Prerna turns her head behind and stands up looking at Arjun. He walks toward her.
“ Arjun ! What are you doing here ? And when did you come to Malaysia ? I can't believe this, Arjun ! ”
She furiously sits on the chair.
Dr. Kundra smiles looking at both of them.
Prerna is not looking at him while he's trying to convince her “ Prerna it's your sonography day ! ”
Prerna furiously looks at him “ For your very kind information, It's my third sonography ”
Arjun moves his eyes here and there “ So ! So what ? I meann…. Hmmm this is the new hospital ! That's why I came here ! ”
“ Arjun, you know very well that you're worst at lying ”
Prerna is not at all happy seeing him here from outside but from Inside she's very happy because somewhat she was afraid. And Arjun knows this.
The doctor takes her for the sonography section.
Where Prerna lays down and the doctor turns on her stomach with a fluid and moves an ultrasonic sensor on her stomach.
Closes Arjun's hand in her fist tightly . Tears start to roll from her eyes when she sees her developing baby on the screen. Arjun eyes are also on the screen.
The euphoria of being a mother to Prerna is like a dream for her and not her tears aren't stopping on seeing her child. She tells Arjun like a small kid used to tell her father about something wondering just like this, she says “ Arjun … our baby ! Our little munchkin ! ”
Arjuns grabs her in his arms and kisses her on her forehead. “ Hmm, see how fast he's growing as if he's more excited to come out than us ”
Dr. Kundra is staring at both of them and he couldn't resist himself from taking their picture. Arjun and prerna are so lost in their baby that they do not even realize when Kundra has taken their picture.
As soon as both of them come out as soon as the sonography section is over,
Dr. Kundra says “ Mr. Grover, tomorrow or in the evening, you can take the reports. I would have given it to you now but someone has booked the entire hospital and there will be no work here till evening, so you can come and take it tomorrow. ”
Prerna sarcastically says “ Does anyone do this? Meaning Arjun, think to yourself , is there any sense of this? You are booking the entire hospital for your own self-benefit and don't even care for their people who will be in need. ”
Arjun puts his hand on her shoulder from behind by grabbing her in his arms “ Different people have different obsessions. ”
Prerna hits him with an elbow “ Look ! Who I'm complaining to ! The person who himself has done such insanity several times . ”
Arjun shakes his hand with the doctor and goes away taking Prerna.
Abeer, This is the person who has booked the entire hospital. His smartness is nothing in front of his mind.
He is so rich that even if he buys thousands of such hospitals, his money will not end. And as much as he is proud of his money, the more he is proud of his powers.
His villa is built in 350,000 sq ft, Where there are such intelligence rooms, whose address is not known even to those who guard it. and his office in 100000 sq ft, Where he has built his personal prison. He was a big mafia before being a businessman, whose truth is known to everyone, but no one dared to dare him enough.
What belongs to him remains his only.
Abeer standing behind dr. Kundra, as soon as dr. Kundra turns around, He asks nervously and stutteringly “ S...sir. . you ??? I … I meann …”
“ Who're they ? ” his eyes are on the way from where they left the hospital.
“ S...s...sir…” he is so afraid of Abeer that he isn't even able to speak up in front of him.
Abeer shouts loudly “ Am I look like a fool ? I hate to repeat things… Do you get it ?? Just tell me who the hell they're ? ”
The whole hospital staff are looking at them only.
Dr. Kundra gets more nervous on seeing Abeer's aggressive behaviour. Whereas Abeer is very furious and he takes out the gun from his pocket and pushes the doctor against the wall and also pushes the gun in his mouth and is about to shoot him just then a nurse hurriedly comes and says “ S… Sir… they... they're Mr. & Mrs Grover ! ”
Abeer pulls out the gun from his mouth and astonishingly says “ Mrs ? ”
Dr. Kundra coughs and adds “ S.. sir , m.mr. Grover, …. ”
Abeer stares at the nurse , the nurse understands that Abeer wants her to say “ Sir , Mrs Grover is pregnant.. so they've… .. ”
Abeer is very shocked to hear this and he turns around to move forward but before start to move, he shoots in dr. Kundra's leg…..
