Thanks to all for voting and commenting on the previous story.

The nurse comes out of the labor room announces looking at Balraj Mehra, "It's a girl!" Balraj smiles and turns to his three year old grandson sitting next to him, "Mubarak Ho, Abhi. Your wife is here." Abhishek looks at his grandfather and smiles happily. A while later, Raghuveer brings his new born daughter to Balraj. "Baoji, your granddaughter." Raghuveer tells him smiling proudly. Balraj quickly takes her in his arms and smiles happily. He had wanted a granddaughter, so that Abhi could marry her and all the wealth would stay within the family and not go outside. They were the richest family in the village. He had two sons, albeit adopted. Elder one being Mohan Mehra, who was Balraj's brother's son. He had claimed him as his own when his brother and his wife died. Then two years later, he had adopted Raghuveer Arora who was his friend's son. He took him in when his parents had died. Now their children were going to marry. Balraj thought happily. "What do you want to name her?" Raghuveer asks Balraj. "Pragya... what do you think Abhi?" Balraj asks Abhishek. "Pragyaaa." Abhi says excitedly. Everyone starts laughing seeing his excitement. "Abhi has approved his wife's name." Mohan chuckles. "Pragya." Balraj calls her lovingly. As he lovingly looked at Pragya he sees a tiny finger touching Pragya's cheek. Balraj looks at Abhi and sees him watching Pragya in fascination. "Looks like Abhi is in love." Radha jokes seeing her son's fascination.

They were growing up together, he was 7 and she was 4, and they were best friends, always together. "Pragya, enough of playing. Come and sleep." Sarala tells her as she watched Abhishek and Pragya playing. "Later, Ma." Pragya replies as she continued to play. "Don't make me angry, Pragya. Come." "You sleep. I'll sleep later." "I have been calling you for over an hour." Sarala reminds her. "Abhi is not going to sleep now." Pragya says pointing at Abhishek. "That is because he is bigger than you, and he needs to sleep only at 9. It's way past your bed time, Pragya." "I'll sleep when Abhi sleeps." "Pragya, I am getting angry. If your baba comes home and finds you awake he will scold me." "I don't want to sleep now." Pragya sadly pouts. "PRAGYA!" Sarala starts to shout at her when Abhishek jumps in between them and hands on hips he angrily says "You can't shout at her, Chachi!" Sarala was a little taken back seeing his angry pose. She shouldn't be shocked; they were always standing up for each other. Seeing him glaring at her like an avenging angel she couldn't hold her smile in, "And why can't I shout at my daughter?" "Because she is my wife!" "Your wife?" Sarala asks shocked, "How did she become your wife?" Abhishek frowns for a while and says, "Dadaji told me." "I am Abhi's wife." Pragya says frowning from behind him. Sarala sighs, she should tell her father-in-law to watch what he was saying to the kids. "Pragya, is your fiance Abhi not wife!" Sarala gently corrects him. "No, my wife!" Abhishek tells her stubbornly. "I want to be only Abhi's wife not fee... fee... Fee... I WANT TO BE WIFE!" Pragya says angrily. "Okay baba... fine." Sarala says giving up. "Now Pragya go to bed." When Pragya was about to object, Sarala turns to Abhishek and tells him, "Abhi, ask her to go and sleep." "Go and sleep, Pragya." Abhishek tells her. "I want to play with you." Pragya says pouting. "We'll play in the morning." Abhishek promises her. "Okay." Pragya says sadly and walks to her bedroom. After Sarala goes to the kitchen, Pragya closes her eyes to sleep. She feels her blanket being lifted and someone getting into the bed. "Ma?" Pragya asks scared not opening her eyes. Abhishek starts tickling her stomach and Pragya starts laughing happily realizing who it was. "Abhi... stop." "Don't shout. Chachi will hear." Abhishek tells her giggling. "What are you doing here?" Pragya whispers as she pulled the blanket over both of them completely. "I came to play with you. You wanted to play right?" Abhishek tells her turning to face her and Pragya happily smiles at him as she turned to watch him.

Radha comes knocking on Sarala's bedroom. Raghuveer opens the door for her smiling. "Is he here?" Radha asks. "He slept." Sarala tells her as she lovingly caressed Abhi's hair. "I'll take him to my room." Radha tells them and was about to take Abhishek when Pragya in her sleep throws her arms over him. Sarala laughs softly, "Even in sleep she won't leave him. Let him sleep here, bhabhi." "Okay." Radha smiles watching their kids sleep hugging each other, and then she quietly leaves.
