FF: Come Back To Me 6th Part (Page 7) - Page 3

The next morning, the sun's rays forced Prem to wake up. He found the blanket and pillows on the couch were gone and Heer was nowhere to be seen. Prem quickly took a shower and headed downstairs where Lalit, Gayatri, Harman, Kulraj and Preet were having breakfast.

"Good morning, PB," Preet said.

Prem was glad to see his younger brother back to his old self, and talking to him again.

"A very good morning to you to," Prem replied. He sat next to his brother while searching the whole area. "Where are Heer and Meher?"

"Oh, they left for office early in the morning," Gayatri said.

"I thought Prem was a workaholic, but these two have set a new record," Kulraj commented, "they woke up early, did pooja, and prepared most of the breakfast before leaving for work." After a pleasant breakfast, the two brothers headed for their work.

Around noon, Preet was about to vomit on the files he had been staring at for the past three hours. His work was getting nowhere, and he was missing his wife. It seemed as if Meher had felt his pain because she chose to call at that exact moment.

"Where have you been?" Preet whined, "Have you adopted a hobby of disappearing and torturing me? I haven't seen you all day."

"I'm sorry, I had an urgent meeting," Meher cutely apologized. "Anyways, I called to let you know that Heer didi and I have a meeting today, and I managed to have it arranged at your hotel. We should be there in one hour. You just make sure that Prem bhaiya is also there."

"My dear wife, you are a genius," Preet responded while jumping out of his chair. "That's why I love you so much."

"Stop the drama Preet, I'll see you soon."

After, Heer and Meher arrived, Preet rushed to his brother's cabin. Under the pretense of making sure everything is functioning properly, Preet directed his brother to the dining area where their wives were seated. Heer and Meher had finished their meeting and were about to leave when Preet stopped them.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked, acting all innocent.

"We had a meeting, Preet" Meher responded, playing along with his game.

"Well since you guys are here, why don't we have lunch" Preet suggested.

Unable to turn their siblings down, Prem and Heer agreed. Preet managed to get Heer talking by discussing work. Meher and Heer revealed that they, along with Nihaal, had joined a company in Dubai which wasn't doing well. With Heer's innovative ideas, Nihaal's management skills, and Meher's legal expertise they were able to get the company running again. The owner offered them a partnership. After a year, the trio started their own music company. Nihaal continued to work with the company and it was then decided that he would take care of the branch in India. Heer devoted all her time to the music company, and Meher helps both her siblings with the legal matters.

Throughout the lunch the foursome discussed their work. Prem and Heer had become too involved with discussion that they managed to forget everything else that was going on. During the conversation, Heer inquired about Maya. Prem informed her that Harman asked Maya to leave the house, and they hardly speak to each other.

Harman was working on his laptop at home during the evening when he heard a knock on his door. Heer was standing by the doorway, and Harman gladly welcomed her.

"I am not disturbing you, am I?" Heer asked.

"Oh come on, even if I was busy, you can disturb me any time bhabhi" Harman replied.

"Harman, if you don't mind, can I ask you something?" Heer asked hesitantly.

"Of course, you don't need my permission"

"Harman, why don't you bring Maya back home?"

Harman was a little shocked to hear that suggestion—especially from Heer. "After what she did to you, you still want her to come back?"

"Maya was in no way responsible for what happened…Harman, the fate of a marriage solely depends on the husband and wife. If the trust and love between the two is strong enough, then it should not matter what others do. Clearly, mine and Prem's relationship wasn't as strong as we thought. We are the only ones responsible for what happens between us, and no one else. Besides, instead of accusing your wife of what she did, you should try and figure out why she did it. Maybe it was something we did that led her to act in such a way. As her husband, I think it is your responsibility to find out…Harman, marriage isn't a game, it's commitment that you should never stop fighting for no matter what," Heer explained.

Harman stared at his sister-in-law with even more admiration. Just when he thought he knew her, she throws another surprise. He couldn't believe the amount wisdom and insight she possessed. Now he understood why his brother loves her so much.

"Forgive me if I crossed the line," Heer said and left Harman to his thoughts. What she didn't realize is that her husband had overheard everything.

Prem entered the room a few seconds after Heer. She was about to open a file when Prem came forth and sat next to her. She gave him a confused look while he tried to find out why he ever doubted her.

"Thank you," he eventually said, "thank you for showing Harman the right path. Thank you for caring so much about my family."

He was half expecting another bitter remark, but instead Heer accepted his gratitude with a nod and resumed with her work.

awesomeeeeeeeeee too good very nice part waitinggggggg for next asap.

nice update and thanx for the pm..

Thank you for all the comments. Here is the next part. I will be updating frequently since I hope to finish this fanfic before my break ends. Hope you like it. And as always, all comments are appreciated.

The next two weeks were the same. Heer would get up before Prem, work all day. In the evening, she would help Kulraj and Gayatri in the kitchen. Over the weekends, she and Meher would take Lalit out for walks at the park. Meher had cut back down on her work a little, and Preet responded in the same manner. The two would spend more time each day. Within a matter of time, their lives had returned to what it was before except their relationship was now stronger.

