Born to love

Inevitable pain...

Abhi is hiding and seeing Pragya. Here Pragya cries thinking about the visions. She went inside and started to search something then she came out holding that close to her heart she started to sob loudly.Abhi leans to see what she is clutching close and finds Purab's photo.

she cries hard by caressing the picture.then she walks out of the room crying.Abhi follows her silently by thinking where she is going this late at night.pragya walks along the road all the way crying whereas Abhi follows her cursing in mind that she is walking this long . Then she stops in front of Purab's flat.Abhi thinks what a shameless girl even after marriage she came to meet her lover in this night that too in his house.he thought of bashing her badly then decides to catch them red handedly so he went inside the house through balcony and started to record a video and waits for Pragya's arrival .
Then he sees her coming inside Purab's room looking very sad and pale . he thinks she knows well about this house.Pragya went and sat near sleeping purab and touched his face. Then she closed her mouth with her hands and started to sob heavily.She caressed his face and kept on mumbling sorry to the sleeping purab.
She said sorry purab please forgive me I was not with you when you needed me the most. I am sorry purab.Here Abhi is totally confused to hear Pragya.Then she covers him properly with the duvet and kisses his forehead and moves out closing the door gently. Abhi also returned to house following Pragya.

Next day morning everyone are having breakfast in Mehra mansion. At that time purab came to meet Abhi regarding some office matters but hesisted to come inside and stood near stairs itself. Pragya who was serving dadi sees purab and calls him softly by his name. On hearing her every one turned their attention to purab who stands near the entrance. On the other hand Pragya kept the bowl on the table and went near purab with tear filled eyes and hugged him. Purab returned the hug and softly asked how are you Shona . she just nodded and asked him how was he but before he replies she asked him whether he had breakfast? He said yes but she dragged him to dinning table and said him to eat again . He protested then he started to eat as dadi ordered him. Then she stood near him and started to serve him .Aliya who saw this started to fill her brother's ears bad about Pragya but abhi was confused with Pragya's behavior as till yesterday she avoided purab inside this house but now she is caring him infront of his family. Pragya kept one more parota for him but he said enough Shona I am full but she forced him to eat.purab looked puzzled but then enjoyed his Shona's care after many days.Dadi asked him how he became this close to Pragya to call her as Shona .his reply shooked Aliya and abhi . Purab said she was his little sister and they become close after they met in office as Bulbul works in his company.Abhi was shocked and got angry why Pragya did not tell the truth and he accusingly looked at her who was admiring purab with so much love in her eyes. After breakfast purab and abhi was discussing about office.but Pragya started to disturb them often by asking purab whether he wants something.everytime purab denied politely but got suspicious of her behavior then he looked at abhi who is seeing his wife with wide opened eyes. Abhi is too shocked as she completely ignored him and keeps on looking at purab.she will not fight back even when he taunts.
Both Purab and Abhi are disturbed by her behavior. Purab thought to confront her directly so he caught her hand and made her to sit near him where as she sat near him like an obedient kid and saw him with longing eyes. Purab softly asked her Shona are you fine what happened. On seeing his care for her ,her eyes filled with tears and with trembling lips she mumbled a slow sorry to him.he was startled by her actions and asked for what. But she hugged him tight and started to cry loudly. On hearing her crying Abhi rushed near her and patted her back . Purab was confused but consoled her. Then she broke the hug and said I am sorry Bhai I hurted you alot.He paused her saying you can never hurt me Shona. I think you are disturbed thinking something but please go and take rest don't bother about anything. But she was not leaving his hands so he took her with him to her room and made her to lay on bed and patted her head but she was seeing him like a child seeing it's mother.her eyes are flooding with non stop tears .he wiped them and said I love you Shona . On hearing this her heart felt content and a smile formed in her lips and slowly she passed out.purab asked abhi is there any problem between them.Abhi denied him . Purab left to home after talking to Abhi.

After some time abhi sees Pragya who was sitting near swimming pool and crying silently. He went near her and said sorry to her for the misunderstanding and he promised to make her free from this relationship soon. But unknown to him his words broke her already broken heart .
Days started to roll but there was no improvement in Abhigya's relationship. Day by day Pragya started to feel depressed and sad.she was always sobbing silently. She was not eating properly which made her weak ,she looked dead,but whenever purab was near her she smiled. Both abhi and Pragya's family first thought she was feeling home sick and they consoled her but later she started to avoid herself from others ,she used to sit alone and will not talk to others more.Abhi gradually distanced him from Tanu. Aliya and purab had their hearty talks and made up their minds to find peace with their friendship.he slowly explained her he can never love her like a partner but will always love her like a bestie.aliya flew back to Australia to get peace after her heart brake.but purab never opened to Abhi and Aliya about his love for Bulbul. In all her sorrow Pragya never skipped her bahu duties she took care of everyone but not her. Bulbul daily visits her but only Purab's presence made her happy.on getting even a small glimpse of purab makes Pragya's lips to curve up.
Later Pragya started to fall unconscious often. Doctor said them to keep her away from stress as her blood pressure is very low and she was very weak. Doctor warned them if this continues then she will fall into depression. To make her normal abhi's dadi suggested sarala to take Pragya to their home but Pragya denied it. Then Abhi said purab to shift to Mehra mansion for some days to be with Pragya.
Then that evening Pragya is laying on Purab's lap and others are sitting in sofa in Hall. Sarala tried to feed Pragya soup but she denied to drink. Then purab got it from sarala and fed Pragya which she happily accepted with twinkle in her eyes.she fed him in return and smiled whole heartedly which warmed others hearts.
Purab made Pragya to sleep but she kept on staring him so he asked what happened Shona . She said him not to leave her alone and also she said she wanted him to always be with her. Abhi who was hearing all this came inside and said purab to sleep with them today . Pragya squealed like a kid and pleaded purab to sleep with them so purab slept on bed besides abhi.abhi who was laying on the center sees both of them sleeping soundly. He thinks about his morning talk with purab.
Flashback of morning: ," abhi we should consult a doctor regarding Shona , said purab .they both are disturbed by her behavior and are confused to hear Pragya sometimes calling him beta instead of bhai.abhi said yes purab we should not wait anymore I will call physiatrist tomorrow to home because if we take her to clinic then Pragya will get depressed more. Next day all wait in Hall for doctor. Finally abhi arrives with a doctor. Doctor called Pragya to come near her and sit in nearby couch but Pragya nodded negatively saying doctor I am fine. Abhi said her to go and sit then just answer doctor's few questions that is enough. Pragya denied saying it is not needed but did as what they said due to Purab's insistence. Then doc gave her some medications and Pragya slightly dozed off then doctor asked her is her head paining she slowly said little.Everyone in the Hall are listening to Pragya keenly. Then doc called Pragya by her name but she did not respond .doc asked why are you not replying but Pragya said ,"I am not Pragya". this made others to gasp. Abhi kneeled near Pragya in shock and kissed her face.

All are looking at each others face not able to understand what Pragya is saying. Doc asked her sofly what was her name?

The reply shocked everyone to core and they looked concerned at Pragya by thinking she was mentally ill.

Her reply to doc was," I am Nishi , Nishi Khanna".
