part 10
rr's mom came in running when she saw her son raising his hand on heer. she told him to stop.
rr.mom- what are you doing risabh? don't you know she's pregnant?
rr- pregnant my foot! you don't know ma what she has done...... it's all because of her that prem has escaped and you're telling me to stop! i will not leave her she's going to pay for this...... do you get that heer ...be ready ,, you'll have to pay for it......
saying this rr left the house and rr's mom consoled a crying heer. she made her drink some water and wiped her tears. heer was still sobbing and shivering with fear.rr's mom took heer to her room and told her to sleep. she made her lie down on her bed and left the room after putting out the lights.
since the past few days she had been thinking a lot about heer. it had been almost a month that heer had come into the house and she had been observing her very closely. her simplicity..... her soberness.... her quietness.... her grace.... everything attracted her. there was something about this girl that had made her to develop a liking for her. it was true that heer and risabhs so called marriage had never taken place but it would have then she would have been the happiest person...as she had always wanted her son to settle down in life . she didn't know why but there was something in heer that made her think that she was perfect for her son.....heer was the one who could handle her son but whenever she saw the way rr behaved with heer or the fact that he had never accepted heer as his wife made her sad. heer was perfect for rr and it didn't matter to her that she was carrying someone else's child ...........as the child was also heer's ........ her daughter-in-law's.
daughter-in-law........ yes that was the word that came to her mind whenever she saw heer. she was well aware of the fact that heer was not rr's legal wife, but somehow she desperately wanted this relationship to be legal.... so that heer could stay in her son's life forever.
on hearing prem's voice eveybody came running to his room.
prem- please call heer........ i want to speak to her.... i can feel that she is in trouble..... please call her preet
preet was trying hard to pacify prem. all the others also tried to calm him down but it was of no use as prem was adamanant on speaking to heer then and there.
seeing no other way out, lalu decided to tell prem the truth. he told him how she had made a haste decision to marry rr even though she was well aware of the fact that he was the one who had left no stone unturned to destroy the juneja's and had spoiled veera's life.
prem did not utter a single word......... he was shocked.....he did not know how to react at this news. it was as if someone had taken the soul out of his body...... his mind had stopped working. the words kept ringing in his ears...... heer married to rr..... heer conspiring with rr against his family......... no way..... heer...... his heer was not like that..... she could never conspire with rr.....the same rr who had hurt him.......she could never hurt her prem........ never...... there was something missing......... something that his heart and mind was not accepting....and he had to find out what it was.....
everybody left prem alone so that he could come to terms with reality. a single drop of tear ran down her cheeks. his heer was no more his.... she was someone else's.... he could not believe why heer had done that.... why... why.... why...
he felt a sudden urge to speak to her and decided to call her.
as heer lay in her bed her thoughts drifted towards prem. had they told him about her... how had he reacted... what was he doing now....... suddenly she felt a sharp tinge and looked at her arms. the burn signs were clearly visible,....she suddenly bit her lips at the sharp contrast of her fate..... if she would have been with prem now he would have taken care of her like anything... he would have never allowed her to even step down from the bed.... he would have given in to all her demands and cravings..... would have pampered her.... she would have been lying in his arms now .... he desperately trying to make her go off to sleep so that both his wife and child got some rest......... her thoughts were broken with the sharp ringing of the phone and made her aware of the pain which she was having. she closed her eyes trying to get rid of the pain and answered the phone"hello"
"heer" the voice on the other side was musical to her ears but at the same time she did not miss the pain in them.
