Chapter 63
It was late after dinner and the juneja family was getting ready to hit the
bed. She walked out of the bathroom dressed in a light blue night dress. Seeing
him still working, "prem'bahut raat hogayi hai'aabh soh bhi jao," she said.
"bas das minute aur heer'almost hogaya," prem said. "tumara kaam khabhi khatham
nahi hota. Tum office se toh jaldi aajate ho par tumare office keh kaam khabhi
khatham nahi hote," she complained as she walked up to the dresser. As she
stood there brushing her hair, she saw him staring at her through the mirror.
"kya huwa? Aise kyun dekh rahe ho?" she asked. He placed the laptop on the
table and walked up to her. When he just stood there not saying anything, "prem'kya
huwa? Kuch bolo na," she said. "main tume thanks kehna chatha tha," he replied.
"thanks? Kis liye?" she asked him confused. "meri zindagi mein aane kehliye,"
he told her. She smiled hearing him, "prem'tum yeh acchanak'.," she said when
he placed his palm on her lips quieting her. "please heer'mujhe aaj joh kehna
hai mujhe kehne doh," he said. He moved closer and took her hands in his,
"thanks heer'meri zindagi mein aane kehliye'mujhe yeh ehsaas dilane kehliye keh
pyaar kya hota hai'mujhe yeh sikane kehliye keh hum kisise itna pyaar karsakthe
hai keh unke kehliye aapni jaan bhi deh sakthe hai'meri zindagi koh roshni se
barne kehliye'.mere parivaar koh aapna maan kar unne itna pyaar dene
kehliye'thanks for everything," he said as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"heer'please rohna mat'main yeh sabh tume dukh pauchane kehliye nahi kehraha
tha," he said wiping her tears. "nahi prem'yeh toh khushi keh aansoo hai'yeh
jaan kar keh tum'," she said. "shhh!" he said placing her hands on her lips.
"kuch mat kaho'kuch bhi nahi'tham lo iss pal koh'tham lo ek dusre keh saath
koh'ehsaas karo iss pyaar ko," he told her. "humari zindagi mein itna pyaar hai
phir kyun itna dard hai prem'kyun itne paricha dene padrahe hume?" she asked.
"yeh hi toh zindagi haina heer. Shayad bhagwan bhi yeh dekhna chatha hai keh
jab zindagi mein aisa mod aaye jab hume aise doh insaano mein se chunna pade
jisse hum bahut pyaar karte ho toh hum kya karte hai," he said. "kohi kya
karsakthe hai prem? Ek taraf aapna pyaar ho aur ek taraaf ussi pyaar ki ek
nishaani ho toh kohi kya karsaktha hai. Kisiko kya karna chahiye?" she
questioned to no one in particular. "shayad usse kismat keh upar iska faisla
chodeh na chahiye'jaise humne choda hai," he said. "aur agar kismat ka faisla
sahi nahi huwa toh?" she asked looking away from his eyes scared to face him.
He cupped her face in his hands and made her look at him, "toh humara pyaar
faisla karega keh kya hona chahiye humare aane wale kal keh saath aur mujhe
pura yakeen hai keh woh faisla khabhi galat nahi hosaktha," he told her and she
threw herself in his arms. He wrapped his hands around her making her feel safe
and peaceful. She could only pray that he was right and what their love has
decided for them would be right, for them and their children.
