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 😜😜...

"What happened, Ram uncle? Isn't that Abhi screaming?", Dev asks Ram, who came to Mehra mansion with his wife for a visit.

"Dev Bhai... Bhabhi is not well and I am trying to contact our family doctor but her phone is unreachable", Alia tells him worried.

"Alia, relax. Let me know what happened", Sonakshi asked her while Alia proceeds to tell everything. Hearing Alia, Dev looks at Ruhi suspiciously who was standing there blankly with teary eyes.

"Oh no... Where is she now?", Sonakshi asks Alia in concern.

Alia takes her to Abhi's room quickly while Ram and Dev followed them. Ruhi looks up at Abhi's room while a tear drop fell down from her eyes.

When they entered, they found Priya sprinkling water on Pragya's face and Abhi patting her cheek trying to get response from her.

"Mom... I am taking her to hospital", Abhi tells Priya as he tried to pick her up but stops hearing Sonakshi's voice.

"Abhi, calm down first. I'll check her, you all please wait outside", Sonakshi tells them.

"I will stay here", Abhi tells her stubbornly, heart beating fast in fear.

"Don't delay Pragya's treatment, Abhi. Come, we'll wait outside", Priya tells Abhi as she tried to take him out.

Sonakshi turns and checks Pragya's pulse and found its going low. Abhi was about to go out when he heard Sonakshi, "Oh no"

Abhi turns and walks back to bed and asks her panicked, "What happened?"

"Nothing, Abhi. Please wait outside", Sonakshi quickly tells him and gestures Dev to take him out.

Dev nods and drags Abhi out from there. Once everyone left, Sonakshi examines Pragya. Abhi and family were impatiently waiting outside to hear that both Pragya and her baby are fine.

Sonakshi comes out hurriedly and forwards a prescription, "Can anyone bring these medicines?"

"I'll get it", Alia grabs the prescription and rushes out.

Abhi stops Sonakshi when she was about to go back in, "Can you tell me what's happening here? What happened to Pragya? "

Sonakshi looks at him for a second and sighs, "Sorry, Abhi"

She walks back to the room while Abhi and others stood there worried and confused.

"What?... Sorry means? What does she mean by sorry?, Abhi blabbers staring at the way she went and turning to Ram, he asks, "What was she saying, dad? Pragya is not fine? Ofcourse, she is not! She was unconsious, she wasn't talking to me. What happened to her? "

"Stop it, Abhi. Just stop jumping into conclusion by your own. Let Sonakshi come and tell us. Pragya will be alright ", Ram consoles Abhi and turns to look at his wife whose face has gone pale hearing Sonakshi.

He knows what Priya might be feeling now, and he can clearly understand Abhi's state. Everything was going perfect till morning, but now...

Alia came back with the medicine and quickly hand overs it to Sonakshi and stood outside praying hard that nothing should go wrong. Dev goes near Abhi and keeps his hand over his shoulder in a consoling way, afterall Abhi was his best friend. Ruhi was just standing away from all like a zombie as she tried to process the things happening around her. She couldn't digest the fact that she was one of the reason behind Abhi's worry which she never wanted to become.

Half an hour later, Sonakshi comes out and walks towards the family who were anxiously waiting for her.

Abhi asks her impatiently, "Please tell me, my Pragya is fine"

"She is fine now", Sonakshi tells him.

Everyone let out a relief breathe except Priya because everyone heard what she said but she was thinking about what she didn't said.

"Thank you. Thank you so much, Sonakshi", Abhi thanks her and was about to go inside but Sonakshi stopped him.

"I just said that she is fine now, Abhi. If we didn't come here on correct time, god knows what might have happened. Is this how you take care of her?", Sonakshi asks him angrily.

"Sona... What happened to you? Abhi is our friend", Dev reminds her surprised of her this behaviour.

