Chapter 2
Prerna woke up in the morning, with the memorylane of Sneha's death news, the slumber weaken and she screamed, "Sneha!!", and she found herself on the bed in a wooden Bajaj flat. The same time when she shouted a palm came to her mouth and shut it tightly. Rishab scared her, "Prerna! someone can hear", she immediately cut her palm with her sharp teeth and he shrieked it off.
"What the hell is this Mr. Bajaj?", she again shouted and he offered her a glass of juice. She instantly threw it on the floor and the glass broke into little pieces.
He clenched his jaw and lit the cigar and blew the cloud of the smoke through the window. She kept weeping, "He could kill me, but why my baby?"
"I knew it, that is why I have warned him of my comeback", he had some fog in his lungs and blew again.
She bit her lower lip, but he kept saying, "my eyes were on you and Anurag. You were busy in your life so I did not like to indulge in your life, but when I came to know about Anurag's plan to kill you, I couldn't stop myself"
"But trust me. I did not about Sneha", he looked at her and again blew the cloud.
"Now what?", he asked her.
"Badla!" she looked into his eyes daringly. Her eyes were red and puffy.
She was sitting on the floor and he smoking threw the nearby window, standing over there when she screamed, "I will take you to the death, but will never give it to you Anurag Basu", she barked like a lioness and immediately left the spot to meet Anurag. But the same time he held her tightly with an arm and pinned her to the wall. He drop the cigar from the window of 17th floor, leaning his body down over hers.
He clenched his jaw, "Itni uchai se giraya tha?"
"Are you taunting me?", she yelled curtly.
"No. I am complaining.", he replied at which she creased her brow at which he replied, "You will take revenge?"
She shook her head, "I will"
He left her and started laughing out loud. She asked, "Are you making my fun? I don't want to stay here", she declared and was about to left again when he snatched and now her back was on his chest. Her one arm was on her back which he held tightly and one was on her abdomen.
He whispered in her ear, "Simply clear, I cannot see revenge your eyes, I see love in them"
"That is for my child. I am mother and a mother can do anything", she replied sternly.
He said, "Yeah, but revenge doesn't give everything Prerna.", he loosened his grip and they were face to face and he continued, "You're Prerna Sharma, who cannot give hatred."
"I am just Prerna, mother of Sneha", she retorted back.
"Revenge does not give anything", he said.
She was amused, "Is this Rishab Bajaj, who married me for revenge"
He didn't said anything remained quiet but she kept, "The one who accept an illegitimate child for revenge. Who create a drama of accident for revenge. The person, who can hit his father for revenge"
"Arey how do you know what is child, when you doesn't spend time with a child. You are a shark....just a business shark huh!", she sarcastically taunted at which he was about to left in tears when she finally said at his back, "Aap ne apne bacchi kaha khoyi jo aap janenge bacche ko khone ka dard....Am I right"
"Shut Up you....", he stop himself somehow after screaming loud like a tiger. His pitch echoed in the flat which scared her and now she was guilty what she has does.
He tip toed steps near her one by one, "I married you for my child. I accept that so called illegitimate child for him. I created the drama, for my love and I hit my dad for my mother....the four love ones of my life.....Prerna Sharma"
"And why, because you taught her to talk, and they killed her in the school", he said with pain looking somewhere in the air.
"Do I take revenge from you? Do I?"
"Revenge is not life but life is the revenge"
"I am...", she tried to stop her by apologizing when he was leaving the room. But the last piece of glass hit his foot and started bleeding, "Rishab....", she called him and ran towards him. But he showed a hand, "Stop!"
"And I know what is the pain of loosing a child.... I have lost Sneha.... I have lost Kukkie", confessed he and tears droplet destined to the floor from her eyes.
He bit his lower lip, "par shayad aap maon ki hi rone ka, chikhne ka, dard ko batane ka haq hai iss duniya mein"
A tear droplet destined from his and her eye together when he left the room, pinning out the glass piece and imprint the blood path from his foot. She felt as if someone has pinched a knife in her heart and twisted it. She somewhere felt as her pain is nothing. She realised to live with revenge is not life, but life is the revenge.
It broke her down to the floor, as she too love Kukkie.....
