Imtehaan- Tragic Meet OS
( I wasn't sure of the hindi word for test, but that is what i meant!😆)
Preet stood still, He could not believe what he was hearing.
"Meher beta, we think it is time you settle down. We have a boy in mind for you. Agar, tumhe koi aitraaz nahi hai, hum usse fridayko bulaye?" gayathri said stroking meher's hair.
Meher scanned the room until her eyes rested on him. Preet looked away. "Ji, ma jaise aapko thik lage." meher said in a hushed tone. Preet's gaze immediately returned to meher's face.

The next day, gayathri sent Preet and Meher shopping. "Uh, preet, tujhe aaj koi kam hai?" gayathri said hopefully. "nahi ma, kyun kuch chaye?" preet said concerned. "Haan, tum meher ko shopping le jaoge? Aur sab busy hain, aur usko friday ke liye shopping karni hai."
Preet didn't know what to say. Just then meher arrived. "Meher, preet will take you shopping!" gayathri said happily.
"Arre nahi ma, mein khud se chali jaongi" meher tried to protest. "nahi meher! aur waise bhi you need a boy's opinion and you two are such good friends."
Meher and Preet were unable to refuse gayathri.

In the Car
"Meher....why are you doing this?" preet said.
"doing what?" meher said trying to evade the long due conversation.
"Damn it, Meher! why did you agree for marriage...when you know I love you!" preet said angrily.
Meher was startled, she had never seen Preet this angry, but she refused to let him intimidate her. "Preet, you don't love me. You love ashlesha. If you loved me, you would have told everyone a long time ago, instead of getting engaged to Ashlesha." meher said as she walked into the store.
As meher tried on clothes preet ondered meher's words. Preet knew Meher had a point. He should not have gotten engaged to Ashlesha- he didn't love her. But how was he to refuse his parents and he couldn't leave ashlesha right after her parents had died. He was going to tell his parents and Ashlesha eventually. He just needed time.
Meher stepped out in a green sari with a gold blouse. She looked gorgeous. She silently waited for Preet's approval even though she didn't want to ask him for it. Preet walked up to meher. Meher stepped back. He stood inches away from her. He looked into her big brown eyes.he carefully tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. He then leaned in and said "you look beautiful. "
For a moment meher was caught in his eyes. She stepped back and ran back into the dressing room. She closed the door and leaned against the door trying to cath her breath. How could she let him have this power over her? If he loved her, he would fight for her. He wouldn't let her marry someone else.
****************************************************
Meher came down in her new green sari, fully adorned in gold jewelry. Lalit beamed at her and gave her ashirwad, hile gathri put a kala thika on her. Heer gave her hand a tight squeeze and prem patted her back. Harman stood up...he smiled at meher.
As the elders discussed their future, meher's wyes were in search of preet. This was his chance, it was their chance. She finally spotted him walk through the door hand in hand with ashlesha.
" Harman, kya tumhe ye shaadi mansoor hai?"
Harman excitedly responded, "Ji, mujhe meher se shaadi karni hai."
The elders laughed at his eagerness.
"meher beta, tum is rishta se khush ho?"
Meher took one last look at preet, his hand still intertwined with ashlesha's. "Ji, mujhe ye shaadi mansoor hai." meher said as each word took each ounce of strength she had.
Okay! So what do you guys think? I was thinking that i would show meher- harman's shaadi too, but I think this ending is less tragic. there is still hope for him to stop the wedding! Please leave comments and criticism! thanks!😃
