stern tone.
Balraj waves it off as if it is not a big deal. "Who are you?" Balraj asks him.
"Abhi!" Purab says as he hurried out. "What a surprise?" Purab says as he hugged him happily.
"Your sister is getting married and you thought I won't come?" Abhi asks Purab smiling ignoring Balraj.
"When did you reach?"
"I came straight here from the railway station." Abhi tells him. "I need a shower."
"Come in then." Purab tells him as he invited him inside.
"Actually, I have made arrangements for my stay. Let's go there." Abhi lies as he didn't want to be in the same house as Balraj.
"Okay let's go then."
Purab takes Abhi to a hotel after he found out that Abhi was lying about the accommodation. Though the place wasn't even fit to be called a hotel by any standard, Abhi preferred to stay there than breathe the same air that Balraj did.
"Why does he treat Pragya like that?" Abhi asks Purab as they walked into the room.
"I told you. That bastard respects no women." Purab furiously tells him.
