PART TWENTY THREEIN PREM-HEER'S BEDROOM...
prem wasnt there. heer was searching her wardrobe for an outfit to wear for the party...
heer: kaunsi pehenlu??? ye pink waali ya orange waali???
just then she heard the door close behind her. thinking it was prem coming back from downstairs, she turned asking, "achcha hua prem tum aa gaye... bataao na kaunsa pehenlu???"
but she couldnt see anyone... all she could see is a neatly giftwrapped box on the bed. she went upto it and took it in her hands. she opened it with a cute smile on her face. she opened to see a very pretty light pink ball dress... it had little white stones worked all over it that looked like dew drops over the dress... it was very soft and was neckless...

"pasand aaya???"
prem was standing by the door...
heer: bahut!!! prem... ye bahut achchi dress hai...
prem: tumse achchi nahi ho sakti...
heer: oh prem.. thanks a lot...
prem: aur jo tumne mujhe diya hai heer... main uske liye tumhe kaise thanks kahu??? tumne meri zindagi sawari hai... meri zindagi me itni saari khushiya dhi hai...
heer came upto him and took his hands... she kissed them and they hugged for a while... they broke apart after a few heavenly minutes...
heer: ab tum jaao... mujhe dress karne do...
prem: nahi...
heer: nahi??? jaao na...
prem: bilkul nahi... main yahi baitunga... aur tum mere pasand ke dress pehente hue dekhoonga...
he walked upto their bed and sat there... heer looked at his naughtiness... she closed the door behind them... then took the dress and stood in front of him...
prem: ah jaldi karo...
heer stooped down to him and pinched his cheek...
heer: khudh ek baap ban ne waale ho aur dekho iraada kya hai... din ba din naughty hote jaa rahe ho
prem caught heer by the waist and pulled her together that she fell on top of him onto the bed...
prem: tumare saath naughty nahi ho jaau toh kiske saath ho jaau???
heer tried to free herself but prem held her tightly...
heer: prem... chodo naa...
prem: aaj main tumhe nahi chodne waala... pata hai tum ye yellow salwar me kitni sexy lag rahi ho???
heer: achcha???
but prem dint reply... his hands were already on the places that made heer go frenzy...
-----------------------------
"aastha... ruk jaao... please"
aastha: mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni shubh...
she walked away from him and upstairs... shubh following her... he ran and caught her hand as she opened the door of her bedroom... he took her inside and locked the door...
aastha: shubh ye tum kya battamizi kar rahe ho??? maine kaha na mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni...
shubh: kyu nahi karni...???
he looked right into her eyes... she looked back at him... she could feel heat from his body warm her up... she knew he wasnt well... his fever seemed to be increasing... she felt herself warm up towards him...
aastha: tum bas chodo mujhe... main tumse bahut naraaz hoon...
shubh: kyu aastha kyu???
aastha: tum mujhse jhoot bolke us simone se milne chale gaye the... tumhe mujhse zyaada us simone ki fikr thi ki woh tumhe bulaayi aur tum chale gaye...
shubh: kya tum iss baat se mujhse nafrat karte ho???
aastha was shocked... she looked into his eyes.. the passion burning in his eyes made her fear... she tried pulling back... but he hold onto her tightly...
shubh: jawab do mujhe...
aastha: shubh...
shubh: kya tum mujhe meri is choti si galti ke liye mujhe itni badi saza doge??? tum mujhse khafa ho jaau toh meri saasein ruk jaayegi aastha... shayad tumne abhi tak mere pyaar ko samjha hi nahi...
aastha just stared at those eyes which started watering after her told her that... he just left her hands... so forcefully that aastha felt herself spin on spot... he almost stomped out of the room but aastha stopped him...
aastha: ruk jaao shubh...
shubh just stood there looking up... he was angry and sad that his love had misunderstood him...
aastha: mujhko dekho shubh...
she took his hands as he lowered his gaze to her face...
aastha: mujhe maaf karo shubh... tumhe is tarah dekhke main sambhal nahi paayi... darr gayi thi ki main tumhe kahi kho na jaau...
shubh: main tumare hoon aastha... bas tumhari...
they hugged too...
---------------------------
meher was running around the hall where the party was to be conducted doing the last touches...
preet was running behind her with balloons...
meher: preet... yaha lagaao na do balloons...
preet took out 2 but meher,
meher: nahi nahi... woh red waali...
preet: theek hai theek hai... itni hyper kyu ho rahi ho???
meher: tumhe pata hai party do ghanto me hai... aur hume is party bahut shaandaar banani hai...
preet: haan baba... do ghanto me hai... do minute me nahi...
meher: pata hai... par ye balloons... ye flowers bhi toh lagane hai... woh wahan... aur yahan...
she was turning her head in all directions... preet was getting so irritated... he took up this helping job in order to get closer to meher a bit... but she wasnt letting him 2 feet nearer to her... and was making him do a lot of work... something he had evaded all throughout his life...
preet: meher meher...
meher: aur ye gulaab us table pe...
preet: MEHER!!!!!
meher looked at him shocked: kya hua???
preet caught her by her waist and pulled her closer... the split second hesitation and the minute of her silence was enough for her... in a second, he succeeded in his long time mission and pressed his lips against hers...
first meher's eyes widened but slowly they closed... they enjoyed that kiss for it was the first in their life... a moment of true love... after wat seemed like a long moment, they broke apart... the usualy deadly talkative meher was silent with a cute smile on her face...
preet looked tired out: God at last!!!
meher: huh???
preet: kitni der ho gayi teri peecha karte hue... woh bhi is kiss ke liye..
meher: shut up aur phool lagalo...
but she still had that cute smile on her face... even preet was smiling as meher bossed him around all over again but this time triumphantly...
--------------------------

preet: PB... ab time ho gaya...
prem: okay...
shubh: main announce karta hoon...
shubh: attention... ab aap log apne dil dhaam lijiye aur pyaar ke do lamhe dekh lijiye...
the lights dimmed and the orchestra worked up with prem amongst them... heer smiled from within...

after the party ended, all left for their own rooms... shubh and aastha were the last to leave... aastha knew shubh wasnt well, but yet he dint show out his illness. finally, they walked upstairs together...
aastha: main tume tumare kamre tak chod deti hoon...
shubh nodded... but as they reached his room, he almost collapsed...
aastha: shubh!!! kya hua???
shubh was almost knocked out... aastha caught him befor he fell and heaved him inside to his bed...
she went to the bathroom and wetted her handkerchief n put on his forehead.... she stayed beside his bed throughout the night... shubh was very unconscious all night... aastha slept with her head on side of his bed after a long time...
early next morning, when shubh woke up he was surprised to find a hanky on his head. but wen he turned to look around, he saw aastha wid her head on the bed. he looked at her innocent face with a smile... then he shook her...
shubh(in a stern voice): aastha uth jaao... tum ek ghair mard ke kamre me kya kar rahi ho???
aastha woke with a startle...
aastha: woh main... sorry...
then she became fully conscious as shubh started laughing... she heaved a sigh... she reached up and touched his head... he was fine...
aastha: tumari tabiyat??
shubh: fit and fine... thank you...
she hit shubh on the stomach...
shubh: aastha ye tum...
aastha: kisi ghair mard ke kamre me kya kar rahi hoon haa???? teri toh main...
there took place a little pillow fight in which aastha won... they fell onto the bed laughing and embraced...
