Waiting is a sign of true love, anyone can say I love you, but everyone can not wait n prove it's true love

Pragya n bulbul tried to listen their conversations, but were not able to hear  a single thing, as bedroom was far from hall n door was also closed.
Aaliya: tell me, what if you find out that both girls are same, i mean both are fuggie, then what will you do??
Abhi: I will ask her, what's wrong with her, why she has alcohol all the time
Aaliya: so unromantic
Abhi: what unromantic, I'm concerned about her, there is something she is hiding
Aaliya: it's love, Abhi
Abhi:I don't love her, I love Tanu, I only like fuggie as friend, n I feel guilty of getting intimate with her, that's why I'm (she cut in between n gets angry on him)
Aaliya: that's why, you still remember taste of her cinnamon coffee, Abhi don't fool yourself, you just had a passing affair with Tanu, there is nothing serious about your relationship, I bet, you didn't had any physical relation, look at you, person who would hook up with any girl, is now not even touching his girlfriend, wakeup n see yourself, the moment you thought that girl might be fuggie, you stop all your bad habits, change yourself completely, started thinking about her Day n night
Abhi: may be you are right, but still, I don't know what she thinks, she is like this mystery girl, always goes missing, when her mother died, I had gone to her place to meet her, but she was gone already, after 1year I came to know from dadi she is in Mumbai, n we shifted to Mumbai next month, I didn't try to find her, but always kept my eyes n ears open, if  just incase I get any information about her, that day when she was right in front of me, but I couldn't recognise her, she had changed so much in these 7years
Aaliya: Abhi, you told me that she was going to come to return your clothes, so did she came??
Abhi: no, dadi called her, but she is not feeling well so, she will come tomorrow
Aaliya: you idiot, you have her contact number n still waiting, are you seriously mad??? this is just too much
Abhi: but dadi won't share number with me, n as it is, she is coming tomorrow so I thought why
Aaliya: ( cuts in between) are you going to stay whole day home, waiting for her
Abhi: absolutely
Aaliya: ok then as you wish, let's go out now
Abhi: not now, I'm going home now, will meet you tomorrow, thanks, you solved problem but do you think both are same??!
Aaliya: shut up, bye, now don't eat my brain n he goes
Aaliya calls both girls out, n tells, it complicated, he actually has gone insane, Pragya, you pls go tomorrow at his place, first thing in morning ok
Pragya: but what all he told you today
Aaliya: Abhi is completely mad, that's it, I don't have better explanation then this
Pragya: what Di, anyways I'm going, I'm feeling very sleepy
In mean time Abhi runs in Tanu, at building entrance n she insisted him to come home n he goes with her
Abhi: so, now what, you wanted me to come here I came
Tanu: let's watch movie with popcorn n soft drinks
Abhi:ok
Tanu:( was bringing glassware to arrange on dinning table n suddenly, she slipped n whole box fall on abhi's shoulder) I'm so sorry, I don't mean to, actually I have never carry such heavy box, so pls forgive me (this time, Tanu actually didn't do it purposely)
Abhi: it's ok, give me ice pack, I will just apply, it will be fine
Tanu: ( gives him ice pack n painkillers table) take this you will feel better
Abhi: if you don't mind, can I sleep here only, it's late n dadi will not like, me driving this late
Tanu: (thinks, I should let him sleep in Pragya 's room as she is at Bulbul's place or he will think I'm hitting on him again) ya of course, you can sleep in that room ( points towards Pragya room)
Abhi: ok, let's call it night, will see movie next time
Tanu:ok as you wish(agrees as she herself was tried after long photo shoot n goes to her room)
Both were fast asleep, Pragya enters house, n sees all mass, she picks up glassware box, n put it in its place, just then, she hears some noise coming from her room, she is scared to death, but grabs wooden stick n enters room, she sees some shadow moving n thinks its robber, she hits  him with stick 3-4 times, Abhi gets unconscious n falls on floor, n Pragya turn on lights, she is shocked to see Abhi, she goes to Tanu room, but she was in deep sleep, Pragya again goes to her room n make him sleep on bed n applies ice pack n some ointment on his forehead, he just opens his eyes n again close due to heaviness in head, almost whole night, she sits beside him, to check on him, he turns to other side of bed, but feels it uncomfortable n again turns back,it was almost 5am, finally Pragya was sleeping now, Abhi still uncomfortable due to pain, gets up n sees Pragya, who was sleeping in sitting position, n her head was leaning on wall for support, n ice pack in her hand, he gently lefts her n puts on bed, n kisses her on forehead n leaves. Later, around 8am, Tanu comes to Pragya's room n she is shocked to only Pragya
Tanu: Pragya wake up
Pragya: kya, let me sleep pls
Tanu: if you are sleeping here, then where is Abhi???
