Chapter 11

Part - 35

Sanjana went to hospital. Nurse who took the blood samples asked her to wait. After few seconds Nurse came 'Madam, here is the report. Please sign in this register.'

Sanjana signed as Heer and mentioned Mrs. Juneja in the name column. She moved away with a happy smile. 'I should reach before Anjali produces the fake result.'

She got into the car and decided to check the report. Rishab is already waiting for her in the car. She is shocked to see the result. Rishab looked at her tensed face. 'What happened?'

Sanjana 'Chahat is Prem's daughter' she whispered 'how come it is possible? So Anjali is real Heer.' She hit her hand on the steering 'my God, She acted in front of me like Anjali. I'm an idiot.' She is tensed 'she knows my plan. Now I have to prove this Chahat is not Prem's daughter and Heer is Anjali'

She hit her haed with her hand 'stupid. what I'm going to do now. I'm lucky in the part that Prem didn't come here to collect the report.'

Rishab calmed her. 'its very simple. Change the report.' Sanjana looked at him with a hope. Rishab 'I'll be back in 10 minutes wait.' Sanjana stared at him who is going to the hospital again.

After 10 minutes Rishab handed over a cover to Sanjana, who is waiting restesly. She opened the cover with tension. She is happy to see the report as Chahat is not Prem's daughter. 'how?'

Rishab 'everything is possible with few currencies.' He tore the original report. 'now you go and give this report to that stupid Prem. before evening she will be out of your life' he gave confident victory smile. 'Later few prove that she is Anjali not Heer.' Rishab got down from the car. 'One more thing. Don't overreact and spoil the plan. Control yourself. Move carefully.' Sanjana drove the car to Juneja mansion with a jumping heart.

Sanjana parked the car inside mansion and almost running to give the news. She got angry when she saw Chahat sitting on Prem's lap and others are happily chatting. She walked in thinking 'Heer, you are finished.'

Juneja's are busy chatting in the living room. Prem is feeding fruits to Chahat. Sanjana came in with a cover. She jumped in joy 'Prem, you are saved. Chahat is not your daughter. Heer is cheating you.'

Heer and others shocked. Prem is confused. He looked the report and gave an angry look to Heer. Gaya3 'Prem'.

Prem with anger 'Ma. Please.' He didn't give any opportunity to others to explain anything. But his heart said 'you should not suspect Heer.' so he stayed quiet. Others are worried about his silence.

Heer tensed 'how it is possible?' she looked at Sanjana who is standing there with a smile and enjoying the situation 'she should have changed the report. Now how Prem will react to this?'

Gaya3 gave an angry look to Sanjana 'I should chase this girl first. She always comes between Prem and Heer.'

Lalit walked away with a sad face 'God only can save Prem now.'

Sanjana expected Prem to push Chahat away. But he didn't do that. Sanjana dragged Chahat from Prem's lap and pushed her down. Prem got angry and shouted 'Sanjana'. He picked up crying Chahat.

Sanjana 'She is not you daughter.'

Prem in anger 'she is a kid. What she know about these things?' he wiped Chahat's tears and calmed her down. He kissed her cheek. She leaned on to his shoulder. Prem turned to Sanjana 'I have applied for divorce and you have to wait for six months. Don't bring any confusion before that.' He walked away to his room with Chahat.

Heer is totally confused about Prem's move 'one side he is loving Chahat and on the other side he is talking about divorce.' She stood like a statue. Preet 'Bhabi, don't worry PB will understand the fact soon.'

Heer looked at him with fear 'how? My only hope shattered now.' she ran to her room with tears.

Sanjana with anger went to her room to plot another plan to chase Heer out of the house. 'I thought Prem will chase her out. He didn't say anything and asking me to wait for six more months.' She picked up the pillow and threw down on the floor. 'I'm not an idiot to wait for another 6 months. I need to be carful and chase Anjali as soon as possible.' She hit his hand on the bed 'why Prem is trying to protect her? I need a strong proof to chase her out.'

Heer is preparing food for Chahat. She is lost in thoughts about DNA result. 'How is it possible?' She felt a heavy pain when she remembered the face of angry Prem 'how can you forget our shadow of love, Prem. you identified her even before I introduce her to you but now..' tears rolled down on her cheek. She totally forgot a pan with oil on the stove. Kitchen filled with smoke from the pan.

