Chapter 12 – The Trust
Rishab came late at night from office.
“Rishab tum aaj kukki ko lenes chool nahin gaye.”
Rishab was surprised and went straight to Kukki room and found her asleep.
“Menaka isse milne aayi thi.”
“She can’t do this. The custody arrangement clearly states that she can’t meet her. How dare she. Mr Mehra lawyers ko leke mere ghar pe aaye abhi.”
Rishab and lawyers where discussuing the case when they heard a scream from Kukki room. Rishab ran to her room and found that Kukki was screaming and she had made the bed wet. Rishab tried to relax him but he was shivering and Rishab didn’t know what to do. He tried to calm her in every way possible that he used to do before but none was working. He knew that she was missing Prerna. Maasi tried to flaunt that she is trying to call prerna but she is not responding and kept badmouthing her. Rishab had had enough. Maybe he was wrong in letting Prerna go Maybe he did need to remind Prerna about the deal. Mr.Mehra knew what he was about to do and had to stop him.
“Sir please don’t do anything stupid.”
“Mr Mehra jitna kaha jaye utna kijiya phone dijiye mujhe. “
Mr mehra was standing at stair and finding no way out deliberately dropped Mr bajaj phone.
“I am sorry sir I am so sorry.”
“Rishab tum mera phone le lo.” –Maasi said
“Ab phone pe baat nahin hogi.”
Rishab started packing one of Kukki clothes and asked Mr Mehra to take out the car. Both Maasi and Mr Mehra were not expecting the reaction and were scared where it might lead them.
At Sharma Nivas everybody was enjoying the party. Prerna was happy to see her whole family so happy and with her but the images of Menaka bose wouldn’t leave her mind. Images of her and Kukki flashed into her mind. She has also shown her pictures and they showed a Rishab bajaj as happy and all like a happy family. She just didn’t know what to do. Just then she was dragged by Anurag and Shivi to the table and they all cut the cake. Anurag was about to feed her when she took a small piece herself from the cake and ate it. Just then the doorbell rang and she saw mr bajaj holding Kukki in her arms with mr mehra. Mr Mehra regretted bringing Mr bajaj here. But as soon as prerna saw Kukki she ran
“Kya hua?”
“Sorry aapki party disturb ki”
“Kya Hua?”
“She was having very badnightmares. Bed gila kar diya and she was just not getting relaxed. Gaadi main so gayi but “
Kukki opened her eyes and saw prerna and jumped towards her.
“Kukki mumma hain aapke saath” -with that she took Kukki to her room to put her to bed.
Rishab was about to follow her when Veena stopped him
“Mere ghar main aane ki ijazat di nahin hain maine.”
“Apni beti ke liye mujhe kisiki permission nahin chahiye. Aap badi hain main apni tahzeeb nahin khona chahta badtamizi nahin karna chahta. Ek baar who relax ho jaaye main chala jaonga.”
“Mind your language Mr bajaj. Yeh meri apni hain inse koi aise baat nahin karta.”
“Par aapki maa to karti hain har roz har pal har incident pe. Oh aapki baat sirf sharma nivas main mani jaati hain basu badi main to nahin.”
“Your days are over.”
“Haare hui Khiladi pe dao laga kar mujhe harane chale hain. Aapki yehi problem hain Mr.basu aap sochte nahin dhyan nahin dete bas assumptions banate hain. Menaka kya hain aur kya kar sakti hain aap nahin jante. Logo ko padhna sikhye Mr basu. Nasihat isliye nahin de raha kyunki mujhe aapki fikar hain balki prerna ko acha nahin lagta if you or anyone of you all basus are in trouble. “
Anurag smiling – “Wow aap sach main dar gaye hain. Dar gaye ki aapka sach prerna ke samne aa jayega. Dar gaye ki prerna ke saath saath Kukki bhi chali jayegi”
“Don’t you are Mr Basu. Meri bachi ko is sab main mat laiye.”
“Aap lekar aaye hain Kukki ko is sab main”
“enough“ Prerna shouted and with that took mr bajaj hands and headed to her room.
