Thanx to miss_precious, zabun, nikita, prerna27, sugi77, iqbal-pallavi and neetu2825 for your lovely comments, i don't deserve them but thanx for being so kind.

I stand up, staggering. It's only then that I find out exactly how much liquor I had downed last night. The alcohol has taken its toll on me and I can't stand up, my legs are violently shaking. I place my palm onto my head. It's only then that I remember the wounds from just one of the clumsy things I've done today. Not telling Meher, in fact showing Meher how I feel is very definitely the worst. I manage to stumble across the room, and walk unto the sink in the bathroom and open the hot water tap before taking water in my hands. I take a handful of water in my palms before splashing it in my face as I repeat the actions for few times until I feel that part of me is still alive.
I close my eyes for a moment. The first thing I do when I open them again is look at the clock that I see in the reflection of the bathroom mirror. The luminous red digits confirm that five solid hours have passed since I crashed. I slowly wipe my face and go out of the bathroom, walking up to the closet to see my reflection. I'm not dressed in the clothes I was in last night. I've just a pair of trouser and nothing else. I smile, how nice of Meher to have undressed me.

I take a look around my room. Ash's sat at the foot of my bed, smiling sweetly, her eyes so alive. I shiver inside, feeling nauseas and also as if I disrespected Meher once more by jumping to the conclusion it was her actions rather than Ash's. I try to close my eyes again and pretend to be asleep, but the game was up long before it started. She climbs closer to me and cuddles up to me. We fit together as perfectly as a pineapple would a piece of cardboard! I squirm, feeling repulsed.

"Look Ash, I need to speak to you. It's about us…" I pause there; she kisses my lip and slides her hand over my chest. I know it's her desperate act to get me started. It doesn't work. Instead I long for Meher's touch. "No Ash!" I practically shout. She takes her hand away and draws herself away too. I smile inside; happy to be free of the guilt having her gave me.

"It's her again isn't it?" She asks innocently.

"Who?" I ask. If she means Meher she'll be out of my life before she can dream of 'marriage' which I suppose would be the first thing on her mind. Does she have to be so, attached? I mean it was a night and here it is acting like we are the couple of the century.


"Meher! Who else Preet? She's the centre of your world and I'd never be good enough for you because she has already taken what I always wanted… needed but remember this I was the person you were with yesterday not that b***h, that you love. I was the person you slept with not her. Even though I wasn't their was I? She was in your mind when you were kissing me.. She was in your mind when you took me in your arms. Fine, just tell me what it is she has that I don't?" she shouts.

My heart dives into my stomach. I'm comparing the woman of all my dreams, the woman who stole my heart, the only woman I ever felt anything for and, Ash, the women I was only attracted to not in love, a childish girl that first I thought was amazing but now I know that she was only my schoolboy crush not the real thing. " Ash, don't think of it like that. I love her and I always will. Perhaps what we had was just an attraction not the real thing and even if it was like you claim it is than I'm married to her not you" I hint. She takes no such offer.


"So she's a fat bat and don't forget broing so that's what you like about her? You have changed your tastes then Preet from an owner to a servant, fantastic. I'll just borrow some used clothes from Ramu kaka than and yeah don't forget stuff my mouth with food than would you love me Preet?" she raises her voice. I plead that Meher is no-where near this room as I raise my voice higher than hers to make her shut her mouth which doesn't help at all.


"You leave Meher alone!" I warn, a little more menacingly than I hoped I will. I stand to my feet and grab her by the arm; dragging her outside the room and pushing her into her own room that she tends to love so much. She laughs loudly as I stare at her, she looks so… horrible as she stands up from her bed that I have thrown her into and claps her hand before moving closer to me this time like she wants to warn me or something. "You see Preet I don't care what she does or what you want. I only care about what I want and that is…. You"

I walk backward afraid of what might happen as she just stands their staring at me, laughing as I turn and slam the door behind me, noticing Meher's standing at the doorway of the hall.


"I told you she meant nothing!" I whisper, my heart melting but she just looks at me and turns around to make her way to our room. Great.

Next part coming up

Part 2:
Meher gain control at her feet, suddenly feeling like she couldn't breathe. "I shouldn't-I shouldn't have-" She shook her head, hair flying about her. "I'm sorry, you've got enough to deal with, I . . .erm . . .better go." She said hurriedly, the room spinning with the force she rushed to the door. She walked inside of her own room followed by her husband.

"Meher – wait!" Preet called after her, gently gripping her wrist before she left the room. "jus once listen to me, please." She stared at him for a moment, like a deer caught in the headlights, before nodding.

"Okay."

Ten minutes later and they were both sitting on the mattress of their bed. Meher's stomach lurched every time they looked at one another before deciding who speaks first; she regretted having been caught by her husband looking at him when she saw that he followed his ex to her room. "Meher, you can tell me to 'shut up', but . . . what's happened?" He took his eyes off the floor for a second to look at her, shockingly aware of every crystal tear that traced a path down her flawless face. He watched her as she looked back down, she looked so vulnerable just as he remembered as he got up and walked towards the window, deciding that it was time that he told her the truth.

