Embroiled In Jealousy & Regret
It had been a week after Prerna had realised her mistake in blaming Rishabh for Anurag’s accident and since then she was trying to speak with him and try to sort things out but he seemed to be giving her a cold shoulder. He wouldn’t talk to her directly now, usually he would leave before she woke up and come home late at nights, if he had some work or something important to share he would either text her or leave a message with Chandu. Just like he did today, they were supposed to go to a party and Rishabh had asked Chandu to inform this to Prerna.
His behaviour was hurting her now, she knew she had been wrong but he wasn’t even giving her a chance to rectify her mistake. She got ready and by 6 Pm Rishabh had sent a car to pick her up from home and escort her till the venue where he was going to meet her directly. When Prerna reached there she was supposed to wait at the entrance for Rishabh, as soon as she stepped out of the car and walked to the entrance, the view had stunned her the party was happening at one of the sea side restaurants and since it was almost Twilight when she reached the sky looked breathtaking and it’s reflection in the sea made it more beautiful!!
‘Beautiful, hai na?’
A whisper in her ear made Prerna shirk, it took her a second to realise it was her husband who was now standing behind her. She merely nodded in response. Slowly, Rishabh wrapped his arm around her waist and they entered the party together. Rishabh started introducing Prerna to the others and was all calm and cool while talking to them while Prerna was feeling jitters, because Rishabh had still wrapped his arm around her and this time she didn’t mind it. She remembered how mad he got when she had removed his hand from her waist while clicking a picture at their house party. The reason was that she was affected by their proximity and she still is, her chain of thoughts broke when she heard someone almost yell her husband’s name! Both Prerna and Rishabh turned in the direction where the voice had come from and before either of them could react a girl came and ran into Rishabh’s arms, leaving both of them completely shocked!
‘Oh my God!! Rish, I missed you so so so much!!!’
Said the girl, Prerna was looking at them with her mouth and eyes wide open. Who the hell was this girl? And how dare she run into her husband like that? But the actual shock came when Rishabh reciprocated the hug and even SMILED!!! He NEVER smiled at any one except Kukki, Prerna had noticed it but here he was smiling in a hug with a girl.
‘I miss you too Kavya, where have you been?’ Rishabh asked breaking the hug. Kavya rolled her eyes and replied
‘Bas yun hi kabhi yahan kabhi wahan... tum toh jante ho na. Main zyada din ek jagah nahi reh sakti, abhi abhi London se wapas aai hun !! Tum batao? Waise tum toh bade hot lag rahe ho yaar?? This salt and pepper look is actually suiting you and by the way main kaisi at rahi hun??’
She spoke all this in one breathe and Rishabh chuckled at her
‘As always , you look Perfect!!’
Prerna was fuming with anger witnessing their conversation. And what made her more mad was that in two minutes time, Rishabh had seemed to have forgotten her. She cleared her throat to grab their attention and she went to Rishabh’s side.
‘Mujhe introduce nahi karvayenge??’ She asked him softly. He nodded and introduced her to Kavya as his wife making Kavya look at them in shock.
‘Oh god Rish, tum mere saath aisa kaise kar sakte ho? Itna bada dhooka, phir se? Tumne toh mujhse promise kiya tha ki Menka ke jane ke baad agar dubara shadi karne ka Mann kiya toh tum mujhse shadi karoge !!!’
Listening to her words Prerna felt angry, while Rishabh had a healthy laugh, adding to the fuel of Prerna’s anger, controlling his laughter Rishabh spoke
‘Well, jab shadi karne ka Mann bana liya tab sabse pehla khayal toh tumhara hi aaya tha lekin kya Karun tum toh yahan thi hi nahi....’
He shrugged his shoulder while trying to reason it out with her making Kavya pout, where as Prerna tried really hard to contain her anger and not end up slapping both her husband and Kavya. She couldn’t believe that her Husband who would barely speak to anyone, including her, was openly and so casually flirting with some girl. She was feeling jealous of the comfort these two shared and how casually they were flirting with each other. She couldn’t bare it anymore! She knew that she had to leave from the place before things would go out of her hand.
‘Mr. Bajaj, I think hume chalna chahiye’
‘Arey, itne jaldi? Party toh abhi tak start bhi nahi hui hai aur main Rish se kitne time baad mili hun. Please rukh jao na!!! We have so much to talk about !!’
