Hello everyone 😇😇... Hope all are fine and safe 🤗🤗...

Thanks for all those who had spent their precious time in reading my works 🤗🤗... Now let's see our abhigya's journey 😜😜...

Ram entered inside Abhi's room and found Pragya, who was busy in looking at Abhi and alia's childhood pictures. Pragya looked up when she saw someone's legs near her, she stood straight in her place.

Ram smiles at her and gestures her to sit and he sat opposite to her in couch.

"After all happened in hurry, we never had free and perfect time to have a normal conversation, right?", Ram asked her casually.

Pragya nodes with a little smile mixed with nervousness, confusion and little fear too.

"So, what do you think about my useless son?"

"He is a Dramebaz", Pragya chuckles while thinking about Abhi's dramas.

Ram smiles and says, "Perfect", he turns to look at the door and again turns to Pragya and whispers, "But his mom, eventhough she knew this, she won't accept it"

Pragya laughs seeing the little fear her father-in-law has on her mother-in-law.

"Then?", Ram asked her again.

"Stupid, stubborn and Liar too", Pragya replied.

Ram sighs dramatically and says, "Finally I have someone on my side to sidetrack my arrogant son. You didn't mention that but he is arrogant too"

"Yes. I felt like that sometimes"

"You said he is a liar, then why did you chose him?"

"He is a Liar but not a cheat and he has a heart of gold"

"He has", Ram admits proudly and continues, " I know, Pragya. It is not easy for you to leave your family like this..."

"I didn't leave them and I will never leave them", Pragya corrects him.

"Yeah, but what happened was something we can't change and we can't hold it all the way through our life and forget to cherish the moments we have at present, right?"

"I know, but... I think it will take some time for me", Pragya hesitantly says.

"I can see that you are trying, but I am not here for that. Actually there is something I need to talk to you"

Pragya curiously nodes, while Ram continues, "Your mom doesn't like Abhi and she doesn't accept your relationship. What do you think if your dad was here, would he have accepted you both?"

Pragya smiles thinking about the possibility and answers, "I don't know, but he would have considered"

"How can you be so sure? Because Abhi told me, you were only 5 when...", Ram hesitantly stops as he doesn't want to say more when he knew the truth already.

"I was. But I have this strong gut feeling in me that he would have considered my wish before he decide something", Pragya replies as she likes to talk about her dad.

Ram smiles and asked, "Actually I am here to ask you whether you are comfortable if I arrange a press conference to announce yours and Abhi's wedding officially?"

"Press conference?", Pragya panicks.

"Yes. You have to face them from now on as you are Abhi The Rockstar's wife", Ram says making faces.

"I know, but... So soon!!", Pragya panicks even more.

"Relax, we are just going to announce your marriage to the world as it won't be nice if we keep it under wrap and if media found this before any official announcement from our side, then they will blow it out in their way. We can't afford that, that's why"

"Ok, but... What if I do something embarrassing you all? I don't think I can answer their questions"

"That is not a big deal, Pragya. You just answer their questions genuinely and I assure you that they won't ask any questions which makes you conscious and uncomfortable. Ok?"

Pragya hesitantly nodes, "Fine"

"Great. I'll inform my secretary and he will take care of everything", Ram walks out by dialing his secretary's number.

Little later, Abhi entered inside his room and noticed Pragya standing near the window. Abhi clears his throat and Pragya turned towards him and smiles.

"What was the topic, you and dad were discussing?", Abhi asked her and comes to stand beside her.

"You"

"Me? What about me?"

"He was asking what I am thinking about you and I told him", Pragya says grinning cheekily.

Abhi looked at her suspiciously and says, "Don't tell me, you told him I am a Dramebaz, stupid and Liar"

Pragya grins ear to ear, "And stubborn too"

Abhi frowns and said, "He must be flying in cloud now. You are too bad, Pragya. Not even a praising word!!"

"And he asked me, I called you a liar then why did I chose you?"

Abhi curiously looked her and asked, " Then?"

"I told him, because you has a heart of gold", Pragya said smilingly.

Abhi happily pulls her closer by her waist and says, "I don't know that. But I have heart full of love"

"Oh, but you never showed me", Pragya says faking sadness.

"Hmm?", Abhi raised his eyebrow while she giggles seeing his funny expression and hugged him making him laugh a little.

Their room's door creaked open suddenly and a voice made them jerk.

"Sorry sorry", Alia says facing the wall with her hand covering her eyes.

"Aagya meri romance ka dushman", Abhi mutters.

Alia turned to them and sees through the gap between her fingers and removed her hand when she saw them staring at her.

Alia smiled sheepishly and tells, "Actually mom told me to inform you both to get ready quickly"

"Why? Is anyone coming?", Pragya asked her.

