This Micheal Jackson song has been playing over and over, and so I went and read the lyrics cus I started liking it...and it just seemed to fit perfectly for Prem...kinda?😳 So I wrote a one shot on it...Bhav knows HOW much difficulty I had even writing one sentence! 😆 But now that I've written it...I don't like it much, but I'll let you all be the judge of that! 😃
Prem sat down on the plane and waited. Waited for that sadness that constantly engulfed him day after day.
He was sitting by the window and he stared out at the runway where the attendants were throwing everyone's suitcases into the plane. That's how his heart had felt that day at the train station. Just being thrown away without any care in the world.
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
Heer had just turned around and left. Her dupatta slipped out of his hands just like she slipped out of his life.
She was his Heer—they were meant to be together forever. They had gone through so much together and had overcome every obstacle thrown in their way.
Was this something they wouldn't be able to get through?
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
She had made him promise not to come after her and now as he stared out at the fluffy white clouds. In a way they reminded him of his Heer. They were pure, just like she was despite his lack of trust in her.
He cursed himself everyday thinking of what led him to be swayed to do such a despicable deed with Ashlesha. He had always thought his love for Heer was pure but then that night something changed his whole reason of living. His being with Heer was gone now he was left with his memories of her.
Alone.
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
As he watched the plane soar through the clouds; heading to his land, a wave of happiness flushed over him. He was coming home. To his country. Where he had met his life. His Heer. She could be anywhere in this country, but something stirred in his heart telling him that he'd see her again.
But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
Feeling a tap on his shoulder he turned to see Preet gone from the seat next to him and instead a much happier looking person sat there. Someone whose smile seemed contagious.
"I'm Yuvraj,"
Prem just nodded and turned back to the window. It seemed more familiar to him now. The cloud were his protective blanket. Shielding others from seeing the hurt emotions lying in his heart being reflected through his eyes.
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
He closed his eyes and let his memories come flooding back. Shiv Mandir. The frightened look in her eyes every time she saw him. The way he felt when he found out she was getting married to Manmeet. All their private moments that had led them to fall in love with each other.
He could hear Yuvraj talking to him but his brain wasn't processing anything. It was lost in thoughts about Heer.
She always took over his mind and heart and soul. It was all hers to being with.
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
As the gates to the airport opened he saw Yuvraj grinning at him happily. "Chalo mein aapni dulhan se tumhe milata hoon,"
Prem didn't want to see any girl right now. He knew she'd have a happy glow on her face only reminding him of the hurt he had caused the girl he loved the most. Yuvraj took his hand and led him out of the airport.
Prem's steps slowed as he saw a girl dressed in yellow. Her back was to him and he felt a connection to her. As she slowly turned around he saw his heart knew all along who it was.
Heer.
She looked to happy until her eyes locked with his. All the emotion drained from her face only to reflect the sadness hidden in her heart caused by his pain.
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
He wanted to take her away and talk to her. Ask her how she was. Ask her what she had been through but as he saw Yuvraj take her hand he knew. Heer wasn't his anymore.
She belonged to someone else.
He'd have to put a stone on his heart as he smiled to her. She looked at him with confused eyes and he wanted to take her in his arms and explain everything to her.
Try one last time to make her see his side of the story.
But it was too late.
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
He would have to look over her in a way that she wouldn't know. He'd be like her angel. Keeping in touch with Yuvraj constantly to find out how his 'dulhan' was. He wouldn't be able to bear to hear her name from his own lips anymore. It had been 6 long years since he'd said her name and he couldn't bring himself to say it now.
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
He smiled back at the happy couple and silently walked away. He wanted her to see him happy. Just so she'd know he was alright. As he turned away something in his heart told him to turn back just to see her one last time.
As he turned he saw her eyes on him while Yuvraj kept talking and then he saw the one thing he'd treasure and remember forever.
A lone tear that escaped her big brown eyes and trailed down her cheek.
For you are not alone...
That was my mini tribute to Micheal Jackson...😳 Hope you guys liked it! 😃