Kavya whined and that was only irritating Prerna more. She spoke before Rishabh could reply and convince her to stay
‘Umm, Mujhe nahi lagta ki party jaldi shuru bhi hogi and ussi wajah se main keh rahi thi ki humne jana chahiye. Kal Kukki ke school main Parent-Teacher meeting hai agar hume yahan late hogaya toh kal school pohunche main bhi late ho sakta hai!!’
She reasoned out, she knew that Rishabh was very particular about Kukki and her school activities, so this would be enough to get him to agree with her and that is exactly what happened. They left the party but not before Kavya engulfing Rishabh into another long hug which he returned gladly. Prerna gave her a forced smile and walked outside holding Rishabh by his arm.
While walking towards the car Rishabh noticed this sudden change in his wife’s behaviour as if she was angry with him. He wondered what had he done now?
‘Mrs Bajaj, are you okay? You seem upset about something!’
He asked her while they waited in the parking area for their driver to arrive with their car.
‘Haan, main bilkul theek hun!’ She snapped at him, confirming his doubt. He freed his arm from her and looked at her carefully.
‘No, you are mad at me!!’ He said a little amusingly. It wasn’t the first time his dear wife was mad at him but this time it felt a little different.
‘No, I am not mad at you!!’ Prerna snapped at him once again, she looked at him and saw him grin at her. He seemed to be enjoying seeing her like this! She narrowed her eyes at him and asked him the reason behind his smile
‘Nothing, I am just happy today!!’ He said casually and the first thought that came across Prerna’s mind was of him meeting Kavya a few minutes ago and she didn’t even realise when she spoke her thoughts out loud
‘Oh yeah why won’t you be happy? After all aapki ex girlfriend se jo mile aaj aap itne Time baad!!! Dikh raha tha uske saath flirt karke aapko kitna accha laga’ She exclaimed angrily
Rishabh was pleasantly surprised at her reaction. He just gave her a vague reply because it would sound stupid if he told her that he was grinning because he enjoyed seeing her become mad at him. And he also decoded that the reason for her anger today was maybe the closeness she had just witnessed between him and Kavya. The truth was that Kavya was the only friend that Rishabh ever made in his life, that’s the reason she was so close to him and they were nothing more than that, but seemed like Prerna had assumed it other wise. Rishabh wanted to correct her but then something else came in his mind and he stopped
‘Ek second, aap issliye naraz hai kyunki main meri ex-girlfriend se flirt kar raha tha?? Seriously!? My closeness with my ex is troubling you??’
Prerna nodded as a reply and he left a sarcastic chuckle and replied in a harsh tone
‘Huh!! It’s surprising coming from you! After all, you too seem to be really close to your ex post our marriage!!’
‘Mere aur Anurag ke bare main aap jante the,. Yeh shadi ek deal ke base pe hui thi aur vo maine ussi ke liye ki thi yeh bhi aapko pata hai... aur ...’
‘ Aur uss deal ka ek clause yeh bhi tha ki aap meri family ko priority denge aur apne ex ke bare main bhul jayengi... lekin aapne kya kiya? Unke accident ke liye aapne mujhe blame kiya, Usse pehle bhi kitne baar aap unke kareeb rahi, jab unhone chot lagti aap sabse pehle react karti!! I know you love him but for god sake you are married to ME ! Chahe jin bhi halat main hui ho, jis bhi reason se hui ho, lekin shadi hui hai humari and I am not a saint Mrs Bajaj jo aapko har baar maaf kar dun!! Mere aur Kavya ke flirting se aapko problem ho rahi hai, ek baar sochiye ki jab Mr. Basu aapko Touch karte hain ya apke kareeb aate hain toh mujhe kitni problem hoti hogi!!’
Prerna was stunned listening to his words! She didn’t know that he was affected by Anurag and her closeness.
‘Lekin aap jante the ki main usse pyaar karti hun, aur uski fikar karti hun toh kyun aap itna affect ho rahe hain?’
‘Pyaar?? Really?? Ek baat baitye, pyaar main respect hoti hai, trust hota hai right? Lekin humari shadi hote hi Anurag ka aap par se trust uth gaya?? Just like everyone he assumed you married me for power and money!! Yeh jante hue ki aap shadi shuda hain vo aapke kareeb aate hain, lekin society main batein sirf aapke bare main hoti hain because that is the norm of Indian society, chahe kuch bhi ho blame ladki ko Karna hai aur yeh sab jante hue bhi vo aisi harkatein karte hain jise aapki reputation pe sawal uthta hai!! Aur rahi baat care ki, kya unhe fikar hai ki iss tarah baar baar aapko unke paas aane ke liye majboor karke vo aapko kitna hurt kar rahe hain?? Vo jante hain ki aap unhe dard main nahi dekh sakti usske baad bhi unhone apna accident plan kiya toh punish me and send me to jail. And you trusted him, but uska nateeja kya hua Prerna?? Takleef sirf aapko hui, pehle uss baat ki ke aapka lover death bed pe hai aur phir uski ke aapke lover ke wajah se mujhe bina wajah saza mili!!’
