Days rolled.. But there was no improvement from any side.. Abhi who wanted to let his parents know the fact about his marriage, unfortunately, had to stay silent since his grandpa was not keeping well and the whole family was tensed about it..
Abhigya felt that it was not the right moment to break the truth to everyone.. While at Pragya's home, her dad was slowly accepting the truth, but her mom was taking time to adapt to reality..
Both joined back to the office.. They continued staying in their respective homes and felt to move in together only when both of their parents approve.. There were so many gossips going behind their back.. But both didn't lend their ears to anything or anyone, rather they concentrated on their work and continued to be the best of friends as they always were..
And one thing was so evident... They didn't behave like a happily married couple.. They both fought with each other as they always did..
It was one evening where only Abhi, Pragya and Purab stayed back at the office while others left for home.. Purab who had some late evening calls came to Pragya for chit-chatting.. While Pragya who was done with her work packed her bags and continued chatting with Purab..
"Let me go and check for Abhi.. I saw him chatting with one of his team members.. What is there to chat for this long?? He knew it right, we will be waiting for him to have dinner!!"
told Pragya totally pissed off...
"Hey!! What if it is regarding his work?? Moreover, you remember right, he never likes us telling that we were waiting for him.. If you are hungry, Chalo, let's have dinner.. He will have whenever he wants.."
replied a calm Purab to all of Pragya's rants..
Pragya's pov:
What for this guy?? He is my husband and I'm the one who has to worry for him.. Already, he is not treating me as his wife, since the day we joined the office back.. We always fight for petty things, as we used to do.. Okay!! I agree.. I love them all.. But on one side, this also instills a fear in me.. It has been 10 damn days after we joined office.. All these days we never had alone time to spend with each other.. Both of us are having so many works to compensate for the days we took off.. If we get to have a coffee-break, someone is joining us and there is no moment I could talk to him personally and freely.. If I call him at night, his line is engaged coz of talking to mom or he is sleeping.. Otherwise, I'm dozing off when he calls.. What do all these things mean?? Ughhh... Ain't I worthy enough to get some peace in life..
Pragya came back to sense when she felt her arm stinging...
"Bandar ki bachaa.. Don't behave like a 5-year old kid..",
yelled Pragya at Purab..
"Then what?? You are in your dreamland.. I'm the one who is suffering in hunger.. He is not coming.. You are also dreaming.. Then what do you expect me to do??"
asked Purab innocently..
Pragya glared at him..
"Okay, Wait.. I'll go and check on him.. You stay here.. Teekay?!"
told Pragya and went to check on Abhi..
To her bad luck, Abhi was doing something in his laptop with much enthusiasm, with his team-mate by his side.. Pragya pouted seeing him and then came back to her desk.. She collected her bags and went to Purab's desk..
"Sorry yr.. Had to ping someone, that's why came back to desk.."
told Purab..
"That's fine..."
told Pragya with no interest..
"Kya hua?? Why Mrs.Mehra is so dull??"
asked Purab with a smirk..
That was enough to brighten Pragya's mood..
"You really know how to make me smile.."
told Pragya blushing..
"That's why I'm your best friend.. Okay.. After Abhi.. You know what, you both love each other crazily.. But you people aren't admitting your feelings.. Earlier it was fine.. You were engaged to someone and he was in a relationship with someone else.. But why don't you guyz take effort to realize it now.. For god sake, you both are married to each other now.. There is nothing stopping you both.. Then why??"
asked Purab with more eagerness of seeing them together..
"It's not like that Purab.. Time has to answer everything.. Moreover, we both are in our initial stages of our career.. We both have to achieve more.. Also, his parents don't know about marriage.. My parents, though my dad is fine with the marriage, my mom needs more time to accept us.. And you should also understand that ours is not a love marriage.. Like we were so deep in love, eloped and got married.. Neither of us thought that we would marry each other.. So everything will take time, Purab.. Have patience.."
told Pragya as an answer to Purab but to herself reckoning the reality..
"You know what.. Yours is a love marriage.. You guyz were waiting for the chance to get along with each other... That's it and God made it happen.. No girl will jump for a random guy just like that in a swimming pool and no guy will marry a girl just like that to protect her dignity.. All this will happen only when there is love..",
Purab tried convincing Pragya.. Pragya just smiled in return..
"Hey, Purab.. Can you go and check on him now? Already I went and his team-mate looked weirdly at me.. And if he enquires something about me to Abhi, then that idiot will lose his patience.. You know right, he doesn't like these kinds of attention.."
told Pragya and Purab went to check on Abhi..
The moment Purab went, her phone beeped with Abhi's message, "Hey did you leave??"
Pragya smiled and replied, "No.."
With that she followed Purab to go and check on Abhi.. Seeing Pragya and Purab, Abhi got up waving bye at his teammate and he was in a hurry to pack his pieces of stuff for leaving home..
Again Pragya happened to be a prey of a weird look of Abhi's teammate, but at that moment all that concerned her is Abhi..
He pulled her like a magnet and she got attracted to him.. She stood beside Abhi while Abhi was checking if he has left any pieces of stuff..
He then turned to Pragya, held her hands gently and started leaving..
"I'm really sorry, Pragya.. I saw you at that time itself.. I thought of calling you back.. But that guy beside me was so eager to see my reactions.. That's why I couldn't do anything.. Sorry.."
told Abhi very pleasingly to Pragya..
How come one can stay in anger when your love apologizes to you very pleasingly..
"That's fine Abhi.. No problem.."
told Pragya and held his hands tight...
Abhi sensed some possessiveness, longingness, and fear in her hold...
"What is bothering my girl??"
hushed Abhi in Pragya's ears inside the lift.. Purab who saw them coming together holding each other's hands left earlier to give them some privacy..
"Your girl?!"
asked Pragya amused..
"Yeah!! I know, you are an aunty.. But still.. You are my wife, right.. What to do.. A young man married an aunty.."
told Abhi with a sad face..
Pragya slightly slapped him on his arms mumbling, "Dramaking"..
Abhi held her chin in his hold and asked her again,
"What is bothering you??"
Pragya pouted telling,
"Haa!! Now only you got thought of your wife right.. You don't approve my existence in this office.."
"Arey we have lunch and dinner together only right, daily?!"
asked Abhi amused..
"Not us alone.. We have a bunch of people surrounding us.. I was worried that I have lost my friend Abhi in all these days.."
told Pragya with trembling lips due to cold and fear...
That's when Abhi noticed that Pragya was not wearing a jacket. He removed his jacket and made her wear it.. He slightly back-hugged her,
"Maybe I failed to notice my friend Pragya.. But I didn't forget to check on my wife.. It's just that neither I nor my wife had much time to talk to each other.. And you know what, nowadays my wife is topping my priority list than my friend.."
told Abhi in her ears..
Pragya was shivering in his hold coz of three reasons..
One, the temperature was getting damn cold..
Second, being in his hold is really new for her..
Third, his words made her shiver..
She was confused but was also sure that, when they get outside the lift Abhi is going to act as if nothing happened.. She maintained her composure and answered him,
"Don't forget your friend just because your wife has arrived.. Your friend is missing you a lot.."
By then the lift door opened and both parted.. To Pragya's surprise, Abhi again took her hands and walked out of the lift..
On his way to the office dining hall, he told,
"I never forgot about my friend too.. That's why I irritate her always by acting like ignoring her.."
Pragya was totally confused..
Pragya's pov:
What is he even thinking about?? Do he consider me as his wife?? Or is he forcing himself to treat me as his wife?? Or am I just a friend for him?? This guy knows how to confuse me...