"And you don't forget Pragya is also our friend, Dev. I agree that we know her for nearly 3 to 4 months but still she is our friend and most importantly I am her doctor. I clearly told him to take care of her properly and keep her stress free when they came to hospital to collect reports because I know in what situation Pragya came to this house and there was high chances that she would miss her family hearing this happy news which would stress her out", Sonakshi tells Dev and turning to Abhi, she asks sternly, "Didn't I?"

Abhi stood there numb hearing her accusation. Because she was right. He didn't took good care of his Pragya.

"Pragya and baby... Both are fine, right?", Priya asks in a shivering tone.

Sonakshi takes a deep breathe and tells her calmly, "They are aunty. But what happened today was not fine. Aunty, you very well know how crucial the first trimester is. Pragya was stressed out and top of all that she didn't have anything from the morning. The first and last thing she had was some sort of spicy dish which she is allergic to. Is this how you all take care of her? There were high chances which would have caused miscarriage"

Abhi was too shocked to react when he realised how careless he was. If something happened like Sonakshi told, what he would have done? What he would have told Pragya?

"If something like this happens again, then we can't expect a miracle to happen like today. So please be careful ", Sonakshi advices them and adds, "I am changing her diet chart and prescribed medicines. She should be at bed rest atleast for 3 to 4 days. It will take some time for her to gain conscious, don't worry"

After giving tons of do's and don'ts and some consoling words, Dev and Sonakshi left Mehra mansion. Abhi closes his eyes in relief as he tried to control the threatening tears. If something happens again, he would kill himself but now...

Ram holds Priya by her shoulder gesturing her to be calm and Alia walks to her parents as she hugged them. Abhi opened his eyes and saw his dad, mom and sister as family, his family. How he wished to see him, Pragya and their baby like this, a family. He had build a dream castle over night and a single mistake had made a crack on it. He turns to go towards his room when his eyes fell on Ruhi. The bolted up anger, frustration overpowered his thinking ability, he walked towards her as he stood infront of her. By looking at his eyes, Ruhi can clearly see the hatred he had developed on her because of her mistake.

"Thank you... Thank you for taking care of my Pragya exactly like how I requested you. Thank you for making me to realise that I shouldn't have left her alone. There is no mistake of yours, it's all my foolishness because I believed that my friend is her friend too, so she will take care of my Pragya. But now I realised that you are a complete stranger for Pragya and I shouldn't have left her alone with a stranger", Abhi tells her, his each word is dripping with sarcasm which tears Ruhi's heart as tears fell from her eyes.

"Abhi... Is this how you behave with her?", Ram scolds him but Abhi left to his room without a word.

Ram goes to Ruhi and says, "I am sorry on behalf of him, Ruhi beta"

Ruhi hugs him and cries, "I didn't do anything intentionally uncle, please believe me. I would never do something which would hurt Abhi"

"I know, Ruhi. I know. Don't mistake him, beta. You understand his situation, right? He can't tolerate even if Pragya got normal fever but this... None of us expected this. It will take a lot of time for him to become normal. Give him some space ", Ram consoles her while Ruhi just nods and wipes her tears.

Alia glares at Ruhi and walks to the kitchen not liking her father consoling someone who was the cause for the problem. Ram sees Priya going towards their room and follows her. Ruhi sits on the couch closing her eyes as she tried to shut the image of Abhi's hatred filled eyes.

*******

Abhi enters his room and found Pragya lying there unconsiously. She looked pale and extremely tired. Abhi lays beside her and gently kisses her forehead as he held her hand over her abdomen.

"I am sorry, fuggi", Abhi whispers softly with tears.

Don't know why, but he blames himself even if she gets a small scratch. She is a very precious possession of his life and now their little one too. He has always put her above himself, he has always made her his priority and even he don't have any explanation for that. He loves to love her and being loved by her. In simple words, Pragya becomes his world when he started loving her.

Thinking about all their lovely moments, he slowly closed his eyes as sleep overpowered him. Little later, Alia comes to their room and found her brother sleeping. She sighs sadly thinking about her Bhai and bhabhi's condition. She softly closed the door and went from there.

*******

"What would have happened there? Is Pragya di fine? I shouldn't have agreed to Mom's decision", Bulbul blabbers walking tensed.

