Hey guys, I am so impressed by all the fanfics here that I decided to start one on my own! right now my FF will hv almost all important chars, it wont be only AP or only Rishabh or only prem-mukti. in future i may concentrate on a few chars. Let's see how it goes depending upon response (if i get any). But it'll be 'different' hopefully :) I dont really hv the skills like Sammie, Vasu , Ambika , tonyparkaer but I am still going to give it a try :) but u r all free to tell me if it sux ;) actually i wud prefer ur honest opinion rather than just saying 'it's nice' for the heck of it.
It all starts with PRERNA ofcourse! The night when sleep eludes to many...and day begins for someone early...Read on:
Prerna is sleeping in Basu house. She gets a bad dream that komolika and debo are killing prem. She screams and gets up. tushar and anu rush to her room. Prerna tells them her dream.
Prerna: I am so worried abt prem. We must do something. We have to save him from komolika.
Anu: dont worry prerna. we'll save him.
tushar says angrily: he did so many bad things to our family, mom. and u are still concerned about him? what about my dad?
prerna: try to understand tushar. prem is innocent. It's all komolika,debo and aparna's fault. we have to help prem.
anurag: dont worry prerna. we'll not let our innocent prem go through any new pain. we'll protect our prem. he is our child...our baby, and it's our fault he is behaving like this. Prerna holds anu's hand and says "anu main hamare prem ke bina tarap rahi hu. main hamare prem ke bina nahi ji sakti. mujhe mera prem lauta do anu, lauta do.
tushar: come on. he knows very well what he is doing. he only wants money. no criminal in the world is born as criminal. even they are born as babies. their environment makes them criminals. doesnt mean we should forgive them all...if we forgive prem, then we'll have to forgive sharad as well.
prerna: enuf tushar! dont u dare to compare that sharad with my son-
anurag: tushar, why dont u just concentrate on the new project i hv asked u to work on?
tushar shakes his head and goes out.
prerna: anurag, why is sneha behaving like that?
anurag: she is depressed.
prerna: we must improve her as well.
anu: now that u r here, everything'll be alrite. u r the one who can save the kids prerna. we'll save both sneha and prem.
anurag puts his hand on prerna's hand and smiles assuringly. prerna hugs him. for several minutes, they stay like that. They are in heaven!!! then both realize that they r hugging, and move apart.
anurag : good nite, prerna. sam will get up and will be worried if she finds i am not in the room.
anurag goes. prerna remembers his word- 'Sam'. she remembers the moment she got anu married to sam. she feels sad and lonely. she cries alone. the man she loves, is now sm1 else's husband. and this is her own doing. how ironic! she feels trapped in her room. in his room , anu is helpless. he loves both prerna and sam, and wants both to be part of his life. "No , I can't really choose between them" He thinks to himself.
tushar goes back to his room and thinks about what he has just seen and heard. he starts feeling uneasy about the whole thing. The urge to just go and kill komolika and prem takes him over, but then he thinks abt reality. He doesn't sleep that night.
Anurag is also sleepless.
Prerna too is unable to sleep in her room. Alone, now she remembers mr. bajaj. Where could he possibly be? She thinks to herself....
.......Miles and miles away in a Sydney suburb, a man in a blue-&-white tracksuit watches the Sun rise from his favourite window of the house. soon, the room is filled with crisp fresh sunlight. He puts on his Reebok running shoes, gets his ipod ready, and shouts "honey I am going for a jog!" As he parks his car near the beach and starts running, he feels fresh and happy, just being in that beautiful place and enjoying his own company. He powers on the ipod...as the music takes him over..he finds himself slowing down. He stands still...watching the tides of sea...he is just staring at the horizon...the music softly playing in his ears.
"O Koyal Kuke Hook Uthaye Yaadon Ki Bandook Chalaye
Koyal Kuke Hook Uthaye Yaadon Ki Bandook Chalaye
Baagon Mein Jhoolon Ke Mausam Vaapas Aaye Re
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re
Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re"
He removes his wallet and sees the photo inside- of tushar, kasak, vishakha and cookie and him. taken on a holiday long ago. He remembers the photo ws taken by prerna. PRERNA....the name always brought a mix of guilt and relief to him. He remembers the latest news he had got about her- She was freed from jail, and was now living with anurag and sam. "She is living with anurag..." he thinks and smiles to himself.
"Ghar Aaja Pardesi Tera Des Bulaaye Re" He is again lost in prerna's thoughts when he gets distracted by the sight of a poor old man trying to put a big heavy box in his car. He goes and does the work for the old grandpa. He asks Grandpa if he needs more help. Grandpa thanks him for the help , blesses him and drives away, waving to him. He waves back and smiles. Deep down inside, Rishabh Bajaj was still very much an Indian man. Respecting elders came with the territory.
