2 days pass like this. No one tried to talk to each other. Pragya - because of hurt and Abhi - because of guilt. All were worried for them especially Manika because this time she doesn't know the reason behind this silence. She tried to talk to both of them but both were stubborn to not to tell her anything. She is highly pissed off with their behaviour and think to confront Abhi this time.

Manika (knock at Abhi's room door)- Abhiiii...!!!

He opened the door and gave a small smile to her. He was looking drained out with dull face and puffy eyes. She got worried and cupped his face in between her palms.

Manika (make him sit on bed)- What happened Abhi...??? Its been 2 days that Angel and you talked to each other. Just like you she too in her room all the time not talking to anyone ...!! (caressing his forehead to head) What happened bachha ...?? Didn't you tell your mom about it...!!!

He looked at her painfully and burst into cry placing his head in her lap. She was getting more and more worried to see his son like this for the first time.

Abhi (in a cracking voice)- I am sorry mom..!! I am really sorry..!! I hurt her ...She was crying because of me...!! And its paining mom..!! (pointing at his heart) Its paining badly here...!!

Manika too got teary eyes and make him sit and cup his face again.

Manika (wiping his tears) - What happened..?? Tell me clearly...!!

He narrated what happened between them with low head. He was feeing really ashamed for what he did.

Abhi (guilty)- I don't know Mom..Why I did this..!!! But at that moment it was feeling like I was out of my control...!! I asked her forgiveness but she left crying...!! I am not able to face her mom..!!(a tear escaped again) But I am missing her..!! Missing her nonstop bak bak...!! Missing her presence around me..!! I want everything back to normal mom..where we used to fight and tease each other..!! Everytime she came back for torturing me why she is not coming this time mom...!! Why...!!!

Manika smiled little listening him. She knew that he loves her..but today it got confirmed to her. But still she wants to listen it from his mouth.

Manika - Then why don't you go and talk to her..!!

Abhi - I can't mom..!! I can't...!!

Manika - If not today....then Just some days more and may be you will not get chance to talk to her for a long time..!!

Abhi immediately wiped his tears and looked at her confused.

Manika - She is going to Italy after 13 days for her internship..!!!

Abhi (shocked plus confused)- She is going...?? Italy...!! Internship..?? Which internship mom..???

Manika - You didn't know or you didn't want to know how much she loves you Abhi..!! She always wanted to be a fashion designer but just because to stay with you for a little more time she joined management course with you. (He looked at her numb with this new revelation) She was doing online course of FD and now she got internship for her dream job..!! That's why we wanted you two to married this month but you ................

Abhi was looking at his mom blank not understanding what to say. How can someone love him this much. He never gave importance to her in his life and for her he is this much important in her life. He is at the loss of words to say what he was feeing right now.

Manika (caressing his hair)- Talk to her Abhi..!! More than you she is suffering for not talking to you.

Abhi wiped his tears and nodded and she left his room.

Abhi (determined)- You have done enough for me Fuggy...!! Now its my turn..!! Just hold your cheeks tightly because they are going to pain so much because of your continuous smile this time...!!!

Pragya was sitting in her room folding her knees close to her chest and buried her face in her palms when she heard the knock on her door. She wiped her tears and opened the gate but become shocked to see Abhi there standing with a big smile .His heart pain seeing her red eyes but he instantly covered his facial expression and pushed her and entered into her room.

Abhi (faking anger)- Where the hell were you from two days..!! After making me your friend you took me for granted..!! Hain naa..!!

Pragya was looking still shocked not understanding his behaviour.

Abhi (shaking her) - Now why are you seeing me like you are going to eat me raw..!! Don't prove me that you are in actual a Fuggy, who wants to annoy the hell out of me..!!

Pragya smiled with watery eyes listening that word after 2 long days from his mouth. He doesn't even know how much she was craving to listen his voice.

Abhi - Get ready fast..!! We are getting late for college..!!

Pragya widened her eyes when he was about to open her cupboard.

Pragya (shout loudly)- DON'TTTTTT....!!!!!!!!!

He stumbled back and looked at her shocked.

Abhi (frown)- What...!! Why are you shouting..!!

She ran immediately and stood in front of her cupboard giving him a tight smile.

Abhi (wiggle his brow)- Is there something inside....I need to see...!!

Pragya (shaking her head in a vigorous no)- NO...Nothing...!!Nothing is there...!!(pointing her index finger at him)You ...You should not open any girl's cupboard ever..!!

Abhi (holding her finger and dragged her close to him looking straight into her eyes huskily)- But you are not any other girl..!!(She blinked her eyes and he smiled naughtily) You are toh Fuggy naa...!!

