Prerish FF : Against all odds

3. Repercussions

Next morning came a little early for Rishab Bajaj. He didn't sleep a wink last night sitting in the same position looking at his wife's beautiful and innocent face .

"she looks so beautiful and innocent while asleep,far younger than her years" He muttered to himself "what would it be like to wake up next to her everyday , everymorning only to have her in my arms her face next to mine" he wondered but alas he would never get the pleasure of having that joy as today she would leave him forever.

"she is sleeping late than usual" he thought "maybe her pregnancy is kicking in''

He looked at the clock and saw it was 7 so he went to the washroom to get ready for his day. Prerna woke up from the sound of water running and looked by her bedside only to see its half past 7. "Oh shit how can i sleep so late" she got up from the bed the same moment Rishab came out from the bathroom fixing his tie. She looked up at him to see his tired eyes and wanted to speak to him about yesterday but he didn't let her start as he don't want to hear her reject him again. "Mrs. Bajaj i will be leaving for office and also take kukki with me to drop her at school"

"let me freshen up and...." he cuts in between "its okay , Mrs. Bajaj i will tell Ramu kaka to prepare breakfast for us. You shouldn't hurry, its not good for you in this condition and also me and kukki have to live by ourself from tomorrow" he spoke the last bit quietly.

After half an hour when Prerna came out from bathroom Mr. Bajaj and kukki had already left. After having her breakfast, Prerna tried calling him to talk to him but his phone was silent as he was in a meeting. Thinking about his dejected face this morning, her heart ached. So she messaged him atleast to say that she don't want to leave him

" Ummm...Mr. Bajaj, I don't want to leave you and Kukki. Meri khamoshi ko kal aapne meri manjoori samajh li. Mein ab Anurag se pyaar nahi karti. Aap jaldi se ghar aa jaiye phir baat karenge. Main aapki intezaar karoongi"

Rishab on the other hand kept back to back meetings that day so that his mind remained occupied and didn't have the time to look at his phone.

It was around noon when Prerna was searching for her pregnancy reports. Little did she know she misplaced it with another file of Mr. Bajaj which he had given to Nivedita about some new business venture as he hold a part of Basu Industries and now her file was lying in Nivedita's study table .

Downstairs the postman came and said that a post arrived for Mr Bajaj. Anurag who had stayed home so he can talk to Prerna without Mr. Bajaj lingering nearby jumped at the opportunity to talk to Prerna in the guise of giving it to Prerna.

Taking the sealed packet from the postman he looked at it when he saw Prerna's mother and sister entering the mansion.

"Arre veena aunty aap....andar aayiye, main kisiko bhejta hoon Prerna ko bulane ke liye" he said

"Nahi beta, mujhe tumse baat karni thi" Veena replied

"Haan batayiye naa kya baat hai" asked Anurag

" Kal main Prerna se mili thi aur use ek ultimatum di thi ki ya toh woh uss Bajaj ko talaak de dein yaa humare saath rishta tod dein" Veena said giving him the details of the conversation she had with Prerna at the temple.

"Kya? Aunty you are the Best, ab toh Prerna Mr. Bajaj ko chod hi dengi" Anurag replied happily and thought that at last he will win Prerna and Mr. Bajaj will loose.
