Hey Guys,

I know its a long time since I published a story. Many of you are excited for my next story- Doctor Weds Rockstar...

This is a new OS which is in 3 parts... This is the first part THE INTRODUCTION

Pragya was becoming restless...her heartbeat was uneven...she was waiting for a call near her mobile....she knows that her husband's life is in danger...

This is the life of all the wives of the soldiers...they don't know whether next time they will be able to meet their husband's body or dead body...Nikhil was shot by group of terrorists in Northern India....his colleagues were trying to save him unfortunately they were also shot...their leader witnessed all and contacted the rescue team immediately...

In Pune, Pragya saw the news and was shocked....Nikhils mom consoled her but in vain...Pragya couldn't stop herself crying...she was not worried about herself but her unborn baby in her tummy. She is 9th month pregnant. It's been 2days, since the news...but no sign of Nikhil's dead body...the rescue team couldn't find his body...they declared that he must have fallen in a valley and must have died.

Pragyas health worsened after listening the news and she fainted....Nikhils mom came and wakes her up...but she got labour pain and then they rushed to the hospital...Unfortunately their car stopped in the middle of highway...driver informed them that the tier got punctured...his mom carried Pragya out of the car and waited for lift.

Fortunately, a car passed by and stopped there seeing Pragyas state. He offered a lift and they rushed to the hospital.

"God bless you beta...thankyou for the lift." His mom told to the person who gave lift.

"Its okay aunty...dont worry I'm driving slowly so that she doesn't get hurt."

"Oh hello Mr...drive fast...its unbearable pain...u won't understand" yelled Pragya from the back...

They reached the hospital. As Pragya couldn't walk, the man lifted her and kept in the labour room...Out of no option left, he had to sign the hospital papers...Nikhils mom forced him to sign the papers as Pragya husband and the father of the baby...The man signed the papers as ABHISHEK MEHRA...

After 2hrs, the doctor came out of the room with a little girl in her hands...

Abhishek was delighted to see the baby...he held the baby first...out of nowhere his eyes were filled with tears...Pragya and her mother in law were shocked to see him in this state...Pragya thanked Abhishek for his help...he didn't mentioned her that he has signed the hospital papers...

"Sorry, I shouted at you...in the car..." Pragya told him while holding the baby

"Its okay...I did it for the baby..."

"I'm Mrs.Pragya Nikhil Singh"

"Mr. Abhishek Mehra..."

"Thank you once again..."

"If you tell one more time, then I'll kidnap your daughter..."

"She is yours too.... (After a long pause) ...I mean you have done what a father needs to do for her...that's why..."

Abhishek couldn't control himself and he started crying...he didn't want to cry in front of her so he left the room abruptly...Pragya was unable to understand that what makes him cry...

1 WEEK LATER...

Pragya is in her room...her eyes have turned red...due to excessive crying...her daughter is on the other side of bed sleeping peacefully...she is in constant stress about her future...Pragya witnessed a sudden change in her mom-in-laws nature when she got the news that it's a girl...

Like all the in-laws in the world, she expected a grandson...now when her son is no more she had a great expectation from Pragya.

Pragya is an orphan, she fell in love with Nikhil a year ago. Due to high class status of his family, he knew that his mom wouldn't like Pragya. So they decided to get married in a temple. Initially she faced tough time with her mom in law, but when she gave the pregnancy news 3months post marriage...his mom was more than happy...Nikhil got a duty in Kashmir which he couldn't deny...he left assuring Pragya that he will be back in her last trimester...

Today, is their wedding anniversary but here she is all alone...except their symbol of love...their daughter...she wonders what's the use of her when her husband is no more...she takes a knife from the kitchen and keeps it close to her wrist and when she was about to cut...

Her daughter started crying...how much ever Pragya tried not to listen her crying...but motherhood overpowered her and she rushed to her daughter and started feeding her...

AT A LONELY HOUSE,

Abhishek is seen drunk and talking on phone...

"Yes mom..."

"Beta, are you drunk??"

"No mom..."

"You are...you can't hide it from me...till when will you be like this...why cant you move on...Tanu is no more in your life...please understand and...."

"Mom, I'm in office...will call you back..."

"Today is Sunday...don't lie with me...okay...beta...it's been a year...when will you return to Mumbai..."

"I will mom...I will...I promise."

"Dont worry about Tanu...she was a bad omen for you...always remember...what is meant for you will come to you...no matter what..."

Abhishek cut the call and started drinking again.

In the evening, Pragya comes towards a tall building named KAVITA ORPHANAGE. She enters with her daughter in her hands.

"Excuse me, can I meet Mr King??" Asked Pragya to the receptionist...

"Yes ma'am...but please state the reason why do u want to meet him..."

"I know him very well..."

"Okay ma'am...wait for 5 minutes... (After a pause) do you want to adopt this baby???"

"No...Actually I want to give this baby for adoption..."

"Okay ...you need to tell us that where did you find her??"

"No...She is my daughter and I want to give for adoption"

"What!!!" the receptionist yelled at Pragya gaining everyone's attention.

"How can you do this...you are a mother ...how a mother can give away her baby...there are thousands of women who are motherless in this world and God is kind to you to give a baby and you???" the receptionist continued...

All the staff members started gossiping about Pragya and her character...King, the owner of the orphanage came there and enquired what happened there...Pragya started crying there...

King consoled her and took her to his cabin.