Two months passed in a blink of an
eye, especially when prem wanted to hold every passing second in a closed fist
of his hand. As time passed, heer's health worsened. As the babies were
growing, heer was experiencing more and more weakness. She was on complete bed
rest as she couldn't even walk for a short distance anymore and even if she did
try, she couldn't breathe and she had shortness of breath. She was growing more
and more paler as blood flow through the body was getting harder and her nails
were blue since blood wasn't reaching them. Everyone in the family was worried
about heer and prem just told them that the symptoms were because of heer's
weakness. Heer also was getting very concerned about the babies as her heath
worsened, but prem was there to support her, always! He tried to be home as much
as possible. He only went to the office when he was needed and stayed at home
to do the rest of the work. He always went with her to her doctor appointments,
which was every weak now to check that everything was fine with the babies and
heer. Also as heer's health was deteriorating, her cravings were increasing. A
night didn't pass by when she woke prem up for sweets, ice cream or something
sour. But, prem was always there for her and he did everything to keep her
happy especially when he knew how much heer hated sitting at home not being
able to do anything. On the other hand, ash and preet were getting close as
each day their love increased for each other. Ash was impatient and wanted to
tell everyone, but preet had told her that he wanted to wait until heer had her
children and that they would tell everyone their happiness along with prem and
heer's. However, the truth was that preet couldn't think of being happy when
his PB and heer bhabhi were going through such a tough time. Meher and Harman were
becoming better friends as time passed. Even though, meher thought that Harman
had feelings for her of more than a friend, but she was scared to tell him.
One, she was scared that he would break off their friendship, but she was also
scared that he would reject her.
It was late and she sat on her bed
wide awake even after being told by her mother-in-law that she should rest. He
was always home by 5 or 6 but it was almost 11 and he still wasn't here. He had
called to let her know that he will be late and that she shall go to bed, but
she couldn't fall asleep without him. He knew he was late, but the work had to
be done today. He parked his car and walked into the house. He didn't want to
wake up his lovely wife who he assumed to be sleeping. He walked in to see her
standing near the window dressed in a green night dress lost in thoughts. He
slowly walked in and walked up to her. She came out of her thoughts as she felt
his arms around her waist, "prem," she said feeling his touch. "kya huwa?" he
asked. "kuch nahi," she replied. "heer'tum jhoot nahi bol sakthi'mujhse toh
bilkul bhi nahi," he told her placing his cheek on her shoulder. "bahut bura
lagraha hai prem'aisa lagtha hai keh sabh mere liye aapni zindagi koh jeena
bhulgaye hai. Meri wajase se ghar keh log kahi nahi jaate meri wajase hum ghar
mein kohi celebration nahi karte'meri wajase preet aur ashlesha ka rishta aage
nahi badraha hai," she said with guilt evident in her voice. He turned her
around to face him, "heer'.yeh ghar keh har insaan ki zindagi kahi na kahi tumse
johdi hai'aur tumare bina main aur humara parivaar adhura hai," prem told her.
Heer wasn't satisfied'she felt that she was responsible for everyone's trouble.
Seeing her still lost in thoughts, "ok'chalo mere saath," he said. "kaha?" she
asked. "kuch mat pooch'main tume kahi leyjana chatha hoon," he said to her.
"par prem'itni raat gaye? Aur I am in my night dress," she said. "who
cares'chalo," prem said as he picked her in his arms. She smiled as she looked
at him. No matter what, he can make her forget all her worries and bring a smile
on her face. He saw her looking at him, "aisa kya dekh rahi ho? Tume chalna
maana hai so I am your transportation at your service," he said as she giggled.
He carried her up to the car and placed her in the passenger seat, and then
took his driver's seat. "prem'hum kya jaaraha hai?" she asked. "tume na thoda
bhi patience nahi hai'hum jab bhi bahar jaate hai'tume jaana hota hai," he said
teasing her. "mujhe patience hai'I will be quiet," she said as she sat back to
wait. Minutes later, prem pulled the car into a parking lot and heer was
surprised seeing where they were. Heer put the window down and beamed with
happiness as she felt the fresh air touch her skin and bought along the smell
of sea sand. She turned around to prem with a huge smile. He smiled back happy
to see her smile again'a true one. "tum room mein bait kar bore horahi thi na
issliye main tume yaha ley aaya'main abhi aaya," he said. Prem got out and went
to get something from the trunk. He pulled out two chairs from the back and
placed it on the ground close to the car. He helped her out carefully and made
her sit on a chair. "yaha aakar bahut accha lagraha hai. Yeh aawa'yeh rim jim
paani ki awaaz'taroi keh neeche'aisa kuch karke kitne din hogaye," she said.
