Part - 5
Megher looked at Heer with concern 'still you have time Heer'. Heer confidently 'I'm happy about my decision.' Megher kept her hand on Heer' shoulder 'along with Preet I'll be with you when you needed.' Heer closed her eyes and opened 'thanks.'
Lalit and Gaya3 stared at Heer for a while. Gaya3 whispered 'I got a loving bahu.' Lalit thought 'I got a chance to help my friend. Ballu, be with your daughter and make my son a sincere husband to Heer.'
Prem didn't give any attention to Heer who came and sat near him. Heer looked at Prem who is in all smile. Entire marriage ritual seems to be a drama to Prem. Like a kid he participated in his marriage.
After many ceremonies Heer entered the juneja mansion pushing rice pot and printing her new life in mansion. Prem in all smile whispered to Preet 'I'm happy'Preet and Megher exchanged sad smile.
Gaya3 led Heer to Prem room. She gave some advises but nothing went into Heer ears. She just shook her head in acceptance without understanding anything. She went outside leaving Heer alone. Heer just stared at the decorated bed when Prem entered. Her mind is blank. He closed the door behind. Heer looked up to see Prem. Prem clearly 'Heer, thanks for accepting.'
Heer 'hope you will stick on to your contract.'
Prem 'yes I'll.' He went straight to closet and pulled out his kurta and went to washroom to change. Heer didn't feel like sleeping.
He came out and went to bed to take up a pillow. Heer feared that he is coming to her. He smiled 'don't worry. I won't touch you.' He took the pillow and moved towards the couch. Heer felt relieved. Prem sat in the couch 'Heer, we have to go to the doctor t'row. First, fix appointment for your mother's surgery.'
Heer is happy that Prem didn't forget his promise. she nodded. He continued 'then we have to go to the doctor to discuss about having child.' She agreed. Heer thought 'he didn't accept me as his wife at all that is why he is referring your mother not as Ma.' She felt that is nice 'I wont' get any attachment to him.'
Heer got up form the bed 'you sleep in the bed. I'll sleep in the couch.' Prem is happy that he got his place. He ran to bed the second he heard the word from her mouth. He was little bit upset about sleeping in uncomfortable couch. She went to change. He slept as soon as he hit the bed. She changed and layed in the couch. she slept thinking that her mother will be alright soon.
Next morning, Prem woke up by the sweet light coming through the window. He sat on the bed stretching his hands. He looked around the room. Heer is not seen anywhere. Soon he heard washroom door opening. She came wearing red saree. He stared at her face. Her face fresh and shined in the morning light. Her wet hair made her more beautiful. He is staring at her movement without his own knowledge. He felt his body loosening and aching to touch her. She moved to the dresser. Wiped her hair then she sat in front of the mirror and wore her matching jewels. Then she wore her mangalsutra and filled her maang.
