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

Tired and dejected Abhi limps to his room with Raaj. Raaj helps him on to the bed. Abhi sighs when Raaj helps him put his feet upon the bed. His toe was killing him.

"I need water." Abhi says feeling his throat dried up.

Raaj hurriedly gets him water. As Abhi drank the water, Raaj looks at the glint on the floor. He walks towards it to find a ring.

"Sir... found it on the floor." Raaj tells him as he passed the ring to Abhi.

"I gave this to Pragya... when did she come up here? Had she come back? How come no one told me?" Abhi asks frantically as he started getting up from the bed. "Maybe she is still here." Abhi says as he tried to get up from the bed.

"She is not here. I saw her leave." Raaj finally tells Abhi.

Abhi looks up at him in fury, "WHAT? WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"

"Doctor was treating your leg then."

"SO?" Abhi asks furiously as he grabbed him by the collar.

"She had run off and I knew you would run after her. You were not in a condition to do that."

"HELL! I don't give a damn about my f**king toe!"

"And..." Raaj gulps.

"And?" Abhi asks frowning.

"Seeing the helpless look on her face, I just could not, not help her." Raaj confesses looking down.

Abhi leaves his collar and moves back stumbling down on the bed. His mind filled with Pragya's helpless look.

"I am sorry, Sir."

Abhi talks as he got lost in her thoughts, "She trusted me a lot. She loved me a lot. My heart kept telling me that she is an innocent but neither did I believe her or my heart. I betrayed her. I betrayed her in the cruelest way possible."

"Sir..."

"Why did I do this to her? Why did I let this happen to us? Why?" Abhi asks as tears fell down his eyes. "Why didn't I just trust her? She had been nothing but truthful to me. Now I lost her." Abhi screams out in agony. Raaj quickly hugs him while Abhi cried for Pragya.

A while later, Abhi calms down and Raaj settles him on the bed and turning off the lights he walks out of the bedroom.

Abhi turns to his side feeling the sheet. Just yesterday Pragya had slept on this bed blissfully. So happily in love, dreaming of a life with him and he had ruined everything.

"Ma..." Disha says as she teleported into the living room. Nani sighs and turns to look at her.

"Why did you come, Disha?"

"Pragya is miserable and you expect me to stay away?" Disha asks shocked.

"She is reminding me of Sarala. The way she was crying." Nani says shuddering.

"They are going to be happy, Ma."

"After what he did, I doubt it."

"What did he do? And why are you packing up everything?" Disha asks noticing the boxes around the house.

"First thing in the morning, we are moving out. I don't want even his shadow to fall on my child."

"What did he do?"

Nani tells her what had happened as they magically packed up everything.

"Did you find a house?" Disha asks realizing for the time being Pragya needs to be away from Abhishek Prem Mehra and if they were destined to get together then they will be together no matter what.
