Swiss Part 3

Prerna and Mr bajaj return to hotel after being rescued from Ronit.

It was nighttime and Prerna had changed as she was almost ready to sleep when she heard a voice from the outside.

“What the hell are you doing here at this time of the night?” Mr bajaj

“That doesn't matter.Main Prerna se milne aaya hoon aur usse mil ke jaonga. Use chot lagi thi. I just want to make sure she is ok. Kya hua Dar gaye na aap dar gaye dekh liya na aapne apni aakhon se ki Prerna mujhse pyar karti hain.” Anurag

“That's enough Mr basu. Leave right now.” Mr Bajaj.

“Anurag'' Prerna This cannot happen, this cannot go on like this, he has to move on and even I am tired. I am tired of this madness and this fear of Anurag coming after me all the time. She had to make Anurag leave. Prerna went and hugged Mr bajaj from behind. 

“Mr bajaj kya kar rahin aap? Come to bed. It's late” Prerna. Mr Bajaj was shocked. And then she looked at Anurag.

“Anurag?? What the hell? What are you doing here? “ Prerna and quickly closed her robes.

“Prerna tum!!!!” Anurag

“Thats enough Anurag. Bas Karo stop it” Prerna. Just then Anupam and Nivedita came from behind. 

“Anupam ji samjhaiye ise kuch.” Prerna.

“Prerna woh?” Anupam

“Kya Prerna Anupamji. Jab se main aur Mr bajaj yahan aaye hain iska yehi drama chal raha hain. Normal language main ise stalking kehte hain anurag.” Prerna

“Prerna !!!! Ek to mere bhai ne tumhari jaan bachayi aur tum aise baat kar rahin hoon isse” Nivedita

“Chilaye mat. Aur maine kkab mana kiya is baat se ki isne meri jaan bachai hain lekin iska matlab ye nahin ki yeh is tarah ki harqate karega. Aap khud mujhe bataye Nivi di agar koi aapke piche is trah pad jaye aap jaha jaye waha chale aaye aapke lakh bar mana karne ke bawajood bhi to aapke kaisa laga. Uncomfortable nahi lagega aapko.  At first I thought ki theek hain jane deti hoon you are hurt but now this is gone overboard. Main tumhe last warning de rahin hoon. Meri shadi ho chuki hain, main Mr bajaj ki wife hoon, I have made my choice. I know ki hamare beech main kuch tha but woh tha woh mera past tha woh mera aaj kabhi nahin banega kabhi bhi nahin. Apne bare main na sahi kaka babu and apni family ke bare main soch kar hosh main aa jao and Leave me alone please. Warna next time, next time I will call the cops.'' Prerna. NIvedita and Anupam were shocked and dragged Anurag away from there. As soon as he left Mr Bajaj went off on Prerna. 

“What the hell was that? Yeh yeh nautanki kya thi Mr Basu ke samne” mr bajaj

“Natak karna jaroori tha warna woh move on nahin karega.” Prerna

“I don't care and I refuse to be a part of this charade. ” Mr Bajaj. 

“To kya karo main” Prerna

“Mujhe nahin malum but apne in stupid childish games main mujhe involve mat kijiye.” Mr Bajaj

“Koi shauk nahin hain mujhe aapke kareeb aane ka. Lekin mujhe laga Agar use lagega ki main aapke saath move on kar chuki hoon aage badh chuki hoon to woh yeh sab nahin karega. Shayad woh apni life main aage bad jaaye.” Prerna 

“Mr basu reality accept karte hain ya nahin move on karte hain ya nahin I don’t care.” Mr bajaj walked away

“Pata hain mujhe that you don’t care aapse yeh umeed bhi nahin ki thi maine. Par kya karo insaan hoon aapki tarah machine nahin hoon takleef hoti hain mujhe. Takleef hoti hai is reality ko accept karne main ki ab main Anurag ke paas kabhi nahin ki ab hum kabhi ek nahin ho sakte. Hum kabhi ek nahin ho sakte…..” Prerna. Mr Bajaj stood listening and after some time turn around and looked straight at her. 

