Chapter-22
The pull towards prem was too much for heer to resist so without thinking much she put her palm on prem's cheek but instead of giving in to her warmth she saw him flinch and she could feel her heart breaking by his sudden aloofness.
Prem could feel her softness and the wetness of his from shower which was now soaking into her was not helping the matters, neither was his almost nudity. When he tried to move over he froze as his gaze landed on hers. There was so much hope and love that he felt his throat go dry and then he saw her moving her palm towards his cheek while her eyes softened to almost a haze and he understood she was trying to connect to him and then as she put her palm on his cheek , he flinched, because he couldn't take so much love from her when he didn't feel or know or even remember the same way. Too late he realized the eyes that were gazing down him with such softness and warmth were now emitting stark pain and he didn't know why he felt guilty as well as hollow for causing her that. He knew she had taken him the wrong way, while he moved away from her because of his guilt but to her it was an insult, it was as if he couldn't tolerate her touch anymore. Prem didn't know how to explain himself to her, he was lost and so was she and the damn fate wasn't doing anything to help them.
Prem was about to roll over away from her when the bedroom door opened again followed by a loud shrilly girly voice saying "OMG AGAIN" and without thinking much prem haphazardly seperated himself from heer and picked up the towel to drape it across his neck while he saw heer getting up from and sitting on the bed trying her best to not look awkward. Neither of them moved and from what he could make out of the silhouette the tall , lean girl standing in the doorway was maya, who was introduced earlier to him as heer's best friend. Prem took a deep breath and switched on the light of the room and looked at heer, who was flushed, now half wet and looking at her best friend, it was as if a silent conversation was going on between them. He realized that maya was now clearing her throat, as if she was trying to say something and then he saw a giggle breaking out of her. He started telling her "it's not what you think" but he was stopped halfway by maya , "This is the second time you are telling me this you know, why is it everytime I find you two in a compromising situation , you say it's not as I think it is, it breaks my romantic heart."
Prem was about to ask her what she was trying to say when heer intervened them , " maya its not funny, send him another cup of coffee plz" and prem saw maya giving another round of strange looks to both of them as if she was enjoying a unshared joke, without another word she left , closing the door behind her.
Prem was now again all alone in the room with heer and lots of questions and he didn't know what to say or ask, so he murmured an apology to her, "I am sorry , I kind of didn't see you in the room" while he waited for a quick "it's okay" it never came. Instead he saw her getting up from her sitting position, and walking towards him, " are you not going to ask about the other time when maya found us in a compromising position?"
And prem's throat went dry as he didn't know what to say which will not be awkward, when he chose to keep quiet she continued, " it was the first day you came here , I came to call you for food and ended up on that bed with you over me and it was because you kept the room dark and you strolled out of the shower without looking and guess what maya found us like that and made all wrong assumptions, you and I couldn't tolerate each other back then and yet we fell in love, today is your first day back home and the history repeats itself , you are going to fall in love with me again prem and I will make sure you do" with that she left the room leaving prem standing in the middle of the room stunned into silence.
Heer closed the door to her bedroom which she now shared with meher and leaned her forehead on the door trying to calm herself , how can she feel so many things at a time, her heart was still fluttering thinking about prem so close to her but she felt hurt thinking about the flinch he gave her when she tried to connect to him. It was like a bucket of cold water dawned on her. Yet she hadn't given up, she has told him what she wanted, she has told him that she is gonna make him fall for her again , but How? One minute she could see something in his eyes and the next its gone. Letting out a sigh she went over to the cupboard to a get a change of clothes. She changed into a pair of jeans and kurta and then came out of her room to go downstairs when some sudden words across the hall caught her attention. It was coming from the study and she moved towards it and when she peeked in she saw her father and lalit bauji standing face to face talking about her and prem.
