And they met again

Chapter 11

INT: The terrace (night)

The place was decorated with white curtains. The floor was covered with red balloons. In the centre, there was a round table with two chairs. The table was covered with a white satin cloth. On the table, there was a bottle of champagne with two wine glasses and a very big rose bouquet in the centre of the table.

And there entered the women for whom all those arrangements were done, Prerna. Prerna was wearing a black saree paired with a silver earring and did a minimal make up. She walked up to the table and looked around, happiness was clearly visible on her face. A soothing music was playing in the background. And to add to her beauty, the wind blew, making her hair swing. It was like, her hair were dancing to the music in the background.

Suddenly she felt a hand on her bare waist. She smiled a little as she understood who was the person.

Prerna- "Anurag" Anurag smiled and twirled her. Now she was facing him. He pulled her closer to him and sensuously tucked the hair strands behind her ears.

Anurag- "I wanna say something.."

Prerna- "hmmm..bolo"

Anurag kneeled down and took her hand in his. He took a deep breath

Anurag- "mujhe umar bhar jhelna pasand karogi?" Prerna smiled and she was about to say something when Anurag's phone rang and he irritatingly picked up the call.

Anurag- "hello, Kaun?"

Mr. Malhotra- "sir main Malhotra..Aap so rahe hai..?" and Anurag immediately opened his eyes and realised it was his dream.

INT: Anurag's Room

Anurag sat on the bed with an irritated look

Anurag- "Haan Mr. Malhotra boliye"

Mr. Malhotra- "Sir, aapki..London wale client ke saath meeting hai.."

Anurag- "thik hai main thodi der mein office aa raha hun.." and disconnected the call.

He remembered his dream and smiled on himself and slapped on his head.

Anurag- "Anurag tujhe pehle maa se baat karni hai..." he then jumped off the bed and went inside the washroom.

INT: Corridor

Anurag was walking through the corridor when he found the door of Prerna's room slightly open. He knocked on the door but there was no response from inside. So, he peeped in his head and looked around, but there was no one. He stepped inside the room and called for Prerna. He knocked the bathroom's door but it was already open.

He was not able to understand why, but he was not having a good feeling in his heart. He felt like something wrong is happening. Now, even that room didn't feel homely to him.He started searching for Prerna in all other rooms. By that time, everyone at home knew that she was not at home.

Everyone was sitting in the drawing room except Mohini and Moloy. Moloy was out of station due to some meeting.

Anurag was continuously walking back and forth. Simultaneously, he was trying to call Prerna's number but her phone was switched off. In the meantime, Mohini came back home. Anurag looked at her and immediately walked towards her and hugged her.

Mohini- "what happened?"

Anurag- "maa...Prerna is not at home. I am afraid, is she fine?"

Mohini remembered everything she said a night before to Prerna, "main bas chahti hun ki tum kal subhah hotey hi yahan se chali jao". Mohini had a satisfied smile on her face which doesn't go unnoticed by Nivedita. Mohini broke the hug and looked at Anurag