He ran his hand through his hair to calm himself down, but that didn’t help much, all the anger that was built up in him for the past one week was now going to explode
‘Anurag abh aapse pyaar nahi karta Prerna, aap ek zidd ban gai hain uske liye!! Vo bas aapko pana chahta hai kisi bhi keemat pe!! Aap janti hain jail se aane ke baad se main aapko avoid kar raha tha taki aapne gussa ko aap pe na nikal dun!! Iss baat ka gussa ki aap jis insaan ke liye uss din itna ro rahi thi apke uss dard ke peeche ki wajah vahi insaan tha! Jiske liye aap sab se lad rahi thi ussne yeh sab sirf mujhe aapse door rakhne ke liye kiya!! Pyaar main yeh nahi hota hai Prerna. Mana ke Anurag nahi jante ki aapne unke liye apni khushi ko sacrifice kiya hai lekin vo itna toh jante hain na ki aap kabhi apne sanskaron ko nahi bhulengi aur iss shadi ko nibhayengi. Main nahi janta ki aap humari shadi main khush hain ya nahi lekin itna zaroor janta hun ki aap meri beti ki maa banke bohut khush hain aur meri beti apni maa ke saath!! Kuch nahi toh at least uss wajah se toh Anurag aapko chod sakte hain na? Lekin nahi!! Vo aapko meri beti se tak dur karna chahte hain, pehle unhone meri beti se uska ghar cheen liya aur abh vo usski maa usse cheena chahte hain!!!’
He walked towards the end of the parking lot and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath he punched the nearest wall. Making Prerna flinch in fear. She turned and looked at Rishabh who had covered his face in his hands trying to calm himself down and one of his hands was bleeding. She was about to rush to him when their car came. Rishabh opened the door for her and quietly she sat inside in the backseat while Rishabh took the passengers seat, through out the journey she couldn’t stop herself from analysing his words!
Her tears were now flowing non-stop. His words were true! She now realised that ever since they had moved to Basu Badi, the distance between Anurag and her had become less. Anurag would never leave a chance to be alone with her, trying to convince her of going back to him, he would try to come close to her. And the recent game that he played with Rishabh was something that she never expected from him. He had changed. His love for her had changed. As soon as they reached home and got out of the car Prerna pulled Rishabh in a tight hug, talking him by surprise
‘ I am sorry!! I am so sorry Mr. Bajaj!! Mujhe nahi pata tha ki main itna galat kar rahi hun. Nahi samajh aaya mujhe ke Anurag ke pyaar main aapko itna hurt kar rahi hun!! But main kya karun? Chinta hoti hai aaj bhi mujhe uski, Aaj bhi uske liye dard hota hai!! Lekin yeh nahi janti thi ki anjane main aapko bhi dard de rahi hun !! Aapse shadi ki thi Anurag ko bachane ke liye lekin abh aapko hi phasa diya maine !! Kaki maa theek hi kehti thi, main jiske life main jati hun sirf problems create karti hun!! I am so sorry Mr. Bajaj, mere wajah se aapko yeh sab sehna pada. Anurag ne Kukki ka ghar cheen liya, ussne aapko jhuthe ilzaam main phansa diya sirf mere wajah se!!’
Rishabh closed his eyes feeling hurt and guilty for making her cry. He broke the hug and wiped her tears of her face!
‘Prerna, I am sorry I didn’t want to hurt you but, I am a human, at the end of the day I do feel hurt!! Mujhe aapke aur Mr. Basu ke pyaar se koi problem nahi hai, I know he’s your first love and you won’t be able to forget it but that the problem is with this closeness of yours! I trust that you’d never do anything to cross your boundaries,. It’s Anurag that I don’t trust at all!! And it’s not your fault that he has decided to come after me and destroy me! Yeh unka khud ka pagalpan hai...so please don’t blame yourself for that! And rahi baat mujhe hurt karne ki, pyaar main toh aksar logon ko dard hota hai na Prerna?? Jaise aapko hota hai Anurag ke pyaar main waise hi mujhe bhi hota hai... aapke pyaar main!!!’
