Pragya knock at Abhi's room door.

No response.

She again knock getting the same response. She smile mischievously and starts banging at the door continuously.

Abhi (open the door irritated said in anger) - What..?????

Pragya (making innocent face) - I want to talk to you.

Abhi (annoyed) - But I don't want to talk right now... And that too with you. No... Thanks...!!!

Pragya (grinned and pushed him entering in the room and sit on the bed stubbornly ) - It's about my life. You have to listen to me.

Abhi (giving her death glare) - O really..!!! (angrily hold her hand and drag her out of his room)(shout) Just get lost.(And shut the door on her face)

Pragya (shouted back mischievously ) - I DON'T LOVE ARJUN.

Abhi who was about to sit on his bed halted at his place and immediately run and open the door.

Pragya chuckled then grinned widely.

Abhi ( Shocked) - What did you just said..????

Pragya (nonchalantly) - I said I don't love Arjun.

His heart started beating fast and an unknown joy started developing in him. A curve about to appear on his lips when he composed himself.

Abhi (pretending unaffected) - So...!! Why are you telling me this.(avoiding eye contact) I don't bother whom you love and whom not.(She bite her inner cheeks looking at him) (he hesitated ) Waise.....ammm...If you didn't love him..(Pragya raised her eyebrow and he pressed his dry lips nervously)... Why....I mean Why..you are planning to elope with him...???

Pragya suppressed her laugh seeing him nervous.

Pragya (coming into the room dramatically) - You know
Abhi ... I thought... I seriously thought about it.. That you hate me right..!! (she lift her chin asking and he nodded his head in positive immediately) And look at me...I mean it's my age to marry now...maa papa are too worried about my marriage. (he look at her confused not getting anything) And you toh..don't want to marry me right..!! (she again look at him n he nodded positively)  But I have to marry naaa...!! For my parents...for Mom..And I find Arjun is totally handsome, hot and... (Abhi closed his fist tight and Pragya supress her laugh again seeing his burning face) So I decided to marry Arjun only. And eloping is quite fun you know... (wink at him) Now you are free.... totally free from my... Haan what you said yaa... My faking rants that I love you and want to marr......

Before she could complete Abhi dragged her holding her elbow tightly.

Abhi (angrily) - Are you mad...!!!!!! (in disbelief)  If I don't want to marry you so you will marry anyone.

Pragya nodded her head innocently blinking her eyes.

Abhi (jerking her) - It's not funny Pragya. It's about your life..!!!! Your life you stupid...!!!

Pragya (coming close to him)- Yaaa...It's about my life... (tapping her index finger on her cheek)  But Why do 'you' care ??

Abhi (bluntly) - I care because I................

Pragya (coming more close)- because you...???

Abhi (lost himself in her fragrance) - because I.....

Pragya (holding his shoulders looking into his eyes straight) - You..???

Abhi comes back to sense with her phone ring and step back immediately.

Pragya shut her eyes annoyed looking at the caller ID showing Arjun calling. Then she think something and smile widely and pick the call.

Pragya ( sit on his bed folding her legs) (On call extra sweetly)- Awwwwwwwww My baby was missing me..!!!

Abhi burned with jealousy and on the other side Arjun coughed listening her. He dragged phone from his ears and look at the caller id..that by mistake he called Disha instead of Pragya. He shakes his head and again put his phone back on his ear.

Arjun (confused) - Pragya...!!!  Are you sleeping..???  I am Arjun... not Abhi...!!

Pragya (showing extra happiness) - Yaa baby...I just talked to Abhi about marriage and he said we don't need to elope he will talk to our parents.

Abhi fumed at her tone whereas Arjun widened his eyes.

Arjun (stammering) - P...Pragya..!! Are... yyyou..alllrigght..!!  You know naaa I love Disha..!!(horrified) What are you taking.. Our marriage...!! We are eloping..!!

Pragya (blushing little) - O I love you too baby.

And this is it for Abhi. He snatched phone from her hand and put it on his ear.

Abhi (gritted his teeth and in a warning tone)- Dare you call her again. And dare you think about eloping. I will seriously break your bones this time Arjun.

Abhi cut the call angrily and Arjun gulped hard with wide mouth and eyes open.

Arjun (murmured) - What is his problem..!!! Khud to shadi krta nhi h... Aur meri shadi pe b ban laga rha..(he himself isn't marrying and banning my marriage too) (scratch his head)And Pragya..!!! What was she talking..??(making faces) aggrhh..stupid girl..!!

In Abhi's room

Pragya couldn't control her laugh and giggled slightly. Abhi looked at her annoyed.

Abhi (shrinking his eyebrows) What..???

Pragya (come towards him and pull his cheek) - You look cute when you got angry.

Abhi (rubbing his cheek) - Stop doing that..!! (making faces) And I am not cute..!

Pragya (laugh loudly) - Seriously you are damn cute more than your stupid Emma.

Abhi (glare her and dragged her holding her hand) - Dare you call her stupid. She is Emma..my Emma.

Pragya (making weird faces) - What's so special in that stup....(he glare n she gives him a tight smile) I mean in your Emma.

Abhi (smile widely) - She is so special to me. You know she was my first gift mom dad gave to me.(Pragya look at him amused. She didn't know that)

Pragya (softly) - That's why you named her Emma. (Abhi looked at her surprised.. Nobody knows why he named her that...not even his mom).
It is combo of your parents name PrEM MAnika...isn't it..??

He nodded smiling genuinely. She smiled back.

Pragya (in heart) -  I never knew that you love Emma because of this reason. How innocent you are Abhi.Today I love you even more.. than I love you before. (She placed her head on his chest closing her eyes ) I LOVE YOU ABHI.

He became numb for a second. He don't know when his hand wrapped around her shoulder. Pragya encircled her hand around his waist tightly.This is not the first time she said those words to him but first time he is feeling something different in his heart listening her words.He tighten his grip on her. Both were lost in their moment forgetting themselves. They wanted to stop the time at that moment.

Pragya (softly) - You too can say your feelings.

Abhi (lost and pressing her more to himself) - I....(Pragya's heart started beating rapidly)(he pause for a second then said) ...I.. HATE YOU PRAGYA.

Pragya jerked shocked and looked at him who smirk at her.

Abhi (laughing) - What..!!! What did you thought that I will waste those precious words on you.

Pragya (gritting her teeth) - Haha.. Very funny. (making faces) fine..!! You just Hate me..!! (mischievously)  O yaaa..I forgot why did I came here.
