I'm sorry I couldn't update my ss Mon amour. So I wrote this to compensate, hope you'll like it. Also here, anupre are a litttle bit closer than they are on the show.
"Look at her bhai, she looks like she doesn't want to be here. What happened? Is she sad that her family is angry with her choice?", Tapur quizzed Anurag.
Anurag just looked at Prerna unable to say anything back.
" Tapur, it happens, she chose a rich guy who happens to be older. Her family is upset. But I'm sure they'll get over it when they'll get those lavish gifts in fact... ", anupam faltered when Anurag gave him a death glare.
"anupam I'm telling you for the last time, if say anything remotely similar to this about her... ", Anurag stopped when he realized he was threatening his own brother in law. Something so out of character for him. It's Prerna. It's just her. She does something to him, he's willing to do things he's never done...just for her. Anupam and Tapur give each other quizzical glances as if asking what happened to him. Both look bewildered.
Anurag tries to get the reigns of the situation back before it gets out of hand and nivedita gets upset.
"look anupam all I'm saying is Prerna is not a gold digger. Not even close. I know her. You've got it all wrong about her. " anupam stands embarrassed.
"Bhai I'm sorry from Jiju's side. I know Prerna di is your friend. You know her better. I'm sorry too, " Tapur says concerned for yet brother.
"No need to be sorry Tapur but we need not to talk about anyone's personal choices. They have a right to choose for themselves.", Anurag says safely, seeing the glint in Tapur's doe shaped eyes.
Anupam leaves and a laughter fills the room and Anurag visibly stiffens.
"Babbyy...i missed you. You look so beautiful. Badi Didi, Dekha meri choice. Ab har Koi mujhse jealous hoga.", Naveen says when he sits beside Prerna and clutches her shoulders tightly.
Prerna shifts uncomfortably and Anurag holds himself back while forming his hands into tight fists. He's disgusted by the vile look in Naveen's eyes. He proceeds to get him off Prerna when he is stopped by Mohini. "Anu, what are you doing? ", she questiones him.
" Woh mom, I had to talk to Naveen babu over an important issue", Anurag lies.
" Now is not the time Anu, we have the ceremony starting. Later. ", Mohini says in a final tone.
Anurag defeatedly stands there when his eyes meet Prerna. She avoids his gaze as if almost afraid he would see through her lies. But stares right back with vulnerability when Naveen's touch becomes too much to handle. Tapur, having noticed all the scenario, gleams wickedly and says, " Naveen babu, for a 48 year old, you are quite hormonal. We have a holy ritual going on, let her go for a moment ". Naveen looks embarrassed for a moment and tries to laugh it off but retreats when he sees everyone eyeing him. Mohini chides Tapur but she pays no heed. She instead looks at Anurag, him giving her a grateful look. Tapur and Prerna smile at each other in a mutual understanding.
The Aashirwaad ceremony proceeds, now was the time for photographs. Anurag's blood boils when he looks at Naveen holding Prerna again. Now even Tapur can't help him. frustrated he decides to leave and head to his room. When he reaches the stairs behind the stage, he hears people mumbling.
"listen Prerna you're mine, now smile. I won you. I paid your family's loan and didn't even tell them. Isn't it why your marrying me? For compromise. But don't be under any impression that I won't make you mine in every way. ", Naveen's hands tightens on Prerna's waist, away from everyone's eyes and he has trouble containing his anger. He sees Prerna shudder when some high-class housewives talk to her in a condescending tone laced with brutal words. Things get worse when his mother joins in accompanied by some low-toned remarks by her own family.
Suddenly Anurag wanted to punch something.
The truth hit him like a truck. He was right all along and much to his dismay, they all were practically harassing her. Suddenly without any notice, Naveen roughly pulls Prerna to the dance floor with a bottle of whiskey in his other hand, constantly drinking.
He spins Prerna and she loses her footing. Anurag jerks in motion, to help her up when Tapur stops her.
"Bhai..." She didn't need to say anything more.
Tapur marches upto the dance floor . She moves swiftly on the dance floor, and steps in between Naveen and Prerna. She places Prerna's sari where Naveen rumpled it. Naveen is too busy dancing to notice now when he's too intoxicated. Tapur breaks into a sudden move and purposely pushes Naveen and he falls straight to the floor.
Everyone rushes to him when Prerna stops Mohini and makes an excuse to be in her room.
Prerna, runs to the guest room, trying to unsuccessfully hold her tears. She can't handle it anymore. Everyone was blaming her. Accusing her of being a gold digger. A part of her wanted to scream out the truth, the other part knew she had to stay quiet for her parents sake and on top of that Anurag. That infuriating man. She couldn't help but be exhausted and enamored by him at the same time. She's exhausted by giving him excuses and holding onto the truth. At times, she wanted to tell him because he was so genuinely worried, it touched her greatly.
He was enamouring no doubt, never has she seen a man so respectful and honorable. He treats everyone right, the woman who would have him would be lucky. But her life is bound to be miserable. Because she chose it to be. The way Naveen touched her, she felt disgusted. He had no shame. He made her feel like an object, the worse thing a man can to do a woman. Suddenly all of it rushed back to her and she ran with all her might to the guest room sobbing, when suddenly she was pulled into a room with a hand on mouth. The fear in her eyes evaporated when she saw Anurag.
"Anurag? What are you doing here? You scared the shit outta me!", Prerna nervously exclaimed in a single breath.
