Prerish FF : Against all odds

2. Decisions

Mr. Bajaj was standing in the balcony having his coffee and lost in thought. His mind drifted to the previous night when Prerna called him Rishab and a smile appeared on his lips.

*Rishab's Pov*

Maybe she took my name in flow, she was upset, yeah that was the reason.Today marks one month of my marriage with Prerna or you can say the deal marriage. But i cant seem to think of it as a deal now. I agree I married her for kukki but now I want to be her partner. I cant seem to ignore my feelings for her. Should I tell her what I feel for her? But she loves Mr.Basu. maybe I should release her from this unwanted marriage, then she could live happily with Mr. Basu. But she denied that she would be happy because he don't stake a stand for her. Argghhhh!!!! what should I do? Calm down Bajaj,mask your emotions,you can come to a solution later.

*Pov ends

Prerna came to their room looking for Mr.bajaj. she wanted to go to the temple today and also decided to take kukki with her as it was her day off.

"Mr bajaj" Prerna called out.

Rishabh turned to look at her "hmm?"

"Umm i am goin to the temple and i want your permission to take kukki with me" she asked

"Mrs.bajaj ,she is your daughter too. You need not ask my permission to take her anywhere with you ."

"Okay" then she beamed at him and turned to go.

"Mrs. Bajaj" Rishabh called out "wait for me,i would take both of you."

He put on his blazer and both went along with kukki.

Location : Temple

After offering their prayers, Prerna and Rishab came across her family. Seeing her mother and sister she went near them "maa...." Prerna called out.

Veena looked at her daughter and stepped towards her but seeing Mr Bajaj she held back. " maa..." Prerna called again and went to hug her but Veena stepped away. " Shivi, tell this lady to go away from my sight" Prerna's mother said looking at her younger daughter Shivani.

"I am sorry maa" Prerna said looking at her mother, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Sorry...? Your sorry won't make our Onu's heartache any less. You betrayed him by marrying this man" Veena said looking at Mr. Bajaj with disgust.

Mr. Bajaj was shocked seeing Prerna's mother supporting Anurag rather than believing her daughter. In that moment he knew he won't be able to win her mother's heart. Prerna's mother will not give him the place of her son-in-law, it will always be reserved for Anurag.

Not wanting their daughter Kukki to listen to then Prerna asked Rishab to take her to the car to which he complied and he held Kukki and both moved towards their car.

After her husband and daughter were out of her sight she again spoke to her mother.

"But maa,you know the truth why i did it"

"Par ab toh sab thik hai.ab kyun nahi chor deti iss insaan ko" Veena said to her

"Maa yeh aap kya keh rahi hai" Prerna was shocked at her mother's words.

"Haan thik keh rahi hoon aur agar tum iss insaan se naatarakhti ho toh maan jao tumhare maa maar gayi" her mother put forth her condition.
