Next morning....
Sunrays peeped in through the window falling on a beautiful sleeping face disturbing it's sleep. Prerna frowned and then opened her eyes. She got up and sat on the bed and picked up the photoframe and ran her fingers on it. The photo of her husband and her daughter.
Prerna- Good morning my baby. Good morning Rishabh.
Just when she whispered his name, the baby inside her womb kicked.
Prerna- (careseeing her bump) Good morning chota baby. Subah subah papa ka naam sunte hi mumma ko pareshan karna shuru kar diya aapne. Chalo ab hum jaldi se ready ho jate hain. Aaj hume doctor ke pass bhi jana hai na.
Prerna glanced at the frame again and kissed it closing her eyes. It had been 4 months away from them... away from her husband and her daughter. All these months without him she had seen a lot, endured a lot, but her belief was stronger than all of that. She knew he would come again and this time forever.
Flashback :
Prerna kept on looking at his retreating figure. As he stepped out of the threshold going away from her vision, Prerna closed her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Anurag looked at her and her tears brought back the uneasiness he had shrugged a few minutes back.
Anurag - Prerna, tumne divorce papers sign karke de diye the na Mr Bajaj ko ? Agar nhi diye to mujhe de do mai court me submit karwa dunga.
Prerna opened her eyes and wiped her tears.
Prerna- Thank you but uski zarurat nahi hai. Mera kaam hai mai handle kar lungi. (She said in a plain yet stern voice. Everyone else was confused seeing her behaviour.)
Moloy - Prerna beta, kya baat hai tum khush nhi lag rhi. Tumhe to khush hona chahiye.
Prerna- Meri duniya mujhse dur chali gai aur aap keh rahe hain ki mujhe khush hona chahiye.
Anurag - Prerna, ye kya keh rahi ho tum ?
Prerna- You... Mr Anurag Basu ! Boht khushi ho rahi hogi na tumhe. Afterall tum jo chahte the ho gya. Chale gye Mr Bajaj mujhe chhodkar. Yhi chahte the na tum... kisi bhi haal me mujhe hasil karna... kisi bhi haal me Mr Bajaj ko harana. Congratulations Mr Basu... aapke armaan pure hue. Mera pati aur meri bachhi dono mujhse dur ho gye.
Anurag - Prerna tum... tum ye sab kya kahe jaa rahi ho ? Aur tum... tum ro kyu rahi ho ? You should be happy. Tumne mujhe bachane ke liye Mr Bajaj se shadi kari thi. Tum zabardasti iss rishte me bandhi thi. You should be happy ki ye shadi toot gai aur hum dono sath aa gye after all you love me !
Prerna- (shouted) No I don't love you Anurag Basu ! I don't love you !
Anurag (shocked) - Prerna...
Prerna- Kya Prerna hn kya Prerna ! Kaha tha na maine tumse ki mai apni shadi me khush hu to phir kyu baar baar beech me aaye tum hn ? Kyu ? (Started crying)
Nivedita - (holding her by shoulders) Prerna please sambhalo apne aap ko.
Anurag - Prerna... maine jo kuch bhi kiya tumhari khushi ke liye kiya tumhe uss deal se azaad karne ke liye kiya.
Prerna- Kisne kaha tumse meri khushi Rishabh se dur jane me hai ? Maine kaha tumse aisa ? Aur hn kari thi maine unse deal ki mai unse shadi karungi aur vo badle me tumhare favour me sare evidences mujhe denge taki mai court me tumhe innocent prove kar sakun. Par ab vo deal meri zindagi ban gai thi Anurag. Jante ho kyu ? Kyunki unhone mere liye vo sab kuch kiya jo ek tumne kabhi nhi kiya. Unhone mujhe itni respect di jitni kbhi kisi ne nhi di. Jab jab tumhari family ne meri ya meri family ki insult ki he was there to support us. He was there to give it back. Meri maa aur meri behen ke sare tane chup chap sahe because he considered them like his own family. Tumhari maa ne mujhe kitni baar manhandle kiya... he was there to hold me then. Tumhari harkato se jab jab mai pareshan hui he was there to uplift my mood... he was there to wipe my tears. Khud itne weak the ki theek se khade bhi nhi ho paa rahe the lekin phir bhi meri maa ki bachane ke liye vo court aaye the. Jab mujhe fever hua tha raat bhar mere pass baithe rahe mera fever kam karne ke liye mere sir par cold water strips rakhte rahe. Jab jab maine apni health ke sath carelessness ki tab tab mera khyal rakha. Bhindi pasand nhi thi lekin khai just because maine banai thi. Kabhi kisi ke samne sir nhi jhukaya lekin khud ki galti na hone par bhi vo mujhe sorry bolte the. Mere bina kahe mere ki har baat samajh jathe the. Unhone mujhpar humesha trust kiya... itna jitna tumne kbhi nhi kiya... unquestionable, unshakeable, undeniable trust !
