FF: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai/Premeer(Chapter 16 Page 71) - Page 9

Heer stumbled into her house, quickly shutting the door behind her. It was freezing outside and she could feel her hands cold against her face. She ran her hands through her hair and then walked over to the lights, turning them on dimly. Rubbing her hands together she quickly turned the heaters on, before walking over to the phone and sitting down comfortably on her sofa, cuddling up. It took her a second to dial her Dad Balraj's number; she picked up a pillow and waited patiently for him to answer.

"Hello!" Greeted a deep masculine voice.

"Hello Papa!" Heer replied, "How are you!"

"Heer beta!" "I'm fine how are you?" "And why didn't you call for so long?"

"I'm fine too papa and I'm soo sorry I was really busy and didn't get the time." Replied Heer.

Balraj was a very sweet young man in his forties. He loved his kids a lot but was extremely strict when it came to them. Since Heers mum had died he had brought up the children all by himself and therefore was very possessive over them. Heer loved her Dad a lot but she couldn't help thinking that he was far too strict and worried way too much.

"Heer are you taking care of yourself?" He asked with a concerned voice.

Heer smiled, "Yes papa how about you?"

"I have Siya and Meher and your older brother to take care of me!" "You don't need to worry!" Said Balraj laughing.

"How are Meher and Siya di?" Asked Heer. She hadn't spoken to her sisters in ages.

"They are fine as well, how is everyone one in London and how is your friend...what was his name again?...Uhhh Prr-

"Prem?" Said Heer completing his sentence.

"Yes Prem how is he?" Everyone in Heers family knew about Prem because Heer was always talking about him and most of the time she called back home in India Prem was always with her.

"Oh...Um he's fine...same as usual...!" Replied Heer. Everyone in her family knew how close Heer was to Prem they all knew that the two of them were best friends and he was probably the only person in London that Heer was so attached to. Last half term when Heer went to India to meet her Dad and sisters she spoke to Prem every single day whether it was over the phone or online. Heer had shown pictures of Prem to her family and her dad and brother weren't too pleased. There were many pictures of Prem drinking and with loads of girls around him that people had tagged of him. Heer knew that her dad wasn't too fond of Prem and she could tell from the way he would always go stiff when he spoke about him.

The last time when Heer called home Prem was with her and the two of them managed to get into a little fight. They were throwing pillows at each other and Heer accidently knocked over a vase causing it to smash. Her dad had heard something smashing over the Phone and was rather annoyed. Balraj always thought Prem was a nuisance.

"Umm Heer he is just a friend isn't he?" Balraj asked rather concerned.

Heer arched her eyebrows before coughing loudly, "Dad I've told you like a million times! Prem is just a friend! Why would I lie to you?"

"Oh okay I was just checking!" Replied Balraj sounding much more at comfort.

Heer knew her dad was only asking because he would never want his daughter to be in a relationship with someone like Prem. Balraj thought of Prem as the typical spoilt brat brought up in London who drank and smoke and didn't give a damn about his culture. Balraj probably wanted her to get married to some rich, successful, cultured nerdy business man. Although, she knew her love life would always be inspected by her father the fact that Balraj didn't really like Prem didn't affect Heer too much. After all, it wasn't like Heer would ever want to get married to Prem anyway so it wasn't really a problem for her.

Balraj coughed, "Heer if not Prem then is there someone else-"

"No dad!" Said Heer cutting him off, "There's no-one! Why are you even asking all these questions?"

"Oh um...nothing beta there's this really nice guy-"

"Ewww papa! Please papa not now!" Begged Heer cutting him off again.

"But Beta it's going to happen eventually!"

Heer stood up, "I know but please just NOT now!" She ran her hands through her hair, "Can I please talk to Meher?"

Balraj sighed handing the phone over to Meher, "DIDI!" Screamed Meher through the phone. Heer laughed, Meher was still her usual bubbly self, "Hey Meher! How are you!?" Asked Heer jumping on the sofa again far more relaxed now.

"I'm fine Didi! How are you?"

Heer and Meher talked to each other for the next half an hour. They had a lot of catching up to do with each others life.

"How is Prem!?" Asked Meher laughing sheepishly.

"Umm he's fine." Replied Heer. She knew exactly what Meher was thinking right now. Meher grinned.

"Meher shut up I know what you're thinking...there's nothing like that between me and Prem and anyways he already has a girlfriend and that even a NEW one everyday!" Heer Argued.

Meher laughed, "Didi when did I say anything about you and Prem being together?"

"Very funny Meher!" Said Heer laughing.

The two of them continued talking, "Okay bye Meher I have to go now, take care of everyone and give Siya di a Hi and a kiss from me!" Said Heer after a while standing up.

"Bye Didi!" Meher said blowing Heer a kiss through the phone, "Come online some time!"

