Part 2A

It had been a week since Rishabh had moved to London with Kukki, Masi and Tanvi. They had all noticed the change in his behaviour. He was lost, he barely spoke any words. He would just sit in his study and come out only during meal times. He would put Kukki to sleep every night and mostly he slept with her, he told Masi that he feared Kukki would again start getting nightmares, but the truth was that he was he was scared to sleep alone. He was afraid that Prerna’s absence would haunt him at night because for the last few weeks they were sharing the same room. He had gotten used to her presence in their room. He was scared to walk into his room because he would miss Prerna. It was a stupid thought because she had never been to this place, but he also wondered how would she react to this house ! That’s why he would spend his entire day in the study and sleep in Kukki’s room at night.

But tonight he was having a hard time falling asleep. He kept thinking about Prerna the entire day. Had she started preparing for her wedding with Anurag already? Was she happy now? Did she miss them? These thoughts kept running through his mind the entire day. After putting Kukki to sleep he came to his study and grabbed a bottle of scotch and a glass, he was seated outside in the vardana drinking his scotch when he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see his Masi there. He gave her a weak smile and kept his glass aside

‘Rishabh, Yeh kya haal bana liya hai beta?? Kya hogaya hai tumhe? Din bhar apni study main qaid rehte ho, raat ko Kukki ko apne paas iss tarah se pakad ke sote ho jaise ki tumhe darr hai ki vo tumhe chod ke chali jayegi, kya hua hai tumhe? Itne bechain kyun ho?’

He looked away from her and shut his eyes in pain. Could he tell her the truth? That he missed Prerna. Terribly! She was like a mother to him, she loved him like her own son. Could his find solace in her arms?? He let out a sigh and stood, he hugged her tightly, surprising Masi, she wrapped her arms around his back and slightly rubbed it, she was worried for him now

‘Kya hua Beta??’

She asked softly and suddenly she felt him shake in the hug. He was crying.

‘Rishabh’

She called him out once again and broke the hug. He looked in her eyes and spoke softly

‘I miss her Masi… Prerna… uski bohut yaad aati hai.’

Masi caressed his face and asked him to sit on the bench. She placed her hand in his and asked him to share everything he had on his mind with her.

‘Maine unke saath deal ki thi vo mujhse shadi karengi toh main Anurag ko jail se chudha lunga aur aage se kabhi unhe kisi ilzaam main nahi phasne dunga. She loved him so much that she sacrificed her life and happiness for him. Main sirf unhe Kukki ki mom banana chahta tha, lekin pata hi nahi chala kab unse pyaar hogaya. Par vo khush nahi thi masi, uss din Durga Puja ki raat. Unhone kaha ki iss rishte main unhe ghutan ho rahi hai. Issliye Maine unhe deal ko bhul kar chose karne ke liye kaha, and she chose to stay with him. Uss waqt mujhe laga ki vahi theek hoga sab ke liye. Kukki ko itne waqt ke baad Maa ka pyaar mil raha tha par maine usske bare mein bhi nahi socha sirf Prerna ki khushi ka socha… abh Shayaad vo khush hai par Mujhe hurt feel ho raha hai!! Prerna ki kami khal rahi hai …’

Saying so he put his head on her lap and stretched his legs on the bench, Sharda was taken aback by his action but she started stroking his hair and consoled him. She didn’t know that Rishabh felt so strongly for Prerna, she had this indication that Rishabh’s perspective about Prerna had changed after the accident that happened on Kukki’s birthday but now she knew that he loved her so deeply that he let go of her just for her happiness.

After a few minutes Rishabh composed himself and went to Kukki’s room to sleep. When Masi came back to her room she saw Tanvi over there, Tanvi rushed to her and started gushing about how she was planning to make some special food for Rishabh the next day to cheer him up and make him feel happy. She had to start buttering him to take Prerna’s place in his life. Masi suddenly felt angry listening to her words and slapped her even before she realised what she was doing. Tanvi was stunned by her mom’s action.

‘Himmat kaise hui tumhari? Yeh baat sochne ki. Tum Rishabh ki zindagi main Prerna ki jagah kabhi nahi le sakti, in fact koi bhi Prerna ki jagah nahi le sakta hai. Humara hi dimag kharab hogaya tha jo aisa khayal tumhare maan main dala humne. Rishabh tumhe apni cousin se zyada aur kuch nahi manta hai. Accha hoga ki tum bhi apne khayal badal lo. Hum kal hi Rishabh se baat karenge ki tumhare Fashion Designing ke Course ke liye tumhe Paris bhej de, aapne aage ki padhai tum wahan se kar lena, isse tumhare Mann main jo khayal hai vo bhi badal jayenge waqt ke saath!’

She was about to lie on the bed when Rishabh knocked at their door. He looked terrible, Tanvi and Masi immediately rushed to him and asked him what was wrong. Their first thought was about Kukki but they saw her standing next to him, in half sleep.

‘Masi… aap Kukki ko please aapne paas sula lijiye, main next flight se India ja raha hun!’

‘Lekin achanak kyun?? Kya hua??’

‘Main wapas aake sab batata hun, please aap Kukki ka khayal rakhiye! ‘

He tugged Kukki in bed and rushed to his room, he briskly packed a few essentials, Mehra had already booked him a ticket on the next flight to India which was to depart in the next two hours, he could make it to the airport in an hour and be there on time for his flight. He knew that it would be a long and anxious flight to India.

——

*City Hospital - Kolkata*

Rishabh went to the reception where he met Mehra who escorted him to the ICU ward. Rishabh clenched his fist in anger at the site in front of him. His blood was boiling in rage, all he wanted to do was to punish the person responsible for this. Prerna lay there on the bed inside the ICU room with an oxygen mask on her face and various wires attached to her body.

‘Excuse me, aap ICU room main nahi aa sakte iss time. Kisi ko bhi visiting hours ke baad aana allowed nahi hai!’

One of the nurses' said looking at Rishabh, he shot her a dead glare and spoke

‘Main inka husband hun, inhe iss haal main akele nahi chod sakta main..’

