Part 1
The night was still young, Meher sat on the terrace, remember Teji and she shed a tear..Heer was downstairs making food. Prem had gone out to meet Preet for some work. Heer called out for Meher, not hearing any answer, she went from room to room and then went up the stairs to the terrace, it had started to drizzle lightly..as she came up the terrace door, she saw Meher sitting and gently sobbing. She went behind her and held her shoulder and gave her a hug. Meher turned, slightly surprised and put her head on Heers head.
"Di, why did this happen to us? Why did Ma, Babuji leave us?"Meher tearfully asked.
"Meher, Ma, Babuji havent left us, they are always there with us, looking out for us. Its only because of them, that today I didnt get into trouble..Don't ever think they left us..they are always with us" Heer reassured her.
Meher sobbingly nodded and hugged Heer tighter.
Suddenly there was severe lighting and thunderstorms...Heer and Meher scrambled out of the terrace downstairs..Meher ran to close the windows..while Heer went to get the door..as she was about to close it, Prem held it from closing from outside..He was more than drenched by then..water dripping down his head to toe..Heer stopped and turned to look..and Prem held her hand from closing the door..They kept looking at each other...Prem kept getting wet..Heer did not even realize it...
Lagi aaj sawan ki phir woh jadhi hai
wohi aag seene mein phir jal padhi hai
lagi aaj sawan ki phir woh jadhi hai
Kuch aise hi din teh woh jab hum miley teh
chaman mein nahin phool dil mein khiley teh
wohi toh hai mausam magar ruth nahin woh
mere sath barsat bhi roh padhi hai
lagi aaj sawan ki phir woh jadhi hai
Koi kash dil pe jara hath rakh le
mere dil ke tukdoh ko ik sath kar le
magar yeh hai khwabon khayalon ki baatein
kabhi toot kar cheez koi judhi hai
lagi aaj sawan ki phir woh jadhi hai
Prem could not take his mind and eyes of Heer and how her now slightly wetting hair was making her shiver...He woke up from his trance, as Heer pulled him inside..almost tripping over the pillar nearby. Their eyes locked, Prem and Heer were barely 6 inches from each other, Heer could hear her heart beat so loud she thought she needed to sit down, Prem slowly letting go of her hand, touched the set of hair that were wet and falling across her face..Heer turned her face away..Prem moved the hairs away and lifted Heer's face, suddenly there was a loud thunderstorm and Heer, scared hugged Prem tight. Caught too sudden, Prem hugged back..and the lights went out...Prem now shivering from the rain hugged Heer and closed his eyes. He had never felt such immensely love for someone, he never felt so eternally connected to the one girl in his life, he loved so much.
"I'm getting the candles Di, has Prem come back yet?" Meher hollered from far away..
To Prem and Heer, time had stopped. Heer realizing her position, slowly started moving back.Prem held on and in the rainy night, through the straining street light, he looked deep into Heers eyes, and thought, a man could dorwn in them..., having heard Meher,Heer slowly moved back, Prem let go of her slowly...
Meher came down and seeing Heer and Prem standing by the candle, promptly turned back said "Oops, I am sorry.I didnt mean to interrupt.I just wanted to bring down candles. "
Heer came back to her senses and hurriedly moved away from prem towards Meher, who kept looking in her direction.
"No, Meher, you..you were..I mean.. I was just letting Prem inside the house, and the light went out, so...soo...I was looking for the candles too.."Heer managed to stutter, still shivering from her close encounter. Prem let a smile and picked up the candle and walked up towards his room...Heer caught a glance of him, as he walked past...Meher flicked her fingers infront of Heer..
"Di, I know ha..i know...I am not a kid anymore.." said Meher, with twinkling eyes and a mischievious grin.
Heer held Mehers hair gently..
"You are too grown up for yourself, you know that? Now now, stop understanding too much and lets go to the kitchen, I was making dinner"said Heer.
Prem in his room..looked out of the window, slowly wiping his hairs..the clouds were retreating and he could see a full moon peeking out..and he remembered Heers innocent face and those big beautiful eyes...he smiled to himself and his heart sang...
