Part - 9
Prem shook 'Heer' Heer'. Heer slowly opened her eyes. She stared at Prem. His hands wrapped around her shoulder. She is sweating. He wiped her sweat on her forehead and the tears from her eyes with his handkerchief.
Prem 'Heer, what happened?'
Heer 'Prem, where are we?'
Prem 'we are in the airport'
Heer 'Still in the airport?.... in India?'
Prem 'ha. Our flight departure is delayed by an hour. You slept. But why are you sweating like this? Did you saw any bad dream?' Prem pushed her hair away from her face.
Heer looked down at her dress. She is wearing a pink salwar. 'ha'. Dream'. I'm really scared.' (from settling in a chair after check in and till reaching Cananda is her dream). She held his hand tightly.
Prem 'Heeer. I'm with you.' he kept his hand on hers. She leaned on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead and kept his head on hers.
They boarded the flight. She is quiet. One side she is happy that it is a dream and on other side she is scared. 'Prem will go away from me.' her heart became heavy. Prem felt her hands tightening on his upper arm. He comfortably kept her hands on hers. She leaned on his shoulder through out their journey.
When the flight landed in their destination, after collecting their luggage they came out of the airport. Prem hugged her and kissed her gently on her forehead 'come I'll drop you at your home.'
Heer 'no I'll manage.'
Prem 'Heer, are you sure?'
Heer nodded. Prem arranged the taxi for her. He kissed her on cheek 'meet you t'row in the office. Take care.' As she went in the taxi, Prem walked towards his car thinking 'why she is so scared?'
Heer entered her flat. It's a single bedroom flat. She fell on the bed. 'I went out of this country as Ms. Heer to help Prem. but I became Mrs. Heer Juneja. I don't have any right on that name. One day Sanjana will be introduced to this world as Mrs. Juneja.'
She got up from the bed wiping her tears. She removed her mangalsutra from her neck and the ring from her hand. She kissed it before keeping it safe inside the box.
Before going to bed, she opened her bag and took the pictures out of the cover. She took one of her picture taken in the wedding. She removed her picture from the frame, which is in the bedside. She inserted their wedding picture. She slept hugging the picture.
In Juneja Mansion, Prem picked up his laptop and sat on the bed. He decided to inform Sanjana about his return.
Prem 'fine. Just now I came.'
Sanjana 'how is your Dad?'
Prem 'Dad is fine. I want to tell you something important. When can we meet?'
Sanjana 'for two days I'm busy. Day after t'row is the contest. So I cannot come out. Tell me in the phone itself.'
Prem thought for a while 'Sanjana, to save Dad, I took my PS with me and introduced her as my girlfriend. I thought later I can talk with Dad about our matter.'
Sanjana didn't allow him to continue 'its okay Prem, you did that to save your Dad's life. Anyway I'm not ready for marriage for another 2 years. Marriage will end my career. So till then its better not to disclose the matter to your Dad. He may want us to marry immediately.'
Prem thought 'Sanjana didn't understand what i said'.
Sanjana continued to talk about her contest, but Prem didn't give any attention as his eyes fell on the mail sent by Preet. He is enjoying the pictures of Heer in their marriage.
Sanjana 'Prem. I have to take rest now. Otherwise I'll get black mark around my eyes. good night.'
Prem 'good night.' He slept looking at the pictures of Heer.
Next day in the office, Prem 'Heer, is that details ready?' others looked at them with a confusion.
Heer 'yes. Mr. Prem. I kept it on your table.'
Prem felt pain when she addressed him as Mr. 'why she is moving away from me?'
They didn't find time to talk other than official. Heer came to hand over a file to him. His eyes fell on the shinning part of her finger. 'She is still wearing the ring.' He smiled. She went out after getting sign from him.
After she moved out of his cabin, Prem looked at his ring 'let this ring remain in my finger as the memory of Heer.' He remembered his days with her. 'She is sweet. I love the days I spent with her. I want to hold her always in my hands.' He smiled. His phone rang.
Sanjana 'T'row is the contest. You are coming right?'
Prem 'no Sanjana. I have to do lot of work. But I'll be watching it live.'
Sanjana 'its okay Prem. I have to go. Call you later.'
He hang up the phone and threw it on the table. His thoughts went back to Heer. 'I'm thinking always about Heer. I never felt like this for Sanjana. Why? '
Prem got ready to leave the office. Outside entire hotel is in panic. Prem came out of cabin 'what is the problem?' Manager informed him that the lift got struck up.
Prem 'is anyone inside?'
Manager 'Ms. Heer'
When he heard Heer's name, he become mad. He felt like someone is pulling his heart away from him.
Prem shouted at the manager. 'where is the maintenance manager? What is he doing? '
Manager' we have informed them and already we are trying to '' before he finishes.
Prem 'which floor?'
Manager 'between 5th and 6th floor' Prem ran to 5th floor. Manager ran behind him.
When he reached the floor one staff 'I think she fainted inside. There is no response from her.'
Prem shouted 'Heer. Heer.' But he didn't get any reply form her. Prem became restless. He yelled at the people around him. After half-an hour they managed to bring the lift to the 5th floor and they opened the door. Heer is unconscious inside the lift. Prem ran to Heer and grabbed her in his hand. 'call the doctor.' He took her to his private room.
Doctor checked her 'nothing to worry. She fainted in fear.' Prem told the others to go to their work.
Heer opened her eyes saw Prem sitting next to her with tears. 'Heer , How are you?' he placed his palm on her head.
Heer 'I'm alright.' she sat on the bed.
Prem 'you take rest for sometime. I'll drop you at home.' He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. She quickly got out of the bed and about to move out of the room. Prem pulled her and turned her around. She landed directly onto his chest. As soon as her face hit his chest her hands automatically held his coat. He hugged her. She cried. Suddenly she pulled herself away 'I'm alright Mr. Prem'.
Prem with anger 'stop calling me Mr.' she looked into his eyes, which showed the pain of his heart. She looked at him with sorry face.
Prem 'its okay Heer. Don't ever try to go away from me.' heer nodded 'I'll not Prem.' she leaned back on his chest.
Prem 'come, I'll drop you.'
Heer 'your are getting late for your appointment with..'
Prem interrupted 'business is not important than you. I can drop you on my way.' he hugged her and kissed her cheek. He stroked her hair gently. She is leaning on his chest keeping her palm on his heart. He picked up her hand and kissed on her palm 'come.' They left out through the private exit.
In front of Heer's flat, Prem gently kissed her cheek 'bye. See you t'row.' He drove away. Heer's heart filled with joy, which she couldn't understand. 'he still wants me to be with him.' other side she is confused 'is it correct? He belongs to Sanjana.'
