Hey all,
35th part and the last part of the story!
This is an amazing journey for me as a writer, writing this story. Initially I was worried whether you guys would accept the storyline with age difference but more than my expectation you all welcomed this story and kept me supported by your valuable comments and votes. Thank you.
Here we go with the final part of this story,
Pragya was sitting on the living room sofa, and watching Abhi, who was walking back and forth. She was seeing it for the past fifteen minutes. He had attended the call of Armaan’s after that he was walking like this in deep thoughts.
“Abhi?” finally she thought to break the silence
“Hmmm” Abhi says continuing his walk and looks at her giving a single glance and again engrossed in his thoughts
“Abhiiiiii” she squeals and pulls him to sit on the sofa near her.
“What happen Fuggi?” Abhi says and consciously his palm settled over her baby bump and other hand rests on her back of the sofa
“That’s what I'm too trying to know? What happen? Why are you walking like this?” Pragya says him
“Oh actually I was disturbed by the sudden turn” he says little restlessly
“Share with me, maybe I can help you”
“Actually, next week Bunty and Bubbly’s state level competition, because they had already won District Zone competition. I trained them perfectly. They are ready to rock but the twist is…”
“Twist? What is that?” Pragya asks him with confusion.
“Fuggi, I have been working with Armaan Bhai for my new film music album. The music launch is going to be on the same day of Bunty Bubbly’s competition. As a music director I have to be in music launch and as Bunty Bubbly’s trainer I have to be with them too. I don’t know what I should do? Both the things are my priorities. One side my responsibility and other side my comeback into my passion world” Abhi says her with a sad pout
Pragya heard him clearly and thought for awhile. “Hey album, launch event timing?”
“Evening around 6, at Infinity Mall”
“Bunty Bubbly’s competition is in the morning only naa. Then you can attend both the events” Pragya advises him
“Yes I can. This is best idea, but Fuggi, I have to do rehearsal for the event, at least I need two to three hours with me to fresh up and appear for the event” Abhi reasons her
“Hmmm ok do one thing, you will be with Bunty and Bubbly during their competition and you can leave to the music launch event rehearsing area. I will be with Bunty Bubbly till they announce the results. In this you don’t have to stay till the result time naa. I will manage them” Pragya says excitedly
“Madam no need! I can’t let you strain at this condition. We have only one week for your labor, I can’t take any risk at this moment. Let me think of any other way” Abhi says her seriously
“Arrey Baba, I will take care of me and our Baby too! Believe me naa. Moreover Bunty and Bubbly is close to me too, so whatever maybe the result I could manage them. More importantly if you stay there till results and fortunately Bunty Bubbly won means, then others would think that because of your celebrity influence they won. So only think about it once” Pragya explains him
“But Fuggi… hmmm… I can’t leave you alone. Daadi is also not here, as she went to Ludhiana for an important property issue. Please Fuggi, I can’t…”
Pragya cups his face, “This is not just your responsibility, it is mine too! If Bunty and Bubbly are yours responsibility then you're my responsibility. I still remember that day when you broke down knowing your down fall. Now it is time to rise up again, and I won’t let any chances to make you feel low. I'm saying naa I will take care and manage things here” Pragya says caressing his cheeks assuring.
“Then I will ask Mithali Bhabhi and Raj bhaiya to accompany you and update everything to me. Only if you agree for this I will agree with you” Abhi says holding her by shoulder, wrapping his arms around
“Acha Ok Baba Done. Now, you concentrate on their training and rehearsing” she says pinching his nose tip.
“By the way, *bending down to her baby bump* my baby, how are you? Troubling Mumma at nights and now sleeping silently huh?” Abhi says caressing her baby bump, remembering how Pragya suffers sleepless night due to the baby movements and kicks inside the womb, she gets the sleep rarely and he feels really bad for her at times.
Answering his questions he sensed a kick and he chuckles while Pragya jerks “Wah! I think she is so obedient like her father, answering his questions” Pragya says wandering her fingers in Abhi’s hair.
“She is Papa’s Laadli! And yes more like me, same as I'm obedient to my wife” Abhi winks at her and kisses her baby bump.
They believed and wished for a daughter, so they addresses their baby as a girl. It was almost 9 month for Pragya and Abhi made sure she is fine and the baby was doing fine. Bunty and Bubbly’s training and the new music album which is going to be Abhi’s new milestone as a music director and a comeback into music industry, kept him busy and he determinately work hard to give his best and justifies the belief Pragya had on him.