Pragya:(hearing abhi's name, she woke up) there was no one when I came
Tanu: when you came ??
Pragya:(worried, she can't tell truth, Tanu may take it in different sense) I came around 5am, no one was there in my room, why was he in my room
Tanu: actually, I accidentally drop glassware box on him, so his shoulder was paining n he didn't wanted drive at night, n wanted to sleep here only, I thought you are anyway sleeping at bulbul place, n ask him to sleep
Pragya: ok, Just then Pragya phone rings, "hi, good morning, where are you??" Ask Aaliya
Pragya: I'm at home
Aaliya: did you forget, I asked you to go abhi's place, first thing in morning
Pragya: I know, I just woke up n give me 10 minutes, I will be there
Aaliya: hello, no need to come at my place, just get ready n go, I will join later, ok bye n call ends
Tanu: who's call
Pragya: it was aaliya, I'm going out with her
Tanu: ok, I will be late today also, you take care.
After that incident, Tanu's point of view changed towards Pragya, she was concerned about her n didn't talk rude to her, " yes, I will" said Pragya giving her side hug n both leaves
As Pragya reached, MM, she was really nervous to face dadi, she knew, dadi would definitely ask about her behaviour on that day, as she entered, dadi called her, from dining area
Dadi: hello beta
Pragya: (takes dadi blessing) Namastey
Dadi: how are you feeling today
Pragya: better
Dadi: come have breakfast with us
Pragya:(her eyes were still searching Abhi) no dadi I already had
Dadi: come on, you won't get fat
Pragya:(smiles) ok, here abhi's clothes n gives bag
Dadi:(ask robin to call Abhi) so tell me what happened to you to other day
Pragya:(nervous) nothing
Dadi: tell me, pls don't hide from me, I know you are not that kind of girl, I have seen you right from day you were born, I know you inside out so trust me I won't tell anyone
Pragya: (tears in her eyes n hugs dadi) actually, dadi you don't like Tanu, so I thought by doing this, you will like Tanu n hate me
Dadi:( laughs) arre mera beta, I can never hate you (kisses her on forehead), I don't like Tanu is true but I don't hate her as person, it's just I like you more, just then Abhi comes n tells dadi, he has some important meeting to attain n he is already late, he completely ignores Pragya n leaves
Pragya:( feels really sad, thinks she hit him that's why is angry, she didn't wanted to show that in front of dadi) dadi I will also take leave
Dadi: but promise me you won't  drink again, n Pragya smiles leave without giving any promise to dadi
It was around 4pm, Pragya was drinking ( yes today she was drinking during day, she was really upset that Abhi completely ignored her, she thought even after seeing her there, right in front of him, he just walks off)
Door bell rang, Pragya went to open door, she was standing there right in front of Abhi, in misbelief, she was shocked or maybe thinking she is just day dreaming about him, how he be here at this hour, by the time she comes to her senses, he was already making himself comfortable n sitting on sofa, she turned n saw Abhi on sofa, she came near him, there was complete silence, n finally Abhi broke silence
Abhi: hi ( she still standing like statue)
Abhi: (waving his hand) hi
Pragya: ( embarrassed for way she was behaving from last 5 minutes n instantly tells) Tanu is not here
Abhi: fine I will wait here, till she comes back
Pragya: ok ( about to go to her room)
Abhi: you forget your clothes (Pragya actually checking herself n looks at Abhi in confusion)
Pragya: but
Abhi:(controls his laugh) take this (gives her bag, her clothes, she left when she was at his place)
Pragya:(takes quickly) thanks
Abhi: so you drink
Pragya: ( she wanted to avoid any conversation with him, as she was very nervous) coffee, you want coffee
Abhi: fine,
she goes to kitchen, after sometime she comes with cinnamon coffee n gives him
