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

Sorry for the extreme delay...

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

Few days later, Abhi and Jhanvi were coming out from their class to the canteen area passing by Pragya's classroom. They were about to cross her class when Jhanvi pulled Abhi back.

"What?", Abhi asked her confused adjusting his shirt.

"Go and call Pragya. We'll go together", Jhanvi orders him.

"She will come by herself, right?"

Jhanvi keeps her hand on her forehead tiredly. She had been trying for a few days to bring Abhi and Pragya closer and to make them spend more time with each other unaware of the fact that they both have a constant video calls and messages at night.

"Just go and do as I said", Jhanvi replies pissed.

Abhi shrugs and went inside her classroom and finds some were chatting with their friends. His eyes scanned the room for Pragya, but she was nowhere to be found. Finally, finding one of her friend, he decided to ask her about Pragya.

"Hi, Neha. Do you know where Pragya is?", Abhi asks her standing infront of her place.

"Pragya! I saw her leaving with Ridhima. Maybe they went to library. But I am not sure", Neha tells him unsure.

"Oh! Thanks by the way. See you later", Abhi smiles and walks out from the class.

Finding him coming alone, Jhanvi glares at him. "She is not in there. She went to library it seems. You go and wait in canteen. I'll bring her", Abhi says.

"Good. You go, I'll wait there", Jhanvi says happily and walks to canteen.

Abhi searches for Pragya in library, but she wasn't there. He tried calling her, but Pragya didn't attend his call. Disappointed, Abhi started walking towards the canteen and just then he spots Pragya walking with Ridhima towards the parking.

He rushes to the parking and finds Pragya waving at Ridhima, who waves back at her from a car. Abhi runs towards her and tapped Pragya's shoulder. Pragya smiles seeing him.

"What are you doing here?", Pragya asks him.

"Well, I am supposed to ask you that", Abhi says tying his hand against his chest.

"I came here to drop Ridhima till the car", Pragya says and gestures him bend down, he did as she said while Pragya whispers secretly, "She planned to bunk classes today. So she called her boyfriend"

"Why are you whispering?", Abhi asks chuckling looking at her.

"Simply!", Pragya smiles and says, "And yes, even I planned to bunk classes today. So I am now going out. Bye"

As Pragya turns to go, Abhi held her hand and asks, "Bunking classes? You?"

Pragya sighs and replies, "I have never bunked my classes, so I  never knew how it feels. When we were in library, Ridhima told me how it feels when we bunk a class. Thrill, fear, excitement and she was going on and on. Even I want to experience it all. So I decided"

"You are so silly", Abhi says laughing.

Pragya frowns and about to leave when Abhi held her hand again stopping her. Pragya turns and glared at him. "Wait here", Abhi says.

"Why? I want to go", Pragya says with an innocent pout thinking that he wants to stop her.

"I am not allowing you to go alone anywhere. So wait here, I'll come in a while then we will go where ever you want"

"Really?", Pragya asks smiling excitedly while Abhi winks at her and left. Pragya smiles looking at the way he went and blows a flying kiss.

Abhi finds Jhanvi in the canteen, who was scrolling her mobile with a cup of coffee in her right hand. He thinks for a second, then deciding something he walks away dialing someone. Completing his talk, he came back to canteen and stops near Jhanvi.

"Come let's go", Abhi tells her.

"What? Where to?", Jhanvi asks confused.

Without answering her question, Abhi walks to the parking area in front side of their college campus. Jhanvi follows him by simultaneously asking numerous questions which annoys him a lot. Once they reached the place, Jhanvi started to ask about Pragya. Abhi sighs in relief when he noticed a car approaching them. Jhanvi followed his gaze and gets surprised to see Raghav.

"What happened? You said its really important", Raghav asks Abhi stepping out from his car.

"Yes. Its very very important and urgent too", abhi says holding Jhanvi's hand and then handovers her to Raghav and continues, "Take this idiot and go out"

Jhanvi looks at him with wide opened mouth thinking that he was doing all this to get rid off her bakbaks. Raghav gets surprised as he was planning to ask her out, so that they could spend sometime and get to know about each other more. 