"heer'bhul jao sabh kuch'saare tensions'saari problems'sabh kuch. Iss pal koh
jeelo," he said as he held her hand. "prem'tum," she said when he interrupted,
"heer'maine kaha na'hum kuch nahi bolenge'enjoy this moment kyun ki main tume
phir ghar se bahaar nahi laane wala at least until tumari delivery nahi
hojati," prem told her as she smiled. They sat together holding hands under the
moon light in silence in which they could hear each other's heart beat. The
silence was over taken by the music of their love. Prem and heer left so
peaceful being there at the beach after all that has happened. They hardly had
time to spend with each other'with all the tensions'they only worried about
each other when they were with each other. But, today, they were together and
they were not remembering any of their problems'they have left them all behind
only to be happy in each other's arms under the starry moonlight.
Hours passed and prem heer returned
home late at night and went to bed. Prem woke up the next morning and left for
office while heer slept in till late morning. She opened her eyes hearing the
sound of her phone ringing. She sat up and answered the phone. "hello," she
said. "heer'," the person said on the other end. "baba'!" heer exclaimed.
"kaisi ho beta?" he asked. "main theek ho'aap sabh kaise hai?," heer asked.
"sabh theek hai'tumari aur ashlesha ki bahut yaad aati hai," balraj said.
"Mujhe bhi aap sabh ki bahut yaad aati hai'par aabh kuch hi din toh hai aur
phir ashlesha wapas aajayegi aapki madad karne," heer said. "ashlesha kahi nahi
jaarahi hai," someone said at the door and heer turned to see ash. "kya?" heer
said. "ha'main tabh tak nahi jaarahi ho jab tak tumari delivery nahi
hojati'maine aapna visa extend kara liya hai," ash told heer. "par ash'baba koh
tumari zaroorat hai," heer said. "nahi heer'ash bilkul sahi kehrahi hai. Main
toh waha tumare saath nahi rehsaktha par woh toh rehsakthi hai," balraj said to
heer. "lekin baba'.," heer said when he intervened, "heer'maine aur ash milkar
yeh faisla liya hai'maine hi ash se kaha tha," balraj said. "kya? Aap dono ne?"
heer asked as ash smiled at her. "ek baat yaad rakhiye baba'aap mere saath hona
na ho'aap ki yaad mujhe hamesha aati hai," heer said. "aapna khayal rakna," he
said. "jee baba," she said as ash took the phone. "ha baba'aap bilkul tension
free hojaye'main aapse tab hi milongi jab main maasi aur aap double time nana
banjaoge," ash said as balraj and heer both laughed. "aapna aur heer ka khayal
rakna aur zyaada shararat nahi karna," balraj said. "jee baba," ash said. "main
rakta hoon," balraj said and the conversation ended. "ash'tuhje baba keh paas
waapas chale jaana chahiye'unne madad ki zaroorat hai'main yaha theek ho," heer
said. "heer'tu chinta mat kar'maine maasi koh phone kardiya hai woh kuch dino
kehliye humare ghar aarahi hai," ashlesha said. "phir bhi ash'yaha toh sabh
haina," heer tred to reason as she thought that balraj needed ash's help more
than she. "heer'aabh iss topic peh bahut discussion hogaya'main tumare saath
rehrahi ho'bas," ash said. "kya yeh visa meriliye ya kissi aur kheliye extend
kiya hai?" heer teased. "oh come on heer'woh itna bhi important nahi hai keh
main uss kehliye visa extend karo," ash said. "accha?" heer said as they both
giggled. "but seriously heer, ha main khush ho keh mujhe uske saath thoda aur
waqt bitane ka mauka milega lekin mere liye tumse badkar kohi nahi hai," she
said as she engulfed heer in a big hug. Since heer had come into her life, heer
has always been there for her, first as a mother then as a sister and now as
her best friend, and now it was her turn. Coming out of the hug, both the
sisters wiped their tears. "tum rohte huwe bilkul acchi nahi lagthi'mujhe toh meri
hasti chulbuli ash hi acchi lagthi hai," heer said wiping ash's tears as both
the sisters smiled.
