Pragya busy with the kitchen stuff's, & she look Abhi through corner of her eyes & ask quickly- what you want..

Abhi little surprise & says- you haven't forget my presence..

Pragya turn him & says with forcefully smile- don't make your dream house in your mind, for your kind information, Prachi & Reha have habit to come in kitchen behind me, & I always caught them through corner sight..

Abhi- oh..

Pragya- now tell me, what you want..

Abhi- any help your want..

Pragya again smile forcefully & says- no I'm capable to do, you may please leave the kitchen..

Abhi- no, I mean you need some help then I'm free, so you can take a help from me..

Pragya almost says with mocking tone- you are the Mr. Mehra, owner of the Mehra business, if you do a work with me in kitchen, then it's not gonna be suitable..

Abhi stay quiet & Pragya herself too, Abhi in mind- both kids are right, she puring a water for cactus, ohh god, she almost cut my all wings of hopes, Abhi she is not your Pragya anymore, but you are the one who gives a reason to be like a cactus, even you don't know what she bear in those 18 years, like all Reha's words are correct, every man look towards single girls or women in only one way, how will I make her understand, even I want to know her side, it's needed..

Pragya look him again who busy with his thoughts, & she didn't bother to break his thoughts & she goes out from the kitchen with bowl of foods, & keep Abhi in kitchen..

Pragya comes in girl's room, & look both, who busy with giggling, & Pragya ask them both- what's going on..

Reha- come, come it's school tale, about our maths teacher..

Prachi- is your lunch ready..

Pragya- yes it's done..

Reha- Mom..

Pragya- hmm..

Reha ask with soft tone- you still upset on us..

Pragya- yes, if something happens to you in that ring, then, & she comes to them, & take a seat in front of both..

Pragya continue- you both are my life line, if something happens to you both, I can't survive properly, because my day start by you & end on you, I don't know about my next future life, but I care for you now, & I care for you always, when you fall down in ring, I almost choked my breath, how knows why god makes you girl, why can't he gift a body of boy to you, I would like it, but he gift me two girls, who a equals for everything..

Prachi- Mom we are sorry, but our intention is totally to help you, but how knows that, we found about our father name & then that deal, everything was like, we just want to give you time, for thinking, otherwise in pressure you take a wrong decision..

Pragya- is our conversation is moving towards second chance..

Reha- Mom we really both want, you clear your misunderstanding with him, not because he is our father, or we are fed up with these middle class life, after we knows, who we are, no, not for that, but really we both want please clear your misunderstanding with him, he is nice, may be little obeying child of his parents, but as a man he is nice, we both don't know how many months you both stay together, but whatever you both spend the time, was precious for you both, right..

Prachi- Mom we both are not saying quickly you forget everything, because it's not easy at all, we know how people look towards you or other single woman, it's not easy to forget everything, but time is medicine you always said to us, right, take your own time, later then you decide, but do fast too,

Pragya- I need my own time, for everything, because so many difference are in between me & him, & it's not easy for me..

Reha- look till you not get ready, we both decided, we are not call him Dad..

Pragya- don't do it at least, it's not good, to keep him waiting..

Prachi- is love in the air Reha..

Pragya hit on Prachi's arm & says- shut up, & come for lunch..

Reha- mom can I go to school from tomorrow..

Before Pragya say anything, Prachi quickly says- please Mom, I feel so bored in school..

Pragya- ok, but no boxing here after..

Reha- why Mom..

Pragya coming out from the room & she look Abhi still in kitchen, she knocked the fridge door to break his lane of thoughts..

Abhi look to her & she ask him- you don't want to eat..

Abhi- when you go out from the kitchen..

Pragya- long before..

Reha coming out from the room & says- mom I won't leave my boxing..

Pragya- I said no boxing Reha..

Reha ask with pouted tone- why..

Abhi interrupt & says- because doctor said, either boxing or cricket..

Reha start to look Pragya & says- Mom no..

Pragya- look I chose cricket because you love Dhoni, & I love too..