"Why you both are giving weird reactions? Go", Abhi says.

"You?", Raghav asks indirectly indicating that he is interested to go with Jhanvi.

"I planned to bunk classes today. So thought why not to fix a meeting to both of you."

"You didn't tell  me anything", Jhanvi complains.

"Oh please madam. Now don't tell me you are not happy with my decision", Abhi teases her, who in reply turns her face away not wanting them to find what her face is showing.

"You don't have any problem, right? Shall we leave?", Raghav asks Jhanvi.

"She will come, Raghav", Abhi answers instead of  Jhanvi.

"He asked me a question and I was supposed to answer that", Jhanvi says frowning.

"As if you were about to say no", Abhi replies rolling his eyes and then says, "Are you people not getting late? Even I have to go somewhere"

"You are also going out?", Jhanvi asks surprised and looks at Raghav.

"I told you, I am bunking classes today and no more questions. Go now", Abhi orders when Jhanvi was about to ask something.

Throwing a final glare, Jhanvi sits inside the car followed by Raghav who secretively thanked Abhi and droves away. Once they left, Abhi rushes to the parking area in back side of their college and found Pragya standing near his car as she looked into her mobile. He walks towards her as he hugged her from back  and places a kiss on her cheek. Pragya pushes him slightly and looks around to find whether someone watching them feeling shy while Abhi grins.

Seeing him grinning, Pragya pokes his forehead with her index finger and says, "We are in college, Mr.... So behave"

Abhi chuckles and asks, "Shall we go now?"

"Jhanvi?", Pragya asks him thinking he has gone to bring her so that they all can go out.

"She went out with her unofficial fiancé ", Abhi answers by rolling his eyes and walks to his bike holding her hand.

"With Raghav Bhaiyaa?", Pragya asks him surprised as she followed him to his bike and asks, "And Where is your car?" 

"Yes. Will tell you everything in detail. And my car has gone for service. Let's go now" 

Abhi droves away answering all the questions she asked. He wondered how the two women in his life can have more similar qualities  from their face similarity to their nonstop questioning behavior. 

On the other side, Jhanvi and Raghav reached a  mall as they decided to go for a movie. When they walks towards the counter after buying popcorn,  Jhanvi stops in shock seeing Abhi and Pragya together. Raghav turns to look at Jhanvi and gets confused seeing her shocked expression. He followed her gaze and gets stunned when he saw his sister like Pragya kissed Abhi's cheek and runs towards the ticket counter. Raghav and Jhanvi shares a look and again looks at Abhi. Minutes later, Abhi felt someone tapping his shoulder and turns only to find Raghav and Jhanvi looking at him utterly confused of what they have witnessed.

"Are you guys following me?", Abhi asks them curiously.

"I got the tickets", Pragya says excitedly as she stood by Abhi and smiles seeing Raghav and Jhanvi and asks, "Even you both planned for a movie?"

"What's happening here? Actually... You both... I mean...", Raghav blabbers as he points out between them.

"I didn't understand bhaiya", Pragya tells confused and remembering she tells Abhi with a puppy face, "I forgot my mobile in the counter" 

"God! You are such a ... Come let's get it"

"You wait here, I'll be back", Pragya tells and rushed to the ticket counter.

Abhi shakes his head and looks at his friends, "What? Why you both are looking at me like an alien? And what were you blabbering, Raghav?"

Raghav was about to say but he turns to Jhanvi and says, "Am I supposed to ask all the questions? Can't you do that?"

"Ah... Oh yeah!", Jhanvi says coming out from the sudden shock and asks Abhi, "What you both are doing here? And you both... I mean..."

"Just like you both, even we came to watch movie. What is so wrong with that you both are behaving like this? Is it a crime to watch movies?"

"Not that you fool! What are you doing here with my sister?", Raghav asked loudly.

"What? Don't you know that I love her?"

"We know that. What about her? Does she?", Jhanvi asks.

"Ofcourse she loves me too. Do you think she will come with me like this otherwise?"

"Whatttt?", Raghav and Jhanvi shouts in shock because they were in the delusion that Abhi is still trying to confess his feelings not aware of the truth. By that time, Pragya comes back with her phone. 