"No, but we are going. Shopping. Dad informed us that we have a press conference tomorrow. So me and mom decided to do shopping, so that we can buy perfect dresses and matching accessories and all", Alia says excitedly.

"We will call some designer and ask them to design our dresses. They will take care of it. No need for shopping and all", Abhi tells her irritatedly.

"We are going. Mom decided already and we have to do wardrobe shopping for bhabhi too", alia replies frowning as her excitement dies down.

Abhi looked at Pragya, who is already looking at him in horror as she never liked hours and hours of shopping, it wasn't her cup of tea.

"Then you both go and finish everything", Abhi told Alia.

Alia turns to Pragya and said, "Actually I forgot, mom called you downstairs, bhabhi"

Pragya nodes and walked out of the room, confirming that she left alia turned to Abhi and says, "She has been here for almost three days like a prisoner, so we tried to make use of this situation and pull her out of everything happened. But you and your big mouth"

"You should have said this first. But she doesn't like shopping and all, so try not to piss her off by your shopping skills"

"Fine, get ready soon", alia replies and moved out.

*******

"Whatever you want to buy, please make it quick", Ram instructed his wife and daughter as they reached the mall quickly from home.

"Yeah yeah. Abhi, you take Pragya with You and select some jewelry"Priya said and turns to Ram and Alia "You both come with me"

Little later, the ladies keeps themselves busy in shopping while Ram was sitting there disinterested and surfing his mobile.

On the other side,

"This?", Abhi asked pragya by showing her earrings.

"No", Pragya replied without looking at that.

"Ok. How about this?", Abhi shows a pair of bangles.

"No", Pragya replied irritatedly.

"Atleast this?", Abhi shows some other pair of bangles.

"NO. I said NO", Pragya whispers furiously.

"Mom will scream at me if I say, you didn't like anything and don't want to buy anything. Please?", Abhi asked her in a cutest tone.

Pragya sighs and answered him, "Even if you buy, I won't be wearing all this"

"We will buy something, you wear it in some occasions and keep it safe with you. And by the way, jewelry is not any material we buy by seeing the expiry date. We can use it life long. Ok?"

"Ok", Pragya replies half heartedly.

"Abhi", Ram, who came there to check them called him.

"Yes, dad?", Abhi turns to look at him.

"I am getting headache seeing your mom's shopping. So I am going to the book shop in second floor. Call me if you are done", Ram informs him.

"Book shop!! Can I join you?", Pragya asked excitedly.

"Oh no", Abhi mutters silently.

"Yes. You read books? Which genre?", Ram asked her surprised.

Pragya quickly tells him,"I do. Mystery, thriller and..."

"Horror?", Ram asked expectedly.

"Yes", Pragya giggles when she saw Abhi, who is making faces at their conversation.

"I don't understand how you both have similar tastes like this", Abhi says.

"Are you coming with me?", Pragya asked him as she was ready to go to the book shop.

"No. I will finish this and join you. You both carry on", Abhi smiles.

They both nodes and left for their book shopping. Abhi started to see some elegant designer jewelry and that's when his attention caught on something. He quickly bought that, which he thought Pragya will like it.

Soon the ladies finished their shopping and came back to Abhi, meanwhile Pragya and Ram also finished their book shopping and joined the rest of family members. After having lunch from the restaurant, they went to buy costumes for each of them.

By evening, they finished their shopping and returned back to home with lots of purchased bags. The next morning, everything was ready for the press conference.

"Abhi, give this to Pragya and ask her to wear this", Priya said giving him a big set of necklace with matching bangles and earrings.

"I wish to live many years happily with her. If I give her this, she will eat my head. You go and give it to her", Abhi replies in horror.

"I told you right? Your son is a useless", Ram said by flipping the newspaper.

Abhi roles his eyes while Priya was about to argue with him, but she noticed Alia moving upstairs with stylist.

"Alia", Priya called her and when she came towards her, Priya said, "Make sure, Pragya wears this today. I have some other works too. You take care of it"

"Ok, mom. Anything else?", Alia asked after taking the jewelry box from her mom.

"Yes. Don't irritate her with your make-up skills. Either with or without make-up, she will look pretty only", Abhi tells her while Alia frowns.

"I know what to do and what not to do", alia replies arrogantly and left with the stylist.

"Don't tell me you are going to do make-over to me!!", Pragya asked Alia in horror when she noticed the stylist who had spread all cosmetics on the table opposite to her.

"Yes. And you gonna wear this too, look how pretty is this. Mom selected this for you with so much of love", Alia says by showing the jewelry set to pragya.

Pragya wanted to faint when she saw the big heavy jewelry which she never has been fascinated. Without minding Pragya's protests, alia dragged her to the dressing table and the stylist started to do her work.