Prem decided to check Heer about the result. He came down. 'Chahat Beta, you sit here. Papa will be back.' Chahat nodded and sat on the sofa. Prem know Heer will be at Kitchen to prepare food for Chahat. So he walked towards the kitchen. He is shocked to see the smoke inside. Heer managed to switch off the flame.

Prem shouted 'Heeer.' Heer started coughing and felt dizzy and she is about to fall. Prem grabbed her in his hand. Others came out hearing Prem shouting Heer's name. He kept her down on couch and pats cheek 'Heer, open your eyes.' he is almost crying. 'Heer Heeer'. Megher came with a glass of water. Prem splashed water on Heer face. He picked her head and placed on his lap.

Heer slowly opened her eyes saw herself on Prem's lap. Others are looking at her with worried face. She noticed tears in Prem's eyes. Heer got up quickly.

Heer 'Ma, I forgot the pan with oil.'

Gaya3 interrupted with concern 'you should be careful Heer. You take rest. Megher will prepare food for Chahat.' Heer went to her room thinking about Prem's tears. Prem picked up Chahat who is in shock seeing her mother. Sanjana is unhappy and decided to turn Prem's attention towards her.

Sanjana took a knife from the table and actioned as if she is cutting an apple. Suddenly she jumped and shouted 'Preemmm.' Everyone shocked and looked at Sanjana. She ran to Prem and showed her hand, which is bleeding. She jumped in pain. Chahat started crying and wrapped her hand around Prem neck.

Prem shouted 'Sanjana, move away. Chahat is getting scared looking blood.' He turned Chahat face to other side and started walking away from that place with Chahat.

Sanjana stood there disappointed. Megher came with a box and smiled 'clean bold.' She gave cotton to Sanjana and walked away with a teasing smile. Others too gave a cheap smile to her.

Prem is staring at the report. 'how it is possible?'He decided to check with hospital. One man picked up the phone. 'I'm Prem Juneja. Y'day I gave a DNA test. Is that report ready?'

Man looked around 'one minute sir.' He carefully checked around him 'sir, its negative sir. She is not your daughter. The report has been already collected.'

Prem hang the phone and looked at Chahat who is playing with his kurta. Chahat jumped on to his as soon as he kept the phone down. Prem kissed her cheek. he thought 'I felt my life moving out of me when I saw Heer struggling in the smoke filled kitchen. I'm feeling pain when Chahat eyes are filled with tears.' he came to conclusion 'may be they made mistake.'

In the evening, Chahat is coming down the stairs alone. Prem is shocked to see her struggling on the steps. He got angry 'Heer, why you left Chahat alone in the stairs?' When Chahat saw Prem, she stretched her hands towards him about to slip down. Prem ran to her to pick her up in his hand. Lalit and Gaya3 gave a smile thinking 'she is truly your blood.' Sanjana is also in the room got angry for Prem running towards Chahat.

Chahat kissed his cheek 'Papa. Chocky Ichey.' Prem surprised 'want ice cream. Papa get you one for you.' he lowered his voice 'come we'll go before Mamma notices us.' Chahat laughed seeing her fathers face expression. Heer came there hearing Prem shouting her name, stood still looking at Prem and Chahat walking out of the house hand in hand.

Prem and Chahat went to ice cream shop. As chahat likes walking with Prem holding his hand, he held her hand in his. Both started walking out of the mansion. On the way Chahat is pointing vehicles and telling something. Prem is also telling her the name of the vehicles. Not even single pedestrians missed the chance of giving a glance to Prem and Chahat.

They went to a near by shop and bought one ice cream for Chahat. Prem sat in a chair keeping Chahat on his lap. He helped her to eat the ice cream. She feed him little bit. Few people sitting in the shop stared at them.

One elderly man came and sat before them. Prem smiled. Man 'your daughter? she is so cute.' He pinched her cheek.

Prem don't know what to say. Before Prem could say anything, man with a smile 'she has your eyes and hair. She is your replica.' Prem just stared at the man. Man blessed them both keeping his hand on them and went leaving confused Prem.

Prem looked down at Chahat. She is now leaning on his chest and her head touching his chin. She signalled with her hand 'enough.' He wiped her mouth with his hand kerchief. He kissed her cheek. He picked her up in his hand and walked out of the shop. 'she is my daughter, Chahat.'

