Part 2

*one week later

Dusk fell as usual on that Saturday evening, but not with the usual calming sense it usually held. Instead cries filled the air.

"Maa, apne meri joote kahin dekhe?"

"Teji, ye yahaan kyun hai?"

"Arre bhiayia, gakar ka halwa samalke!"

By 7:00 pm on the dot the servent came in. "Saab, Lalit bhaisaab darvaze pe hai." The Mann parrivar jumped to their feet and rushed towards the door. Heer grabbed the pooja ki taali because she knew like always her mother would forget about it in the rush. Predictably, Balraj reached the door first and flung it open. Standing in front of him was his best friend, his brother – Lalit Juneja. Both looked at each other for a couple of seconds before bursting out in laughter, embracing each other tightly. Gayatri and Teji exchanged amused looks and hugged tightly. Teji then suddenly remembered "Pooja ki taali!" Heer gently tapped her mother's shoulder. "Ye lo Maa." Teji took the taali and preformed the welcoming pooja. During this long pooja, the children stood shoulder to shoulder sizing each other up, knowing they would have to tolerate each other for who knows how long.

Harman immediately recognized Ashlesha among the three beautiful girls; she looked exactly the same as before. He was in awe, were girls allowed to be that beautiful? Harman was interrupted out of his trace with his two year old son insisting on being picked up. While Harman was occupied with his son's blabbering, Ashlesha chanced a peak in his direction. Most of the time she would have gone right up and stuck her hand out for a shake but she didn't know this time what was holding her back. She giggled to herself as lil Arjun poked Harman in the eye for amusement.

Prem shuffled his feet and kept his gaze to the ground. He only lifted his eyes when he heard someone in a soft yet recognizable voice say "Ye lo Maa." That had to be Heer. He looked up and was shocked to see the she was staring back not at all disturbed from the fact that everyone was right there. Staring into each other's eyes, it seemed like the whole 6 years they knew each other were flashing before their eyes. The countless ice-cream cones, playing various games in the fields, swinging for hours on their "special" swing. Shyly, Heer lowered her eyes. Oh gosh, what would he think! That she loved him? She certainly did NOT! Yet, she couldn't hide from the fact that there was a connection.

Preet yawned obviously. This was sooooo boring. If he was in Canada right now, he would have been out with his friends or with one of his many girl-friends. But look at him now. Standing in from of a family he "supposedly" grew up with and the family that their family had lived with till Preet was 4. He barley remembered anything and was fine with him like that. He looked up and caught the eye of a girl who was grinning at Balraj and Lalit embrace for the millionth time. She looked at him, saw his boredom and immediately raised an eyebrow. He mimicked her and she stuck her tongue out at him. Preet was taken back! Did this girl not know he was a present from God to all the girls in the world?!?! How dare she! Preet rolled up his sleeves with a naughty smile playing on his lips. His next mission in life: Make this girl fall head over heels in love with him.

All that happened in the space of a mere 15 seconds. The next moment Balraj and Teji ushered the Juneja family into the sitting room while the girls disappeared in to the kitchen only to return with glasses of water for everyone. Teji then forced everyone to get settled while she and the girls got their dinner ready. "Sukhi beta," Baraj said to his youngest daughter. "Jaa, saab ko apne kamre tak leke jao." Sukhi nodded excitedly was up standing before anyone else had even registered what Balraj said.

"Chachaje aur Chachi jee, ye hai aapka karma!" Sukz announced. "Aur Harman Bhai, aapka aur Arjun ka karma yahaan hai! Prem bhai, aap mere saath chalo….ye hai aapka karma, bilkul Heer di ke paas, kuch hona hai toh unse pooch lo!" Sukhi then turned to Preet. Her voice suddenly all cold she said, "Your room is at the end of the hall, I trust you can find your way there Mr.Juneja?" And with that Sukriti turned on her heel and stomped all the way downstairs leaving an infuriated Preet behind.