"You love him?", Jhanvi  asks directly.

"I do. Why? You don't know?", Pragya asks confused.

Again Raghav and Jhanvi looked at each other surprised. Abhi sighs at them as they were doing the same thing again and again, giving weird reactions. He checks the time and finds the movie was about to start.

"You both...", Abhi says looking at them and continues, "The movie is about to start and if you want to look at your faces again and again then do it or you want to ask something really important, then wait in the second floor cafeteria. Bye"

Saying he left by holding Pragya's hand. Jhanvi softly gasps when she saw them going to watch an animated movie. Hearing her, Raghav looks at them and slapped his forehead as Abhigya went to watch an animated kids movie. Little later, Abhi and Pragya reached the cafeteria and spots Raghav and Jhanvi. They walks to them and sits in the remaining chairs.

After placing their order, Abhi asks, "What were you telling earlier?"

"Why didn't you tell us that you proposed her and you both are together now?", Jhanvi asks frustrated.

"He didn't propose me", Pragya says.

"What? Then how did you know that he loves you?", Jhanvi asks her in shock.

"Just like how you all know", Abhi shrugs. By then, their orders reached and they started to have it.

"We know because you told us", Raghav points out.

"What you both are trying to say? That he doesn't love me?", Pragya asks frowning as she tried open the ketchup but got spilled on her hand. She looks at Abhi with a OOPS reaction.

"NO... We just want to know that from how long you both are together like a couple. This idiot didn't tell me anything", Jhanvi says glaring at Abhi for hiding such an important thing but he was busy in wiping Pragya's hand with tissue.

"You guys remember our trip?", Pragya asks looking at Abhi, who is still wiping her hand.

"From then?", Raghav asks surprised.

"Yes. So all the doubts cleared? Can we leave now? We have some other places to go", Abhi says  with a sweet smile.

"Wait! I want to know everything", Jhanvi tells glaring at him and turns to Pragya, she asks, "You said he didn't propose you, then how you got to know about his feelings?"

"I don't know. I always had this feeling that he loves me and when he sang for me, I got to know clearly", Pragya answers as she smiled at Abhi, who smiles back at her.

"Can't you both tell us this earlier? I was thinking that Abhi couldn't propose you and was thinking of different ways to bring you both together ", Jhanvi gives a small pout as she looks at Raghav making him chuckle.

"You could have asked all this before, just like you did now. Anyways, now you got to know all, right? We have to go. So bye", Abhi says standing up and walks away taking Pragya's hand. Pragya turns back and waves at them as she walked out with Abhi.

Raghav and Jhanvi sighs as they looked at each other and smiles happily for Abhi and Pragya.

"Do you want to go somewhere?", Jhanvi asks him.

"You have any places in mind?", Raghav asks back with a suggestive smile.

"Yes!!", Jhanvi tells him smiling excitedly.

In the meantime, Abhi took Pragya to a manison. It was not just some mansion, it was the home where he lived his early life with his sister and parents before they died. He took her inside and showed every corner of his house. At last they stopped near a piano.

"You play piano?", Pragya asks excitedly.

"No. Never tried it. And no one in our family knows to play this. This piano is here for many years untouched. Just like a show piece", Abhi chuckles.

"Then why do you people have this?", Pragya asks confused.

"I don't know. Once dad told me, this is here for many decades and we are protecting this ancestral thing and also it was a pride to our family. Maybe there might be someone who spent their fortune in this piano", Abhi shrugs.

"Or maybe, this piano is waiting for someone who could honour this by playing it", Pragya says.

"Hmmm... Maybe", Abhi agrees smiling at her lovingly which forms a beautiful smile on her face.

Then he walks to his parents room which he maintained safely just like how it was when his parents were alive. He showed his parent's room to Pragya. As far she know about him, he never let anyone to enter inside this room, but now she is the one who entered inside with his support most importantly his love. She glanced at his parents picture and smiles realizing how Abhi is the perfect combination of his father and mother while Bulbul has gone completely on her mother.

"Bulbul just looks like your mom", Pragya exclaimed.

Abhi smiles and  asks, "What about me?"