Heer sent Meher a kiss back through the phone and then cut the phone placing it back where it went. She walked into the kitchen to find something light too eat. Heer didn't know why but she was missing her mum more than usual today. Talking to her family made her want to see them again. She opened the fridge and grabbed hold of a cold drink and orange slowly peeling it walking upstairs.

It had been days since she had last exercised and she felt like she was losing her appetite. She danced around to the beat and started exercising.

Some what 15 minutes later, Heer quickly pressed the pause button on her CD player and looked around the room. Her mobile was ringing, "Shit!" She shouted throwing her covers on the floor looking for her phone. "Ahhh!" She grinned grabbing her phone from under her pillow.

"Prem calling!" Heer rolled her eyes before answering the call, "Who died?" She asked laughing.

Prem arched his eyebrows, "What do you mean who died! Can't I call you for some other reason!?

"Whatever, what happened?!" She asked not even the least bit bothered.

"Nothing...I was just bored!"

Heer sat down on the edge of the bed running her hands through her hair, "and??"

Prem rolled his eyes rather annoyed with her questions, "I wanted to talk to you!"

"Why me?" She groaned.

"Because I feel like talking to you! Why do you ask so many questions!?" He asked angrily.

"Awww how sweet...NO bye I'm going!" She said about to cut the call.

"Nooo!" Prem begged through the phone.

"Prem I was exercising!" Heer stood up and walked onto the balcony looking across into his room. Prem was in a black vest lying on his bed flat stroking a pillow; the lights were on and he was unaware that she was watching him.

"Why were you exercising you're already so skinny and hot!" He said laughing cheekily.

Heer had no idea why but her heart skipped a beat, "Really?" She asked arching one of her eyebrows.

Prem smirked, "No I was just saying that to get you to talk to me! He rolled over throwing the pillow on the other side of the bed.

Heer rolled her eyes slightly disappointed, "Shut up Prem you're not funny! I'm going!"

"Noo I'm joking!" He begged, "I actually really think you're skinny and hot... why would I be your friend if you weren't?!"

Heer laughed, "Okay wait one minute let me get changed into my pyjamas!" She threw her phone on the bed and walked over to the bathroom to get changed. She washed her face and then quickly walked back to her room turning the lights off and climbing into bed.

Heer picked up the phone again, "Helllooo!" She greeted.

Prem laughed rolling over, "Hellooo!"

"Okaayy...did you call back home?" She asked.

"Omg don't ask! I have no idea what's wrong with my dad! He gets angry on the tiniest of things, I mean just because I didn't call him for a month he thinks I ran off with some girl!"

Heer sighed, "Yeh I would be just as angry if I had a son like you! What about your mum was she angry as well?"

Prem grinned sheepishly, "Naaah ma would never get angry on me, I'm her favourite!" He boasted. "Did you call home?"

Heer rolled over cuddling up under her covers and stretched her legs out, "Yeh...I miss my family so much."

"Okay please don't start crying now!" Prem grinned.

Heer started laughing, "Prem can I ask you something?" Her voice grew serious.

"Well you haven't really given me a choice have you?" He joked.

Heer rolled over again hugging her teddy, "Prem Shut up I'm serious."

"Okay go on!" He said waiting for her to talk.

Heer was silent for a minute before she quietly asked, "What does it feel like to have a mum? You always talk about your mum...I want to know!"

Prem felt her voice growing sad, "Normal...normal Heer normal! It feels completely the same not even one bit different!" He reassured her.

"I wish my mum was still alive!" She whispered. Prem could feel her starting to get sad. Every time she spoke about her mum or when other people mentioned their mother she would always get really quite and sad. Prem tried his best not to talk about his mum in front of her but sometimes words just slipped out. He hated it when she got sad so he tried changing the subject, "Heer I don't feel like coming to school tomorrow!"

"What! No Prem you better come!" Cried Heer sitting up in bed.

Prem grinned proudly at his attempt to make her smile, "Nahhh you know what I'm going to ditch school tomorrow!"

"Prem please it's so boring when you don't come! I swear if you don't come to school tomorrow I will never talk to you ever again and I will personally come over and rape you!" She shouted. She hated it when Prem didn't come to school. The day would always go by ten times slower and she would always feel weird because she didn't have anyone to fight with. Fighting with Prem was something she couldnt live without and her day would always be incomplete.

Heer picked up her teddy placing him in her lap, "Ewww Prem you're so sick minded!"

"Huh?? Prem retorted his mouth open wide, "You're the one that said you would come and rape me! Is that not being sick minded?!"

"I was joking!"

Prem laughed, "Yeh whatever...!"

Heer grinned back through the phone, "Your soo annoying...and cheeky!"

"Ohhh Yeh and you're so innocent right?" He asked sarcastically.

"Yes, I am."