He still remember those days when Pragya used to console him that those hard days would move on soon, but she used to silently cry at nights, after making him to sleep. She doesn’t want to show him that she is weak but he saw that too one day. She believes him and to encourage him she showed herself strong, then he have to give the best because her happiness relies on seeing him happy.
After one week, At SSM School,
Abhi and Pragya entered inside the room allocated for Bunty and Bubbly for rehearsing. They saw Bunty Bubbly practicing separately and Mithali Raj was sighing by seeing it.
“Hey Champions! What happen both of you practicing separately?” Abhi asks worriedly, because seeing them clearly says they’re not in good terms.
“They had a fight in the morning Abhi. I don’t know how to convince both of them” Raj says and Mithali nods by agreeing to him
“Arrey Bacchu! What happen why you both are fighting?” Pragya says cupping both their face, while the others watched the happening
“Ask her Auntie! I just asked one simple question but she thought that I doubt her” Bunty said angrily
“It didn’t look like a question, it clearly meant that you doubt me” Bubbly instantly countered him.
One freeze moment made Abhi to think about his past by hearing Bunty’s words.
“Ok silence. Bunty explain me what actually happened?” Pragya asks him
“Actually Auntie, Mumma gave me two chocolates, I kept one in fridge and the other I hid somewhere to surprise Bubbly, because she loves that flavor. Today when I searched for it, the chocolate is missing, so I asked her whether she took it, there she started whining that I doubt her. Come on how I could doubt her when I saved that chocolate for her only”
“You kept it for me?” Bubbly asks innocently
“Haan, I kept it for you only. When I think about you and your likes, then how can I blame you? You're my sister, I would fight with you and question you, but I would never blame or doubt you Bubbly” Bunty said in such way, it clearly explains how much he loves his sister.
“I'm sorry, I thought you doubt me. hereafter this mistake won’t happen. I love you bhai” Bubbly says and hugs Bunty, while he reciprocated the same and said her “I love you too Bubbly”
Pragya amazed by their conversation and looked at Abhi, who was just frozen by the conversation. For others it was Bunty and Bubby but for Abhi it looked like it is He and Alia standing and arguing. The words looked same as his feeling at that moment when he lost her. ‘I never doubt you Alia, it is just my question sounded like that and I lost you, forever. Same as this if we had sorted things means you would have been with us but… I lost you Alia. You should have believed your brother. Still it isn’t your mistake too, situation made us like this’
Raj Mithali’s chuckling sound made Abhi to come out of his thoughts. Pragya keeps her hand on his shoulder “Thinking about Alia?”
He smiles feeling happy to have Pragya in his life who could easily understand him and his feelings. He nods “Yes, it would be really nice if we both had sorted things like this, and she would be here with me”
“She is still here, around you, seeing you, and she wish to see you success. Today is your best day and she will be happily wishing to see you reach high, because she loves her brother so much” Pragya says him encouragingly.
“And I love her more” Abhi says entwining his fingers with Pragya’s
“Ok it is time for their competition. Wish them and leave. They need you the most” Pragya says pointing Bunty and Bubbly
Having a conversation with them for awhile, Abhi wished them success. Raj and Mithali thanked Abhi for taking this much effort for their children. Abhi asked them to take care of Pragya and update things moment to moment. The announcement happened and Bunty Bubbly was called up for their performance. While Pragya Raj Mithali seated on the auditorium, Abhi stood aside hooding himself, and watched their performance.
Pragya looked at Abhi and gestures him to leave as Bunty Bubbly performance has been finished. Abhi makes a call to her, she smiles and attends the call.
“Take care of you and inform me about the results too” Abhi says her
“Ok, I will inform you whatever happens here. You go and get fresh, make yourself stress free. Rock the evening and all the very best for your new beginning” Pragya says him happily
“Thanks Fuggi. I'm not in a mood to leave you here, still leaving by your words. Take care Bye” Abhi said and Pragya nods happily and the call ends.
All the competition got over and it was almost evening, Pragya Raj Mithali, Bunty Bubbly were waiting for the results.
The judges were really amazed and impressed by Bunty and Bubbly’s performance and they won the championship winner award in the State level competition. Raj Mithali were in cloud nine to know their son and daughter has finally won the competition. Pragya was literally happy to see them happy. While she took her mobile to inform Abhi about the good news, she stiffens in pain.
“Uff” Pragya huffs by holding her baby bump
“Pragya, what happen?” Mithali runs near her holding her shoulder.
