A/N : Dear All, this is the penultimate chapter and the beginning of the 'END' - I have so many thoughts going on in my head right now that I find it difficult to articulate - I think most of it I will reserve for an after note, post the Epilogue.
So 2 things I would like to call out:
1. Guys, let's not judge Prerna so fast - the story description says she is someone with very little discretion - let's allow her to be that, let's love her despite that, isn't that how we can open up to the world and find compassion? Let's give her TIME TO PROCESS that her belief system for 8 years are challenged and there maybe a possibility that she was wrong - Prerna is SMART, she will get that - she just needs some time - it has been just ONE DAY since Mr. Bajaj suddenly returned and proposed to her.
2. There is a game of ROULETTE mentioned in the chapter - it is a scene builder and a background to everything that is happening in the story. I mention this because, as much as I remember I had fun trying Roulette in a casino a couple of years back but I was heavily alcohol induced and don't remember the rules 'clearly' so if there is some error there - please point out I would be happy to edit :) (This won't affect the story line anyhow!)
Now, no more explanation, you can go ahead and read!
Happy Reading!
Much love,
A.
*********************************************************
Prerna was tossing around on her bed, it was late at night; she kept glancing at her phone, but it was black and silent as ever – not one flash of notification. It had been six days since her birthday night with Anurag, and he has been painfully silent. She had texted him that day, after her day out with Rishabh, but he hadn't replied for the longest time. Much later at night, he had reverted back saying, he needed some time off. Prerna was worried and she had tried calling him next morning, his phone was switched off – he tried calling Anupam and miraculously his phone was switched off too. She was left with no choice but to enquire with Nivi; although she couldn't really tell, but even Nivi's text seemed cryptic.
[Hey Nivi, any idea where Anupam is? I have been trying his number from sometime, it's switched off.]
She had reverted back in sometime.
[Hi Pri! Congratulations to you and Mr. Bajaj! I was upset that you didn't tell me yourself, but I guess I will be mad at you later, I'm glad to hear you've found your love! :)]
Prerna looked at the text surprised, how'd Nivi know? Did Anurag tell her? Did Anupam know? He'd be mad at her for not telling him, herself – is that why he was avoiding her call? She immediately called Nivi.
- Hi Pri, CONGRATULATIONS! I am really happy for you
- Aah, thanks, but how'd you...Anurag?
- Yes, who else?
- Nivi, I know he is your brother and we had a 'thing' but..I'd understand if you'd not be okay with this, but I want you to know that you mean the world t...
- Hey come on Pri! You're family too; if you're happy I am happy for you
- But where is Anupam?
- Oh he is flying to Bali as we speak
- Huh, Bali, suddenly, he never told me!
- Well you didn't tell him you're engaged, guess he's paying you back, haha
- Nivi are you sure, you're okay with this?
- Of course Pri, we all want your happiness
