PART THIRTEEN
same night, aastha's cell rang...
she had been thinking of her prince charming who gave her the chain she was holding now and was elated to see his name on her fone...
she picked it up happily...: shubh!!!
shubh: lagta hai meri hi call ka intezaar tha...
aastha: tume kaise pata chala
shubh: pata chala... ab bataao... heer aur prem apne suhaag raat mana rahe honge...
aastha smiled: haan....
shubh: humare suhaag raat ka kya???
aastha: sab ko bataake thodi na shaadi ki thi... so no suhaag raat
shubh: ladkiya kitni bore karti hai.. main romantic ban ne ki koshish kar raha tha aur tum...
he tried to act as if he was angry... aastha giggled...
aastha: achcha baba... sorry...
shubh: theek hai theek hai... main aa jau???
aastha: kaha???
shubh: tumare kamre me
aastha was horrified: pagal ho gaye ho kya??? nahi
shubh: apne pati se na kahogi???
aastha: shut up... waise bhi tum aa nahi paoge... door locked hai aur main use kholne waali nahi hoon
shubh: achcha??? main tumare kamre me khuske dikhaau???
aastha: nahi khus paaoge
shubh: dikhadu kya???
aastha: okay dikha do
shubh: agar main khus gaya toh muje kya milenge???
aastha: ek thapad aur?
shubh: no thank you... this time i want my kiss back... that too on the lips...
aastha was horrified: par par...
shubh: see you darling...
and he cut the call. she looked att the cell for sometime then blushed. she put out the lights, doublechecked the door and laid herself on the bed. the cool wind soothed her and she started dozing...
suddenly she heard a noise and sat up startled. she saw a ladder head near the balcony. she walked upto it to see a couple of hands ccoming up and up. she knew whom to they belonged, so she watched with folded arms. slowly shubh's head became visible. he was having a long stemmed rose in his mouth. he offered it to her. she took it with a serious expression.
he got into the balcony and wlked into the room... she followed him.
shubh: main aa gaya hoon meri juliet... ab jaldi se mera kiss do... muje jaana hai
aastha: itni jaldi... thodi der aur ruk jaao na
shubh looked at her suspiciously for her flirtyness...
shubh: nahi... muje jaana hai...
aastha pouted: apni biwi ko chodke jaaoge...???
shubh's mouth opened and he gaped at her... she took him by the arm and made him sit on a chair... they talked for a while... then seeing aastha getting drowsy, shubh took her to the bed and laid her. as he turned to leave she caught him and made him sleep next to her. she hugged him all through out the night and both slept off...
----------------------------
NEXT MORNING...
meher was knocking on prem's room.
"didi... chalo utho..."
heer and prem jumped awake. they were both entangled in their last night clothes and blanket bedsheet and also pillow covers. they looked at each other and began to smile but jumped again wen meher restarted her knocking...
they checked the time, it was almost 8.
heer called out, "meher tum chalo... main tayyar hoke aati hoon"
meher giggled, "breakfast aadhe ghante me hai...dono aa jana"
heer: okay
she covered herslef with a bedsheet and ran to the bathroom. she had a quick shower and came out in a red salwar to see prem on top of the heap of clothes still sleeping. she went to the mirror and put sindoor and smiled at herself.
she moved to call prem...: prem utho
she shook him but he made an angry noise...
prem: sone do na?? kal raat sone nahi di...
heer: shut up... jaake naha lo na... breakfast ke liye jaana hai
prem: muje sona hai
heer: theek hai so jaao... me jaa rahi hoon...
she got up to leave but he caught her and pulled her back onto the bed. he hugged her from behind.
prem sang
abhi na jaao chod kar
abhi ye dil bhara nahi..
heer giggled: bahut pyaar aa raha hai subah subah
prem: kal jo tumne itna pyaar diya... haaayeee....
heer blushed. suddenly there was a knock again...
meher: didi aap aa rahe hai ki nahi... maa bula rahi hai...
heer: aa rahi hoon...
she got upto leave but prem pulled her back again. she struggled but he was laughing and not letting go... meher heard the scuffle and went away giggling.
heer at last freed herself and ran leaving a smiling prem.
------------------------
they got down to breakfast table avoiding looks from the others. the whole lot left for mumbai the next day...
for almost a week, prem took leave and stayed with his wife romancing. then prem got back to work with all permission from heer and much grumlings from preet and shubh. according to them, office shouldnt be went to... heer had to complete her music course too. so they decided their honeymoon wil be after her course gets over and by that time, prem would teach preet the work and would be able to leave the office on a long holiday.
prem and heer got out for short holidays on weekends... they went for long drives like they did on their first date... dinners... shopping... a perfect couple.
aastha and shubh were so much in love... it seemed that aastha had finally gotten shubh to fall in love... but there were times too when he simply used to flirt with every single girl he met. but of course when aastha wasnt around.
the elders were planning aastha and shubh's wedding as they looked so much in love with each other. but thought, preet must be married off too. so they were looking for a perfect girl who could make preet settle too so both the marriages could be done together. meher according to them was still small for marriage... teji and gayatri secretly gave heer the duty to find her 'devrani'
-----------------------------
SIX MONTHS LATER PREMEER MARRIAGE
prem, heer, aastha, shubh, meher and preet were sitting together and talking one evening. preet got onto the end of teasing heer and prem that heer decided to give him a shock treatment.
heer: preet tume pata hai shaadi ke baad tumare maa ne muje kya kaam sompa hai???
preet: nahi toh
heer: apni devrani dhoondne ka...
preet's mouth opened wide as he stared at heer in horror. the others started laughing at his expression. preet looked at meher impulsively. he wasnt sure if he had a spark for her... but wasnt about to ask her yet. but the marriage thing freaked him. but he held his composure and grinned.
preet: achchi kudi dhoondke degi na???
heer: of course... bas tum dekhte hi reh jaaoge... waise mere mann me ek ladki hai tumare liye... bilkul soni kudi...
preet started to show interest but heer dint tell him anything about the girl.