It was a little after lunch and
gayatri walked up to lalit and kulraj who were in the living room chatting.
"suniye'mujhe aapse kuch baat karni thi," gayatri said as she took a seat. "ha
gayatri'bolo kya baat hai?" lalit asked. "jee main sooch rahi thi keh heer ka
saath wa meine khatham hone ko hai toh main sooch rahi thi keh hum uski godh
barahi kare," gayatri said as kulraj smiled. "ma'yeh toh bahut accha idea hai,"
kulraj said. "ha gayatri lekin tum toh jaanti ho keh heer ki tabeyat kitni
karaab rehti hai,"lalit said. "jaanti ho'lekin heer pheli baar ma bannewali hai
aur balraj bhai saab bhi yaha nahi hai toh kya yeh humara faraz nahi hai keh
hum humari bahu koh yeh khushi deh," gayatri said. "main jaanta ho gayatri aur
main bhi chatha hoon keh heer koh yeh khushi mile lekin kya tume lagtha hai keh
prem manega?" lalit asked. "ha ma'babuji sahi kehrahe hai'aap toh jaante hai
keh prem heer koh lekar kitna pareshaan rehta hai," kulraj said. "main yeh bhi
jaanti ho keh prem heer ki khushi khabhi maana nahi karega'main uske aate hi
baat karongi," gayatri stated. "aur agar woh maan gaya toh hum aaj hi tayaari
shuru kardenge," lalit said as gayatri smiled. That evening, prem had returned
from work and it was time for heer to eat so he took dinner for the two of them
to their bedroom. Heer really didn't want to eat and prem was trying to
persuade her. "prem'mujhe bilkul bhi khaane ka maan nahi hai," heer said. "heer'bas
thoda sa'agar tum kahogi nahi toh main tume tumari medicines nahi deh
saktha'chalo khalo," prem said as he fed her a spoonful of rice. As heer was
eating, someone knocked on the door. Both prem and heer turned around to see
gayatri at the door. "aree ma'andar aayiye na," heer said as she tried to sit
up. "nahi nahi beta'tum baiti raho," gayatri said as she walked up to them.
"baitiye ma," prem said as he stood up giving her space to sit next to heer.
"mujhe tum dono se baat karni thi?" she said as prem and heer looked at each
other. "jee ma'boliye na," heer said. Gayatri didn't know how to tell them what
she wanted to. She wanted heer to be happy, but she also knew how sick heer
was. "ma'.kya baat hai? Sabh theek toh hona?" heer asked seeing gayatri's
unsure face. "ha beta'bas paata nahi kaise bolo," gayatri said. "ma'aap humse
kuch bhi bolsakthi hai'itna kyun sooch rahi hai," prem said. "woh'main aur
tumare babuji chathe hai keh hum heer ki godh bharai kare," gayatri said as
prem and heer looked at her. "ma'aap toh jaante haina keh heer ki
tabeyat',"prem said. "ha beta par heer pheli baar ma banewali aur hum pheli
baar dada dadi banewale hai'kya tum nahi chathe keh hum yeh khushi sabh keh
saath share kare," gayatri said. "ha ma'par'," prem said when heer interrupted,
"aap jaisa chathi hai waisa hi hoga ma," heer said. "saach?" gayatri asked. "ha
ma'godh bharai hogi aur waise hi jaise aap aur babuji chathe hai," heer told
her. "thank you beta," gayatri said as she smiled and left the room happily to
tell everyone else.
