Prerna asked obliviously, "What the hell is your plan, Mr. millionaire?", pursing her lips as she was not at all good into all this. A simple girl from a lower-middle class family.
"Hm, Plan that is my headache but yes, I will tell you time to time everything," winking Rishab smiled.
She irked out, "Fir mere ko kya karne ka hai?", crossing hand at her chest.
He made her shivered when he came closer to her and she jolted back, "What the hell are you doing?", but he didn't stop and whispered in her ear, "Shhh... kisi ko batane ka nahi hai... aur jaisa jaisa mein kahu waisa karne ka hai", he softly pecked her cheek and she too allowed him, unknowingly.
She gulped down the fresh lump formed and her lips escaped into a low tone, "Alright"
He tiptoed back and handed over a page filled with a script on her hand, "Ye tone change karne ka hai", at which she joined him laughingly.
She stopped when Rishab narrated out, "For being my child's mother you have to play a skit, and for that changing the tone is mandatory".
He turned to look into her eyes, at which she smiled looking into his and assured him, "I can", and started rehearsing the script.
She read it out loud when asked with concern, "What about my family?", at which asked, "You're worried for that merciless man?", shockingly.
She looked down and with moist eyes replied, "He is the father, and I have a mother and sister as well", gulping her fresh lump.
Her words echoed in his ears after all he had none, so he didn't show her tears to her and assured, "They will be fine and safe, I promise", which she admired.
Rishab noticed her nostalgia and added, "Coming to the plan! You have to act like a to-be Basu!", and gulped down.
"Basu? Who are they? After all you are Bajaj", Frowning the temples, she asked.
He spun around to not face her, "My father's last name," which puzzled her.
"Wo to Basu..," she tried to dot it out.
He blasted the truth out, "I am his son, and Bajaj is my mother's last name" which surprised her to force her to ask, "India mein father kaisa bhi ho, surname to usi ka lagana mangta hai?"
She was politically correct, but Rishab Bajaj is the man of change. He took a deep breath, "Do you know we both have two things in common, love for money and father's hatred," looking down he said.
She frowned after all for it was unbelievable that how can a "millionaire father" does not love his son. It wasn't in her imagination, but all she has believed that money can give love also which Rishab had.
She extracted the courage from her soul and asked, "You've told me, no discussion about personal lives in business but to be a good actor I need to know about your emptiness. How couldn't you get father's love, otherwise..." She stopped in between when he laughed.
"My father is for a namesake father, he has only son Anurag, not me." he replied back and continued, "Now, don't ask much. You are in my life for business not being personal," which she agreed.
And the same time he declared, "Hey, listen to the plan"