Prem worked really hard to maintain his distance with Heer. The only time they would interact is when they were with their families. When they were alone in his room, Heer would be either working or sleeping. The more time that passed, the more Prem wanted to end the distance between them.

One day, Lalit insisted on visiting Nihaal, Heer, and Meher at their office. When they had arrived, Nihaal was waiting for them at the entrance. He generously showed them his office and how things were managed there. Afterwards, Nihaal took them to another floor where Heer did her work. At that time Heer was in the conference room explaining how they were going to launch their new singer, while Prem admired her through the window of the conference room. Two years ago, he would have never imagined seeing Heer, dressed in a black business suit, confidently speaking to a group of people. She used to be softspoken and quiet, and Prem would worry that her potential would go unnoticed because of this. However, he was proud to see what she had become.

After the meeting, Heer introduced the family to Mahek Malik, the new singer that the company was going to launch in a matter of weeks. Upon much insistence, Mahek agreed to sing if Heer agreed to accompany her. Everyone knew that Heer was a good singer, but she took them by surprise when she played the guitar while singing flawlessly with Mahek. After the two had completed, Preet was the first to comment.

"Mahek you are a good singer," he said, "and Heer bhabhi, I think you need to think about launching yourself as well." Everyone agreed to Preet's suggestion. Even Prem was taken by surprise. Heer had sung for them before, but never in this way.

It was nearly evening when the Junejas decided to leave'Lalit asked Heer and Meher to come home with them as well. Prem was sitting with Heer in her car, while she drove back home'another new experience for Prem since he had never seen Heer drive.

"When did you learn driving?" he genuinely asked.

"In Dubai, a friend taught me" she said.

Lately Heer hadn't been throwing any remarks about their past at him, and Prem took this as an opportunity to get her to open to him.

"I didn't know you could play the guitar," he stated.

"I never got the chance to play for you," she replied, "I learned how to play in college'my father bought me a guitar for my birthday, but I later asked him to sell it back since we were in desperate need of money at that time."

Prem could feel Heer's mood changing from a cheerful to a depressing one, so he acted immediately to divert her attention. "I seriously think you should consider Preet's suggestion," he said, "you could become a very famous singer, go on tours, have fans asking for autographs all the time."

Heer managed to give a small laugh at that comment. "It's a tempting offer, but music is one thing that I like to keep to myself and those that are close to me. I am really not interested in making a career out of it."

Her last statement was proof of her simplicity, and Prem couldn't help but fall in love with her all over again. Heer never wanted big things from life, she found joy in the smallest things, and Prem was disappointed with himself for not being able to fill those needs.

Heer had become occupied with the launch for the next couple days. She had been working later than normal, and hardly had enough time to sleep. During this period, Gayatri showed her the most support. She made sure that Heer ate one time'even if it meant bringing her lunch to work. She, along with Prem, would stay up until Heer came home and had dinner. Though Heer felt awkward considering she knew that she was there for a short time, she was glad to get Gayatri's love. She had been craving for a mother's love for a long time, and Gayatri had satisfied that.

One evening, the whole family was gathered in the main room while Preet entertained them with his sense of humor. While Preet was in the midst of telling a joke, Heer had entered the house limping. Prem immediately ran to her and grabbed her before she lost her balance. By then, Gayatri, Kulraj, and Meher had rushed to her aid. Her left quadriceps was covered with blood; Gayatri saw a big cut a few inches above her knee. She instructed Prem to take Heer to her room and lay her on the bed, which he followed immediately. While Kiran called the doctor, Gayatri wrapped the cut with a towel.

"Prem, press this towel on down tightly," she said, "we need to stop the bleeding."

Prem put all the pressure he could with one hand. He noticed Heer wince a little in pain, and instinctively held her hand.

"What happened Heer?" Lalit asked.

"I'fell and there was a piece of glass on the floor, and I got cut" she answered.

Once the doctor arrived, she asked everyone to leave the room except for Meher and Kulraj. After several minutes, the doctor stepped out of the room.

"It was a pretty bad cut, and I had to give her a few stitches," she explained, "make sure she doesn't exert herself'I've given her some medication, she's asleep right now."

Once the rest of the family had retired to their rooms, the doctor asked to speak with Prem alone.

"Is everything okay doctor?" Prem asked based on the doctor's concerned expression. "Is Heer okay?"

"She's fine Mr. Prem, but I think your wife is hiding something'I didn't want to mention this to your father considering his condition right now, and maybe that's why she may have lied to you"

"Lied? About what?"

"Mr. Prem, when I examined Heer, I noticed that she had several bruises on her legs, arms, and her back. And that cut'I think someone attacked her with a knife," the doctor revealed. "This is my judgment. The best way to find out is to ask her."

The doctor left the house, leaving Prem to figure out what to do next. When he returned to their room, Heer had fallen asleep due to the effects of the medicine. Meher and Kulraj had helped change Heer into a white T-shirt and black shorts. Prem immediately took notice of what the doctor had mentioned. He noticed a few bruises on Heer's arm and legs. His eyes eventually found their way to where Heer had the cut. He gently placed his hand on the stitches'as if asking for the pain to be transferred onto himself. Terrified by that evening's events, Prem placed a blanket on Heer and set next to her the bed, keeping his eyes fixed on her at all time.
