Chapter 5:-
' Prerna...'
Prerna's eyes lit up hearing his voice. She was comfortable only around him. Rishabh sensed something different in her for the first time.
' Rishabh, tum Yahaan raho. Tanvi, chalo.'
' Yes, Mom.'
' Aur Haan Rishabh, main Chandu Ko Prerna ke liye khana banane ke liye bolti hoon.'
' Thank you, Maasi. But maine Chandu Ko bol diya hai Prerna ke liye khana banane ke liye.'
' Accha theek hai.'
Maasi and Tanvi went out.
Rishabh was fumbling for words. Prerna's memory loss has turned his world upside down. Forever.
' Aap Kucch kehna chahte hain?' Prerna asked.
' Haan woh aapko...I mean... matlab...'
He was never good with words when it came to expressing himself. He cursed himself for that.
' Aap theek hai na? Dard toh nahi Ho rha hai na?'
Just then, he received a call.
He saw the name of Mr.Mehra in the caller ID.
' Yes, Mehra.' he went aside.
Prerna scanned the room.
If I am married to him, then why aren't our pics on the wall? And who are those people outside?
She was confused...
' Haan, Mr.Mehra. You handle all the work till next week. Mrs. Bajaj needs care so I won't be able to come to office. Jo bhi important meetings hain, woh conference calls mein honge and if there is need to sign important documents, send them to me.'
' Okay. As you wish, Sir.'
There was knock on the door.
Chandu stood there with the food tray.
Rishabh took the tray from him.
' Sir, aap kuchh nahi khayenge?'
' Filhaal nahi. Tum jao.'
Rishabh was hesitating to feed Prerna with her own hands. He never fed anyone with his hands. Not even Kukki. Earlier, Tanvi or Maasi used to feed Kukki and then Prerna.
He pushed away his hesitancy and sat beside his wife with the food.
' Prerna, aap ka khaana.'
' I don't want to eat now.'
' Kyun?'
' Bhook nahi lagi hai. And pehle aapko mujhe kuchh sawalo ke jawab Dene hain.'
' Sawaal? Kaise Sawaal?' Rishabh asked, surprised.
' Humare shaadi ke photos Kyun nahi hai wall pe? '
Rishabh- ' Woh... Baat aise hai ki hunare saare photos humare previous ghar mein hain.'
' Previous home?'
' Baad mein. Now eat...'
Prerna made a cute a pout and nodded her head in a no. She cute so cute and innocent, which she was.
' Yeh kya bachpana hai, Mrs.Bajaj. You need to take your medicines, na?'
Prerna made a sulky face.
Rishabh smiled seeing her cute antics. He was about to feed her a spoon of broth when she said,' Aap na muskurate hue bohot acche lagte hain.'
Rishabh's hand freezed. No one, literally no one had said to him this before. In a instant, he felt that someone opened the closed doors of his heart. Old human feelings awoke in him, which had been buried deep inside for years.
Is this the beginning of something beautiful?
' Kaha kho gaye ho aap...'
' Kuchh nahi...'
Prerna finished her food.
' Your medicines.' said Rishabh handed her the medicines.
' Kadwi...mujhe nahi pasand.' said Prerna after taking the medicines.
' Par khana padega aapko har roz, jab tak aap theek nahi ho jaati hai and aapka baby bahar nahi aata hai.'
' Sirf mera? Yeh baby toh hum dono ka hai na?'
Rishabh's eyes became moist. He fumbled and said,' Haan, humara baby.'
' Aap rest kijiye... Main Abhi aata hoon.'
He made her lay comfortably and put the comforter on her.
After somehow finishing his dinner, he went out on the terrace.
'Aisa kabhi nahi hua mere saath... I never wanted to hurt her...but...Yeh kya ho rha hai...'
He was cursing himself for Prerna's condition.
' Rishabh...' Maasi kept her hand on his shoulder.
' Maasi... Main Yeh nahi chahata tha aur na hi chahata hoon ki woh hurt ho. Unhe dukh ho. Main bass unki Khushi chahata hoon. Par unki Khushi ke liye maine kitni badi galti ki...aaj mere wajah se...sirf mere wajah se she is hurt. She is in pain...she lost her memory...'
' Rishabh, beta, we can't change what's written in our fate. But let me tell you one thing. Everything happens for our own good. Dekho, aaj iss accident ke wajah se hi tumhe woh Mila jo tum khone wale the. Apne baare mein na Socho, but Prerna aur bacche ke baare mein socho.'
' Thanks, Maasi. Maa ke Baad sirf ek aap ho jinhe main sab kuchh Bata Sakta hoon.'
' Aise nahi Bolte beta. Tum toh mere bete ho na? Apne Maasi Ko dhanyawad nahi Dena chahiye. '
' Hmmm.'