Here, Arjun and prerna reach their home where Prerna shouts at Arjun “ Arjun, You shouldn't have come like this, you better know the loss we're facing yet you you do whatever your mind ask you to do ”
Arjun replies beautifully while unlocking the door “ no ! Prerna, my mind was asking me not to come to Malaysia but I was forced by my heart. ”
Prerna furiously says “ Someday I'll kick your heart so badly that it'll stop forcing it's decision on you ! ”
At the night,
Prerna is asleep on the bed. Her eyes open when she hears some sound coming from outside the room.
She gets up from the bed and wears her slippers and walks toward the door to see what is going on outside.
She sees no-one outside but the sound is someone shouting at someone, continuously reaching her ears making her curious to know about what's happening.
As soon as she walks in the hall, she sees Arjun is doing a video conference on the laptop.
Prerna doesn't make any noise and listens if everything is fine. But Arjun's worried tone and strange silence during the video conferencing doesn't seem to be fine.
Arjun shouts “ Stop it Aleena ( his employee ) I'm not coming to India, at any cost. ”
David calms him by making him understand “ Arjun, first Lorenz and now this , I think you should come to India At Least for a few days but Arjun your presence here is important for us. ”
Arjun is very Inflamed “ David , my wife is sleeping inside. Don't force me to shout. Can't you guys manage on your own ??? I have to attend a few meetings in Malaysia with the rivals that are coming to meet me yet you are forcing me to come to India . ”
Prerna sits on the couch and moves the MacBook toward her “ Aleena , what's going on ? Why is there so much tension ? What is making you people afraid and from whom ? ”
Arjun interrupts “ Prerna, go and sleep. I'll manage here… ”
Prerna shows no reaction and asks “ Aleena, don't worry . Speak up ! ”
Aleena is staring at Arjun with fear in her eyes, seeing Aleena this way. Prerna moves the MacBook away from him , “ Now, is it fine ? He is not visible to you ! Speak now ! ” Aleena is still afraid of Arjun which makes Prerna very frustrated “ Arjun, is this the way you treat your employees ? They're afraid of saying anything in front of you. ”
David begins “ Prerna , Our company is facing a huge loss from the past days and now Luna's have come to the battlefield. ”
Prerna thinks for a second and then asks “ Luna's ? ”
Aleena also somehow finds courage and adds “ Yes ! Luna's and Lorenz were enemies but now they've come together and have also dispersed their pawns ”
Arjun continues “ Prerna….”
“ Just shut up Arjun, I can't believe this ! When your team is facing such a big issue this time and you're here in Malaysia ? ”
Lisa says “ Ahh, ma'am actually … ”
Prerna encourages her “ hmm Lisa ? ”
“ Ma'am, this is a very sensitive time for us !
On one hand none of the companies are standing with us. Our shares are decreasing and much more. And on the other hand we've fixed a meeting with Luna's in Malaysia but they've rejected our invitation”
David adds “ Prerna, it seems like someone is doing this deliberately ! Because our own shareholders are now against us ! ”
Prerna looks at Arjun and clenches her fist tightly “ Arjun, what if Lewanna's will enter the battle supporting your company Eclipse's ? ”
Arjun astonishingly stares at Prerna and all the three on the video conferencing gaze at Prerna.
Aleena asks “ Ma'am, Why would Lewanna come in support of Eclipse's . As much as I heard about them , so they always maintained friendly relations with all and they won't Support us because supporting us will be like ruining their friendly image ,”
David adds “ Of Course Prerna, it's worthless to talk to the Lewanna's . ”
Arjun takes the MacBook “ Listen , I'll talk to you all tomorrow , it's already very late and prerna need some rest. ”
3 days later.
