Chapter Four
Kukki: Prerna Maa, hmmm
Looks at Prerna, then looks at sneha in her hands
Prerna: Yes Kukki?
Kukki: Is this baby yours?
Prerna: Yes she is mine, her name is sneha
Kukki: Sneha, alright, when she becomes big we will be friends forever
Prerna smiles at the cute Kukki
Mr Bajaj returns home to find Kukki playing around Prerna and Sneha
Mr Bajaj: Kukki has made new friends I see
Prerna looks at Mr Bajaj
Kukki runs to Mr Bajaj, Mr Bajaj caress her
[Basu Badi]
Mohini: Omg, did you hear Prerna got married to Mr Bajaj, apparently they are saying that MrBajaj asked for Prerna in marriage
Moloy: They must be lying, how could a businessman like Mr Bajaj ask for Prerna’s hand?
Anurag overhears them and feels empty inside but makes a stern face
Anurag: She can do whatever she wants we wont talk about her, I am going to london for the upcoming conference and business bid
Moloy nods
Moloy: Thats a good idea, you know the business bids, we always like to keep it in line with our competitors and i heard Mr Bajaj has his eyes on it too
Anurag: Every competitor is the same to me, even it is Mr Bajaj, we will win the bid for sure this time
[Bajaj Place]
Mr Bajaj: Prerna please have our suitcase ready we are going to London for business conference and a bid I need to win.
Prerna; Hmm Mr Bajaj I will keep it ready, oh and what about Kukki and Sneha
Mr Bajaj: I have appointed a caretaker and she will take care of both, it will be a four day trip, as soon as we finish the business deal we will be back home.
London
[At Hotel]
Receptionist: Mr and Mrs Bajaj we have your honeymoon suite ready.
Prerna looked at Mr Bajaj and pulled him aside with a little force. Mr Bajaj knew what was coming and could read anger in Prerna’s eyes.
Mr Bajaj: Prerna we will talk upstairs there is no need to create a scene here.
Prerna nods in disbelief
They are waiting for the elevator, they get in the elevator, it’s about to close the doors when they see a hand stop it. They are shocked to see who stopped the elevator; it's none other than Anurag Basu.
Anurag didn’t expect to see Prerna and Mr Bajaj in the elevator and was shocked and angry.
As they ride the elevator,
Anurag: Mr Bajaj, I would be aware of some people who just like to go after the wealthy..
Prerna is about to say something when their floor arrives and Mr Bajaj gestures her to get moving
Prerna thinks how things can take a turn in life. The only love of her life is now the enemy she never imagined would be.
Mr and Mrs Bajaj reach their suite and Prerna taunts
Prerna: Mr Bajaj a wonderful suite for our honeymoon right?! What are you thinking let’s be honest
Mr Bajaj: Prerna for your kind information this was the only room available, and for me to look best to my clients I had to book this suite. At no cost I want this deal lost.. understand Mrs Bajaj?
Prerna: Yes Mr Bajaj I get it, Incase you believed that I go after wealthy then
Mr Bajaj stops her right there ✋
Mr Bajaj: Mrs Bajaj now you are related to me and I don’t need to reiterate what Mr Basu said as to what I believe and not rest assured I wouldn’t have married you if that was the case
Prerna sighs heavily
Mr Bajaj: I have to leave for conference and catch up with a client prior to that, you make yourself comfortable.
As Mr Bajaj leaves, Prerna looks out the window to the beautiful London view and is lost in deep thought..
Kaise Tum ne mujhse
Meri khushiyon ko cheena hai
Mein kaise Sab bhula doongi
Tumhe uski saza doongi
Mitjao mein khud chahe
Tumhe ekdin mita doongi
Hai kasam dushmani ki
Kasautii Zindagii Kii
Conference
Host:
Welcome respected Businessman to the Annual Bid Conference each businessman will submit their Quotes and we will select the best price and service amidst competition. Good Luck May the Best Company wins!
Mr Basu submits his bid when called upon so does Mr Bajaj. The conference lasts for 4 hours wherein all the businessman meet and greet each other
Mr Bajaj and Mr Basu come face to face
Mr Bajaj: You know Mr Basu those that do not think shouldn’t indulge themselves into business
Mr Basu: Mr Bajaj true, those that cannot compete can stay away from business too.
Mr Bajaj slightly nods, and they get interrupted by the Host
Host: All Bids are competitive and All have done a Fabulous Job on the Pricing. But one wins the race, winner will be announced at Tonight’s Party.