Prem took his seat next to heer,
"tum yeh nahi karsakthi," he said to her. "prem'main jaanti keh tum meri
tabeyat ki chinta karahe ho lekin soocho prem hum joh bhi karahe hai ma babuji
aur sabh ki khushi kehliye karahe haina toh kya yeh unkehliye nahi karsakthe.
Aur soocho prem godh bharai peh bahut saare log aayenge humare baccho koh
aashirwaad dene aur kya tume nahi lagtha keh hume inn sabh keh aashirwaad ki
zaroorat hai," heer explained. "par heer'tum theek se chal nahi paarahi ho aur
tum function kaise handle karogi? Waha itne saare log honge." prem worried. She
kept his hand on his, "prem'main saara din rest karongi'don't worry," she said
and prem nodded, still unsure. "main abhi aaya," he said. "prem'," she called
out and he stopped and turned back. "prem'mujhe lagtha hai tume ma se baat
karni chahiye'jis taara tumne unse aise hi maana kardiya'tum unse ek baar baat
karlo," heer said. "your right'main abhi aaya," he said and left to talk to
gayatri. After talking to the heer and prem, gayatri was on the phone making
arrangements for the godh bharai. "ma," he said walking into the room. "aree
prem'aao na," gayatri said. He walked in and sat in front of her on the floor.
"I am sorry ma," he said feeling guilty. "prem tu maafi kyun maang raha hai?"
she asked. "ma'mujhe aise hi maana nahi karna chahiye par aap jaanti haina',"
he said when she interrupted. "prem'tuhje kuch bhi bolne ki zaroorat nahi hai.
Main jaanti ho keh tu heer koh lekar bahut pareshaan rehta hai. Par beta hum
sabh heer koh khush dekhna chathe hai, woh peechle kuch dino se ghar se bahaar
bhi nahi jaati issliye hum chathe hai keh usse yeh khushi mile," gayatri told
him. "kash woh theek hojaye," he said as he kept his head in her lap. "bhagwan
peh baroosa rakna'sabh theek hojayega," she said stroking his hair. "kash aisa
hi ho," prem said. "prem'agar tum hi itne pareshaan hojaoge toh heer koh kyon
samalega," gayatri said to him. "aur main yeh bhi jaanti ho keh tujhe yaha
kisne bheja hai?" gayatri said. "matlab?" prem asked. "matlab keh meri bahu ne
tume yaha bheja hai. Usse toh kuch kehna hi nahi padtha woh toh sabh samaj
jaati hai. Iss bacchi koh aaye huwe kuchi meine huwe hai par lagtha hai keh
iske bina iss ghar ki zindagi ya ruksi gayi hai. Aabh toh bas yeh jaan kar
accha lagtha hai keh woh kuch dino mein theek hojayegi," gayatri said happily.
"kash aisa hi ho ma'par jab sabh koh paata chalega keh shayad heer aabh khabhi
wapas nahi aayegi iss ghar mein toh kya hoga iss ghar ka. Dar hai keh kohi
tufaan iss ghar keh rishton koh kissiki nazar na lagjaye," prem thought looking
at his mother. At that moment, lalit walked in and smiled at the scene in front
of him. "kya baatein horahi hai ma beta mein?" he asked. "kuch nahi," they both
said in unison wiping their tears. "maine saare logo koh phone kardiya'tum
decorations phone kiya?" lalit asked his wife. "ha'maine decorations wale aur
caterers koh phone kardiya woh subhe hi aajayenge," gayatri said. "subhe? Ma
kal hi?" prem asked. "ha beta'naik kaam mein dehri kaisi," lalit said. "sahi
kaha aapna babuji'main chalta hoon," prem said as he walked out of the room.
