N.B - Since some people asked for translation in English I am adding them wherever needed. They are in gray color and italics. Lastly Thank you so much for reading.
Kukki’s Room
Mr Bajaj woke up with the touch of small hands poking on his face. He found his little angel looking at her with wide eyes and touching his face as if deciding if he was there or not. Everywhere she touched on his face Mr bajaj made a different face making her laugh and then she excitedly hugged him.
“Yes I am back!!! And I missed you.” Mr Bajaj said, twirling her in his arms and kissing her on her forehead. He then put her down on the floor and Kukki made actions saying “Where is my stuff???” and Mr Bajaj started smiling.
“Nothing comes for free. First, my stuff???” Mr Bajaj said and leaned down. Kukki shook her head and Mr Bajaj was surprised as to what happened but then she went and got her study stool and stood on it trying to extend her height as much as possible. Then Kukki did a hand to match their height and made him look at her mirror saying with actions “See I got so big while you went and you missed it all. Next time I am going with you.” and Mr Bajaj nodded. Kukki then smiled and very happily gave him his taxes by kissing him on his forehead. Both of them enjoyed an amazing moment of laughing and tickling one another when suddenly maasi came into the room with Kukki’s nanny.
“Uth gayi hamari princess(Our Princess is awake)” Maasi said, watching both of them lovingly.
“Aap Kukki ko leja kar ready kar waye school ke liye.(Get her ready for school)” Maasi said and the nanny tried to take Kukki with her. But Kukki was in no mood and hugged him, not ready to let him go.
“Kukki?? You are getting late for school.” Maasi said and Kukki made a sulking face when Mr Bajaj whispered into her ear.”Aap abhi jao main aapko shaam ko ek bahut special friend se milwaunga(Go to School for now and in evening I will introduce you to a special friend)” Mr bajaj said and Kukki looked at hm surprised and made action as to asking the same special friend?? Mr Bajaj just said “evening now go get ready” and kukki hugging him ran towards the washroom.
“Maasi aap jaanti hain maine yeh shaadi kyun ki hain phir is recpetion ki kya zaroorat hain?(Maasi why?? You already know my reasons for marrying Prerna then what is the need for all this?)” Mr Bajaj said as Maasi had discussed with him regarding the reception last night.
“Haan hum jaante hain par shaadi hain yeh koi mazak nahin hain. Humare relatives, family friends, buisness associates, press kal ko puchenge to kya jawab donge tum. Kaun hain yeh? Kukki ki new nanny?(Yes I know I know very well that why did you get married but this marriage is not a joke. Our relatives, family friends, business associates, Press when they will ask who she is, what will you answer? Who is She? Kukki’s new nanny?)”Maasi said
“Maasi please aap jaanti hain aisa nahin hain. Main Kukki ke liye maa chahta tha uski woh special friend jiski wajah se she is showing improvement naki nann….. Aur mujhe unlogo ki parwah nahin hain. (Maasi Please you know that is not the truth. I wanted Kukki to have a mother that special friend whom she keeps mentioning and is showing improvement. Not Nann.. and I don’t care about what people will think)” Mr bajaj said.
“Maybe you don’t but duniya dekhane ke liye bahut kuch karna padta hain. (Maybe you don’t but we have to do a lot to show the world.)” Maasi said and Mr Bajaj nodded and left from there.
Mr Bajaj entered his study and was ready for another shouting match of accusations when he told Prerna about the reception. That's why he avoided it last night but now he had no other option. He went and knocked on the door and after some time Prerna opened it. He found her in one of the gowns and another one or two on the bed. “So she already knows. Let the accusation begin 3...2...1…” Mr Bajaj thought.
“Maine washroom use kar liya hain. It's all yours.(I have already used the washroom. It's all yours)” Prerna said and Mr Bajaj looked straight at her surprised. She then again went inside the wardrobe and came out in a plain salwar Kameez.
“Chandu!!!” prerna shouted and he came running to the room.
“Yeh return kar dijiyega and Maasi se bol dijiyega I have chosen the dress and it fits and everything(Chandu please return these all and tell Maasi all fitting and everything is ok.)” Prerna said and he left with the other gowns. She was just getting ready to go downstairs when she saw Mr Bajaj standing there looking at her.