"Calm down, Bulbul. She must be fine there", Purab tries to calm her.

"They why did Alia came here and said all those? Then why did Ram uncle came and threatened my mom? If she is fine then why?", Bulbul asks him.

"I don't have answers for your questions. But I can say that Abhi is there and he will take good care of Pragya di. Not just Abhi, his entire family. I have known them for ages Bulbul. They accept someone who they love as their family and they never let their family member down. So please calm down", Purab tells her calmly.

"I just wish I could atleast talk to di"

"Pragya di lied to aunty that you didn't know about her love because she knew that if Ragini aunty get to know about your involvement, she will not even think twice and who knows she would have disowned you too. Then aunty will be all alone, no one to take care of her, no one to share her fear with. Pragya di doesn't want that, so she let all this happen. In short, she distanced herself so that what if not her, atleast you and aunty will be there for eachother. Do you agree this?"

Bulbul thinks calmly and nods. She knew how her sister was. But still she couldn't believe that her sister, who would never do something which hurts their mother, had went against her and married the man whom their mother never liked.

Seeing her still confused, "If you are not convinced, then let me call her"

"No please. I... I think, I should let it go. Di trusted me with mom, if mom gets to know that I talked with di, she won't talk to me ever. And if di gets to know this, she will not be happy. I don't want to break their trust on me"

Seeing Bulbul's adorably confused state, Purab chuckles. Bulbul glares him angrily.

"Laugh... Laugh more. You might be feeling funny seeing me like this. Even mom and di might be thinking like that only. That's why they are using me like a football. Now see where I am stuck. I want to be with them both, but now I am in a state to choose any one and I don't want that. I want both my mom and di, not just one among them"

Purab sighs and tells her side hugging, "Everything will be alright soon. You will be with your mom and di like you wished"

Bulbul looks at him suspiciously, "How do you know?"

"Because I am a wizard", Purab tells her cheekily.

Bulbul rolls her eyes and went from there thinking how much it helps if she shares her worries with Purab. Once she left, Purab smiles and thinks, "Because I know something is not right with Pragya di. Maybe she is missing you both and as far as I know, Abhi will do everything that can make di happy. And my gut feelings is saying very soon, he will do something to patch up Ragini aunty and Pragya di. I wish that day come soon because I can't able to see you like this, Bulbul"

*******

A little later,

"You said it will take sometime for her to gain conscious. It's been three hours but still she is unconscious", Abhi shouts at Sonakshi in call.

"Will you please shut up?! Why are you hurrying in everything? Just let her take some rest, it will be good for her and for your kind information, save your energy because I am sure if Pragya wakes up, you are going to have a tough time in handling her. Good bye", Sonakshi barks from the other end and ends the call.

Abhi looks at his phone confused and thinks, "How dare she? I am worried here but she is making fun of my situation. How irresponsible and insensitive doctor she is!?!?"

On the other side, Dev chuckles seeing his wife's annoyance as Abhi called her 3 times in an hour stating Pragya's condition.

Sonakshi glares and asks him, "What kind of friend you are having? First he didn't take care of his wife properly and now torturing me when she is much better than before"

"Sona... You very well know about Abhi but still talking like this?", Dev asks seriously.

"I am sorry. But Dev, do you think whatever happened was an accident or...?" Sonakshi asks him.

"I have the same doubt. Because I know how Ruhi was. Our friends circle know Ruhi through Abhi, and it was quite evident that Ruhi had some sort of feelings for Abhi which was more than friendship, we have seen many a times Ruhi threatening other girls even they talk with Abhi in a friendly manner. The only person who is unaware of all this was Abhi. He had no idea about all this. When Abhi said Ruhi moved to Dubai with her father, we thought we misunderstood her, but now..."

"Do you think she did it deliberately?", Sonakshi asked him shocked.

"I am not sure. Ruhi was always possesive about Abhi and she never let other girls enter his life. But now she knew about Pragya and Abhi's love for his wife... But I am not sure whether she can stoop to this level to hurt Pragya and her baby..."