Another elderly nurse who was present in the room , looked at him and Prerna simultaneously, she then walked to him in anger

‘Pati ho isske? Sharam nahi aati tumhe? Apni patni ko pregnancy ke halat main aise rishtedaron ke saath chod diya jinhonne usspe haath uthaya! ‘

Rishabh was stunned by her words. Prerna was beaten by the family she was staying with, Basu's, they were responsible for her this condition?

‘.. Aur usse itna mara ki bechari ne apna baccha Kho diya!!’

The words hit him hard as if someone had slapped him tightly across his cheek. Prerna had suffered a miscarriage! He shut his eyes in pain and clenched his fist so hard that his fingernails were now biting in his skin. He opened his eyes and the nurse took a step back when she saw the fierce in them.

Rishabh summoned Mehra and asked for the entire details of what had happened....

*The Previous Day*

The next day of Rishabh and his family’s departure Anurag had started planning for his and Prerna’s wedding, everyone was really happy but Prerna didn’t want to rush things because she was not officially divorced to Rishabh but Anurag assured her that he would handle everything. He had asked his lawyer to prepare their divorce papers which were going to take a week’s time to be ready. The family had decided to go ahead with their engagement till then, which was to happen yesterday, on the last day of Durga Puja, but before the Puja Prerna had fallen unconscious and when the doctor checked her everyone got the news about her pregnancy.

‘Durga !! Durga!! Mohini Bodhi, aapki bahu toh biwi bane se pehle hi Maa bane ja rahi hai. Kahin yeh uss Bajaj ka bacha toh nahi? Prerna ki aur uski shadi ko kam se kam ek mahina toh ho hi gaya hoga na?? ‘

Mohini glared at Kumud and she shrugged her shoulders! But Mohini had the same doubt in her mind, she knew that it was possible. After all the two of them did share one room while they stayed at Basu Badi. She walked to Anurag who had a blank expression on his face. She placed her hand on his shoulder in order to get his attention

‘Mujhe Prerna se baat karni hai…’

He walked towards Prerna’s room and others followed him. She had gained conscious by now and was about to go downstairs when everyone walked in her room, she noticed the expressions on everyone’s face. Anurag and his family, her family, they all looked like they were in shock.

‘Priyu, Tu Maa bane wali hai ??’

Her mother asked her and Prerna felt the colour from her face draining. She wanted to share the news about her being pregnant with Anurag’s child but she wanted to share it with everyone after their engagement.

‘Haan Maa… main…’

Before she could complete her sentence her mother had slapped her hard across her face, Prerna was shocked by her action

‘Hume laga tha ki tum Bajaj ke saath shadi main sirf deal ke wajah bandhi thi… lekin tum… tumhe apni beti kehne main sharam aa rahi hai.. tum Anurag ke saath aisa kaise kar sakti ho??’

Her mother asked her angrily. Prerna was stunned to listen to her words! Her mother was accusing her of cheating on Anurag, she assumed that it was Rishabh’s child!! How could her mother do that to her??

‘Maa, aap kya bol rahe ho?? Yeh baccha Mr. Bajaj ka nahi..Anurag ka hai!!’

Prerna tried to clear the misunderstanding, she looked at Anurag who looked at her blankly, she knotted her eyebrows in confusion, she walked to him

‘Anurag… tumhe yaad hai, uss raat jab humne mandir main shadi ki thi... uske baad humne jungle main raat guzari thi, ussi raat hum ek hue the !! Tumhe yaad hai na??’

She grabbed him by his shoulder and shook him, why was he standing like this? Why wasn’t he saying something, she kept shaking him until Mohini caught her hand, she forcefully turned Prerna in her direction and she slapped her!

‘Himmat kaise hui tumhari uss Bajaj ke gande khoon ko mere Anu ke naam se jodhne ki?? Kya lagta hai tumhe? Tum jo kahogi hum maan lenge!! Mera Anu kabhi aisa nahi kar sakta, tumse shadi kiye bina vo tumse koi sambandh nahi bana sakta, mandir main jo tumhari so called shadi hui thi, usse tumhare siva aur koi bhi jayaz nahi manta! Anurag bhi nahi…. Accha theek hai chalo, main ek baar ko maan bhi lun ki yeh mere Anu ka baccha hai, toh phir yeh batao ki kya Bajaj ko iss bare main pata tha??’

‘Haan kaki maa, unhe pata tha aur…’

‘Waah!! Toh tumhare kehne ka matlab hai ki yeh jane ke baad bhi ke tum Anu ke bacche ki Maa bane wali ho Bajaj ne tumse shadi ki thi? Kisi aur ke bache ko vo apna naam dene ke liye taiyaar tha?! It’s impossible Prerna, tumhare kahani pe humse se kisi ko yakeen nahi hai!!’

Prerna looked at all of them helplessly, why was nobody ready to believe her? How could they believe that she had moved on with Rishabh? She had told them the entire truth about their marriage, the deal she made with him to protect Anurag and what all she had done for him and his family! Yet they were accusing her of cheating on him? And why was Anurag so quiet? Why wasn’t he saying anything? She went to him once again and shook him rigorously

‘Anurag tum toh kuch bolo! Batao sab ko ke uss raat humne sirf shadi hi nahi ki thi uss rishte ko aage bhi badhaya tha humne!! Bolo na Anurag! Tum jante ho na ki main tumhe dhoka nahi de sakti, main kabhi tumhe cheat nahi kar sakti. Tum toh mante ho na yeh tumhara baccha hai, kaho na sab se .. yeh…’

She kept pleading him but he jerked her hand in anger and walked two steps back. Leaving her in utter shock

‘Tum aisa kaise kar sakti ho Prerna? KAISE??’

Prerna just looked at him, like everyone else, even he was doubting her? Didn’t he remember anything about that night? Or was he too ashamed to admit it?

‘Anurag, tum yeh kya keh rahe ho? Kyun bol rahe ho aisa? Tumhe yaad nahi uss raat humare beech…’

‘Enough!!’ Mohini said and walked to her, she grabbed Prerna by her upper arm and dragged her outside the room

‘Bohut hogaya abh, mere bete ke bare main aur kuch nahi sunungi main, aur na hi tumhe uss Bajaj ke bacche ko humara naam dene dungi! Nikal jao mere ghar se !!’