She had just heard from kulraj that
her godh bharai function was tomorrow. She was happy, but she was scared as
well. Not a lot, just a little'may be! She didn't know what everyone will say tomorrow
and that worried her. Right then, he walked in to see her sitting in her chair
by the balcony. "heer'guess what? Tumari godh bharai kal hi horahi hai," he
said walking in happily. "paata hai," she said plainly. "heer'kya huwa? Thodi
dher phele toh tum bahut khush thi?" he asked. "prem'tume yaad hai jab kuljeet
mausi aayi thi uss din?" heer asked. "ha'par woh toh almost doh meine pheli ki
baat hai'tum uss baare mein aabh kyun sooch rahi ho?" prem asked confused. "tab
toh sirf daljeet chachi aayi thi par kal toh bahut saare log honge toh agar
kisine kuch kaha toh hum kya kahenge? Yeh pale skin aur yeh blue nails inn sabh
keh baare mein?" heer said to him. "toh tum issko lekar pareshaan ho? Ok'kuch
sooch the hai," prem said as he thought of a way that no one could ever
recognize that heer was sick. "idea!" he said. "kya idea?" heer asked. "tum
kissi bhi baat ki tension mat lo'kal shaam koh tum function kehliye bilkul
ready hogi," he told her. "par prem'hum karenga kya?" heer asked. Just then, two
people entered their room arguing. "hum bhi aayenge," he said. "nahi
bhaiya'waha sirf ladies hongi. Aap waha nahi aasakthe," she said. Both prem and
heer looked each other. "kya huwa hai? Tum dono ladh kis baat peh rahe ho?"
prem asked. "dekhiye na bhaiya'preet bhai kehrahe hai keh woh bhi godh bharai
mein aayenge. Aap unne baatayi na keh waha sirf ladies aasakthi hai," meher
said to prem. "That's unfair PB'akir meri bhi bhabhi hai'main jaunga," preet
said. "aree itna shor kyun macha hai yaha? Kya horaha hai?" lalit said as him
and gayatri walked in along with kulraj and kiran. "babuji'aap hi boilye na yeh
unfair hai keh nahi keh sirf ladies jaa sakthi hai," preet complained. "iss
mein unfair jaisi kohi baat nahi hai preet," lalit said. "par mujhe bhi
function mein jaana hai," preet whined. "aree preet'yeh kya baccho jaisi harkat
hai," gayatri said. "ok'main bhabhi se hi poochta ho," preet said as he turned
to heer. "Boliye bhabhi'kya main'apka sweet devar kal function mein aasaktha
ho?" he asked making a sweet face. Heer smiled looking at him, "theek hai'tum
bhi ajaana," heer said. "saach bhabhi?" preet asked excitedly. "ha'yeh ek
family function hai toh sabh ka hona toh zaroori haina?" heer said as everyone
smiled. "Aabh heer ne hi kehdiya hai toh aisa hi hoga'aree ghar keh marad toh
waha ho hi sakthe hai," gayatri said. "aabh toh kal ka faisla hogaya hai aabh
chalo sohte hai'bahut raat ho chuki hai," lalit said and everyone left to their
rooms to sleep. Later, prem gave heer her medications and put her to bed before
he went to bed for the night.
The next morning started out in a
chaos in the juneja household with caterers, decorators, sangeet wale'everyone
was starting to come in and the elders of the house were trying to get all the
jobs right and on time. She walked out of the bathroom wiping her hair and she
turned out to see her husband at the door. "prem'kya huwa? Tum aise kyun kade
ho?" she asked. "tumare kal keh tension ka hal laaya ho," he said and two girls
dressed in dressy skirts and white shirts walked in. "prem'yeh kyon hai?" she
asked surprised. "yeh dono tume tayaar karenge'aaj shaam kehliye'aabh tum yaha
baito aur baaki sabh yeh karenge," he said as he made her sit on bed.