"Nothing . . .i just…was going to see….. If you needed something."

"Nah – that can't be right. I know you, you wouldn't just sneak up on me not like that…. I went to her room because I wanted to explain her some stuff"

"Well, I'd never asked did i? I mean she is in your life not mine and I can't just assume that you got over her just like that."

"You don't believe that?"

"Don't I? Look preet you made things quiet clear lsat night and I'm not complaining it's just I should have known, but I didn't did I? And I can't . . . keep lying to myself, I need to get to the reality, you love her not me."

Preet's eyes snapped back onto hers; he'd never realised how they could pierce into a person before now. The way she looked at him was as though she could see right through him, could see every secret he was trying to hide from her, every thing he never wanted to admit to himself. "What?"

"I know," she repeated. "And I know you know too, so stop with the pretence." She brought her fingers to her mouth as she looked at him, picturing every moment that she had shared with this man before and every moment that they will be loosing after this conversation. She slowly nodded and flashed him a weak smile. There was an awkward pause, loaded with an agonising silence. "Y'know, you'd think I'd learn by now," Meher stated, unconsciously redirecting the conversation.

"Learn what?" Preet asked quickly, glad of the change in subject. Does she really know about me and Ash? Did Ash tell her? That makes no sense – why would she tell her something like that? And why was she still with him telling him about the promises that she had made if she had already told her?

"Every time I fall for someone, I should just run in the opposite direction – should never trust the lightning bolt!" She exclaimed, shaking her head, her hands curling around the glass of water that she had took.

Preet looked at her curiously, she looked so vulnerable right now, as if a sharp gust of wind could blow her apart. She shouldn't be like this, hurting like this. what the hell have I done? She loves me, trusted in me when no one else did, and I just jumped on the bed with the other women just because she had rejected me… just because I saw her with my brother when it should have been me. Ash, she don't know nothing' 'bout love, and I thrown everything I had with Meher away. You stupid plank! He took a sip of the dark liquid, feeling it burn the lining of his throat as it slithered to his stomach. "Lightning bolt?"

"Yeah," she nodded. "Y'know, that feeling you get when you see 'em, kinda feels like you've been shocked? That's what I got for each and every one – my childhood love, Dad, Mum, Harman and then . . ." Meher trailed off, looking away from him and staring into the swirling contents of her water.

Preet saw the tears slip from the corners of her eyes. His body moved of its own accord and before he knew what he was doing, he had wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "Hey,I promise you no one can hurt you anymore… you got me and I will always be with you no-matter what.. Promise"

Meher looked up at Preet, her eyes glassy with tears, and the man sitting in the Indian suit, complete with morals and he had no words for her. He couldn't console her because he knew nothing about what she felt. Preet felt his throat tightening and stinging sensations prickling at the back of his eyes. He unbuttoned his collar, trying to get air to his lungs; maybe that was what was making him feel like this.

"do you promise that… you always look after me?"

The question threw him, how could he answer that? "I've done a lot of things to . . . to hurt everyone but one thing I'm sure is that I will always be your side no matter what," he replied evasively, suddenly becoming uncomfortable under the scrutiny of her piercing eyes.

"But you still love her?" Preet shook his head as he watched his wife gave a smile as he spoke. "More fool us. Why do we do it, eh? Why bother with the feelings and the hurt? It should just be about sex – fun, exciting . . . meaningless…. Thought I loved her you know but now I realised that it was just an lust not love… not like I feel about you."

"And that's really what you want, is it?" She asked him, knowing full well what the answer would be.

"Would you believe me if I said 'No'?" he answered coyly, looking at her through his thick, lashes. Meher shook her head, chuckling slightly. Preet sighed. "Sometimes I wish it was that easy, and then about two seconds later I know that'll just hurt more . . .I miss you, Meher. I know you are here, but you might just as well be on the other side of the world. And every time I see you, I think to myself that do I deserve you at all . . .and I . . .I'm scared because you are everything to me . . .you are my world."

Meher closed her eyes, tightly shutting the lids, but the fiery tears traced a path down her cheeks. Preet felt his body jolt into action; he knelt down by her side and wrapped her in his embrace. He felt her cheek gently graze his and before either one of them knew what had happened, their lips collided in a bruising kiss. They pulled apart instantly, shocked expressions mirrored on both their faces. "Wh-what was that?" Meher asked shakily, bringing her fingers to her lips and tracing their outline. Preet was entranced by the movement, god how he'd loved the feel of those under his own.

"I- I dunno," he replied uncertainly, hastily stepping away from her. "I'm-I'm sorry."

Meher gently touched his hand and shook her head slightly. "Don't be." They looked at each other for a moment longer. Preet took an apprehensive step towards Meher, closing the distance between them. His fingers gently cupped the bottom of her face, slowly bringing it up to his own and once more their lips locked in a tender embrace.

he once again took his step back as he looked at the women in front of him gosh she was so beautiful, he turned around and sat on the bed as he watched the women that he had just kissed sit next to him, gently stroking his arm as she rested her head on his shoulder for a second. It was as though they had both been consumed by an unquenchable fire, needing to feel each other's skin against their own.

