The aftermath of a slap

This is set during the Mukti rape track, when Prerna is the only one who believes Mukti when she accuses Sharad of raping her. During a confrontation between Rishabh & Prerna, Rishabh slaps Prerna in front of the kids. The show did not have Rishabh apologize to Prerna, which I felt was a gross mistake.

This story is my attempt at redeeming Rishabh a wee bit! I had written this long back to sooth my own soul coz even years after the show ended I could not digest that Rish could ever raise his hand on Prerna and then not even apologize for it.

This is a work of fiction based on events from the show Kasautii Zindagi Kay1. I do not own the show or characters - copyrights reserved with Star Plus, Balaji Telefilms etc