Prerna’s eyes shot up and she looked at him in shock. Did he just confess to her that he loved her ?? As if understanding her unspoken thoughts Rishabh continued
‘Yes Prerna, I don’t know when and how but I have fallen for you!! It’s surprising to me too! I never thought that I am made for love but you know jab aapke aakhon main vo pyaar dekhta hun jo aap Anurag se karti hain, I wish ki vo pyaar aap mujhse karti. Jitni care aap unki karti hain utni aap mere liye karti! Lekin ek cheez main kabhi nahi chahunga Prerna, ki jo dard aapko unke wajah se mila hai vo dard kabhi bhi aapko mere wajah se mile!! I know you love him and not me, sometimes I feel stupid for feeling like this, for craving for your love but kya karun? Meri wife hai hi aisi ki usse pyaar main padne se main khud ko rookh nahi paya!’
Holding her hands in his he looked into her eyes, she still had tears in her eyes and now his own tears were threatening to fall
‘Janta hun ki aap iss shadi main sirf humari deal ke wajah se hain, but I want it to be more than that now. So Prerna, I am going to give you a choice today!! Agar aap chahe toh aap Anurag ke paas wapas ja sakti hain ya aap humari shadi ko ek genuine chance de sakti hain!! Pyaar ka matlab toh aaj bhi nahi janta but itna zaroor janta hun ki pyaar kisi ko bandhta nahi, toh main aap ko zabardasti ke rishte main kaise bandh sakta hun??’
Rishabh knew how difficult it was for him to speak the last few sentences, he was scared that she would leave him and Kukki for real and go back to her love. But he knew that if he wouldn’t let her know the truth and force her to be with them she would never be happy and for him, it was her happiness that mattered the most. He left her hand and walked a little ahead towards the garden area, he couldn’t face her like this, he felt weak right now.
Prerna on the other hand had a dilemma going in her mind! The person she claimed to love had hurt her a lot in the recent times, Rishab was right. Her love for Anurag had proven to be nothing else but a constant reason for her being hurt and humiliated time and again. While Rishabh was there only to shut those off who spoke ill about her, he stood by her side when fingers were being raised at her. Even today he was ready to let her go and live her life knowing fulling well that he bought her in his life only for the sake of his daughter’s happiness and right now it seemed like he didn’t even care about that!! Could she do this to him?? Could she do this to her daughter? Could she leave them? For someone whom she didn’t even know if she could trust anymore for not doing something reckless again that would end up giving her more pain?? Or could she let go of that love and embrace a new one??
She closed her eyes and took a deep breathe, she tried to clear her mind and imagine what she wanted her future to look like. As images of her daughter playing with her father came in front of her eyes, Prerna smiled to her self. She knew what she had to do! She slowly walked towards Rishabh and placed her hand on her shoulder, he quickly wiped his tears and turned towards her. She smiled weakly at him and spoke
‘Maine decide kar liya hai Mr. Bajaj, main meri life main pyaar ke saath aage badhna chahti hun....’
Rishabh closed his eyes at her words, she had chosen Anurag’s love, he assumed but thankfully his pain was short living
‘Uss pyaar ke saath jo meri beti mujhse karti hai, uss pyaar ke saath jo aap mujhse karte hain.... ‘
Prerna paused again when she saw a clear hint of surprise in his eyes as soon as he opened them. She nodded and cupped his face
‘ Main janti hun ki mere liye Anurag ke pyaar ko bhulna asaan nahi hoga, lekin itna zaroor janti hun ki uss ek insaan ke wajah se jise main pyaar karti hun, main Unn do insaanon ko nahi Kho sakti jo mujhse pyaar karte hain!! Aapne iss rishte ko main ek mauka dena chahti hun.. aapke saath aage badhna chahti hun’
Saying so she came closer to him and rested her forehead with his. Rishabh couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Prerna was ready to give him a chance? She was ready to move on with him. He pulled her in a hug and let his tears flow freely. This time they were tears of relief.
‘I promise you Prerna, I won’t let you regret this decision of yours!! Ever!!!’
He spoke softly, after a few minutes they broke the hug and Rishabh once again wiped her tears first and then his own. With a shy smile and a hope for a better tomorrow they entered their house hand in hand. Just one moment of jealousy and regret had lead to a beginning of something beautiful.
