FF: Hostage- PG 45- Part 19 (11/22/09) NEW!!! - Page 9

Awesome update.. im really glad they got married!! Update soon!!!

Recap: The pandit blessed us and we both headed towards my house. Nervousness was increasing little by little. The fact that I was dreading the most was that I had to live with her, in the same house and in the same room. And what was really scaring me was that Maa really liked this girl and that she wasn't aware of the real reason behind this marriage or should I say "contract for 3 months."

PART 10

Heer's P.O.V:

Mrs. Heer Prem Juneja''Heer PREM Juneja'..Wow'..in one second, I went from Miss Heer Maan to Mrs. Heer Prem Juneja'.I know that I am not supposed to be happy with this but''I am. Wearing this mangalsutra and sindoor makes me feel complete. It makes me feel that now I am linked to someone who is nice at heart. And this I knew for sure.

"Ready" he said.

We were standing at the entrance to his house. I looked at his serene face. He was calm but I knew that all this was causing him a lot of stress. I nodded a yes and he knocked on the door.

Nervousness took over me the second I saw his mom open the door. It all just suddenly hit me. She didn't know anything about our contract marriage. What I was scared about was the fact that I had to PRETEND to be her bahu for the next 3 months. The smile on her beautiful face told me that she had many expectations from me''or should I say FROM US.

I gave her back a polite smile and decided to take her ashirwaad. Respecting elders was my first priority and it didn't matter who she was, she was elder then me and I did what I always believed in doing. I bended down to touch her but she stopped me halfway.

"Jeeti raho beta''Khush raho" she said while softly patting my cheek.

In her other hand she was holding a thali to do aarti. She quickly did the aarti and let me come into the house. I made sure that I didn't look at him because I would easily get distracted by him. But I could feel his gaze on me. As if he was suspecting me for something.

"Maa mai Heer ka saman le kar atta hu''." He said and quickly left from there. Great, he had to leave me here with her. What if she asks me something that I have no answer to? I glanced back at the elder woman and noticed her sit on the couch. She gestured me to come and sit next to her. I smiled and did as she said.

"Heer''beta tu khush toh hai naa'?" she asked me in a friendliest way ever.

"Haa Maa mai bahot khush hu'.." I answered with thinking.

"Who kya hai naa'..Prem ne apne dil ki baat kissi se nahi kehta'.Mai khud heran hu ke usne tumhe apni dil ki baat kahi'..Aur mai jaanti hu, ke mere bete ne iss duniya ki sabse acchi ladki ko chuna hoga'.." she said while give another loving smile. I couldn't stop myself from smiling back. After such a long time, I was feeling the affection on a mother. And after talking with her, I new that I had formed a bond that was going to last me a life time.

We both chatted until I saw Prem walk in with my big bag. I laughed at his cute expression and I knew that he was angry with me having so much stuff. But what can I do? These were my only memories from my previous life. I had everything I knew was MINE in there.

I walked in and placed the bag next to the couch and looked straight at his mom.

"Maa mai bahar jaa raha hu''shaam taka a jaonga'" saying this, he turned to leave but was instantly stopped.

"Ji nahi'..tu yaha se hilga bhi nahi...." Maa ordered. Prem instantly stopped and looked at her with a confused look.

"Lekin Maa mujhe Preet-" he was interrupted by Maa again.

"Dekh beta'..aaj hi teri shaddi hui hai'.aur tu aaj hi meri bahu ko chod ke kahi jaa raha hai'?" she said

I decided that he wouldn't be happy with this so I spoke up.

"Maa aap Prem ko jaane dijiye''Mai theek hu" I pacified her.

I gave her a pleading look saying that I was perfectly fine. After thinking for a while, she decided that he can go. But she told him to be back around 8:00 sharp or he will get a big scold from her in front of his wife.

"Fine'.I will be back by then'..aab mai please jao'.." he said making a puppy face.

Maa smiled at him and said yes. She took the thali and headed towards the kitchen.

He took his keys and headed towards the door. My eyes were still glued to him. He opened the door and the stopped. He slowly turned around and looked at me. I instantly looked away and then safely looked back at him.

"Thanks Heer" he said with a smirk. I smiled back to him. He glanced at me for a few seconds and then left.

Phew! That was a relief. I don't know why, but whenever he is around me, I get the weirdest feelings ever. I guess I liked him as a friend now but why in the world was I feeling so nervous around him. I pushed back all my thoughts and went in the kitchen to help Maa.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After helping Maa, or trying to help but she barely let me do anything, I headed to "my room" with my bags. Maa had ordered me to take rest as it was my first day in the house as the bahu. I led her to her room before going to my room as it was almost about 7:30 and Prem would be home soon. She wasn't feeling quiet well so I made her eat some food and then put her to sleep. Before I left, she told me to wake her up when Prem comes but I didn't want to bother her. So I just told her that she should not worry and that I would take care of him. After hearing this, she lay down on her bed and instantly fell asleep. I could see that she was tired and so I quietly left the room.

