Let's  begin our story from the leftover flashback guys and extremely sorry for being late always... What to do, I am a big lazy goose 😅😅😅

Note: This chapter contains past incidents, please don't get confused... First half will be the past of Pragya's mother and second half will be Pragya and Abhi's... I scripted it clearly as much as I can... Hope you will get it🤗🤗

Continuation of flashback...

                    Shocked, amused, glad, unbelievable.... These words are not enough to describe bulbul's state of mind. All these years she was blind folded, not by some other but by her own mother. She is happy because her father whom she thought dead, is alive; she is sad because eventhough he is alive she can't be with him; she is confused because if her dad is alive then why he didn't pay any visit to them; she is curious to know about her mother's and father's reason of separation.

                     Still she couldn't come out from the shock of her father being alive, but her mind managed to tell her that " there is something more for her to know". She composed herself and asked her mother,

Bulbul: Then.... Why? Why he is not with us? Why he never came to see us? What happened between you both?

Ragini: I will tell you everything today, but before that promise me you won't tell this to Pragya... Promise me you won't leave me like your dad did... Promise me you won't hate me for seperating you from your father...

                   Bulbul wiped her and her mother's tears and promised her mom which she asked for...

Bulbul: I promise, I won't do like that... And how can I hate you, all these years you were my mother, father and everything. What if my dad is alive, that won't change the fact of you being our mom. I will never ever hate you, even if the fault is yours.

                               Bulbul's words brought a huge courage in Ragini to disclose the truth. She takes a breathe to calm herself and begins to say her past to her lovely daughter, who is way curious to know about everything.

Ragini: Do you know why I hate rich people? Because no one of them knows the value of relationship, all they know is MONEY... MONEY... and only MONEY... added to that their so called STATUS...  My mother died after giving birth to me, I was with my father till my 10 years but after that he too left me alone in this cruel world. But like a ray of light, my uncle and aunt was there for me. They took care of me very well, I was feeling so secured with them but everything was vanished on my 21st birthday.

              That day I got to know they took care of me because all my father's property belongs to me according to the will. At my age of 21, I can able to transfer everything for someone whom I wished.

                   They made me to sign those legal papers without my knowledge. After their work done they threw me like a trash on roads. By god's grace, I have completed my degree and I am secured with a job that time. With the help of my friend I find a hostel for my shelter and starts to do my job to run my lonely life.

                Eventhough I want to forget everything, I couldn't... All those memories of betrayal was haunting me like a blood sucking deadly disease. Then I decided to join an NGO to collect funds for orphan kids, there my life changed.

Bulbul: You met dad there right?

                    Ragini chuckled at her grown up daughter who is very excited to know about her parents story, she nodes her head in agreement and continues her past...

Ragini: Yes... I met him there, he was there for those kids and he is the sponser for many kid's studies there. I found him kind hearted, well cultured man. We both become friends and we used to meet often apart from our professional life.

                 I liked him alot but at the same time feared to believe a rich man like him. My worst past didn't allow me to think about my future with him. Out of blue, one day he came and declared that his chachi started to search a bride for him and he wanted me to meet his chacha and chachi regarding our relationship.

Bulbul: That means even he too liked you... How you reacted after that?

Ragini: I don't know how to react that time, I am hell confused. But he assured me that he will always be with me. I believed him blindly, that was my biggest mistake. We met his chacha and chachi but they don't want an orphan like me as their daughter in law, with no other option we married without their wish and moved to a New place and started our life. He started to do a job as a employee and later Pragya born... Everything was perfect, he loved Pragya alot. He never allowed me to take her outside even for a minute too... same goes with Pragya too.

               If he wasn't around her, she will start to cry. After 4 years his chacha and chachi found us and apologised for their behaviour and took us with them to their home. Then you born and our happiness doubled but I found his chacha and chachi was avoiding me in his absence, I felt lonely in that huge mansion everyday after your dad left for his office but my only company is your dad's cousin Vikram. He is really a kind man, he is like a brother to me. His wife died after giving birth to his daughter after his wife's demise he never wanted to marry again so he was living alone with his daughter.

