Jo hona tha... ho gaya

I am with you

 Beach side Penthouse

Abhi and Pragya got down from the lift on the top floor. He picked up a key from his pocket and gave it to her. 

"Tum khol do." he said. 

She opened the door and they walked in. She gave him the key back but he refused. "Tum hi rakh do. Tumhara hi ghar hai" he said. 

"Kya?" she asked. 

"Aaj se ye tumhara ghar hai. My gift to you." he said. 

Surprised, she asked "Par kyu?" 

"Ye ghar maine meri biwi ke liye khareedi thi. So... it's yours." he said. 

"Par mein iska kya karoongi?" she asked. 

"Arey... jo bhi karna hai karlo. Bhade pe do ... lakhon me kamavogi, bechch do... karodon me kamavogi, mujhse jhagda karke beech beech me yahan aa jao... sukoon kamavogi... apni family ko naya ghar dena hai ...wahan pe kya kamovogi pata nahi... but ... anything... anything you want. Tumhara ghar hai, jo bhi karna hai karlo." he said. 

"Par mujhe nahi chaiye." Pragya said, "Mein to humara woh ghar dekhke hi dhar gayi hoon... ye toh aur bhi dhara raha hai mujhe." 

"Isiliye ye tumhara hona chahiye" he said, "Dadi bhi yahi keh rahi thi." 

"Ok" she said. 

"Waah... Dadi ka naam bola to turant okay?" he asked. 

She smiled. 

"Chalo ab ghar dekhte hein... mein bhi kaafi time ke baad aa raha hoon yahan pe." he said. 

He showed him around the 4BHK penthouse. 

"Ye saamaan kaun rakhke gaya hai?" Pragya asked as they entered the kitchen. 

"Robin ko bheja tha Dadi ne... dopahar ko" he said, "she knew about this... doodh bhi rakha hai fridge me". 

"Coffee piyenge?" she asked. 

"Hmm... Nahi" he said, "chai theek hai" and after a long pause in which she picked up the milk from the refrigerator, he said "I'll be back". 

He walked out to the balcony that overlooked both the sea and the seashore  and looked around. He had avoided coming here for a long time but knew he had to. He was relieved that it didn't go as bad as he had thought it would be. 'Having Pragya with me makes things easier.' he thought. 

He looked out at the same seashore he had been with her when he met her the last time and the same sun wanting to hide behind the same sea. 

But things had changed. He was at the beach when he had said "I'll buy you that house over there" and he did buy that house for her a couple of months later ... but she... she had never come back. 

He didn't feel bad about presenting this to Pragya though. He knew she is the only other person worthy of it. 

Mehra Mansion

"Ab kya hoga Alia?" Tanu asked.

"Don't worry" Alia said, "Bhai ko maine thode papers diye the sign karne ke liye... woh nahi jaante hein ke unme se ek me meine us Pragya ke liye gadda khodke rakha hai". 

"Woh kaise?" Tanu asked. 

"Meine contract papers ke beech me ek fake property ke papers rakhe hein jisme ye likha hai ki ye ghar Bhai Pragya ke naam pe kar rahe hein." Alia said. 

"Aur... tumhe kya lagta hai? Abhi woh sign karega?" Tanu asked.

"Bhai hein na Tanu... Purab aur mein jo bhi papers bhejte hein use bina dekhke sign karte hein" Alia said, "So... obviously".
