Chapter 46

Bajaj Mansion

Anurag had again gone to Bajaj mansion. He was skeptical about going because of the restraining order but the lure to see Sneha made him take the risk. He entered Bajaj Mansion and was greeted by Mr Bose and Sneha was playing in the hall with her nanny.

“Hello Mr Bose!! Kaise hain aap?” Anurag said, shaking hands with Mr Bose. Mr Bose shook hands and gave a half hug to him and followed him inside. Saba Kukki’s nanny didn't know much but she knew that her bosses didn't like him there. She knew that there was no use of talking to Mr Bose plus if she objected he could make her leave and Sneha would be all alone. Saba just smiled and kept playing with Sneha. After sometime Mr basu joined Sneha and started playing with her. Saba didn't want to leave Sneha but she also needed to inform Mrs Bajaj about it. Just then Sneha spilled the water on her clothes which gave her the perfect excuse. She took Sneha to change and as soon as she got in the washroom and called Prerna.

“Hello Mam?” ‘Saba

“Saba Aap is waqt sab theek hai ghar pe?” Prerna asked, smiling while Mr Bajaj looked tensed and asked with his hands what happened. Prerna shook her head and showed her finger one min and smiled. 

“Haan Mam sab theek hain. Bas woh woh hain na aapke relative kai baar aate hain Mr Bose se milne kuch din pehle bhi aaye the aur Kukki ko bilkul acha nahin laga. Mr Basu yehi bulaya tha Mr Bose ne. Woh phir aaye hain” Saba said

“What?????” Prerna shouted and Mr bajaj tried to get off from bed but Prerna stopped him and replied to Saba “main thodi der main aati hoon aap chinta mat kijiye. Maa ya Kukki nahin hain?” 

“Nahin woh Mr Bose movie ke tickets laye the Kukki bahut excited ho gayi to Mr Bose ne Nitya ke saath bhej diya aur Veena Mam aayi nahin abhi tak kuch der pehle call aaya tha unse baat ki thi unhne bole ki she is reaching that is why Kukki went. Par pata nahin” Saba replied

“Kukki !!!! Nitya ke saath” Prerna said in a whisper and then seeing that Mr Bajaj was tensed composed herself “Ok Mein aa rahi hoon” Prerna said and cut the call. 

“Sab theek hain?” Mr. Bajaj asked. Prerna didn't want him to have more tension at this time so she just smiled. 

“Woh Sneha ko thoda fever jaisa ho raha hai to tang kar rahin hain Saba ko” Prerna said. Mr Bajaj knew Prerna was lying as she had talked to Sneha some time ago and all was ok in fact she had never seen the girl more happy but he didn't want to push her. 

“Rishab??” Prerna asked moving a hand in front of him.

“Haan.. Haan”Mr Bajaj replied.

“Agar aap theek hain to main thodi der ghar jakar aa rahin hoon. Bas yu gayi aur yu aayi” Prerna said. Mr Bajaj nodded and Prerna ran towards the car. As soon as she sat in the car she called the police station.

“Hello Inspector Ghosh. Prerna Bajaj bol rahin hoon. Mr Mehra ne mujhe aapka number diya tha.”Prerna said 

“Yes” Ghosh replied

“Mr Ghosh as you know I had a restraining order against Mr Aurag basu as I didn't want him anywhere near my family but now it has come to my information ki mr basu mere hi ghar pe hain and My kid is alone in my house and main aur Mr bajaj dono ghar pe nahin hain.” Prerna said

“Don't worry humlog abhi bajaj Mansion pahuch rahin hain” Ghosh replied and cut the call. 

There at Bajaj Mansion MrBose and Anurag were having dinner and having a great time. Sneha was also playing with Saba and as much as she wanted to take her from there Mr Bose somehow managed to keep them there with some work.

“She is very happy around you” Mr Bose said and Anurag just smiled.

“Woh kehte hain na khoon khoon ko pehchan jaata hain. She will always have that relation with you” Mr Bose tried to pamper Anurag. He had no interest whatsoever in Anurag and Sneha; he just wanted a little bit more trouble for Prerna and Rishab. They were all having food and suddenly Sneha went and stood next to Anurag and said “Dada'' and Anurag was shocked. Mr Bose looked like he had hit a jackpot.