Prerna kept screaming Anurag’s name as Mohini dragged her out of Basu badi, she looked at her own family who gave her disgusted looks! How could everyone do this to her? They all knew her so well yet no one was ready to believe her, she kept weeping and begging but no one moved from their spot, they all stood in the middle of the room when Mohini pushed her outside the door with such a force that Prerna fell on the floor on her stomach, she yelled in pain but Mohini shut the door on her face! The next minute she was engulfed by darkness

*Present*

‘Ma’am ne mujhe subah call kiya tha, unhe mujhe koi file handover karni thi main vahi lene gaya tha, jab wahan pohuncha toh ma’am mujhe unke darvaze ke bahar behosh mili, unka kafi blood loss bhi ho chuka tha toh maine immediately ambulance ko phone kiya aur tab tak Basu’s ke servant se sari baat pata ki. Kal raat unhe main yahan leke aaya tha aur aapko maine call kiya, kal unki halat bohut kamzoor thi issliye aaj subah hi unka operation hua hai aur kuch waqt pehle hi unhe iss room main shift kiya hai.. I am so sorry Sir.. main zyada kuch nahi kar saka!!’

Mehra said and looked down at the floor, he couldn’t meet eyes with Rishabh right now.

Rishabh had never felt so angry in his life before today. He wanted to walk into Basu badi and destroy the entire house and beat the hell out of the people who were residing there. How dare they hit his Prerna?? How dare they accuse her and question her character? They were responsible for the death of her child. He wanted to punish them all for doing this to her.

‘Thank you so much Mr. Mehra, mere absence main Prerna ka itna dhyaan rakhne ke liye… aap…’

Rishabh was about to say something else to Mehra when the nurse called out for the doctor saying that Prerna had started gaining conscious ! He rushed to her

‘Prerna…’ he whispered her name softly, She opened her eyes and blinked a few times trying to adjust to the bright lighting of the room. She winced as she tried to move her hand.

‘Aaram se.. aapko kafi chot lagi hai..’

She turned her head with great difficulty to look at him and immediately her eyes welled up! She started crying quietly, Rishabh wiped her tears and shook his head negatively, signaling her to not cry.

‘It’s okay! Main aagaya Hun na! Sab theek kar dunga… I know what happened.. trust me, I’ll fix everything!!’

He assured her and started stroking her hair softly, the doctor came and asked Rishabh to wait outside. He kept pacing outside the room anxiously, till the doctor came and assured him that Prerna was better now and they were going to shift her to another room, Rishabh asked them to shift her to the best room they had, he thanked Mehra for his helped and asked him to leave.

While Rishabh was completing all the formalities of the hospital they had shifted Prerna to the best private room that was available. It was no less than a five star hotel room, Rishabh walked in the room quietly assuming that Prerna must be sleeping but he was surprised when he saw her awake. She looked so fragile right now. His heart ached to see her like this, slowly he walked over to her and sat on a chair next to her bed. Hesitantly he placed his hand over hers making her look at him. She caught his hand and gently tugged it, she shifted slightly on the bed and signalled him to join her. Rishabh was nervous that he would hurt her or pull one of the vitals that were attached to her but she looked the way she was looking at him expectantly, he couldn’t deny her. He carefully sat on the bed and Prerna rested her head on his shoulder. Subconsciously, Rishabh started stroking her hair, they sat like that for a few minutes and then Prerna broke the silence

‘Aap wapas aa gaye??’

‘Aapko meri zaroorat thi… main kaise nahi aata??’

‘Kisi ne mujh pe yakeen nahi kiya… Maa aur Anurag ne bhi nahi… sab ne mujh par sawal uthaye… kaha ki maine Anurag ko dhoka diya… aur aapke baache ke naam ke saath uska naam jodne ki koshish kar rahi thi main…’

He felt her tears through his shirt and he understood that she was crying, he continued stroking her hair. Prerna placed her hand on her belly and peaked at him

‘Mera baccha…. cheen liya… maar diya usse….’

She said in between her sobs, Rishabh placed a feather kiss on top of her head and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, he pulled her closer to him and she fisted his shirt in her hand, she hid her face in his chest, her sobs had become louder, Rishabh knew that it was not good for her health if she cried so much but he also knew that she had to get all this pain out of her system, he kept rubbing her arm trying to console her. Soon enough she slept, the drug dose of the medicines and her crying had exhausted her. Once he was sure that she was in deep sleep Rishabh tried to remove his shirt from her hold and lay her on the bed comfortably but Prerna’s hold was too tight for him to be able to remove his shirt from her fist without waking her up! He sighed and decided to sleep with her in the same bed, he slowly lifted his feet and stretched them on the bed, he covered Prerna properly with the blanket and reached for the side button on the bed, he adjusted the bed in a better position for them to sleep. He placed another soft kiss on her forehead and pulled her closer to him. He kept looking at the celing, wondering how could he make the Basu’s pay for their deed.

Part 2B

Prerna woke up with a slight headache, she opened her eyes and saw that it was still dawn, She tried to get up but Rishabh’s hold around her was stopping her from doing so. He was there for her, he had come back for her. She had come to know from one of the nurses that Mr. Mehra had got her admitted to the hospital, so she assumed that he must have called Rishabh as well. She lifted her left arm to touch his face but winced because of the IV that was attached to her, Rishabh immediately woke up and looked at her in worry

‘Are you okay? Dard ho raha hai? Main doctor ko bulata hun…’

‘Nahi. I am fine. Bas vo haath main thoda dard hai IV ke wajah se…’

‘Oh’ Rishabh sighed and again reached for the side button of the bed, he adjusted the bed in a semi-sitting position. He slowly unwrapped his arm from Prerna’s shoulder and was about to get out of the bed when Prerna stopped him

‘Mat uthiye na… mujhe aise accha feel ho raha hai!!’

