Chapter 25
So there was more to the conference than met the eye. The law firm had now expanded all the way to LA. thanks to heer, mostly.
but what concerned him most was the proposed one year stint in LA by the new partners. Not wanting any glitch, they wanted Prem to personally look over
the workings, for millions of dollars were at stake. now, the only problem was that he had no idea how he was going to break it to heer.
"you know, i think im ready to be a dada now", said lalit cheerfully.
"you need to get your sons married for that", said gayathri distractedly while hovering around the kitchen.
"i was coming to that. i have decided that its high time prem gets married", lalit exclaimed
"bol toh aap aise rahe hai jaise ladki paas ke wal mart mein milti ho!!", laughed gayathri."thodi to shram kijiye,
dada banne ke chakkar mein aap apne beto ke baare mein mat bhooliye"
"gayathri ab tum bad ladki dekhna shuru karo",said the older man ignoring her earlier comment.
"theek hai baba, done. kaam ho jayega"
"done? done ka kya matab hai??ladki dekhna ek baat hai par woh prem ko pasand bhi to aani chahiye. phir rishte ki baat, sangeet, shaadi,
arrangement itna kkam pada hai aur tum keh rahi ho ki done. what done??" said lalit exasperatedly
"uffo, aap bhi na baccho jaise zid karte hai. ladki dhoondna hai na??toh hai mere nazar mein ek ladki"
"accha??" said lalit sounding like a kid in acandy store."kon? kahan?? kaise?? new york mein?? kab mil rahi ho??
"bas bas. aap relax kijiye. BP high ho jayega. aur ladki se hum tabhi milenge jab prem chahega"
"tab to iss janam mein mera dada banana mushkil hi nahi , namumkin hai. prem ki marzii ho to woh toh apne office ki file se hi shaadi karega!!" said lalit dramatically.
toh shayad aap apne bete to jaan nahi paye hai, thought gayathri
"khair ladki kaisi hai?? prem ko pasand aayegi?", asked a inquisitive lalit.
"aap uski chinta mat kariye, ladki bohat acchi bhi hai aur apne prem ko pasand bhi aayegi" she accidently slipped out while seeing heer decend
down the stairs.
"what?? pasand hai??", asked lait confused.
"i mean usse zaroor pasand aayegi", gayathri corrected herself.
"good morning ma, bauji",heer greeted."subah subah kya baatein ho rahi hai?" she asked while helping herself with some cornflakes.
wanting to tease heer a little, gayathri casually said,"kuch nahin beta, tumhare bauji prem ki shaadi ki baat cher rahe the"
"dada banane ki jo jaldi hai", said added smirking.
Shaadi??, heer gulped.
"kyun heer beta?? theek hi keh raha hoo naa. aur phir tujhe aur meher ko bhi to apne apne sasural jaana hai",lalit explained.
gayathri who stood ata distance thoroughly enjoyed the mixed emotions washing over heer's face. kids, she though.
"ji" was all heer could summon for a response after gulping down her cereal in a lumpsum.
"umm.. ma im gonna head for office now", heer said, trying to get out of there as soon as possible.
"beta, wait for two minutes. prem aata hi hoga",said gayathri pulling heer's leg.
"err..nahi ma. i have a meeting, cant be late. bye!", heer mumbled and scurried out.
giggling, gayathri went back to her work. it had been ages ago when she sniffed something between these two.initially what started as an edgy and
irrate behaviour over night turned into something completely different. heer's little impromtu trip to LA was definetly a turning point. she had never seen
he son as restless as he was for that one week heer was gone. his cover up- sanjana too didnt work. however, as much as they tried their growing closeness,
it did not escape gayathri's eyes. little things they did unconsciously only confirmed her suspicion. wheteher it was going to office together, getting restless
when the other was late from work, moving up to make room for her on the couch,or just fixing his jacket. they were completly oblivious to the world around them.
but gayathri was extremely pleased with her son's taste. she couldnt imagine anyone better then Heer for her Prem.
now it was prems turn. gayathri had decided not to interfere. sure, a little nudge here and there wouldnt hurt. but she was going to wait for the day when prem
would come and tell her that Heer is the girl he wants to marry. there was just no other way to it.
throughout the ride to work heer's ever interfering brain kept [popping bizzare ideas about what prem wanted to tell her.
"maybe prem bought a pet goat?", her brain exclaimed.
oh would you please keepur ideas to yourself, heer barked back while waiting at the traffic signal.
"or maybe a hampster??"
would u please shut up. god!! why do you never work when you have to??, breathed heer looking skywards
"maybe he's hiding something", he brain said dramatically.
isnt that obvious dufus!!
"maybe its another woman?"
No! prem would never do that, heer said confidently.
"something illegal?"
impossible and ur truly pathetic!
"fine! dont listen to me but dont get bugged when i say 'toldya!!' later on! humph!"
it had been hours while she was in office but every time she'd try to meet prem he would either be out or in a meeting. finally loosing the last ounce of patience
heer barged in his room.
"are you trying to run away from me?? or are you trying tpo avoid me ? cause either way if you are, you're highly mistaken Mr. Prem Juneja. I will hunt to down to
the deepest corner of the earth to demand an explanation. So-"
"heer, meet mr. Rohan. Our partner from LA", said prem suppressing a laugh.
"oh!! hello mr. rohan nice to meet you, heer maan", she introduced herself.
"heer would you like to join us?", asked prem smirking.
"umm.. no. i have a meeting in 20 mins. you carry on", she replies embarrased.
it was hours later when heer finally returned. "so are you gonna tell me or what??"
too engrossed in work prem didnt even notice her coming in.
" i mean seriously ever sice that might my mind is on an over drive. i've scrapped the bottom of the barrel, my brain has come up with the most bizzare and not
to mention the most pathetic possibilities. so please, for my sanity just tell me and get over with it. i'm desperate!"
"you missed your calling, you'd have made a great writer", said prem, amused.
throwing her hands up in frustration heer began to leave. prem pulled her close to him and tucked her bangs behind her ear.
"heer", he breathed," i need to go to LA"
"wait, thast it?? and here my brain was thinking-"
"for a year. that projects demands it."