The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco -
She checks-in the presidential suite.
Prerna's phone rings, it's Arjun
“ I've just got the notification that you've checked in. ”
Prerna smiles “ Hmm, I'm alll okk and ( she puts her hand on her womb) your baby is ok too. ”
“ Dad is not at all happy, mumma always used to trouble my little champ. ” Arjun says.
“ Isn't this sounding too cheesy ? ” Prerna laughs.
“ Isn't mumma behaving so weirdly ? ” Arjun taunts.
“ Arjun, don't get nervous ! I'll manage everything here ! Not professionally like you but I will definitely do my best. ”
“ I know ! Just Prerna, You have no experience in this field and you don't even know about Luna's. That's why I'm a bit tense. ”
“ Arjun, do you trust me ? ”
“ more than anyone and anything. ”
“ Then keep this trust like this only. ”
She smiled and cut off the call.
She gets ready and moves to the conference hall where she is going to meet the Luna's for the first time.
As Prerna enters the conference hall, she sees everything very perfect. Everyone has already gathered here. Prerna is looking so charming as everyone's eyes are on her only.
“ This is the punctuality of The Luna's ? ” Prerna asks furiously.
Juvie ( Luna's Employee ) says while looking at her watch “ 19 seconds ! ”
Prerna is really frustrated by the attitude of The Luna's.
And finally, the time comes when Prerna is going to meet The Luna's. 10 guards come into the conference hall before the owner enters the conference. Prerna releases deep breaths and sits frustratingly.
As soon as Abir comes in front of her, she looks at Abir with shocking eyes. She becomes very surprised on seeing Abir in front of her. Her eyes aren't getting off p
Abeer. She's continuously staring at him while Abeer too is staring at her.
The two don't realize that there's so many people here. The eyes of these two aren't getting from each other. They've lost in the deep ocean of the eyes.
Reyansh ( who is 25 years of age just an year young than Abeer. ) Prerna ? ” he looks at her astonishingly.
Prerna & Abeer come to their senses !
Prerna is in the condition where she wears the anger on her face but at the same time she's breaking from inside.
Everyone sits on their seats.
“ What is the reason for which we have been called here? ” Juvie asks.
“ We called ? Or did you force us to come here? ”
Elsa says, who is Lewanna's employee.
“ All the allegations that have been made in the market, you have to take them back! ” Prerna says while Abeer is continuously staring at her.
Reyansh asks suspiciously “ Allegations ? Cases ? What are you talking about ? ”
“ I have come here on behalf of my husband who is the
proprietor of Eclipse's. ”
Prerna says in confidence while looking into Abeer's eyes which makes Abeer furious.
Reyansh is very shocked to hear something like this which he was not expecting.
She gestures at the girl sitting next to her.
“ We've got a deal with Lewanna's and we're helping them in their upcoming project worth $5000000.
And for that you will have to take back all the charges from us! ”
Prerna says.
Juvie is about to say something but Abeer gestures.
“ Miss p….. Mrs. Grover, Your husband must be ashamed or not dare to come in front of Luna. That's why he has sent his Unprofessional wife to this conference. ”
“ Mr. Abeer….. ”
Prerna is about to say something but he cuts her sentence in the middle and asks “ do you even know what professionalism is ? Or do you've any idea about these types of conferences ? ”
“ Mr. Abeer, better not to talk about professionalism in front of me. Because what you did, doesn't seem to be professional at all but just a creepy thing in which you deliberately involved my husband out of…. ”
She stops herself.
“ Out of what ? Hmm Mrs Grover ! Out of what ? ”
Abeer furiously stands up and asks.
,“ I did not come here to argue, I have come to tell you that Levanna's stands with our company even if you do whatever you wish to. ”
Prerna sarcastically says.
“ May I've the contract papers ? ” The owner of Lewanna's company passes the papers to Abeer.