Prem is coming down the stairs. Sanjana is sitting in the living room. Sanjana got up and decided to ask him to accompany her out for a day. Chahat ran towards Prem overtaking Sanjana. Sanjana got angry and pushed her away. Chahat fell down hitting the near by chair. Her hands got hurt and started bleeding. She started crying aloud 'Papaaa'.

Prem shouted in anger 'Sanjana, Why are you pushing Chahat away?'

Sanjana shouted 'she is a devil in your life. With her mother she is cheating you.'

Prem slapped her 'how dare you call my daughter a devil?' Sanjana is shocked.

Prem picked up Chahat in his hand 'Papa slapped her don't cry.' he tried to calm her but she fainted. Prem shocked. 'Chahat. Chahat.' He pats her cheek. 'Heer, bring water.'

Heer hearing Chahat's cry came to living room. She saw fainted Chahat in Prem's hand.she cired 'Prem, what happened to Chahat?' Preet splashed water on Chahat face. Heer hold Prem's upper arm tightly 'Prem. why she is not opening her eyes?' she cried. Prem also in tears 'she is alright.' no response from Chahat gave Prem fear.

Lalit 'Prem, take Chahat to hospital immediately.' Prem grabbed her in his hand. Preet ran to start the car. Heer followed them with tears.

Heer is tightly holding Prem's hand through out the drive to the hospital. Prem is also in tears. He hugged Chahat and kissed her 'Chahat Beta, See Papa. See Mamma is crying. open your eyes.'

Preet is restlessly walking in front of the testing room. Prem wrapped his one hand around Heer as the as some tests were taken for Chahat. Heer with tears 'Prem, what happened to her? why they are doing these tests?'

Prem is also in tears tries to control to avoid giving more fear to Heer 'nothing. its a routine. She is okay.' he rubbed his palm on her upper arm. She covered her mouth with her palm 'I'm scared Prem.' he placed his other hand on her shoulder and comforted her.

A Nurse asked them to go to doctor cabin. Prem, Heer and Preet walked to the doctor cabin. They sat with fear. Doctor looking seriously looking at the reports spread on his table. Few more doctors are also standing there with some papers in hand. They all gave a worried look to Prem and Heer. After a brief silent doctor slowly 'Mr. Juneja, I'm sorry. Your daughter is suffering in Leukaemia.'

Prem, Heer and Preet shattered. Doctor continued 'she may be alive for another 6 months. Treatments can only prolong her life but not complete cure.'

Prem with tears 'doctor. Please save my daughter. she is everything for us.'

Doctor 'one thing we can try.'

Prem, Heer and Preet looked at them hope. Doctor continued 'bone marrow transplant. We will test both of you if it matches with her then it will be fine. We have some hope.'

Prem and Heer got little bit relieved 'yes. doctor.' Doctor called a Nurse to arrange for the test.

Heer looked at Prem with tears. He hugged her 'our Chahat will be okay soon.' She cried burying her face into his chest. They left to home after givng samples to test with a hope that they can save Chahat with bone marrow transplant.

Gaya3 trying to reach Preet and Prem. She threw the receiver down on the couch. 'why he is not answering the call?' Lalit is restless. Preet,Prem and Heer returned with Chahat after few hours with a swollen face. Chahat is sleeping on Prem shoulder. Heer is clutching Prem arm tightly. Gaya3 rushed to Heer 'what happened? Prem, why you didn't pick up the phone?' Megher picked up Chahat from Prem's hand.

Heer fell to the ground and cried 'Ma'. Prem tried to pick her up. 'Heer.' He sat with her on the floor.

Lalit become upset 'Preet, tell something. Why Heer is crying like this?'

Preet with tears 'Chahat is suffering with blood cancer. She may live only for another 6 months.' Lalit and Gaya3 fell in the sofa with shock. Prem cried keeping his forehead on Heer's. Sanjana is the only one happy. The entire day passed with silence. no onw ate anything. all stayed inside their room.

Heer is sitting on the bed next to Chahat. She is talking to the picture in her hand 'you promised me that you won't leave me but now you left me alone. You don't even remember me as your wife. You told that you are giving me a gift that always stays with me. Now our Chahat is also leaving me alone. She is your daughter and follows your path.' She cried like a baby hugging the frame.