Abhi: (takes sip, n closed his eyes) wow, it's nice
Pragya:(blushes) you have it, I will be right back
It's been almost an hour she didn't came out from her room, Abhi was switching channels on TV,
Abhi: (called her) fuggie, but there was no answer, so he again called her
Pragya:(comes quickly) do you want anything
Abhi: no
Pragya: then why
Abhi: (holds her hand n insisted to sit) have sit, I'm getting bored, let's talk
Pragya: wait I will call Tanu (about to call her)
Abhi: I already called, she will be here in one hour
Pragya: ( doesn't wanted to make fool out of herself, she was drunk, not that much but enough, that she may get carried away with words). sorry, i can't give you company, I have to study n again goes to her room
It was around, 8pm when she came out, n saw Abhi still sitting n watching tv, she goes to kitchen n makes something to eat along with coffee n sits on dining table
Pragya: come, have something
Abhi: no thanks,
Just then Tanu arrives,
Abhi: let's go Tanu,
Tanu: but I just came, let me fresh up, then will leave
" he loves Tanu so much, he was waiting for her for 3hrs "thought Pragya n then looks down at food she made specially for Abhi
Both of them leaves, Pragya takes food, n sit on sofa at same spot Abhi was sitting, she makes her drink n sleeps there only after sometime
Next day, n day after that, there was same scene, he would come around 4pm wait for Tanu till she comes n again leaves, Pragya didn't even try to talk to him, n whenever he did,she would  give excuses that I have to study or have some work n go to her room most of time, for Pragya, Abhi was her sister's boyfriend, she didn't wanted to create any problems between them.
Today was 4th day, Pragya didn't even wanted to wake up today as last night, she didn't sleep, she was feeling restless, jealous ( for the first time, she was jealous of Tanu) she had decided she will go at bulbul place by 3pm, so if he comes today, she would not face him, as day by day it was getting difficult to ignore him, she wanted to talk so many things, about her feelings,his feelings,  their first encounter, why he still remember her, does he likes her,  all questions made it impossible for her to sleep through night. Finally She woke up, because of continuous sound of doorbell, she was really irritated by that, goes to open door. On seeing Abhi, she shuts door on his face in complete anger, as soon as she closed door, she hears Abhi shouting in pain n she opens again, actually she didn't notice his leg was between door when she closed it but she ignores him.
Abhi:( shouts at her) what is wrong with you
Pragya: ( even in louder voice) everything   (goes to her room n bangs door)
Abhi:(as usual sits on sofa, switch on tv) fine
Pragya:( comes out, taking tv remote) sound of TVs, is disturbing my sleep
Abhi: ( takes his mobile n start playing game) ok
Pragya:(annoyed) you can leave n Tanu is not here, she is gone for few days for ad shoot
Abhi: I know
Pragya: what?? Don't tell me you are going to wait here till she comes 
Abhi: I'm not mad like you n she only asked me to keep watch on you because of your drinking problem
Pragya:( totally surprised) n you just came here, you could call n check
Abhi: ( making innocent face) I don't have your number
Pragya:( now speechless) ok, I will give you, but leave after that
Abhi:(acting) I can't, my leg is paining, I think its swollen, I can't move
Pragya: stop being dramatic, it's looks perfectly fine to me
Abhi: it's really painful
Pragya:(still ignoring) then suit yourself, n don't disturb  me
Abhi:( still sitting shamelessly n ask pouting) do you have any ice pack
Pragya: (in no mood to talk) no, n there is no ice in fridge
Abhi: ( gets angry) you are purposely ignoring me
Pragya: so do you,( she meant for past 3days he had been ignoring her n then changes her tone)  I mean, you are purposely annoying me