Bulbul: You never told dad about his chacha and chachi's rude behaviour?

Ragini: I thought they need some time to accept me, but later your dad too starts to avoid me. Spending most of the time in his office, coming late at night, not having a normal talk with me became his usual habits. Then slowly things started to get worsen, he started to fight with me unnecessarily. One day our fight ends in a drastic way as a result he asked me for divorce.

             I thought he left those words in anger but no... He came with divorse papers the next day and declared that he is going to marry a girl who was his business partner's daughter. I was shattered, I never in my dreams too thought like this day will come in my life. That time too your dad's cousin Vikram stood beside me and supported me like a own brother. I can't take his betrayal anymore and left from there with you both after giving him divorce. I never met him after that, even he didn't came to look you both.

Bulbul: You should have told us about him earlier... There is no need for him to be my di's superhero. I don't want to hear about him anymore. I am sorry but as I promised I won't tell Pragya di about him. But You promise me that you will never think about him again and make your health worse... Promise me...

                 Ragini smiled with tears for her daughter's love, what if the man she loved is not with her. She have her two daughters who will never leave her side. She wiped her tears and hugged her daughter.

End of flashback...

                     That day I decided to keep you and mom away from all evil eyes. I never want anyone to hurt you and mom. But I never thought you will love someone whom our mom hates alot. I am sure she will never agree for your relationship with Abhi. But still I can't come up with conclusion like this. I can't see neither you hurted nor mom. You both are my world, if that Abhi does something bad like dad did with mom, I won't mind to kill him even.

End of bulbul's pov...

                  With all these thoughts she closed her eyes by hugging sleeping Pragya and slowly sleep overpowered her.

Next morning,

                  Like every morning, everyone started their works. In Abhi's house, he is getting ready earlier than usual to meet his clients regarding his upcoming concert. In Pragya's house, she is getting ready for her college not before helping her mother and waking her little sister from her sugary sleep. Both their houses were filled with same happiness, love, care and fun. Bulbul and Pragya left home after bidding bye to their mom. While driving,

Bulbul: Di, how do you met your Rockstar? I mean you don't even know how he looks, then how?

Pragya: Not now, I will tell you in evening. First drive safely and concentrate on the way. Or else we will end up in hospital.

Bulbul: Ok fine.

              Bulbul dropped Pragya in her college and left to her work. On the other side Abhi left to his office happily with the thoughts of yesterday's meeting with Pragya in her home.

At evening,

                Bulbul takes her seat on bed and waiting for Pragya eagerly to know about her sister's love story, eventhough she can't believe Abhi, she is quite interested in listening to stories. Pragya came with all her energy drained out and placed her handbag on side table before leaving to freshen up.

            She noticed bulbul is sitting eagerly to know about her love story, she chuckled at her little sister's enthusiasm. Pragya's phone starts to ring after Pragya left to washroom, bulbul thought to attend the call but stood confused seeing the caller ID which shows "Mr. Liar"...

                Pragya came out from washroom by wiping her face with towel and hears her mobile ringing sound. She noticed that caller ID and grabs her mobile from bulbul and left to balcony...

                 She started to talk with the person happily, sometimes giggling, sometimes laughing, sometimes blushing. Through her gestures bulbul identified the person who called her and automatically a frown appeared on her face. She picked her mobile and dialled Purab. As soon as the call gets connected, bulbul started her unstoppable radio... Her mouth...

Bulbul: Purab, where are you? Where ever you are, drop your work there and go to your friend rockstar Abhi's house and please do something to disturb him. If you failed to do this, then mark my words you will be dead with my very own hands 😬😬

                          Without waiting for his reply, she hung up the call abruptly and sat on her bed like a fuming Valcano 😠😠

                     Purab was looking at his phone confusingly and decided to do his given job... "Mission to disturb Rockstar". Within half an hour purab reached Abhi's house, greeted the family members and rushed towards Abhi's room and witnessed that he is talking with someone happily.