Where Abeer signs the paper with the check of $7500000
“ I don't think Lewanna's would be so crazy who would deny such a huge amount ! ” he smirks.
Prerna laughs “ You should not be so crushed in your pride that you push yourself in the swamp. ”
Luna's are confused.
“ I don't think Luna's would be so crazy that they introduced themself with partners in the market, who had been accused of cheating by Luna's only. ”
Prerna says
David adds further “ Whoever gave the amount to Levanna, but the contract you have signed is led by Eclipse's only. ”
He laughs “ I didn't know Eclipse's could fall so much as to elevate themselves ”
Prerna taunts back “ We didn't even think about Luna's, who would auction the personal enmity that it in the name of their false pride in the market
And we learned from you how the name of the business is maligned by using false papers. And this is what we did. ” She moves out furiously.
She goes straight to her suite and throws the bag aside and sits on the couch where she cries a lot louder and louder “ Why can't you leave me peacefully, abeeeer whyyyyyyyyy ? ”
Prerna, who slept on the floor last night, wakes up.
She sees a tea cup being kept aside which makes her smile “ Arjun ! ” She stands up and walks to the restroom where she gets fresh and comes outside.
Her eyes are searching for Arjun. But on not seeing Arjun anywhere, she sits on the couch and takes the cup of tea in her hand. She is about to take a sip just then she hears some strange sound . She senses someone's presence in the room. She puts the teacup aside, stands and starts looking here and there.
“ Who is behind the curtains ? ” she asks loudly as she sees someone's shadow.
“ Come outside ! I said come outside or else I'll call the police ! ” she is afraid but she doesn't show.
Someone comes from behind the curtains. It's a 10 years old boy. Prerna is looking at him astonishingly “ Who are you ? And what are you doing here ? ”
She walks toward the kid.
“ I'm Sid ! ” The little boy is very afraid of coming near Prerna. Prerna walks towards him and sees at the balcony height from where he was hiding.
“ Aren't you afraid of falling, Sid ? ” she asks.
Sid is staring at her “ Even if you have to give life for such a beautiful girl, it will not be a big deal. ”
Prerna smiles and caresses his hairs. “ Are you trying to flirt ? ”
“ If you are considering praising a beautiful girl as flirt then it's not mah fault ” he says.
Prerna laughs “ Sid, how did you get here ? And how long have you been hiding here ? ”
“ Just 1 hours ago . Can I ask you something ? ”
Prerna is looking at him with love “ Ask ! ”
“ Why have you been crying all night? ” he asks
“ Ohk you're caught ! You have been here the whole night ( she caresses his cheeks) you shouldn't be here ! Your parents must be worried for you ! ”
“ No, I don't lie to anyone . I came here only one hour ago. ”
“ Then how do you know that I've been crying all night ? ”
She asks curiously .
“ Often, mumma used to cry all night and her eyes get swollen in the morning and the same way your eyes are swollen . ” he tells her with a sad face.
” Don't you ask your mother the reason behind her crying ? ” she asks.
“ Of Course not ! Because I know this already and I can't make her more sad by pinching the same question. ”
He clarifies.
“ You're behaving like a teen ! ” Prerna wonders on hearing such things from a kid.
“ Actually, my father is suffering from cancer . That's why we're here. ”
On hearing this. Prerna's eyes get filled with tears. She makes Sid sit on the couch comfortably. “ Everything will be fine soon. ”
“ The doctor asked me and mumma to always make dad happy. And I need your help in this . ”
Prerna is suspiciously looking at the boy and wondering how she can help his father.
“ my help …? ” she asks.
Sid gets up from the bed and comes in front of Prerna, sits on his knees and gets a ring out of his pocket.
“ will you marry me ? ” he pulls the ring in front of Prerna.