“Yes Sneha I am your dada” Anurag said, moving around and kneeling down to Sneha.”Ek baar aur bolo” and Sneha said it again.

“Yes yes I am so happy” Anurag said and Mr Bose joined in laughing “I told you no but you never listen” and between the laughs and stupidity they didn't listen what she said next when right then Prerna entered the house. 

“Uski puri baat to sun lo Anurag”Prerna said and both looked at her confused.

“What kya suno main kya suno haan, usne bola usne mujhe dada bola woh pehchaan gayi mujhe meri beti pehchaan gayi mujhe usne mujhe dada bola aur tum aur tumhara woh bajaj kuch nahin kar paye. Dekho called me dada, ``Anurag shouted as Prerna stood in front of him, arms folded.

“Sneha ek baar aur bolo na bacha” Anurag said

“Dada” Sneha said 

“Dekha dekha na tumne you yo...” Anurag said 

“Dada Chair” Sneha shouted again and Anurag stopped midway.

“Dada Chair. You “Sneha said and went towards the chair in front of Mr Bose and pointed towards the chair and the smile left Anurag’s face.

“Sahi kehte hain Mr bajaj tumhe sirf apne assumptions banne aate hain nahin. Woh tumse keh rahin hain ki yeh mere dada ki chair you cannot sit. Woh wali chair woh Mr Bajaj ki hain he always sits there.” Prerna said and Anurag stood like stone when he suddenly heard a siren. Prerna went near Sneha and Kissed her and asked Saba to go upstairs with Sneha.

“Yeh Police yahan kyun aayi hain” Mr Bose said but then he looked at Anurag and knew what it was. However he never expected Prerna to go this far. 

“Woh kya hain na Mr Bose agar koi restraining order de aapke against aur aap usi ke ghar main bina uski marzi ke aa jaye to use criminal offence mana jaata hain.” Prerna said sitting on dinig table and pouring himself some water. 

“PRERNA!!!!!” Anurag shouted.

“Anurag please chillao mat Sneha dar jayegi. Sula rahin hogi use Saba.” Prerna said

“Ise maine bulaya tha you cannot do this” Mr Bose shouted.

“Haan toh maine kab mana kiya aapne bulaya tha, aapko thodi na pata tha restraining order ke bare main.” perna said, making an expression as to being understanding. “Ise pata tha he should have been more careful. Shouldn’t you Anurag!!! Mr Bose main jaanti hoon aap Kukki ke liye aae hain aapko in sab ke kya matlab aap thodi na Anurag ko use karenge mere against. I mean you know ki Kukki ko agar galti se bhi pata chala ki you called Anurag when she was not home and that is why you bought the tickets" Prerna said making a horrifying face and Mr Bose moved his face away. 

“You are ..”Anurag was about to say

“Kya Anurag disgusting wahiyat ghatiya golddigger sab kuch sabit kar chuke hoon tum mujhe to jo mera character haan wahin kar rahin hoon. Kya problem hain?” Prerna replied

“Prerna !!!! Please baba ki izzat hain is sheher main. Log respect dete hain unhe”Anurag

“Aur mera kya main kya hoon. Mere maa papa ki koi izzat nahin jinki unbringing ko tumne puri duniya ke samne jholta diya. Mr Bajaj kya hain Kukki kya hain jinki patni ko jiski Maa ko tumne sabke samne ek gold digger sabit kar diya.” Prerna shouted. Just then the cops barged in.

“Mrs Bajaj!!!” Inspector Ghosh replied.

“Inspector” Prerna said pointing towards Mr Basu.

“MrBasu do you know that you have a restraining order against the Bajaj family and you cannot be around 1 km radius of them” Inspector Ghosh replied.

“Nahin officer woh main bas confusion ho gaya tha” Anurag tried to handle the situation. 

