Part 17-KARTHIKA be hhappy nooww!!
"Mamma, can I take Heer to the Mandir. She needs to pray for her child" said Preet as he ate his break fast
"Haan beta, but Heer's mother called, she wants to see Heer", replied Gayatri
"Wait what, my mother called. Did she tell you anything....I mean to say did you guys have some sort of discussion about me?" Heer replied with concern
"No beta, she was in a hurry. She just wanted to see you!" replied Gayatri
"Okay Gayatri Aunty, Me and Preet will go", replied Heer
The next day, Heer woke up and packed her bags as they were planning to leave for Ludhiana. Heer took some of her cloths, not saris, and packed them in a black bag. Preet took some of his and Prem's cloths and had also packed them in another bag. They both met outside their rooms and walked down the stairs together. Each had a peice of toast and some warm milk, and said they will eat more on the way as they were already getting late to which Gayatri opposed but eventually let them go.
Preet opened the back door of the car to let Heer in. After Heer settled down in the car, Preet left for another car. Heer opened the window and said
"Preet,where are you going, we have to go to the Mandir together"
"Let him go Heer, I am here" replied a deep voice from the front of the car
As she heard the sound, her body felt limb. She couldnt turn her head, nor breath nor could she say anything; it was as if she had been paralyzed by hearing his words, his voice...his distinct voice.
Finally she managed to turn around. Her eyes, downcasted before, looked up slowly and the sight of Prem brought a smile on her face. As he saw her blushing, he couldnt help but feel red himself. Knowing what had happened a few days ago in the rain, the kiss, he knew Heer was head over heels for him. He knew he felt the same way for her as well, maybe more.
Prem opened the door of the car and stepped outside, he then opened the back door and let Heer out. She turned the other way so that she could come to the front while Prem held her duppatta from the back preventing her from moving. She thought the duppatta was stuck in the door and so she turned quickly to pull it out. Her silky hair flicked across Prem's face causing her to move back shockingly. She hurriedly said she was sorry and didnt mean to do that. All he could do was just stare at the bloopers that she was making. He was holding her duppatta tightly so she decided to take it from his hand. At the touch of her hand, Prem felt a rush of blood in his body and Heer could feel the blood rushing up to her cheeks. She was too shy to look up at his eyes. She felt like crying, laughing, melting, dying, anything that one could possibly feel in a lifetime, she was living through it all in just one moment.
Preet honked which made them realize that they had to leave. Prem quickly opened the passangers door to let Heer in and as she settled in, he left for the drivers seat. Both the cars left leaving Lalit, who was watching all this, shocked.
At the Mandir, Preet took off his shoes and went to get a tray which consisted of Prasad and a diya and other Holy things meant to properly fulfill a prayer. He also purchased a garland to put it on the idol of the God at the Mandir.
Prem stepped out the car and went to the Passanger's seat to let Heer out. Mesmerized by the moment that had occured a few minutes ago, she tripped due to her heels getting caught in her dupatta. Prem quickly grabbed her, his hands on her slender waist looking into her eyes, which were looking down, her hands on his shoulder tightly hooked so she wouldnt fall. After getting her back to her feet Prem said
"Do you have anything else left to do which requires me, or do you want to go"
This made Heer look away shyly and brought a smile on Prems face.
Prem bent down to take off his shows but caught a glance of Heer's sparkling feet. She was also trying to take off her pink strappy sandles. Prem brought his hands to her feet and helped her take off her sandals. As soon as his hands touched Heer's feet, she wanted to fall. Her feet couldnt help her stay up anymore, it was as if the blood from her feet flushed away, preventing her from staying stable. After he helped her with her sandals, he took off his and they climbed the stairs.
