Thanks everyone for your encouragements!🤗
Today I wanted to do something different. We were all floored by last Thursday's episode where Prem protects Heer with the song O re Piya in the background. I really wanted to try do their thoughts but given the scene it was quite difficult. So I've done a mixture of thoughts and prose.
Heer's Point of View(POV)
How did I end up in this mess? Dressed in these bridal clothes, how did everything turn out so badly? Why did I have to help that girl? But then she was so pained.
Pain. A feeling that I couldn't ignore even if I wished to. Her eyes were filled with pain and fear. Fear of losing her chance to have her share of joy with the one she loved. Somehow I felt connected to her in that moment... I would have wanted help if I was in love. Ma always said that God has made us in jodis. That wherever we are, there is someone who with his imperfections is perfect for us. That girl had found her soulmate. Yes.. that's why I helped her. By helping her, I was making Ma's wish come true.
But what was I to do now? These people surrounded me, their questioning glances piercing through me while searching for answers which I didn't have. Their anger ambushed me and I found my courage flood away.
I stepped backwards and I don't even know why. It seeemed the most logical thing to do. As much as I tried, my mouth opened but no words could come out to save myself. I was trapped... At least I was until someone grabbed my wrist and dragged me with him in the room behind me.
Who could it be? Whoever it was, I was strangely safe with my hand locked with his. We hid behind a pillar and I finally looked at him. It was the one I had tried so much to avoid. Prem.
Prem's POV
Lost. That was the word. I am lost. Where? I have absolutely no idea. What is happening to me? How did she manage to make me feel like this?
I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard exclamations from our reception hall. I had carefully organised everything for the wedding and I rushed to see what was happening. Everyone was surrounding the bride and questioning her quite violently. I was briefly confused as to why people would be ruining her day when I saw her. It was her. The one who had been haunting me for days. But here she was gathered among people who clearly had no wish of letting her go. Her fear reached me in strong waves. I don't what went through my mind except that I just wanted to draw her pain away. I rushed to the party avoiding everyone until I reached the office where she was standing. I was so close and I grabbed her hand and took her with me in the room. It was locked so no one could come in. But I was not satisfied so I hid us behind a pillar. In all that mayhem I didn't really have time to look at her. And when she finally met my gaze, I knew that I was again lost.
The Oh re Piya scene
' No, I yearn upward and touch you close. Then, I stand away, I kiss your cheek. Catching your soul's warmth, I pluck the rose and love it more than can say. Then the good minute goes and I stand away. '
-Robert Browning

It's said that when soulmates are together, the rest of the world fades away. Chaos is a distant past and the only real truth is the link between the two.

At that moment, Prem and Heer were lost in the simplicity of the instant. Their hands were still joined together and though none would admit it, they had no intention of letting go.

Heer could not understand what was happening to her. Here she was with the one she was to marry. After all that happened she had forgotten the hope she had kept in her heart of meeting him at least once. And now, when everyone was against her it was Prem who stood by her side. His presence, his eyes, the emotion in them. She kept staring at the man in front of her. He barely knew her and yet he was looking at her as if she was his very soul. Tears streamed along her cheeks as his emotions touched her.

She's so beautiful, Prem kept thinking. So beautiful. The dupatta covering her head dropped on her forehead; the red colour making her beauty glow more strongly than ever. It was surely his fate that he had to see her today as a bride... his bride? It couldn't have been a coincidence. What was it that drew him to her? Sometimes he thought that it was the pain in her eyes, then maybe her shyness... or rather the simplicity of their relationship.
He stared at her and when he realised she was trying to explain herself he just knew that he didn't need them. He trusted her... that was all that he needed to know. The innocent creature in front of him was unable to hurt someone. She was probably trying to help someone even if it was a crazy way of doing it. So he stopped her. His hand covered her rosy lips.

Heer remained stunned when he stopped her from giving justifications. Her heart skipped a beat. Why did he have to trust her that much?

Someone well said that words are not necessary when soulmates are together. In those beautiful moments, Prem and Heer understood each other.
Lost... indeed they were.
There you go... It's the first time I'm doing a mix like that and with pictures on top of that. I'm not too convinced myself but I posted it anyways😆 What did you think of it?
Also a big thanks to Nandini for the pictures!😊
