Let's step inside the story...

At blue shine restaurant,

       After informing Pragya to reach the restaurant, Abhi waited for them to reach. He determined to solve the issues at any cost, he was restlessly standing at the place where he reserved for them. He thought to call Purab. He turned and saw Pragya coming towards his place with a pale face,he noticed her eyes lost the usual glitter due to continues crying and sleeplessness. Even now too he can see the tears which were about to fall at anytime, before he could react she hugged him and let out her tears.

"Tell me if your tear tank is fully dried, I won't stop you", said Abhi without breaking the hug to make her stop crying.

Hearing his words she stopped crying and says without breaking the hug, " I am not crying here, you know bulbul doesn't even speak a word with me from yesterday".

 "Same here, purab is fuming like a Valcano. Don't worry we will make them understand", says Abhi.

 They both broke the hug when the heard, "we are here", said bulbul and Purab who came just now and saw them hugging.

 "Sorry we...", Said Abhi.

But before he could complete purab interrupts him and says, " Will you both do for what we are here? (turns to bulbul) Come we will sit there".

Bulbul and purab went from there while Pragya looked at Abhi and says, "I think we should tell them everything, If we tell them now it will better".

"Are you sure? I can't predict their reaction when they get to know whole truth", replied Abhi worryingly.

Pragya just nods her head as yes and both went to their place. They sat opposite to Rabul.

"Whatever you both want to tell, just tell us quickly. Don't try to hide anything", warns bulbul by giving a stern look to Abhi.

"For how many days you both know eachother?", asked Purab by crossing his arms across his chest.

"Nearly one year", replied Pragya which makes Rabul to gasp in shock.

Pragya turns and looked at Abhi and he holds her palms under the table to give support.

"😳 You both hided your relationship from one year?", asked bulbul unbelievably.

" No... We know eachother since one year, we were friends then", defended Abhi .

"Then when you start to love her", asked Purab 🤨 by rising his eyebrows.

"It's almost 8 months", replied Abhi with a smile 🙂.

"Don't smile Mr...  Di, You never told anything about that you know this rockstar. Why?", asked bulbul sternly with a angry look.

"She doesn't know about me then... I mean she didn't know that I am the rockstar, she get to know about this before I propose her", defended Abhi.

"Why are you always defending her? I am asking her something, can't she speak? If I consider that she didn't know you, then what about after she get to know. Then too she didn't tell me, I thought she will never hide anything from me. Even I said about my love to her before confessing it to purab. But what she did? A big lie...", said bulbul with atmost anger which made Pragya's eyes to shed few drops of tears.

Abhi was about to yell at her, but stopped when he heard another voice.

"Don't talk to her in that tone", said a angry voice behind bulbul.

 All turned to the direction where that voice came, after noticing them purab whispered "alia".

"Mom, alia... What you both are doing here?", asked Abhi by getting up from his place.

"Bhai, why didn't you pick my calls?", asked Alia after taking her seat near Pragya and wiping her tears.

"What I asked you? What you are telling me?", scolded Abhi.

"Don't scold her. We called you but you didn't attend it. Even you didn't return home, I know you went to purab's office so I told alia to call his office and get to know about you. They told you all were decided to meet here. So we came here, we know that these two will not agree easily", says priya after sitting between Alia and bulbul.

"We thought, if we reach here then we will help you to make them understand. But she is scolding my bhabhi infront of you and you are behaving like a dumb", asked alia angrily by giving a stern gaze to bulbul.

"Excuse me, she is my sister. I have all rights to scold her, you don't interfere", said bulbul possessively.

"I know she is your sister, but that doesn't mean you will treat her like this. She loves my bhai, I don't think loving someone is a big sin. Then why are you behaving rude with her?", replied Alia with attitude.

"I am not rude, I am in anger because she hided her love from me. Am I looking like a vamp to her? What's the need to hide this? I am not against her love", scoffed bulbul irritatingly.

 "You are angry, that's why you are letting out your anger on her, right!!", asked Alia annoyingly.

"You both please keep quite, alia why are you fighting with her?😬😬", asked Abhi angrily.

"I just did your job, you should have asked her all this questions. But you didn't... see bhabhi's face. Can't you see??? she is crying?😡😡", replied Alia with the same anger.

"Alia... Please", pleaded Pragya.

"Ok fine😤😤 I won't fight. Sorry", apologised alia.

"Now you both purab and bulbul, try to understand. They didn't mean to hide this from you, they were afraid what if Pragya's mom get to know about this. She will not accept for their relationship definitely, if they told this to you both then somehow your mom will get to know about them. That's why they hided. You both very well know how much her mom hates Abhi and rich people, no one knows the reason for her hatred. So Abhi, first planned to get into your mom's good books, but everytime it ended up by increasing her hatred. Purab You just imagine, you know Abhi very well from his childhood then too you are behaving like this. Then how will her mom react?", reasoned Priya.

Bulbul and purab calmed down, looked at eachother and thinks for a while.

"I never thought they both will ended up like this. It's a huge shock for us. That's why we behaved like that. I am really sorry", apologised purab.

"I am telling you frankly, I am really worried for her future. As I said, I have no objection in their love but my fear is my mom. She will never ever accept their relation, I always wanted my sister to be happy. But I don't want to give her any false beliefs and temporary happiness. Don't think I am speaking negatively, I don't think their love will end in marriage", completed Bulbul sadly.

Abhi and Pragya looked at eachother worriedly that how to open up the whole truth to them. After taking a deep breath, Abhi started to speak.

"We want to tell you all a very important thing", tells Abhi.

"What was that?", asked Priya confusingly.

"Do you have any plan to make bhabhi's mom to understand?", asked alia excitedly.

"Are you waiting for any auspicious time? Tell us quickly Abhi", asked purab.

Again both Abhi and Pragya looked at each other and holds eachother's hand for support beneath the table.

"That... We... We", stammers Abhi with fear.

"Why are you stammering now? Whatever it is, tell us directly",said bulbul.

 Abhi and Pragya closed their eyes tightly and entwined their fingers in fear and says, " We are already married"....

This words made everyone to gasp aloud, they both didn't open their eyes after hearing their gasps....

To be continued...

With love,

Sweety
