Part 11

"I'll think of something….Oh…don't panic, Meher", Preet added seeing the flare of fear in her eyes…"It isn't your beautiful body I'm after…We went that way before, remember?..I don't think either of us want to repeat the experience"

Meher winced inwardly, "You bas***d", she flung at him….Preet shrugged off the insult-

"As you said, lady, I'm no gentleman….Go back inside, back to your Mr.Khandelwal, before he comes looking for you. You wouldn't want him to find us together, would you Meher Mann?

Once inside she went upto where Sameer was. She didn't know how long had she been away, but clearly Sameer had been fully occupied all the time, to even realize her absence. At any other time she would have shrugged it off knowing Sameer and that nothing could change him. But the thought of Preet's words," Agar usse tumhari fikr hoti toh woh tumhe dhundne zaroor aata", aroused anger in her. Taking a glass of wine, she hastily swallowed it to cool her nerves.

She had no idea what was going to happen, why Preet was here, what did he want from her. She knew she had no alternative but to wait till he let her know the price he wanted for his silence. And when he did, she vowed, if humanely possible she'd pay it, no matter what it cost. She couldn't let him destroy her life.

She wished the evening was over. She felt emotionally drained and physically exhausted after the encounter with Preet. But there were a couple of hours to go-not to mention-the Lottery.

"Ladies and Gentlemen", as if to answer her thoughts Sid's voice came over the mike."We're about to start with the lucky draw in a while and announce the winners…Please be ready with your tickets"

Her next few word made Meher freeze in her tracks…………….

"I'm delighted to let you know that our Guest-of-Honour tonight-Preet Juneja, has graciously agreed to present the prizes"

If Preet was to present the prizes, Meher thought, he was likely to be busy for some time and thud wouldn't be any more confrontations between them for the time being.

"Meher tumhaare paas tumhaari ticket haina", asked Sameer.

Sameer could afford to buy any of the prizes several times over, yet he was excited by the thought of acquiring them for a tiny price of what it was worth.

"Hey, see who Vikram Rai is with?, Sameer said.

Meher looked in the direction he was pointing out. Vikram Rai,one osf Sameer's competitor's, was there with his fiance, Shreya Mallik.

"Miss-second-hand property aka Shreya Mallik"

Shreya Mallik was a young, beautiful and successful model. He had been in a relationship with one of Sameer's friends. They were together for a couple of years before they called it off.

"I think she's rather sweet", Meher put in hastily.

"Sweet enough to have a bit of fun, but definitely not to marry"

The tone with which Sameer said that made Meher wince. Sameer despised her just because she'd been with another man before and since they were in a relationship for quite some time, they must have been physically intimate. Call it his narrow mindedness, but he still believed in the phrase-"One man woman"….This is what made Meher scared of Preet's threats…If Preet said anything about their past…Sameer would never accept her…

"So there you are", Sid cut in………Meher almost stopped breathing as she noticed the figure standing next to Sid.

"I want you to meet Preet Juneja, our Guest-of-Honour. We're lucky to have him here", Sid added.

"I'm glad Sid persuaded you to come Mr.Juneja..", Sameer said..This is my partner M.."

"Meher Mann", Preet finished it for him…"Main inhe jaanta hun"

Only Meher could understand the darker meaning of his words.

"I…", Meher tried to say but Preet interrupted her…..

"We met just now-in the garden….Your partner and I had an interesting talk, right Miss Mann?, he gave her a challenging look….

"I..needed some fresh air", she blurted.."that's when I met Pre..umm…Mr.Juneja"

"Well I'd like you to escuse me…We have to start the Lottery….Mr.Juneja you'll have to come along", Sid said.

After a while-

"Alright , Ladies and Gentlemen, the first number is……", Sid said as Preet drew the ticket and handed it to her to announce….

"Ninety four", she said…which was followed by cries of excitement from the crowd…A little girl had won the proze

"Only one number is out…..", Sonia exclaimed impatiently..

Meher was observing Preet…watching the smiling ease with which he performed his role. She could see the same old Juneja behind the sophisticated man. The present day Preet, still had the power to frighten her…make her want to run and hide, fearful of what he might do.

"Meher", Sonia's excited voice broke her thoughts…."Number fifty one, tum jeet gayi". She snatched the ticket from Meher's hand-"Go collect your prize"

Meher pulled herself together….She couldn't stand being in the same same room as Preet let alone share the stage. However, walked towards the stage.As she mounted she saw a red envelope in Sid's hand. Wait was it her prize. It was the she realized that she'd been lost in her thoughts for quite some time. She had won afterall the mystery prize.

Her gaze went on to where Preet stood and their eyes met, she saw his mouth curve into a wide smile, to the audience, must have seemed like one of warm congratulations. Meher, however was close enough to see the light of triumph in those bright eyes, and the way they slid from her face and down, slowly and appreciatively, over the rest of her body.

"Congratulations", Sid enclosed her in a brief hug and pushed the envelope in Meher's hands…Well go on open it"

She opened the envelope with shaky hands and drew out a beautifully inscribed card. Her gaze focused on two words inscribed on it…No, that couldn't be true…Colour drained off her face as she read what was written on the card…

"What is it", someone called out…But Meher couldn't find the strength to answer them. Now she knew the reason for Preet's smile of triumph.

"I guess Meher's too stunned to tell you what her prize is, so perhaps I'd better explain and then I'm sure you'll understand her reaction", Sid announced...

"Our prize tonight has come about through the generosity of one man-to whom we offer our deepest thanks. He has very kindly offered his time and talent to make this a very special prize indeed. Meher has won an opportunity to sit for her own portrait-painted by none other than Preet Juneja!!!!"

P.S: Finally a looong update...I hope you guys enjoy it...And ya wishing all of you all a verrryyy happpyyy newww yearrr...Cheeerrsss!!!😛😉