She said in a soft voice that melted Rishabh’s heart. He nodded and again sat on the bed, she placed her head on his chest and he kept patting her head, they both were trying to find solace in each other’s arms and the silence that surrounded them in the moment. Prerna slid her left hand in his right palm, but Rishabh was scared to clasp it, worried that his long fingers might touch the IV and hurt her, as if she had read his mind Prerna looked up at him through her eye lashes and blinked them in assurance, Rishabh gently clasped her hand and rested his head on top of hers.

‘Kukki kaisi hai??’

Prerna asked him in a low voice, she felt ashamed for putting Kukki through so much pain.

‘She is fine. Aapko bohut miss karti hai….’

Her hold on his hand became tight, Rishabh understood that she must be feeling guilty

‘Its okay! You don’t have to be guilty! Maine aapse kaha tha na vo meri beti hai.. she is very mature. Usse pata hai ki kya sahi hai kya galat… aur vo aapko galat nahi samajh sakti Prerna… she loves you… and she wants you to be happy! Aapko laga tha ki aap jo decision le rahi hain Shayaad vo sahi hai… aapki khushi uss decision se judi thi ….!’

He cupped her face and made her look at him

‘But Prerna… pechle ek mahine main vo aapki bhi beti ban gai hai… aur main janta hun ki vo aapke hi tarah logon ke khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai… Kukki ne jate waqt bhi aapse kaha tha ki vo sirf aapko khush dekhna chahti hai… so please don’t be guilty for trying to choose your happiness…’

Prerna’s eyes had started to tear up after listening to his words.

‘Lekin maine phir se ek galat decision liya… jiske wajah se iss baar aapko aur Kukki ko bhi hurt kiya maine…’

She said innocently, Rishabh gave her a small smile and kissed her forehead

‘Koi nahi.. insaan galat decision se hi toh sahi sabak seekhta hai na??’

Prerna looked at him in awe. He would always say the right things at the right time. How did he manage to do so she wondered?

‘Aur mujhe bhi isse ek baat pata chali hai… ki aage se humari life ke koi bhi important decision main aapko nahi lene dunga…’

Prerna’s mouth was agape, she saw the mirth in his eyes so she knew he was trying to tease her but still it was a cheap shot!! She glared at him and tried to hit him but winched in pain because of the IV, Rishabh immediately became attentive

‘Aaram se Prerna… dard hua na?’

He started stroking her hand lightly with his fingers to ease the pain. She kept looking at him, studying his face, he looked tired, she knew that the last week must have been difficult for him as well. But now he was here, and that is what mattered the most.

‘Main next time aapko aur Kukki ko chod ke kahin nahi jaungi…’

She said in a soft voice making Rishabh look at her, he gave her a smile pulled her in a side hug

‘Hum abh aapko kahin jane hi nahi denge…’

They both looked at each other and smiled, their moment was disturbed when the doctor walked in. Rishabh gently got out of the bed. Much to Prerna’s dismay. She was enjoying his warmth. He excused himself while the doctor did Prerna’s check up and left the room.

After a few minutes he came back, dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans. Prerna assumed that he must have gone to change. The nurse walked behind him with her Breakfast in a tray. Prerna immediately made a face looking at the food. Rishabh noticed it and stopped the nurse from placing the tray on the table.

‘Mujhe bata dijiye ki unhe kya kya kahan allowed hai. I’ll get it arranged ’

The nurse looked at him nervously

‘But sir unke liye yeh healthily hai…’

‘I am not denying that, but my wife is not going to eat the food from the hospital. Tell me what she is allowed to eat and I’ll get it for her!’

He said a little more sternly and the nurse just nodded. She told them that Prerna was allowed to have some soup or broth and fruits. She couldn’t have anything spicy or too heavy. Rishabh thanked her and immediately dialed Mehra. He asked Mehra to get some chicken broth and fruits for Prerna.

He went and sat on a chair next to her bed, she looked at him with narrowed eyes. And he just shrugged his shoulders

‘You need rest Prerna. I can’t keep sitting on the bed next to you all the time… you need to be comfortable!!’

‘But I am more comfortable with you sitting next to me…’

She pouted and Rishabh let out a soft chuckle

‘Ek hafte pehle tak aapko agar main touch bhi karta tha toh aapko problem hoti thi aur aaj aap mujhe keh rahi hain that you want me to be seated next to you the entire time??’

She looked away shyly while Rishabh smirked, he enjoyed teasing her

‘Haan toh ek hafte main bohut kuch change hogaya hai… abh mujhe pata hai ki mujhe baki ki life aapke saath spend karna hai toh aapke kareeb rehne ki addat bhi daal hi lein chahiye na mujhe!!’

Rishabh’s smirk got bigger at her words, he caught her hand in his and started stroking his thumb on the back of her hand.

‘Then you need to recover soon… because aapke kareeb aane ke liye main bhi betab hun…’

He said in a husky voice that made Prerna feel cold shivers run through her body. She bit her lip trying to hide her blush. Right then Mehra knocked on their door, Prerna smiled at him and gestured him to come inside, she thanked him for helping her. He gave the pack of food to Rishabh and kept Prerna’s suitcase in a corner. She looked at Rishabh and him simultaneously in confusion.

‘I asked him to collect your stuff from Basu Badi and get it here. As soon as you are better we will leave for London!’

Prerna nodded at him, Mehra excused himself and let the two of them enjoy their breakfast.

‘Finish your food quickly and then we’ll have a video chat with Kukki… time difference ke according uske uthne ka waqt ho gaya hai.. Masi ko maine aapke halat ke bare main bataya diya hai..’

Rishabh sat next to her and started feeding her the soup. She took a piece of apple and feed him as well. She knew that even he must have not eaten anything. She wondered if he even had his dinner last night. They finished their breakfast soon and Rishabh fed her the medicines as well. He called his Masi on FaceTime and she answered it in third ring. She smiled at them

‘Abh kaisa feel kar rahi ho beta??’

‘Theek hun Masi… aap kaise ho??’