"Don't you think we should inform Abhi about this?"

"No... Let it be. Abhi was always protective about Pragya and after whatever happened today, he will not take any risk. And moreover I noticed Abhi's anger for Ruhi which I have never seen as she was one of his close friends. I think he will not let something like this to happen again", Dev informs her while Sonakshi nods.

Meanwhile in Mehra mansion, Ram is consoling Priya in their room.

"Priya please understand, Pragya and baby is fine. Don't start worrying unnecessarily", Ram tells her.

"Unnecessarily? Seriously Ram? I am worried because I don't want to see our children at a point where your parents and we were once. I don't want them to lose their first child like we did", Priya states in anger.

"For God sake, please stop it, Priya. My parents lost their first child and we lost our first child, both are two different things and it was a mere coincidence. It doesn't have any connection like you are thinking. Please stop comparing what happened to my parents, us and now with Abhi and Pragya", Ram tells her irritated.

"How it is different? Tell me! How it is different, Ram? If I am not understanding then please make me. Your parents first child was still born, our first child didn't even last for 3 months and we lost it... Now..."

"You know what, it useless to argue with you. I am telling you to forget everything nearly 3 decades but you didn't and you are not letting me to forget even. If you want to keep remembering all this then do as per your wish but I am warning you, Priya. If these things goes to Abhi and Pragya's ears and they starts worrying because of this... I don't know what I'll do then", Ram warns her and left from there closing the door with a thud.

Priya sits on the bed and cries thinking about her lost child. She was always a lenient parent as she doesn't want her children to face any kind of unhappy situation from their childhood till now due to the miscarriage she faced during her first pregnancy. And what happened with Pragya now, had shaken her completely.

When Priya faced miscarriage, Ram told her that his parent's first baby was still born unaware of that his words would create a big impact on Priya. She started believing that this misery will pass to the next generation and what happened now has made her belief even more stronger.

Ram walks to the hall frustrated and heard Abhi shouting at Alia.

"Will you stop torturing me? How many times I told you to leave me alone? I'll not die if I didn't eat for a day", Abhi shouts at Alia, who was pestering him to eat something as he haven't had anything from the morning.

"Have you taken any oath to scream at all the people who comes before your eyes? It's not like you should scream at every other person just because you are worried", Ram scolds him for his behaviour.

"You will not understand me because you haven't faced a situation like me, right?", Abhi scoffs.

Hearing Abhi's words, the anger and frustration which Ram had handled all these years came out. Ram holds Abhi's shirt collar in anger, "Who said I haven't faced such situation? I had lost my first child and I am still trying to forget about that. I prayed each and every day that my children shouldn't face such a situation as mine but you are saying that I won't understand you. Dare to raise such a question to me again"

Ram leaves him and steps back. Abhi and Alia stood silently trying to digest what their father told. Looking at their face, Ram realised what he had just said in anger. He closed his eyes in regret and guilt as he just a while ago warned his wife not to mention this to their children but now... Seeing her father emotional for the first time, Alia hugs Ram to console him while Ram closed his eyes to control himself. Abhi steps back in guilt for not keeping any of his family member happy. Without a word he walks back to his room.

When Abhi opens his room door, he found Pragya attempting to step down from the bed. He immediately rushed towards her and made her to sit properly and makes her drink water and hugged her tightly.

"I was so scared. Thank God you are fine", Abhi tells her in relief as he hugged her tight and kisses her cheek.

"Abhi... ", Pragya whispers weakly.

Hearing her saying his name, Abhi let the tears fell which he was holding all these while. He broke the hug when Pragya calls him again and kisses her forehead deeply.

Pragya gently wipes his tears and tells, "I am sorry. I should have been a little more careful. When I woke up, you were not there and no one were at home that time. I was feeling so lost and I didn't notice the food... I was..."

