Part 32
Meher awoke the next morning and it was like any other morning. She was comfortably lying in her bed which was warm and snug. She was dreaming and was at total peace, oblivious to the world around her. Suddenly, she sprang up to the blaring sound of her pulsating alarm clock. The sun was up and shining into her bedroom window. she got up, looked around, and observed the horizon with a disgruntled look on her face; admiring its beauty. She was rejoicing the moments spent with her and Preet last night and many more to come. As she got out of bed, she remembered that today was a special day, her special day which would only come once in her lifetime. As she held the pillow close to her heart and paced around the room nibling on the edge of the pillow, she remembered all the unforgettable memories that she had spent with Preet. She let out a giggle as soon as the 'saawariya' memory hit her.
Downstairs, Preet hadnt slept all night as he had been thinking about the engagement as well. Something was troubling him, he didnt know what, but something was definitely there for him to feel insecure about. Suddenly, Prem came in the room...
"Preet yaar, what happened...today is your engagement why do you look so nervous?" Prem asked Preet as he kept his right hand on Preet's shoulder who had his back to Prem, Preet turned around " Oyye,", Prem said as he jumped back "What happened to you? why are your eyes so..so...dark?" Due to not sleeping Preet had dark circles under his eyes. Heer came in and bursted into laughter
"You look like a racoon Preet, did anyone ever tell you that"
"Bhabhi, aap bhi na...I am so tensed here and all you two can do is make fun of me?"
"Why Preet, why are you tensed?" asked Prem with concern
"Arey Prem, Meri behan hai hi aisey...Anyone who sees her, loses himself in her" Heer replied as she stood proud of Meher being her sister
Prem stormed towards her..."To? My brother is not of any less. He is one in a million and any girl who sees him loses herself in him as well. Your sister is so lucky to be marrying my brother"
"Wait..wait wait wait wait" Heer rapidly said while pointing her index at Prem's nose as he looked at it with crossed eyes "My sister is lucky? My sister?...you mean your brother...you dont find girls like Meher so easily"
"You dont find many Preet's in this world too Heer"
She snapped twice and "Oyye, Prem.Whats in your head today?...you are talking so strange"
"You are in my head Heer" He teased
"What?" Heer got irritated and so she turned around and crossed her hands on her chest, "Prem..you..you are so..."
"I am so.."he interrupted
"Shut up prem..." she roared
"No you shut up" He smiled at her angry face
After a lot of back and forth arguing, Preet had had it. He held his head and crouched on the floor wondering what he had done to deserve this. He was already tensed in his thoughts and he didnt need these two to bicker and trouble him any further. He let out a scream and stormed out of the room leaving Prem and Heer confused...yet still bickering on whose sibling is luckier.

The sun was settling behind the sturdy hills in Mumbai taking away all its radiance from the city. The only house enlightened with great lights was of the Junejas as Meher and Preet's engagement were to be taing place there.
"Prem..." Heer said in a frusterated tone as she was still angry at the argument that had taken place
"Kiya Heer? What do you want" He said with an irritable tone as he was still mad at her too from the outside. From the inside however, he wanted to speak with her so badly.
"Woh...Its Preet's engagement today" she said with an unchanging expression
"So what should i do? Its their engagement. And tell me something i dont know"
"Be quiet Prem, you are so mean. I was asking if you could take me to the salon to get ready but its okay...ill go myself" Heer picked up her bag and left the room. As she rushed down the stairs, Gayatri tried to stop her but Heer said she had to go. Even after Gayatri's order of not leaving the house, Heer snuck out of the house without anyone's notice.
Heer had just stepped out on the steps when her sandals caught on to her sari and almost fell face first. Heer's heart pumped rapidly as her life flashed back in her mind. She let out a scream for Prem as she didnt want to lose the baby. She tried hard not to fall but sadly, the weight up front was too much to handle. Suddenly, Prem screamed Heer from behind and held her waist gently to make sure that he doesnt hurt her. They both had an eye lock for a while until everyone rushed outside the house.
"Heer, what are you doing outside" asked a concerned Gayatri "Didnt i tell you to stay inside... you shouldnt go out like this Heer"
"Didi, what were you thinking, you cant just think of yourself now...you have another life inside you" Meher replied
Each of the family members had something to say except Prem who just stared at her. At the shock of almost losing their child, Heer and Prem did not dare to let out a word. They just looked at each other; Heer with shame...Prem with shock.
Gayatri asked Prem to take Heer to the Salon and so he took his car from the garage. The ride was quite when they sat as they were both still trying to absorb the event that had just occured... what if they did lose the baby...what would happen to their trust on having a child afterwards...what would Prem do...what would Heer do? Many question of that sort kept ringing in their heads as they drove. Suddenly, Prem heard sniffles and so he stopped the car. He came to the other side, near the passangers seat, opened the door, and helped Heer out...he didnt dare scream at her even though he was angry at her act...
"Heer, what were you about to do?...How can you be so careless" Prem asked as he carressed her hair and took her face in his hands. She was weeping...weeping like she had just lost someone close to her. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was red. It was easy to tell that her heart was pacing and that moment of her almost losing her child had been sewed into her brain.
"I dont know Prem...i dont know what happened. I was just really angry. Angry that you weren't talking to me" She replied as she cried more and looked on the floor.
A sudden gust of wind blew as the silver mist took its course surrounding the black velvet like skies.
"Heer, I was joking around. I wanted to talk to you just as much as you did. Maybe even more. It wasnt as if I was scared of losing this child...our child...I was scared of losing you Heer. Heer I... I love you. And my love grows every minute that I see you. Losing you is not an option I consider, nevermind even thinking about. Heer please...from now on...please be careful..."
On that note, Prem hugged Heer and rested her head on his chest. Her knees felt weak and so she crouched down on the ground. Prem followed. They both looked into each others eyes apologetically and cried at the event that had occured. He stroked her hair away from her face and kissed her tear. At this act, Heer looked up gently in his eyes which caused him to weep even more as her solemn eyes were a symbol of the pain she had almost gone through. Prem held her hand in his and gently squeezed it.."Smile Heer..please smile". He asked her with care. Heer couldnt help but to smile at his affection. The two ended up crying even more. Their fight was finally over. The two got back into the car and headed for the salon...
"Heer?" Prem questioned...
"haan Prem"
"I am the one who gave in to the fight, I am the one who consoled you, I am the one who hugged you...yet you didnt do anything...not even one i love you" Prem said jokingly
"Prem, what makes you think I love you?" Heer questioned as she tried to irritate him
'Dont you?" He said with a concern as he wanted to know ..."I know you do Heer...you know how I know...because of my love inside you. Its proof that you love me Heer"
Heer blushed when he made that comment. It was true though...She did love him.
"Prem..I..."
"Haan Heer...tell me..."
"Prem..I...I..."
"I..I.. what Heer"
"I...Love"
He was now looking at her with so much hope in his eyes, so much faith and awaiting those three words with all his heart.
"Kutta"
"Kutta?"
"Haan Prem....Look ahead..Stop the car.."
Prem hurriedly pressed the breaks and covered his eyes with his hands. Heer laughed at his anxiety.
"Arey yaar...these dog i would like to strangle all of them...They are every where...Yesterday, they disturbed Preet and today me."
"I guess they have something against the Juneja brothers right Prem?"
Prem looked at Heer angrily who was laughing but eventually he broke into laughter as well and was happy Heer was safe and sound....