“Aise mat dekhiye mujhe. Jaanti hoon main jaanti hoon shaadi ka matlab kya hota hain un rasmo ka kya matlab hota hain. Apni limits jaanti hoon main. Apni deal ke terms and conditions bhooli nahin hoon main.” Prerna

“Please go and get yourself some rest” Mr Bajaj 

“Nahin kar sakti main rest jab tak aap aaj mujhe apne sawalon ka jawab nahin denge. kyun kiya aapne mere saath aisa. Kya galti thi meri. Meri zindagi barbad kardi aapne you destroyed my life. Sab kuch chin liya mera mera parivaar mera pyaar sab kuch sabse dur kar diya aapne kyun kiya. Jawab dijiye. Boliye na boliye. Just for buisness just for one more win.” Prerna grabbing Mr Bajaj by the collar. 

“Good Night Mrs Bajaj” Mr Bajaj and Prerna annoyed pushed him.

“Aap chahte to hamari madad kar sakte the. You could have helped us Anurag chot jaata lekin aapne mujhe majboor kiya ki main aapse shaadi karo. Halat dekhi hain aapne uski. Kya chala jaata aapka agar aap thodi si help kar dete.” Prerna. 

“Kyun karo? There are no free lunches in this world Mrs Bajaj. Everything comes at a price. Log BHagwan se kuch magne jaate hain to bhi bolte hain ki agar aaj mujhe yeh mil jayega to main itne ka prasad lagunga. Neend se jagiye Mrs Bajaj. Charity karne ki aadat mujhe waise bhi nahin hain aur mr basu ya basu famlily ke kisi bhi member ke liye to bilkul bhi nahin. ” Mr bajaj and the moment it came out of his mouth he regretted it. He shouldn't have lost control, he shouldnt have and started to walk away.

“Kyun? Kyun itni nafrat karte hain aap unse” Prerna running after him and stopping him in the way.

“Get out of my way Mrs Bajaj” Mr Bajaj

“Nahin aaj mujhe jawab chahiye kyun aap unse itni nafrat karte hain. Aap kehte ki apne Basus ko hurt karne ke liye mujhse shaadi nahin ki lekin sabse jyada kurt to wahin log ho rahi hain. Natak kyun kar rahin hain sach bol dijiye na ki yahin aapka plan tha. Aapka target basus the jiski liye aapne aur Ronit ne ye plan banaya yeh trap bichaya and now you have won.” Prerna

“You know what mujhe lagta tha sirf Basu family ke logo main dimaag thoda kam hain par aap to unse do kadam aage hain. Main basu ko already barbad kar chuka tha. Basu bari meri ho chuki thi basus ke companies meri ho chuki thi mujhe uske liye us idiot Ronit ki zaroorat nahin thi. Aur in sab ke baad bhi woh log apne ghar main aaram se bethe hain unka ruthba status sab kuch waise ka waise hain in fact they are becoming a nuisance for me and aap kehti hain ki maine aapse shaadi basus ko barbaad karne ke liye ki.” Mr bajaj.

“Aapke aise comments se sach nahin badal jayega.” Prerna

“Fine jab aapko sare answers pata hain to mujhse questions kyun kar rahin hain” Mr bajaj

“Fine” Prerna was about to go to her room when she started feeling pain in her tummy and she screamed in pain. 

"Are you ok?" Mr Bajaj

"Aapko fikar karne ko zaroorat nahi hain"Prerna and then she started screaming in bigger voice. 

"Aah" Prerna 

"Are you ok?" Mr Bajaj

"Maine kaha na aapko fikar karne ki zaroorat nahi hain. Leave me. Aaahhh" prerna 

"Mrs Bajaj???." Mr Bajaj. Finally prerna was in so much pain that she no longer had the will to fight. 

"Pet main bahut dard ho raha hain. Aaahhhh. Aaahhhh." prerna 

"Please relax kijiye" Mr Bajaj. He called the reception and asked them for a doctor straightaway and then he saw those little spots of blood on Prerna's clothes and he tried to pick her up in his arms to take her in the room.

"Dont touch me dont you dare touch me" Prerna

"Please apne liye na sahi apne bache ke liye let me help you" Mr Bajaj and he again tried to pick her and this time she didnt protest. She just kept screaming in pain. Mr bajaj picked up the phone and shouted at reception

"Where the hell is the doctor" Mr Bajaj

"Prerna prerna. Please relax." Mr Bajaj while Prerna kept screaming in pain. 

Doctor came after sometime and checked Prerna and all arrangements were made for her in the room only in less than an hour. The doctor came out of her room after sometime. 

