Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh…This is a strange tale… Part 4
Anurag went to Mr.Bajaj’s house.He rang the calling bell.Prerna opened the door.She was shocked to see Anurag.
Anurag:Prerna…
Prerna was silent.
Anurag:I did’nt know that you are Mr.Bajaj’s wife.
Prerna stared at him.
Anurag:Prerna…please listen to me carefully.You may get hurt.But be strong enough to hear that.Mr.Bajaj is cheating you.I saw him with a woman in the mall.
Prerna:Stop it Anurag.First you left me when I needed you the most and now you are blaming Mr.Bajaj who gave me comfort when I was in distress.
Anurag:Prerna…I know that I hurt you.It was my foolishness.But I realized my mistake and came in search of you.I am not cooking up any story to spoil your life with Mr.Bajaj.But I really saw him with a woman.
Prerna:Mr.Bajaj considers you as the most loyal person in his office.He considers you as a friend.But you are talking ill of him behind him.Are you not ashamed of your behaviour?
Anurag:Oh no…Prerna..please try to understand.I am saying the truth.
Prerna:I know Mr.Bajaj very well.You are misunderstanding him.
Anurag:No Prerna.Believe me.
Prerna:Stop it Anurag.
Anurag thought:Prerna won’t believe me like that.I have to give her the proof against Mr.Bajaj.
Anurag:Can I ask you something?Are Kuki and Sneha our daughters?
Prerna looked at him with shock.
Anurag:Say Prerna.
She was silent.
Anurag’s eyes became wet:Your silence shows that they are our daughters.
Prerna did not speak a word.
After a few moments Prerna said,
“Don’t misunderstand Mr.Bajaj.You must have seen him with a woman.But he is not a cheater.Trust me.I know him very well”.
Anurag got confused.
He thought:Prerna may be right.Mr.Bajaj may be a nice person.
Anurag:I am sorry if I have misunderstood Mr.Bajaj.
He took a few seconds to ask her something,
“Can I see Kuki and Sneha?”
Prerna:They have gone out with Mr.Bajaj.
Anurag’s heart got pricked.
He thought:I have lost them completely to Mr.Bajaj.I feel so jealous of Mr.Bajaj.
Anurag:Ok.Bye Prerna.
Prerna:Bye.
Anurag walked away painfully.Prerna looked at him with a sad expression.
A few weeks passed…
Bajaj brought Anurag home.
Bajaj:Anurag,you should come home.I am celebrating my birthday there.I am inviting only you for my birthday party as you are more than a employee for me.You are not less than my brother.
Anurag felt guilty.
He thought:Mr.Bajaj trusts me a lot.But I am betraying you every moment. I can’t betray you anymore Mr.Bajaj.
Bajaj:Anurag,you will come home.Right?Our little girls will also be happy to see you.They already liked Anurag uncle.
Anurag could not control anymore.
Anurag:No Mr.Bajaj.I am not their Anurag uncle.I am their father.I am the real father of Kuki and Sneha.Prerna was my wife before.
Bajaj looked at him in shock.
Suddenly Anurag realized what he said and got worried how Mr.Bajaj will react.
Anurag:Mr.Bajaj…!
Bajaj stared at them:You told me that Prerna was your wife.You told me that my daughters are not mine,but yours.You yourself tell me how I should react.
Anurag became upset.
Anurag:Mr.Bajaj…I can understand your mental state now.But it’s the truth.
Bajaj:Let us ask Prerna about it.You come home now itself.
Anurag was shocked.
Anurag:Mr.Bajaj,please don’t get Prerna involved in it.She has forgotten her past and moved on.
Bajaj:No..only Prerna can clear this mess. Let us Prerna whether she has moved on or still living in past.
He grabbed Anurag’s hand and walked to the car.
Anurag:Mr.Bajaj…
Bajaj made him sit inside the car and drove the car without listening to Anurag.
They reached home.
Bajaj:Prerna…Prerna…
Bajaj called Prerna.
Prerna came.Anurag was tensed.
Bajaj:Anurag says that he was your ex-husband.Is it true?
Prerna said slowly:Yes.Anurag is my ex-husband.
Bajaj was silent for a moment.
Bajaj:Anurag claims that Kuki and Sneha are his daughters.Is it true?
Prerna stared at Anurag.Anurag looked at her painfully.
Prerna said emotionally:Yes.He is right.
Bajaj was silent.Anurag was scared of Bajaj’s reaction.
Bajaj:Now I want to know one more thing. Anurag says that you have forgotten him and ……you have moved on.
Is this true?Have you forgotten your past with Anurag and moved on?
Anurag and Bajaj looked at Prerna curiously to hear her reply.