“Priyu kya kar rahin hoon tum”
“Maa Please. Aap inhe pasand nahin karti main jaanti hoon, lekin is waqt yeh kukki ke pita hain aur who insaan hain jinhone aapko jail jane se bachaya. Aapko ijaat nahin deni hain mat dijiye main inki bezzati nahin hone dungi. Ek baar yeh kukki ko dekh le yeh chale jayenge. Please”
Fuming Anurag left the house.
“Kya kar rahin the app, aise kaunsi meeting thi ki aap kukki ko school se lana bhul gaye. Aapne bola tha mujhe ki aap kukki ko sambhal lenge. Ki aap uska khayal rakhenge. Dar ke mare who bachi. Aise kaun si meeting thi. “
“Kukki ki real mother is back and she wants Kukki custody. I had a meeting with the lawyers and didn’t know what to do. Aap surprise nain hain unke bare main sunkar.”
“Mili thi aaj main unse”
“Main Kukki ko kal aakar lejaonga”
“kya hua tha Mr bajaj aapke aur miss bose ke beech main.”
“Kyun puch rahin hain. Aap ko sab kuch pata hain already.”
“meri bachi se related har baat jane ka haq hain mujhe. Accuse nahin kar rahin hoon apko sirf sach sunna chahti hoon. Aapke muh se”
“Menaka ke father was like my mentor. So naturally main kai baar Menaka se mila tha. Jab usnke father ne marriage propose kiya I was surprised but I agreed as I was attracted towards her. She was a dream and I gave her everything I could. Then we found that she was pregnant and I was very happy. “
“You seemed happy with her. She showed me pictures.”
“That is all it was pcitures. Kukki 2 saal ki thi main business trip ke liye bahar gaya tha. Meri trip jaldi khatam ho gayi and I thought I will surprise her. When I came home I found her in bed with Viabhav my business partner. I also found that she has been having this before we were married and she got married only so that she can make her father happy. “
And he did a weird laugh. “jis Rishab Bajaj ko sab pata rehta hain who yeh nahin dekh paya. We agreed on joint custody, Mere ek competitor se mujhe threatening call aa rahin the aur maine Menaka se kaha tha ki kuch dino ke liye Kukki pe dhyan de but she didn’tlisten. Ek din Kukki ki nanny use park main lekar gayi and she was attacked and it was that day that I have last heard her speak anything. Maybe Menaka was stressed maybe she didn’t remember but all I know is my daughter is like that because of her and I am sorry if I don’t want the mistake to be repeated.”
Prerna didn’t say anything just left the room. Rishab was surprised but continued looking at Kukki fearing for the first time that he might lose them both.
Prerna returned with a plate of food. “Khana kha lijiye please. Mr Mehra ne bataya apne khana nahin khaya hain”
“Mujhe chalna chahiye, aapki mom ko acha nahin lagega.”
“Khana kka lijiye chale jayega.”
Once Rishab was done Prerna broched the subject – “Maybe Menaka is regretting unse ek baar milne dene main koi harz nahin hain”
“Maine aaj tak aapki har baat mani hain respect ki hain chahe who Mr Basu ko lekar hi kyun na hoon but is baat ko lekar aap meri decision ki respect karengi. Main Kukki ke saath chance nahin lunga. “
Prerna nodded.
“Sorry maine aapki party spoil ki,main nahin aata par maasi ne call kiya itni baar apne phone nahin uthaya.”
Prerna was confused and realised maybe maasi was angry with everything what was going on so she also lied – “Shayad silent par hoga. Dhyan nahin gaya mera.”
Rishab nodded. Kukki started moving so Prerna moved near her and slept next to her. Rishab covered them with a blanket and left.
“Sir aapka naya phone”
“Ghar jiaye Mr Mehra we will see tom what to do”
At basu bari – “Kukki” – Maasi
“Prerna ke yaha hain kal ayegi.Maasi aap badi hain aur main jaanta hoon apko meri fikar hain lekin Kukki ko alag rakhiye insab se.”
“Woh nahin wapis aayegi Rishab aur agar tum kuh aur soch rahin hoon to jhooth bol rahin hoon apne aapse bas apni ankhon par itni kaske pati mat bandho ki kuch bahut galat ho jaye tumse”
Rishab left from there.
