Hey guys , this is my first ever attempt at writing. Please forgive me for any mistakes and give loads of feedback.
Background for the story
This story starts from the scene where Mr. Bajaj and Prerna have returned back to Kolkata so that Prerna can finally take her revenge from the Basus. However there are a few changes. Kuki is still small , its been almost 2 years of their marriage and Prerna knows that Anurag had caused the accident. Kukki has started speaking. Sneha had been killed in the fire. Sonalika is Komolika.
PART I
At the party
Our beloved couple Mrs. Prerna Rishabh Bajaj and Mr. Rishabh Bajaj graced the party with their presence leaving everyone dumbfounded. Shaumik introduced them as the Foreign Investors for the project and Anurag stood dumbfounded and hurt looking at the way Mr. Bajaj had possessively wrapped his arm around her waist while maintaining his signature smirk.
Something about the way Prerna looked at him was different this time , thought Anurag. Before he could process his thoughts , the showdown between Mohini Basu and Prerna Bajaj had begun.
" How dare you come back in this house Prerna. ?Tumhari do takke ki aukaat ab bhi nahi badli. Kya sochkar aayi ho yaha. Pehli hi mere Onu ko bohot takleef di hai tumne." She spat venomously at Prerna. Rishab had clenched his hands in a tight fist and tried to keep his calm because this time he wanted his wife to fight her battle. He looked at her for assurance.
Prerna smirked and replied , " Its Mrs. Prerna Bajaj for you Mrs. Basu. Standards ki baat aap kabse karne lagi. Wese by the way , if you havent heard it right , let me remind you ki we are your Foreign Investors and humare paas shares ab bhi zyada hai. I suppose it would be in your best interests if you be a good host and make us feel welcomed. Warna nateeja toh wesebhi aap jald hi bhugatne wali hain."
Mr. Bajaj smiled looking at his ferocious tigress and felt proud when she adressed herself as Mrs.Bajaj.
The rest of the Basu family were in shock. Nobody expected this new version of Prerna.
Anurag stands there speechless , while Sonalika is burning with rage and jealousy. Something wasnt right about the Anurag losing the deal from the start. Her suspicions werent wrong
She hated the affect Prerna had on Anurag even years after doing everything possible to gain his affection.
( the same dance sequence occurs from the show)
While dancing Partners are exchanged and Anurag pulls Prerna towards himself. However he notices something different in her eyes this time around. He tries to search for a hint of love and his old prerna but all he finds is hatred and fury of revenge burning in those eyes.
Prerna had become stiff under his touch and felt disgusted by it . She wanted him to be ruined the way he ruined her. Made a spectacle of her love and took her child away from her. Mr. Bajaj handled Komolika well , while his eyes still stole glances at Prerna.
He was worried , concerned about her breaking down or getting hurt due to Anurag. A part of him felt a pang in his heart , because somewhere he felt she still loves him and the fact that she may leave him for Mr.Basu if he repents for his mistake still haunts him.
He smiles sarcastically at the way life has blessed him. Having Prerna by his side was a blessing he couldn't be grateful enough for. But knowing that she still cares about Anurag and the thought of them getting back together still manages to rip his heart to shreads and give a boost to his insecurities.
Maybe love is meant to be so painful afterall he wondered. Or perhaps , his whiskey was a better alternative to the wounds of love. Atleast it stings less and kills you with ease unlike the merciless beauty of the woman he loved..
