Chapter 45
Fari stormed through Heer's front door," Aaye Rabba! Only 2 days Heer!
And you haven't tried on your outfits! How many things can I do at the same time?"
Heer didn't say a word. It was better to let Fari scream. It's what she did best, and it produced the best results.
"I got this Ralph Lauren suit for Prem at a ridiculously good price!" Fari smiled triumphantly.
"Oh? So you didn't get one made at Saville Row for your PJ?" Heer raised an eyebrow.
"How to do that when you are romancing him 24/7 and won't let him go?"
"Hmmph! I am romancing HIM?"
"ok baba! HE's romancing YOU! Thik hai? What's the difference? End result is the same na!"
"Why did you bring it here?"
"Bec'." Fari began but Heer stopped her, "Right, right'because he's here? He's never here!"
"You mean? Oooooooooooooo! You go to his place?" Fari looked impressed. "So what goes on there?"
Heer grabbed the suit from Fari, "Give me that! I'll see that he gets it and tries it on."
"There's no time! He needs to try it on NOW! I'll call him and tell him to come over."
Prem was in a meeting when Vandy buzzed, "I'm sorry sir, but there's a call you need to take." Vandy didn't sound pleased, which meant Fari was on hold. Prem excused himself and took the call, said he'd try to get there in 2 hours.
Finally he knocked on Heer's door and was pulled in by Fari before he could say hi. Prem looked questioningly at Heer, who beckoned him to her bedroom.
Fari laughed, "Oi! What's wrong? All your dreams are coming true go to Heer's room!"
Prem didn't know whether to smile but went obediently to Heer. "It's the suit. You need to try it on."
"Oh. Ok" Prem started removing his jacket and loosening his tie and Fari whistled a tuneless song and came over to get the Ralph Lauren out of its garment bag.
Fari took charge while Heer was used as a coat hanger. "Ok, stand still PJ and lift your arms while I tie this cummerbund. Fari got it round his midsection , stood back to have a look, adjusted a bit more and seemed happy. "Good! Now you need to try on the pants, coz if that doesn't fit perfectly then I need to change it."
Heer went slightly pale and stared at Fari who took the rest of the clothes off Heer and led her out of the room. "Heeriye, are you ok?" "Fine!" came the snap back.
Prem came out to show them. "Arrey wah! Perfect fit! Look Heer! Perfect figure!"
Fari went over and turned Prem round, looked left and right, dusted off some fluff and stood back to admire.
Heer watched and admired too, except she wasn't going to let Fari see it.
Finally the jacket and needless to say, it fit Prem well.
"All done! Thanks PJ. You can go back to work now."
Fari was in full mausi-mode today and Heer didn't say a word, not even when Prem said bye.
"What's wrong with you? No hi no bye? Poor bloke is gonna think there's some major problem!"
Heer smiled and let Fari lecture and scold to her heart's content.
Finally she left and Heer called Prem. "She's gone."
Prem was up the stairs in a flash and strode in through the open door.
Heer started to speak, "You looked ver....." But that was all he let her get out.
That's right folks! It's party time for Prem and Heer. In case you're interested, listening to Aaja Soniye (Mujhse Shaadi Karogi) will put you in the mood they are in right now. 😉
