Recap
: And my prayer worked. All of the sudden, I remembered something. My property, which would be all mine when I turned 22. But there was still one more year left. And the property paper says that if I decide to get married before the age of 22, then my property will get transferred to my husband. That's it. This was the only way to get Prem out of this situation. And I would do it.....not because I felt sorry for him..................but because.....I am starting to fall for him......yes....Heer was falling in love with Prem...... Part 7
HEER P.O.V.
A sudden jolt of thunder makes him pull himself away from me. All I could feel was the incompleteness from being separated from him. He made me feel complete. He made me feel loved. He made me feel protected from the cruel world. I noticed his face. I saw that he was feeling very awkward and maybe even'''guilty. Guilty for hugging me. He was just glaring at the floor, avoiding any eye contact. I stood there without saying a word but then I got the urge to tell him that I could help him.
"I can help you'.." I whispered to him.
He looked straight at me with a confused expression. Those eyes''They were making me go crazy. He needs to stop making me melt like that with his look.
"I can help you save your brother''" I continued.
He grinned at me.
"You want to help the guy who kidnapped you''." He said while giving a slight laugh.
"Yes'..I want to help you''just because you are trying to save someone's life" I looked at him and his eyes were blankly staring at me.
"And I WANT to help you because you are a good person" I finally said it. He stared at me with such intensity.
"Wow'.I didn't know that kidnappers were nice people''and did anyone tell you that it is bad to eavesdrop in other people's conversation"
He replied coldly and headed to leave the room.
But somehow I caught his hand and stopped him. He turned around and looked at me again. Anger once again visible in his eyes.
"I told you that I will take you to your house tomorrow'..just mind your own business and go to sleep''" He slowly came closer to me and I slowly let go of his hand. He was angry but his sorrow was clearly visible in his eyes.
"I know that you want to get me in jail''And I might even end up there for kidnapping you so just stop this bull shit''" He whispered back.
He noticed the closeness between us and slightly moved back.
"I don't want to cause you any more problems''I just want to''..help" I said as I tried to sound calm.
"Help'..you want to help me''even after all this'''''"
he paused and looked at me with a confused expression then silently added "Why''?"
I straightened myself up and fixed my gaze to the floor.
"I can't tell you why''."
I looked at him. "But I can tell you that whatever I do''it will only help you'.."
"And how exactly are you going to help me'?" He looked at me straight in my eyes with a stern look.
"So you are ready to accept my help"
I asked grinning at him.
He paused for a while.
"I promise that I won't add on to your problems'..and anyways, I have a plan that will get both you and me out of this mess'" I assured him.
"And you plan is'''''" he waited for me to continue.
"Well'..in order for me to get my property out of their hands is ONLY by marrying someone before I turn 22''.Whoever I choose to get married to will get all my property''" I explained to him hesitantly.
His eyes narrowed and he looked at me as if I was crazy.
"So you want me to marry you''.." He said making sure.
"It's the only way out for me to help you'.." I answered.
He gave a smile and gave me an affectionate look.
"How can you trust me''I can do anything after I get YOUR property under my name''.Don't you find yourself getting into a bigger mess from this" he said as he walked closer to me.
"I can trust you" I answered softly, barely loud enough for him to hear it. But he did hear it.
"How'?"
he said being only inches away from me. "If you marry me'.then I can take advantage of many things'''.even YOU''"
He moved even closer closing the place between us. I slowly closed my eyes as I felt powerless in front of him. I could feel his warm breath against my cheek. I barely got the word to come out of my mouth.
"My heart keeps telling me''..you won't do anything wrong'."
I whispered back while still holding my breath. I felt him move back and I slowly opened my eyes. He looked at me and for the first time gave me a genuine smile.
"Now will you stop staring at me and listen to my plan'.." I told him.
He smiled again. Oh my God'..he is making me feel numb. He seriously needs to stop all this. He slowly nodded.
"Okay'.tomorrow morning you can drop me at my apartment'.." I continued.
"Why an apartment'?" he asked.
"That's where I lived with my mom before she remarried''its still hers and I can live there''"
He listened careful.
"Then I will call my lawyer and I can arrange the marriage papers''you can come to his office around noon and we can get''." I stopped. But he finished the sentence.
"Married'.?" He asked.
"We have to'..because in 2 days I turn 22'.then the property will get under my so-called dad's custody'.." I told him.
"Then you will call my house and tell them that I have married you'.when I say you I mean you as in Prem'not a kidnapper'" I explained.
"You want me to tell them that you married some random guy and that now all your property is mine''?" he said giving me a smirk.
"Well by then you will be the owner of everything'.so I want YOU to kick them out of MY house so that I can have all traces of them out of my life forever'.." I told him with a determined face.
"If you do this for me'then you can have as much of my money as you want for your brother'.." I looked at him to see if he was at all interested. To my surprised, he was.
"I just need 1 chore to save my brother's life'..the rest you can keep''" He said.
I looked at him admiring his sincerity.
"This is why I know that I can trust you'" I told him giving him a smile. I glared at the clock. It was about 12:30.
"I am going to sleep now'.and you better sleep too'..wake me up at 6 and drop me to my apartment" I said as I headed out of the room. But I instantly stopped when I heard his voice again.
"What are you going to do after all this'.." he asked worriedly. I knew exactly what he was talking about. I turned around and told him with a smile.
"You can divorce me and go back to living your life'..I will be happy with having a friend like you'.." I told him politely.
"You want me to divorce you" he said with a grin. "And I didn't know we were friends''"
I felt like telling him what I have been hiding but I couldn't Of course I didn't want a divorce from him. You don't find nice guys like him that easily. For the first time, I found myself thanking God for getting me kidnapped by him or I would have never met him.
I didn't want to answer him. All I said was "Good night" and left.
