PART-2
She combed her beautiful long hair and wore a white and pink salwar kameez that was complementing her skin tone.with just a little gloss on her perfect lips.she was looking sober and stunning.she threw a
glance at herself in the mirror and came down to leave for the coffee shop where her friend Ash was waiting for her.
"Hi Ash.." Heer said and settled herself in the sofa opposite her friend.
"sweetie..yu r only half an hour late." she complained sweetly.
"sorry..." she apologised and ordered hot coffee in the meantime.
"so..tumne kya decide kiya?" ash asked curiously.
"about what" she replied soberly.
"About marriage..are yu sure k tumhe uncle aunty ki marzi se hi shaadi karni hai"Ash inquired as she was worried for her best friend's future.
"i mean..is it right to follow our parents decision blindly ?" she said in a deep and serious tone.
"first thing..i'm not following anything blindly just b'coz it's my dad's decision...tell me, who wants my happiness as much as he does and who knows me better than my parents.I strongly
believe that they know what's good for me and i trust them completly."Heer explained her point of view.
"but i do'nt understand that, why parents always expect k hum wahi karen jo woh chahte hain....."Ash replied in a serious tone,taking a sip of coffee.
"well...we r human beings and its natural that we have expectations from life,friends,family.woh humse pyaar karte hain..isiliye humse kuch umeed bhi rakhte hain."heer said in a calm accent.
"yeah...aur phir yahi expectations problem ban jaati hain.."
"no....all our resentments,frustations,prejudices are only b'coz we build up unrealistic expectations from others...and in interpersonal relationships the most harmful expectation is to expect
the other person to behave exactly the we want him or her to be..." heer replied again.
"yu know heer...baaton mein tumse koi nahi jeet sakta......" ash winked naughtily.
After the girly conservation both were about to leave when a young man apprroached them.Dressed in a plain white shirt and jeans..he was tall,slim and cute.His smile was lively and fresh like his own personality.
"hope i'm not interrupting...." he smiled and pulled a chair to sit in front of them.
"not at all manmeet....actually we r about to leave" replied ash.
"oh...by the way what r yu doing here."she asked
"well..i'm opening my first ever office for legal practice on the second floor of this building" his voice became excited
"that's great...then yu should give us a treat now." heer smiled.
"okay..then see yu both at Taj for dinner" he smiled back.
"oh no..i was just kidding"
"but i'm not...yu've to come and that's final" he insisted.
Ash refused for the dinner as she was going out with her parents but heer agreed....Manmeet was one of the her few friends and a very nice human being...not superficial and for her other's happiness
very important..

Taj palace
Manmeet and Heer reached Taj aroung 9'o clock.It was a beautiful and romantic place.soft music ,dim lights and the large windows offered a bearthtaking view of the beach.They selected a table in the corner.
he settled her in the chair and took another seat for himself in front of her.Heer eye's were at the door as she was waiting for Ash.Than manmeet informed her that she was not coming for sum personal reason.
"so..what would yu like to have" he asked her gently.
"Anything.." she smiled.
"so....aage k baare mein kya socha hai heer" he asked casually.
"well..after having a management degree..do'nt yu want to be a carrier woman"
"oh no...i just want to be a woman"she smiled and sipped orange juice.
"i'm not too much ambitious for my carrier...aur duniya ki har ladki chahe woh kitni bhi successful ho..uski manzil to ghar hi hota hai.may be i'm sounding orthodox but,its the ultimate truth
and i'm more than willing to accept this.she finally stopped to see his changing expressions.
"yu know..yu r different" he felt really impressed by her.
"And i respect yu for yur dignity ,modesty and yur sense of a adapting things gracefully." his words brought a smile on her lips. mature,sober sophisticated,lovely
"Heer..yu know why we r here tonight ?" he asked unexpectedly.
she remained silent as manmeet's facial expressions changed from casual to serious.
"I just want to ask sumthing without any twists and turns...i've realised that life would be more beautiful if yu r ready to share it with me.."
His question left her answerless.she tried to avoid the look but that was impossible..she never imagined anything like this but Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize that
you're really strangers.she always belived that if she could'nt give happiness to anyone then she should not hurt them atleast.after moments of complete silence,she spoke in a gentle and low voice
"There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved but ........" she tried her best to answer but silence gripped the atmosphere again.
"i think..i should leave." saying the last words she left...without answering.her silence was hurting ....Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
And he stood there watching her leave.a sad smile was playing on his lips...his smile was sarcastic for himself."
tum ne dil ki baat keh di aaj ye acha hua,
hum tumhe apna samajhte the bada dhokha hua,
ab kisi se kya kahe apni dastan
bas Khuda ka shukar hai jo bhi hua acha hua......