She heard her father say, " ab to log baatein karne lage hai bhai sahab , shadi to hui nahi aur ab prem ki iss halat ke baad hogi bhi ki nahi hume nahi pata , logo ko kya bole hum"
She didn't want to overhear them speaking but she couldn't help herself listening to lalit bauji's answer, " mere bete ki shadi hogi to heer se hi hogi, aur heer meri beti jaisi hai , uske khilaf kisi ki baatein main nahi sun sakta main aj hi prem se baat karunga, isme kisi ki galti nahi hai to phir sirf heer kyu itna sab sahegi"
Heer couldn't stop herself from intervening their conversation because she knew prem didn't want to marry her and forcing the decision on him will cause everyone just pain.
So she moved inside the room closing the door behind her and faced them , " maaf kijiyega bauji maine aapki baatein suni, par main khud ko rok nahi payi , aap prem pe koi zor nahi dalenge please, mujhe thoda waqt dijiye, jab tak prem nahi chahta kuch nahi hoga, log kuch bhi bole mujhe uski parwah nahi hai"
She watched them raising their eyebrows looking at each other and nodding and then lalit bauji came closer to her, putting a hand on her head , " isiliye main kehta hun tu meri bahu nahi beti banegi , tujhe jo karna hai kar beta , lekin mera bhi waada raha , prem ki shadi tujhse hi hogi , agar tu intezaar kar sakti hai to hum bhi karenge, tab tak karenge jab tak usse sab yaad nahi ata ya fir wo tujhse phir se pyaar nahi karne lagta" and heer nodded with tears in her eyes.
...
preet watched harman and maya whispering something to each other on the terrace, while meher who was standing closer did her best to eavesdrop. Loosing his patience preet moved forward and yelled , " yahan hum sab itni bari problem mein hai aur ye dono pyaar ke panchi guftagu kar rahe hai" to which he got a reply from harman stating the F Word while maya looked at him and giggled and said , " to aap bhi kariye na guftagu with aapki wali jo yahan kaan lagake pata nahi kya sunne ki koshish kar rahi hai" to which he heard meher murmur a reflexive , " main uski waali nahi hun" and preet couldn't help himself , "to ban jaogi" which led to another round of reply , " kaha tha na jab kissi se pyaar karo to sahi dhang se ikraar bhi karo" and again preet replied moving closer to her ,"tumhe khane se fursat kaha milti hai jo main preet juneja tumse kuch bhi ikraar karu" and before meher could say anything maya spoke stopping her in between , " my my aag dono taraf lagi hai , anyway you both can take this someplace else because yahan hum dono guftagu nahi kar rahe balki kuch plan kar rahe hai, aj maine jis tarah prem aur heer ko pehli baar room mein dekha tha , unhe phirse waise hi dekha , and don't ask for details please , so mujhe aisa lagta hai ki kyun nah hum sab sab kuch pehle jaisa repeat kare"
preet listened carefully and nodded while harman continued where maya left, " so humne decide kiya hai ki hum pehle se shuruwaat karenge , aur mere paas ek plan hai , nihaal bas aata hi hoga cars ki booking karke"
meher who was listening to everything intently asked suddenly, " cars ki booking ? kyun hum kahi jaa rahe hai ? aur cars kyun book karna, hamare paas to already three cars hai, hum sab to aahi jayenge usme" and at the exact moment nihaal walked in while veera also strolled in from behind him, " meher , tumhare pehle sawaal ka jawaab hai ki hum dargah jaa rahe hai , jahan tak maine suna hai tum log pehli baar prem ke saath wahi gaye the right , aur rahi cars ki baat , wooh humne isiliye book ki taaki hum sabko ek saath naa jana pare , hum sab milke poori koshish karenge ki heer aur prem ek saath jaaye aur hum sab alag jaaye, isse unhe baat karne ka mauka milega"
while hearing this veera chirped , " awesome idea nihaal" and then blushed when everybody looked at her with a smug expression as everybody knew about her hero worshipping nihaal and ofcourse THE CRUSH!
They all nodded their heads in unison while meher said , " heer di ko kisi ne bataya iske baare mein" to which maya replied , " don't worry I will tell her par the biggest problem is prem ko kaise manaya jaye" to which preet gave a sly smile , " uska to ek hi rasta hai , matashree ko patana parega , kyunki prem bhaiya maa ki baat kabhi nahi taalte"which was acknowledged with a hmm from everyone and the plan was fixed and in motion.