Prerna emphasizes the ridges on her forehead “ This is how your dad will recover ? ”
“ Actually, I found this in my dad's Personal diary that he wanted to see me marry the most beautiful girl. But I didn't like any girl before I saw you last night. ”
Prerna laughs. “ But, will you be able to make me happy for the rest of your life ? You don't even have a job ! Then how will you fulfill my wishes ? ” she asks laughingly.
“ You can't make fun of my love like this. ”
“ Naah…. I'm not even making fun…. ”
“ Tell me ! Will you marry me ? ” he asks again .
Prerna smiles and stands . She kisses on the head of Sid and holds her hand.
Sid's eyes are on Prerna who is taking him out of the suite.
“Where are we going ? ” he asks by stopping Prerna in the middle.
“Sid, your parents must be worried for you … ”
This makes Sid really sad and he doesn't ask her for anything further.
Prerna and Sid are standing in front of the door of Sid's suite where Sid stops her from going inside the room.
And he stands in front of the door.
“ Are you not going to introduce me to your parents ? She asks while looking at the cute kid's disappointed face.
“ Why meet them when you aren't interested in becoming their daughter in law. ”
He gets inside and locks the door from inside.
Prerna gives a slight smile and she is about to turn back just then someone closes her mouth from behind, blocking her way to shout for help. She flutters.
The hall which was full of waiters and guests a few minutes ago, is now all empty. There's no one to save Prerna from the person and his/her intention which is ofcourse unknown to Prerna.
She tries to get herself free from the hands of the unknown kidnapper but fails and suddenly she feels as if something is injecting in her body.
Slowly- slowly her vision begins to fade and her hands are no longer fluttering. She is slowly becoming unconscious and Falling on the floor.
La Paz, Mexico,
Prerna puts her eyes lashes above her eyelids slowly.
The room which is in front of her is familiar to her.
But the headache is not allowing her to recognise the room. “ Ahhhh my head… ” she holds her head and emphasizes the ridges of the forehead. “ It's hell paining . ”
Suddenly her eyes moved to the painting on the wall next to her. She astonishingly stares at the painting and revolves her eyes all over the room. She stands up in bewilderment. She holds her hand tightly which is paining like hell. She clenches her eyes vigorously “aaaaaaaa….”
She opens her eyes and stares at the painting. She slowly slowly becomes unconscious and is about to fall just then Abeer holds her in his arms.she stares at her astonishingly “ Abeer… ”
And she faints.
Abeer lifts her in his arms and makes her lay on the bed.
He is staring at Prerna just when Reyansh bumps into the room in hyperpnea. His eyes go on Prerna who is laying on the bed while Abeer is sitting in front of her on the bed only.
“ So, this is the reason why I've been sent to Mexico before you all. ” Reyansh fiercely taunts.
Abeer says while his eyes aren't getting off of Prerna.
“ Reyansh, I don't want you to become an obstacle. ”
“ Obstacle ! Me or you're becoming an obstacle between Prerna & Arjun ? ” Reyansh straightly questions him which makes Abeer very furious.
“ Reyansh, I don't need to remind you that I hate being questioned about anything which I've done eagerly. ”
This makes Reyansh silent. But still after a few minutes he asks “ Are you interested in calling any doctor ? ”
“ No need … ”
Reyansh leaves furiously because he knows Abeer is never going to listen to anyone.
Here Prerna gains consciousness and she sees Abeer in front of her. Her eyes move to her hand which is holded by Abeer. Her eyes are filled with tears.
Her eyes are revolving around the room and rests on Abeer who has slept on the couch only which he kept in front of her.
She gently removes her hand from Abeer's hand and gets down from the bed. She is finding it a bit of difficulty while walking but she moves forward toward the gate and opens the gate.
Suddenly the security alarms start ringing. Her eyes are moving here and there in search of the alarm.
She is about to step out of the room just then Abeer pulls her hand towards him and holds her, grabs the waist tightly and grabs her in his arms. He is holding her hands from behind so that she can't flutter.
Prerna and Abeer are looking into each other's eyes.
