Prerish || What it should have been

Swiss Trip Last Part and Return to India

P.S. - I know I usually write in Hindi as that is what I am comfortable with but many people have requested for translations in english so now I am adding them wherever needed. Look for the words in Italics they are all translation.

Saathi rey thoda sa thehar ja
Abhi mausamon ka badalna baaki hai
O saathi rey thoda thehar ja
Kuch door saath chalna baaki hai

Phir unhi raaston pe
Tere mere kadmon ka milna baaki hai
Dard mein, ranjishon mein
Sang bujhna aur jalna baaki hai

Yaara tu hi toh bandagi hai
Yaara tu hi duaa
Yaara kaisi ye berukhi hai
Kyun judaa tu huaa

Haan tere aur meri darmiyaan
Ab bhi baki hai ik daastaan

Next morning

"Good morning mam" Maria

"Good morning Maria and I have told you to call me Prerna. You are much elder to me." prerna

"Ahhhh!!! Some habits don't leave easily. Well what I wanted to ask was If it is not a problem can I go out for some work. We have prayer meet at church I wanted to visit today" Maria

"yes of course. Maria can I come with you if it is ok, I mean" prerna

"Ya sure" Maria said

"I am going with Maria to the church." She went to inform Mr Bajaj in the study.

"I don't think I ever asked you to tell me this or anything as such about where you are going" Mr Bajaj and Prerna left from there.

"Damned Why why did I play that stupid game with her. Why? What is it about this woman that makes me the person I left a long time ago. And most importantly why do I put up with her everytime she goes around throwing her weight around. I have bought her in my life for a particular reason and I should just concentrate on that and it's time that she knows all about it so we can move on in life. " Mr Bajaj thought. And the next thing he did was book their tickets back to India.

Prerna visited the church and was sitting on a chair relaxing.The church was near to the wall clock and she looked again at it thinking about the other night. Suddenly Maria came and put a hand on her head and Prerna just smiled.

"Is everything ok Mam? You seemed stressed today" Maria and Prerna nodded.

"Oh come on husbands are always idiots they always have a greater than life ego and opinion about themselves and that makes them do stupid things. It's just a shame you are married to the king of that. Don't think too much about it." Maria. Prerna looked to Maria surprised.

"Oh don't look at me like that. I know all about that Mr of yours." Maria and they both burst out laughing.

Prerna thought to herself - "He is not. I am an idiot. I shouldn't have gone off on him like that. The truth was she was angry she was angry at herself. Because after so many days she was happy relaxed she even enjoyed the stupid game last night and with the same man that did so wrong with her. She is not allowed to be happy, she is not, how can she let her guard down in front of Mr bajaj. How can I be happy? This is wrong, this all so wrong. " Prerna thought.

"Happiness is our choice mam we should never say sorry for being happy," Maria said and Prerna was surprised that she had said everything aloud.

"Well being a mom teaches you how to understand the cryptic language of silence. You will know soon enough." Maria said, tapping on her hands.

"Go light a candle. You will feel better. Go I will wait here." Maria. Prerna went and took 2 candles. She was going back when she saw a small 5 year old girl and remembered the same girl from the mall and she took another candle. She prayed and lit those candles.
