Part 6
After Kartik & Purnima left.
Rishab decides to speak to Prerna.
Rishab: Are you okay?
Prerna: Yes, I am fine. I don't know whether I would be able to come with you to London?
Rishab: Why? I think you are scared that you are pregnant. But, it is nothing like that. If you doubt, then the pregnancy test should tell everything. Have you eaten any such thing?
Prerna: No, Rish.
Rishab also gets tensed.
Prerna gets the pregnancy kit to test her pregnancy & goes home.
In the meantime, Rishab thinks, "Prerna is my best friend & no one can take her place. When that incident took place between us, I told her that we are in the 21st century & these are common. The second time we had that relationship was at the lehenga shop. Even I got the feeling of belongingness when I touched Prerna. She is a nice lady. I doubt whether did I even love Komalika. But then I can't back out from that marriage."
Prerna thinks: Is Purnima right in saying that I love Rishab? I can lie to the world that I don't love Rishab, but I can't lie to myself."
Prerna closes her eyes & sees Rishab with closed eyes.
She recollects all her memories with Rishab.
Prerna starts debating with herself.
She sees two ladies in her image. One lady is wearing a white saree, and the other is wearing a black one.
Lady With White Saree: Yes, this is the first time you are thinking in the right direction. Take the pregnancy test. If the report shows positive, then confess your feelings to Rishab and tell him that you are pregnant with his child. I think Rishab loves you, but he didn't realize that.
Lady With Black Saree: When you had time, you should have backed out of Anurag's proposal. What will you tell Anurag at the end moment? You can't play with his emotions & fool around with your parents. Have a pregnancy test & get rid of that child. That should be fine. Rishab is a snake in the name of a friend. He only used your body. He is a practical man to think from your perspective. Rishab is not going to marry you because he never loved you.
White: How do you say that Rishab doesn't love Prerna? He loves her & is genuinely concerned about Prerna.
Black: Fine, let her do what she feels is right. If Rishab accepts her, fine. Else, she has to abort the child & move on with Anurag.
Prerna comes down to the earth.
She becomes happy & said to herself, "Yes, I will do the needful. But I love Rishab & I won't be able to accept Anurag as my husband. But if Rish loves me, then he won't refuse as he can do anything for me."
The next day Purnima gets herself dressed up & meets Kartik.
Kartik: You are looking gorgeous!
Purnima smiles.
Kartik takes Purnima to his house.
Sony comes there.
Kartik: You asked me whether I like any girl.
Sony: Yes.
Kartik: She is Purnima. I love her & have decided to marry her.
Sony: I want to talk to Purnima privately.
Kartik: Sure.
Sony takes Purnima to her room.
Sony: What is your educational qualification?
Purnima: I am a degree holder in computers.
Sony: What are your hobbies?
Purnima: I love arts, designs, dance, & music.
Sony gets shocked to hear about music & dance as she hated them.
Sony: I want to tell you about us. We are a large family, but no one loves music & dance. On top of that, you have a dark complexion, which I hate. I am giving you a fairness cream, which you need to apply twice a day regularly to see the difference. If you are okay with these conditions, then we can proceed.
Sony gives the fairness cream to Purnima.
Purnima: If you don't mind, can I ask you something?
Sony: Yes, tell me.
Purnima: I accept your conditions, but I want to know who is your family God?
Sony: Yes, I got what you wanted to say. But, I will answer your question. We belong to a Hindu family, but I believe in Lord Jesus Christ. He was not only fair but also a righteous one. When I say that I don't like dark complexion, it would also apply to Gods like Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna.
Purnima searches for Kartik, but he had already left for the workplace. She went home.
Prerna goes inside the bathroom & takes the pregnancy test.
She gets shocked as she finds that her pregnancy showed positive reports.
Prerna then goes to the Gynecologist named Dr.Riddhima to get herself tested.
Dr. Riddhima sees the marks on her shoulders & understands everything.
She tests Prerna & said, "Your doubts are true. You are going to become a mother."
Prerna gets shocked, but she knew that she got pregnant with Rishab's child.
Dr. Riddhima: You need not panic. I am not only a doctor but also your childhood friend. If you say yes, I can help you to get rid of the child right away. But right now, you take the ointment that I give you. When you apply it, the mark will go within a week.
Prerna: I will come to you later.
Prerna takes the ointment & leaves.
Purnima calls up Kartik.
