Prerna sat in her armchair by the fireplace in her living room and flipped through her family album. She smiled as she ran her fingers over the first picture. A picture or her second wedding with Mr Bajaj, with Kukki to her right and a week old Sneha in Rishabh’s arms
Rishabh Bajaj had come out of nowhere to save Prerna when her then beloved had tried to kill her with his bare hands.
Prerna had not recovered from this shock itself when Rishabh’s employee called him and informed them that Komolika had left Sneha at an orphanage. By the time they reached there, the entire place was covered in flames. ‘No one survived’, that is what they had been informed by the authorities. Prerna cursed herself for not being there to save her daughter and wanted to die. But Rishabh didn’t let her jump in the fire. He pulled her in a hug and tried to calm her.
‘It’s alright. Everything will be fine.’
Rishabh kept repeating it like a chant but Prerna was not ready to listen to him. The entire damn place was turning into ashes in front of her eyes. Her daughter might be inside that fire, how could everything be fine?!
She tried to hit him with her fist and free herself from his hold but Rishabh didn’t let go of her. Instead his hold on her got tighter with every punch that she threw at him. She stopped only when she heard an infant cry from afar. She looked at Rishabh to confirm if what she thought was right. Rishabh nodded his head and signalled her to look behind her. A man dressed in formals walked with their daughter in his arms towards them.
As soon as Rishabh got the news that Komolika had left Sneha here, he asked his employee to go keep Sneha safe with him till Rishabh came. With trembling hands Prerna took her daughter from the man and hugged Sneha close to her heart. She cried once again but this time in relief. She turned to look at Rishabh with fresh tears in her eyes, gently he took Sneha in his one arm and wrapped his free hand around Prerna’s shoulder. He pulled her closer to him and let her hold on to him
‘Till I am alive, nothing will happen to you or our daughter’
Rishabh whispered in her hair as he walked them to the car. They boarded the first flight to London to start their new life. Prerna took a little time to get used to her new life, to get used to being Mrs Bajaj once again and this time genuinely by her choice.
Prerna was surprised to see the new side of Rishabh Bajaj. He was nothing like the man she knew him to be a few months ago. She had seen him be a doting father to Kukki, but she never expected him to be the save to Sneha as well.
Her eyes still welled up whenever she would see Rishabh with Sneha. He was more worried for her than Prerna herself. Neither he nor Kukki would let Sneha out of their sight even for a minute, unless she was with Prerna.
Despite being a child herself Kukki had taken the responsibility of being an elder sister very well. She was always scolding the staff for setting the air conditioner or the heater at a wrong temperature.
‘My sister might feel uncomfortable if the temperature is not right!’
Kukki would say in her adorable voice making her parents chuckle at her. Along with their daughters, Rishabh was giving his attention to Prerna as well, he knew that once she got busy in her duties as a mother she would ignore her health so Rishabh had taken the responsibility of making sure that she ate on time and took her vitamins as well. He was training Kukki about the same and she was in true sense her father’s daughter, over protective for her family.
She turned to the next page and there was a picture of Kukki and Sneha clicked when Sneha was three months old. Prerna chuckled as she recalled an incident from about that time
Sneha had fallen sick for the first time and the entire Bajaj family was jumpy because of the same. Rishabh Bajaj in particular because his little princess was in distress.
The previous night Sneha had been crying and did not sleep at all. Unwell and sleep deprived the baby was throwing all sorts of tantrums and she refused to have her mil as well. And because her sister was crying so much Kukki started to cry too. While Prerna tried to calm Kukki down, Rishabh paced with Sneha in his arms trying to hush her till the doctor arrived. When she said it was a normal flu which could be cured with an injection Prerna could sense Rishabh become tense after listening to the doctor’s words.
‘But why an injection? She is so tiny, how can you inject her?!’
He had tried to argue with the doctor and ask for alternative suggestions to treat Sneha. But the doctor explained to him that the baby would feel better quickly after the injection and since she was so small antibiotics might not suit her well. When Rishabh was still unconvinced, Prerna tried to get him ready to let the doctor inject Sneha.
‘Mr Bajaj, look at it this way. The sooner her fever goes down the better she will feel’
She had twisted her words on purpose and her trick worked. Rishabh sat with Sneha in his lap so that the doctor could inject her. His hold around Sneha was firm as he still tried to hush her, and his own eyes clenched in pain when Sneha wailed loudly as the doctor injected her. As soon as the doctor was done with her task, Rishabh pulled Sneha close to his chest and rubbed her back
‘Sash… you are fine’
Rishabh kept saying in a soft voice, but Prerna knew that he was saying this to calm himself rather than Sneha. That day for the first time, she had seen him cry. The entire night he slept with Sneha resting on his chest and Kukki clinging to his left arm.
Next to this picture was another picture, which was clicked by Prerna herself. Kukki and Rishabh were on their fours with Sneha. She had just started crawling and those two were trying to chase her. Prerna kept scrolling the pages and stopped at a particular picture which was clicked a few days after Sneha’s first birthday.
They had gone shopping to get a few things for Kukki’s school play. Once they were done with Kukki’s shopping, they sat at an ice-cream parlour. The trio enjoyed their respective ice-creams and that didn’t appease Sneha. She wanted a taste of it too, thus the little baby started throwing tantrums. She wailed and banged her fists on the baby chair till Kukki tried to feed her a tiny scoop. Prerna stopped Kukki, however Rishabh encouraged her to go ahead.
‘But Mr Bajaj she could catch cold’
‘Ek bit se kuch nahi hoga Prerna..’
Rishabh assured her, and glanced at their daughters. He smiled when Kukki made Sneha taste a tiny spoon of mango ice-cream. The sweet and slightly sour taste of the ice-cream made Sneha’s nose wrinkle. Rishabh had made sure he captured the moment in his phone.
‘At least we know that she won’t like Mango ice-cream when she grows up!’
He shrugged his shoulders and took a small spoon of Prerna’s strawberry ice-cream. Once again Sneha made the same face while Rishabh and Kukki giggles, Prerna frowned at them
‘She won’t like strawberry ice-cream either!!’
Rishabh said and finally gave Sneha a spoon of his own Chocolate ice-cream. However, their daughter reacted the same way.
‘Seems like she doesn’t like your choice either Mr Bajaj..’
Prerna said in a teasing tone and saw him sulk.
‘It’s okay. She can have her own choices, at least now we know what she doesn’t like when it comes to ice-creams!’
Rishabh said with a smile on his face and wiped the remaining ice-cream from Sneha and Kukki’s face. When it came to his daughters, Rishabh always gave them whatever they wanted.
Prerna was about to flip the page when she heard some whispers from the kitchen. She kept the album aside and walked to the kitchen. Her three year old daughter struggled to grab five chocolate bars together in her tiny hand while Kukki, who was almost eight and a half now, tried to open the milk carton without spilling it.
‘Kya ho raha hai yahan?!’
Prerna startled the duo, but fortunately they didn’t drop anything.
‘Thank god it’s you Mamma. Hume laga ki Papa aagaye. Aaj Father’s Day hai toh humne socha ki Papa ke liye cake banaya’
Kukki spoke enthusiastically but in a low voice.
‘Cake!! Cake!!’
Sneha mimicked her elder sister and jumped on her spot. Prerna’s lips curled in a smile, she walked to them and kissed both of them on their cheeks.
‘Chalo Mamma bhi help karegi…’
She picked Sneha and made her sit on the kitchen platform, taking the craft knife from Kukki’s hand she too joined in baking a special cake for the World’s Best Father. Rishabh Bajaj.
