Estranged
Prem twirled a stray branch around and around his finger, mindlessly waiting for her. He knew that she was shattered that he and her couldn't be and he also knew that she didn't like the fact that he was going to be alone, while she become someone's amanat. That's why he was going to change that. He was going to lie. To the love of his life.
~~~
She hummed aimlessly as she walked through the dusty fields the separated his house from hers. Smiling at nothing in particular, she mused over the last couple of days. In her wildest dreams she could not have imagined such a change of events. Till yesterday she had been engaged to be married within the week to her father's friend's son; Ajay. But as fate would have it, her mother overheard her tearful conversation with Shifali and had been aghast that her daughter had quietly accepted her father's decisions. Her mother canceled the wedding that very day and ordered Meera to get get her love, her prem.
~~~
Prem's eyes snapped open, he could feel her standing behind him. Slowly he turned to look into her eyes. Bring and animated, they stared back. For Prem, time stood still. Looking at her brought back such sharp memories he thought he would never have to face again.Falling in love was one thing, to lose his love was killing him slowly. He knew it was selfish for him but a part of him was hoping desperately that Meera would come and beg him to run away because for her he would leave everything behind in a second. But looking at her know, the happiness glistening in her eyes told him one thing. She was falling out of love with him and into love with Ajay.
~~~
Thunder crashed, music to Meera's ears as she waited for the clouds to break loose. Prem's face so resigned, so defeated before her, and she knew she would bring him happiness in mere seconds. Never before had she gone through such a whirlwind of emotion but standing in from of Prem, she knew her future held nothing but happiness.
~~~
There was nothing for it. Prem pondered. He didn't think it would matter if she told her or not seeing as she looked so happy to be with Ajay. But he had promised himself and honoring your word, your thoughts was something Meera had taught him. Taking a deep breath, feeling as if all the world's bricks were being shoved down his throat; he spoke.
"I'm getting married."
~~~
Her stomach dropped, deeper then she had known it to exist.
~~~
He watched her face, still frozen with the excitement from, earlier.
~~~
His image swam before her eyes as the filled with tears. Finding her voice, she croaked.
"T-that's great!"
He smiled feebly at her.
"We'll be getting married at the same time.
Meera stared at him, only one thought running through her mind. 'But to different people.'
~~~
Prem watched Meera talk to cover the awkwardness and his eyes dropped in shame. Lulling Meera into a false sense of reality was not something he wanted to do, but something he had to do. She always thought of everyone before herself and he knew she wouldn't be happy and would not be able to live with herself if she knew Prem was alone. He didn't think lying would hurt so much.
~~~
Meera turned to go, her heart clenched in pain. Walking slowly back to her house she understood. That love is not forever. It's a phase in life, a beautiful phase. Once it's over, its memories evade the mind, heart and soul till death brings its sanctuary of tranquility. Shutting her eyes a lone tear ran down her cheek.
The clouds opened.
~~~
There you have it! My first Prem/Meera shot! 😆 Basic storyline, (in case you didn't get it) Meera was supposed to get to Ajay but then her mom made her cancel when she found out about Prem. When Meera went to tell Prem to good news, Prem, thinking that it would be for the best (because of Meera's nature) told her that he was getting married. Both left their own ways, not knowing they could have been.
Thanks to Meera for the FANTASTIC concept, all credit goes to her! Comments or hits of the like button always appreciated!