Prem saw Heer room light is still on. He went to her room. The door is slightly open. Prem walked to Heer. He sat next to her. 'Heer.' She quickly turned and buried her face into his chest and hit his fist on his chest 'Why it always happens to me?' Prem hugged her 'nothing can separate our Chahat from us. I'm with you Heer. We need to be strong in this situation.' He rubbed her back.

Next morning, Heer saw herself on Prem's chest. He is leaning on the board and she is leaning on his chest. His one hand around her stomach and another on Chahat's head who is sleeping keeping her head on Prem's lap. Heer slowly released herself from Prem's hand. He woke up by her movement. 'Good morning Heer.' She said 'Good morning' without any interest. Prem pulled her back on to him. 'Heer, We will leave t'row to US for further treatment. Don't worry.'

Heer 'Prem, I really don't know what to do.' she cried keeping her head on his chest. Prem wiped her tears 'Heer, if you cry like this we cannot do anything.' Heer got up and left to washroom. Prem picked up his phone and dialled a number but couldn't get any answer.

When Heer came out of washroom, 'Heer, call our Canada office and get Dr. Nixon's number.' Heer called Canada office and got the number. Prem called Dr. Nixon and told about Chahat's condition. Doctor asked him to send all the test results to him. Prem agreed. Doctor 'Mr. Prem, nothing to worry. God will help us to save your daughter. Today in the medical world anything is possible.' Prem thanked him.

Heer is looking at him with hope. Prem smiled 'I spoke to him. He is confident that she can be cured.' He gently gave a hug to comfort her. Chahat opened her eyes and saw her parents are having a good time. She closed her eyes and slept again. Prem and Heer saw her and smiled. Heer picked up pillows to put around Chahat. Prem stopped her 'what are you doing Heer?'

Heer with a questioning face. 'you go and get freshen up. I'm going down to prepare breakfast.'

Prem removed the pillows and sat on the bed 'I'll stay with her till she gets up. You bring the breakfast here.' Heer nodded and went down. Prem picked up Chahat and placed on his chest. He stared at his daughter while his hands stroking her hair. 'Papa won't allow you to leave.' he kissed her forehead.

Heer took breakfast and climbed upstairs. Lalit and Gaya3 are happy. Sanjana who came there saw Heer walking with breakfast. First she thought Heer is taking breakfast for Chahat. Then from Gaya3's face expression she understood that Prem is with Heer. She quickly decided to join them. she took her plate and behind Heer. Gaya3 stopped her. But Lalit signed her to be quiet. 'let her to do her part.' he lowered his voice 'soon she will come back like a broken arrow.' He winked at her. Gaya3 smiled.

Heer entered with breakfast. Chahat is sitting on Prem's lap. Prem went to washroom when Heer came in with the tray. Heer placed the tray on the table. Chahat kissed Heer and Heer kissed her back. She sat with Chahat. She pulled her up on her lap.

Sanjana opened the door. She peeped in and looked around for Prem. she couldn't find him. Heer sensed that she is searching for Prem. so she kept herself quiet and started playing with Chahat. Her heart is praying 'Prem should not come out until she goes away.' Sanjana is disappointed and walked away. Heer breathed a releif.

Prem shouted from the washroom 'Heer, give me a towel.' Heer gave him the towel and he came out wrapping the towel around his waist. Chahat laughed clapping her hands looking at her father standing without shirt.

Prem smiled 'oh you are teasing Papa. Wait Papa coming.'

Heer picked up one shirt from the closet and gave to him. 'sorry I forgot to keep it .'

he cut in 'its okay Heer.' He wore his dress and came to Chahat with wet hair. Heer wiped his hair with a towel as he palyed with Chahat. Prem enjoyed her move.

Heer picked up Chahat went to washroom. They came back after few minute. Prem helped Heer to dress Chahat, who ran around inside the room. Prem catched her and kept her on his lap. 'Papa caught you.' she clapped and laughed. Heer dressed Chahat.

Prem tickled Chahat. She giggled. Both sat on the bed, Chahat on Prem's lap. Heer came with breakfast and sat opposite to them. Heer feeds Chahat. Prem looked at her with a hope he will also get from her hand. She smiled and feed him also. Then Chahat and Prem feeds Heer. They had a family breakfast.