                     By connecting all the dots, purab concluded that Abhi is the reason for bulbul's anger since he is talking with Pragya. He smacked his head mentally and went near Abhi. Once Abhi noticed him, purab gestured him to cut the call. As per his words Abhi cuts the call after wishing Pragya ' good night ', she replied the same and went inside her room only to find bulbul like a balloon which is about to blast anytime.

At Abhi's house,

Abhi: Is there any reason behind your sudden arrival?

Purab: Bulbul!!! Suddenly she called and ordered me to visit your home and disturb you...

Abhi: What I did this time?

Purab: I am not sure at first, but now I am clear. You were talking with Pragya di right?

Abhi: Yes, is anything wrong with that?

Purab: Yes... Bulbul is very possessive about her sister, I am sure she must have  waited for Pragya di to have a talk with her and you must have interrupted her by your call that's why she did this...

Abhi: Oh god... These two... I can't understand them... Sometimes Pragya behaves like bulbul and sometimes bulbul behaves like Pragya...

             Said Abhi by pulling his hair, purab chuckled at him silently and sat beside him.

At Pragya's house,

Pragya: I am sorry bulbul... Look at me...

Bulbul: You go and talk with him, why you have to think about me? After seeing the caller ID you don't even bother to look at me... Wait.... Why did you saved his name like that?

Pragya: Because he is liar... From our first meet, he always used to lie about his identity of being  the Rockstar...

Bulbul: Where you met him first?

Pragya: Why should I tell you? You said you are angry on me and you won't talk to me.

Bulbul: We can resume that later, now you say me... Please...

Pragya: Ok fine... I met him at garden centre for the first time, he was explaining some worker about cactus plants so I thought he was the plants man and asked him to show me orchids and primroses.

Bulbul: Fault is yours, you must have asked him, instead of jumping into conclusion.

Pragya: Ok let that be, but what he did? He started to act like plants man and fooled me. I agree that I was wrong, even he is at fault. He should have cleared my misconception but instead of clearing the things he started to act like one. Then atlast I found that he is not plants man and we had a fight.

Bulbul: Fight?

Pragya: Not a huge one, just a little. Then I decided to buy this Cape primrose and he bought pink orchids. Later we met accidentally in my college campus, again I misunderstood him as any of the students family member. He again used my foolishness for his time pass and irritated me alot.

Bulbul: Both the times you misunderstood him, he didn't lied...

Pragya: It's his responsibility to clear my misconception, but he didn't do that. So obviously it's equal to lie.

Bulbul: Ok let it be, then what happened?

Pragya: Sometimes we met coincidentally, then later we become friends. I only know his name and I noticed him coming out from Mehra industries, so I thought he was working there. I never bothered to ask him about his profession. As time passes, I found myself new, I found I am being attracted towards him then slowly I fell for him.

Bulbul: Then you decided to propose him, right?

Pragya: A kind of, but before that I got to know that he is the rockstar Abhi whom our mom hates the most. I wanted to confront him for cheating me but he never cheated me. If I didn't know him then it's my mistake, so I stepped away from him and his life. That time I felt how hell will be?? Seriously I never thought he will become an integral part of my life.

                Even he is not less than me in stubbornness, he messaged me, called me, came to my college and wherever I go... To know the reason behind my sudden avoiding. Atlast I told him about that I got to know of he being the Rockstar, his face become pale after hearing me and I added that our mom doesn't like him and rich people so I don't want his friendship anymore.

Bulbul: You are very bad Pragya di...

Uffff.... Such a huge update, I know it might be boring because of the back to back past incidents but I can't help it. It's necessary to add this part in this story, I think. Let's see the remaining in the next chapter 😁😁
