*Cold Revenge* Prerish SS (PART 6) *updated pg 21* - Page 2

Wow👏

Can't wait for more ❤️

"And Love turned out to be a beautiful dream and a worse Nightmare...."

There was fire everywhere, she was rushing and frantically scanning the whole area in search of someone, she could hear people screaming and crying, she could see the damage fire was causing but she couldn’t stop her search, her skin was sweaty, her hair messy, she tried to enter the burning building when a huge explosion occurred the impact of which sent her flying back and she fell on the concrete floor with a thud. Her hand reached out to the burning building tears streaming down her face “Sneha…” she screamed

She woke up with a jolt, tears trickling down her face, she hysterically started to get off the bed “She has to find Sneha her daughter is in danger…” but before she could even get off, a pair of hands grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back slightly “Prerna…”

The voice woke her up from the living nightmare, she gasped and looked up to see Mr. Bajaj’s anxious eyes, the worry was etched on his face as he was trying to grasp the situation “Prerna…” he called her once again.

She was gasping as if she was having a hard time breathing“Mr. Bajaj…” she sobs and hold on to the hands holding her shoulders “Wo Aag...” she swallows “Meri Bachi…” She cries this time covering her face with her hands“Meri Bachi…” she keeps on murmuring.

Bajaj sighs, and kneels in front of her then gently pulls her to himself keeping her head on his shoulder and patting her hair while looking up. He never had words to console her for the loss she suffered, whenever she cried, he would let her cry so that her tears may somehow lessen the burden she feels.

****************

He held out a glass full of water in front of her and she nods at him then takes it. He sits beside her, they were sitting in the balcony on the single sofa couch, He turns to look at her and ask “Feeling better…”

She nods passing him a little smile and then staring back into nothingness, he always deliberately chooses the room next to her because he knew she suffered from nightmares and whenever she had one he would immediately be by her side just like today, he knew something was up with her, her nightmares whenever that happens there has always been something that triggered it, for the past 4 years she had her emotions under controlled and she rarely had any nightmares, He contemplated whether meeting with Anurag was the reason that her nightmares have returned.

“Something happened Prerna…” He asked

She looks up at quizzically “Why?”

He sighs “Your nightmare, you never had any in the past 4 years and now all of sudden…”

Prerna smiles ruefully “You know way too much about me Mr. Bajaj, don’t you?”

Bajaj shrugs “I keep track of all the things going on with the people in my life you should have known this by now…”

She shrugs her head and sighs “You know Mr. Bajaj, I waited eight years for eight years I worked like a mule to make myself independent, self-reliant and strong enough to avenge the death of my baby and my trust…” She sighs again looking up “And today when I stepped into the Basu Badi, I really wanted to give all those shallow people some reality check, but I never thought I would be the one getting reality checks instead of them…”

Bajaj listened to each word she said with attention and then nodded at her when she looked at him encouraging her to go on

She scoffs “I was quite fond of romantic novels back then, I read all those books and really believed that no power in this world can undo the true love…” She closes her eyes “True love is real, true love will find its way; I use to spew this kind of nonsense with so much of confidence…”She mocks herself “I met Anurag and fell in love with him, he became my everything and I knew I found true love, he fought for me, stood up for me, worried about me and loved me with Anurag by my side I thought I could fight even the biggest battles in my life without any hesitation that was my belief…” tears started to fill her eyes.

She gulps “Today I saw him in his house among his people, he had his mother, sisters, niece, nephews, wife and…” She swallowed the gasp that threatened to escape “a daughter….all by his side, he was smiling with them laughing, teasing, he really did move on with everything…” She laughs bitterly “He has a daughter his and Komolika’s daughter…” she turns her head to the side to look at Bajaj “He has a daughter with a woman who murdered our baby my baby…” she whispers keeping her tears at bay.

Bajaj moves closer and clasps her hands lying on her lap, She shakes her head and kept on going “Not that I expected anything else from him, eight years ago I smothered all my expectations but you know what I felt today wasn’t sadness it was Disappointment…”She looks at him remorsefully “I was disappointed not at him but disappointed at myself… I was disappointed as I couldn’t even fulfill a single role in my life. I was so busy in being Anurag’s wife that I failed all other roles, I failed as a daughter as a sister and as a mother… “Mr. Bajaj tried to interrupt when she shook her head in negative at him “No Mr. Bajaj, not today, I know you will tell me how many good traits I have and everything but this is the truth and, today after seeing him I realized how much of a power I gave this man over me that ones he left my side, I became nothing a nobody…”

She exhales loudly “You remember you once told me “People treat us the way we treat ourselves” and as I think about this, I realize maybe people treated me like garbage because I let them treat me like one but not anymore…” the fire in her eyes returns “Not anymore no one again will ever treat me like trash ever again, this time I won’t be the pawn in someone’s chess game I’ll be the player…” she said with new-found determination.

Bajaj listened to each word intently while stroking the back of her hand with his thumb “Prerna…”

She looks at him and he raises his eyes to meet hers “You know I told you the best revenge is the one in which you don’t lose yourself, no matter what you want to do to them just don’t get lost in it, you might say all I see are the good traits in you but that’s not true, I have seen your flaws too but I choose to overlook them and not let them shade the good in you, we all make good and bad decisions in life but a better person is the one who takes the responsibility of his decisions and bears with the consequences and that’s what I have learned from you…” He reminds her gently holding her hands and she nods at him making him smile.

He went all silent still holding her hands as if he is in dilemma to whether say it or not, when her pull on her hands brought him out of his reverie, he looks up to see her raising her eyebrow asking him about it, he shakes his head and holds her hand tightly then looks her in the eyes and say “If one day Prerna you find the strength in you to forgive…. Will you forgive?”

Prerna's facial expressions turn rigid “Forgive who Mr.Bajaj...Anurag???” he could see her getting dejected and about to pull herself back to stand up when he tightens his grip on her hands “I’m not asking you to forgive him now, I just asked would you ever consider forgiveness an option Prerna…”

She sighs “If I ever find forgiveness as an option, I will firstly forgive myself before I forgive anyone else, Mr. Bajaj, I want to forgive myself, for not being there for my daughter, for not tending her needs, for not protecting her and as far as Anurag is concerned, his betrayal has left the wound in me that no salve in this world can heal even if one day magically I find the strength to forgive him with these circumstances nothing will ever be the same…” She says with the final tone.

He sighs, never in his wild imagination he thought there would come a day when he will hear Prerna utter words like these, Basu has screwed up so big this time that no apology could undo it. He never wished for this woman to change this way to turn so bitter but that is how it is, a person who walks out of the storm is never the same and, who knows it better than him.

********************

Next up would be sneha and Bajaj....

person who walks out of the storm is never the same and, who knows it better than him.

Ahh lovely update. ♥️👍

I can’t write anything now 😭😭😭

This one is so beautiful 😍 that I can’t find words to describe 😭❤️😛❤️❤️

Dear I will write my comment until Wednesday night because I have exams on Tuesday so that’s why 🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

And I need to read both parts again and again ❤️😛🤗

Read both the parts....loved them to the core......❤️

You write beautifully..... 😊

Eagerly waiting for the third (Sneha and bajaj's) part...

Poor Prerna fighting the nightmares about her baby. Bajaj is always there for her to console her and to calm her. I love what Prerna said to Bajaj. She gave too much power to her ex that she never fulfilled other relations in her life and she is with nothing and no one now. She realized that she needs to value herself for others to value her.

Looking forward to Sneha-Bajaj story. Please continue soon.

Love this a lot 👍🏼 waiting for more

This is so beautifully written Diya