“I think… Bhabhi…. *her breath heaves* Bhabhi…. Aaahhh” Pragya stammers and she stumbles as she couldn’t bear the pain.
“Mithali I think she gonna get into labor. Let me inform Abhi” Raj says and takes his mobile out
Pragya stops him “No Bhaiya, don’t tell him. today is his first music album launch and he was doing his debut as a music director. He worked hard for this day, and it is my dream to see him successful and bring him out of those dark downfall. Please don’t inform him” Pragya pleads him
“But Pragya, you're in this condition…” Mithali says but Pragya answers her
“Bhabhi take my mobile and inform Daadi, my parents and Purab. We can inform Abhi later. Please” Pragya says her with a pleading tone.
“Ok, I will inform them *turns to Raj* you take her to the car, I will bring our children too” Mithali says and moves out from there
Raj carefully holds Pragya, and little far Pragya couldn’t manage to walk. Raj carefully scoop her in his arms while Pragya holds him tightly as she couldn’t bear the pain. If she had brother, then surely he would have done the same. She called him Bhaiya and he was doing the duty of the relationship she meant.
Pragya settled in the back seat with Mithali, whereas both Bunty and Bubbly seated in front passenger seat, while Raj drove the car to hospital.
Pragya screams in pain but inside her she keep on thinking about Abhi ‘Bacchi! Your Papa is going to start a new beginning in his passion, in his music. Today your Papa gonna launch himself as a music director. We shouldn’t trouble him naa…. *breaths heavily* so only I didn’t inform him…. We should be his strength, not his weakness. Papa will reach success for sure. Right…. Aaaaahhhhhh…. I can’t bear this pain but I'm happy to welcome you to our world… Mumma and Papa loves you a lot my dear, little more patience and bearing, then you will be with us soon’
They reached hospital and Doctor immediately admitted her for labor ward.
At Infinity Mall,
“I'm really proud to say that I launched Abhi as a playback singer. Today he explored himself in different path of music, like writing lyrics and singing. Today here he is been in front of you guys as a music director. And I'm really happy for you Abhi. This evening belongs to you and it is time for the music launch” Armaan announced and gestures the stage back member to bring the Album CD’s for launch
Abhi was nervous as he suddenly felt restless. Pragya didn’t call him and he was literally scolding her mentally for making him impatient. Armaan called him to join the music launch and he joined them.
The music launched in a grand way, holding the album image of the film’s hero heroine, with the film title. And it was the moment for Abhi to do the speech
“Good evening everyone. You guys know that my voice didn’t come back perfectly. Yes I can speak properly but not as perfect as before. I couldn’t sing and I thought I lost my passion but my wife encouraged me to explore my passion towards music in making music, and Armaan Bhai helped me in this. Result, today I'm here in front of you all, as a Music Director. This album consists of five songs and in this I personally wrote one song and I dedicate it to my wife who is always been my support system. Thanks to Armaan Bhai because he gave the soul to the lyric by his voice. I hope I will entertain you the more in this album which consists of peppy, romantic and love songs. Do hear it and please say no to piracy! Thank you guys” Abhi says and steps down waving hands to the audience seated over the auditorium.
The other singers also came and shared their experience of working with Abhi and the album launch got completed successfully.
“Abhi I can get more positive vibe! This is going to be the breaking come back of yours” Armaan said patting Abhi’s shoulder
“Pragya would be really happy if she hears it but… she didn’t call me yet about the happenings” Abhi says restlessly looking at his mobile
“Don’t worry every thing will be fine. Why don’t you call and ask?” Armaan said him and Abhi nods to make a call, but he gets a call from Raj.
“Hello Raj Bhaiya, thankfully you called. What is happening there? What is the result?” Abhi asks him
(Hello Abhi… Haan Results… Bunty and Bubbly won the championship...)
“Pragya would be definitely happy naa… by the where is she?”
(Woh Abhi, I called you to inform it only…. Your music launch got over?)
“It finished successfully Bhaiya, why are you nervous? Is everything fine there? Where is Pragya? Is she fine?” Abhi’s restless increases by sensing Raj’s nervousness
(Abhi….)
“Haan Bhaiya”
(One minute)
Abhi hears the mobile shaking sound and he felt like Raj was giving phone to someone else, and he heard the slow breathing sound and he heard the voice
(Abhi) he heard Pragya’s soft and tired voice
“Fuggi, what happen, why you sound low?” Abhi panics
(Come soon to see your DAUGHTER) she says breathing little abnormally, maybe tiredly
Abhi was surprised to hear the happiest news ever from her. he closes his mouth with palm while his eyes layered with tears.