' Ab jao. Kukki and Prerna Ko tumhari zaroorat hai.'
Rishabh nodded and went downstairs.
' Aaj maine tumhare andar mere purane Rishabh Ko dekha. Wahi Rishabh, jo Apne apnon Ko lekar insecure hai. Jinhe woh humesha Apne paas Rakhna chahata hai. Mujhe maaf karna Rishabh. Aaj Tak mere saare galatiyon ke liye maaf karna beta...'
Rishabh slowly crept in his room and laid on the couch, but sleep was far away from him.
All his memories with her came in front of his eyes.
Their first meet, his marriage proposal, his acceptance of her baby, their marriage, Swiss trip... Everything...
' Kaash main aapse pehle Mila hota.' he said it again and again. A lone drop of tear fell from his eyes. He wiped off the tear from his cheek and vowed to protect her forever, till his last breath.
He was one to wake up first next morning.
He smiled at the two sleeping women.
He wasn't a caressed his daughter and softly said,' Wake up, Princess... It's morning.'
' Good Morning, Papa.' said the little one and kissed him in the cheek.
' Chalo baccha. Ready Hona hai na? '
' No school.'
' Why?'
' I want to stay with Mumma.' Pointed Kukki.
' But princess you have school today!'
' No!:
' Agar aap Mumma ke saath rahoge toh Mumma aapko lekar busy rahegi. Mumma Ko rest nahi milega. Kya aap chahte ho Mumma Ko rest na mile and woh hurt ho?'
' No, Papa. School time.'
'That's my girl!' He kissed her on the forehead and took her for freshening up.
' Aap Yahaan Daadi ke saath breakfast karo. Hum aapke Mumma Ko uthakar aate hain.'
Besides the Bajajs, the Basus were also in the dinning area.
Rishabh instructed Chandu to make healthy breakfast for Prerna and went in his room.
' Nautanki dekh lo toh in sab ki. Abse har Roz Naya drama. Manhoos ladki. Pehle mere Anu ko and ab is Bajaj ko apne unglion pe nacha rahi hai. Amnesia! My foot. Sab natak hai iska. Taaki uska pati use chorkar na jaye.'
' Bass, Mohini ji. Aap bohot der se ulta pulta bol rhi hai. Ab aur nahi. Meri beti ke baare mein aur koyi shabd nahi.' said Veena. She had just come in the house when Mohini started her blabbering.
'How dare you Veena, tum mere ghar mein kya kar rhi ho? Kisne andar aane diya tumhe? Tumhari aukat kya hai ki tum yahaan aao?'
Veena squirmed.
' Unki Yeh aukat hai ki woh iss ghar ki Malkin Prerna Bajaj ki maa hain. Samjhe aap, Mrs. Basu?' Said Maasi.
Mohini- 'How dare you...'
'Oh please. Ek bacchi Yahaan hai. Apni giri huyi izzat Ko aur Matt giyarre.' said Tanvi and turned to Kukki and said,' Baccha, chalo hum Kahi aur breakfast karte hain.'
' Veena ji, Chaliye yahaan se.'
' Ji woh Prerna...'
' Prerna Abhi so rhi hai. Rishabh Gaya hai use uthane. Tab tak humare kamre mein Chaliye. Baatein karte hain. Yahaan rehne seh toh behtar hai wahaan rehna.'
Mohini shot a deathly glare at them, but without paying any attention, they went away.
Prerna stirred in her sleep when her husband pulled away the curtains and let the sun rays in.
' Uhhh...'
' Good Morning, Mrs. Bajaj.' said Rishabh.
Prerna opened her eyes.
' Is it morning?'
' Yes, it's 8 am.'
' Good Morn...' Prerna abruptly stopped on the middle of her sentence.
' Kya hua?' concerned, Rishabh asked.
' Aapko main aapko aapke Naam se bulati thi ya Kucch aur...'
' Aap mujhe Mr.Bajaj bolti thi. But ek baat bolun, Rishabh sounds better.'
' Haan. Apna lagta hai. I do think know what relationship we shared before this, but I hope you won't mind me calling you Rishabh, Mr.Bajaj.'
' Thanks, Mrs.Bajaj.'
Prerna freshened up. Chandu brought in her breakfast. Veena came in.
' Mrs.Bajaj, aap apni maa ke saath rahiye. Main Kukki Ko school drop karke aata hoon.'
' Okay. Take care.' Prerna smiled.
Rishabh smiled back.
' I will.' he said a went out.
Veena- ' Ab kaisi hai tu meri bacchi? '
' Theek hoon, Ma. Aur Baby bhi.' said Prerna and caressed her belly with a smile.
