"Heer main tumara jeena haram kardoongi. Prem main tume nahin chodoonge, kabi nahi", Ash's words still rang in his ears. Prem sat on his bed covered with rose petals, his head in his hand. He was fighting with all his strength not to cry as his Heer would come in any moment. Everything was so perfect, the wedding, the family, Heer as his dulhan, but Ash ruined everything. He remembered how Preet pushed Ash out, how Heer, Bauji had tears in their eyes, how Preet, Harman & all the girls pacified him, tried to joke around & sent him to his room 4 his suhag raat. He heard the sound of payal. Heer came in. Prem couldn't lift his head. How was he going to... even his thoughts got broken. Heer came in with a plate of food. Neither had eaten since morning. She remembered his words during sagai, how he had said that he would b devastated if anything goes wrong this time, that he wont b able to tolerate anymore problems in their marriage. "Prem" she called, & saw him wiping off a tear. She put down the plate & ran to him. She sat next to him & grabbed his hand. It was all Prem wanted, he leaned onto her, yanked his head onto her chest &broke down uncontrollably into tears. She held his face close to her bosom. She was not gonna cry today, she thought. Not today, 6ys she had cried & blamed prem. But now her heart was filled completely with so much love 4 him that it had no space left 4 any doubt. "Prem, I love u & I trust u 2 death" she said soothing him. She made him lie on her lap. She wiped his tears & Prem kissed her hand, grabing onto it fiercely. * Prem felt guilty"how can u love me so much"he asked . "exactly the way u love me"she answered.They got lost in each others eyes.After few minutes.*Heer put her face on Prems "Prem lets eat" "No Heer, am not hungry" " Prem u havn't eaten anything, chalo" she said kissing his lips. Thats when Prem remembered that even Heer hadn't had anything. He got up. Heer took a spoon of rice & tried to feed Prem, but Prem made her eat half of the rice from the spoon & then he ate the other half. Heer smiled. They fed eachother while Heer was trying to fool around with him, trying to change his mood. She took a piece of bindi rightfrom his mouth & ate it which made him angry. He grabbed a laughing Heer by the waist & made her sit on his lap. Then he forcefully took the plate from her hand & ate the rest of the bindi. Heer kept on laughing. But she could c the sadness in his face & the devastation in his eyes.* an hour later* Prem lay on the bed, he couldn't 4get everything that happened. He didn't notice Heer looking @ him. She came & saton the edge of the bed near him. Prem saw her & tried to smile. She removed his hand from his chest & lyed down close to him, using his arm as her pillow. His hands automatically held her body, he kissed her forehead. Heer got up & laid herself almost on top of him & reached on to kiss his cheek. "Ouch" she heard prem shout,rubbing his cheek.Her heavy jewellery stuck him. Heer giggled & hugged him tightly. "Ouch ouch"Prem shouted again. "Heer,tum bi na". Prem slowly removed her mangtika, "ouch" now it was Heer who said it. "lagi kya?" he asked concerned, rubbing her forehead. "HA.." she lied. Prem understood his Heer but pretended not to. He kissed her forehead. "ab dard hai" he asked. "uhhum no" she smiled putting her arms around him. Prem removed her earings, necklace & bangles & she kept on saying 'ouch' & he kept on kissing her. * The night deepened, Heer was half asleep lying on top of Prem, she felt Prem slowly putting her body down on the bed. He pulled in a pillow & carefully placed her head on it. He then turned on to his side of the bed. After sometime Heer opened her sleepy eyes. But her face fell seeing Prems swollen face. He was fidgeting in the bed, unable to sleep. He didnt deserve such pain she thought , she couldnt c her Prem in this state. "Prem"she whispered in her sweetest tone. He was startled, "kya hua" he lifted her from the pillow & held her close to him. "Heer tum soyi nahi abhi tak?" he asked cradling her.
No she complained to him how she was unable to sleep wearing the heavy thick lehenga. Prem told her to change, but Heer had other things in mind. "Prem" she pouted "I am so tired can u change my clothes"she asked sweetly to her hubby. Prem glared @ his naughty wife & shook his head. "Heer..tum b na". "Please Prem" she insisted. "OK," he smiled. Heer saw him smile 4 the first time since that dreaded incident. And she felt releaved . Prem & Heer were still lying on bed. Prem untied her dori & removed her blouse, which made Heer extremely shy. Prem saw her blushing hard & so he pulled the bed covers on top of her. He removed all her clothes & got up to get her fresh suit. But Heer stopped him, she pulled him back on to bed, "i love u & i cant c u sad". Prem replied by kissing & nuzzling her all over body. He kissed her ankles & removed her payal. They made beautiful love allnight & Prem slept peacefully.
