Chapter One...
A hand came around her waist. She felt his lips on her cheecks.
"Mr. Bajaj," Prerna admonished, "What are you doing?"
She felt his lips curve before he said, "I'm just stealing few moments with my wife before the kids come in and disturb us. I have missed you so much."
"I missed you so much too. Do you know how hard it was for me to be away from you? I did not know how I survived all those years in jail..."
The sound of door opening caused both of them to break from the embrace...
The squeak of the door as it opened caused Prerna to wake up from her dream that she was having. As usual it did not differ from her usual dream of where she got out of jail and she was in Mr. Bajaj's arm. It was a sweet reprive from the dreary day in the jail and she dreaded every morning because that meant getting away from her fantasy in the night. It was the only way for her to hold on to sanity.
Lord knew she thought about Mr. Bajaj all the time. Flashes came to her from all the aspect of their life together and gave her strength to carry on one more day. Sometimes she thought about her babies and how they were doing. She bet that Tushar and Dorris had one or two babies running around the house. The image of Bajaj as he gave his grandkids a piggyback ride never failed to make her smile. She hoped that Sneha had learned to let things go and live happily with herself and what she had done. Prem also invaded her thoughts sometimes, but thoughts of him caused her to be weepy or angry, but she loved that kid. She hoped that Mukti had come back and they had made up because they were made for each other. Anu came to her thoughts, but it was with a happy sigh about how much they had learned from each other. She hoped that Anu and Sam were happy with each other because Anu deserved the happiness that she had with Bajaj after all that happened in his life. Sam, she knew, was the right woman for Anu because she was so understanding. She bet that Romeo was in love with Sam by now.
Those were the thoughts that she had when she was happy, but when she was sad, Prerna thought about how no one had come to visit her. Did she not matter to them? With that came anger and heartbreak about how Mr. Bajaj had turned away from her. That thought always made her think about she did not matter to them, when they meant the whole world to her. Even though it was not fair, she sometimes thought about how Sam and Anu also had not come to visit her. Did they ever think about how lonely she might be here? Did Bajaj ever dream of her like she dreamt of him?
The sounds of footstep tore Prerna away from her thoughts. It was one of the police officer. With him were two more police officers, Prerna's had contracted as she thought about why them might might be here. Let it not be because anything happened to my family, she silently prayed.
"Good morning sir," Prerna said out loud. "What brings you here to my cell? Kuch bad news to nahi, na?" The police erased a little bit of fear when he broke into a smile. He looked more human when he smiled, Prerna thought.
"No, Mrs. Bajaj," he replied. "I'm Officer Khan and these are Officers Malhotra and Sharma behind me. We just wanted to let you know that your parole has gone through and that this is your last day here."
The news was so different from what she was preparing to hear that she did something had Prerna thought over it, she would have never done. She ran to Khan arm and enfolged him in a deep hug. Then common sense came back, she pulled herself from his arms. Prerna could feel her face starting to heat up.
"Muje maaf kardiye ji," Prerna stammered out, "ye kya he ki, this is very different new then I thought it was."
"Kuch nahi hay, Mrs. Bajaj," Officer Khan said with a smile. "Mein bhi haapy hoin. I would've done the same too. Well, hope you are happy and now we have to go back." Then, he and the two officers went out of the cell and closed the door.
Normally, that would have brought a bout of depression, but today, nothing could bring her down. She could not wait to be back in her home with Mr. Bajaj and the kids. Prerna had so much things that she wanted to do so she took the one notebook and started making the list.
