Chapter 22
In the dead of the night, a phone vibrated under Fari's pillow. She moaned before picking the phone up to see that it was a call from Biru.
"Kya Biru? How many times I told you to calculate the time difference before you call me!" Fari hissed at the phone.
"Sorry darling, I was just missing you. Will call you tomorrow, good night!" Biru hanged up quickly before Fari had a chance to scream at him about how he might have woken up Heeriye.
Thank God, Heeriye didn't wake up, Fari thought to herself. She looked at the pillow next to her and sat in shock as she found nobody sleeping on it.
"Heeriye?" Fari whispered as she made her way downstairs. Fari was sure Heeriye called a cab and went off to London. She was known to do things like that. Fari dialed Heer's phone but it went straight to voicemail. Where was she? What if the cab driver kidnapped her? She must go and wake up Prem and they both need to go find Heer!
As she reached the living room, she found it empty.
"Hmmm...yeh bhi yahan nahi? Did he run off too?" Fari said to herself.
She went to the front door and saw Prem's car still parked. She went to the kitchen, once again trying to call Heer while trying not to get a panic attack. Just as the phone went to voice mail, she noticed two figures outside in the backyard from the kitchen door.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Prem and Heer have been in the cold for about an hour now. Both of their fingers were turning red and numb because of the cold but they both hardly noticed. They hardly noticed that their heads and coats over completely covered in snow or that their cheeks were puffed red. All they noticed was each other's eyes. They faces were so close that they could feel each other's breaths. For an hour now, they have been standing in the cold, holding each other and getting lost in each other's eyes. Nothing else seem to matter to them.
All of a sudden Heer looked away.
"I, I should go back inside. I need to wake up early tomorrow." Prem pulled her back to himself. Their faces were so close now that if anyone even moved an inch, their lips would be meeting. Heer looked up to his eyes again and a slight smile appeared on both of their lips.
++++++++++++++++++
Fari got herself a tissue and watched them with a happy smile with tears streaming down her face. Finally. Finally Heeriye found someone. Oh meri Heeriye, she thought to herself, come on and kiss him!! Kiss him Heeriye!
Just than her phone started to vibrate again. It was Mercedes.
"So I was wondering if you would like the new brown boots from YSL." "Not now, Mercedes!"
"Are you alright? Why are you whispering to me? Why are you not shouting??"
"MERCEDES! Not now! I'll call you later!" Fari hanged up the phone.
In New York, Mercedes wondered if something happened to Fari. She never wasted a moment to talk about shoes or to scream at Mercedes.
Fari went back to watching the love birds.
++++++++++++++++++++++
As Prem tilted Heer's head to kiss her, her hand shot up and covered his lips.
"Prem, maybe it's a little bit too early for this."
Prem backed away and Heer gave him an apologetic smile.
"So umm how about we get to know each other first....maybe going for dinner? Just the two of us?" Prem asked her, hopefully.
"Yes that would be fantastic! Heer would love to go out with you! After her play on Monday!!!" Fari shouted as she made her way to where Prem and Heer were, barefoot.
"Fari, aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Heer asked her.
"I could be asking you the same thing. Good thing Biru called me or else God knows what would have happened. Anyways, I am freezing." Fari said as she jumped up and down. Not only was she barefoot but she just had a sleevless tank and pajamas. Prem, Heer and Fari started to walk back to the house.
"Just to let you know, Daljeet Chachi is on her way downstairs for her 3 am, snack break. That's why I disturbed you two. Otherwise I was having quite fun watching you too." Fari giggled as Prem and Heer both turned a bright shade of red again.
Once they entered the kitchen, they saw Daljeet Chachi's head stuck in a fridge. Hearing them come in, she looked up and got shocked to see them.
"Aye rabba, meri Heeriye! Fari! Prem! What are you guys doing??" Edited by Sonalicious - 15 years ago