Some moments later, Alia asked the stylist to leave when she was done with her work and now it would be their private time. Alia walks into the dressing room and came back with two boxes after raiding the wardrobe.

She handover that boxes to Pragya, she curiously opened it and her eyes filled with tears the very next second when she saw the mangalsutra and red chooda in it.

The moment when Abhi tied it on her neck months back came back as flashes infront of her eyes. Eventhough she is always his wife, now she gonna become Mrs. Pragya Abhishek Prem Mehra officially.

Now, she no longer has to hide her right as his wife from the world. No one gonna question her if she wear these. More than all the accessories she has been gifted, she felt complete and happy only if she wear these.

The joy is indescribable when she thinks about that day when she became his wife. She felt someone's hand on her shoulder and looked up to find Alia smiling at her seeing through the mirror.

"Happy?", Alia asked her as she held Pragya's shoulder with both of her hands on either sides by standing behind her.

"So much! I...", Pragya stops with loss of words to describe her emotions.

They both turned towards the door when someone opened it. That wasn't someone but Abhi, who is poking his head inside.

"Come inside, bhai", alia called him while Pragya stands straight in her place.

"Everything done?", Abhi asked as he stepped inside his room.

"Have a look", alia says by turning Pragya to face him.

Abhi stares her with wide opened mouth without even blinking his eyes. Pragya blushes seeing him staring at her and hears alia's soft chuckle, and she quickly looks away in embarrassment Abhi is creating now.

"But one thing is missing, bhai", Alia informed him as she realised he is not in a state to speak anything.

Retrieved from the sweet shock, Abhi asks her, " What was that? We don't have time also"

"This. Make her wear this", Alia points him the mangalsutra which Pragya was holding securely.

Abhi smiles as he was the protector for the mangalsutra and her red chooda from the day he promised her that she can rightfully wear this infront of the world once their problems were sorted out. Eventhough there are problems still in their life, they no longer need to hide their marriage from the world.

He takes the mangalsutra from her hand smilingly and make her wear it which made few drops of tears to escape from Pragya's eyes out of joy. Alia captured the perfect moment in her mobile.

"What if I couldn't be there in your marriage, atleast I get to see this", Alia says showing him the photo while Abhi smiles.

"Oye, now don't cry and spoil alia's hard-work. Then she will kill me for making you cry", Abhi told Pragya chuckling.

Alia side hugs her and tells Abhi, "Happy tears, bhai" and Pragya smiles hearing her.

"Ok, now you get out", Abhi told Alia with a straight smile.

"Excuse me?"

"You heart it right"

"You could have been polite atleast", alia mutters and left the room.

Abhi turns to Pragya and says, "Sit" and makes her to sit on the bed and sat opposite to her.

He bends down a little and held her leg, when Pragya asks in panic, "What are you doing? Don't touch my leg, you stupid. Leave. Didn't you hear?"

"Shut up. You are asking me so many questions nowadays", Abhi scolds her and he placed her toe on his knee.

"And I'll scream a lot too. If you didn't stop touching my leg then I will scream"

Abhi doesn't bother to her protests as he takes a box from his pocket and takes out the anklet from it and makes her wear that.

"I'll wear it. You leave my leg first", Pragya says as she doesn't like he was touching her feet.

By that time, Abhi had finished his work. He looked at her and says, "Now you can scream"

Pragya glares at him while he smiles seeing her nose turning red in anger and he asks, "How did you escaped from Alia by not wearing the necklace mom gave you?"

Pragya sighs and answers, "She understood that necklace was almost strangling my neck and even I couldn't breathe properly by wearing that. So she agreed to remove that, but I had to wear this big earring instead"

"It looks pretty on you", Abhi smiles while she blushed and he continues, "I know you won't be wearing any other jewels so that I bought this anklet. How is this?"

"So cute", Pragya smiles happily as she liked it very much. Its almost like her choice.

Abhi moved to sit beside her.

Pragya worriedly asks him, "Do I look like a ghost in this make-up? Alia told me she was doing minimal make-up only. But still..."

"Yo do look like a ghost. But a beautiful ghost, who trapped my heart with her magical smile", Abhi teased her.

"Shut up", Pragya hits his shoulder laughing and they saw Alia entering inside with her mobile on her ear.

"Bhai, Bhabhi. Come let's go down. Mom is calling you both as she wanted to do some puja before press meeting", alia tells them as she entered in the room.

"Ok", Abhi stands up and offers his hand to Pragya and she holds it with a smile.

They took their first step together towards the awaiting future valuing the vows the took during their marriage. Future is unpredictable but they had decided to be with eachother in every ups and downs.

Note: Uff 😅😅 such a big update I guess. It was  so long and I couldn't help it. Sorry if it was really too long.

To be continued...

With love,

Sweety
