PART 7
One day before the wedding both families decided to have a sangeet/mehndi ceremony. Since they didn't have a lot of time to prepare, they both decided to have it together. Preet was very happy to hear this as this gave him a chance to see meher and meet her maybe. Due to the wedding preparations, meher didnt get a lot of time to think about harman and preet.
The sangeet/mehndi night arrived. Meher wore a beautiful light yellow shalwar kameez . She was looking very beautiful. Preet wore a maroon kurta. He was looking the most handsome in the ceremony. both meher and preet were looking the best.
Although the ceremony was at the same place (meher's house), girls and guys were not allowed to be together. Girls put mehndi on meher's hand and heer and chahat danced with other girls. Preet was getting bored with all the guys.
Nihaal(noticing preet's sadness because he was away from meher): kya baat hai preet muun latka ker kyun betha hai? aakhri din to hai aazaadi ka. enjoy ker.
Preet gave him an angry look and looked around. he found vikas and asked him to come to him.
vikaas: kya hua mamu?
preet: mere piyaray bhanjay. mera aik kaam karega.
vikaas(teasing preet): kya baat hai mamu shaadi app ki meher mami se ho rahi hai aur app ko mujh par pyar aa raha hai!
preet: chup ker besharam! mera aik kaam ker daina pleaseeee(showing his most innocent face)
vikaas: hmm kaam. mamu app ko to pata hai aj kal koi kaam free main nahi hota hai.
preet(taking out chocolates from his pocket): mujhe pata hai! isliye main tere liye yeh chocolates laya hun.(he brought chocolates with him just in case he needed them to bribe someone or felt hungry)
vikaas(happy): vah mamu! app to bauhat samajhdaar ho (taking chocolates from preet but preet takes them away)
preet: samajhdaar to main hun! pehle tu ja aur apni mami ko dekh ker aa aur mujhe bata kaisi lag rahi hai woh aur haan yeh mera phone le jaa aur chupke se aik picture le laina.
vikaas: ok mamu.main jata hun.laikin mom ne kuch kaha to main bata dunga app ne kaha tha.
preet: aray tu apni mom se itna darta tu kyun hai
vikaas(laughing): jaise app nahi dartay!
preet(embarrassed): acha chor.pehle jaa mera kaam ker.
Vikaas went to look for meher but he didnt find her with all the other girls. He looked around and found her on the terrace alone. he came to preet to tell him.
preet: vikaas itni dair kyun lagayi tu ne? (preet was very impatient. he was dying to see her. but since he couldnt see her he wanted to know how she was looking and sending a kid to check out meher was safer than sending a man he thought possessively)
vikaas: mamu, mami wahan nahi thin to main un ko dhoondhnay chala gaya tha. mami bauhat achi lag rahi hai. unho ne yellow colour pehna hai.app ki choice achi hai mamu!aur main picture nahi le saka.(smiling)
preet(smiling): haan meri meher bauhat pyari hai! acha yeh bata woh hai kahan(preet got an idea. maybe he could meet her if she was alone)
vikaas: woh terrace par hai akele(little did he know what his mamu was upto.innocent child preet thought)
preet(very happy): thanks(gives vikaas chocolates and goes to meet meher)
Preet found meher on the terrace staring at the moon. Under the moonlight, she was looking like an angel. He stood their for a few minutes and kept looking at her.
Meher was not aware of preet's presence. She wanted to be alone for some time. She was looking at preet's name on her hand. She always wanted Harman's name on her hand but destiny had something else for her. Here she was standing alone one day before her wedding remembering her love, who was not going to be her husband. she looked upto the moon and started talking.
Meher(sad): mujhe maaf ker daina harman. maine tumse kia hua har vaada tor dia. kal main kisi aur ki ho jaungi aur phir shayad mera koi haq nahi hoga tumhe aise yaad kerne ka. aj tak tumhari yaadon ke saharay jee rahi thi magar ab un yaadon ko bhi chorna hoga. mujhe maaf ker daina. (a tear fell on her cheek)
Preet heard what meher said and became very sad. it was painful for him to see meher talking about her love(who was not him) because he started to love her too. he told himself to stop being selfish and moved towards meher with a smile.
Preet(standing beside meher): hi meher
meher(she looked beside her shock): tum yahan?
preet(looking at her and thinking how beautiful she was looking.it was getting hard for him to control his emotions): haan woh andar bauhat garmi thi to socha bahir aa jaon fresh air ke liye. (meher looking down) umm meher
meher: haan
preet(in a husky voice): tum bauhat khoobsurat lag rahi ho
meher: thanks (although preet was going to be her husband, she still felt awkward hearing him praise her)
preet: meher kal hamari shaadi ho jayegi. main jaanta hun yeh tumhare liye mushkil hai. apne pyar ko bhulana na mumkin hota hai.maine kabhi pyar nahi kia magar suna yehi hai.mujhe nahi pata agar tum apne past ko bhula sakogi magar main promise kerta hun tumhe future main bauhat khushiyan dunga. main chahta hun is rishte ki shuruvaat hum dosti se karay. (extending his hand) kya tum meri dost banogi? (meher looked at him hesitantly. she didnt know what to say. preet was a nice a guy but how could she be friends with him) yaad hai meher jab hum pehli baar milay the tumne kaha tha har rishte ki shuruvaat bharosa hota hai?