“Mr basu yeh orders aapke ghar pe kal hi pahucha diye gaye the. The registry was signed which means you know. Then may I ask what are you doing here?” Inspector Ghosh said

“Office main sirf Sneha se milne aaya tha” Anurag said

“Sneha ???” Inspector Ghosh said 

“Meri daughter smaller then Kukki” Prerna replied

“Haan exactly Baba really loves her and he wanted me to just check on her as you know that Mr bajaj was shot and all. That is why I only came otherwise why would i?” I know the rules.” Anurag tried to handle the situation

“Mr basu agar aise baat thi to Mr Moloy basu khud aa sakte the and else you could have called. You had no business coming here. I am sorry but you are under arrest for defying a restraining order and getting into the Bajaj property.” Inspector Ghosh said while putting handcuffs on him and taking him into the jeep just when Kukki and Nitya arrived in the car. Nitya seemed like she had done days of work in 3 hours. 

“What is going on?” Kukki asked 

“Nothing. Thank you for dropping my daughter home Nitya. I hope you enjoyed it with her.” Prerna said looking at Kukki

“Oh we enjoyed it so much,” Kukki said hugging Nitya sarcastically.

“That is great so you can take Kukki with you for her shopping. She has to buy a new dress for her friend's birthday. Prerna as you know is busy being at the hospital.” Mr bose said

“NO!!!!” Nitya almost shouted and they all looked at her surprised. “No, what I mean is I have lots of work plus I think I should go with the police and check on Mr Basu” Nitya said hurriedly leaving. Kukki tried to hide a smile. 

“Mom what is going on?”Kukki asked again and Prerna just shook her head. 

“Aap theek hoon?” Prerna asked Kukki and kukki nodded.”Go to your room and freshen up" and kukki went ahead and Mr Bose also left.

“Mr Bose aapko is ghar mein maine isliye aane diya kyunki mujhe genuinely laga tha ki aap Kukki ki care karte hain and I still think that. Mujhe bahut acha lagta agar us care ka kuch part aap Sneha ko bhi dete. Nahin dena hain mat dijiye lekin don't try to harm her.” Prerna said and Mr Bose turned around and was about to ask something when Prerna showed a hand before and answered “Yes I am threatening you” and went towards Kukki’s room

“Yeh Maa kaha reh gayi” Prerna thought going towards the room.

Kukki was brushing her teeth when Prerna found her.

“Movie kaise thi?” Prerna asked

“Kaha dekh paye mumma. Dekho pehle to kya hua na Nitya aur main pehle uska phone gaadi main bhul gayi kyunki main usme games khel rahin thi. Phir niche gaye phone lekar aaye. Tab tak show suru ho gaya. Phir I couldn't decide what to eat maine bahut sari cheezein le li popcorn ice cream burger NItya ko baar baar jana pada. Then people got irritated. Aur because I ate so much pata nahi kyun I think mere pet main kuch problem ho gayi. I needed to go to the bathroom again and again. Aur phir use hall main daant padi aur aur phir bechari Nitya frustrate ho gayi to usne mujh par chila diya aur hall main sabke samne to baki sabne use bahut sunaya. Kisi tarah se hum log nikal ke niche aaye to pata chala uske gaadi ke type punture...........” Kukki sat with a sigh. 

“Kukki!!!” Prerna said 

“I knew Mr Bose ne jaan much ke tickets diye the but I thought ki woh you know mujhe NItya ki aur push karna chahte hain to make me hate you. I didn't know ki Basu clan was coming” Kukki said

“Aaj ke baad nahi aayega” Prerna said 

“Naani kaha hain” Kukki said 

“Nahin aayegi unki tabiyat theek nahi hain. Main ruk jaati hoon maine Mr Mehra ko call kiya tha. He said he can go aur waise bhi Mr Bajaj is feeling much better” Prerna said 

“Really !! When is he coming back home?” Kukki asked clapping her hands

“Kuch din aur. Aap log so main aati hoon” Prerna said and as she was about to go out she turned around and said “Oye Mini Bajaj You rocked” Prerna said and Kukki bowed in front of her and both started laughing. 

Mr Bajaj at an old Godown

“Sir you shouldn’t have come. We shouldn't have come. That is why I was not telling you. It was not needed aap ki halat bhi theek nahin hain. Jaisa aap chahte the waise hi ho raha hain. Then Why?” Mr Mehra said to Mr Bajaj who was sitting in the car holding his head and having some water.