‘Hum bhi theek hai… doctor ne kya kaha Rishabh tum Prerna ko ghar kab tak leke aa rahe ho?’

‘Masi abhi baat nahi hui hai.. Kukki kaha hain??’

‘Tanvi usse lane gai hai… lo aa gaye!!’

Masi shifted a bit and adjusted the screen so that Tanvi and Kukki both could join her. Prerna’s eyes teared up seeing her daughter after a week!

‘Kukki… kaise ho beta??’

She asked in a baby like voice and Kukki gestured her that she was fine but was missing Prerna.

‘Papa issliye toh yahan aaye.. Mamma ko wapas aapke pass lane ke liye..’

Kukki clapped her hands in excitement, everybody smiled at her.

‘Rishabh, aap please Prerna ka ache se dhyaan rakhiye… taki vo jaldi recover ho jaye aur aap usse ghar le aaiye!! Prerna please take care of yourself, tumhe yahan next week se pehle aana hoga. Because main mere studies ke liye Paris ja rahi hun and I want to meet you before I leave!!’

Tanvi said with a smile on her face and after chatting for a few more minutes they cut the call. Prerna caught Rishabh’s hand and started playing with his fingers

‘Main aapse kuch puchun??’

‘Haan … puchiye na…’

‘Aap Tanvi se bade hain.. phir bhi vo aapke naam se kyun bulati hai aapko??’

Prerna’s question made Rishabh laugh while she frowned at him

‘Seriously?! Aapko yeh puchna tha… well she’s a part of my family and I prefer that my family addresses me with my first name... Mr. Bajaj Toh mujhe har koi bulata hai…’

‘Toh .. kya main bhi aapko Aapke naam se bulaun??’

Prerna bit her lip and spoke nervously while looking at him. He gave her a gentle smile in return and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

‘Only if you want to. I won’t force you… but I’d like if you call me by my Name!’

‘Rishabh…’

She whispered his name and his smile got wider, he rested his forehead against hers, they closed their eyes and enjoyed the moment. Prerna felt drowsy because of the medicines and she rested her head on his shoulder. Rishabh patted her to sleep and once she was fast asleep he adjusted her on the bed properly and went to speak to the doctor about Prerna’s discharge.

The doctor informed him that they would keep Prerna in observation for another night and if her health improves she can be discharged the next morning, he also assured Rishabh that Prerna could travel overseas.

——

The next morning when Rishabh went to finish all the discharge formalities, Prerna changed into a simple Anarkali dress. She was going there bag when Rishabh walked in. He informed her that they could leave for the airport in two/three hours.

‘Aap agar chahen toh tab tak hum aapke ghar ja sakte hain to meet your family..’

He said hesitantly, Prerna took a deep breath and replied in a stern voice

‘Meri family London main hai Rishabh, yahan mera koi nahi hai…’

Rishabh just nodded in reply

‘.. lekin jane se pehle ek kaam karna baki hai…’

She walked to him and handed him the file he had given her which was his backup plan to destroy the Basu’s. He looked at her in confusion and she answered his unasked question

‘I want you to destroy them…’

She spoke softly, Rishabh looked at her in shock

‘Prerna aap yeh...’

‘Janti hun main kya keh rahi hun… I want you to destroy them.. unke liye maine itna kuch kiya usske baad bhi they questioned me and my character… unke wajah se maine mera baccha khoya hai…they deserve it!!’

Rishabh could see it in her eyes that she wanted this for real. He assured her that he would do what she said and clasping his hand with her’s they walked out of the hospital. They boarded the car that Mehra had sent for them and headed towards Basu Badi. Prerna refused to step inside the premises of that house. Rishabh understood her situation and quietly got out of the car.

He took a deep breath to compose himself and kept his anger in control, he knocked on the door and Nivedita opened it for him. She was shocked to see him there. Without her asking him to Rishabh walked inside the house, the members of the Basu family were seated at the breakfast table, at once they all gathered in the living room

‘How dare you come to our house??’

Anurag asked him angrily. Rishabh shot a dead glare to him and walked to him

‘I am here to give you what you deserve!! Ms. Basu… yeh lijiye… and read it out for your family!!’

He handed her the file while glaring at Anurag and Nivedita was shocked to read what was written on those papers

‘How can you do this?! Iss main likha hai ki aapne yeh property puri tarah se Prerna ke naam kar di hai… Aap humse humara ghar kaise cheen sakte hain?? You have no right to do that!’

He turned to her and spoke calmly

‘I do have the right Ms. Basu, agar aapko yaad ho toh jab main yahan rehne aaya tha tab aapke lawyers ne bhi yahi kaha tha ki yeh property legally main apne naam kar sakta hun but uss waqt maine nahi kiya tha Because Prerna didn’t want you to become homeless!’

‘Oh … Toh aap uske liye yahan aaye hain… of course!!’

Anurag snorted and Rishabh shut his eyes to control his temper, he glared at Anurag and spoke in a cold voice

‘Yes… I am here for her and there’s something else I want to show you..’

Rishabh took out an envelope from the inside of his jacket and gave it to Anurag, he was stunned after reading it, he looked at Rishabh with tears in his eyes

‘Prerna ke medical reports hain, she suffered a miscarriage because apki Maa ne unhe bohut buri tarah se ghar se bahar nikala tha …’ he glared at Mohini and continued ‘... the reports state that the fetus was eight weeks old when they had operated her… Humari shadi ko sirf char hafte hue the… that was really your child Mr. Basu…’

Anurag sat on the sofa, almost paralysed, while the others looked at Rishabh in shock

‘So, you have an hour’s time to empty this house! Which now belongs to my wife! Please apne aap hi yahan se izzat se nikal jaiye warna mujhe authorities ko bula kar aapko dhake mar kar yahan se nikalna hoga…’

Nivedita walked to Rishabh

‘Aap aisa nahi kar sakte… hum yahan se kahin nahi jayenge… Prerna kahan hai? I want to speak to her. Vo humare saath aisa nahi kar sakti…’

‘Then you will be surprised to know that she wanted me to do this. And about meeting her, my wife doesn’t want to meet anyone of you! It would be better agar aap jake apna saman pack kar le!!’