Kartik: Yes, tell me.
Purnima: I asked you whether your mom will agree to our marriage. She had put some conditions to proceed with our relationship. Your mother likes people with fair complexion.
Kartik: I know that she likes fair people, but I thought she would also want me to be happy. Don't worry, I will speak to her.
Purnima starts using the fairness cream.
Kartik met Sony and asked, "What is your opinion about Purnima?"
Sony: She loves music & dance, which I hate. On top of that, she had got a dark complexion. I don't mind her taking any other profession, but not music & dance.
Kartik: Music & Dance is not her profession. It is only her hobby.
Sony: Whatever, but she is not a right fit to be my DIL.
Kartik: Is it because she has got a dark complexion? If that is the criteria, then I'm sorry, but I can't accept it as I feel that complexion is not the criteria to reject a person.
Sony: She asked me which God do we worship? Did you not tell her that?
Kartik: Yes, I told her. I told her that you worship Lord Jesus, but you know that I am Krishna's fan.
Sony: Forget about the complexion. What is her status or family background that I should accept her?
Kartik: She is Shanaya's sister. If you can accept Shanaya for Sumreet, why can't you accept Purnima? Or have you rejected her because of the question that she asked you?
Sony: I had agreed to Sumreet-Shanaya's marriage on the condition that Shanaya won't have any relationship with Purnima. Suppose you want to know any other reason apart from her complexion. In that case, she is insolent when she indirectly questioned me that Krishna and Shiva are dark, but I consider them handsome.
Kartik: What wrong did she say? Her question was valid. If she is not a proper fit as a DIL, I don't think anyone else would understand my feelings. I won't marry her unless you approve, but I won't marry any other girl except Purnima.
Kartik leaves.
Prerna goes home with the report.
Rishab: The flight has got postponed because of the dew. We will get the flight tomorrow evening.
Prerna: As per our conversation, I did the pregnancy test as per the kit. When it showed positive, I went to Dr. Riddhima, who said the same thing. If I am pregnant, the airport authorities will not let me board the flight.
Rishab: I agree that Dr. Riddhima is your good friend & a well-known doctor, but it can be that she made a mistake.
Prerna: But what about the symptoms?
Rishab: It is only your mindset. You take out that fear from your mind & see the difference.
Prerna: I think you don't understand the ladies' problem. I wanted to tell you that I have started loving you.
Rishab gets shocked.
Rishab: Why didn't you tell me that earlier? We are engaged & our marriages got fixed with Anurag & Kamolika. How about going for one more opinion? I know a doctor who will give the correct status.
Rishab & Prerna go to Dr. Diya.
Prerna: I want you to have my pregnancy test.
Dr. Diya takes Prerna inside & tests her.
Ten minutes later, Diya tells Rishab, "Prerna is pregnant. I took the sonography test."
Bajaj thinks: Yes, even I feared the ugly truth. Dr. Riddhima is an excellent doctor, but I debated with Prerna. I should tell Prerna to abort the child.
Rishab & Prerna go to the park.
Kartik meets Purnima & finds the difference of color complexion on her face.
Kartik: You are looking fair.
Purnima: I have started using the cream that your mom gave me.
Kartik: Yes, but I told you that it wouldn't make any difference to my love for you.
Purnima: But, I don't want to hurt your mother by marrying you. I lost my birth mother and regarded your mother.
Kartik: There was no need for you to do that. I told my mother that I wouldn't marry you unless she approves, but no other girl would enter my life except you.
Meanwhile, Sony meets Purnima's father, Kuldeep, with a proposal for Purnima.
She also notices some changes in Purnima & gets impressed.
At the park, Prerna said, "I considered you as my best friend, but now I love you. We can still back out of the wedding & get married."
Rishab: Will you tell your pregnancy to Anurag? Would you mind aborting the child & moving on with Anurag? We have to do it before boarding the flight.
Prerna goes to Riddhima & said, "I am ready for abortion."
Riddhima checks Prerna & said, "Your blood pressure dropped down, so I will put you under the saline so you would be ready for abortion."
Prerna: I have the flight tonight. So I want to get the child aborted before that.
Riddhima: I cannot do abortion at this condition of yours as it will be risky for your life.
Dr. Riddhima puts Prerna under drips for a while.
Rishab, Prerna, Anurag, & Komalika get news about the flights getting canceled for a week.
