Heya guys 🙋

I am here with the next update 😊

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Pragya was sitting and looking at him expectantly. He was sitting in front of her bending on his knees, holding her both hands​ gently.

Abhi (sad smile)- You remembered when I didn't come on your birthday the first time. (She nodded and he continued) That time I thought that you were taking my Mom away from me. Mom just kept praising you all the time and it always irked me.(smiling) But you were my habit at that time, I haven't thought of a day about when you stop blabbering about your weird wishes. (he chuckled) I made a cake for your birthday first time, and I really wanted to wish you, although the cake was Yukky..!! (She agreed with him and he scoffed)But then I listened to Mom talking to Dad that she always wanted a daughter and she planned us to be married at some point.

Pragya looked at him patiently as she keep listening him.

Abhi (hitting his forehead) - I thought she never wanted me in her life, stupid me..!!

Pragya (instantly) - Hey, Don't call my-

Abhi (chuckling)- I know ..!! But I was stupid..!! (she twisted her lips and he continued)I thought only you can make her happy and I hate it. I started hating you for snatching my Mom from me. (She nodded in no  and he continued) I behaved rudely to you, I shouted upon you, insulted you, hurt you  but you never stop coming to me. You never stop telling me that how you want to be my wife one day. But I always dislike the idea of marrying you because I was scared that after marriage you and Mom will be close and I would left  alone.

Abhi - I started to behave rudely to you, But everytime I cursed myself to make the smile disappeared from your beautiful face. (with a sweet smile) You were the entertainment in my boring life.

Pragya narrowed her eyes and he laughed.

Abhi - Not that type of entertainment, Wifey..!! You were the joy of my boring life. No, You are the joy of my boring life. My day remained incomplete without listening to you how much you love me. How much you want to be with me the whole life. I cursed myself always for being so rude to you, but I was jerk not to realized it soon that its my heart who bleed everytime I hurt you.

She placed her palm on his cheek and cupped his face. He looked at her with so much emotion and her eyes moisten, overwhelm by all this.

Abhi - I put your every card you gave on my birthday, in my room. I have everything inside my room which relate me and you. I never trashed anything you gave me. I always cherished your surprised kisses and hugs. I loved your presence around me. But I was too scared about to loose my Mom to you that I buried all the feelings inside me.

Pragya - Mom, loves you so much Abhi. So much..!! And I will never ever think about taking her away from you. I-

Abhi - I know..!! I know ..!! But Maybe it was my childhood fear which I took so long to come out of it.

Pragya - What makes you make me as your friend ? And then you confessed your...your feelings..!!

Abhi - Those day I was holding myself from blurting out my feelings for you. You sat on my bike hugging me tightly, you dragged me upon you on bed, you wore that ...(huskily) that sexy Saari and when mom told me that you are coming here to pursue your dream, I got scared that you will leave me, leave me for good. I didn't want that, I want your presence in my life , I couldn't imagine not seeing you in front of me. So, I thought to befriended with you..!! At least I would be close to you for some time without being rude to you. I wanted to compensate all the hurt I gave you, so I took you the place where I first hurt you. I wanted to cherished every moment spent with you, till you leave.

She looked at him lovingly and he smiled.

Abhi -But it hurts to think that you will leave me for almost a year or more. So I planned to tag along with you. (sheepishly) I sound like clingy man to you.(she chuckled)  I blurted out my feelings when you hugged me on the beach. I couldn't control my emotions at that moment. But when you asked, I brushed it off.  But that time I knew that I can't hide it more. I can't tell you I hate you, when all I did was loving you from the start. I wanted to tell you this that time only but I thought, (with little cracked voice)you will left me after knowing that, I hurt you knowingly.

Pragya (hitting his arm) - You thought so much, yourself.

Abhi (laughed with glassy eyes) -I can't imagine my life without you, Pragya ... That's why I married you,when I got the chance. I know I wanted to take time to established our carrier, but I can't wait to hold you in my arm, to kiss you, to cuddle with you (deeply) to make love with you.(She blushed and he smirked) But that has a little time I guess,I should be little patient till then. But I am so damn happy because you are stuck with me now, and you will never have a way out, if you want to.

Pragya - I never want a way out of your life, Abhi. I was just hurt that you didn't share all this with me sooner. But I guess, your insecurities were big enough, until it made you to shut off everything.

He looked at her guiltily and she nodded in no.

Pragya - Past is past now..!! I don't want to dwell on it making our present and future disconsolate.

Abhi - How can you forgive me this easily ? I was the reason of your pain for all these years and you forgave me just like that. Don't forgive me this easily,Pragya. Let me fight for you this time. Just make me suffer a little, punish me for what I did. Let me earn your love this time, Please...!!

She looked at him overwhelmed.

Pragya (with moist eyes) - How am I got this lucky, to have you in my life..!!

Abhi - I am the lucky one here, Wifey.

Pragya - We both are lucky to have each other, I guess..!!

Abhi - So anything you want to know more ?

She thought for a minute and then asked him.

Pragya - I know baba is possessive over me, but he never disliked you from the start..!! So what happened exactly..!!

Abhi (smile nervously) - I didn't came on your birthday's that's why I think...!!

Pragya (narrowing her eyes) - I know about that..!! But I don't think that's only the reason.

Abhi looked here and there.

Pragya - Abhi...!!! You said you will tell me everything..!

He nodded and ran a hand through his hair.

Abhi - You know, I always came to your room on your birthday's night, to wish you first. (She nodded and he continued) He caught me 2nd time. He asked me what I was doing in your room. I unwillingly told him that I came to wish you. First he scoffed but then he asked why am I wishing you this late night. I can wish you in the morning also. Then...

She first looked at him shocked that her baba knew about him coming at night, but she subsided that shock and asked curiously.

Pragya - Then what ?

Abhi - I might have said something that you don't like.

Pragya (encouragingly)- Try me..!!

Abhi (holding her hands) - Whatever I said, wasn't true, I swear...!!

Pragya - What did you tell, Abhi ?

Abhi (looking at the ground) - I said that I don't want to saw your ugly face early morning, so  I wished you now only, So you don't bother me the next day. I also told him how much I hate you and want you to out of my life. That you should leave me and mom alone. I... I..

Her heart hurted to listened those words from him but she looked at him encouragingly.

Abhi (bending his head in shame)- I told him that he isn't a good enough father, who can't even stop his daughter from trailing behind a guy like a lost puppy. He fumed and slapped me and kicked me out of the house. I mean I deserve that...!! I shouldn't say those things to him.

Pragya - Did you apologize to him after that ?

Abhi nodded in no and she looked at him in disbelief.

Pragya - You should apologize to him. He is the best father in the world (accusingly) How can you say that to him..!!!

Abhi - I know, I regretted saying that to him. I thought to apologise to him but I wasn't the brave enough to bring that topic again. (guiltily) I remembered seeing him with disheartened face on your every birthday, when he wasn't able to make his Princess happy on her special day.

A shadow of sadness spread across her face to remember her baba.

Pragya - What did you two talk on that day in the room?

Abhi - He asked me that I love you?  And how suddenly I realised? I was afraid that he will reject me that instant, but he loves you more than he hate me,I think. (smiling) He gave me this chance because he wants to see you happy.

She wanted to hug her baba that moment but he is too far away from her. How she wish, he was here with her.

He gave a small patt on her hands and she looked at him

Abhi - I am sorry for everything, Pragya. But I promise you that this is last time you are hurt because of me. (with determination) I promise..!!

She nodded with a small smile and he brought her hands near his lips, kissing them sealing the problem.
