@bold... Update coming in the next post

Hi everyone 😊,

I am so sorry for being late with the update, but this might be the longest update I have written for this story. And it was quite complicated too, as I had to think a lot for penning their emotions down. I also added some romantic moments as a lot of people requested... But I really enjoyed writing this, and I sincerely hope that you all will also enjoy reading it

Cheers 🤗

Part 6

The cake was cut and Prerna fed it to Kuki and her husband happily, then to her mother and siblings. Anurag looked at Rishabh and Prerna with extreme envy and pain. Prerna felt his stare on her, but she ignored it. After the cake cutting, it was time for dance. At this point Shanaya came towards Rishabh and asked him for a dance. Rishabh tried to decline politely indicating to his wife standing beside him, but she insisted.

‘Mr. Bajaj.. Mrs. Bajaj ke sath dance karne ke liye toh aapke pass puri zindagi padi hai… aaj thodasa waqt hume bhi de dijiye. And you know main is party me aur kisiki nahi janti… Please?’, she insisted. Finally Rishabh agreed hesitantly, and Prerna just glared at her back as she led her husband away from her on the dance floor. She watched with growing anger as Rishabh danced with that bi**h. Rishabh knew his wife was having her eyes on him and it made him grin internally. While Prerna was enviously watching her husband, she saw a hand forwarded in front of her asking for a dance. She looked up and found Anurag standing in front of her.

‘May I?’ he asked.

‘Anurag..’, she shook her head at him.

‘Come on Prerna.. For old times sake’, he insisted in front of all so she had to give in. Apparently Rishabh didn’t notice this, and only realised that his wife was dancing with Mr. Basu when they came to the dance floor.

Even though Prerna danced with Anurag, her eyes were only for her husband who was dancing with another woman. Rishabh too stole glances at her when she didn’t notice.

‘I can see tumhare husband ko tumhari kitni parwah hai’, Anurag taunted her with a smirk and she glared at him. ‘Ab bhi waqt hai Prerna, tumhe ab bhi tumhara pyar vapas mil sakta hai’.

‘Bakwas band karo Anurag...aur mere husband ke bare me kuch mat bolna’, she warned him.

‘Kyu? Sach sun kar bura lag raha hai? Dekho unhe Prerna..’, he said and she looked at Rishabh. ‘Unhe tumhari koi parwah nahi hai… unke liye tum sirf unki beti ki glorified nanni ho aur kuch nahi’, Anurag tried to brain wash Prerna.

Kuki who was standing between her Shivi massi and Anupam, gestured them that she wants her parents dancing together. Shivi and Anupam who noticed what was happening didn’t like it at all. They realised that the husband and wife need to be together, and decided to bring them together. So Shivi went to Rishabh and Anupam went to Prerna requesting for dance. For few moments they dance and got closer to each other. Finally Anupam twirled Prerna and she landed in her husbands arms, while Shivi immediately moved aside so that Rishabh could hold her.

Meri raahein tere tak hain

Tujhpe hi toh mera haq hai

Ishq mera tu beshaq hai

Tujhpe hi toh mera haq hai

Prerna felt the warmth of Rishabh’s arms around her and she smiled at him. He too gave her a light smile and they started to dance. But Rishabh was cautious not to make her uncomfortable, and maintained his distance even while dancing. He had noticed her dancing with Mr. Basu, and didn’t want her to feel forced at all.

Sath chhodunga na tere piche aaunga

Chheen lunga ya khuda se maang launga

Tere naal takdeeran likhwaaunga

Main tera ban jaunga

Main tera ban jaunga..

Prerna noticed his distance and was painfully reminded of Anurag’s words. Unhe tumhari koi parwah nahi hai.. Unke liye tum sirf unki beti ki ek glorified nanni ho au kuch nahi!. Rishabh twirled her and pulled her close, but still maintained the distance. It pained Prerna that he closeness was uncomfortable for him. Tears welled up in her eyes, which he noticed and was confused as hell.

‘Mrs Bajaj…’, but he couldn’t continue as tears fell down her eyes and he felt pangs of pain in his heart watching them. But he was unable to comprehend the reason of her tears. Did he do anything wrong? Or was it because she still wanted to be with Mr. Basu? ‘Prerna aap..’, he reached for her cheeks to wipe her tears, but she backed from him and walked away from the party hall. For a moment Rishabh was stunned with confusion before he decided to follow his wife.

