Pragya's pov;

how can that aakash be so heartless...I wish to slap his mouth for killing my husband with his words...that Aditi... didn't they both get any other way to revenge him, they both killed his innocence and happiness... losing a friend is painful , losing our love is worst but he lost both at once...he lost himself due to their betrayal..he is stronger than I thought..

She wipes her tears and goes out after keeping the diary in its place..

At night pragya sits on the bed and sees abhi searching for the pill bottle...he will not get that because she throwed it away....her heart ached seeing him punishment himself for their mistakes..he is hiding his feelings and hurting himself..this will not lessen his frustration....I am an idiot, I said him not to drink , it would have pained less if he forgets them ...

Ab: did you see my pill bottle

Pragya nods negatively..

He sighs and lays near her...

He tried to sleep but this haunting silence brought back those bitter memories...

His thoughts were ranging from WHAT WENT WRONG to WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN HIS MISTAKE..

His thoughts are broken hearing pragya..

Pr: suniye

Abhi looks at her...

Pragya sees the loneliness in his lifeless eyes...

Pr: will you

Ab: what happened...

Pr: will you hug me

Abhi was taken a back hearing that...

He knows something happened to her today..

He looked at her for sometime and then opened his arms...

She rolled near him and hugged him tightly...

As soon as her head hitted his chest, she started sobbing..she clutched his t-shirt tightly and sobbed hard...she didn't know why is she crying..but her heart couldn't see him in pain...

He first resisted but then seeing her sobbing more , he softly patted her head...

Pragya snuggles closer to him while he let her to cry...

Both slowly drifted to sleep...

And that day abhi slept peacefully in her arms without any haunting memories...

Pragya wakes up and finds the bed empty...she turns to see the time

She shouts ," 12" and gets up fastly...

Pr: oh god...what will others think about me...

Saying she rushed to washroom..

In office, abhi is reading his old diary...he reads it whenever he feels like he is moving towards pragya...he reads that to keep a check on himself...

Everytime he reads that with mixed emotions but now he reads that with a smiling face...

It seems his wounds are started healing..

But today he is reading that because this is going to be last time he is thinking about his past...

He knows he has a bitter past but he is going to make pragya as his sweet future..

He is going to tell about his past to her today... whenever he sees her eyes he feels that she deserves better and not a looser like him, but he is selfish...he needs her for him.. only for him...

Then he tears the pages from his diary one by one and inserted the papers on the paper shredder..

He is going to tell about his past and then if she accepts him then they will start their life freshly..

He doesn't love her but he is sure that he will surely love her one day..

Abhi comes to his house and sees Prachi spraying volini on pragya's ankle while Ragini is scolding pragya..

Ab: what is happening here...

Rag: abhi beta...she fell on the steps..I warned her many times to not skip steps while climbing but she didn't listen , today she fell down very badly...

Abhi glares at pragya while she bends down ...

Ne: she didn't skip steps today

Ra: don't support her...what is the need to run...abhi will come here only right..

Neil looks at Ragini startled as her fury is turned towards him now..

Ne: haan but..

Abhi interrupts them..

Ab: I will come here only means....

Prac: woh actually Bhai...

To save herself from the embarrassing situation pragya shouts," aw..my leg is paining..I am going to room"

Saying she gets up..

Abhi looks at her and then scoops her in his arms surprising everyone...

Pragya closed her mouth with her hand in shock..

Neil and Ragini are happy to see that .... finally their son is changing .... they badly missed their old abhi who will always bring smile on others face with his words , his presence will light up the environment and wherever he is there will only be laughter sounds...but don't know what happened that abhi was lost before five years...they asked him many times but he didn't open up...

Ab: you tell Prachi

Prachi controls her smile and says," on hearing your car sound,she ran down the stairs by skipping steps but some how missed her balance.."

Abhi's heart did summersault hearing that, he sees pragya closing her eyes tight...

Seeing her blushing, even his cheeks heated up a little...

All chuckled seeing the cute couple..

Abhi started walking with pragya in his arms..

He entered their room and made her to sit on the couch and kneeled on the floor near her...

Ab: does it hurt...

Pragya slowly nods negatively...

Abhi chuckles seeing her blushing...

Pragya looks at him shocked...her eyes brimmed in joy as this is the first time she is hearing his laughter...may be this is the first time he is laughing happily after that fateful day...

Pragya slowly touched his cheek and softly whispers," you should always be like this"
