Chapter 5
(Imagine Chahat Khanna as Ayesha)
"Don't cry baby, we are coming home." Ayesha said and Prerna turned towards her.
"Stay. The. Hell. Away. From. Them." Prerna suddenly growled as Ayesha cut the call, surprising her.
"Excuse me?" She chuckled and Prerna looked at her with fire spitting from her eyes.
"I said, stay the hell away from Mr Bajaj and Kuki." She said and Ayesha rolled her eyes.
"Oh, so you are on one of Rishabh's admirers. Nice." She laughed and shook her head, before leaving the washroom.
Prerna's mouth hung open and she quickly followed the long-legged woman outside. She found her sipping on a chute of champagne three minutes later and grabbed her arm, pulling her behind a marble pole.
"Don't you dare to imagine a life as Mrs Bajaj." Prerna threatened. "That's my title."
Ayesha tried to stifle a laugh.
Who was this woman so threatened by her and why was she thinking that she was trying to be Rishabh's wife? Ew?
She looked like one of the women who fawned over his charms and Ayesha decided to play along; she hadn't had some nice fun in a few months.
"Whatever floats your boat. But between you and me, I'll be the one going home with him tonight." Ayesha smirked and Prerna's face went red with rage.
"I swear to God if you make a move-
"I won 't, I promise. He will ask me." Ayesha shrugged and took a long sip. "Just see."
"I will kill you-
"Try it, and you'll see Rishabh wreck havoc. No one messes with his family." Ayesha smiled sweetly and Prerna's green monster was ready to take on the world.
"Ayesha." Rishabh's voice found them and he saw his friend talking to someone behind the thick marble pole.
"Yes Rishabh?" Ayesha looked at him and he gestured at his watch.
"Let's go home?" He said and Prerna gasped, not believing her ears.
"Sure." Ayesha nodded. "Your place or mine?"
"Of course my place! What are you drinking?" He sighed and she chuckled, her fake laugh which amused him every time. "Please."
"Coming honey." She said and poured the remaining champagne in the nearby potted plant.
Prerna stood like a statue as Ayesha, put her arm with Mr Bajaj and left. Her body shook with vibration and she quickly followed them, only to be stopped by Anurag.
--
"Who the f*ck does she think she was?" Ayesha grumbled and Rishabh frowned.
"Who?" He asked and his friend shook her head.
"Some random woman came up to me and started threatening me!" She laughed albeit angrily.
"What?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, she was all like stay the hell away from Mr Bajaj and I will kill you. Should I get a restraining order? I really-
"Who was she-
"Probably some damsel who wants you-
"No, tell me who she was." Rishabh said in rage and Ayesha sighed.
"Let it go-
"No, tell me." He said and she bit her lip.
"See, I don't want you to go and destroy her life and whatever. So, can we go home-
"Ayesha, tell me-
"Fine, that woman in that navy blue dress, talking to that tall guy." She pointed at Prerna and Rishabh face went in shock. "Can we go now?"
"Prerna?" He frowned and Ayesha's eyes went wide.
"Prerna? She's Prerna? Your ex-wife?" She mumbled and he nodded. "Oh my God this changes everything!"
"Huh?" He said confused and she nodded.
"Oh...you know what she said and I quote, Don't you dare to imagine a life as Mrs Bajaj. That's my title. Unquote." She laughed. "What does she mean by that?"
"I don't know-
"Wasn't she getting married to her-
"Yes, she is-
"So why did she-
"God I hope she wasn't serious!" Rishabh said in a frustrated tone as he realized something.
"About what?" Ayesha asked him and he cleared his throat.
"This morning, she learned about Menka and the...custody and she, I mean, Prerna, offered me a proposal." He said and Ayesha expected him to continue. "She asked me to marry her."
"What!" Ayesha almost screamed but thankfully they were out of anyone's hearing vicinity. "She proposed to you-
"For Sneha." He said and proceeded to tell her everything happened in the day.
"Are you dumb? Or are you very dumb?" Ayesha crossed her arms and shook her head as he finished.
"Excuse me-
"Why do you think she proposed to you Rishabh?" She asked and he leaned on the car.
"For Sneha, obviously-
"No dumbhead! The way she was talking to me, it was as if she would eat me alive! She was possessive about you tonight. Her face was red, her body was shaking and her mouth was spewing poison for me!" Ayesha chuckled. "This is amazing!"
"What-
"Yes darling! Just think about it, her wedding with her soulmate is a week away and she comes to your place, sees your very pretty ex-wife and boom, proposes to you out of the blue! And then, she comes here with her fiance, sees me with you, and lo behold, her talons come out and she threatens me with my life-
"Prerna is nothing like that-
"You don't know anything about a jealous woman Mr Rishabh Bajaj." Ayesha smiled. "You are lucky, she really loves yo-
"She does not." Rishabh shook his head and Ayesha nodded.
"Fine. Let me prove it to you that she is possessive about you." She said and took a step towards him. "Hug me and grab my ass."
"Ayesha, why are you always saying this?" He sighed and she giggled.
"Because I love to make your female admirers jealous!" She giggled. "And don't say this is weird Ayuu because we have done it tons of time in college so that random girls don't pounce on you, remember?"
"I have no idea how you came to be a top lawyer." He sighed.
"Shhhh." She whispered and hugged him tightly, grabbing his arms and putting them on her back.
"This is not going to work Ayesha. Prerna is busy talking to her...Mr Basu." Rishabh said but hugged his friend nonetheless. He needed the emotional support badly.
"If that is so, why is she coming at us. Oh my her eyes, God save you she's angry as fu-
"Mr Bajaj!" Prerna's screamed made Ayesha's words drown in her anger almost immediately. "What the hell do you think you are doing!"