“Fuggi…. Daughter?” Abhi whispers, while Armaan sees and hears it, immediately hugs Abhi and shakes him with happiness
(Haan come soon. City hospital. I can’t talk much Baba) she says him lovingly and he happily ends the call agreeing to come there soon.
Abhi once again hugs Armaan tightly
“Bhai, it is my Daughter” Abhi squeals happily
“Congratulation Abhi. It is really the best day of your life! All the happiness enriched in this day was because of Pragya! Today I'm openly saying it yaar, YOU'RE LUCKY MAN!” Armaan says him happily patting his shoulder
“Indeed I'm. Ok Bhai I have to leave, please inform others. Bye bhai” Abhi said and he didn’t wait much, and rushed to take his car and drove to city hospital.
At City Hospital,
While he reached there, he saw Purab, Bulbul and Pragya’s family has reached there. Purab informed him that Daadi is on the way from Ludhiana.
“Abhi beta, they both are inside only” Sarla says him happily as they have just met Pragya and Baby and came out.
“Congratulation Jeeju” Tanu happily hugged him while Nikhil gestures him ‘I'm happy for you’
“Abhi you're a father now! My bro” Purab wished and they both hugged each other.
Bulbul silently sees it and has happy tears. She always worried for Abhi that he should be happy and he should never face any hard situation emotionally. Maybe that was the reason she opposed Abhi’s love for Pragya firstly. But today he had overcome all hard situations in his life only because Pragya is with him and her love is there to encourage him, comfort him. Today she gave him another happiness of being a father of her child, the symbol of their everlasting love.
“Won’t you wish me?” Abhi asks seeing Bulbul, without wasting seconds, Bulbul clung over him crying with happy tears for her brother like friend.
“I'm happy for you! More than you would imagine idiot” Bulbul says in her teary voice and Abhi caresses her head and kisses her head.
They parts from the hug, “Go, they are waiting for you” Bulbul pushes him towards the ward.
Raj and Mithali congratulates him including Bunty Bubbly. Taking a deep breath, Abhi opens the door to see his life’s most beautiful pure sight.
Pragya was lying on the bed, while there is a little bundle snuggled close to her, and she surrounded one arm around the bundle and her other hand was resting over the bundle. Abhi slowly stepped inside and Pragya sensed his presence and looks up to him. His eyes were stick to the little bundle near her. Bundle of new happiness in their life, their daughter
Without disturbing he slowly sat nearby on the bed, Pragya saw him, and holds his hand to bring him back to normal from the amazed state. Abhi snaps back when Pragya holds his hand.
“Papa’s Laadli” Pragya says in her weak tone.
Abhi looks at his wife’s face, who was completely exhausted and tired, little pale but still the smile is there in her lips. He caresses her cheek lovingly and bends down, to kiss her forehead.
That forehead kiss was like filling soul into her body, she felt the needed warmness by his presence. Then she slightly adjusts her position and turns to face the baby, while Abhi also sees his daughter.
“Today, I won as a trainer, I debuted myself as a music director and not the least, the best ever thing is… today I'm a father too” Abhi says in shivering tone and his eyes filled tears.
“I'm happy for you” Pragya smiles and gestures him to take the baby into his arms.
“I can’t hold her properly Fuggi, I may hurt her ” Abhi worries
“You can hold her safely. She can be safe in your arms only after mine. Because a father will never and ever can hurt his child” Pragya encouraged him to take the baby
Sliding his one hand under cloth which is covered the neck of the baby and sliding another hand under the waist area, Abhi very slowly and gently, took the most precious and beautiful responsibility and another love of his life, his daughter. Pragya slightly leans up and steadies herself by her folded elbow on the bed.
“She is sleeping and…. And she is so light” Abhi bits his lips with overwhelming emotions.
Pragya caresses baby’s forehead gently “She looks more like you and I happy for that even more” Pragya smiles
Abhi chuckles with tears and gestures Pragya to come close to him. Pragya leans towards him, while he bends and kisses on her lips gently. “Thanks for being the reason for everything! I love you Pragya”
Pragya again kisses him and smiles “I love you too Abhi”
Looking at their new happiness, they both bend down and kissed their daughter with the hope that the upcoming day will be the best of their life. Even if it is going to be tough, they gonna face it together.