"Ms Pragya, don't worry...these people have no work except gossiping...I can understand...that giving birth to a child without marriage is a shameful act..."

"Excuse me...Mr King...I'm a widow...my husband died at the border...I can't manage my daughter on my own that's why I want to give her in orphanage"

"Oh...I see" replied King. He gazed Pragya full of lust. She continued crying and King stepped forward to hug her.

At the reception, Abhishek entered, "Excuse me, where is King??"

"Sir, please wait for 5 minutes..."

"Okay...can I take a round of this building till then...?"

"Yes Sir...but please be careful...children are playing..."

In King's cabin, Pragya couldn't control her sobs but she didn't reciprocate the hug...but he increase the grip

"King, I'm okay" said Pragya coming out of his grip.

"Oh come on Pragya...I know you need this..."

Outside the window of the cabin, Abhishek saw this, at first he thought that King might be her husband but when he saw Pragya getting uncomfortable with him...he understood that something is wrong...he eavesdrop from the window.

"King, leave me...I'm okay" she said in an irritating tone...

"Arrey...I'm only consoling you...how can you survive without a husband in this cruel world...come with me...stay with me...I'll give you whatever you want...and in return you should give me what I want" saying this Karan came close to her to kiss her...she snapped at him...to which he got angry and started misbehaving with her..

Abhishek anger rose...he broke the window glass and went to King and started beating him.

Pragya thanked God for sending Abhishek at the correct time...

"Abhishek, please stop it...he'll die..."

"I don't care...let him die..." replied Abhishek who was red with anger...

All the staff members entered the cabin and removed Abhishek and Pragya out of their premises.

Pragya took her daughter in the pram and started moving...she entered a park and sat on the bench...

Abhishek followed her to the park...

"Ms Pragya..."

"Abhishek....you....thank you for saving me....once again..."

"It's alright....but what were you doing in the orphanage?"

"I should ask you the same..."

"I...I went there to adopt..."

"Listen..." Pragya said cutting in mid "I really thank you for your help 2 times...but...don't do this...you did what he needs to do...but he left me..."

"Who? Your husband?"

"Yes...he died...he was in military..."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that..."

"Its okay...Abhishek, I never dreamt of this life....which mother will give her baby for adoption...I had to...I can't imagine my life without my husband...."

"I know Pragya...but life is not a piece of cake...it will throw challenges on us...and it's our chance to live with it"

"These lectures are good to hear but difficult to implement ....what you would do if this situation happens in your life" she replied in angry tone...

"Pragya...my situation is different than yours...but I feel the same absence of life partner in my life... "

"How??"

"I'm a son of the richest businessman, Mr. Ram Mehra. I live with my parents, sister- Alia in Mumbai. I loved my family so much but I went against their wish and married Tanu...my family hates her due to her modern behaviour...but it never affected our married life....after 6months of marriage, Tanu couldn't conceive...we showed it to different doctors but no use...at last they checked me...and then it was discovered that I'm infertile...there are only 10%chance for me... "

"She divorced you??"

"Yes...after 2 days...I got the divorce agreement and I had to pay her for her demands in the contract..."

"That's so weird of her...so that's why you came here for adoption..."

"Yes and that's why I cried in the hospital while seeing your daughter... "

"Oh yes, I was wondering why you were crying..."

"Only Tanu and you know it...I didn't disclose it to my family yet..."

Being strangers minutes ago...Abhishek and Pragya shared their problems with each other...it is said that you get a relief when you share your problems with loved ones...but with them their loved ones are not with them anymore.

"Abhishek, if you desperately need a child, then you can take her with you..."

"What...but she is your daughter..."

"The children that you were about to adopt are also somebody's children...I'm telling you Na...take Abhigya with you"

"Abhigya??"

"Actually...in the hospital that day...unknowingly you signed the papers as my husband and her father...so mom-in law told me to give her your name...and its mixed with mine...."

"I didn't sign unknowingly...your mom-in law forced me to sign the papers..."

"Anyway, I find a change in her behaviour every time, she was different when Nikhil was there, she was different when I was expecting...and now after Abhigya has born she became worst..."

"I can't adopt your daughter..."

"But why??"

"Because..."

"Because u know me..."

"No...It's not that way...because a child needs mother the most...and Abhigya has her mother..."

"So, you want to adopt me as well..."

"Yes... if you don't mind...I can take care of Abhigya as her father and you can stay with me...because I can't handle a child on my own"

"That's okay...but what about the society what will people say and what about your family???"

"I don't know now but my love for Abhigya will help me clear all my problems..."

"I can understand your situation Abhishek, how you desperately need a child but why did you and Tanu not try other fertility options??"

"It doesn't matter...she was interested in my properties, so she needed my baby to be a part of the family property..."

"Oh...don't worry I'm a lawyer by profession....she wont be able to do anything."

"Okay...let's go home..."

At a lonely house,

"Pragya, you and Abhigya can take this room...I'm in your next room...let me know of you need any help..."

"Yes, thanks..."

Pragya POV...

This week changed my life...last week on this day I got the news of Nikhil death and Abhigya was born, I met Abhishek because of her, and after a week I'm in his house...as his fake wife...we're doing this only because of Abhigya....truly she is the reason I met him..

Abhishek is a kind man, and I'm sure he will be a great father for her...I promise to God that I'll be with him whenever he needs a moral or emotional support from me...I won't betray him like his wife Tanu...

TO BE CONTINUED....

Next part will start from Loving father.
