The car of the Bajajs came to a halt in front of the Basu Bari. Rishabh got out of the car.
' Showdown time, Prerna.' said Rishabh and forwarded his hand. She smiled and placed her palm on his and got out of the car.
A hush fell over the crowd in the party of the Basu Bari.
'Mr.Bajaj? Prerna?'
The guests talked amongst themselves in whispers.
' Apne pehle haar ka jashn Manane aayi ho kya, Prerna?' Ronit asked.
' I am not answerable to you! And, Yeh main haar ka jashn Manane aayi hoon ya Jeet ka, Yeh toh kuchh hi der mein pata chalega.'
Prerna shrugged off and turned to Anurag.
' Told you, Mr Basu, I will come to see how the things get spoiled. And look, I am here.' said Prerna and smirked.
' But this time things are different. I will win and you will lose.' said Komolika.
' Bad, so bad Komolika Chaubey Basu. Don't you know that when two people talk, third party SHOULDN'T INTERFERE??? Said Prerna. Fire was burning in her eyes.
Rishabh stood beside her with a smile on his face.
' Jayye, bags Apne bags pack kijiye.' Prerna continued.
'What?'
' Why?'
' Yeh ghar ab Humara hai. Matlab Bajaj's property. It's not 50 percent share of the house this time, but whole.'
' How is this possible! We had mortgaged this house's 50% share! This is impossible!You can't take it! Rest 50% is still ours And Yeh ghar Basus ka tha, hai aur rahega! said Nivedita.
' That's wrong, Miss Basu.' said Rishabh and continued,' The house is legally mine. I transferred it to my youngest daughter Sneha's name. Unlawfully, your Brother and his wife snatched it. Using law, we took it back. That's it! We didn't snatch, but took back what is ours. And jahaan tak baat Rahi aapki share ki, let me explain to you all how we have 100% share of this house. '
He turned to his wife and said,' Prerna...'
' Yes, Rishabh.' She took out an envelope from her purse and handed it to him, who literally threw it on Anurag Basu's face.
He continued,' 9 saal pehle I had 50% share of this Basu Bari. Before I left abruptly, I transferred it to my unborn child's I mean Sneha's name. By means of fraud, Mrs Komolika Chaubey Basu took it. She didn't realise that unless and until Sneha becomes 18 years of age, no one can can be the owner of that property. Only Prerna or I can be the legal guardian till then...So...'
' But baaki 50 percent share?' asked Tapur.
Prerna sighed and said,' Common sense... atleast common sense you should have. Your Bhabhi mortgaged their share of the house. The bank to which it was mortgaged, belongs to an international banking system. We simply bought the 50% share. Now, if we do simple calculation, 50 + 50 equals to 100... So, the Basu Bari now belongs to Bajaj family.'
' But this deal... You couldn't snatch nor spoil it. Now we will revive our business.' said Anurag.
' How many times I have to say you that instead of always listening to your heart, listen to your brain.' said Rishabh and looked at his wife, who smiled.
'What do you mean?' Anurag asked.
' Simple, Mr. Basu. You should have done a background check before signing this deal.' Rishabh replied.
' Didn't understand, na? Well, let me say it clearly.' said Prerna. She gave a glance to everyone of the Basus and continued,' Mr Dixit, the one you have done deal with is a partner of SBP, the sister concern of KBP... So... Do I need to explain more or can I expect that you atleast have 0.1% common sense?'
'Cheater! Fraud!' Ronit yelled.
' Who? Me? Tsk tsk, Ronit. At least be sensible.'
' You...'
' Hush ... Pack your bags quickly. Just two hours you people have in your hand.' Prerna glared at him.
Anurag was a statue. He was speechless. Rakhi said softly, 'Karma is playing its own game.'
Mohini began her pleading.' Tum Aisa kaise kare sakti ho Prerna... Apne Kakababu ke baare mein socho... please...iss Umar mein woh kahaan jayenge...itni stone hearted Kyun ho tum?'
' Stone hearted huh? Waise I don't want any lecture from you, Mohini Basu...' said Prerna and sat on the sofa.
Rishabh said,' Khade Kyun hai aaplog? Packing nahi karni kya? Jayye, Apne kapde aur Kucch saaman pack kar lijiye.'
Two hours later:-
' Aaj mujhe shaanti Mili. 9 saal...9 saal pehle isi din ko dekhne ki side ki thi maine. Aaj mera Sapna poora hua hai...' said Prerna.
Rishabh looked at the empty house and said to her,' Ab kya Karen is ghar ka?'
' Bandh rahega Yeh ghar ab. Hamesha ke liye.'
' As you wish, Mrs. Bajaj.'
With that, Rishabh Bajaj and Prerna Sharma Bajaj closed the last door of their past and stepped into their beautiful present and future with their two daughters, Kukki and Sneha and later their own progeny, their son, Shravan joined them.
Done!