She stood there by the tree in the garden and let silent tears fall down from her eyes. Rishabh reached and found her standing there placing a hand to the tree and her back towards him.

'Mrs. Bajaj', Rishabh called her gently. She quickly wiped the remains of tears from her cheek, which he didn't fail to notice.

'Mr. Bajaj', she said and he realised that something was terribly wrong. Not due to the unnerving calmness in her voice, but because she had called him " Mr. Bajaj ". She had not called him that since the day when that ritual was broken.

'Prerna aap aise..', he said but she didn't let him finish.

'Aap… aap Shanaya ke sath dance kyu kar rahe the?', she asked calmly, still not facing him.

'Excuse me?', he asked confused.

'Aap Miss Bose ke sath dance kyu kar rahe the Mr. Bajaj?', she asked and turned to face him, the question clearly visible on her face.

'Well… because she asked me. In fact, she insisted me, and I thought it would not be proper if I refused her in front of all the guests', he replied honestly.

'Aur.. Aur mere sath?', she asked looking directly in his eyes.

'Because Kuki chahti thi, and Shivani and Anupam brought us together', he replied with the facts.

'Ohh', she whispered and lowered her eyes. The sadness and disappointment clearly visible on her face which made him even more confused. 'And you looked quite comfortable with Shanaya', she probably mumbled it to herself but he heard her.

'Mrs. Bajaj aap aisa kyu bol rahi hai? I mean.. Aap bhi toh Mr. Basu ke sath dance kar rahi thi… maine toh aapko nahi roka!', he asked her.

'Wahi toh problem hai.. Ki aapne nahi roka..', she whispered back.

'Ji?', he asked bewildered and she faced him again.

'Haan main Anurag ke sath dance kar rahi thi, par sirf isliye because he almost forced me to do so.. Aur main nahi chahti thi ki party me koi drama ho… par aapko isse kya farak padta hai!', she accused calmly, but she failed to notice his hands fisting in fury as soon as he heard the word " forced ". 'Aap toh busy the Miss Shanaya Bose ke sath dance karne me! Aapka kahi aur dhyaan hi kaha tha?', she complained in a matter of fact tone.

'Mrs. Bajaj I danced with her because she recently joined us, and she could be a good asset to our company… I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable in the party…', Rishabh replied, trying to reason with her.

'Of course… It's my birthday, but you were more concerned about her… Sahi keh raha tha Anurag, you don't care, main hi paagal hu jo aapke bare me itna sochti hu', she said calmly but hurt and sadness dripped from her voice. She turned around facing away from him as she felt her eyes well up again. But Rishabh was furious to hear Anurag's name from her mouth. And the fact that she thought Mr. Basu's opinion about him was right angered him even further.

'Dekhiye Mrs. Bajaj, I don't understand ki aap kis baat se itni upset hai?', he asked in his usual stern and indifferent voice, masking his fury effectively. 'I mean I was just being a courteous host… aap bhi toh Mr. Basu ke sath ek host ka hi role nibha rahi thi na… then why does it matter to you if I danced with Shanaya?', he asked.

'It matters because I LOVE YOU', she shouted, turning to face him and he froze at his place. He was shocked beyond belief and she could see the shock on his face. It hurt her somewhere realising that he might not feel the same about her.

'I love you Rishabh…Bohot pyaar karne lagi hu aapse'. Although this was not the way she imagined confessing her love, but she decided to let everything out now. 'I know humari shaadi ek deal thi aur aap mujhe sirf Kuki ki maa banakar laye the ...and trust me, main bhi pehle bohot nafrat karti thi aapse… par jaise jaise aapko jaanne lagi, samajhne lagi, yeh ehsaas hota gaya ki shayad iss zindagi me aap hi ki kami thi…', she explained with a light smile. 'Aapki acchaiyon ne, aapki sacchayi aur saaf dil ne, mere dil me kab ghar kar liya mujhe pata hi nahi chala Rishabh'. He felt an inexplicable sense of joy hearing her honest and heartfelt confession. But the slight fear that was in his mind, wouldn't let him be happy fully.

'Really?', he asked simply and she nodded. 'And Mr. Basu?', he finally voiced out his uncertainty. Prerna sighed.