"Hey... It was not your fault. I shouldn't have left you alone like that. You always say that I am careless, today I proved it right"

Pragya nods no and hugs him and tells, "Fine... I'll not give you another chance to blame yourself for every simple mistakes. I promise"

Abhi hugs her tight and replies, "Please don't let me"

They parts when they heard a knock on the door. Alia comes inside and kept the fruit plate on side table. She sits beside Pragya and hugs her gently.

"We all are so scared bhabhi. Are you feeling fine now?", Alia asks her softly.

"Better. But..."

"What? Are you feeling any pain? Shall we go to doctor?", Abhi asks quickly.

"No... I am just... feeling so weak"

"That is what happens when you haven't eat anything from the morning. Don't forget you are pregnant", Alia tells her gently and gets the fruit plate for Pragya.

"Give it to me, I'll... ", Abhi starts saying but Alia ignored him and goes towards Pragya with the plate.

Pragya looks on while Alia starts feeding the fruits to Pragya.

"We were trying to get our family doctor, but she was unreachable. Thank God Sonakshi di and Dev Bhai came unexpectedly. We all were so scared seeing you like that. She changed your diet chart and you should be in bed rest atleast for a week. So no work, only rest. Got it", Alia informs Pragya.

"And I'll make sure of that. Oh I remember, you have the new prescription, right?", Abhi asks Alia but she continued to ignore him as she feed Pragya talking with her.

Seeing the difference, Pragya reminds Alia, "Abhi is asking you something, Alia"

"Oh god, bhabhi... I forgot to inform mom and dad that you gained consious. Let me go and inform them. You please finish everything, no excuses, ok?", Alia tells and rushes out to inform her parents.

"What happened to her? Do you know what happened or did you do something?", Pragya asks Abhi suspiciously.

Abhi hesitated for a second and tells her how he behaved rudely with his sister and father excluding his father's outburst about his first child and his outburst on Ruhi. He doesn't want Pragya to take more stress because of his behaviour.

"What have you done, Abhi? You will scream at all the people before you, if you are upset or angry? ", Pragya scolds him.

"No... It's not like that", Abhi tried to explain her.

"Then what... How can you be so immature, Abhi? They are family and they were equally worried. What was... Ahh ", Pragya shouts as she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

"Pragya... You please relax. Calm down and take a breathe. It's not good for you both to take stress. Just take a deep breath ok", Abhi instructs her worriedly. Pragya did as Abhi said and the pain reduced subsequently.

"Better now?", Abhi asks her while she nods positively. Abhi continues, "I am sorry for whatever happened earlier. When I saw you like that, I don't know what to do and I forgot everything. I am telling you, this won't happen again"

"You should apologise to uncle and Alia, not me. I understand that you are concerned about me and baby, but this is not right"

"Exactly! You are not listening to us, but atleast listen to her", Ram tells entering their room with Priya and Alia tailing behind him.

Priya sits beside Pragya as she hugged her and starts scolding, "Do you know how scared we all were? Can't you be little more careful, especially when we were not around? Why I am even blaming you, its my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone when you..."

"I am sorry, aunty. Really really sorry. But please stop blaming yourself. Just now I made Abhi understand. Now you...", Pragya tells her in a complaining tone.

"After all, Mom and son... ", Ram tells Pragya rolling his eyes while Pragya chuckles litely.

Abhi looks at Ram apologetically, "I am sorry, dad. I am extremely sorry. I promise that this won't happen again"

"Promise something which you can keep, Abhi. You can't control your anger, so don't promise on that", Ram tells him and continues, "But Haan... You can promise me that you will convince my princess and will make sure that she forgives you. Remember, in childhood...?"

Abhi smirks and looks at Alia while she looks at her father shocked for changing his team. Noticing Abhi approaching her, Alia starts walking backwards.

"I am sorry, Alia. Won't you forgive your only brother?", Abhi asks mischievously while Priya and Ram controls their laugh and Pragya looks on mildly curious.

"Mom... No... Dad, Please help me", Alia calls them for help and runs around Ram while Abhi runs behind her trying to tickle her.