She still tries to make herself free from Abeer which is of course of no use. Abeer is looking deep into her eyes.
Prerna moves her eyes away.
Abeer moves her lips toward Prerna's lips.
“ Don't you dare to do anything like…. ”
Abeer cuts her off in the middle “ C'mon, I don't need to take your permission. ”
He moves his lips closer to Prerna. Prerna is quiet because Abeer is so close to her that he's able to hear her fast heart beats . She closes her eyes but Abeer leaves her. Prerna stares at Abeer.
“You're someone's wife right now. ” Abeer says.
“And how much will you fall, Abeer ? ” she angrily stares at Abeer. Abeer turns his leg forward and entangles it in Prerna's hand to make her fall. Prerna is about to fall but she holds Abeer's shirt and shouts “ Abeer, my baby ! ” and then Abeer holds her waist tightly again. “ Look ! Who's falling? ”
She pushes Abeer and stands properly making a distance to Abeer “ Stop Falling this much ! Abeer, in your cheapness, don't forget that I'm pregnant. And this bab…. ” Her eyes move to the gate where Josepha is standing. Abeer sees Prerna whose eyes are outside . Abeer turns around to see whom Prerna is looking for.
“ Abeer , Your golds are on the way… ” Josepha says while her eyes are on Prerna who is already staring at her.
Abeer blinks his eyes in ok gesture and asks her “ Josepha, I'll meet you afterwards. ”
She nods and leaves.
“Ohh ! Now she's working with you ! ” She asks Abeer furiously while looking into his eyes.
“ Prer… ” he is about to say something but she interrupts, “ No biggie ! I don't even care whether she's in your office or on your bed ! ” she moves her eyes aside.
Abeer pushes her on the wall and clenches her arms furiously “ Don't you even dare to talk to me in this tone again after ! I'm no longer the same Abeer who loved you once but now I'm ….”
Prerna looks at her arms on which Abeer is forcing “ Really ! What has changed in you, Abeer ? You're still the same Brutal and the same cruel person which is used to be … ”
Abeer's eyes go to her arms. He leaves her arms and moves back.
She adds “ No, actually you're right ! You've changed now ! That's why you don't have enough guts to take me here in the presence of my husband. ”
He slaps her hard which makes her fall on the floor.
“ I'm not afraid of your husband and actually I'm not like him . ” he tells her
“ You can't even become like him … ” Her eyes are now filled with tears which she is trying to hide from Abeer.
He bends down and grabs her mouth in his palm “ Don't you dare to step out of the room …. And you better know what I can do to you if you'll try to become smart. ”
He frees her mouth and leaves.
Prerna cries loudly and loudly “ Why Abeer ? Why ? Why do you always put me in such a labyrinth ? ”
She stands up furiously and starts to throw all the stuff here and there. Her eyes are full of tears. The pain inside her is killing her so hard. She pushes the glass showpiece on the fall “ Abeer… I hate you so much Abeer I hate you … ” she shouts and throws the remaining stuff on the floor. Suddenly her vision again begins to blur . She holds her head and takes the Support of the couch to stand but later on she falls down and her hands fall on the glass pieces.
Here,
“ Denial, this is the gold and I want you to have a locked in look on this truck which is full of my gold. ”
Abeer guides denial the route he has to take and all the stuff which denial should know before taking the truck away.
“ Chief … I've heard something about Eclipse's . Is it true ? ``Denial looks at Abeer.
“ Don't ever try to question me again ! ”
By saying this he moves away.
When Prerna's eyes open, she sees herself in ornaments and a very beautiful bridal lehenga . She touches the lehenga and looks here and there. It's not Abeer's place but somewhere else.
“ Where am I ? ” she questions herself while her eyes are trying to recognise the place.
There's no one else than Prerna in the hall. She gets up from the chair she is sitting on.
“ Can anybody hear Me ? ” she shouts and walks toward the main gate.