I slowly opened the knob that led to the room where I was supposed to stay. I peeked through and hesitantly stepped inside dragging my bag along. I had been in here before but I had never glanced around much. The room was quite pleasant and simple, just the way "I" wanted it to be. I placed my bag aside and explored around. There was only one bed there but gosh it looked comfy and soft. There were two side tables one each side. A huge window was at the end of the room. A row of closets ran across and stopped next to the window. And in the corner next to the window, there was a huge frame. I instantly recognized one of the two people who were in the picture frame. His hair was freshly cut and as silky as it could possibly be. His chocolate colored eyes were expressing the happiness that he was feeling at the moment when the picture was taken. His lips were forming a smile that brought goosebumps to her.

"Control Heer," I told myself. But I couldn't. I slowly walked towards the picture frame and stood in front of it. His smiling face brought a smile onto my face. My hands approached his image and I slowly caressed his cheek. Why don't I ever see him as happy as in this picture? My eyes, which were glued to his image, slightly shift to the person who was next to him in the picture. Who was he? Why did Prem take a picture with him? I looked from Prem to the person next to him. They both had similar features. Wait''.this'..this must be Preet. His brother Preet.

After seeing the picture, I could easily tell how close the two were. I somewhat felt proud of myself for helping Prem. I was giving him his brother back. But What I really wanted was to see "HIM" happy again as in this picture.

I decided to get changed from this saree. I picked out a maroon and yellow patiala salwar from my bag and went into the bathroom to change. I came out after changing and put my clothes back into my, took my earrings off, put on simple diamond studs, and headed towards the bed to take some rest.

But I stopped on my track. My fear came back again. I had agreed have a contract marriage with him, but did that contract also included the sex as well. I backed off from the bed and headed towards the couch. I gently sat down on it with laying my head on the arm, over my hands and my legs crunched up close to me.

No'..it's not possible. This contract has nothing written about sex so he won't even try. And for one thing, I was sure''HE would never force me or touch me. But how was I going to share the same room with him and that too for 3 months.

I lay there thinking about all this when I heard the roar of thunder outside. I instantly got up and went to t he window to witness the heavy rainfall and lighting outside. It looked beautiful but still scary. A sudden strike of lighting hit and all the light went out.

Oh God'.not the best place to be at the moment because I dreaded being in the dark. And this was surely scaring me.

"THAK'THAK'.THAK"!!!!!

I jerked back as I heard the knock on the door. All I knew was that my heart beats were running as fast as they could.

"THAK'.THAK'..THAK"!!!!!

There it was again. Upon hearing the knock, I started to shiver. After about 5 seconds of being in the same spot and shivering, reality hit me.

"It's just him'." I slowly whispered to myself. With the help of the moonlight which was guiding me to where I was going, I approached towards the door. I slowly came out of the room, walked across the living room, and stood in front of the door. I hesitantly approached my hands towards the door and slowly opened it.

A fresh breeze slipped right in and flew past me. It took me a while to see the person who had been knocking. When the lighting hit again, I could see the face of the person. It was him. He was drenched in the rain that had been falling. His eyes were reflecting some kind of softness which he was trying to hide and he seemed to be a little disturbed. And I had to admit, he looked adorable. Just like a little puppy drenched in rain. Once again, I found myself losing my heart to him.

"Come inside" I softly whispered and he gave me a slight smile and entered.

The moment he came inside, he sneezed. Now this scared me. What if he gets sick? I wouldn't let him catch a cold.

"Stay here'" I commanded me and just stood there while I found my way into the bathroom. I quickly grabbed a towel and straight back to where he was. I went to him and handed him the towel.

"Here'now go change or you will catch the cold'." I told him. He could sense the worry in my voice and just smiled back to me. He took the towel and went to his room. I headed towards the kitchen to find some candles. And apparently, I had no idea where they were. After looking through a few cabinets, I finally found them. I took them and turned towards the stove but just froze on my way. He was standing in front of me, just staring at me. He had changed into a sky-blue colored kurta and white pajama. His hair was still wet and I couldn't exactly see his face.

"Need help'" he whispered softly holding out his hand for the candles. I handed him the jasmine flavored candles. My eyes were trying hard to look at his eyes which seemed to hiding from me. He lit the candles and then put it up in front of me. The light spread rapidly and the light glowed on his face. I stood there staring at him. His eyes were showing a certain type of pain which I could relate to. He had a sober expression on his face. He slightly smiled and I could easily guess that his smile wasn't reaching his eyes.