Later Heer went to office. Prem stayed with Chahat. Sanjana tried to enter the room but Chahat shouted at her before she step in 'goooe'. She wrapped her hand around Prem's neck and pointed prem to send her out. Prem smiled. 'Sanjana, don't disturb us. I'll meet you later.' Sanjana stayed downstairs for Prem. but Prem didn't come out until night. Prem came down for dinner with Heer and Chahat. He didn't look Sanjana even for one second.

Heer was struggling with office work and Chahat. Chahat always wants Prem to be with her. Heer heart felt happy when Prem started giving attention to her and Chahat. Heer was working in study room. Preet came in 'Bhabi, here is the file.' She started giving instruction. Preet followed. Finally Heer 'Preet, this is Prem's dream project. We should not make any mistake. Make sure everything is perfect.' Preet with tears 'Bhabi, don't worry. I'll take care of everything.'

Prem saw this 'when did my brother turn into a sincere business man.' He smiled and his heart felt heavy 'even in this situation she gives life to my dreams. God, Why you erased her memory from me?'

Part - 37

Prem and Heer are waiting for Preet. He went to hospital to collect the results. He came with a sad face. Heer ran to him with hope. 'Preet, did you got the result? When they will do the transplant?'

Preet with tears 'Bhabi, not matching. Both of your' Heer stood silent in shock.

Prem shocked 'how it is possible?'

Preet 'it is possible told the doctor. Now we have to find matching'

Before Preet continues Sanjana clapped. 'So Chahat is not Prem's daughter. not Heers.' She turned to Heer 'so you are cheating Juneja's with a fake child.'

Prem got angry. He slapped Sanjana 'shut up.'

Sanjana touched her face where Prem slapped her and thought 'I'm waiting for this opportunity' with anger she shouted 'you are slapping me for this cheater. I can prove that she is not Heer. She is Anjali. Only her face resembles your Heer.'

Prem shocked. Sanjana played the conversation between Heer and Sanjana. Coversation, which Prem told to act as Anjali to Sanjana. Preet and Heer stood there with Shock. Lalit and Gay3 are speechless and confused.

Prem got angry hearing Heer telling Sanjana that she is planning to trap Prem for money and not willing to leave him. Preet and Heer understood that some lines where edited to prove Sanjana is innocent and trying to save Prem from Anjali.

Heer 'Prem, this is.' Prem slapped Heer. Heer stood there with tears. 'Premmm.'

Prem 'how dare you are trying to take my wife's place using my memory loss.'

Preet interrupted 'PB, it is not true. It is a' Prem in anger 'Stop it Preet. You are supporting this cheater.'

Sanjana 'Prem, first she said she is your wife. Now see she is cheating your entire family.'

Prem with anger 'I allowed you to stay here thinking I lost the memory. But you took advantage and cheating my family.'

Gaya3 interrupted 'Prem, how can you blame her like this? We all know she is your wife. Sanjana is playing a trick in your life.'

Preet again opened his mouth but Prem 'Preet don't talk.' He turned to Heer 'I'll give you 30 minutes time. Leave from here.' he sat in the couch.

Heer looked at Prem with tears 'Prem. listen to me.'

Prem raised his hand and stopped her 'I don't have time to listen to your fake stories. Get last from here.' Sanjana gave a victory smile. Heer walked to her room to pack her things. Gaya3 'Heer' tried to stop Heer but she didn't listen. She ran upstairs wiping her tears.

Prem still confused about his feelings towards Heer. He saw Chahat moving away from him. She slowly got up and hides behind Gaya3.Prem felt his heart is urging him to pick up Chahat. He himself don't know how to react to his confusion. He kept his hands on his head.

Sanjana sat in the sofa with a happy smile. She looked at Prem and thought 'stupid Prem, you not only lost your memory. With that you lost your intelligence too. That is my strength. I chased your Heer out. Soon you are going to fall to my trap and your property is mine.' She is lost in her dream world.

Lalit dragged Preet inside.'what's all this Preet?'

Preet 'dad, PB only gave this idea to trap Sanjana, who sent Bhabi to get our property thinking she is Anjali not real Heer. Initially to save PB Bhabi hid her identity from PB. But couldn't hide in from of PB further she revealed her truth to him. So we decided to trap Sanjana and planned like this. But before we execute our plan PB met with an accident and forgot everything. Actually Sanjana is behind our property.'