Pragya starts laughing seeing the brother sister duo while Ram and Priya joined her.

"Bhabhi... Mom, dad... Aaahhh", Alia once again calls them for help as she runs out of the room and Abhi follows her outside.

Pragya stops laughing when she felt the pain again.

"Careful, beta. Calm down and breathe. Inhale and exhale", Priya guides her concerned and once Pragya was normal, Priya shared the do's and don'ts to make sure she doesn't get into any unwanted complications.

"And you must take care of yourself very well or else your husband will go complete insane. Not for him but atleast to save us from him, you should be careful, ok?", Ram tells her jovially as he sits on the bed facing Priya and  Pragya. 

Priya noticed that Pragya didn't complete the fruits, she insisted her to eat the remaining. After that, Ram and Priya made her sleep and walks out. They found Alia throwing whatever her hand picks on Abhi while he was trying to apologize to her. Ram turns to Priya and informed her that now Abhi and Alia know about their first child and how he blurted out everything.

"I am sorry. I warned you not to tell them anything. But at the end... I am extremely sorry, I shouldn't have behaved like that", Ram apologized to Priya.

Priya sighs sadly and tells him, "It was not your fault also, Ram. Actually you were right, whatever happened is happened. Let's just focus on our present. I'll try my level best to forget or atleast try not to remember that incident. We'll be happy and will keep our children happy too"

Ram smiles and hugs her. They both went down and tried to make patch up between their children. Once Alia understood, she forgave Abhi with a last warning.

"Phew... Finally! And once again, I am sorry", Abhi said and asks, "Pragya...?!"

"She slept. You come and have dinner. No one had anything from morning. Have dinner and sleep soon", Priya tells them as she guide everyone to dinning table.

After dinner, Abhi and Alia went to their room. Ram and Priya went to Ruhi's room with her dinner. They know what she might be feeling now, they consider Ruhi as their child just like Alia and Abhi. When they entered, they found Ruhi talking with her mother's photo as she cried. Ram and Priya felt bad for her.

Priya goes and sits beside her, "Ruhi..."

Ruhi wipes her tears and tells her, "I didn't do anything intentionally then why Abhi did think of me like that aunty. Doesn't he know me for years? We were friends from childhood, right? I understand he was worried but ..."

Ram calmly tells her as he sits infront of her, "You are feeling bad because you are seeing this side of him now only, right? We have seen this so many times. Do you know, when Pragya's mother get to know about their love, she slapped Pragya because she doesn't like Abhi. When Abhi get to know this, he didn't even spare her mother. It was not just his anger, it was his love for Pragya. You understand, right?"

Ruhi hears everything with heavy heart. She couldn't able to digest that Abhi loves Pragya so much which she could never imagine. It's getting hard for her and she needs to be alone so she just simply nods her head.

"Don't worry. Once he calmed down, he will come to apologise to you. Ok? Now eat this, I know even you haven't eat anything from morning. Complete your dinner and sleep ", Priya tells her lovingly while Ruhi just smiles and starts eating.

Once Ruhi slept, Ram and Priya went to their room. Ruhi opened her eyes once they left. She gets out from her bed and went to kitchen. She searched for something and picked up the box once she got it and came back to her room. It starts raining, Ruhi went to balcony and sits on the chair kept there as she opened the box. She picked the green chilli and started eating it while her eyes were red due to anger.

Abhi lays beside Pragya as he softly caressed her face. Pragya snuggles close to him when she felt the cool breeze. Abhi kisses her forehead and sleeps holding her hand.

*******

Abhi took good care of Pragya and the family members didn't let her move out from the room. Abhi made sure Pragya was not feeling any uncomfortableness and he gradually reduced going out for work as he handled everything remotely. When she gets bored, Ram would accompany her with book in his free time. Just like that a week went in a jiffy. All the time, Abhi made sure Ruhi was not around Pragya as his anger doesn't subside till.

One fine day,

Everyone was having their breakfast, when Pragya put forth her view to resume her job.

