Prerna opened her eyes as she felt thirsty. She sat on the bed and took the glass filled with water from the bedside table and gulped it down her throat. She looked beside her and was shocked seeing Anurag sleeping on the other side of the bed and a few months old baby between them.

Prerna hurriedly got down from the bed and shouted at Anurag waking him with a jerk.

Prerna - Anurag ! Yaha kya kar rahe ho tum ? Tumhari himmat kaise hui mere bed par sone ki ?

Anurag - Prerna kya bol rahi ho tum ? Humare room me tumhare sath mai hi to sounga na.

Prerna - Kya bakwas kar rhe ho tum ! Ye mera aur Mr Bajaj ka kamra hai. Mr Bajaj aap...

She turned towards the couch but frowned seeing it empty.

Prerna - Mr Bajaj kahan hain ?

Anurag - Kaun Mr Bajaj Prerna and please stop shouting Prem jag jayega.

That's when the baby started crying.

Anurag - See you woke up our son.

Prerna - What the hell Anurag ! Ye kiska bachha hai ? Humara koi beta nhi hai. Aur Mr Bajaj kahan hain ? Must be in Kukki's room.

She ran opened the room door and ran towards Kukki's room.

Anurag - Now who the hell is Kukki ? Prerna... kahan jaa rahi ho ?

Anurag picked up a crying Prem and ran behind Prerna. The commotion woke up the whole house. Prerna reached Kukki's room and opened the door but she was shocked seeing it empty. All other members of the Basu household reached there.

Mohini - Onu... Prerna what happened ?

Anurag - Pata nhi maa isse kya ho gya hai ? Kabse koi Mr Bajaj kahan hain kiye jaa rhi hai and now a new person Kukki.

Prerna - Kukki... Kukki kahan hai ? Meri beti kahan hai Anurag ?

Anurag gave Prem to Nivi and held Prerna by shoulders.

Prerna - Don't touch me Anurag Basu ! Stay away aur batao mujhe meri beti aur mere pati kahan hai ?

Anurag - Kis beti ki baat kar rhi ho tum Prerna ? We don't have any daughter we have a son Prem our Prem. Aur tumhara pati mai hu na.

Prerna - Tum mere pati nhi ho Anurag. Mere pati Mr Bajaj hain aur mera koi beta nhi hai meri ek beti hai Kukki meri aur Mr Bajaj ki beti and I am pregnant with my second child.

Anurag - Ye kaisi behki behki batein kar rhi ho tum Prerna. Kaun Mr Bajaj aur kaun Kukki and for God sake Prerna you are not pregnant... We just had a child three months back.

Mohini - Hn Prerna beta dekho tumne koi bura sapna dekha hoga. Yaha koi Mr Bajaj ya Kukki nhi hain.

Prerna - Aap mujhse aise baat kyu kar rhi hain ? Aap to nafrat karti hain na mujhse kyunki maine aapke bete ko chhodkar Mr Bajaj se shadi kari thi.

Anurag - There she goes again... Dekho Prerna tumhari shadi mujhse hui hai... yaad hai vo tumhi thi jisne Komolika ko expose kiya tha and then humare beech sab kuch theek ho gya tha and then we got married in the presence of our families.

Prerna - No no Anurag we didn't marry eachother. Hn maine Komolika ka sach expose kiya tha hn humari shadi hone wali thi but humari shadi hui nhi thi kyunki uss din maine mandir me Mr Bajaj se shadi kari thi. I know tum mere sath mind games khel rahe ho. Just tell me where my husband and my daughter is varna tumhare liye achha nhi hoga.

Anurag - Prerna tum kya bole jaa rhi ho mujhe sach me kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai. Tumhari shadi mujhse hui hai kisi Mr Bajaj se nhi hum kisi Bajaj naam ke insan ko jante tak nhi hai.
