Ra: Haan haan...I will not scold your abhi ....
Neil and Tanu smiles...
Disha gets irritated hearing that..
Dadi sees Disha and pragya and says
Da: Disha beta.. pragya beta....when did you both come
Pragya lies," just now dadi"
Disha joins her in lying," purab informed us only now, otherwise we would have came early."
Ra: no problem dear..
Disha walks near abhi and asks
Di: how are you now...
Ab: better
Tanu sees abhi looking at pragya who is standing near the door.. suddenly she says
Ta: abhi..
Abhi turns to see her,
Ta: I will go and bring juice for you....
Ab: no thanks
Ta: arey...you are weak now,you must drink... atleast for me...
Ra: buy one more for you too.....you donated blood to him,you are looking pale..
she nods and went out...
Ragi: I like her very much...what about you abhi
Abhi looks at pragya who is seeing everywhere but him..
Neil: yes...she is perfect for abhi...
Ab: dad....
Ne: you keep quiet... nowadays you are not even taking care of yourself, so let us get you married,then Tanu will take care of you so we will be without any tension...
Disha sees pragya who is standing calmly...
Shocked Disha thinks," why is she not crying?"
Ab: okay leave it.... hereafter I will take care of myself...
Ra: no abhi .... first you get well soon...after purab's marriage,we will do your marriage..
Abhi sighs loudly..
Nei: she is best in both professional and personal life abhi...I am sure your pair will be the best...
Da: Ragini and Neil ,you both go home..I will be with abhi...
Pu: no dadi...you too go with them..I will take care of him..even Disha and pragya are here..
Ra: yes maaji , when Tanu is here,we need not get tensed...more than her who can take care of abhi well...
Hearing that pragya's heart pained but she didn't show it out..
Ab: maa.. you please go naa..
Ra: why you want to be with Tanu ,Haan?
Ab: mom...
Ra: fine....we are leaving...
After they left,
Pr: Disha...I am going home...dida will be alone ...
Di: drive carefully...
Pragya nods and about to leave...abhi stopped her
Ab: pragya
Pragya ignored him and walks forward
Ab: pragya water
Pragya wanted to leave but her heart is not willing to leave abhi here and go...
She steps forward
Ab: I am thirsty
She turns and came near abhi and poured water and gave him...
Ab: my hands are hurting,can you please make me drink
Pr: I will send Tanu
Saying she was about to go but abhi caught her hand....she wriggled it suddenly and her action hurted him ...
Ab: no need....I will drink myself...
Pragya handovers the glass to him .....
He drinks it but suddenly coughs so water spills on him.. she gets the glass from him and pats his head....then she wipes his mouth and shirt with her saree pallu...
Abhi holds her hand...both their eyes locked... both reminisces their happy past... abhi's eyes shows unbearable pain but pragya's eyes looked emotionless...this scared abhi,he softly whispered
Ab: do you still love me?
Pragya moves away but abhi again pulled her... pragya's mangalsutra came out of her dress due to his pull..
Ab: I am asking something
Pragya tries to move out from his hold
Ab: do you love me?
Pragya looked into his eyes and calmly said," no"
Abhi's eyes brimmed....he catches the mangalsutra and asks her...
Ab: then why are you still wearing this ?....
Pragya releases the mangalsutra from his hold and hides it inside her dress.
Pr: leave my hand abhi...
Ab: first answer me...
Tanu suddenly opens the door...
Di: don't you have manners... can't you knock before entering..
Tanu fumes seeing abhigya together....she fakes a smile and asks
Ta: did I disturb you abhi
Di: yes...they both were kissing and because of you they parted...
Tanu furiously shouts," what"
Disha too shouts back ," what"
Purab holds her hand to calm Disha..
Pu: Tanu and Disha..we will wait out...let husband and wife talk..
Tanu controls her anger..
Pr: no Bhai...I am leaving...
Saying she went from there ignoring abhi...
