Hello, hello! So I've had this idea in my head since the day Preet "died" (yes, I used quotation marks because I totally do NOT believe that Preet is dead. I mean SERIOUSLY, who the hell explodes into a pile of ashes?!), and I only JUST got to writing it down, so here it is! It's really, really short, and it's tragic, so don't say I didn't warn you. 😛 Enjoy!

Bin Tere Kya Jeena?

He turned his gaze away from his reflection on the window, looking into the house.

There she was, looking simply radiant in her red lehnga. She wasn't decked up as heavily as she had been at their wedding, but she was beautiful either way.

He sighed softly. He reached up to touch the glass, as if by doing so he could caress her. He closed his eyes, remembering the feel of her soft skin under his fingertips. He opened his eyes, swiping at the tears that built up.

No use crying over lost memories now.

It was obvious she wasn't doing that.

A sharp pain stabbed at his heart. How could he think that of her, of someone so pure and so perfect that he had lost himself completely in his love for her?

But the fact remained that she was getting married, and to Viren, no less.

His mind flashed back to the bomb blast in the factory. He had made Viren promise to keep her happy, and Viren…Viren was marrying the love of his life.

But was she happy?

He forced himself to focus on the wedding. He tried to see her face, her eyes, to see if the nervous excitement that he had seen on so many occasions was there now. His eyes landed on hers, but her face was blank. Her eyes were dead. His heart raced. Could it be…? Was it not her choice to get married? Had she not moved on yet?

His mind told him that he was being selfish. How could he think like that? Everyone thought he was dead. Didn't she have a right to move on?

He was so far away. Maybe he was reading her wrong. Maybe she was happy to be getting married again.

He tore his eyes away from her, not wanting to accept that she had moved on. He searched out his family members.

Look at them, he thought. How happy they were, Prem Bhaiya and Heer Bhabhi and Kulraaj Didi and Harman Bhaiya and Maya Bhabhi and Bauji. How happy they were that she was marrying again. But where was Maa?

He frowned, scanning the hall for his mother. He couldn't find her.

Strange, he mused.

His attention returned to her as they rose for the phere.

An invisible hand clenched around his heart. This shouldn't be happening.

He wasn't dead.

He wanted to scream. He wasn't dead.

He was here.

Alive.

Not dead.

But horrendously disfigured.

Shifting his gaze away from the wedding inside, he looked at his reflection.

The severe burns he had suffered all over had turned him into a monster, a being with shriveled skin clinging to his bones, his skin in different colours from where they were healing at different paces.

She would never love him again. How could she even look at him, when he couldn't bear to look at himself?

Better to let her love a man than a monster, he thought. He turned away.

Better to let them think he was dead.

His footsteps were heavy as his feet carried him away from the house.

If only he had known that in her heart, she cried out for him.

Ta-dah! Hope you guys liked it! Did you know it's been a year since I've been on IF? 😲

Anyway, this isn't about me, because tomorrow is a very special day. You know why? No, it's not because I've got my stupid driving test (if anything, that totally RUINS tomorrow!). It's because on the 21st of January, in...*counts* 19...8...6...? Yeah, 1986. On the 21st of January in 1986, a very special person was born. He made his debut (yes, HE) in 2008, and ever since girls everywhere have been swooning over him. Heck, there was even a temple devoted to him! (Does anyone know what happened to the temple?) Okay so I'm totally gonna wrap this up now because I have to go get ready for uni in like ten minutes, so the point is, Happy Birthday, Sushant Rajput! We love you and we totally miss you! 😃😳 May the year ahead bring you loads of success in every part of your life! 😳 (Ohmygosh I feel like such a fangirl...*facepalms*)

I betcha you've forgotten what you wanted to comment on for the shot. If you haven't, then grab a cupcake! Heck, just grab a cupcake anyway, 'cause I made them for Sushant. 😳 (Ohmygod I am freaking obsessed. 😕)

I'm gonna shut up now. *hides*

Love,
Bhav (:

Okay So I read both! '
This one first:
So at first when I read that preet wasn't stopping the wedding- I thought that is very un- preet like. ZThen when I read that he was scarred and disfigured- of course preet would do that! but can't he understand his wife needs him!😭😭 and beauty is so not skin deep and i am sure he is hot even with the burns!
Edit add:
I am sure preet would have understood meher was unhapp if he would have seen her beat gurinder. that was hilarious!😆
RED:
Wow! okay this one is really good in a heart wrenching sort of way!😭
poor meher widowed within a few moments of her marriage. I am still recovering from this one so I will add some more later!😉
Sushant's Birthday!
I feel better about being obsessed with him now that I know you are too!I can't help facebooking him all the time!( now i hide my face😆) he is just soooo adorable! I hope one day we can have our own preets!😍
ILY!

