Abhi (Abhishek Prem Mehra)

"How dare you to bother these girls! Robbing them in the broad daylight." Abhi glowered at him.

Abhi was very angry and beat the thief black and blue. By then Prachi and Sahana had arrived at the spot.

 "Here you go kids, take your bag." he handed over their bags.

"Thank you so much sir. If you had not came, we would have lost it." Prachi was grateful to him.

Saying so, she hugged him.

Abhi felt a warm wave washing over him, as if he was hugging someone very dear to him.

"I am so sorry. Actually I was overwhelmed by gratitude. We are new to this city and don't know anyone who could have helped us. You came like an God sent angel. " she apologized.

"No, it's OK. What are you two doing here alone? You should be more careful. This is not a very good place." he cautioned.

"Actually, we were returning home after college." Shahana said.

"Come let me drop you home." Abhi offered.

Prachi : No sir, no need to be troubled for us. We can go by ourselves.

"Come on, no need to be modest. Just now you said that you know no one here. So, let me be your first friend here. Wait! are you thinking that I will kidnap you both." he joked.

"No sir, we will come with you. Thank you so much." Prachi giggled.

"Oye! In friendship, no sorry , no thank you." he reminded.

Saying this he hi-fived Shahana and gave Prachi a side hug.

Though they had met just then, both Prachi and Abhi felt a connection between them as if they had known each other for years.

Abhi drove according to their directions and they stopped before a house.

"What! You both live here?" he was surprised.

"Why? What's the problem?" Shahana asked.

Just then Sarita ji came out of the house.

"Mr. Mehra! You here? I see, you have made acquaintance with them already." Sarita ji greeted them.

Prachi and Shahana kept looking at each other confusingly.

"Don't be surprised you two. Actually I know Mr. Mehra. Whenever there is a party or celebration at his house, the order of catering is given to us." Sarita ji explained.

"Yeah. I think that I should leave now."

"You can't leave like this. Please come inside and have something and I will not take no for an answer. If you don't come, I will be very angry." Sarita ji warned.

"OK, ok I am coming."

 Inside the house, Sarita ji made Abhi to sit with Prachi and Shahana and went inside to bring snacks for him.

"Now tell me something about yourselves." Abhi said.

"We came from Hoshiarpur. We applied for a scholarship in the MMIS college and got a chance." Shahana answered.

"So, both of you are really studious. Now tell me about your family. Where are they?" he looked around hoping to see a family member.

"Maasi has probably gone to the market." Shahana replied.

"Maasi?" Abhi questioned?

"I mean, Prachi's mom. I call her maasi." Shahana explained.

"And father?"

Suddenly both Prachi and Shahana looked gloomy. Prachi's eyes filled with tears.

"I don't have a father. He left us when I was very young. I hate him very much." Prachi said with tears flowing down her face.

The thoughts of Pragya and his lost daughter came back to Abhi.

"I didn't mean to...... "

He could say no longer and hugged Prachi. Many unspoken emotions passed in between them.

"Why are you standing there? Come here." he said to Shahana.

They gave each other a three way hug. Everyone felt safe and comfortable.

"What happened? Did I miss something?" Sarita ji came back with snacks.

"No nothing much and thank you for inviting me. It was too nice meeting these little cuties." Abhi smiled.

"But have something before leaving." she pleaded.

"I really must be going now or I will be late for a meeting. I will come again later. I promise." he denied.

Saying these, he left thinking about Prachi and if his own daughter would also hate him like her.

"I thought that all rich people are arrogant and selfish. But look at him, he is so kind hearted. I wish I had a father like him." Prachi wished aloud.

"Yeah. He is really very nice." Shahana agreed.