She looked at him with open mouth and hit him on his chest and he laughed loudly. She too joined him. He held her hand and dragged her in a tight hug. She widened her eyes.

Abhi - I am sorry Fuggy..!! Never stop talking to me...I will not able to live ..!! (She felt numb listening him) If you are angry or hurt , Just kick me punch me..Do whatever you want but don't stop talking to me..!!

Pragya jerked and parted immediately when she feel wet on her shoulder. She looked at him shocked seeing tears in his eyes. She can't even imagine to see him like that. She wiped his tears and nodded in no.

Pragya (to lighten his mood naughtily)- You said I can do whatever I want...!! (with smirk) Really..!!

Abhi smiled to see her back to his Fuggy.

Abhi (nodded)- Really..!!!

Pragya (first shocked at his agreement then smile)- Okay..!! will tell you in college...!! Now go and let me get ready..!!

He nodded and about to go but turn and gave a quick peck on her forehead murmuring 'come soon' and run from there. She touched her forehead shocked and dazzled then blushed feeing his lips touching her forehead a second before.

*****************************************************************

Pragya (with shocked face)- Who are you...????

He chuckled and held her hands and make her to hold him tightly around his waist. They were going to college on Abhi's bike when he asked her to hold him tightly.

Pragya (still puzzled with his behaviour)- Are you alright Abhi...!!!

Abhi (look at her in mirror and said )- What you think...!!

Pragya (dragged her hands back and bite her nails)- I don't think so you are alright..!! You are talking to me normally ...not normally even you himself took me with you and now you are making me hold you...!! This is not you..!! Where is my Abhi who always remained annoyed with my presence..!!

He first smiled to listen My Abhi from her mouth but his smile dropped listening her further.

Abhi (in heart)- Your presence was never annoying to me..!! It was my stupidity who understand this lately...!! My life was full of fun with your fights, with your nonsense talk..!! I realize how important you are to me in these two days..!! And I promise you , I will fill your day with so much happiness that you will forget these two days soon ..!!

She looked at him confused getting no reply.

After some time

Pragya (patted on his shoulder)- Oye where are you lost...!!! You took wrong turn..!! This is not the way to college...!!

Abhi (smiling)- I Know...!!

Pragya - You know....Then why....(suddenly widen her eyes) Are you planning to left me in jungle..??? (shout immediately) Help...!! Help...!! Someone please help...!! This boy is kidnapping me...!!!

Abhi put sudden break bewildered. She landed on his back continuously shouting with closed eyes.

Abhi (got down from bike and held her shutting her mouth with his palm)- Stop it, Fuggy...!!! I am not going to drop you anywhere..!! (with a angry look) I planned a surprise for you but you can't stop running your mind's horses for a moment..!! Hain naa..!!

She looked at him with popped out eyes. Then pinch on his hand tightly.

Abhi (freed her mouth and shout loudly)- Ouchh...!!!What the hell..!!!

Pragya (grinning)- Its not dream..!! You really are talking about some surprise for me..!!

Abhi (chuckled and then give a glare to her)- But you spoiled it before only...!!

Pragya (bite her tongue and then pouted)- But I am not good with surprises..!!(suddenly excited in a single breath) So tell me...!! What's the surprise..!! Are you planning to propose me..!! Or you planned our marriage today..!! (pouted cutely) But you should have told me before eloping naa..!! I would wear something Traditional ...How will I be look in our wedding album wearing jeans top in our marriage..!!! (wiggled her brows) And did you inform to our parents..?? What will we say to our kids that we married in their grandparent's absence only..!!(making faces) This is not good plan..!! We will plan something else..!!

In all these Abhi was just looking at her with shocked face. Shocked would be an understatement..!! He brought his handkerchief from his pocket and tide on her mouth. She looked at her with wide eyes and he smirked at her.

She tried to open the knot of hankey when he held her both hands with his one hand. She made a puppy face and he huffed in defeat.

Abhi (before opening the knot)- Promise me you will not utter a single word till we reach the destination..!!

Pragya nodded and he removed the hankey. She let out a deep breath.

Pragya (with a glare)- Are you planning to kill me..???

He glare back and she put her finger on her lips making faces.

Abhi (smile and pull her cheeks) - Better...!!

Pragya blinked her eyes and touched her cheek which turned light shade of pink due to his touch. Abhi sat on his bike again- hold her hands wrapping around his waist and started the bike. She smiled and snuggled closer to him placing her head on his back. He smiled widely and drove from there.