meher(confused where he was going with this conversation): haan
preet: hamari dosti us bharosay ka saboot hogi aur hamaray nayay rishtay ki shuruvaat. agar tumhe mujh par bharosa hai to mujhse dosti kerlo. no expectations no demands. only friendship.(he looked at her with a smile and waited for her response)
Meher(whatever preet was saying was not wrong she thought so there was no harm in accepting his friendship but there was one problem): preet main tumse haath nahi mila sakti
preet(sad): its ok meher. agar tum dosti nahi kerna chahti to koi baat nahi
meher(showing him her hands which still had wet mehndi on her hands): mehndi sukhi nahi hai isliye. i accept your friendship(for the first time she gave him a smile and preet gave her a wide smile. he was very happy to see meher smiling)
preet(smiling): thanks meher
meher: dosti main no thank you no sorry
preet: ok(preet kept looking at her and there was silence between them)
meher(noticing the silence): i think ab mujhe chalna chahiye
preet: huh..haan. (meher started to walk away from him to join everyone and preet kept looking at her. he noticed something and stopped her)meher ruko
meher(turning around): haan?
preet(llowering his eyes): woh..woh tumhari kameez ki dori khuli hai peeche.(meher realized the dori of her kameez at the back untied. she got shy because of preet and moved her hands to tie it)
preet(he saw her moving her hands): ruko.tumhari mehndi sukhi nahi hai. kharab ho jayegi.(meher stopped and didnt know what to do)
preet(hesitating): kya main…..(meher didnt say anything and kept looking down. preet moved towards her and extended his hands to tie the knot. while tying the dori his hand touched meher's back. it was their first touch. meher's skin felt really soft on his hands preet thought. his touch made meher shiver and she moved a little away from him. preet noticed this and assured her)
preet: mujh par bharosa hai na? (meher nodded and preet tied the knot. meher quickly went out of the terrace. preet smiled to himself and went inside to join everyone)
After the celebration, Preet and Meher were in their rooms. Both couldn't sleep properly that night.
Preet was thinking about Meher and their future. First time in his life he felt something for someone and he was going to marry her tomorrow. They had become friends but he wanted meher to share everything with him and become happy again. This marriage was not like all other arranged marriages where the guy and the girl get to know each other and then fall in love after marriage with each other preet thought. In this marriage, the girl was already in love. with someone else. and this was going to be a hard task for him.
On the other hand, Meher was thinking about harman, not preet. tomorrow she would be married to someone else and this night she decided to devote it to harman and his yaadain. Preet was a nice guy but he can never take harman's place in her heart she thought.Only harman could be in her heart. she didnt know what was going to happen in future bet she decided that harman would be the only guy in her heart and soul.
The wedding day arrived. Meher wore the red lehenga preet brought for her. Heer made her get ready. she was looking the most beautiful woman that day but there was no happiness on her lips or in her eyes.
Heer: kitni khooburat lag rahi hai meher tu. kahin aj tujhe meri nazar na lag jayay (she put a kala teeqa on her saying this)
maa: mujhe to yakeen hi nahi ho raha meri choti si meher ki shaadi ho rahi hai aj. (she started crying and meher hugged her. she hugged heer didi too)
chahat(entering the room): oho yeh aurtain bhi na! har waqt roti rehti hain (all three woman laughed at the adorable child) meher maasi app kitni pretty lag rahi ho. aj app ki shaadi hai na?
meher(smiling): haan meri pyari chahat
chahat(giving her a card): this is for you! (it was a card with best wishes for the future made by chahat. meher was touched by her bhanji and they hugged. chahat left to play with other children)
Bauji(entering the room and getting worried): aray teji tum abhi tak yahan ho. aur yeh kya meher tayyar nahi hui ab tak? baraat anay wali hogi aur tum log ab tak…(cut off by heer)
heer: aray bauji app chinta na karo. sab ready hai. (bauji starts to leave)
meher(sad and standing up): bauji! (he turned around and saw how beautiful his little daughter was looking. he was sure that he would miss her a lot. he wanted to avoid this moment so kept himself busy with the preparations because he knew he be very upset and cry a lot since meher was leaing)
bauji(coming closer to meher with tears in his eyes): meri beti bikul pari lag rahi hai aj. tujhe duniya ki har khushi milay(saying this he hugged meher and then left the room before he lost control over his tears)
teji:meher kuch minutes baad tu preet ki kitni bun jayegi aur tujhe patni honay ka har farz nibhana hoga yeh hamesha yaad rakhna. kisi ko koi shikayat ka mauqa na daina (she knew meher will be very responsible but being a mother she could not control herself from giving last minute advices. saying this she left the room leaving the two sisters alone and to greet the baraat)
heer: meher apna khayal rakhna. yeh yaad rakhna jo hota hai achay ke liye hota. aur apni har zimedaari puri kerna.
meher: app fiqr na karain didi. (saying this they hugged each other and went out of the room to go to the mandap)
Meher was coming down the stairs lead by heer did. Preet looked towards the stairs to see his bride. He was wearing a light golden (not shiny) sherwani with a red dupatta and pagri. He was looking like a prince. perfect for princess meher. He was mesmerized by her beauty. he had never seen such a beautiful woman he thought. He kept staring at her until she reached the mandap and was standing beside him.
The wedding went smoothly and preet and meher were husband and wife.
Meher was sitting in her new room which she would be sharing with preet. She was sitting in the middle of the bed which was decorated with flowers. She was feeling nervous and scared. She always thought she would be spending this night this moment with harman but that didnt happen. She told herself not to think about harman but to remember her new responsibilities and her new life.
Preet entered the room nervously. even though the room belonged to him before but from today he had to share it with meher, his wife. He saw meher sitting on the bed which was decorated with roses. the room had candles all around. it was perfect for the first night of a newly wedded couple.