Mr Bajaj goes to his suite to find Prerna sitting on the bed…
Prerna: Mr Bajaj so did you win?
Mr Bajaj: They will announce the winner in tonight's party..Mrs Bajaj you might want to prepare yourself for the party, Mr Basu is also going to be there.
Prerna: Mr Bajaj I know and I want him to lose.
Mr Bajaj: We will see Mrs Bajaj
Prerna: You don’t know Mr Bajaj how it feels when the only person whom you loved dearly betrays you…
Mr Bajaj: Mrs Bajaj you would want to consider revenge in that case
Prerna: Yes Mr Bajaj you are right, I realized that Mr Anurag Basu is nothing more than a businessman he did love me but never believed in our love. He bought a lie from the doctors and never bothered to believe me..
Mr Bajaj: Such is the world Mrs Bajaj, people use you and tend to throw you out from their lives like Mr Basu did to you, sad but true.
Prerna: Mr Bajaj would you teach me how to be strong and stand up for myself?
Mr Bajaj: Mrs Bajaj as I see you everyday you are sympathetic toward yourself, Don’t Be! And as far as me teaching you to be strong and independent you have to learn the business which is synonymous to life these days.
Prerna: I am all in Mr Bajaj..
Mr Bajaj: Good
Party
Mr and Mrs Bajaj enter the party, Mr Anurag Basu follows them with a sour look
Prerna has made up her mind and wants Anurag to suffer. She puts her hand into Mr Bajaj’s arm and greets everyone looking sideways to Anurag. Anurag smirks looking at Mr. and Mrs Bajaj.
There is dance on the floor and a couple invites Mr Bajaj to dance with his wife. After hesitating Mr and Mrs Bajaj join the dance floor.
Drinks are served and Anurag Basu is at the Bar helping himself with the drinks and looking at the dance floor at Prerna with her new husband..
Anurag cannot believe Prerna happily dancing with Mr Bajaj after the betrayal he faced thinking this woman is out of the world, she is really a gold digger.
Prerna looks confident with Mr Bajaj and doesn’t let her sad heart take over her emotions on face.
Dancing stops and Mr Bajaj and Mrs Bajaj help themselves to the drinks, second drink for Mrs Bajaj serves the bartender ( Anurag tips the bartender to slip a tablet into Mrs Bajaj drink)
Host: Attention Ladies and Gentlemen
It’s time to announce a Winner for the Bid
Mr Bajaj looks at Mr Basu and vice versa
Without any further delay,
Our one year contract goes to Mr Bajaj and company! Congratulations to Mr Bajaj
**claps**
Mr Bajaj walks to the stage and Prerna smiles as he speaks to the crowd.
Mr Bajaj: Thank you everyone, you all have been very kind and gracious, this is our night. Thank you once again!
Anurag Basu is super mad, storms out of the party.
Mr Bajaj and Mrs Bajaj return to their suite both drunk..
Honeymoon Suite Mr and Mrs Bajaj
Prerna feels dizzy and looks at Mr Bajaj thinking he is Anurag.. and starts crying
Mr Bajaj immediately sense the change in Mrs Bajaj.
Prerna: Anu.. ( holding Mr Bajaj hand) you don’t know how broken I am without you. All those were lies and Sneha is your blood your daughter, she is our symbol of love.
Mr Bajaj: looks at Prerna with high concern, he never felt concern for anyone, for couple minutes he thinks if he did was right with Prerna, he thinks it was right for him for this deal he made the docs change Sneha blood and took away Prerna from Anurag.
Mr Bajaj is deeply thinking…Prerna cuts his thoughts..
Leans towards him, he pushes his face a little upward, Prerna cuddles him thinking Anurag tears rolling down her eyes. Mr Bajaj looks into her eyes and they both engaged into eye lock. Mr Bajaj helps Prerna to the bed, leaving her hand but she grabs him again and says
Prerna: Anurag…Anu… I really really loved you… you should not have disbelieved me you know I would never cheat you..
Mr Bajaj sighs heavily, grabs Prerna’s hand and sits beside her laying down the bed. She takes his hand and puts her face on top of it and is dosed off..
Mr Bajaj looks at her and ponders on what he did, he thinks to himself this wasn’t the first time he went over the top to achieve a deal. But Prerna’s eyes like spoke to him and he was perplexed on looking at her.
He decides something and looks at Prerna with concern, let’s his hand underneath her face out and pulls the blanket on for her.
After changing Mr Bajaj lies down beside Prerna and looks at her still wondering, while sleep takes over his thoughts..