“Things are about to blow up Mehra. Dsouza ko kuch pata chal gaya hain aur woh aaj zaroor us Vaibhav ko maar dega.” Mr BAjaj said as a covered Vaibhav was taken out of the van and thrown to the floor. Then about 4 men started beating him while Mr bajaj waited and waited. They were hiding on the opposite side in a black car in shadows so nobody could watch.

“Sir woh mar jayega. Hum uske marne ka to wait nahi kar rahin hain na?” Mehra said 

“Nahin uske unconsciousness hone ka” Mr Bajaj said 

After sometime they had finished the work and Dsouza in a fit of rage was about to shoot him and Mr bajaj turned the lights off and on giving an illusion that someone was there. Dsouza got scared and shouted “ Kaun hain?” Dsouza shouted but Mr bajaj didn't answer. 

“Jaaon jake dekho kaun hain waha par” Dsouza barked at his thugs. Someone of these men came and ran towards the car while Mr bajaj stayed right where he was.

“Sir?” Mr Mehra said but Mr bajaj was unworried and sat relaxing having water.One of those men was trying to hit a stone to the car windows when Mr Bajaj opened the car window, held his hand and then moved his windows up and he screamed in pain. He then opened his car window and kicked hard so that he fell on his back. He then came outside and two men tried to hit him from behind but dodged them and crashed them both together as they fell to the ground. Another man tried to hit on his head but Mehra shouted and tried to take the hit but Mr Bajaj stopped it just in time. 

“Are we done Mr Dsouza?” Mr bajaj replied saying in the shadows.

“Who the hell are you?” Mr D'souza barked

“No one that you need to know. I just need him alive for one month and then he is all yours.” Mr bajaj said 

“Get lost” Mr Dsouza

“You know I have seen all this” Mr Bajaj

“To kya karoge social media pe upload karoge ya police pe lekar jaoge aur waise bhi zinda bachoge tab na” Dsouza barked trying to fire towards him but Mr bajaj didnt even flinch.

“Aapki beti ko dekha sakta hoon aur isliye zinda rehne ki zaroorat nahin hain mujhe. Already yeh video kisi aur ke paas hain.” Mr Bajaj said and he knew he had hit a nerve. 

“Who are you?” D'souza again asked.

“1 month that is all I need and then he is all yours.” Mr bajaj said and Dsouza ran his hands over his head. 

“Do you have any idea what he did to my daughter? He is not going away alive” Mr D'souza said 

“Mujhe yeh chahiye bhi nahin. Just one month and then he all yours.” Mr bajaj again said 

“NOOOOO” Dsouza barked and kicked his unconscious figure. 

“1 month ke baad aapki beti ise khud chod degi. Abhi aap yeh sab karenge aapki beti aapse nafrat karegi lekin mujhe yeh 1 month de dijiye she will hate him and will do as you say” Mr Bajaj said 

“Kaise maan lo tumhari baat. Agar aisa na hua to?” D'souza said 

“Your choice” Mr bajaj said and was about to leave. Mr D'souza realised he had no other option; he cannot kill him. Mr Bajaj was there and if his daughter gets a whim he will refuse to marry the boy he has chosen and the whole world will know she is pregnant. He had to leave for now if everything doesn't go according to his plan he can kill him then. 

“Fine!!!!!” Mr D'souza said and left from there with his man.

“Hospital lekar chaliye use” Mr bajaj said to Mr Mehra and Mr Mehra arranged everything. Vaibhav was taken to the hospital and was kept in a scheduled ward where no one knew about him.

After 2 days 

Mr Bajaj was sitting in Vaibhav’s room and waiting for him to wake up from sleep. Doctors had informed him that Vaibhav was out of danger and he knew now was the time to talk. Mr Mehra was waiting outside near the lift while there were guards if any issues came up. Suddenly Vaibhav woke up and was surprised to see him there. He was suddenly very happy thinking that Mr Bajaj had saved him and maybe he had hit a jackpot again. 