Saying so Rishabh went and seated himself on the sofa. He took his phone out from him pocket and texted Prerna that the work was done. He looked at the Basu’s who were still rooted to their spots

‘Go on… pack your bags and leave. I don’t have the whole day! My wife and I have a flight to catch, before that I want you out of this house!’

He spoke nonchalantly and rolled his eyes in annoyance. With no other option left, the family retired to their rooms to pack their bags, except Anurag. He was still in a state of shock after the revelation. Rishabh looked at him in disgust, it was really hard for him to not punch Anurag for what he had done to Prerna, but he knew that it was not worth it.

Once again the entire Basu clan had gathered in the great hall with their bags next to them and tears in their eyes. Rishabh got up and gestured then to walk out of the house. Anupam went to Anurag and caught him by his shoulder, they walked out of the house in a state of shock and pain clearly visible on their face. As soon as they walked out of the door, Prerna stepped out of the car. Anurag looked at her and his eyes teared up again. He walked towards her but Prerna stepped back. Rishabh was quick to reach by her side. He wrapped his arm around Prerna’s waist to support her as well as to claim his stake in front of everyone. Prerna smiled at him. Nivedita walked to them and pleaded to Prerna

‘Please Prerna, don’t do this to us!! Please!! We are sorry but…’

‘Sorry???!!’

Prerna spoke in anger and disgust

‘Aapko kya lagta hai ki aapke ek sorry se sab theek ho jayega?? Aap logon ne baar baar mujh pe ungaliyaan uthai hai… apke wajah se meri pati aur meri beti ko itni takleef hui hai… aapke wajah se maine mera baccha khoya hai… aapko lagta hai ki aapka yeh ek Sorry inn sab cheezon ko theek kar sakta hai?? Nahi… bilkul nahi… aapke bhai ke khushi ke liye maine meri zindagi tak dav pe laga di thi aur ussne aapne hi bache ko apna ne se inkaar kar diya… aapki maa mere miscarriage ke liye responsible hai.. toh yeh jo aaj aapke saath ho raha hai unke wajah se hai…’

Everyone looked at her in shock, it was the first time they had seen her so angry. Nivedita looked away in shame, she knew that Prerna was right. She went and stood next to Anupam dejectedly.

‘Prerna..’

Anurag called her out but she shot him a glare

‘It’s Mrs. Bajaj for you Mr. Basu… I would suggest you that at least now you man up and stand by your family…’

She turned to look at Rishabh and smiled at him

‘Chalen Rishabh.. Hume airport pahunch na hai, we have to catch a flight to get back home, to our daughter!’

‘Whatever you say Love!!’

Rishabh replied and opened the door for her once she was seated he got in and they left without sparing another glance at the Basus.

——

*London*

As soon as they reached home, Masi, Tanvi and Kukki greeted them happily. Masi performed their aarti and Tanvi got the Kalash with rice in it, they performed Prerna’s grahpravesh and welcomed her into her new house. Kukki ran to her Mother and hugged her tightly. Prerna sat on her knees to come to Kukki’s level and started placing kisses all over her face. Rishabh came to them and pulled the both of them in a hug. Masi and Tanvi smiled at them.

——

It had been two months since Prerna had moved to London with Rishabh, their relationship had evolved a lot in these two months. They had become husband and wife in all senses, Prerna was acting like a typical wife. She wouldn’t let Rishabh leave the house without having something, she was the one keeping check of his things and Rishabh liked this behaviour of her’s. He was now dependent on her for everything and same was the case with Kukki. She wouldn’t do anything without Prerna, she would eat food from her hands and finish her homework with her but Prerna was trying to make her a little independent as well. She wanted her daughter to be strong and independent when she grew up. Masi was really happy seeing Rishabh and Prerna so happy together, Tanvi had met a guy in Paris during her Fashion Designing course and she was to arrive home with him the same evening as it was Diwali.

They were all dressed in beautiful Indian attire, Masi was wearing a yellow Saree and Tanvi had worn a pretty pink lehenga, while her boyfriend was dressed in a Lemon coloured kurta, Kukki was wearing a pretty bottle green lehenga and Rishabh was wearing a Royal blue sherwani. Prerna walked out of their room dressed in a red saree, her hair were open with soft curls in them, but they were all surprised to see her without sindoor and mangalsutra.

Prerna walked to Rishabh and opened her hands, she was holding her mangalsutra in one and sindoor in the other.

‘Main chahti hun ki aaj ke shubh din pe aap Maa ki murti ke saamne ek baar phir meri maang bhare aur mujhe apne haathon se mangalsutra pehnaye!!’

Everyone smiled at her and Rishabh nodded his head, they all walked towards the temple in their house and Rishabh took the mangalsutra from Prerna and clasped it behind her neck, he then filed the sindoor in her maang once again. Tanvi made sure to capture these beautiful moments on her phone while Kukki clapped happily for her parents. She rushed to them and Rishabh quickly picked her up in his arms while Prerna moved closer to them and the three of them shared a family hug. Rishabh cleared his throat and caught everyone’s attention

‘We wanted to share a news with you…’ he intervened his fingers with Prerna’s and continued ‘... aaj subah hum doctor se milne gaye the and we have come to know that Prerna is pregnant … and we are going to have Twins!!’

Masi and Tanvi rushed to congratulate them and hugged them tightly. Kukki clapped her tinys hands happily and kissed her parents on either of their cheeks.

Rishabh and Prerna looked at each other and smiled, this Diwali was going to bring a lot of happiness and light in their lives!!

Part 2B

Prerna woke up with a slight headache, she opened her eyes and saw that it was still dawn, She tried to get up but Rishabh’s hold around her was stopping her from doing so. He was there for her, he had come back for her. She had come to know from one of the nurses that Mr. Mehra had got her admitted to the hospital, so she assumed that he must have called Rishabh as well. She lifted her left arm to touch his face but winced because of the IV that was attached to her, Rishabh immediately woke up and looked at her in worry

‘Are you okay? Dard ho raha hai? Main doctor ko bulata hun…’

‘Nahi. I am fine. Bas vo haath main thoda dard hai IV ke wajah se…’

‘Oh’ Rishabh sighed and again reached for the side button of the bed, he adjusted the bed in a semi-sitting position. He slowly unwrapped his arm from Prerna’s shoulder and was about to get out of the bed when Prerna stopped him

‘Mat uthiye na… mujhe aise accha feel ho raha hai!!’

