Prerish || The Journey that made them

Chapter 24

Prerna went straight to Kukki's school to pick her up. There was media following her there also and she had become a spectacle for all. She went to the Principals office where Kukki was sitting alone in the corner with her friend Diya and even her mother Aditi was there. She went towards Kukki and her hair was dishelved and had marks on face. She hugged her and caressed her face.

"You are ok?" Prerna. But Kukki didn't say anything and moved her face to the other side. Prerna went near the principal.

"Mam,I am really sorry. Aap to jaanti hain Kukki is a good student she would never do something like this" Prerna

"Ek Minute so what do you mean ki meri beti ne yeh sab kiya hain aur woh bhi jaan much ke. Logo ko bina kisi reason ke attack karna tumhare family ki aadat hain hamari nahin" Aditi

"Aditi Please, bacho ko apni fight main saamil mat kijiye." Prerna

"Oh, please stop being these moral police when you don't even have one in the first place" Aditi

"That's enough Aditi" But then Prerna composed herself and "I know you are going through a tough time but I am sorry you don't get to use this language with me and yes meri beti aisa nahin karti hain kabhi hain. She doesn't get angry just like that unless and until provoked" Prerna said and Aditi was about to say something when the Principal interrupted them.

"That's enough both of you. Mrs Malhotra Mrs Bajaj is right you do not get to bring your personal matters in my school and involved kids in your fights. And Mrs. Bajaj I know Kukki is a good child and she never does things like this but what she did was also not right. So please both of you take your kids and go home.Both of them are suspended for the next 2 days." When they both tried to object the Principal moved forward a hand "I am sorry but you both need to get your kids to understand the situation and they need to understand the consequences of their actions. They were fighting like crazy. I will not allow such behaviour. Please thats enough you all may leave." Prerna took Kukki and came out of the cabin. They were about to sit in the car when Aditi cornered her.

"What else will you take from us?" Aditi

"That's enough." Shutting the door of the car with a force "I hope your husband recovers real soon from the accident." And Aditi looked at her surprised" What itna surprise kyun ho rahin hoon. Aditi you and I both know what happened.Please stop making this something more than that. Yeh sab karke tumhe kuch nahin milega haan par Diya par iska bura effect jaroor padega. And for the last time stop blaming my family for each one of your problems." Prerna and suddenly Aditi smiled and she had expected Prerna to be surprised but she just smiled and she was shocked.

"Ho gaya tumhara press ne le liya jo footage leni thi. All done. Aditi dekhti hoon shayad bewakoof ho nahin. You wanted news you got news happy and now ask your daughter to stay away from mine." She whispered making her near and with that she sat in the car.

"Kukki are you ok?"

She didn't reply anything. "Kukki look at me" and tried to turn her face towards her and she saw that she was crying and she remove the hat Kukki had worn to hide her dishelved face.

"No"Kukki

"Kukki kya hua tha aaj?" Prerna

Kukki buried her face in Prerna chest and Prerna just let her cry and kept caressing her face without saying anything. Once her voice died down she said "Kukki Please relax its ok. It's completely ok" They reached home and found that even Sneh awas crying hysterically.

"Hey Bhagwan aaj ho kya raha hain. Sneha kya ho gaya bache" and took her in her arms"Petu main darad ho raha hain Kya hua baba" and she checked her for any cuts or anything and tried checking her stomach. The little girl didn't speak much but had started saying some words and the first thing that she said was "dada !!dada!!"and Prerna realised what it was.
