PART 4:
"ahh...Di aap?"
"Kyun?....thoda intezar nahin kar sagte kya?....Thodi dher mein to tum dono ki shaadi hoy jayengi..."
"Nahin...di...aisa na..."
"Bas Harmon....ab Meher ko jaane do....isko tehyar jo karna hai...chalo Meher..."
As Meher followed Kulraj back towards the doorway leading into the house she felt a tug on her dupatta causing her to look back at Harmon.....their gazes locked a silent communication flowing from one to the other....
...
As Harman began to get ready for the wedding ceremony...he couldn't get the images of Meher out of his mind....he could still feel her heartbeat as he stood so close to her....he could still taste her tears....the softness of her skin...still feel her....
"Bhaiya?...."
Preet's quiet call broke into Harmon's thought....
"Haan...Preet bolo.."
Preet told Harmon all about how he mortgaged the house and was tricked into mortgaging to Rishab.....
....
Meher was also in deep thoughts....she couldn't get away from the feelings that Harmon evoked in her....the more she tried to fight them the harder it became.....
....
Harmon couldn't get Preet's words out of his head....what were they ging to do?...how could they overcome this new obstacle?.....
rrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggg...rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnng....
The insistent ringing of his mobile erupted in the room....reluctantly Harmon reached for it and without looking at the caller ID answered it.....
The call had come from Maya's father....Maya had attempted suicide...........what?...why?....mujhe jaana ho ga....?
Harmon rushed out of the room and towards to his car.....he had no ideas that someone had been listening to his conversation and had witnessed his retreat.........
....
"Kya mujhe yeh shaadi karni chayhi?....Kya Harmon...mujhe..mujhe pyar....." The flashes of Harmon holding her....kissing her broke into Meher's thoughts......her heartbeat wouldn't stop racing....she felt...confused?.....overwhelmed?.....anxious?.......she couldn't identify it...she felt everything...but more than that she felt fear.....a fear she could identify......there was no one she could talk to....the only one who had grown close to her in the last few months.....who could understand her.....was the one person she couldn't talk to.....he was the cause of all these feelings............
"Meher....tum yaha tehyar ho rahi ho...aur waha Harmon..." It was Kuljeet chachi...
"Kya hua chachi....?"
"Kya? Tumhe nahin pata?...Tumhe to pata ho ga na.....ke is ghar ko ghirbi (mortgage) rakha gaya hai...aur humare pas to koi paise....."
"Yeh aap kya kehri hai chachi...?"
"Aur ab...bechari Veera ki shaadi......."
"Veera ki shaadi...? Mujhe kuch samaj nahi araha hai ke aap kya kehne ...."
" Abhi Harmon ko phone aya ke Maya ne kudh kushi karne ki koshish......"
"Kya Maya..."
"Haan...aur uske papa ne Harmon ko yeh shart di hai ke woh Maya se shaadi kare to woh usko is ghar ko bechana ke liye paise.......Anyway...tum yaha tehyar ho jao...main abhi athi hoon..."
With that....Kuljeet left the room with a sly smile......she would ensure that no one in this family would get what they wanted...and this Meher and her sister.....the cause for the humiliation of her sister...ha!
.....
When Kuljeet left the room...Meher became too restless......She knew that Harmon was in love with Maya....he would feel responsible for what Maya would have done....and he would need to protect this family....but he because of his promise to Babuji and his sister Veera....he would feel compelled to wed Meher........what should she do....?...... She had to go speak to him....had to find him.....
She quickly made her way to Harmon's room......
.....
Upon finding the room vacant of its occupier she knew he had gone....and knew exactly where he had gone...and to whom......he had chosen.............
