PART 8
Meher brought her legs closer to her upper body and played with her dupatta nervously. preet sat at the edge of the bed and looked towards meher. she looked like an angel. she was only missing a smile he thought. he had always been able to feel her nervousness and today she was very nervous. He kept staring at her.
Meher didnt dare to raise her eyes. she didn't know what was going to happen.
Preet decided to break the silence and tried to make meher comfortable.
preet(looking at meher): meher. tum bauhat khoobsurat lag rahi ho.(meher looking down)i know tum bauhat uncomfortable and nervous feel ker rahi ho. trust me main bhi same feel ker raha hun. meher main jaanta hun tumhe mujhse darr lag raha hai magar please tumhe mujhse darne ki zaroorat nahi(meher looks at him and smiles. she feels less scared now. preet returns the smile). meher ab hum pati patni hai aur friends bhi.tum mujhse apni feelings share ker sakti ho. koi bhi baat ho kuch bhi kehna ho tum darna mat.(waits for meher to say something but she doesnt) kaafi raat ho gayi hai.i think ab hamain soo jana chahiye. (saying this he gets up from the bed and takes out his white kurta from the closet and goes to the washroom to change)
Meher gets up from the bed and goes toward the dresser to remove her jewellery. she takes her nighty and goes to change after preet comes out.
Preet looks around the room thinking if he should sleep on the bed with meher or not. maybe she will feel uncomfortable if he sleeps on the bed he thought and he doesnt want her to feel that on their first night or any other day or night. so he decides to sleep on the sofa in the room. preet was a tall guy and the sofa was small for him but he managed. he put away his sherwani and went to the sofa with a pillow and a blanket.
Meher comes out of the washroom and sees preet lying on the sofa. Preet looks at her and keeps staring. she was wearing a long loose maroon nighty.her long hair was open nicely placed on her shoulders and back. with no makeup and no jewellery, only mangalsutar hanging on her neck, she was looking very beautiful preet thought. every time he looked at her, she always seemed more beautiful to him. he realized he has been staring at her for too long so he moves his eyes from her.
Meher thought it was nice of preet to understand her and give her space. she would have felt very uncomfortable if he had slept on the same bed.but the sofa was too small for him she noticed. but preet gave her a smile assuring her that he was ok.
Meher went to the bed and laid down closing her eyes and covering herself with the blanket.
After about an hour, meher heard a loud noise. she turned on the lamp on her night table. she saw preet on the floor struggling, well somehow stuck, with his blanket. preet looked at her embarrassingly but managed to smile to tell her he is ok. meher kept looking at him. the situation looked very amusing to her. a grown man stuck in a blanket and fighting with a lifeless blanket. preet got annoyed and tried to get himself out of the blanket but he failed because it was stuck in the sofa and he didnt notice that. he kept fighting with the blanket when he saw meher coming towards him, who was trying not to laugh. he looked at her helplessly. meher went towards the sofa and took the blanket out and preet got rid of the blanket.
preet(on the floor with blanket around him): woh pata nahi…(told himself to shut up before he embarrassed himself more) (standing and embarrassed)thanks meher
meher(trying not to laugh): no problem
preet(looked at meher who was trying not to laugh. he started laughing at himself): hans lo meher. hasnay ke paisay nahi lagtay!
meher(looking at him laughing, she could not control her laughter and burst out laughing. they stopped laughing after a few moments): preet tum bed par soo jao
preet(looking at her in amazement): are...are you sure meher? i am fine on the sofa. just keep this blanket away from me(throwing the blanket away)
meher(smiling): i am sure. itna to bharosa hai.
Meher and preet gave each other a smile and both went to sleep on the bed, on their sides.
After-awhile, preet looked at a sleeping meher. he recollected the smile and the laugh meher had few minutes ago. he was happy that he was able to make her smile, even if it meant embarrassing himself. Smiling, he went to sleep.