'Anurag! Jis Anurag ko maine chaha tha, wo toh kabka ja chuka hai Rishabh… aur iss Anurag ko main nahi janti. Haan ye sach hai ki maine kabhi usse pyaar kiya tha, par pyaar nibhana aapke sath reh kar jana hai…. Pyaar ka asli matlab maine aapke sath se samjha hai Rishabh… Main nahi janti ki meri wajah se uske sath jo hua wo sahi tha ya galat, aur shayad hum hamesha dost bhi rahenge… par main itna pure yakeen se bol sakti hu, ki mera dil aapko apna maan chuka hai, aur mera dil galat nahi ho sakta…I loved him, but I am In love with you', she said with certainty in her voice. Rishabh felt his heart swell with happiness. He felt like he could just scream to the whole world how happy he was. A smile started to creep up on his face when he heard her talk again.

'Lekin main janti hu ki yeh jazbaat sirf mere hai…aur aapke liye main Kuki ki maa se jyada aur kuch nahi hu', she said and he saw her tears thretening to fall from her eyes.

'Mrs. Bajaj aap…', he tried to say but she continued.

'Main janti hu ki aapke dil me aisa kuch nahi hai and I am completely fine with it… par bhi bura lagta hai, jab aap meri nazdiki se dur bhagte hai. Dard hota hai jab mere chhune se bhi aapko takleef hoti hai…', she said and looked up at him. He took a step towards her.

'Mrs. Bajaj aap meri baat..'

'Jante hai mujhe is baat se bura nahi laga ki aap Shanaya ke sath dance kar rahe the… dard toh iss baat se hua ki aap mere sath dance karte waqt comfortable nahi the… I know isme kahi na kahi galati meri hi hai kyunki maine hi aapse kaha tha mujhse dur rehne ke liye and I am really sorry for that… but… but ye jaan kar bohot bura lagta hai ki even my touch is so revolting to you… aur pata nahi main bhi kkya kya karke aapke kareeb aane ki koshish kar rahi thi', she said remembering their moments from earlier, when she dried his hair, and when she fell asleep beside him.

'Prerna main..'

'But trust me Rishabh.. Main.. Main apne aap ko, aap par force nahi karna chahti thi. Bas aapke pyaar ki wajah se aapke pass rehna chahti thi….. But don't worry, agar mera kareeb hona aapke liye itna uncomfortable hai, toh main aage se aapse dur rahungi…', she said and closed her eyes making a tear run down her cheek. Rishabh felt a stung at his heart watching that tear.

'Bas ek baat kehna chahti hu main aapse Rishabh…', she said opening her eyes and looking directly at him. He just nodded. 'I know past me aapko pyaar me dhokha mila hai, aur isiliye aapne apne dil ke asspass ek deewar bana li hai.. Aur ye bhi janti hu ki isi wajah se aap kisi par itni asani se vishwas nahi karte… Main bas aapko yeh batana chahti hu ki main aapko dhokha nahi dungi… Isiliye nahi kyunki humari deal me aapne mujhse meri loyalty mangi thi, ...balki isliye kyunki dhokha diya, toh apne aap ko aabse bada dhokha dungi. Main intezaar karungi us din ka, jab aap mujh par pura bharosa kar sake… I really love you Rishabh..par wo mera problem hai.. Aapko uncomfortable feel karne ki koi jarurat nahi hai', she said shaking her head slightly in a no, as if explaining to a child.

She gave him a watery smile and started to leave from there. A few steps later she stopped as his fingers wrapped around her wrist. And the next moment she felt a strong jerk and found herself grabbed by him by her shoulders. She gasped loudly, not only due to the sudden movement, but due to the angry look in his eyes.

'Mr. Bajaj aap ye kya..', but he didn't let her finish and backed her up at the tree. She gasped. 'Rishabh..'

'Sshhh..', Rishabh put a finger on her lips making her shut up. 'Bohot bolti hai aap…', and he just held her neck, made her look up and closed the distance between their lips.

At first Prerna was shocked at his sudden kiss, but once the initial shock wore off, she started to respond. The kiss was soft and gentle at first, but then it turned wild and more passionate as both of them poured their help up emotions in it. Her hands went around his neck and in his hair, while he held her waist by the other hand to give her support. Prerna wished that the time should stop and Rishabh just wanted to relish the feel of his wife in his arms. Both of them wanted to show the other, how much they yearned for each other. And Prerna knew in that moment that her heart was right, and he really has feelings for her. They broke the kiss for the want of air and Rishabh looked at Prerna who had her eyes closed.

