Chapter 26
Fari and Heer thanked the Junejas and went home. Fari than texted Prem to make sure he remembered their date on Monday. Prem replied back in a minute.
As they started to make dinner, Fari told Heeriye all about her dream.
"So than, he licked your fingers." Heer turned red for the nth time.
"Seriously, Fari! Why don't you focus on yourself and Biru??"
"Because I have more fun focusing on you. Anyways, Biru is coming on Friday along with Mercedes and maybe even Sona. And I have promised myself, you would be engaged to PJ before Biru arrives!"
"What?? Have you lost your mind???" This Fari bhi na. Heer shook her head.
After they ate dinner, they both got ready for the next day. Fari looked around in Heer's closet for something nice for Heer to wear while Heer loaded the dishwasher.
"Oh meri Heeriye! Don't you have a nice little black dress?" Fari called from Heer's room.
"No I don't..why do you need one? Don't you have like 94?" Heer called back.
"I do but they are all in New York and Biru is only going to bring them on Friday." Fari shouted.
"Umm maybe I should call Mercedes."
The phone rang twice before Mercedes picked up.
"Oye! Where can I find a nice little black dress in London?" "How would I know? I haven't had a chance to explore London yet. Why don't you call Sona?"
So that's what Fari did.
"Sissy! Where can I find a nice black dress in London?"
"Why do you need a black dress? Don't you have like 94?"
"I do but it's not for me! It's for Heeriye!"
"Why does Heer need a black dress? Does she even wear dresses?"
"I'll tell you once you get here....but first answer me na!"
"Umm try Oxford Street or Bond Street....umm even Harrods. If you are looking for something vintage or funky, try Camden Market."
"Okie thanks Sissy!" Fari hanged up just as Heer entered the room.
"Who were you talking to?"
"Oh Sona! Anyways, do you have nice heels?" Fari said as she went back into Heer's closet.
"Fari you know I don't wear heels....can you please tell me what you are doing? Why do you need all this?"
"You'll see soon!" Fari said with a wink.
Heer just rolled her eyes and decided to go to bed. She will a long day tomorrow and she was dead tired.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next day, as Heer left for rehearsals, Fari went all around London looking for a nice outfit and shoes for Heer to wear on her date. After hours of searching, she finally zeroed on a nice classic bandage black dress by Herve Ledger from Harrods and nice black heels by Christian Louboutins. She decided Heer can wear her Tiffany's earrings.
Dead excited, she made her way to West End just before the show started. She took her usual seat and looked for Prem, who once again was seated in his balcony seats. Prem saw Fari and waved at her and called her to him. Fari went and joined him in his balcony seats and watched him watch Heeriye on stage with a goofy loofy smile on his face. Fari could have almost cried.
Right before the show ended, Fari decided she should go meet Heer backstage and dress her up for her date.
"Ok PJ, let me go see Heeriye and get her to you in let's say half an hour? Meet us at the backdoor?"
"Oh you are coming too?" Prem tried to not show his disappointment.
"No silly! Why would I come! But Heeriye needs help getting ready na??" She said as she rushed backstage.
+++++++++
"You have to be bloody kidding me! Fari I am not wearing a dress that costs more than my whole month's salary! What's wrong with the clothes I am wearing now??" Fari rolled her eyes. Heer was dressed in a pair of old jeans and a loose t-shirt from a Madonna concert from 8 years ago.
"Whatever! I paid for it already, so you must wear it! Go on get ready! I don't have all night. I already asked, we can get ready in the makeup room. We need to do your hair too!"
"Fari ki bachi, I'll kill you!"
"You may do that after your date!"
Fari finally forced Heer into the new dress and shoes. She curled Heer's long locks and put eyeliner and lipstick on her. Heer was a classic beauty and didn't need much makeup.
Finally Heer was ready and Fari took a look.
"Oh my God, Heeriye! I don't think Prem is going to let you come home tonight!" she said as she sobbed.
"Oh meri Heeriye!" Fari hugged Heer as Heer rolled her eyes again. Why does she have to be so over-dramatic?
Finally Fari and Heer made their way to meet Prem. As Prem saw Heer, his eyes widened up.
"Oh. Wow. Oh....wow....WOW!" he said as Heer blushed.
"Ok Mr. Juneja, take care of my Heeriye and I expect her to be home at a decent hour!" Fari winked at him as she got into a taxi and went off.
"So shall we go?" Prem held his hand out to Heer.