“Rishi!!!!!” Vaibhav said 

“Mr bajaj!!!” Mr Bajaj replied

“Mr bajaj” Vaibhav said and smiled. “Waise hospital kafi acha hain. Colour walls ka thoda pasand nahin hain mujhe. Kaafi achi khati daari kar rhahin hoon tum meri haan Mr Bose ne fasaya hi aisa hian nahin” Vaibhav said and Mr Bajaj smiled. “Tumhe kya hua?” Vaibhav asked, lying peacefully on the bed. 

“Which colour would you like?” Mr Bajaj said 

“Let me think!!!?” Vaibhav said laughing. “But first bore ho gaya hoon get some TV or something. And some nice food Please. How time changes no. Sab pata hain mujhe MR BAJAAAAJ Fati padi hain tumhari. Mr Bose ki wajah se aur isliye tumhe meri zaroorat hain.” 

“Really!!!!” Mr bajaj said “Par woh kya hain na Vaibhav mujhe kuch pata chala hain.” Mr bajaj said, taking Vaibhav's hand and trying to insert the syringe for the glucose left by the nurse. He tried to insert at a point. 

“AAAAAHHHHHH” Vaibhav screamed. 

“Not this nerve.” Mr bajaj said let's try to find another one and he kept checking his hand. “Mujhe pata chala hain ki Kukki jab do saal ki thi aur uske saath woh accident hua tha woh tumne location di thi mere compitetors ko”Mr Bajaj inserted nerve and he again screamed. “Aur 2 years pehle Menaka ko drugs overdose se tumne marne ki koshish ki because you wanted all her property.” Mr Bajaj inserted another nerve and he again screamed. “Kitne saloon se main tumhe dhund raha hoon, Mr Bose tumhe dhund rahin hain, why don't I bargain you for the SCAM what do you think about it.” Mr Bajaj said and Vaibhav was scared. 

“Maine akele ne kuch nahin kiya mujhe bas paise chahiye the mujhe nahin pata tha ki itni badi problem ho jayegi. Maine nahin kiya aur drugs overdose woh Menaka pagal thi din bhar chilati rehti thi meri bachi meri bachi Dam** dimaag kharab karke rakha tha Maa maa beti beti pagal kar diya tha mujhe isliye bas ek raat sulane ke liye diya tha maine. Woh woh overdose ho gaya. I didn't want to, I didn't want to...” Vaibhav said, trying to hide his hand and then he suddenly fell down from the bed and screamed again in pain.  

“Are chot to nahin lagi tumhe.” Mr bajaj trying to get him to stand up “Really to tum to bahut innocent ho. Main kitni badi galti karne ja raha tha. I am so so sorry. Tum tum chale jao yahan se Vaibhav you go. Okay” Mr bajaj said caressing his head. Vaibhav tried to get up and started to get up limping. He just stood holding the couch and standing up supporting it not able to grasp what was happening. 

“Kya hua Vaibhav jao no?” Mr Bajaj said 

“What.. what… Do you want to???” Vaibhav asked. Mr Bajaj smiled and went back and got some papers and threw them on the bed. 

“In papers pe sign karo” Mr bajaj said 

“Yeh kya hain?” Vaibhav said 

“Inke mutabiq Dreamline Infringment ka pura plot pura scam tumne aur tumhari then wife Menaka Bose ne plan kiya tha. It was all you and Kalyani Sarkar had nothing to do with it.” Mr Bajaj said

“Pagal ho gaye ho kya? Mujhe mujhe jail ho jayegi ” Vaibhav siad 

“Zinda rahoge.” Mr bajaj said forwarding a pen.

“and I don't have any money to pay the compensation and damages. Pehli hi loan sharks ke bachta phir raha hoon.” Vaibhav again said 

“Sign the papers” Mr bajaj said sternly.

“Koi… koi...nahin manega. Koi proof nahin hain” Vaibhav said 

“Sign!!!” Mr Bajaj said and Vaibhav again ran a hand over his head.

“Damned sab theek chal raha tha. Main aur Menaka acha khasa us Dreamline infringment ke paiso par aish karte lekin nahin Mr Bose ne sab bigaad diya. Menaka ko apne se dur hi nahin jane dena chahta tha.” Vaibhav said and threw the medicine tray.