'Pyaar karti hai na mujhse?', he asked simply. She opened her eyes to look into his and nodded. 'Toh meri khamoshi ko meri berukhi kaise samajh liya aapne??', he asked her like a strict teacher. She opened her mouth trying to say something, but words failed her and she closed her mouth helplessly.

'Yeh to dekh liya ki main aapse dur rehne ki koshish karta tha,.. Yeh nahi dekh payi ki meri nazarein hamesha aap par hoti thi?? Yeh to mehsoos kar liya ki aapke pass hone se I was uncomfortable.. Lekin aapke kareeb aane se meri badhti hu dhadkanon ko mehaoos nahi kar payi Mrs. Bajaj!!?', he asked and she just looked at him with an apologetic expression on her face.

'Rishabh main..'

'Sshh..', he again put a finger on her lips to make her mum. 'Maine kaha na, bohot bol liya aapne aaj.. Ab aap sirf sunengi…. Haan main aapse dur rehne ki koshish karta tha. Par isliye nahi ki mujhe aap par bharosa nahi tha, balki isliye kyunki mujhe khud par bharosa nahi tha… Har baar jab aap mere nazdeek aati thi, mera mann karta tha ki bas aapko yahi rok lu, apne pass, apni baahon me… but main nahi chahta tha ki main kuch aisa kar du jisse aap hurt ho… isliye aapse duri banaye rakhta tha', he told her looking into her eyes. She could see the honesty in them. He then chuckled a bit and she was confused.

'Aap kehti hai ki aap mera intezaar karengi… par sach toh yeh hai Mrs. Bajaj ki main khud nahi janta ki main kabse aapka intezaar kar raha tha!!… intezaar kar raha tha is pal ka, jab aap apne dil ki baat mujhse kehti… intezaar kar raha tha ki shayad yeh sapna bhi kabhi pura hoga aur aap mujhse kahengi ki aap bhi mujhse pyaar karti hai…'. He cupped her face in his hands and she looked at him in wonder.

'Because I love you Mrs. Bajaj', he finally confessed and she felt like she was on cloud nine. 'I love you so much that I feel and I know that I am incomplete without you. Aap mere liye sirf Kuki ki maa nahi hai, par woh ladki hai jisne mere dil ke asspass ke patthar ko pighla diya. Jisne mujhe yeh ehsaas dilaya ki pyaar sirf dard nahi, khushiyaan bhi de sakta hai.. Aur wo kitna khubsurat hota hai! Aapke bina main adhoora hu Prerna. Aap meri biwi hai. Aap mere liye sirf Prerna nahi, Mrs. Prerna Rishabh Bajaj hai', he finished and the next instant, he felt her crash into his chest wrapping her arms around him tightly. He grinned and hugged her back.

'I love you Rishabh'

'I love you too Mrs. Bajaj'.

They stayed like that in each other's arms for sometime. Silently feeling each other's presence, but then Rishabh broke the silence.

'Mrs. Bajaj'

'Hmm?'

'Shayad aap bhul rahi hai.. Par aapki birthday party ab bhi chal rahi hai.. Aur sab log humara intezaar kar rahe honge', he said with a smirk. She broke the hug and slapped a hand at her forehead.

'Main toh bhul hi gayi thi Rishabh!', she exclaimed and started to neat her appearance. He followed suit and adjusted his hair.

'Chaliye', she said holding his hand and leading him to the party hall. He didn't feel angry that she was bossing over him and just let her lead him with a smile.

Once they entered the hall, hand in hand, everyone acknowledged the couple's presence and continued enjoying the music and food.

'By the way Mrs. Bajaj..', Prerna looked at her husband who continued. 'We both owe each other a dance. And this time koi Shayana ya Anurag hunare bich nahi ayega.. So may I?', Rishabh forwarded a hand to ask for a dance. She put her hand in his with a smile and they went towards the dance floor.

They glided on the dance floor, this time effortlessly. They moved and flowed together as if they were not two, but one. And they were both lost in their own world of love that they finally found today. People watched them with awe and admiration, and no one could say that were staying just as formal partner till now. Anurag fumed with anger.

Finally the song ended and they stopped moving, still standing in each other’s arms. But then Rishabh did something that not only surprised Prerna, but also made everyone present there realise that she was his. He leaned forward and put a light kiss on her cheek in front of all the guests, making it clear that she was his.

‘Happy Birthday Mrs. Bajaj’, he grinned at her and she smiled back at him with a beautiful blush.