She said in a soft voice that melted Rishabh’s heart. He nodded and again sat on the bed, she placed her head on his chest and he kept patting her head, they both were trying to find solace in each other’s arms and the silence that surrounded them in the moment. Prerna slid her left hand in his right palm, but Rishabh was scared to clasp it, worried that his long fingers might touch the IV and hurt her, as if she had read his mind Prerna looked up at him through her eye lashes and blinked them in assurance, Rishabh gently clasped her hand and rested his head on top of hers.

‘Kukki kaisi hai??’

Prerna asked him in a low voice, she felt ashamed for putting Kukki through so much pain.

‘She is fine. Aapko bohut miss karti hai….’

Her hold on his hand became tight, Rishabh understood that she must be feeling guilty

‘Its okay! You don’t have to be guilty! Maine aapse kaha tha na vo meri beti hai.. she is very mature. Usse pata hai kai ki kya sahi hai kya galat… aur vo aapko galat nahi samajh sakti Prerna… she loves you… and she wants you to be happy! Aapko laga tha ki aap jo decision le rahi hain Shayaad vo sahi hai… aapki khushi uss decision main ….!’

He cupped her face and made her look at him

‘And Prerna… pechle ek mahine main vo aapki bhi beti ban gai hai… aur main janta hun ki vo aapke hi tarah logon ke khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai… Kukki ne jate waqt bhi aapse kaha tha ki vo sirf aapko khush dekhna chahti hai… so please don’t be guilty for trying to choose your happiness…’

Prerna’s eyes had started to tear up after listening to his words.

‘Lekin maine phir se ek galat decision liya… jiske wajah se iss baar aapko aur Kukki ko bhi hurt kiya maine…’

She said innocently, Rishabh gave her a small smile and kissed her forehead

‘Koi nahi.. insaan galat decision se hi toh sahi sabak seekhta hai na??’

Prerna looked at him in awe. He would always say the right things at the right time. How did he manage to do so she wondered?

‘Aur mujhe bhi isse ek baat pata chali hai… ki aage se humari life ke koi bhi important decision main aapko nahi lene dunga…’

Prerna’s mouth was agape, she saw the mirth in his eyes so she knew he was trying to tease her but still it was a cheap shot!! She glared at him and tried to hit him but winched in pain because of the IV, Rishabh immediately became attentive

‘Aaram se Prerna… dard hua na?’

He started stroking her hand with lightly with his fingers to ease the pain. She kept looking at him, studying his face, he looked tired, she knew that the last week must have been difficult for him as well. But now he was here, and that is what mattered the most.

‘Main next time aapko aur Kukki ko chod ke kahin nahi jaungi…’

She said in a soft voice making Rishabh look at her, he gave her a smile pulled her in a side hug

‘Hum abh apni kahin jane hi nahi denge…’

They both looked at each other and smiled, their moment was disturbed when the doctor walked in. Rishabh gently got out of the bed. Much to Prerna’s dismay. She was enjoying his warmth. He excused himself while the doctor did Prerna’s check up and left the room.

After a few minutes he came back, dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans. Prerna assumed that he must have gone to change. The nurse walked behind him with a Breakfast in a tray. Prerna immediately made a face looking at the food. Rishabh noticed it and stopped the nurse from placing the tray on the table.

‘Mujhe bata dijiye ki unhe kya kya kahan allowed hai. I’ll get it arranged for her’

The nurse looked at him nervously

‘But sir unke liye yeh healthily hai…’

‘I am not denying that, but my wife is not going to eat the food from the hospital. Tell me what she is allowed to eat and I’ll get it for her!’

He said a little more sternly and the nurse just nodded. She told them that Prerna was allowed to have some soup or broth and fruits. She couldn’t have anything spicy or too heavy. Rishabh thanked her and immediately dialed Mehra. He asked Mehra to get some chicken broth and fruits for Prerna.

He went and sat on a chair next to her bed, she looked at him with narrowed eyes. And he just shrugged his shoulders

‘You need rest Prerna. I can’t keep sitting on the bed next to you all the time… you need to be comfortable!!’

‘But I am more comfortable with you sitting next to me…’

She pouted and Rishabh let out a soft chuckle

‘Ek hafte pehle tak aapko agar main touch bhi karta tha toh aapko problem hoti thi aur aaj aap mujhe keh rahi hain that you want me to be seated next to you the entire time??’

She looked away shyly while Rishabh smirked, he enjoyed teasing her

‘Haan toh ek hafte main bohut kuch change hogaya hai… abh mujhe pata hai ki mujhe baki ki life aapke saath spend karna hai toh aapke kareeb rehne ki addat bhi daal hi lein chahiye na mujhe!!’

Rishabh’s smirk got bigger at her words, he caught her hand in his and started stroking his thumb on the back of her hand.

‘Then you need to recover soon… because aapke kareeb aane ke liye main bhi betab hun…’

He said in a husky voice that made Prerna feel cold shivers run through her body. She bit her lip trying to hide her blush. Mehra knocked on their door, Prerna smiled at him and gestured him to come inside, she thanked him for helping her. He gave the pack of food to Rishabh and kept Prerna’s suitcase in a corner. She looked at Rishabh and him simultaneously in confusion.

‘I asked him to collect your stuff from Basu Badi and get it here. As soon as you are better we will leave for London!’

Prerna nodded at him, Mehra excused himself and let the two of them enjoy their breakfast.

‘Finish your food quickly and then we’ll have a video chat with Kukki… time difference ke according uske sone ka waqt ho gaya hai.. Masi ko maine aapke halat ke bare main bataya diya hai..’