“What??” Prerna said. “Mr Bajaj!!!!” she said again, moving her hand in front of his face.
“Yes!!!!” Mr Bajaj said and Prerna was about to leave.
“Are you comfortable?” Mr Bajaj asked and Prerna stopped midway again. “There will be a lot of guests. I don't want a scene or for you to do something you are not comfortable with,” Mr Bajaj said, moving towards her.
“Don't worry I will fulfill my end of bargain chahe shaadi ho ya hamari deal(Don’t worry I will fulfill my end of bargain whether its marriage or the deal.)” Prerna said.
The Reception
Prerna was getting ready for the reception. She was wearing a very beautiful pink and golden lehenga with pleated dupatta.. The make up artist had let her hair down and finished her makeup and the only thing she had to do was let herself in the lehenga. Tanvi was also waiting for her makeup so she let him go. Prerna got herself in the dress and did the final touch up.
“Mr Bajaj!!!! Mr Bajaj!!!” Prerna called as she knew they had to go down together.
“Yes!!” Mr Bajaj came in just then. Tanvi and Maasi came into the room and complemented both of them. Rishab whispered something in Maasi's ears and then went downstairs.
“Prerna why don’t we try falling dupatta.” maasi said and Prerna made a face like “Ok” and Tanvi started giggling.
“To yeh keh raha tha Rishab aapke kano main.(So that is what rishab was saying in your ears)” Tanvi teased and Prerna smiled. All of them moved downstairs.
It was a beautiful evening. There was a sitting arrangement for everyone, not too many people while soothing music was being played. The whole garden was decorated with lights and even if it was not yet dark it all looked beautiful. Just as they were about to enter Mr Bajaj gave her arm to Prerna and Prerna was about to move forward when she saw Maasi and Tanvi and everybody looking at her and engulfed his arms.
As soon as they entered they were asked for pictures and the whole press hauled on them. She was asked to go a bit near Mr bajaj and she did that and then tanvi joked and made a pose with Maasi showing how to take a picture with your wife and to keep his hand on her waist or her arms. Prerna dreaded this moment but just then she felt Mr Bajaj hand move behind her back and she quickly closed her eyes for the moment but it never happened. She heard Maasi and Tanvi laughing and saying beautiful!!!. She opened her eyes to find Mr bajaj hands placed just near her waist but since she had a falling dupatta it was beautifully hidden and she just looked at him and didn't know what to say.
Mr Bajaj went around as he greeted all the guests and everybody was congratulating them. They moved towards the main table where they were joined by Maasi and tanvi. Two seats were left empty and Prerna thought who it was for, when she saw Mr and Mrs Chakroborty moving towards them and she thought it must be for them. They were one of the richest merchant traders of Kolkata and Prerna had seen them in Basu badi many times as they were their family friends. She dreaded the moment of meeting them as they were also present at her engagement and this would get awkward.
“Hello Mr Bajaj Congratulations!!!” Mr Chakraborty
“Thank you,” Mr Bajaj said, accepting the flowers and smiling at them. “Meet Prerna” Mr Bajaj
“Prerna aap toh woh anurag ki mangater hain na(You are Mr Basu’s Fiance)” Mrs Chakroborty
“My wife” Mr bajaj said and they were silenced. They just smiled and moved forward to their table. After sometime she saw Mr and Mrs Mehra walking towards them with flowers. They came and congratulated them and they smiled. They were about to leave when Mr bajaj said - “Kaha ja rahin hain Mr mehra(Where are you going Mr Mehra?)”
“Sir...” Mr Mehra said
“That's your seat” MrBajaj
“Sir main I need to ….” Mr Mehra
“Sit down Mehra.This table is for the Bajaj family.” MrBajaj said and nodded towards the seat. Prerna was surprised and just smiled. Prerna could see that Maasi was not happy with this but Mr bajaj was giving equal importance to both of them and handing it well. The night went nicely and after sometime Perna was sitting on the table alone while Maasi and Tanvi were meeting some guests and Mr Bajaj was on the phone. Suddenly Prerna felt someone move under her table and scared she looked down to find the small girl that she had bought the headband for under the table.
