Chapter 9

Rishabh patted his foot impatiently as he sat in the VIP seats at the award function. He was supposed to come for this event with Prerna but due to a last minute meeting that his PA had arranged without his acknowledgement he couldn’t go to pick her from her place and now she was late for the event. His name could be announced any minute and he wanted her to be there to see him being awarded. He was already upset that Veena and Rajesh refused to come along with Prerna because the Basus’ were to attend the event too. They didn’t want any unnecessary drama to happen at the event hence they had decided to skip it which had disappointed Rishabh a lot.

He glanced at his watch and sighed heavily as his name was announced and he was called up on the stage. He shot a death glare at his PA as he got up from his seat. The crowd applauded loudly as he walked onto the stage.

The small smile on Rishabh’s face turned into a big one as he spotted her entering from the VIP gate and making her way to the seat next to Mehra. As soon as she walked in all the eyes turned at once in her direction. Prerna was dressed in a plain gray silk gown and had minimal makeup on, her hair were open with slight waves in them. Her simple yet elegant look made her stand out in the crowd of the elite. Rishabh himself couldn’t tear his eyes off her but he had to when the compare congratulated him and asked him to say a few words.

‘First and foremost I’d like to thank the people of Kolkata who put their faith in me and my company as the consumers. My employees for they bear with my temper and give their best shot at work, this award is a result of teamwork, I am not solely entitled to it. But a bigger thank you to those who did not believe me in the first place, because I would not have been able to push myself harder everyday to prove those people wrong….’

He took a pause and glanced at the Basus’ who looked everywhere but towards him, they all had nasty or upsetting expressions on their faces, Rishabh smirked slightly. Defeating them gave him a pleasure.

Rishabh’s eyes met with Prerna’s, he saw tears in her eyes with a smile on her face. He knew that she felt proud of him.

‘And finally, I’d like to dedicate this award to those people who are my family. There have been times when I had doubts about myself but they trusted me. Agar unka saath na hota toh shayaad main aaj yahan nahi hota… so this is for my family…’

Rishabh raised the award in Prerna’s direction and gave her his reserved smile before stepping down from the stage. He was about to walk back to Prerna but one of the senior associates of the firm engaged him in a conversation. Prerna felt her phone vibrate in her purse and excused herself to attend it. Rajesh was worried if she had made it in time or no and had called her to ask about the same. She spoke with him for a minute or so and as she turned around after ending the call she collided with Mohini Basu

Mohini who was already mad about the Basus loosing this award to Rishabh Bajaj; now fumed in anger as she saw Prerna there

‘Tumhe nazar nahi aata kya jo iss tarah se mujhse takra gai… Ya iss jagah ki chaka chaund se tumhari aankhien kharab ho gai hai.. vaise bhi tum jaise middle class log aise elite functions main aaoge toh yehi hoga na…’

Even though Prerna wanted to answer her back she kept hold of her tongue, she knew that Mohini would just continue creating a scene if she uttered a single word

‘I am sorry.. mera dhyaan phone pe tha .. next time se I’ll be careful…’

‘Oh you should be sorry… and not just for this.. uss din jis tarah se tumhare parents ne humari insult ki… uske liye bhi tumhe mujhe sorry kehna chahiye..’

Prerna was not amused at Mohini’s unreasonable demand. After knowing the Basus for years she was very well aware that Mohini Basu thought that she could never be wrong. And so far Prerna was trying to avoid adding fuel to Mohini’s rage but it was high time she gave it back to her

‘I am sorry but main aapko usske liye sorry nahi kehne wali.. galti aapki aur aapke bhai ki thi jo yeh soch baithe ki main aur mera parivaar uss rishte ke liye maan jayenge.. uss rishte ke liye mana karke humne koi galti nahi ki hai.. isaliye aapko main sorry nahi kehne wali…’

She walked passed Mohini to go back to her seat. Anurag who had come looking for his mother had witnessed the entire scene and decided to speak with his Mum about the same but he saw the furious expressions on Prerna’s face and decided to follow her instead to console her and apologise on his mother’s behalf.

