Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome! I am just so happy *-*
Here comes the first chapter...
Chapter 1
Seeing the big smile on Preet's face, Meher smiled nervously as she could not understand how to react...Preet came running to her screaming 'Meher' in order to hug her but stopped just before hugging. He made an awkward guilt face and forwarded his hand for a handshake...Meher smiled seeing the expression on Preet's face and put her hand in his one for a handshake...
Preet: Umm, I am sorry. I hope you did not mind. Actually brought up in Canada, na? I am bit duffer about Indian culture and traditions, you know? *giving an awkward smile*
Meher laughed a bit seeing Preet's condition...
Meher: Preet, I did not mind...I can understand. Hugging must be very normal in Canada, mustn't it? *smiling face*
Preet: Erm, yeah. *still an awkward face*
Meher: *Laughing out loud* Oho, don't stress yourself too much...It is just all fine...Moreover, we are besties of childhood na?
Preet became too much happy when Meher talked about being besties of childhood...He gave his identical smirk again...
Preet: So you remember it? *Surprised and happy*
Meher: Umm..*a bit sorry face* Not really! Actually, I don't remember anything...It was heer didi, who told me about you waiting for me and all so I came to know about it...But I really appriciate that you remember it till now...We were just 7 when you all left...
Preet: Aaa Meher, to be honest, I don't remember anything as well too..*making a baby face* Actually from childhood Maa, Kul di and PB always used to talk about you...And they also had photos of us, so in that way you were always in my memory...
Meher: Haha Preet. Not a fact. By the way, who is PB? *confused face*
Preet: Oh haha, PB is Prem Bhaiya...
Meher: Oh okay okay! You want to go the fields? I mean you did not go with them...
Preet: No, no..I have been roaming around the fields for about 45 minutes waiting for the other car to reach Ambala before coming to your house, so not anymore needed...
Meher: Ah, okay then...*Not to sure what to say more*
Preet: *Thinking a bit what to say* Oh yeah, come on I forgot, let me show you the photos of us Meher...
Preet started showing Meher the photos of their childhood where they were having some besutiful moments together...
Preet: By the way, what are you doing nowadays Meher? 12th done na?
Meher: *Seeing the photos with a very delightful face* Yeah, your also right?
Preet: Yes, so applied for any university?
Meher: Hmm, actually applied for a foreign scolarship..Only if I get the full scolarship I can afford it...
Preet: Oh wow! You will get it don't worry. I did too apply for a foreign university...Which country you did?
Meher: You did too?! *Surprised* You already live in Canada...
Preet: Yeah, but I want to do my graduation from somewhere else...Hey, which country tell na?
Meher: Oh yeah, I forgot sorry...I applied ...
Before Meher could complete the sentence, Kulraaj, Herman and Veera came into the room...Kulraaj and Veera hugged Meher from behind together...
Kulraaj: Meheeer! *screaming* You have grown up so much kiddo...
Preet: Oh come on di! I have grown up so she will too right?...
Herman: Yeah yeah, you have just grown up physically, mentally still 2...
Veera: So true Herman bhaiya...
Meher laughed out loud hearing all these...Preet made faces to everyone to which everyone laughed out together...
Preet: Yeah, laugh laugh...*Disgusted face*
Veera: Hahahaha, let it be Preet bhaiya...Meher di, I have heard a lot about you and Heer bhabi...So happy that met you, afterall I was just 5 when we left...
Meher: Aww, my little sissy *Hugging Veera* We will have fun together...
Kulraaj: *Hugging them together* Yes and mee too...
Preet: Wow, all the women together...We are none here anymore Herman Bhaiya...
Herman: Seems like that Preet...By the way, hi Meher! I am Herman...*gives his hand for handshake*
Meher: *Shaking hand* Hi I know! Really happy all of you are here...*smiling*
Veera: Oh, we forgot why we came up here, everyone is waiting downstairs for us...The wedding date is about to be fixed up...
Meher: Oh wow! I am just so excited...
Kulraaj: So what are we waiting for? Lets go kids...
Preet: Uff, we are not anymore kids Kul di...You have 3 kids, remember? Whom we have left in Ludhiana with Kiran jeeju as the kids were too tired...
Kulraaj: *Pulling Preet's ear* Boy, so what? You all will always be the kids to me...
Everyone came downstairs and Meher greeted Lalit and Gayatri...She side hugged Prem screaming 'Jeeju' in happiness. Then everyone kept quite, waiting impatiently for the Panditji to fix up a date...
Finally the date was fixed, the wedding date was exactly after two weeks. So basically just after one week, the various pre wedding functions would start...They had one week to manage everything...They all had sweets on this good news...Before leaving, the kids wanted to have a get together of them before starting all the rushes of the wedding ceremony...
Kulraaj: Heer and Meher should join us in it, that is a must...
Preet: Yes, so Heer bhabi and Meher come to our house for a stayover tomorrow?
Teji: No, son..I am sorry but that won't be possible...
Preet: Why not chachi? I myself will come from Ludhiana and pick them up, please please?
Teji: Umm...Preet, actually...Umm...
Gayatri: *Understading the dilemma of Teji* Preet, don't be stubborn...Before marriage, heer can't come to our house...That is kind of a custom here...
Preet: *Biting his tongue* Oops, sorry chachi...Not a fact, we can find some solution, what say Kul di?
Balraaj: If you kids don't have any problem, you can have the stayover at our place...If you are comfortable here, we have a such tiny house...
Herman: Don't say such things chachu, we will be more than comfortable here...
Preet: Yes, oviously...
Meher: Wow, that will be great! Our cousin, Maya is also coming tomorrow from Delhi with Maanjeet chachu and Pammi chachi...
Lalit: So, all set now...I will send the kids, tomorrow evening then...
They all bid goodbyes and left for their cars, while Prem and Preet were the last ones to leave...Prem waved a bye to Heer before leaving and gave a shy smile, to which Heer just smiled blushing and then looked down...Preet noticing that, gave a slight push on Prem's shoulder by his one...Meher held Heer's both shoulders from behind and smiled at Preet and Prem before the two brothers left finally...