“Mere paas tumhare sad love story sunne ka time nahin hain” Mr Bajaj said

“Unki wife ko to rok nain paye apne hisaab se rakh nahin paye bhaag gayi apne lover ke saath to beti ko rokna chahte the” Vaibhav still continued

“Kya bakwas kar rahin hoon tum” Mr Bajaj said as he was stunned to hear about this.

“Haan Mrs Bose shaadi se pehle kisi aur se pyaar karti thi. Pagal ho gaye the uske pyaar main haasil karna chahte the kisi bhi haal main. Par Mrs bose refused and upar se age gap. Mr Bose ne uske parent pe favour karke pressurise kiya tha shaadi karne ko aur usne haan kardi. When Menaka was 13 she couldn't take it anymore and left with her lover. Menaka ko Mr bose ko sabko chod kar chalie gayi bhaag gayi and Mr Bose got obsessed with Menaka. Menaka ne bataya tha mujhe. Isiliye use tumhare paise ka lalach dekar shaadi karwa di warna Menaka ko kaha shaadi karni thi tum jaise insaan se. Mujhse pyar karti thi. Pehle se deal thi she can have her relation with me and I would be well taken care of while she keeps playing sweet wife to you. That's what it was a bloody deal. Just because he didn't want Menaka to disappear with me. Do you know how unhappy she was with you. Par tumhe kaha kuch nazar aata hain apni happy family ke samne. Agar us waqt bhaag jate sab theek hota.” Vaibhav said and Mr Bajaj was shocked but he didn't say anything 

“Sign the papers Vaibhav. NOW!!!!!!!!” Mr Bajaj shouted. Vaibhav got scared and haphazardly and reluctantly took the pen and signed the paper. Mr Bajaj took the papers silently and  he came outside and moved towards the lift where Mehra was waiting for him.. He checked if everything was okay and was quite happy but Mr Bajaj seemed tense.

“All Ok sir?” Mehra said as they entered his room

“Aapne Kalyani ji ke saath mil kar sare documents ready kar liye hai recipts transactions everything. Agar kisi aur document pe uske sign chahiye le lijyega. Recipts property papers whatever we need.” Mr bajaj said 

“Sir lekin isse Mr Bose ko freely chut jayenge.” Mr Mehra said 

“Oh yes he will” Mr bajaj said 

“Then !!!???/” Mr Mehra

“Menka us waqt Mr Bose ki partner thi on paper. Fraud unki company se hain. Mr Bose, his company he will have to pay money back to all the shareholders and for that” Mr Bajaj said and Mehra nodded trying to understand. 

“He will have to go bankrupt. Bose industries??” Mr Mehra said 

“Ab meri hai it is under Bajaj infringement he cannot touch it.” Mr bajaj said and now he was getting irritated with his question. Vaibhav’s words were ringing in his head and he just wanted some time alone. 

“Press will have a field day. Unki ek company jo scam main involved thi aur woh bhi Menaka ka direct connection people will connect the dots. Make sure you talk to all our people in the Press and leak the correct information.” Mr Bajaj said “Start the Procedure” .Mr Mehra understood it was time to leave but he was tensed for Mr Bajaj.

“Mujhse pyar karti thi……….. Pehle se deal thi she can have her relation with me and I would be well taken care of while she keeps playing ………... That's what it was a bloody deal. .Do you know how unhappy she was ………….with you. Par tumhe kaha kuch nazar aata hain apni happy family ke samne…………..”  It kept ringing in his head. He needed a cigar and he needed one right now. He went and poured himself some water but his hands kept fumbling.

“I am really that blind that I couldn't see that people could fool me so easily.” MrBajaj kept on thinking and chuckled sarcastically.

“Pagal ho gaye the uske pyaar main haasil karna chahte the kisi bhi haal main…………………….... Par Mrs bose refused and upar se age gap………………….. Mr parent pe favour kark…. pressurise……………... kiya tha. she couldn't take it anymore …………...and left with her lover. Menaka ko Mr bose ko sabko…………………….. chod kar chalie gayi bhaag gayi”

“NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not you I am not you and ….”Mr Bajaj held his head and he fell unconscious.