Pragya turns to him with a confused frown and says, "I wonder how such an awesome couple got a son like you. Pity on them"

"Ohhh... You just come here...", Abhi say as he pulled her towards him while she pushed him slightly and ran out laughing. 

Abhi chases her while she run around whole living area escaping from him. At last, Abhi caught her  but both fell on the floor tripped by the carpet. Abhi looks at her at the same time Pragya looks at him. Both laughs feeling so childish and funny. Pragya loosely hugs him while he surrounds his arm aound her as they stayed on there for a while calming their breathe. 

"You don't want to go anywhere else?", Abhi asks her looking at the ceiling.

Pragya replies looking at him, "No. I want to be here. This feels so nice"

Abhi looks at her and smiles making her to smile. They stayed like that, after a while Abhi turns to look at her and found her sleeping making him to smile. Don't know when and how he became completely dependent on her. He needed her presence beside him in every moment of his life. He can allow every single thing in his life to let go, but not Pragya, the one who makes his life valuable. Abhi admires her to his heart content till he fell asleep.

In evening, Jhanvi happily runs inside her house. When she suggested Raghav that she wanted to go to basketball ground, he without thinking twice had taken her there, silently admitting whatever she likes will be his likes too. She missed the playground where she played all her life, once she reached there, her legs automatically begun to bounce in air with basketball dancing on her hand. Raghav was happy that he could make Jhanvi smile and he believed that he could able to keep her smiling always. Watching her playing alone for a while, Raghav started to play with her, showing that even he can play with and be a good companion both in game and life.

With these thoughts, Raghav dropped Jhanvi home and left to his place. Jhanvi goes to Abhi's room first and finds it empty then she realized that Abhi hasn't reached yet. When he was not there to share her happiness, Jhanvi frowns and called Abhi.

Hearing his mobile ringing, Abhi woke up and immediately attends the call not wanting to wake Pragya from her peaceful sleep.

Seeing Pragya stirring in her sleep, Abhi whispers softly, "Hello?"

"What hello? Where are you? And why you didn't reach yet?", Jhanvi bombards him with questions.

"Shhh... Speak slowly. Pragya is sleeping", Abhi sleepily whispers.

"SLEEPING!?!?! Where the hell you both are?", Jhanvi asks him shocked.

Abhi keeps his mobile away from his ear hearing her shout and Pragya stirs even more feeling his movement. Pragya opens her eyes and sleepily asks him, "What happened?"

"Nothing you sleep", Abhi says as he closed her eyes with his other hand and speaks with Jhanvi, "I told you to speak slowly, right?"

"You both left after 1st period was over but still haven't reached home and you expect me to be quiet? Do you know what the time is now?", Jhanvi asks frowning.

Abhi sighs and replies, "So what? Listen...", Pragya snatches the phone and speaks, "What happened, Jhanvi?"

"Pragya? Where are you both?"

"Outside. Now tell me what happened?", Pragya asks back instead of answering her.

Don't know why but Jhanvi goes upset hearing her reply. She felt as if Pragya doesn't want her to interfere in their life, as if from now she should maintain distance from Abhi's life.

"Nothing. It's too late and thought your family will get worried", Jhanvi tells her.

"Don't worry. I already informed Purab that I am going out and will come back by myself. I'll give the phone to him", Pragya handovers the phone to Abhi and closes her eyes to sleep.

Abhi shakes his head and tells Jhanvi, "I'll be back in an hour. Will meet you at home. Bye"

Jhanvi looks at her phone and sighs with the thought that she was thinking too much. Abhi looks at Pragya who is sleeping, he gently shakes her to wake her up.

"Pragya, get up. We need to go back home"

"Tch... Get lost", Pragya pushes him and stands up. Abhi also stands and pulls her hair playfully making her to gasp while he walks away laughing. Pragya smiles after he left and follows him shaking her head.

Little later, Abhi drops her at her place and left to his house. He directly went to Jhanvi's room knowing that she must be waiting for him. He opens the door and finds Bulbul and Jhanvi playing with sheero. Abhi clears his throat making them to turn to his side.