' Chal aa. Main tujhe khilata hoon.'
Just then Rishabh came in.
' Aap dono Ko disturb karne ke liye sorry, but Prerna needs to have these medicines after breakfast.'
' Table pe Rakh dijiye. Main khila dungi.'
' Subah bhi woh Kadwi medicine hai?' Prerna asked.
' Haan.' Rishabh said, trying to hide his smile.
Veena noticed his smile. Her heart got filled up with contentment and happiness. She could see a beautiful future. Anurag was good, but Rishabh is the best, for her daughter. She concluded.
Rishabh went out.
' Kukki, Chaliye. School time.' said Rishabh and took her school bag.
He clasped her tiny hand and proceeded towards the car.
Meanwhile:-
' Prerna ne mujhe dhikha diye hai. Mere saath Dhokha hua hai. Aisa Kyun Kiya Prerna ne? Kyun? Woh video...'
' Shayad ab unke beech ki dooriyan mitt gayi ho. Aur teri jagah Prerna ne Mr.Bajaj Ko Bitha diya ho. Dil kisiki nahi sunta, Anu. In this one and a half month, I have noticed many changes in Prerna, which you all failed to notice.' said Anurag.
' Anu, please move on. Dekha na, Prerna move on kar chuki hai life mein. Tujhe bhi karne chahiye, in fact, karna padega. Because kabhi bhi, chahkar bhi Prerna tere life mein lautke nahi aa Sakti hai. Isiliye behtar hoga kind tu Apne past Ko bhul ja and zindagi mein aage badh.' said Nivedita.
'Par kaise Di. Kaise bhoolun main use?'

Days passed by...
A month later.
' Prerna, chalo garden mein chalein. You will feel better. And maybe baby wants to be outside too.'
' Aap Chaliye, main Kukki ke saath aati hoon.'
' Are you sure?' Rishabh asked with a raised brow.
' Haan baba. 100 prevent sure. Kukki hai na mere saath? Right Kukki?'
Kukki nodded.
' Aap dono maa beti... I can never deny you two.'
***
A lot changed in this one month. Few such incidents will prove the fact.
' Rishabh, aap couch pe Kyun sote hain?' asked Prerna, as soon as her husband came in their room after putting Kukki to sleep in her room.
' Woh aap injured hai... Isiliye... woh ...'
' Maine Kucch Kiya nahi tha na pehle ki uski wajah se aap mujhse naaraz ho aur couch pe so Rahe ho?'
' Nahi. Aapse main kabhi naaraz ho Sakta hoon kya?' Rishabh smiled and asked.
' Meri ek request hai aapse.'
' Kaisi request?'
' Aap please bed pe so jayye.'
' Par...'
' Please...'
' How...'
' Please...'
'Okay.' Rishabh took the pillow from the couch. He was nervous. Butterflies were in his stomach. He crept in the bed and slid into the comforter.
Prerna smiled her priceless smile and drifted off to sleep while facing him. But sleep was far away from him....
One day.
Rishabh entered his room to not find her anywhere.
' Prerna? Kaha ho aap?'
He heard the sound of running water. He went to the bathroom and found the door open. Peeping in, he saw her puking.
He came behind her and slowly started rubbing her back.
Another incident made was telling the news of the arrival of a little member to Kukki.
' Papa, Daadi said that I will be a big sister. Choti or chotu kahaan hai?' Kukki asked while playing in his lap.
Rishabh's jaw literally dropped. Seeing his face Prerna started to giggle.
' Papa tell na.'
Rishabh thought deeply for a minute or so and then said,' Baccha, filhaal toh chotu or choti Mumma ke tummy mein hai. Baby is playing hide and seek, beta. Baby will come once baby feels that he or she wants to come out.'
Prerna giggled.
' Aap bhi na, Rishabh.'
' Haww... Not fair, Prerna.'
The room filled with the echoing laughter of the couple. A confused Kukki just looked at them. She wondered, ' What is this to laugh?'
***
Cut to present.
Rishabh recieved a call and went out.
Soon after, Prerna came out with her daughter. Kukki ran down the stairs of the entrance and Prerna followed. Suddenly her feet slipped. She ewas just going to fall down when Anupam held her.
' Prerna, are you okay?'
' Hmm...'
Hearing the commotion, Rishabh came there.
' You are okay na, Prerna.' His heart literally came out from his chest.
' Yes... Unhone bachahya.'
' Thank you, Mr.Sengupta.'
Anupam smiled, acknowledging.
' Par aapne slip kaise Kiya?'
Upon inspection, Rishabh found oil on the stairs.
And in a few mins, he was in such a form no one could imagine.
His anger crossed all limits.
' Kisne Kiya Yeh???' his voice roared.