“Tum yahan kya kar rahin hoon(What are you doing here?)” Prerna asked and Kukki turned out and put a hand on her mouth to be silent. But then she saw who she was and smiled widely and tried to hug her but was not able to. Kukki realised that this was what her father was trying to show her, her special friend and again clapped her hands.
“Tum yahan kya kar rahin hoon.(What are you doing here?)” Prerna whispered. Kukki acted as she didn't know. Suddenly Kukki saw two shoes that she knew were of Mr Bajaj and her father never liked her in these parties so she tried to hide.
“Lagta hain kisi staff ki bachi hain isiiye Mr Bajaj ko dekh ke dar gayi. Agar inhone dekh liye beachri ke parents ki job jayegi.(She must be one of the staff’s daughters, If Mr bajaj found out both her parents will lose their job)” Prerna said and tried to act normal and sat straight.
“Chupo chupo chupo(Hide)” Prerna whispered when Kukki went inside a bit away from her father. Mr Bajaj introduced Prerna to some people and then left to see them off.
“Niklo bahar agar woh dek lenge to tum bahut badi problem main aa jaogi. Jao yahan se papa kaha hain tumhare(Get out quickly and leave.If he sees you you will be in big trouble.)” Prerna said but Kukki was not listening as she was looking at the chocolate dessert being served.
“Khana hain(You want to eat?)” Prerna said and Kukki nodded. “Ok lekin iske baad chali jaogi. Ok(Ok But you will leave after this)” Prerna said and Kukki nodded. The waiter came and served the dessert and Prerna quietly slipped off the desert to Kukki and she happily started eating.
“Mrs Bajaj” Mr bajaj said and Prerna sat straight startled.
“Aap niche kya dekh rahi hain.(What are you searching for?)” Mr Bajaj said
“Kuch nahin(Nothing)” Mrs Bajaj said. Just then Maasi came and took Prerna with her to get her to meet some people. Mr Bajaj sat on the table and Prerna kept turning back and looking at their table. After sometime she found Mr Bajaj had disappeared from the table and she relaxed. Unknown to her Mr Bajaj was checking under the table where Kukki was enjoying her desert.
“You know you are allowed in parties Kukki” Mr Bajaj said and Kukki made a puppy face and moved forward a spoon of desert.
“Come on back to your room now and Kukki why are you eating this desert.” Mr bajaj said
“Mr bajaj please bachi hain waise bhi aapse dari hui hain aur kyun dara rahin hain(Mr Bajaj Please she is a kid she is already scared why are you scaring her more)” Prerna said who had just kneeled down with them. “Beta aap khao(You eat)” Prerna said.
“Mujhe isse koi problem nahin hain but woh yeh nahin kha sakti(I dont have any issues with her but she cannot eat this.)” Mr Bajaj
“Kyun kyun nahin kha sakti(But why cant see eat this?)” Prerna said.
“Keep the plate down” Mr Bajaj said
“No finish your food” Prerna said
“Mrs Bajaj Please” MrBajaj said
“Mr Bajaj bachi hain woh(Mr Bajaj please she is a kid)” Prerna said and Kukki kept looking on from his father to Prerna and continuing with her desert when suddenly she started having trouble breathing.
“WOh nahin kha sakti kyunki isme peanuts hain aur Kukki ko allergy hain peanuts se(She cannot eat this as it has peanuts and she is allergic to them)” Mr bajaj said and in a swift movement got her out of the table and rushed her towards the room leaving a stunned Prerna.
"Kukki???" Prerna thought.

The scene between Bajaj & Kukki is super adorable. Surprisingly, Prerna gave in easily without any drama for the reception. I like how Bajaj made sure not to touch her & how he addressed her as his wife when she was addressed as Basu's fiancee. I liked it when Bajaj gave importance to Mehra like family. Ohh Kukki is sick now, I hope it's nothing serious. The official intro of Prerna & Kukki is still pending. Will we get it in the next chapter? Amazing update...continue soon!!