The two of them laughed at the exactly the same time and continued to throw insults back and forth at each other for the next half hour.

Heer buried her face in her pillow yawning, "Okay Prem I'm going to bed now you have no idea how tired I am!"

"No Heer why are you going to bed so early? It's only eleven!"

"Prem! Do you want me to get to school late again?" She asked snorting.

Prem laughed remembering what happened today, "Yes!"

"Hahaha very funny NOT...bye I'm soo tired now...love you loads and see you tomorrow at school!" Said Heer cutting the phone and placing it on her bedside table. She grinned to herself running her hands through her hair before cuddling up in bed. Wrapping the blanket around herself, Heer closed her eyes and soon drifted off into a deep sleep.

Heer quickly sat up in bed and looked over at her clock swearing at it under her breath. Rubbing her eyes, she climbed out of bed and slowly dragged herself to the bathroom as she pulled of her pyjamas. Turning on the hot tap she quickly climbed into the shower, enjoying the touch of warm water against her body.

Wrapping a towel around herself she walked out of her bathroom and slowly opened her curtains looking out. Prem wasn't in his room, his covers were lying on the floor; his bedroom a complete mess. Heer sighed to herself thinking, "How early does this boy go to school?" She knew the only reason why he went so early was because it gave him more time to flirt with girls.

Closing the window Heer quickly walked over to her wardrobe and searched for something nice to wear. She pulled out a blue and pink sleeveless dress, staring at it for a few seconds before quickly pulling it on. Heer blow dried her hair before neatly curling the ends and letting it fall on both sides of her face. She looked gorgeous. When she was satisfied with her look she quickly pulled on her sandals and then looked around her room groaning loudly to herself; it was a complete mess.

Heer picked up her books throwing them in her bag and quickly ran downstairs. Walking into the kitchen she picked up an apple taking a big bite and had a small glass of orange juice before leaving the house to go to school.

She quickly stood up loosening herself from his grip, "I'm soo sorry...I...I wasn't watching where I was going!" She apologised.

"No it's okay...it was my fault..."- he said staring into her beautiful eyes.

"Your welcome!" He replied nervously embarrassed that she had caught him staring at her in such a weird way, "I'm Sameer." He said in a deep voice moving his hand forward.

Heer smiled, "Hey nice name, I'm Heer!" She pulled her hand forward shaking it with his.

Sameer laughed, "I already know your name!"

Heers eyes slightly narrowed as she stood up, "Oh Great! Hope too see you around sometime!" Without waiting for another second Heer quickly turned around and walked away. She spotted Sanjana and Priya standing on the side laughing loudly. Heer smiled at her friends before walking over to them.

"WOW Heer that was soo romantic!" The two of them said at exactly the same time before bursting into a fit of laughter.

Heer sighed to herself rolling her eyes, "You guys find every little thing romantic!" She started walking forward holding her books tight while Sanjana and Priya followed after her.

"Oh come on Heer, Sameer is so cute and he's new here anyway, I think this is his second or third day at school!" Exclaimed Sanjana causing Heer to stop in the middle of the corridor and turn around, "and anyways Heer it's about time you find yourself a guy!"

"Aww too bad, now will you please stop acting like my mother!" Heer snapped.

Priya laughed, "Heer you don't find any guy cute!"

"Hey that is so not true!" said Heer laughing. "I find my little nephew cute."

Sanjana turned Heer to face herself, "Heer that doesn't count! You do know you're the only girl in this whole college that probably hasn't dated anyone, I mean come on Heer your beautiful, you could get any guy you want! Nearly every single guy in this college crushes over you and you just pretend like you don't even know! How can you not have a boyfriend?!"

Heer folded her arms over her chest staring at her best friends like they were going crazy, "I don't have a boyfriend because I don't need one! And anyways all of this stuff is crap, look at Prem he has a new girlfriend EVERY two days and he doesn't even love them for real! I just want to wait till I actually find someone that truly loves me, someone that could give up their life for mine, someone that will know all my likes and dislikes, someone that will always ask 'if I'm alright,' someone that will fulfil all my dreams and love me more than anything else, someone that will tell me I look pretty even when I'm going through my worst days, someone that will always stick by me forever, someone that will kiss me like he actually means it, someone that won't break my heart!" Heer lost herself thinking about her dream man.

Sanjana and Priya burst out laughing, "Heer I'm sorry to break your heart but guys like that only exist in movies and television, in the real world there's nothing like that! Ahhh Heer I think you've been watching too many romantic movies, sighed Sanjana.

Heer smiled at her friends, "You guys are wrong. Guys like that do exist, you just have to search really hard and sometimes they might even be right beside you but you just don't realize their there until it's too late. You never know the guy I'm waiting for might be just round the corner!"