With every word Anurag's uneasiness kept growing. He couldn't help but feel a heartache when she referred Bajaj with his first name, the way she spoke of him with a smile on her lips and shine in her eyes made him more envious of him. He felt like a loser even after winning from him.
Prerna (continued) - He made me realise ki iss puri duniya me no one has the right to disrespect me no one has the right insult me or my family... not even your mother.
Anurag - Prerna ! Bhulo mat you're talking about my mom !
Prerna- Oh ! So you have a voice too but ye tab kyu nhi uthi jab itni baar tumhari maa ne meri aur meri family ki disrespect ki. Ye awaz tab kyu nhi uthi jab your mother and your sister called me a gold digger who married Rishabh for his money. (Turning to Mohini) Hn Mrs Mohini Basu... kya kaha tha aapne... mai gold digger hu, characterless hu, Anurag ki rihayi ke bahane mai Mr Bajaj ko attaract kar rahi thi, jaadu karti hu... pehle aapke bete ko fasaya phir Mr Bajaj ko aur agar unse zyada koi ameer milega to usse bhi fasa lungi. Agar mann mein kuch reh gaya tha to vo bhi aaj bol dijiye.
Mohini - Prerna... ye kaise baat kar rhi ho tum humse ? Are hum me se kisi ko thodi na pata tha ki tumne Bajaj se shadi Onu ko bachane ke liye ki thi. Aur aisa bhi kya kar diya tumne hn... ye mat bhulo ki tumhare ghar ko bachane ke liye bhi Onu ne Komolika se shadi kari thi.
Prerna- You Mrs Mohini Basu... aapke jaisa double standard insan maine aaj tak nhi dekha. Mana Anurag ne Komolika se shadi karke ehsan kiya mujhpar aur meri family par maine bhi koi kam ehsan nhi kiye aap sab par. Vo Naveen meri zindagi barbad karna chahta tha lekin maine ya meri family me se kisi ne bhi vo blame aapki family par nhi dala. Meri maa ko aapne fake robbery case me jail bheja lekin maine kuch nhi kiya aap par badle me koi case nhi kiya... kisi ko apka sach nhi bataya. Vo accident jisme mere baba ki jaan gai... vo aapke pati ke liye tha... mere baba ke liye nhi. Maine bhi Anurag ko bachane ke liye hi Rishabh se shadi kari thi. Anurag ne humse Bajaj Mansion chheena... Rishabh ne usse sabak sikhane ke liye iss ghar ko overtake kiya lein aap sabko yahan se nhi nikala... Aur ek baat jo aap sabko nhi pata... jiss accident ke liye aap mere pati ke peeche pad gai thi na vo accident bhi aapke bete ki hi planning thi... Anurag jaan bujhkar Rishabh ki car ke samne aaya taki vo unhe murder attempt me jail bhej sake. Aur to aur vo jo gunde aaye the na raat me ispar hamla karne vo bhi isne khud bulaye the.
Mohini - What !
Prerna - Kya hua... yakeen nhi ho raha hai Mrs Mohini Basu... apne bete se hi puch lijiye ya phir apne damad se.
Nivi - Onu ye Prerna kya keh rahi hai hn ? Tumne jaan bujhkar... how could you even do this ? Halat dekhi thi tumne apni... tum...
Anurag - Maine jo kuch bhi kiya tumhe pane ke liye kiya Prerna and I don't regret it.
Prerna- But I do regret it. I regret falling in love with you. I regret not exposing your truth to the police. I regret not sending you to jail for framing my husband in a fake attempt to murder case. Ek aur ehsan mera tum par. Kash maine kabhi tumse pyar kiya hi na hota Anurag to aaj meri life me itni sari problems na hoti. Sahi kehte the Rishabh... kash vo mujhe tumse pehle mile hote to aaj mere aur unke rishte me itni problems na hoti. Par ab mai tumhari vajah se apni life me aur koi problem nahi aane dungi.
She turned towards Moloy when she found his hand caressing her hairs.
Moloy - Sahi keh rahi hai tu boht ehsan hai tere hum par. Aaj Tak sabke mann me jo aaya sabne vahi kiya. Kisi ne tumhari marzi nhi puchi... lekin ab vhi hoga jo tum chahogi. To batao beta kya chahti ho tum ?
Prerna- Kaka Babu... iss ghar mein agar koi hai jisse mai apna manti hu to vo sirf aap hai. Mai janti hu aap humesha se mujhe apne ghar ki bahu banana chahte the par... I'm sorry... mujhse ye nhi hoga... I can't do it... I don't want to do it. Mai ab aapke bete se pyar nhi karti. Jab Rishabh se meri shadi hui thi tab I was an unmarried girl... I had my loyalty my everything to give to him but now... now I am a daughter-in-law... a broken wife and a longing mother. I have my everything for Rishabh... my happiness for him... my smile for him... my tears for him... my childishness for him... my loyalty for him... my trust for him... MY LOVE FOR HIM ! Mai aapke bete ko kuch bhi nhi de sakti. Mai Anurag se shadi nhi karna chahti... na abhi aur na hi life me aage kabhi bhi.
