Chapter 2 - Losing her parents

A/N: Thank you for all the love ppl! Let me know what you feel about this story.. Here goes the next chapter.

Pragya gains her consciousness, hearing horse galloping sound. She opened her eyes to see Abhisheik coming in a chariot in front of her. She called out to him , "Suniye!!!" Abhisheik smiles hearing those words. Purab who sensed this stopped in his tracks and put Pragya down carefully. Abhisheik came near her and cupped her face and kissed her forehead and said, "I destroyed the entire army Nikhil sent come, let's go Bulbul is waiting inside for all of us." At that time when he heard a sound and stood in front of her and said, "You are my life, whatever may come I will protect you with all my life! I may die, but I will never let you die... *With much difficulty*." Purab noticed that he was hit by an arrow and found Nikhil standing a few meters away from them, he took Abhisheik on his shoulders and dragged Pragya towards the chariot ( She was completed shocked by Abhisheik's act). Purab placed Abhisheik in the chariot and told Pragya to take care of him ( She came back to her senses). Tears started to roll from her eyes and she kept his head on her lap and caressed his hair.

Purab started the chariot and whipped the horses with much force. They were riding the chariot very fast, Sunset was nearing. Nikhil followed them and lost track after the sunset. Purab decided to take rest in between the forest and so did Nikhil. Little did they know they were just a few metres away from each other and within a few hours can see other (When Sun rises). Purab sneaked in the darkness and found some medicinal plants and applied it to Abhisheik's wound and said, " I will protect you and your heir with all my life, This is my promise to you Jahanpana" *Saying this he lowered his head*. Abhisheik was still unconscious, Pragya was sadly looking at him saying, "All this happened because of me right? If I would have not interfered in your family matters you would have been happily living with your family, right?" Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell on Abhisheik's Forehead. He woke up with a jerk saying, " I heard what you said but if you dint come into our lives, I would have lost my sister and would have never ever got a beautiful, loving and caring wife like you *Saying this he kissed her forehead*."

Purab who was coming then saw this and said, "Jahanpana sorry for interfering in your personal talks but both of you need some energy for further advances so have this ( Saying this he gave them some fruits and veggies to eat, which he got from the forest)." Pragya was blushing hardly after hearing what Purab said, Abhisheik said, "Arrey yaar if your wife was here I too could have said the same thing." Hearing this Purab became very sad. Abhisheik consoled him saying, " Tomorrow morning we will definitely put an end to Nikhil's reign over us." Sun rays fell on their face, Purab was able to see Nikhil's chariot and became worried and was about to warn Abhisheik but was stopped by Nikhil.

Nikhil said, " Hey you are my enemy actually, because of you I fought with my brother, father and hurt the love of my life. So first let me finish you off ( Keeping sword on Purab's neck)." Abhisheik heard this and hit Nikhil with a stone on his head, Purab told him to hop on to the chariot and was about to ride it but the horses wouldn't budge. He found that those horses were poisoned and wasn't able to move from there. So the trio started to run into the forest more deeply, Pragya was running in front followed by Purab and then Abhisheik. At one point of time Abhisheik felt that his vision were failing, he was not able to see anything. He slowed down and somehow managed to walk and ended up in a pit. Pragya and Purab kept running and dint notice this, when Purab turned back Abhisheik was missing. He called out "Jahanpana... Jahanpana...." Pragya called out "Suniye... Suniye... Where are you?" She was crying badly while saying those words.

They both heard Horse galloping sound again and hid behind a tree and let the chariot ( Nikhil's) pass. Nikhil wondered, 'Just now I heard their voices but I am not able to find them, where could they have gone?' Pragya and Purab ran off deeper into the jungle by that time. Pragya was crying badly, she dint stop crying and ended up having hiccups. They heard a stream flowing, Purab went and took some water in a leaf and offered it to Pragya.