"I understand you love your job and want to work. I don't like to stop you but I am still worried beta. I am not restricting you... You can go, but you have to follow my instructions strictly ok", Priya tells her little worried.

"Done. Whatever you say, I'll do all that. And thank you for supporting me", Pragya tells Priya as she hugged her while Priya smiles.

Abhi and others smiles seeing them and later, Priya filled Pragya's ears with tons of do's and don'ts and also instructed her not to have outside food as it's not good for her. Once everything was cleared, Ram and Alia went for their work.

Abhi noticed Pragya was looking at him suspiciously as he talked with his manager. He gestures her as what, but she simply stares at him. Abhi cuts the call and goes to her.

"Are you drooling over me? I know I am handsome and irresistible", Abhi tells her smirking pulling her close.

"I was just trying to find an answer for my question Mr. Handsome ", Pragya tells him.

"Acha... You can directly ask me anything, my darling. What is that?", Abhi tells her smiling.

"No. Leave it. You can't answer", Pragya tells little upset as she tried to go but Abhi hugs her from behind.

"Tell me what's that. I am sure, I will tell you whatever it is, if I don't know then also I'll find it out and let you know", Abhi tells as he kissed her hair.

"I am telling you, right? You can't", Pragya tells him.

"How can you decide without telling me? Just give it a try", Abhi tells her lovingly.

"Pakka?"

"Ofcourse"

"You were saying, you decided baby's name even before our marriage, right. What's the name?", Pragya asks him smiling sweetly.

Looking at her face Abhi get to know that she was making him to spill the truth and now he is trapped.

"It's cheating, you cheater cock"

"What I did? I already told you, you can't answer. But it's you who compelled me. Now I want my answer Mr. Mehra", Pragya says as she tied her hands across her chest.

"Don't call me that", Abhi tells her annoyed.

"Then tell me. I gave you the responsibility to name our baby, but you are not even sharing the name with me. Fine, don't tell me. I'll go and tell aunty and uncle that you are not telling me the name ", Pragya tells him as she walks out of the room calling Priya and Ram.

"Fuggi wait... ", Abhi runs behind her to stop her but in vain. Before he could stop her, she informed Ram and Priya about what happened just a while ago.

Alia who came talking with Siddanth noticed this and cuts the call assuring him to meet in an hour. Ruhi was already sitting in the hall as she discussed about her dad's business with Ram.

"You decided name? We thought we will get a chance to select name for the baby", Priya tells him.

"What's this? It's my right to name my niece or nephew as a bua. How dare you to snatch my rights from me, Bhai?", Alia asks him outraged.

"No. It's Abhi's right. He will decide everything regarding the baby. But that's not the point here. Uncle, please ask him to tell the name", Pragya asks looking at Ram.

"I am sure, name would be like his songs. Meaningless", Alia tells rolling her eyes.

Abhi glares at her," Oye..."

"What?", Pragya asks shocked as she glared at Abhi while he nods his head negetively.

"If not, then tell us. What's the problem?", Ram asks him.

"My daughter's name was supposed to be a surprise dad!", Abhi tells him in fed-up tone.

"Daughter? What if son?", Priya asks curiously.

"If Abhi is telling, then it's our daughter only", Pragya informs them smiling.

"Beta... It's actually unbelievable for me that you love him, but it doesn't mean you should say yes when he says yes and no when he says no", Ram tells her.

"Sometimes, I don't understand you both", Priya tells shaking her head.

Abhi and Pragya looks at eachother and chuckles. Ruhi looks at Pragya keenly trying to progress what Pragya have that she doesn't.

"Ok... Coming to the point. What's the name, Bhai?", Alia asks gaining everyone's attention.

Pragya looks at him excited, Ram and Priya looks at him curiously.

Abhi looks at Pragya as he smiles softly and tells, "Anaya"

Hearing the name, Pragya's eyes filled with tears. She goes to him as she hugged him tightly confusing the family members.

Ruhi looked at them while her grip on the pen was tightened as she broke the pen and her eyes become red with tears.

To be continued...

With love,

Sweety
