Hello, nice writing. Can you please put me on your PM list. Thank you.

Chapter 6:

As he watched her retreating back, Prem softly mumbled his response to her questions, "Because I want to always see you happy. Because your mood affects how I feel. Because your smile always brings a smile to my face. Because you meant the world to me. Because I love you Miss Heer Maan. I love you" he ended softly, a smile appearing on his face, as realization dawned upon him of his true feelings.

Even if she hated him, he would do anything and everything he could to bring her back. To bring his old Heer back. To make her love him just as much as he loved her.

Meher was sitting in the living room, watching some TV, when she heard her doorbell ringing. Wondering who it could possibly be, she began to make her way to the front door when she heard her sister scream out "Meher! Tell him I'm not here, ok?"

"Tell who you're not here?" she asked, stopping right in her tracks.

"My Boss. He's at the door" came the muffled reply from Heer from upstairs.

"Wait. How do you know?" questioned Meher, getting annoyed with the incessant ringing of the doorbell.

"Just shut up and tell him I'm not here"

"Uff fine. No need for the attitude" she snorted, before making her way towards the front door, and opening it.

Sure enough, she saw a man standing in front of her, holding a bouquet of white lilies in his hands, dressed to perfection, a tip-top business suit, a five o'clock shadow present on his face, and most importantly, a twinkle in his eyes and a smile on his lips.

"Hi, um this is Heer's house right?" he questioned, fumbling around slightly.

Meher looked at him with curiousity, specifically eyeing the bouquet that he was holding on to. "Yes. Yes this is her house. And I'm her sister. Can I help you with anything?"

Running his hands through his hair, he heaved a sigh of relief, Phew, at least he got her address right. Now, on to the real challenge.

"I...I'm Prem Juneja, Heer works as my secretary. I was wondering if I could talk to her" he said nervously.

"OHH! So you're THE Prem Juneja, her cute boss!" winked Meher, laughing at how nervous the poor man looked.

"C..Cute boss?"

"Yeahh. She was telling me how cute and handsome you were, but shh don't tell her I told you anything!"

Prem just quirked his eyebrow in response, Heer was telling her sister how good looking she thought he was! That must be a good sign in some way.

"Haha. I don't know about that, but could I speak to her please?" he questioned, diverting the topic.

"Ohhh. Sorry! She's not home right now. But I'll definitely tell her you stopped by!" Meher exlaimed.

"Really? She's not home yet? But she left the office about two hours ago! Is everything alright?" Prem questioned anxiously, as his worry for her started growing.

"Mr. Juneja, it's ok! Nothing happened to Di! She's visiting a friend!" said Meher, fumbling to come up with quick enough excuses for his questions. "But I'll talk to you later," she continued, "I..I have to go. It was nice meeting you."

And with those words, Meher slammed the door shut in his face. And he stared at the closed door in front of him, wondering how crazy Heer's sister was, before he realized that the lilies that he had gotten were still in his hand.

Oops.

****

The minute she shut the door, Meher ran back inside to find Heer standing nearby, apparently eavesdropping on her conversation with Prem. Putting her hands on her hips, Meher turned to her with a questioning look on her face, "So Di. Care to tell me why you didn't want to see him?"

Heer looked away and plopped down on the sofa, grabbing the remote as she distractedly flipped through the channels. "Because I didn't want to see him."

"And why is that?"

"None of your business" was the curt reply, before Heer stood up and walked out of the house.

The minute she stepped out of the door though, she saw Prem standing there, leaning against his car, white lilies in his hand, and she froze in place.

He was still here!

Cautiously, she made her way forward and looked to see a questioning look on Prem's face, "Why did you not come to the door before?"

"I...um....It's just that...." she fumbled, groping for a decent excuse.

"Never mind all that" he said as he saw her all confused and speechless, and grabbing her hand, he pulled her towards him, sliding his other arm around her waist, as she struggled to get out of his grasp. "Si.Siir....what are you doing?" she questioned, a look of panic setting in her eyes.

Brushing a stray strand of hair aside, Prem looked down into her eyes, his voice low and husky, as he responded "Heer...stop struggling...I'm not going to hurt you. I...I just need to talk to you..."

And Heer almost became lost in his eyes. Almost. What was she doing with him? Heer, you have to get away! And immediately, she placed her hands on his chest, pushing him away with all of her strength.

She stepped back from him quickly, and grabbing the white lilies out of his hand, she threw them to the ground, and purposefully stepped on them. "Look here Mr. Juneja, there's no reason for you to follow me around, no reason for you to come to my house. If you need to discuss anything, you can call me. There is something called a phone in today's day and age. I don't need to associate with people like YOU outside of the professional realm." Her eyes firing darts at him, she turned around with a huff, and reentered her house, slamming the door shut.

Prem stood speechless. What had gotten into her? And what did she mean by not associating with people like him? She herself had told her sister that he was cute, so what's the problem? What was wrong with him? He was Prem Juneja, for heaven's sake!

He would have to get to the bottom of this.....but how?