Lalit thought for a while and gave a look to Preet 'now see my drama. What Sanjana is thinking about me? Mr. Lalit Juneja is not a idiot like her. I'm one of the leading businessmen. I know how to handle this kind of criminals.'

Lalit went to Living room, where Prem is waiitng for Heer to leave the house. Sanjana is sitting next to Prem with a smile. Lalit noticed Prem face. He is staring at his palm, which slapped Heer. Lalit smiled thinking 'oh dear still you are confused. Let me play my role here again.'

Heer went to her room. She closed the door behind. She leaned on the door and cried covering her face with her palm. She thought the day she got married to Prem, Prem declaring to media about their relationship, first time they become one, Prem surprises at different occasions, the day she came back to him and the day she confessed her identity to Prem. she picked her handbag. She didn't touch any of the things 'I don't want anything.' She took Prem, Heer and Chahat picture 'this is the only thing I need.' She didn't cry because she doesn't have any more tears left in her eyes. She became a lifeless body when Prem suspected him for cheating. 'I had hope that Prem will regain his memory but I lost all my hope now.' she picked up her handbag and closed the door and started stepping down the stairs remembering the sweet days with Prem and family.

Heer came down. Sanjana is jumping in her heart with joy. 'I never thought my things will be so easy. Prem chased his own soul out today.'

Heer took blessings from Lalit, he touched her head and looked at Prem with anger. She touched Gaya3's feet. Gaya3 cried 'where are you going?' she ordered with tears ' I'm saying you. Stay here.' Heer shook her head 'Ma, I lost my hope.'

Heer hugged Megher. Megher cried 'didi.'

Preet cried 'Bhabi, please don't go.' Heer shook her head. Tear drops fell to the ground.

Sanjana saw Heer is holding only her hand bag. She jumped near Heer thinking she is taking jewels, presented by Prem to her. 'So you are not taking any dresses only taking all the valuables from here.'

She decided to create one more scene. In a high voice she ordered 'show me what are you taking from here? I cannot believe you.' Prem is shocked by Sanjana's attitude without conscious. Heer stood silently looking at Prem face. He turned his face away.

Sanjana pulled the bag out of Heer's hand held the bag upside down to drop the things down in front of Prem. A picture frame fell before Prem. It is Prem, Heer and Chahat picture frame. Prem just stared at the picture.

Sanjana looked the bag inside and out and found nothing. She threw the bag down with a defeat.

Gaya3 shouted 'who are you to suspect my DIL?'

Heer picked up the picture and put into the bag. She looked at Prem again. She turned with tears to hold Chahat's hand who is behind Gaya3, holding her saree tightly. with trembling voice 'Chahat, come. Say bye.' Tears flowing out of her eyes like a river. Heer pulled Chahat hand.

Chahat turned and looked at Prem. Prem is now in tears looking at Chahat. Chahat waved her hand to prem 'bye Papa.'

Prem felt as if someone is mercilessly pulling his heart out of his body. He is sitting like a statue. Others expected some reaction from Prem, when Chahat waved him. He didn't react. Only his eyes threw tears out.

Chahat went to Lalit and touched his feet. He picked her up and placed a kiss on her forehead. Chahat cried 'Papa beet Ma.' He pressed his lips on her cheek. he whispered 'your Papa cannot live without you and your Ma.' He let her down. She went to Gaya3 and touched her feet. she picked up and cried pressing her lips on her cheek. Preet and Megher too hugged her and cried. Preet 'Chahat, you didn't touch Papa's feet.'

Chahat fearfully walked to Prem and touched his feet. Prem bent down to pick her up. Sanjana jumped in and pulled Chahat out and pushed to Heer. Chahat with tears again waved to Prem 'Papa Bye.' Heer gave a one last look to Prem, who is still staring at Chahat.

Heer held Chahat's hand and put one step forward to leave Prem forever. She thought 'Prem, you won't even come to know about our final days in this earth. Your Heer is going away from you forever.'

Prem heart said 'you lost everything today. You won't get your life again. You are a dead man.'

Chahat holding Heer hand walking out, her eyes are still on Prem. Heer don't have strength to look at Prem. she is staring down as she stepped forward to leave the house.
