So I thought it would be best to post part 1 now, rather than later, lest I forget about it. The idea of using song lyrics I got from 'Ek Paal' if I'm not wrong. Amazing fic, go read it! And this part is dedicated to Nans, who unknowingly gave me a song to use through her wonderful VM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saans Leti Hu Yaara, Main Tera Naam Lekar
Keh Dungi Is Jahan Se, Tu Hi Hai Mera Dilbar
Zindagi Mil Gayi Hai, Bas Tere Dil Mein Rehkar
Aur Rab Se Kya Maangoo, Haath Aapne Utha Kar
Yeh Tera Dil Hai Sanam, Jo Mere Sine Mein Hai
Tujhse Hi Zinda Hu Mein, Keh Rahi Hai Dhadkane
Chahta Hu Itna Tujhe
Heer made a face as the sunlight streamed through her window onto her face. She tried burying her face into her pillow but it was of no use. She was already awake. Yawning slightly, she rose from the bed and blearily made her way to the bathroom. About five minutes later she returned, fresher and more alert. She hummed slightly as she quickly got ready.
"Di! Nashta!" Meher called from the floor below. Smiling at the sound of her sister's voice, Heer marveled at how Meher had gotten back her bubbliness and outspokenness, though she had matured at the same time.
"Di-"
"Arre baba, bas. Main yahi hoon," Heer cut her off as she descended the stairs. "Baki sab kahan hai?"
"Ash kitchen mein hain, Veera ke saath. Harman aur Nihaal Bhaiya office ka kuch kaam kar rahe hainn," Meher replied.
"Aur Preet?" Heer asked, noting Meher's exclusion of the youngest of the three men.
"Voh to hotel chala gaya." Meher braced herself for Heer's reaction. She was not disappointed.
"Kya? Bina kuch khaye, bina kissi se mile chala gaya? Kaunsa kaam tha usse ke itni jaldi nikal gaya?" Heer questioned angrily. "Main Ashlesha se puchti hoon."
"Di, Preet ne kaha ke use naya lead mila hai," Ash informed her visibly annoyed cousin as she came out of the kitchen, a plate in hand. She knew how particular Heer was about everyone spending time together.
Heer nodded in acknowledgement, still upset. Ash grinned slightly and hugged her with one hand. "Ab muskurao please? Meri bachchi apni masi ko khush dekhna chahti hain. Muskurao to," Ash coaxed, placing Heer's hand on her stomach.
Shaking her head at Ash playfully, Heer asked Veera to call the men for breakfast. The next twenty minutes were light-heartedly spent with the family surrounding her, joking and playing around. 'How much has changed in just one year,' Heer thought to herself, grinning slightly as she spotted Harman unsuccessfully trying to steal some of Meher's food. Her gaze landed on Prem's photo, and her heart ached in longing.
'Kahan ho tum Prem? Bas teri kami hai yahan. Vaapas aajao Prem.'
Dark brown eyes searched the sky, looking for some answers, albeit unsuccessfully. His heart ached, but he did not know why. He was missing someone, but he couldn't remember who. He felt as though someone he knew, someone he cared about, someone he loved tremendously, was hurting. This feeling had plagued him for the better part of the last year, but he did not understand why.
"Prem," the female voice broke him out of his reverie. He turned around to smile at the owner of the voice. "Tum yahan ho? Main kab se tumhe dhoondh rahi thi.." She approached him, shaking her head in affection. "Kya hua? Khayalon mein phirse kho gaye?" she teased.
Prem shook his head, slipping his hands into his pockets. Turning back around to look out the window, he replied, "Mujhe aaisa lag raha tha jaise koi mujhe bhula raha tha. Pata nahin kyun mujhe aaise lag raha tha."
"Main bhula rahi thi, silly," she giggled, hugging him from behind. She placed her head on his shoulder. "Tum bhi na, Prem, kabhi kabhi bas kho jaate ho."
Prem nodded, glad she could not see his face. He was not sure of her explanation, though it made sense. But her looking for him did not explain the desperation he felt, or the loneliness. It made no sense. He was far from alone, he was here with a beautiful woman who adored him, for god's sake, but still he felt as though something was wrong with this picture. Something, some very vital thing, was missing.
"Shayad tum sahi ho Sanjana," Prem answered quietly, but while this answer pleased her, it did nothing to quell the feeling that the name that was to be joined with his in a number of months should be someone else's.
Har Taraf Tu Hi Dikhe, Tu Hi Tu Dil Mein Rahe
Kya Kahon Tere Bina, Ek Pal Bhi Na Kate
Yeh Meri Saason Mein Bhi, Teri Hi Khusboo Rahe
Tu Lahoo Ban Ke Sanam, Jism Mein Mere Bahe
Chahta Hu Itna Tujhe