So heart-wrenching! Aww his emotions were perfect conflicted, yet determined to do what he thought was the right thing
I wanted Preet to run in there or Meher say she doesnt want to marry Viren!!

Congrats on your One year milestone at IF!

Hello, beautiful people! I know I've got comments to reply to, but, seeing as they aren't that many and some haven't even been unreserved (*glares and pokes guilty parties*) and I'm just WAY too tired right now, I'm not gonna bother. But rest assured that I *did* read them!! *kaan pakar-ing* Pakka!

Anyway, it's still the 30th of March for a few more hours, which means it's still Ravjot's birthday for a few more hours, which means that hah! I am NOT late! *triumphant music* So here's a shot that I wrote specially for Ravzie! *hugs Ravjot* I had so much fun writing it, and I hope you guys (and especially you, Ravz!) have as much fun reading it too! Enjoy, and happy birthday, Ravz!!

Ruk Ja O Dil Deewane

"Stupid!" Ravjot shrieked as she swung her bag at Vishal, who winced as the bag collided wit his arms. "Idiot kahin ka!"

"Arre lekin maine kya kiya?" Vishal asked for the third time, careful not to lower his arms and expose his (beautiful) face.

Ravjot gave a brief laugh, one that was completely devoid of humor. "You are so not asking me what you did!" She glared at him, hands on her hips.

As Vishal lowered his arms to look helplessly at his girlfriend, she quickly whacked him again. Satisfied, she folded her arms and glared at him.

"Jaanu, tumhari kasam, main sach mein nahin jaanta ki maine kya kiya!"

"Jhootey!"

Vishal squeaked as she prepared to hit him again, ducking under the table.

"I'm sorry!" he pleaded, staring up at her from under the table with wide puppy-dog eyes. "I'm sorry! Maine jo bhi kiya, I'm sorry and main aisa kabhi nahin karoonga, I promise!"

Ravjot continued to glare at him. "Kya tum mujhse pyaar karte ho?" she demanded.

Vishal stared at her, dumbstruck. "Kya?"

"Kya tum mujhse pyaar karte ho, ya nahin?" she repeated.

"Haan, karta hoon," he began, emerging from under the table. "Lekin ' "

She cut him off. "Toh phir tum Asma ke saath Tiffany's mein kya kar rahe they?"

His eyes widened. "Tumhe kaise pata ki main Asma ke saath Tiffany's mein gaya tha?" he asked, nervously fingering the Tiffany's box inside the pocket of his jeans.

He knew he had said the wrong thing when Ravjot's eyes teared up. "Toh tum sach mein Asma ke saath Tiffany's mein gaye they? I hate you! Tum mujhse pyaar nahin karte! I hate you!" And she turned and stormed off.

Vishal cursed silently. Now how was he supposed to give her her present? He ran after her. "Ravz!"

She whirled around to face him. "Agar tumne mera peecha kiya toh main chillaungi ki tum mujhe kidnap karne ki koshish kar rahe ho," she threatened.

With a sigh, Vishal held his hands up in defeat. He watched Ravjot storm off, knowing she was headed for Timmy's, then turned away, at a complete loss as to what to do. As he glared at a bunch of break-dancing kids blaring music from their iPod, he grinned.

He knew exactly how to win her over.

-||-

Ravjot cuddled her ice cap as she left Timmy's, still sore that her boyfriend had gone to Tiffany's with her best friend. "At least you won't cheat on me," she told her ice cap sadly. "Right?"

"Ravjot!"

She automatically turned at the sound of her name, her eyes narrowing as she saw Vishal running towards her.

"Ravjot, meri baat toh suno!"

She ignored him and turned, walking away. She was not in the mood to talk to him. After all, he had ruined her birthday.

