Pragya ran to the bathroom and locked herself, whereas Abhi ran his fingers in his hair. She has never expected that Abhi would kiss her. On Abhi's side, he tried to do something but ended up doing some other.

Abhi's pov: What happened to you, Abhi? Have you gone mad? I planned to tease her, but in the end, I got teased. I don't understand what is happening in me? Ahhh...

Abhi scratched his head vigorously in confusion.

Pragya was breathing heavily. She touched her forehead and found sweat-filled. She gulped her saliva and controlled herself.

Pragya's pov: Is this is a dream? If it is a dream, then I don't want to wake up. He kissed me, that too passionately. Is he also has feelings for me? But that can't be possible. He can't love me in overnight. There is some reason for his behaviour. Whatever it could be, I should stop him. He is always mine, and I won't lose him. I would go to any extend for that.

Pragya thought in her mind, determinedly.

In A House

Preethi was sitting with a pale face. She was watching outside the window, remembering her moments with Abhi. She was so engrossed in her thoughts. She didn't realise that her husband Jai, came and sat near her.

Jai: Preethi...

Preethi came out of her thoughts, hearing Jai's voice.

Preethi: Han...

Jai: Why are you looking dull? Are you feeling sick?

Jai asked whereas Preethi nodded negatively.

Jai: Preethi, I can understand that something is bothering you. All I have to say is, I will wait for you. I will wait until you accept me.

Jai said longingly, but he didn't receive the response he expected. So, signing sadly, he went from there.

Preethi's pov: I'm sorry, Jai. I can't accept you. My mind and my soul is filled with Abhi. I can't give that place to you.

Preethi thought.

Next Morning

In a Café

Abhi, Siddharth, Purab and Bulbul were having coffee, discussing.

Purab: I thought everything was going fine.

Abhi: What went wrong?

Abhi asked, confused, whereas Purab looked at Bulbul, who was sitting mood off.

Abhi: Bulbul...

Bulbul: I can understand yaar. But it hurts whenever she avoids me.

Bulbul said with a pale face.

Abhi: I can understand your pain Bulbul. It is not your mistake. Fate played a nasty game in both of yours' life. Pragya was broken beyond repair, Bulbul. It would take time. Let's try.

Siddharth: What are we going to do next?

Abhi: No idea, man. But, as per now, Pragya is back to Hitler form.

Abhi said sulking.

Bulbul: Even though Pragya is showing herself strong outside, inside, she is like a baby. Still, now, she is longing for love. And Abhi, she is insecure about you. We want to give her the love she is longing for. Abhi, you can only do it.

Abhi looked at her with a sign.

Abhi: That's the problem.

Siddharth: What problem?

Abhi: I don't love her. How can I give her the love she longs for? Maybe, I can be her support system. I can be her friend. But, being her husband is tough.

Abhi said determinedly.

Bulbul: Do you think Pragya would quickly accept it? Once Pragya decides something, nothing can stop her. Even if god comes down too, she won't change herself.

Abhi: I know that. Once, we change her, we can make her understand. I'm sure that she would understand the situation.

Bulbul: Abhi, this adamant is not from Lady Hitler. It is from your Fuggy. Don't you remember her adamant when we were kids?

Siddharth: Wait a sec...

Siddharth looked at them with a confused face, whereas Abhi gave a sheepish look.

Siddharth: You know, Pragya from childhood?

Abhi: Do you remember me sharing you about my childhood friends? Fuggy?

Siddharth thought for some time and nodded as yes.

Abhi: Fuggy is Pragya.

Siddharth: Oh.

Abhi: After hearing her story, I felt terrible for her. But it doesn't mean that I can love her. Now, my concentration is to bring her innocence back. She has to learn to love which my Fuggy knows. I want that fuggy back. She will understand me.

Abhi said determinedly.

Bulbul's pov: Accept the truth Abhi, that somewhere you feel for her. That's why you are taking efforts in changing her. I hope that his feelings turn into love. Enough of Pragya's loneliness. She deserves to be loved.

Bulbul thought with a ray of hope.

After having some chat, all the four started to move. While going, Abhi noticed a doll shop. When he looked at it, he remembers his childhood, when Pragya was fond of dolls. Smiling, he went into the shop. Suddenly, something sticks in his mind.

Abhi rushed to his house. Sarla became confused, seeing Abhi rushing to his room.

Sarla: What's the matter, Abhi?

Abhi: Sarla, where are my old stuff?

Sarla: I have thrown all that to waste.

Abhi glared at Sarla.

Sarla: Why are you looking at me like that? Did I have any idea that you would ask that all after these many years?

Sarla said whereas Abhi signed sadly.

Sarla: Maybe some stuff might be in the storeroom.

Before Sarla could continue, Abhi rushed to his storeroom. After searching there for hours, he found it.

At Night

Pragya was settling in the bed. She noticed Abhi entering the room with a teasing smile.

Pragya: What's the matter?

Abhi smiled at her, making Pragya confused.

Pragya: Why are you smiling like mad?

Abhi chuckled, irritating Pragya.

Abhi: I have brought someone here. And she is going to stay here only with us.

Abhi said blushing, whereas Pragya became furious.

Pragya: Who is she?

Pragya asked angrily, whereas Abhi smiled inward.

Abhi: She is my childhood friend.

Abhi said whereas Pragya was fuming in anger.

Pragya: Who is that so-called childhood friend?

Pragya asked whereas Abhi laughed.

Abhi: Don't get jealous of her, because she is best than you.

Abhi said and when out. Pragya was looking outside the door with anger and curiosity. Abhi came inside, hiding something in his back.

Pragya: What are you hiding?

Abhi: Don't speak like this? You are fearing my friend.

Abhi said, testing Pragya's patience. Abhi took the hidden thing out, whereas Pragya was taken aback, seeing it. Abhi had a girl doll in his hand.

The doll remembered her moments with her Rocky. They both had a toy the same as this. She was speechless.

Pragya: This...

Abhi: This is my friend. Today only I bought her in the shop.

Abhi said whereas Pragya left a relief sign.

Pragya's pov: Them this is not that doll.

Abhi: Pragya. Meet my friend, cookie.

Pragya frown.

Pragya: Cookie?

Abhi: Yes, cookie. From today onwards, she is going to stay with us only.

Abhi said and jumped on the bed. He lied on the bed, hugging the doll.

Abhi: Goo Night Cookie.

Abhi said, closing the eyes, whereas Pragya gave a deadly glare.

Pragya: Why he is hell adamant in irritating me? Now, he bought this doll as his friend. Ahhh...

Pragya made faces, whereas Abhi, who was pretending to sleep, laughed inward.