"Finally! Just because you are late, we haven't had dinner yet. I am going to tell Ragini aunty that you came so that she will set the table. I am famished", Bulbul complains and left down.

"You called, screamed at me, eat my brains off  telling me to come back home but here madam is  just playing?"

"Oh! you were planning not to come? How dare you?", Jhanvi asks in fake anger.

"Stop your dramas and tell me what is it"

Jhanvi glares at him and gives him a brief explanation of her time with Raghav while Abhi smiles approvingly.

"Not bad uh! Never thought Raghav could be like this", Abhi tried to tease her.

"Oh just shut up", Jhanvi shuts him as she tried video calling Raghav.

"Whom you are calling? Raghav uh! Not bad not bad", Abhi teases her  making her annoyed.

"He came. I don't think he is going to listen to me, you yourself ask him", Jhanvi tells Raghav once he picked the call and turns the phone towards Abhi.

"What did I do?", Abhi asks them confused.

"Seriously! You are asking us? Who in right mind takes his girlfriend to children's movie, Abhishek", Raghav asks him.

"Obviously him", Jhanvi mutters in disgust.

"Tell me this, why you took this idiot to basketball ground?", Abhi asks Raghav.

"Because she loves to play and I..."

"Exactly! I took Pragya there because she like cartoons and all. Whatever she likes, is my likes too. And I don't want anyone to discuss on this. End of the topic. Good night both of you", Abhi says and gives the phone to Jhanvi.

"You had dinner?", Jhanvi asks frowning.

"I am not hungry, Jhanu. You people have. Good night", Abhi says and left to his room.

"I think he has changed so much. Do you think I am assuming things?", Jhanvi asks Raghav worriedly.

"Just today you got to know about them and already you started feeling insecure?", Raghav asks her disappointed while Jhanvi looks away.

Seeing her upset, he thought to change her mind. Raghav says, "Listen..."

Jhanvi curiously looks at him while he says, "Thank you for the memorable time together"

Jhanvi smiles and replies, "I am supposed to say that"

"But you didn't", Raghav points out cheekily making her to chuckle and they continued to talk.

Abhi twists and turns in bed but sleep was far away from his eyes. Making up his mind, he calls Pragya. Just before the call was about to disconnect, a heavily sleepy Pragya answers his calls.

"Hello?", Pragya says as she held her phone over her ear with her eyes closed still.

"You are sleeping?"

"No. I am flying in air", Pragya replies sleepily.

"How can you sleep? You were sleeping in my house and...", Abhi stops when he heard her correcting him even in her sleep as she said, "Our home"

Abhi smiles and he forgot everything but just her word kept ringing in his ears. She never left any chance to  make him happy. For Abhi, Pragya is a sweet farishta whom he decided to love all his life. 

"You are also sleeping?", Pragya asks making him to come out from his dream world.

"Good night, darling", Abhi says lovingly and gives her a good night kiss and for reply he hears her soft sleepy whisper, "Good night"

*******

Days, weeks and months started to roll and finally Abhi, Pragya, Jhanvi completed their final exams and were waiting for their results which they would expect in the span of one week. Once the results came, Pragya decided to pursue her masters while Jhanvi decided to focus on her basketball career. Abhi, who had already set his goal, started pursuing it.  

Nowadays, they would usually meet at Abhi's home which Pragya stated considering as their home where they were to live their life ahead.  Abhi and Pragya started to spend more time apart from the calls and chats, whenever they feel like meeting each other, they would meet at their home but neither of them has disclosed their relationship to their families. They didn't meant to hide, but just went with the flow.

On the other hand, Jhanvi and Raghav started meeting often. Poor Jhanvi had tough time in bearing all those teasing from her family especially the most notorious Bulbul. Raghav had planned to surprise Jhanvi with an auditorium which he was turning into sports hall which he will gift her on the day of their marriage because Raghav has finally realized his feelings for Jhanvi is nothing but love and he believed that one day even she will say the same. He kept this as a secret as he didn't want his surprise to be spoiled by anyone.

Pragya was sitting in the couch, flipping the magazine in their home. Abhi reached there after his unsuccessful attempt in securing a chance in music industry, he goes to her and keeps his head on her lap closing his eyes.