Priya looked at Heer with a worried expression, "Heer, if I were you I would stop dreaming and getting into all of this love stuff because when you find out it's not true and only happens in fairytales you are going to be really heartbroken!"

Heer laughed, "When I find my guy you guys are gonna be the first person I introduce him too. Anyways why are we even talking about all of this and where the hell is Prem?"

Sanjana grinned, "Prem? I just saw him a few minutes ago with this girl doing the usual stuff he does!"

Heer sighed walking into the locker area and groaned loudly stomping her foot on the ground. Prem was leaning against her locker making out with another girl. She put her hand over the side of her face to avoid looking at them and slowly walked up to her locker to get her books. "Urghh!" She cried realizing that she couldn't open her locker; it was trapped behind them. Prems tongue was in her mouth, her hands wrapped around his neck pushing him closer, his arms wrapped around her waist, his body clung to hers pushing her against the locker. They were kissing each other like they were in a movie. Heer couldn't help feeling sick. Even though this happened every day it still made Heer want to puke. Every single day she got to school Prem was always busy making out with a new girl against her locker. The two of their lockers were right beside each other and Heer was regretting it more than ever.

"Prem? Can you please move!?" She asked sighing. "Preeem!?" She called again when he didn't respond. "PREM?!" After calling him about five times she rolled her eyes, took a deep breath and pushed them both out of the way.

Prem jumped turning to see what had just happened, "What!?" He groaned turning to face Heer.

"GOD! Do you have any IDEA how disgusting that LOOKS?! I don't think I want to have a close up view of your TOUNGE in her MOUTH or in anybody else's mouth! EWW!" Heer blasted out all in one go, "PLEASE! Everyone can see you! Can you please care to have a LITTLE bit of SHAMEEE?! I mean If you really want to do all of this stuff can you please do it somewhere private and not in SCHOOL and that even against MY locker!"

"You're so annoying Heer!" Growled Prem turning around.

Heer rolled her eyes, "Well next time can you please care to not lean against my locker!? I DO NOT want your spit dripping in my area."

The girl who Prem had been making out with watched Heer with a disgusted look, "PREM! What the hell is her problem? Why is she acting like she has never kissed anyone before!? Anyways who would want to kiss her anyways?" She smirked running her nail down Prems face.

Heers eyes narrowed as she stood there fuming with anger, "Excuse me!? Who the hell are you to tell me whether or not I've kissed someone before or not?! You little s**t and for your kind information I have!" She lied.

Prem laughed, "You have?"

The girl rolled her eyes, "Prem baby I'll meet you at break! Good luck taking care of your crazy friend!"

"You're so horrible!" Screeched Heer as soon as the girl left.

Prem laughed, "Me? Why what did I do?"

Heer stomped her foot on the ground, "You sat their listening to everything that ugly bitch was saying!"

"Heer you started it!" He said opening his locker to take his books out.

Heer turned to look at him, "No I never, she's the one that said I have never kissed a guy before!"

Prem grinned, "But that's true Heer!"

"I know but why should I listen to her!?" She fired back angrily, "And how do you know that I haven't kissed a guy before?" Heer looked down and then quickly turned around, "Hey are you new?" She said to a geeky boy standing beside her packing his bag. The boy turned to look at Heer and looked like he was about to have a heart attack. He stared at her dreamily before grinning goopily, "Uhhh no...No...No...You spoke to me in History." He said blushing.

Heer twitched her eyebrows, "Really? Oh I don't remember?" She said confused.

He smiled at her, "That was our first conversation, I remember really well." He looked down smiling and laughing geekily.

"Awww how sweet!" Said Heer fake smiling and fluttering her eyelashes. Prem looked at Heer confusingly wondering what she was trying to do. Heer smirked at Prem and then leaned up, wrapped her hands around the geeky boy's neck and placed her lips on his. Prems eyes grew wide as he arched his eyebrows high. Heer kissed the boy and as soon as she broke apart the geeky boys eyes popped out, he stared at her with shock before falling onto the ground fainting. All the other guys in the corridor mouths hung open; they couldn't believe what Heer had just done.

Heer turned to face Prem again, "There you go! I have kissed a guy!" She smiled proudly. Prem looked at Heer for a few seconds before bursting out into a fit of laughter, "Omg, I can't believe you did that Heer! Hahaha by the way your boyfriend just fainted!" He said holding his stomach and laughing loudly.

Heer looked at him laugh angrily, "Shut up!" She said grabbing her books, "This isn't funny, I was actually being serious!"

Prem continued to laugh banging his fist on his locker trying to control himself, "How can you not call that funny that was the funniest thing ever Hahaha!" He said looking down at the boy who was still lying on the ground flat.

The bell rang. Heer stared at Prem groaning, "I'm going to physics!" Prem held his stomach still laughing while all the other boys watched Heer walk away with shock.