"Kia ho gaya tha, itni daer kyun lagadi?"(what haapened, why were you taking so long) said Preet
All three performed the Prayer and left for Ludhiana
Prem once again helped Heer out of the car upon arriving in Ludhiana.The two brothers and Heer walked owards the door and rang the bell at which Meher answered. Chandi ho tum (from main hoon na when Shahrukh was singing for Ms.Chandni) played in the background as Preet's eyes got a glance of Meher. She was dressed in a typical Punjabi Salwar suit of lime green color. Her hair was open and she was holding a tray, similar to the one at the Mandir, to invite the guest and to welcome her sister once more.
Heer and Prem walked in the house but Preet remained still outside, his eyes opened as wide as they could possibly get.
"Come in,Preet...ji"said Meher
"I am coming...Ms.chandni"replied Preet
"My name is Meher" replied an irritable Meher
"Oh sorry"replied Preet apologetically
As the family members and guests gathered in the hall, the chatter got louder, the laughter got louder, and catching a glance of Heer became quite complicated for Prem.
At dinner, Teji (heer's mother), kept talking to Heer about how thin she is been getting too thin
"Youre fading away Heer, thats why i said not to go to Mumbai. Please finish the dinner. You dont look punjabi anymore"
"Haan puttar, us Punjabis are sturdy and strong, even the woman. Prem you need to eat your food too. Youre not sturdy either" replied Heer's grandpa
"Why isnt anyone asking me?" replied Preet
"Oh right right, Preet lena kuch (take something)" said Teji
"No mamma, he has eaten enough" replied Meher jokingly.
Mehers act made Preet smile as he said
"Yes, i feel welcomed already. I have had enough and I think Meher has too" replied Preet while he winked at Meher
This made everyone laugh...
After dinner, Prem went to take a quick shower. After he steeped out of the bath tub, he realized he had left the towel outside. He called for Preet but there was no reply. Heer 'coincidentally' walked in and saw the towel on the bed. She hesitantly grabbed the towel and slowly handed it to Prem. Prem said
"You took so long Preet, I have been waiting here shirtless for 15 minutes...Hey Preet, how did your hands become so soft?"
"Umm, main Preet nahi hoon (I am not Preet)" replied a shocked Heer. She wanted to let go off his hands and run so that she could feel her heart beat again.
Prem slowly opened the door and quickly pulled Heer towards him (remember, he was shirtless). Heer kept her hands on his chests as she didnt want to fall. After realizing that her hands were on his bare chest, she took her hands off. She looked down...
"Where are you looking Heer, admiring me?" replied Prem in an erotic voice
"Nahi woh" replied Heer confusingly and she looked in his eyes which were staring straight at Heer. She couldnt look at his eyes so she looked back down. She realized she was looking down at his bare body again. She didnt know where to look. She just closed her eyes. Prem realizied her uneasiness as she was so close to him. He ran her fingers throught her hair and helped her rest her head on his chest. After a few moments of being so close to one another, Heer realized what she was doing. She gave him the towel, smiled and tried to leave. Prem grabbed her wrist from the back preventing her from leaving
"Kahan jaa ri ho (where are you going?)" said Prem
"Prem please let me go, anyone could come, and please put on your shirt" said Heer in a faint voice
"Nahi, abhi to nahi (not right now), first give me a kiss"
This shocked Heer. She twisted her hand and was finally set free by Prem. She left the room blushingly and smilingly. Prem lied on the bed and dreamt about the moment when he'll finally be able to be with her, touch her, kiss her...
At that particular moment, Teji walked in and closed her eyes and turned around.
"prem woh, how much sugar do you take in your coffee?"She asked, she was still turned around
Prem quickly grabbed his shirt and covered his bare chest. He blushed and said 2 spoon please. He apologized and left the room
Meher was making coffee in the kitchen when Preet walked in.
"What are you doing Meher?"
"I am dancing...cant you see I am making coffee. I mean what do you do in a kitchen? Play around?" Said Meher
"Arey Yaar, why do you get irritated so easily?" Replied Preet
At this, she looked at Preet with a dirty look and left with the tray of coffees. At that moment, Preet decided that Meher would be his life partner and he wil make her fall for him....
So guys...what do you think..LOVE IS IN THE AIR...!! LOL Please comment...
