Prerish || The Journey that made them

The afternath

The next 3-4 weeks went out in blur.

Week 1 – This week was hardest for Prerna and Rishab as these days were most critical. If the liver started to re grow perfectly no issues but there could be so many complications. Rishab was usually with Sneha and Prerna with kukki. Rishab had made arrangements that Kukki stayed with Prerna in same room. Kukki would sometimes wake up in night with pain and Prerna will sleep beside her singing beautiful songs and prayers. Everyday Rishab would come in odd hours of night to check on them and found them asleep.He will make sure that everything was ok and with a relief leave not knowing that Prerna was never asleep but waiting for him to join them. Exactly like when prerna would go to the Nicu to see Sneha and see Mr Bajaj sitting beside her incubator his back to the glass. She would just watch both of them together and leave not knowing that Mr bajaj knew everytime she was there and was waiting for her to come in.

Week 2- It had gotten better as they were past the complications and it was just the recovery. Prerna was also discharged but she stayed in hospital almost all day with kukki and sometimes with Sneha. Mr Bajaj and Prerna had started taking turns with Kukki and Sneha but there was an unforgivable silence between them. Prerna didn't argue with him didn't call him Rishab. She didn't even fight with him on any matter. It was almost as if they both had worn the mask of Mr and Mrs bajaj and none was ready to leave it. Whatever he said she agreed. Mr bajaj knew it was her manner to show anger and for now he just didn't have the strength to fight to discuss to make accusations. They were both stressed tired and on the edge. But they missed each other they wanted to talk to each other needed each other's support but none was able to say so.

Moloy Basu had come to meet Prerna and her daughters. Moloy basu was with Sneha in NICU. He was talking with Prerna and MrBajaj was watching them from outside. Just then Anurag came from behind and stood near Mr Bajaj.

"As you sow so shall you reap isn't it" Anurag. MrBajaj just smiled.

"Jo Kisi aur ka pyaar cheenle use kabhi pyaar nahin milta Mr Bajaj" Anurag and Mr Bajaj just lost control the weeks of extertion,pain,sleepless nights took its toll.

"You know what Mr Basu I am done. Cheena maine aapse Prerna ko mujhe jo sahi laga maine kiya na mujhe tab dar tha aur na ab uske consequences se hain. Jo hoga dekh lunga bharosha hain mujhe khud par apne pyaar par apni mehnat par apne decisions par. Aapko hain ya tha Prerna par aapke pyaar par apne aap par. meri galti ginwane se aapki kam nahin ho jayengi. Atleast I take the toll of my decisions don't blame others. So back off and I AM DONE" Mr Bajaj shouted and turned around and found Prerna with Mr basu

"Chale Anu? Take care of them Mr Bajaj" And blessed Prerna and they left from there.

After sometime Prerna also left and the fact that she didn't say anything or react hurt like hell.

Week 3 –

Mr Bajaj had started going to the office and they stayed alternate nights at hospital as both girls were better and were just staying at hospital for being on safe side. Mr Bajaj had insisted that only he will remain at night but Prerna had refused point blank. For the first time Prerna's stubbornness made him happy.

Prerna was walking along trying to look at some reports when she stumbled upon Komolika and Anurag.

"Prerna Hello! How is your daughter?" – Komolika

"She is fine. Thank you" prerna. Anurag made an excuse just left from there. Komolika followed Prerna.

"you must be so happy Prerna I mean jis Mr Bajaj ki jaan basti hain Kukki main unhone apni beti ko risk main dala tumhare beti ke liye. He must love you so much"