"I got to tell you something Meher…. It was about yesterday morning why I came home late"

ah oh, now comes the hard part...he has to confess. These kinds of confessions never end well😕. Though in this instance, I hope I am wrong.

It was a great update😊. You describe the internal struggle of the characters so perfectly. I especially liked the tender moments between the couple and Preet setting Ash. in her place😆. I never did like him with her (even in the show...so glad that is over, no offense to those who like the couple).

Thanx to iqbal_pallavi i.e yasmin, Neetu2825, my new reader thanx Ighosh, Nikita, sugi77 and Jamune for all your lovely detailed replies. It makes me really happy thanx a-lot.

Preet touched her arm, her head shot up immediately. Their emotions crackled in the air, so much so it was palpable. "After what happens today Meher…. I just want you to know that I love you O.K no matter what anyone says…. I'm only yours." His voice was low and smooth, intense and feeling. Just few words seemed to make her melt. And she loved every part of it. She smiled up at him, a smile that reached her eyes.

"You said that you wanted to tell me something." Her voice came out strained. "What is it?" The words seemed to consume every tendril of strength in her body. The breath stuck in her lungs, her voice choked in her throat. And it was all because of him.

"I'm sorry." Preet saw the smile that she had held from the moment he had told her what she meant to him. He'd seen it the moment he'd announced that he felt the same way that she had done and she wasn't living in false hope that one day he would also fall in love with her as she has done with him. she loved him with all her heart, she wouldn't ever be able to admit that, but last night proved how much she cared for him and that made her face the reality that she had fallen in love with this gorgeous man that was sitting in front of her.

"Don't be. It's for the best. I love you, don't I? We are meant to be together."

"I don't want to hurt you." He watched as she smiled once again, another smile that he knew so well. She'd perfected them ever since he'd had accepted her as his wife, or when she was really happy form her heart she would give this smile. He knew a-lot about her, what she does when she is upset than she would not say nothing and eat only one chapatti with pieces cut across like a child. When she was angry she would just stare at the space try to make herself calm before crying but when she was happy than she would smile like she was giving one today and would just sing to a song whole day by herself in a very soft tune.

"You have no idea what I went through everyday when I know, what I have done. It kills me inside Meher and there is nothing I can do to stop that moment so I erase everything back and make it like it should be…. Just us two." She smiled again, watching her husband shed the tear of guilt as she walked up to him and took him in her embrace making sure that anything that was eating him away would just melt away soon as her love touched his heart. He couldn't take it anymore; he'd tried so hard to be strong, to be happy just the way he used to be before sleeping with Ash, he couldn't lie to her anymore. But it tore him apart as soon as he starts to think what her reaction would be; it felt like every breath he took shuddered from his body. Every second that passed, she was in her thoughts. And she had no intention of leaving. Preet abruptly stood up from the bed. "You know when I came in yesterday morning looking rough and you asked me where I had gone?"

Meher smiled as she recalled the conversation that had taken place in between them, the moment when she had given into the temptation she was feeling for her husband. The loneliness that she had feared since the day she had taken vows in front of the holy fire promising that she will be with him no-matter what, all had came back to her. Reminding her that if she never felt like she did then still she had no right to take his love away from him. The pain of happiness reminded her, what she had lost and than how lucky she had been to get what she has now. A friend, a lover and most of all a soul mate.

"You told me that… you had gone asleep at the club and when you woke……"

"I lied… nothing of that sort had happened" he looked at her after all this moment he had found enough courage to turn around and look her in the eye, she deserved that at least. After what he had done he had no right to think about how he felt.

"What you mean… you lied… nothing of that sort happened did it Preet? Preet answer me please…. Please answer me" she cried as she hoped what she was thinking not happened. No her husband could have not been attacked. But then why did he lie? She needed to know if he told her this much than he has to tell her at least where he had stayed.

"That night after seeing you close with Harman bhaiya I thought you didn't love me…. You rejected me and told me that we have to live in reality and not the dream world so I went back to Ash thought she knew if I could check on a room for the night or at least I knew what I should be doing but………. After that I can't remember anything except I took her dress off and kissed her thinking that it was you……. When I woke up I found her naked with me, sharing the same bed"

"What? You slept with Ash?" She raised her eyebrow, a look of disbelief upon her face. This couldn't be happening, not to her.

"I'm so sorry Meher, believe me if I could take the time back I would but…." But he was cut short by the hand that came to his face. She slapped him as she walked away form the man she loved, he had betrayed her. Out of everyone she believed him the most and look where it had got her.

"Answer me… are you saying that you slept with Ash… I mean did you sleep with my cousin sister"

Preet nodded as he watched her sit down; far away form him as possible. This was going to be one long night.

Part 2 will be up shortely. what you think?
