PART 12Meher was walking beside Preet towards the door of the shop. Before Preet could reach for the handle of the door, someone else opened the door and entered. Meher laid her eyes on him and it was Harman. Meher froze at her spot. Harman was shocked to see Meher and stopped as well. Preet walked one foot ahead of Meher and realized she was not walking beside him. He turned around to see what happened and saw Meher standing still staring at the guy standing in front of them. He looked at the guy and realized he had seen this guy somewhere.
Meher kept looking at Harman and Harman kept looking at her too. She saw Harman after such a long time. She heard rumours that he was gone to America but maybe he returned. Looking deep into his eyes, she could see the pain that was filled in his eyes. She was the reason for this pain and sadness she thought. She got married and dissolved herself in her new life, forgetting the past or at least trying to forget. But today he was standing in front of her. Reminding her of their love. It had hurt him a lot. She could tell from the way he was looking at her. She knew it would hurt him a lot. He was a very sensitive guy and he must have broke down when she left him. But she left him for his own good. They would have never been happy since his family didnt like meher or her family. She never wanted to hurt Harman and it was hurting her immensely to see him in this state.
Harman heard about Meher's marriage some time ago. That was when he returned from America. He could never believe she would do that. When she told him that they should separate, he always thought his Meher would come back to him one day. He had hope for their love. But she didnt. She betrayed him. He came back to see if it was true that she was getting married and the news was confirmed when he saw Meher's wedding card in Heer bhabhi's room. How could she forget their love so easily and agree to marry someone else he thought that day. How could she forget all the promises? Today he saw her again. She was looking slimmer. He could see guilt and sadness in her eyes. Was that fake too just like her love he thought. Her love was never true or else she would have never left him. But she left him to live alone miserably while moving on with her life happily.
Harman looked at the tall handsome guy standing beside Meher. He recognized him instantly. He was Preet Juneja. Harman and Preet studied in the same school. They were good friends but Harman secretly hated it that Preet always stole the first place from him in everything, whether it was sports or education. He stole my love too Harman thought. He also remembered reading his name with Meher's on her wedding card. Preet Juneja was her husband. He got the answer to his question that why Meher betrayed him. Preet Juneja was a very rich man. Harman's money was not enough for Meher he thought. So she decided to marry Preet Juneja. He hated Meher more for that.
Harman(looking at preet): hi Mr. Preet Juneja
Preet(he remembered that Harman was his classmate and they were good friends. After the school ended, Preet tried many times to contact Harman but he received no response.He also didnt know what relation Harman had with Meher): hi Harman. How are you?
Harman(he ignored his question and looked at Meher.he looked back at Preet) is she your wife?
Preet(smiled): Yes. This is Meher aur Meher yeh mere school ka friend Harman.
Harman(Preet's smile indicated to Harman that they have a happy married life. he was disgusted with Meher. How could she move one so easily he thought. He wanted to torture her for what she did to him. he extended his hand towards Meher for a handshake. Meher looked at his hand and then moved her hand forward hesitently. He knew this was hurting her. Harman gripped her hand tighter): Nice to meet you. (Meher looked at him with tears in her eyes. Harman was loving it. Meher looked down)
Preet: Itne time baad tum milay ho. kahan the? maine kitna contact kerne ki koshish ki tumhe. why dont you have dinner with us?(Meher was surprised by Preet's offer. She didnt want Harman to have dinner with them. She was feeling very guilty due to his condition)
Harman(smiling): Yaar bas business wagera main busy ho gaya tha. We will have dinner some other day. woh main apni choti behan ka dress lainay aya tha. uski engagement hai kal aur agar aj dress nahi laikay gaya to woh mujhe maar daigi(Preet and Harman laughed at this)
Preet: ok then phir kabhi miltay hai. Here is my number(he gave Harman his business card) see you later!
Harman: Thanks. Bye(Harman went inside the shop)
As Harman went out of Meher's sight, she was relieved. She followed Preet outside the shop. They were driving home.
Meher looked at her hand she used for a handshake with Harman. She felt his touch today after so long. She remembered the times when Harman would hold her hand and they would talk for hours, when everyone would think they were studying. She remembered their passionate hugs. She remembered his kisses on her cheeks. She never allowed him to kiss her lips and told him that those are saved for after their wedding. A wedding that never happened or will ever happen. She got so busy with her new life and Heer didi's problem that she never got time to think about Harman. But today she had time. Even if she tried not to think about him, he was still invading her mind and her heart. Love for him in her heart was aching. Those hurtful feelings were alive again after their meeting.
Preet looked towards Meher and saw the same sadness he had seen when he first saw her. For the past few days he had seen her a bit happier, but today she was looking sad again. He didnt know the reason so he asked her.
Preet(confused): Meher, sab theek to hai?
Meher(her thoughts were interupted by Preet): huh…haan
Preet(he could clearly see that something was wrong with Meher): Meher, kya hua tum theek nahi lag rahi?
Meher(she glanced at Preet. she was not sure if she should tell him that Harman was the man she loves. then she remembered what she told him when they first met, that trust is the base of every relation. she couldnt break this trust or this relation.this relation meant a lot to her parents): woh…Preet…Harman(she could not speak)
Preet(confused): Harman? kya hua? Meher mere samajh nahi aa raha tum kya kehna chah rahi ho
meher(she took a deep breath): woh…Harman hai jis se main pyar….(she could not speak more so she stopped)
Preet understood that Harman was the guy Meher loved. he understood why Meher was suddenly sad. It made him sad too. He didnt know what to say. He just met the guy his wife was in love in with and maybe she was still in love with him. First time in his life he was unsure about what to say.
