Prerna nervously knocked the door of his study.
After an affirmative reply, she stepped in.
She slowly walked in, framing and re framing her questions and perhaps, requests. Her heart was beating loudly and those awkward rumbles in her 8 month pregnant belly didn't help either.
"Mr. Bajaj... Woh umm, aap... aapki flight kab ki hai?", she asked, biting her lip. She mentally slapped herself.
He gave her a queer look through the corner of his eye. She moved her gaze away.
"I've told you this thrice already", he remarked.
"2 am midnight"
Prerna felt the sudden surge to blurt out everything in one go. Yes, there were mood swings. But he was beyond them. She clasped her saree and took a deep breath.
She was finding reasons to atleast stay back in the room so that she wouldn't receive the get out order within 30 seconds.
She saw an antique radio placed on one of the shelves.
She scuttled across to have a look.
She pressed the ON button to see if it works.
He did feel annoyed but to indefinitely postpone the topic in hand, he allowed her to meddle with his beloved artifacts, with a low grunt.
The old piece rattled to life with a hiss.
Ruk jaana oh jaana...
Her heart skipped a bit. What a perfect timing!
She turned around to have a quick glance at him.
He was still busy checking the file and paperwork.
Ruk jaana oh jaana humse do baatein
Karke chali jaana, yeh mausam hai deewana...
She coughed a bit to grab attention and started humming it herself.
He gave no reaction whatsoever. Bass, she couldn't stoop further. He knew what she wanted, yet didn't want to talk about it.
Dejected, she stormed off.
-X-
It was nearing 11pm.
She heard a knock on her door.
Excited, she got up quickly and opened it.
"I've told you not to run around", he said gravely.
She made a face. Rules and rules.
"I've appointed a doctor for your delivery. She'll be here 24*7 with you".
She looked at her bump.
"It is very important merger", he said.
She escorted him to the car.
"Nothing to worry about", he repeated, seeing her engulfed in doubt.
She nodded. The car drove off, into the darkness.
Her face fell down. Of course yes, the doctor would be the best and there is nothing to worry but his presence certainly couldn't be filled by a doctor. She wanted him around, in person.
"Please mat jayiye naa", she finally said, as the dust swirled on the road.
