I am quite happy with this chapter, it has almost turned out the way I wanted it to though cannot be really sure about you guys😆
Chapter 2
"Where were you?" Pratham found him reclining in an arm chair.
"You know that charlie practically left me with no peace whole day" he complained
"Kahan tha tu...?????, na phone utha raha tha na any reply to texts..., just to let you know that we have no charges for incoming call" he sniffed
"And why the hell you didn't opened the door?" he threw the duplicate keys in his direction.
"Dude, I am talking to you" he scowled
"She was in same place...she had not gone anywhere..." his faint voice hit Pratham's ears
"Who?"
he frowned when he got seized by the feeling about whom he was talking.
"hmmm Anurag, have coffee you will feel better" he handed him his cup
In 2 years friendship, Anurag kept no secret from Pratham, his whole life, his past, his present and his goals for future were in front of Pratham like an open book, he knew all about his grueling childhood where he had been always treated as a son of big businessman with no identity of his own and his father not having a single minute to waste on his son, to an aspiring youth where things finally went his way with certain highs and lows only adding up to his familiarity with life.
And just once telling about the beautiful bliss which turned into a nightmare all because of his the only mistake when once rummaging through his cupboard to borrow his black jacket he got hold of her picture , the only time when Pratham witnessed a weak rather heartbroken Anurag Ganguly who used to feel afraid to open his eyes to confront the emptiness of his room, of his life and even to drift to an uneasy slumber with her face and his mistake haunting him.
"Where?" Pratham leant against the door frame
Coffee did helped Anurag if not anything then atleast to get back into his senses but still the suffocation was there, he could have survived with her accusation, her curses but her silent eyes, serene face left him choking.
"At the shopping complex" he whispered
"With ...my...son" he added after a long pause
It was not taken as a shock by Pratham as what he could draw about her from his talks, in one corner of his heart he knew that she would be carrying his child and even he knew that Anurag knows but never raised the subject again after that day's talk.
"Same radiant beauty, same glow on face, dark black eyes from which person can peer into her soul" he recalled whatever he could from this 10 minute long encounter.
"And my sonnn..." tears brimmed up
"mirror image of my childhood" a smile crept to his lips relishing the moments he spent with him.
And he explained him the whole fiasco and that how she went without saying a word, taking his chance to say anything as well.
I know it had nothing of TaAnu but then this part was necessary for future story and next one is full on TaAnu😛. And I guess by now people know that I am obsessed with name and character Pratham so for me it was just Pratham from Kutumb, you all can imagine who ever you want to😆.
