Hey Guys,

Another shot at an FF. Do send across your comments. Would love to hear them.

Re-engagement

Chapter 1

Prem stood across the street watching the office. He was here because he had to. He was the only
one who could stop a criminal from creating havoc on his country. He was here because he needed a
particular woman to help him. She worked inside that building and she was the one who had a key to
the man's heart. The man being RR - a criminal with links to the terrorists. Prem thrust his hands
deep into his pockets to keep himself warm from the cold that was enveloping the city on that late
January evening. The trouble was, she was the one who had a key to his own heart. And RR had
already destroyed him once because of that.

Prem had only six days - six days to convince Heer to help him prove that RR is guilty, six days to
save the nation and six days to be with Heer - the one and only love of his life, six days of being
in heaven and then back to his life without her.

It was an year since he last saw her. How should he bridge that gap? Especially when the woman he
was waiting for had once been his fiancee and he was supposed to be dead.

He checked his watch. She should have come out by now. Did he miss her? He didn't think so. He was
sure he wouldn't miss the person who was haunting him every second for the past year. Did she use
the other gate? Was she working late? Another thought crossed his mind that he dreaded even
thinking about it. Did RR get to Heer before he could warn her? Prem was getting restless and the
cold winds were not helping.

Then, suddenly, she was there. Recognition slammed through him. It was as if his entire being
focused on only thing - one person. Heer. The wind blew her hair over her face. She tried very hard
to keep the strands away from her eyes. She had cut her hair. The sensation of his fingers combing
through her black lustre waves clawed at his memory. Prem inhaled sharply.

Prem swore softly. He saw RR walk over to Heer signalling her to stop. He knew that RR was
interested in Heer. He'd been obsessed by one particular image of RR touching her arm and indulging
Heer in a conversation. But Prem didn't anticipate how much it would hurt him seeing Heer with RR.
He had underestimated the hold that Heer had over him. He had misjudged the rawness of his latent
passion, his buried anger, his violent resentment. He had refused to acknowledge the need for
revenge. Until this moment.

Prem remembered the day of his supposed death. The bomb blast. The terrible sights around him. Him
waking up on a hospital bed after a week. Trying to reach his family and Heer to tell them that he
was ok. But as fate would have it, he was unable to contact his family. And then he did one of the
fatal mistakes of his life. He called RR. RR was working in his office as his assistant. He came
across as a very honest and hard working guy. He was very nice to his family.

But what Prem didn't realise then was that RR was a manipulator. RR promised Prem that he would
tell his family to contact him and then called in a press meeting to say that Prem was killed in
the bomb blast. He took over the business by saying that he was giving time for the family to
grieve. The family considered him their lost son. RR even recorded a CD in Prem's voice urging Heer
to get along with her life and get married. He pretended to be a friend to Heer, a brother to
Preet, a son to Lalit and Gayatri Juneja. On the whole, he tried to become Prem.

Prem confronted RR one day. RR told Prem that he was doing him a favour by telling the family he
was dead as Prem was suffering from a fatal disease and didn't have much time to live. He convinced
Prem that the family was recovering and when Prem dies again, they will be shattered. Prem was very
happy that RR was taking care of his family and Heer. That is, until a few weeks back. When Prem
realised that RR had played him and there was nothing wrong with him, he was consumed with rage. RR
had been obsessed with Heer and the bomb blast had given him a way to get rid of Prem. When the
Defence Secretary gave Prem his new assignment of finding the criminal with links to terrorists, he
now had a mission. RR was carrying out illegal activities and funding terrorist organisations using
his own company. Prem now wanted to take revenge and he needed Heer to help him find the proofs.

Heer reached the house. It was late and everyone was resting for the day. She walked to her room -
the room wherein she had sweet memories of Prem. Heer paused. Something didn't feel right. It was
as if there was a subtle shift in the chemistry of the air. She leaned towards the door, listened,
but could hear nothing. It was her; it had to be. Her whole world had shifted on its axis about a
year ago and she was feeling under the weather today, thats all. She pushed the door open, stepped
into her room and reached for the hall light switch-----

A hand grabbed hers. She started to scream but another hand clamped hard over her lips. The door
slammed shut and all was dark. Panic set it. She struggled but the grip on her hand only tightened.
Her attacked was male and incredibly strong. His limbs felt like iron.

"It's all right, Heer", he whispered against her ear, "hold still, I am not going to hurt you."

She froze. Heer? Only one person in this world called her like that, and he was dead.

"Relax." He spoke low, quietly, his breath warm against her neck. "Promise me you won't scream,
okay?"

There was something familiar about the timbre of that voice, the way it curdled through her,
stirring something dark and forbidden in the depths of her soul. Her chest constricted like a vise
over her lungs. She could not breathe. Her vision blurred.

He released her mouth cautiously. He turned her slowly round to face him, and he flicked the light
on. Her heart stopped. She looked up into his eyes - unmistakable eyes - pitch black and crystal
clear. They sliced into her like a laser, flying her open right down to her soul. No other eyes
could do that to her. She'd never, ever seen eyes quitle like this.

It was Prem. Her Prem. Alive.