All of a sudden she heard the opening of a very familiar song. She stopped, frowning, wondering whether she was hearing things.

Then she heard Vishal's voice.

"Ruk ja, o dil deewane, poochoon toh main zara. Ladki hai ya hai jadoo, khushboo hai ya nasha."

Ravjot turned, surprised.

"Ruk ja, o dil deewane, poochoon toh main zara. Ladki hai ya hai jadoo, khushboo hai ya nasha. Paas woh aaye toh, chooke main dekhoon zara. Ruk ja o dil deewane, poochoon toh main zara!"

She bit down on her lip hard. There was Vishal, dancing down the street, a break-dancing troop following after him, getting weird stares from people. He was making a complete idiot of himself, and all for her!

Then she remembered that she was mad at him, and she frowned and turned away.

Vishal sighed. "Dekhen woh idhar, haske bekhabar, thaamke dil hum khade hain! Gumsum si nazar, uski hai magar hoton pe shikwe pade hain! Baat ban jaaye toh, haan baat chedoon zara. Ruk ja, o dil deewane, poochoon toh main zara. Ladki hai ya hai jadoo, khushboo hai ya nasha!"

Vishal was glad that Ravjot was walking at a slower pace now, because it meant she was a little less mad at him than she had been.

He grabbed a rose from a nearby florist and raced after her.

("Oi! Come back here and pay for that, you deranged idiot!")

He knelt down in front of Ravjot, blocking her path, and offered her the rose.

"Sharma woh gayi, ghabra woh gayi, maine joh usko pukara."

Without taking the rose, she stuck her tongue out at him and continued walking. Vishal pouted after her.

"Yeh dil le liya, usne kar diya, aankhon hi aankhon mein ishara! Jaan bhi jaaye toh, ghum na karoon main zara! Ruk ja, o dil deewane, poochoon toh main zara. Ladki hai ya hai jadoo, khushboo hai ya nasha."

As Ravjot glanced back at him, hiding a smile, Vishal grinned, jumped up and followed her into a store.

She picked out a top and held it to herself. Vishal shook his head, making a face. Ravjot frowned at him and set it back on the rack. He held the rose out to her again, and as she turned away, she made sure to smack him with her bag.

Vishal winced, rubbing his arm. He should have bought her a smaller bag. He followed her out.

(The store people looked after him and his break-dancing posse curiously.)

"Mehfil mein haseen, tu hi toh nahin, roothi tu, kisliye akeli?"

Ravjot shot him a death glare. Vishal feigned indifference.

"Jispe yoon fiya, yeh dil ho gaya, woh toh hai teri ek saheli." And he gave the rose to a passing 7-year-old girl who gave him a kiss on the cheek before running away giggling. Vishal glanced at Ravjot, who was staring at him, fuming silently.

"Maan woh jaaye toh, bahon mein le loon zara!" He wrapped his arms around himself, closing his eyes. He peeked at Ravjot, who now had tears in her eyes. She turned away and stalked off. Vishal ran after her, grabbing her arm and turning her to face him.

"Ruk ja, o dil deewane, poochoon toh main zara. Ladki hai ya hai jadoo, khushboo hai ya nasha. Paas woh aaye toh, chooke main dekhoon zara!"

He knelt down in front of her again as the song ended, taking the Tiffany's box out of his pocket. He held it up to her. "Happy birthday, jaanu."

Ravjot hesitantly took the box from him and opened it. Inside was a silver heart necklace. She looked at him, her bottom lip trembling. "I saw you put this on Asma."

"Look at the back," he told her, standing up.

She turned it over.

R & V

She looked at him again. "R and V...Ravjot and...Vishal?"

He nodded, smiling.

"Toh tum Asma ke saath kya kar rahe they?"

"I had to make sure that you would like it. And Asma knows you better than I do."

Ravjot's bottom lip trembled some more, and the tears fell as she stared at him for a moment longer. Then she threw her arms around him, wrapping him in a tight hug. "I'm sorry, Vishal. Maine tumhe itna mara'"

Vishal hugged her back. "Koi baat nahin," he whispered into her hair, glad that she was happy.

"I love you, Vishal. You're sach mein the best!"

"I love you too, Ravjot."

The break-dancing posse burst into cheers and applause as Ravjot and Vishal kissed.