Rishabh say next to her and started feeding her the soup. She took a piece of apple and feed him as well. She knew that even he must have not eaten anything for a while. She wondered if he even had his dinner last night. They finished their breakfast soon and fed her the medicines as well. Rishabh called his Masi on FaceTime. She answered it in third ring. She smiled at them

‘Abh kaisa feel kar rahi ho beta??’

‘Theek hun Masi… aap kaise ho??’

‘Hum bhi theek hai… doctor ne kya kaha Rishabh tum Prerna ko ghar kab tak leke aa rahe ho?’

‘Masi abhi baat nahi hui hai.. Kukki kaha hain??’

‘Tanvi usse lane gai hai… lo aa gaye!!’

Masi shifted a bit and adjusted the screen so that Tanvi and Kukki both could join her. Prerna’s eyes teared up seeing her daughter after a week!

‘Kukki… kaise ho beta??’

She asked in a baby like voice and Kukki gestured her that she was fine but was missing Prerna.

‘Papa issliye toh yahan aaye.. Mamma ko wapas aapke pass lane ke liye..’

Kukki clapped her hands in excitement, everybody smiled at her.

‘Rishabh, aap please Prerna ka ache se dhyaan rakhiye… taki vo jaldi recover ho jaye aur aap usse ghar le aaiye!! Prerna please take care of yourself, tumhe yahan next week se pehle aana hoga. Because main mere studies ke liye Paris ja rahi hun and I want to meet you before I leave!!’

Tanvi said with a smile on her face and after chatting for a few more minutes they cut the call. Prerna caught Rishabh’s hand and started playing with his fingers

‘Main aapse kuch puchun??’

‘Haan … puchiye na…’

‘Aap Tanvi se bade hain.. phir bhi vo aapke naam se kyun bulati hai??’

Prerna’s question made Rishabh laugh while she frowned at him

‘Seriously?! Aapko yeh puchna tha… well she’s a part of my family and I prefer that my family addresses me with my first name. Mr. Bajaj Toh mujhe har koi bulata hai…’

‘Toh .. kya main bhi aapko Aapke naam se bulaun??’

Prerna bit her lip and spoke nervously while looking at him. He gave her a gentle smile in return and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

‘Only if you want to. I won’t force you… but I’d like if you call me by my Name!’

‘Rishabh…’

She whispered his name and his smile got wider, he rested his forehead against hers, they closed their eyes and enjoyed the moment. Prerna felt drowsy because of the medicines and she rested her head on his shoulder. Rishabh patted her to sleep and once she was fast asleep he adjusted her on the bed properly and went to speak to the doctor about Prerna’s discharge.

The doctor informed him that they would keep Prerna in observation for another night and if her health improves she can be discharged the next morning, he also assured him that Prerna could travel overseas.

——

The next morning when Rishabh went to finish all the discharge formalities, Prerna changed into a simple Anarkali dress. She was going there bag when Rishabh walked in. He informed her that they could leave for the airport in two/three hours.

‘Aap agar chahen toh tab tak hum aapke ghar ja sakte hain to meet your family..’

He said hesitantly, Prerna took a deep breath and replied in a stern voice

‘Meri family London main hai Rishabh, yahan mera koi nahi hai…’

Rishabh just nodded in reply

‘.. lekin jane se pehle ek kaam karna baki hai…’

She walked to him and handed him the file he had given her which was his backup plan to destroy the Basu’s. He looked at her in confusion and she answered his unasked question

‘I want you to destroy them…’

She spoke softly, Rishabh looked at her in shock

‘Prerna aap yeh...’

‘Janti hun main kya keh rahi hun… I want you to destroy them.. unke liye maine itna kuch kiya usske baad bhi they question me and my character… unke wajah se maine mera baccha khoya hai…they deserve it!!’

Rishabh could see it in her eyes that she wanted this for real. He assured her that he would do what she said and clasping his hand with hers they walked out of the hospital. The boarded the car that Mehra had sent for them and headed towards Basu Badi. Prerna refuses to step inside the premises of that house. Rishabh understood her situation and quietly got out of the car.

He took a deep breath to compose himself and kept his anger in control, he knocked on the door and Nivedita opened it for him. She was shocked to see him there. Without her asking him to Rishabh walked inside the house, the members of the Basu family were seated on the breakfast table, at once they all gathered in the living room

‘How dare you come to our house??’

Anurag asked him angrily. Rishabh shot a dead glare to him and walked to him

‘I am here to give you what you deserve!! Ms. Basu… yeh lijiye… and read it out for your family!!’

He handed her the file while glaring at Anurag and Nivedita was shocked to read what was written on those papers

‘How can you do this?! Iss main likha hai ki aapne yeh property puri tarah se Prerna ke naam kar ri hai… Aap humse humara ghar kaise cheen sakte hain?? You have no right to do that!’

He turned to her and spoke calmly

‘I do have the right Ms. Basu, agar aapko yaad ho toh jab main yahan rehne aaya tha tab aapke lawyers ne bhi yahi kaha tha ki yeh property legally main apne naam kar sakta hun but uss waqt maine nahi kiya tha Because Prerna didn’t want you to become homeless!’

‘Oh … Toh aap uske liye yahan aaye hain… of course!!’

Anurag snorted and Rishabh shut his eyes to control his temper

‘Yes… I am here for her and there’s something else I want to show you..’

Rishabh took out an envelope from the inside of his jacket and gave it to Anurag, he was stunned after reading it, he looked at Rishabh with tears in his eyes

‘Prerna ke medical reports hain, she suffered a miscarriage because your mother pushed her so roughly outside the house…’ he glared at Mohini and continued ‘... the reports state that the fetus was eight weeks old when they had operated her… Humari shadi ko sirf char hafte hue the… that was really your child Mr. Basu…’

Anurag sat on the sofa in almost paralysed, while the others looked at Rishabh in shock

‘Now, you have an hours time to empty this house! Which now belongs to my wife! Please apne aap hi yahan se izzat se nikal jaiye warna mujhe authorities ko bula kar aapko dhake mar kar yahan se nikalna hoga…’

Nivedita walked to Rishabh
