Prerish || The Journey that made them

Strike 3 and out

Rishab was half expecting fireworks tonight either a new plan or Prerna might finally give up and give him his present nope she is not giving up so easily. But nothing there was nothing at all and he was actually disappointed. He has started enjoying the game only now. He came home to find prerna in room working on something on laptop. Nothing at all.

"Aap aa gaye khana lagwa do?"

"aapne wait kyun kiya? Maine bola tha late hoga aane main"

"Thoda kaam tha aur Yeh to karhi sakti hoon. Aap khane ka baad meri presentation dekh lenge client ke saath meeting thi aaj and we were slaughtered. We have convinced them for another meeting. I know you are tired but"

"Nahin its fine main dekh lunga"

She was silent all during the meal and then Rishab went and helped her with the presentation. Prerna was silent the whole time and let Rishab work making corrections here and there and kept listening to whatever he said intently. Rishab was surprised her face showed that she was sad and he was not liking it. She was never this quiet. Once they were done, she went straight to sleep.

"Prerna agar Mr.Bose ko leke you have issues"

"Nahin aise koi baat nahin hain aur agar hoti to main haan kyun bolti. I am just tired and it was a ba d day at work. Tomorrow presentation theek se ho jaye. Waise bhi I didn't have to do anything when I told the staff ki kaun aanewala hain they did everything and made sure of every detail without asking. I was surprised actually watching them"

"He used to come home a lot of times before so they almost all know him"

"That is why I let them all doIt their way, Waise bhi Jo cheez hoti nahin ya aati nahin who try bhi nahin karni chahiye. Jo aap hain who aap hain." and smiled and went to sleep.

After sometime he woke up to find Prerna missing. He saw a faint light in washroom and went near it to find prerna trying something with a mobile light. He switched on the light and she turned around quickly and tied the robe. The gift box from his birthday was lying next to sink.

"Aap soi nahin" Prerna

"prerna yeh." Rishab

"Nahin kuch nahin I was just trying, aap jaake so jaaye, I will be fine" and tried to walk out of the washroom.

"Prerna" and without thinking anything Rishab kissed her then and there. "You don't have to and you win. Ok.You win"

"This easy it is this easy to do this and I have been going crazy for the last one week." Rishab looked at her confused. Prerna slowly very slowly opened her robe and started laughing.She was wearing the night gown only.

"Strike 3 and out. I won I won" and she tried to run but Rishab caught her and heaved her up on her shoulders, while Prerna kept shouting" Aaahh Rishab chodiye, haar gaye hain to bache ki tarah behave mat kariye" and then put her on bed and caged her in her arms.

"Main haar gaya, main haar gaya."

"Aur nahin to kya. And I can't even believe ki aap itni aasani se maan gaye. Do you even realise mujhe kitni mehnat karni padi. Ahhh chodiye. You think this is easy roz shubh uth ke itna makeup karna kapde pehena itna sundar lagna par nahin kiya maine aur aap aap to bilkul saint ban gaye the"

"Oh, and you became the devil,isilye aapne meri bachiyon ko bhi nahin choda, don't think I don't know"

"I know that you knew but I had hoped"

"what?Kya hua abhi to bada uchal rahi thi finish the sentence" and nuzzled her neck.

"Rishab?"