"How is she?" Mr Bajaj

"Your wife and kid both are fine but you need to be careful. She has had some rough last few hours I am guessing. She could have lost the baby today and there will be danger for the next 24 hours. Make sure her legs are elevated and she properly eats. She is very weak. You need to be very very careful and not stress at all. Do you have a list of what medicines, maybe what she was taking?" Doctor

“No I am sorry” Mr bajaj

“Ok. I am just prescribing some medicines please make sure she takes them it is for the pain” Doctor

"Yes of course." Mr bajaj. While Prerna was at her room the first thing Mr bajaj did was checkout and make arrangements to stay somewhere else. Mr Bajaj had just entered the room. He Took two pillows and was trying to place them below her leg  when Prerna woke up.

“Kya kar rahin ahin aap?” Prerna

“Keep your legs above them. Doctors have asked to keep your legs elevated. The next 24 hours are critical” Mr Bajaj

“Baby ko to kuch nahi hua hain na? Haan kuch hua nahin hain na” Prerna

“Chinta hai aapko iski. I don't get it Mrs bajaj you don't take care of yourself I have not seen you take any medicines. Even I know that you are supposed to take some vitamins during this time. You run around like this you take all this tension Mr Basu the whole basu family. Do you even think about your child?” Mr bajaj sat on the couch near the bed. Prerna turned her face away. 

“How many months?” Mr bajaj

“Months?” Prerna

“How many months or weeks or anything to your pregnancy?” mr bajaj. Prerna kept looking at the wall and crying. 

“Aapko fikar karne ki zaroorat nahin hain. Maine kaha tha aapse. Main dekh lungi” Prerna

“Look at me” Mr bajaj. Prerna still kept looking at the wall. 

“LOOK AT ME” Mr bajaj. Prerna, shocked and scared looked at Mr bajaj. 

“I am sorry I didn’t mean to scare you. Mrs bajaj I know you don't like this and you would rather be somewhere else. But this is what it is? Maine aapse pehle bhi kaha tha shaadi se pehle ki main hum dono ke beech koi romantic relationship expect nahin kar raha tha aur nahin ab karta hoon. Lekin Duniya ke liye aur jo rasme humne nibhayi as per them you are my wife and we are Mr and Mrs bajaj aur aapka honewala baby will be a Bajaj. Maine aapko uske saath accept kiya hain aur woh meri bhi utni hi responsibility hain jinti aapki. Is that clear? Agli baar aise mishap nahin hogi when it comes to this baby we will find a common ground. Baki aapko jitna gussa nikalna hain jo karna hain kijiye I dont care. Is that ok?” Mr Bajaj. Prerna still didnt say anything. 

“Mrs Bajaj?” Mr bajaj. Prerna turned her face towards him and could see it was actually concerning, so she just nodded. 

“Good. Nurse aa gayi hai aapki. She will get you changed. Rest for tonight. We will leave for Bern tomorrow morning.” Mr bajaj

“Bern?” Prerna

“Aapko shayad pasand hoga but I dont like watching Mr basu face wherever I go” Mr Bajaj.

“Aise koi baat nahin hain. Mujhe khud acha nahin lagta hain jab woh is tarah har jagah. Par I just don’t know what to do?” Prerna

“Main jaanta hoon aur isiliye we are leaving tom. Hum yahan rahenge then Woh rahenge aas paas har waqt har jagah hame follow karenge. Main apne tarike se handle kar sakta hoon but I don't think you will like that way.” Mr Bajaj. Prerna was about to say something but he held his hand.

“Don't worry main kuch nahi karunga. Doctor has asked you to have no stress and I don't intend to increase it anymore so we are leaving.” Mr bajaj

“Humlog wapis India nahin ja sakte” Prerna

“Nahin you are not ready to travel. I have a house there. You can relax for sometime once all reports are good we will go back.” Mr Bajaj. Prerna nodded. Mr bajaj was about to leave.

“Agar Anurag waha bhi aa gaya to” Prerna

“Kitna time laga tha Mr Basu ko mere ghar ka address pata karne main ya mere bare main kuch bhi pata karna main. Yahan par woh apni manmani kar pa rahi hain kyon ki sabko pata hain that we were coming here for the business deal. Deal khatam ho chuki hain ab main kaha jaunga kya karunga no one knows except for me and now maybe you” Mr Bajaj left from there. Prerna just nodded.
