Prerish || The Journey that made them

Chapter 26

"I am sorry woh thodi tabiyat theek nahin lag rahi thi. Just give me 5 mins" Prerna

"It's Ok. We have time. Airport is just 5 mins away and the flight is delayed. I had checked." Mehra and he found that Prerna kept looking at him now and then and not saying anything.

"If you want to ask something then ask Mam, I promise I will try to answer" Mehra

"Aap is investment ke bare main kya sochte hain?"

"Oh, bahut profitable deal hain. It was a good investment and it will help in the long run" Mehra and Prerna kept looking at him waiting for him to say something more.

"Aur kya sunna chahti hain mam, ki maybe Mr bajaj ne robinhood banke kuch logo ki help ya phir darkness main chup kar un logo ko bachane ki koshish ki ya here was some hidden secret to aisa nahin hain. It was a profitable deal and he took it. That is all to it. Main jaanta hoon aap kya soch rahin hain and iska answer appko sirf Mr Bajaj de sakte hain kyunki this is for him to answer. Main apna point of view de sakta hoon but you need to talk to him."

As soon as she reached the airport, she quickly picked up something from a nearby store and changed in the washroom and made sure she was presentable. She had a fit of nervousness remembering Nitya and Mr Bose words. But the next moment she stood up straight looking at herself in the mirror. Maybe she didn't know how they worked but she knew how the world worked and she will try and fix everything being herself, she had tried to be someone else it didn't work. She will be herself and tackle what was to come; he will not let Rishab continue to wear this mask for his entire life even if she had to wear it for some days. The politician was an elderly man and as soon as he arrived Prerna touched his feet. The politician was surprised.

"Namaste sir. I am Mrs Prerna Bajaj and you are like my father. I Hope you didn't mind." Prerna and Mr Sengupta smiled and touched her head. She gave him the flowers and they moved towards the car.

"Mr bajaj?"

"Actually, Mr bajaj was not feeling a little well. So, I thought I will come and receive you today. I am sure you don't mind, plus I really really wanted to meet you as I have heard so much about your work for Women education and since I run an NGO myself I thought I will meet you and congratulate you and if possible even know about some of your new schemes and how can I help you with those" Prerna. The way the minister smiled Prerna knew she had scored.

They all went towards Mahindra pharmaceuticals and Mr Mehra with Perna showed him around everything. Prerna smiled when it was needed, gave the most graceful of smiles when it was needed and answered the Press as required. The lunch and the whole feast that was organised was a nice affair and Prerna was surprised that all the investors were quite happy and even the workers seemed to be happy to get back to work. The inauguration went out without a glitch. The minister left after the inauguration citing a meeting but he was all the more happy with everything and Prerna had to rush to the Bajaj industries office when she would meet Mr bajaj as she was sure he would be released by now. She was just changing and getting herself ready when Mr mehra called and told her that Mr Bajaj will be released in night only and she might have to handle the press conference as well and prerna panicked.

"Mr Mehra Handling the politician was one thing but this what will I answer when I myself don't know anything." Prerna but the next moment she realised She will have to make do. She will have to. She reached the Press conference where the press grilled her for almost an hour regarding the takeover destroying the company which she very graciously answered with a short and precise answer. For all the info related to shared profits and costs she had added a small earphone is her ears and Mr Mehra guided as needed as there was no way she could have understood all in some hours. When the conversation came to the accident and Malhotra's family, she answered nothing more than no comments and moved on and finished the press conference.