Reha shouts with joy- Prachi look mom too loves Dhoni, yes..

Prachi too coming out from the room & says- so what do I do, should I dance..

Pragya start to serve food to everyone, & Reha says- mom is courier box come..

Pragya- no not yet, I called in courier office, it will reach tomorrow..

Reha- ok..

Pragya- Mr. Mehra still you have problem with high spicy food..

Abhi lightly smile & says- is it spicy..

Pragya- yeah both loves spicy chicken, so could not do anything, if you want lemon, I bring it from kitchen..

Abhi- no it's ok, I can manage..

Pragya- ok..

Reha- mom..

Pragya- hmm..

Reha- is you have day off tomorrow..

Pragya- yes, because want to clean house, in absence of you both..

Prachi- so we can come home late for tomorrow..

Pragya- 2pm is your time, you both will back to home on time..

Reha shook her head in yes & she hit her leg to Abhi only..

Abhi look to her & signed through eyebrows, what..

Reha- mom I need pinch of salt..

Pragya- ok, & she getting up from the chair, & goes in kitchen..

Quickly Reha says to Abhi- tomorrow is the day, so talk with her..

Abhi- what..

Prachi quickly says with whispered tone- he is such a stupid man, Reha leave him..

Reha- he can't even know, how to use the alone time, come to home in absence of us, & try to talk with your cactus..

Abhi light his bulb & says- ohh, ok..

Pragya comes & look Prachi & Reha eating their food clam, & she look Abhi, who talking with himself, & she ask him- Mr. Mehra is any problem with you..

Abhi- what problem..

Pragya- you talking with yourself, that too in front of kids, I mean any mind related problem do you have, because since you come here, I feel something weird..

Abhi look both girls who almost being so innocent in front of Pragya, they make their faces like, they both didn't talk with him, & he says- I'm fine, don't worry..

On evening Abhi back to Mehra mansion, & Khush looks that, & he quickly goes behind him..

Khush- Dad..

Abhi stop & ask him- what happened..

Khush- do you have time for me..

Abhi- of course, why are you asking me like these..

Khush- then, I need you half hour only..

Abhi- ok, come in room..

They entered in room, & Khush close the door behind them, & Abhi pulled out his blazer, ask- what happened, any important thing, you want to share with me..

Khush- yes very much, but you have to promise you won't share anything with anyone till you know the truth, because it's between you & her..

Abhi ask him with serious tone- what happened..

Khush explain him everything, what Mithali share with him..

Abhi listen everything with clam mind & says- yes that's true, Pragya take that decision..

Khush- is you hear her side once..

Abhi- no, because I was too anger on her..

Khush- then next thing you will makes to think, because I think something is conspiracy behind mom's death..

Abhi look to Khush & ask- what do you mean..

Khush- is Mom hate Pragya Arora..

Abhi- no, never, they both become like sister's, infact Apeksha was the one who suggested about Pragya, she like Pragya on first glance through photograph for me, after our marriage done, Apeksha was the one who become Pragya's friend, philosopher, infact sometimes I feel, I'm outsider for them..

Khush- like you saying about their relationship, I don't think she take decision against mom's life, some things is big behind it..

Abhi- why, why you feel that..

And Khush explain him about hospital incident, which was happen between Pragya & Mithali..

Khush- is Mithali Dadi hate Pragya Arora..

Abhi- Mithali aunty hate middle class people, & Abhi quickly shut his mouth & getting up from his chair..

Khush looks that & says- right Dad, Mithali Dadi, did something, & only Pragya Arora is the only key, so find out real truth, for 18 years, one truth is hidden under depth, & we don't know anything, you try to ask her, because Mithali Dadi won't open her mouth..

Abhi turn to Khush- is you are with me..

Khush shook his head in yes & says- yes, because in influence of Mithali Dadi I did a mistake, I just want that truth, that's it..

Abhi- once meet Pragya after truth gets reveal..

Khush- yes, but you please clam your mind down, & do things normal, till I keep busy Mithali Dadi somewhere..

Abhi- yes..
