Prologue
7 years after Anurags marriage with Komolika...
Its a busy day in Basu Empire Head office, considering today there is a very important meeting about a Hundred Crore Project which is very important for Basu constructions which is founded and owned by Anurag Basu.
The man in question Anurag is in a small cabin in the middle of office where he is busy finalising the last minute works . The cool and calm going Anurag Basu while being very silent outside is very tensed internally.Only sign a bead of sweat on his fore head. Why? because this project decides the fate of his brain child Basu Constructions which he eastablished ao as to come out of the shadow of his father who is still very angry at him for chasing away the one girl that mattered. Its seven years since they saw Prerna sharma last. No one even has an idea of where she is. Her Social Media presence completely deactivated, phone numbers no more working, and her mom not willing to forthcome with any details , none know even if she is alive or not.And Anurag missed her every day of his life.

"Mom, why are you leaving me here alone with Chotu kaka, can't you take me with you."
"Anu, if I take you along with me, How will you go to your school, play with your friends? " Prerna spoke as she adjusted the hair band of her seven years old daughter.
"But Mom , you never take me to Kolkatta when Gran,Mama,Kaki every one stays there. Why?" Anu asked and Prerna sighed "Anu, they come to visit you right...Let it be like that. I don't want you to be there."
"Because Dad will be there and you fear he will take me away?"
Prerna sighed, she shouldnt have told her daughter about her butchered relation but one thing she wanted her to know is this thing and she never want her to be confused when it comes to relations. May be she is not a good mother but she is logical and knows keeping these things away from her daughter will harm her only. "No Anu, I dont fear him taking you away from me, but I dont want him to even know that you are there. "
Her daughter gave a serious nod which only a seven year old can pull in such a cute way "Say Hi to every one there. Bye mom."
Prerna hugged her daughter and kissed her fore head before leeaving to Air Port.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir, we have an update. Apparently as we were told earlier we are not going to meet Mr.Gireesh Reddy who is Executive Manager of Dream Photography and events. However we are going to meet some one else from company. A lady by name Prerna . She messaged that she will be here in ten minutes. "
Hearing the word Prerna , Anurag looked up sharply "Prerna what, Kamal"
Kamal Personal assistant of Anurag looked through his phone and told "Her name is Prerna Bajaj. Thats the only thing we got. There are no other details."
Anurag nodded "Ok get everything ready. "
Kamal hesitated "Sir.."
Anurag looked up "Yes"
"There was another new message from her and she said she dont need any vehicle from our side and she will reach by herself."
Anurag nodded all the while thinking 'Prerna , is that you. why did you change your name to Prerna Bajaj. Are you married?' He wondered as he fingered the thread around his neck which is there for last seven years.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A soft exclamation of Anupam got his attention as he looked up and saw the woman whom he missed for last seven years , dressed in a chudidar with her neck covered and a small pinch of sindoor on her head. He stood up as she came near to him led by Kamal .
Kamal not understanding situation "Ma'am Meet Mr.Anurag Basu our Founder CEO. Sir this is Mrs.Prerna Bajaj our clintele representative." Anurag gave a small not to her as he suspected his voice might break if he spoke to her.Anupam who doesn't have any such worries gave her a big smile which she returned and hugged him "How are you bro?"
"I am very fine Prerna. But where did you leave, I mean since seven years we have no news about you and none of your family speaks anything about you."
Prerna gave a look to Anurag as she spoke "I need to leave from here for my peace of mind bro. Shall we start with company work, we can speak about personals later. Mr.Nair, are we set for the presentation?"
Anurag spoke before Kamal can "How are you Prerna?"
Prerna gave him a small smile " Very good Mr.Basu. But I believe we can't waste time on pleasantaries for I have very limited time here. "
Her attitude actually shocked him but believing her to be an employee who is running on a schedule , he nodded and they went through the presentation which just consisted of constructing 7 offices of Dream Media around the country in a time period of 8 months. They haggles the details where he found Prerna to be very technical and after the meeting was done she spoke "Ok Mr.Basu, I liked your presentation and agree to this deal. This is the contract we have for you, please read it thoroughly and sign."
Anurag frowned at that, they didn't get to meet the real clients of them only a representative and they are being asked to sign the deal "Who will be signing the contract from your company?"
Prerna looked at him as if he was a biological specimen "Me ofcourse, do you see any one else from my company here."
Anurag left the file on table " I am sorry,but I can't sign with out the lead figure of your company present."
Prerna gave him a small smirk confusing him "Ofcourse, Mr.Basu. And you can sign it today because the lead figure of our company is present here already."
Connecting the dots together he got astonished , Dream Media is one company which organised events and photographies for the top 1% rich in the country and their net worth is found to be some where around 1500-1800 crores what with them having works internationally too and to think Prerna was head of it was astonishing. He checked through the contract and found in end its written as Prerna Sharma. He looked at her shocked and signed the contract and gave it to her where she signed it too. As it was being done she got a call which made her smile "Hello Bajaj tell me "
"Yeah I am done. I will meet you in another ten minutes. "
Anupam stopped her as she was about to leave " Prerna when did you get married? Is that person your husband?"
Prerna smiled "I got married seven years back Anupam. Bajaj is not my husband . My husband and me are seperated."
Anupam asked her confused "If that Bajaj is not your husband why did you take his name ?"
Prerna looked at Anurag who is still sitting there "Because he is by my side when my husband is not there. And he offered his name as a sort of protection. "
Anurag looked at her "From whom would you need Protection."
Prerna glared at him "From Vultures like you, who see women like nothing but a thing to possess."
She was about to leave when Anurag stopped her " Prerna is this is the Bajaj I think he is, there are rumours he is associated with Mafia . He is dangerous for you. Also how did you become head of such a big company in such a small time."
Prerna laughed "Mr.Basu, Bajaj is dangerous. But that dangerous man became my protection, when you the so called good people back stabbed me. Leave my hand or else you will face serious consequences."
She left him standing there as she left.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How did the enquiry go?"
Prerna laughed "As expected. What are you doing in Kolkatta when I heard of you last you are in Dubai"
Bajaj grinned "Gireesh told me that you basically ordered him to land up a project with Basu Constructions . I know you will be coming here and I wanted to see you playing them"
Prerna smiled " I know.But understand I am doing this for Kaka babu. Mom told me he is worried about families future with the incurred debts and all. I just wanted to help him. Papa would have done that if he is alive today."
Bajaj shrugged " So no romance resurfacing for your ex flame."
Prerna glared at him " Never again. I heard Anurag Basu with every fibre of my being. "
Bajaj nodded "You can just tell me, I will happily get rid of all debts Basu Parivaar might have. Why risk your already detatched emotions."
Prerna looked at him softly " You already did so much for me. Gave me your name when I can't take name of my husband . Protected me and helped me in tough times. I dont want to burden you more. Also this is my fight."
Bajaj pulled her cheek "You kiddo are always stub born. Fight your fight I wont stop you. But let me be on your side. "
Prerna shrugged "No issues. Why will I reject such a gracious offer from my best friend."