‘Prerna..’

Anurag’s call made Prerna stop in her tracks. She closed her eyes in frustration as she already had a clue about why he had called her out, she breathed deeply and spoke in a low voice to not grab the attention of rest of the attendees

‘Anurag please… tum abh apni Mom ki baaton ke liye mujhse mafi mat manga…’

It was a slight surprise to Anurag that she already knew why he had stopped her.

‘But…’

‘Yehi soch rahe ho na ki mujhe kaise pata? Mujhe issliye pata hai kyunki haar baar yehi hota hai.. tumhari Maa Mujhe ya mere Maa Baba ko kuch kehti hain aur phir tum ya Kaka Babu unke behalf pe aake sorry bolte ho.. and right now I don’t want that apology from you.. your mother was trying to ruin my entire life by getting me married to someone 3 times older than me aur uss rishte ko mana karne main bhi unhe Humari hi galti nazar aa rahi hai.. isse saaf sabit hota hai unhe unki khudki galti ka ehsaas nahi hai.. toh please tum bhi unke taraf se sorry bolne ki formality mat karo… Aur tumhe yehi baat kab samajh aayegi ki har cheez ka ek sahi waqt aur samay hota hai..’

She shook her head at him as an indication that he had disappointed her once again and left. Anurag was dumbfounded with her words. He knew that she was right and thus he couldn’t even counter answer her or stop her. Their small conversation was not unnoticed by Rishabh who was still busy talking to his associates. He clenched his fist in anger after he noted the painful and agonised expressions on Prerna’s face. He was sure that Anurag might have said something to her.

After five minutes or so Rishabh was finally able to bring an end to his chat with his associates and go back to his table but Prerna was in her seat. He scanned the entire hall with his eyes and couldn’t find her there either. He assumed that she must have gone to the restroom and decided to check there. But the cleaning lady confirmed with him that no one had visited the ladies room in the past half an hour.

The same unknown fear gripped Rishabh’s heart once after listening to the lady’s reply. If Prerna was not in the ladies room then where was she? He fished out his phone and speed dialed Mehra.

‘Mehra.. go to the security room aur last 10 mins ki sari footage check karke mujhe batao ki Prerna last kahan thi… I can’t find her…’

He saw Anurag come out of the Men’s room and suddenly he felt angry looking at him. Maybe it was something that Anurag must have said that made Prerna leave so suddenly.

‘Mr. Basu I’d like to talk to you for a minute…’

Anurag was once again taken by surprise and as much as Anurag hated him there was something in Rishabh’s voice that made him halt in his tracks, he nodded his head slightly as an encouragement for Rishabh to continue

‘Abhi kuch minute pehle aap Prerna se baat kar rahe the.. do you know where she is now?!’

Rishabh’s question made Anurag frown in confusion at first, why would Rishabh ask about Prerna? He wondered; but then he remembered seeing Prerna get into his car outside the cafe

‘Haan vo Maa ne usse kuch keh diya tha toh main usse unke behalf pe sorry bolne gaya tha… par vo kafi gusse main thi… I guess vo issi taraf aai thi..’

‘Yeah but I did check with the staff in the ladies room… yahan aadhe ghante se koi nahi aaya hai… and Prerna was speaking with you a few minutes ago jiske baad se vo mujhe kahin dikhi nahi … that’s why I asked you…’

Rishabh’s voice was full of worry as he spoke to Anurag. He was curious to know why did Rishabh care so much for Prerna and what relation did they share, as far as he was aware Prerna had never met or spoken to Rishabh before his visit to the college then how did they know each other so well that Prerna had left from the cafe with him and now when she was missing, Rishabh seemed to be really concerned for her.

Before Anurag could voice our his thoughts Mehra came to them with worry etched on his face. He looked at Rishabh cautious before speaking in a low voice

‘Sir.. I think we should call the security team immediately… I am afraid to say, but Ma’am has been kidnapped’