"Can I get a coffee, please?", Abhi asks her still eyes closed.

"I am not your wife", Pragya replies and hits his head slightly with the magazine making him to frown.

Abhi opens his eyes while Pragya asks, "What happened?"

"If I tell you, will you give me coffee?"

"No"

"Then sorry. I won't tell"

"Ok fine. Don't tell but I have a surprise for you", Pragya says happily.

"What is that?", Abhi asks her curiously sitting straight.

"Nah... Not now. I'll tell you once our results comes", Pragya says and goes towards kitchen.

Abhi follows her asking, "I'll pass for sure"

"I know that. But I won't tell now", Pragya says as she started making coffee.

"Why?"

"I am not telling you anything now. Go back to your place", Pragya orders and ignores him after that.

Glaring at her, Abhi came back to living hall and sits there. Pragya comes back with coffee and gives it to him. Forgetting his childish anger, he takes the coffee from her and like as usual forgetting everything, he started talking with her happily.

At last, their result came and all get passed. Like Pragya expected, she becomes the topper. Jhanvi, Abhi and Pragya were leaving the college collecting their documents as they talked.

"Can't believe that you scored good marks in all subjects! Strange! Did you cheat?", Abhi asks Jhanvi in confusion.

"Shut up. The love of your life made my life hell by her teaching skills. She didn't leave me till I revised all the chapters which I never did for any of my exams. She made me to study on sundays too", Jhanvi complains as she glared at Pragya.

"But you didn't scored as much as I wanted you to", Pragya replies cheekily while Jhanvi gasps in outrage.

"You had put lot of efforts for her. You are just amazing", Abhi tells Pragya intentionally to irritate Jhanvi.

"WHAT?!?! Then what was I doing? Didn't I studied?", Jhanvi asks him glaring at him murderously.

"Stop it both of you. Always fighting like kids", Pragya says and turning to Abhi she says, "I told you about a surprise, do you remember?"

Abhi nods and Pragya takes an envelope from her bag. Jhanvi curiously looks at them while Pragya handovers that envelope to Jhanvi. Jhanvi curiously takes that and was about to open.

"You said surprise for me but giving it to her?"

"She will tell you", Pragya tells him as she gestures Jhanvi to open the envelope.

Jhanvi curiously opens the envelope and reads it. Abhi notices her eyes widening in surprise and a broad smile appeared on her face. Then she excitedly jumps and howls in excitement. She hugs Pragya happily and then hugs Abhi.

"What is that?", Abhi asks her curiously.

"This is for you! A chance in music industry! Actually this is an offer saying that you can able to be a part of Rhyme music troop in London on two years contract basis and there you can explore new skills and learn wonders in music. You will get opportunities to perform shows, concerts and all. You are going to be a singer. Your dream is going to be fulfilled!", Jhanvi tells him happily.

Abhi looks at Pragya as she smiled at him happily. Noticing him not happy, Jhanvi asks him, "Are you not happy, Abhi?"

Ignoring Jhanvi, Abhi asks Pragya, "What is need to do all this? With whose permission you did all this? I am not interested in this offer and I am not going anywhere"

Saying that he left from there angrily while Jhanvi runs behind calling him.

"Abhi... Abhi stop... Abhi listen to me", Jhanvi stands there as he left with his bike. 

Pragya stands beside her and calmly tells her, "You go back home, Jhanvi.  I'll take care of everything"

"I don't think he is going to listen to you, Pragya. He is not in good mood otherwise he won't behave like this"

"No need to defend your friend. I know him. You go home, I know where to find him and please help me to make him accept this offer"

"Ofcourse! Not me then who will help in this issue", Jhanvi says frowning.

"Thank you", Pragya smiles at her and left with her car.

Jhanvi stands there confused not understanding them. Till now, Abhi was fine and he never raised his voice on Pragya but today he did. And Pragya was unbelievably calm today. Not like that she was hyper before, but today her calmness is kinda scaring Jhanvi. She is not going to understand their relationship anymore.

"Weirdos", Jhanvi mutters and left thinking about them.

To be continued...

With love,

Sweety