I gently took the candle in my hand. But my eyes were still glued to his face. Should I ask him if he is alright? Is he tensed about his brother's condition?

He shifted his gaze back to the other candles. He lit one and placed it in the center of the dining table.

After debating with myself, I finally got the courage to ask him.

"Are you okay'?" I asked softly. He instantly turned around to look at me with a confused expression. That's when I finally noticed that his eyes were red. I don't know why, but it hurt me to see him like this. Something was really bothering him and I had to find out. I just HAD to.

"Have you been drinking?" I asked softly. He lowered his eyes and didn't utter a word. I slowly approached towards him holding the candle firmly in my hand. His head was lowered and he was trying his best to not show the pain he was experiencing at the moment. What he didn't know was that I knew how he was feeling. I gently place the candle on the table and stand in front of him.

He was drunk and the stress was clearly visible on his face.

"Prem''..what happened" I asked once again, expecting an answer. He nervously looked at me and I melted like chocolate. He got a hold on my right hand and brought them closer to his lips. My eyes started to well up when I saw his eyes.

"I'm sorry''" he whispered. My heart went still upon hearing the words.

"I'm just not able to take in the fact that I am taking advantage of you''its killing me inside'..I feel as if I just took everything away from you''I'I-" I put my hand on his lips, stopping him from saying more.

"Stop blaming yourself Prem''You did it for someone'..and I know that you aren't taking advantage of me''I am doing this because I WANT to help you'.." I explained to him. But the expression on his face told me that he still was not satisfied. I gently wiped away his tears while he kept staring at me. When I looked back into his eyes, he lowered his eyes.

I didn't know why, but I felt it necessary to give him a hug. And that's what I did. I slowly wrapped my hands around his neck and gave him a friendly hug. Right that second, I felt his strong, warm hands around my waist, hugging me. He hugged me back tightly as if begging for forgiveness, the forgiveness which he had already gotten from me. I rested my head on his shoulder. I felt his warm breath on my bare neck. He gently placed a soft kiss on that side of my neck making me shiver. And that's all he did before he controlled his limits and back off from the embrace. As we separated from the hug, I saw his hands clench his temples as if a sudden pain rushed in his head. Must be the alcohol I reminded myself. I took his hand and led him to his room or should I say "our" room.

He just came along with one of his hands still holding onto his temples as if it was aching with so pain. I was really hard for me to see him like this. My heart ached at seeing him like this. He just walked along with me and didn't even object. I slowly opened the door and took him towards the bed. I helped him lay down on the bed. And soon sleep took over him. I covered him with the blanket and kneeled down next to him. But I couldn't stop myself from running my hands through his silky and wet hair. He looked adorable, just like a little baby in his sleep. But at such a young age, he has been through so much pain.

As I sat the stroking his hair, I remembered everything Maa had said to me while we were cooking in the kitchen.

"I am so happy beta that Prem decided to move on in his life. After his father died, he was the only support for Preet and me. He worked to achieve everything they have right now and I feel so helpless because I could be no help to him. He never even complains and that's what I hate. He endures every pain and all the stress all by himself. I am his mother and I know his every little feeling and it kills me to see him work day and night to have us survive. I sometimes think of Preet and me being a burden for him. A few years ago, I went to the mandir and I happened to fall down the long string of stairs. My condition worsened the situation we were in. Prem was at work, in the hotel, so he had no clue about it. But when Preet found out, he rushed out of the house. He was still 18 at the time and was just so shocked that he didn't know what to do. I was taken to the hospital and the hospital people had called home to inform Preet. On his way''Preet's car got hit by a drunk driver. Since then, he had been fighting between life and death." She had said to me.

"But Prem told me that now Preet will soon be cured." I remember the happiness in her voice. "And Heer'..I think its all because of you. You seem to be the one who inspired my Prem to live his life. I am so happy for him that he has a beautiful and caring wife like you. But I know that he deserves you. You are just perfect for him." She had continued saying this while she stirred the curry. I stood there like a statue trying to absorb everything that was being said. And then I remember the last few things that she said to me.

"Heer'..beta I hope that you can understand all this'.he has been through a lot in his life. But something in my heart keeps telling me that you will understand him and share his pain. May god bless you and always keep you together." She had blessed me.

__________

I came back to the present and found myself still staring at him. He was so innocent, so nice, and so adorable. Why did God give HIM all the pain? But now I wouldn't let him be in any sort of trouble. I will make these three months, the best time in his entire life. This will be the time he will be away from all the sorrows and stresses of life. Now'..he will just enjoy life. From tomorrow, he will live a different life'..not as my husband but as a friend, a really close friend.