"Girls'start working'I want my wife to be ready by 6 in the evening. You
understood everything I told you," he said and the girls nodded. For the rest
of the day, the whole house was decorated with violet lilies and purple satin
cloths along the stairs and the railings. Around the house, strands of lights
hung from the walls. At the corner of each stair was decorated with a diya on
both sides. "Aree gayatri heer kaha hai'abhi aayi nahi?" someone asked. Gayatri
walked up to prem, as he wasn't letting anyone go into their room, "prem'heer
kaha hai? Sabh intezaar karahe hai?" gayatri asked him. "ma'main jaake dekhta
hoon," he said as he left for the room. He knocked on his room door and it
opened. He stepped into the room and the girls walked out. She stood up from
the dressing table and turned around. She was looking gorgeous in a red sari
with a golden designing border and red embroidery flowers scattered over. Added
to that was a ruby necklace and earrings along with a maang tikaa. Her hands
were adorned with mehendi and red bangles and he smiled looking at the kadaas
that she has added, which he gifted her. Her hair was tied up in a bun and a
few strands of bangs let loose on the side. They have given her pink blush to
hide her pale skin and they have painted her nails red matching the sari. He
smiled looking at her as she has dressed up after so long. He walked up to her
and she stood there with a blushing smile, looking at the floor. "aaj toh sabh
koh bahut problem hojayegi haina?" he asked and she looked at him confused.
"ha'aaj joh chand zameen peh aagaya hai," he said. She smiled recognizing his
words. How could she forget those words'those were the first lines he said to
her on their suhaag raat. "main itni bhi acchi nahi lagrahi ho," she told him.
"kyon kehta hai?" he said as he turned her to face the mirror. Standing behind
her, "mere aankhon se dekho toh meri heer kal bhi meri angel thi'aaj bhi
hai'aur hamesha rahegi, forever! Duniya wale kuch bhi kahe'meri liye tum duniya
ki sabh se khoobsurat ladki ho," he said engulfing her in his arms as she
smiled. "prem'kohi aajayega," she said seeing the open door. "kohi nahi'sabh
tayaari mein busy hai," he said nuzzling her cheek. "prem'" someone called and
prem quickly moved away as heer giggled. "waha bed peh dupatta hai," heer said.
Prem went to the bed and came back with a red bridal dupatta. He walked back to
her and opened the dupatta and pulled it over her head, finishing the last
touch and smiling at his beautiful wife who was completely ready. At the
moment, gayatri walked in, "prem'heer tayaar nahi'," she stopped seeing heer in
front. Walking up to her bahu, "kisiki nazar na lage meri bacchi ko," she said
as she took a bit of kajal from her eyes and placed a small dot behind her
ears. "chale?" gayatri asked and heer nodded and they all left for the living
room where the function was supposed to be held.
Gayatri took heer to the center of
the room and made her sit in the middle on a chair so that she would be
comfortable. Then, she took a plate full of heer's favorite food that she and
kulraj have cooked from the morning. After feeding heer, she placed a gift box
in her hands and bend down to whisper in her ears. "bhagwan kare tumari godh
doh chand keh tukdoh se bar deh aur tumari zindagi mein aur bhi khushiya lekar
aaye," gayatri said as heer smiled. Next, kulraj went to heer, "aaj tume itne
dino baad haas the huwe dehkar bahut accha laaga. Meri bas yehi duwa hai keh
tumari godh khushiyo se baari ho aur tum aur prem ki Jodi hamesha saath rahe,"
she said. Next was ashlesha turn. "main bas yehi pray karti ho keh tum bhagwaan
doh gol maatol khoobsurat bacche deh, bilkul waise hi jaisi tume pasand hai,"
ashlesha said as heer chuckled. Later, all the other ladies did the same. Prem
was happy to see heer being pampered and that her wish of getting blessings for
their babies was being fulfilled. "accha'bhabhi'yeh batayiye aapko beta chahiye
ya beti ya phir dono?" meher asked teasingly. "mujhe betiya chahiye," heer said
blushingly as everyone smiled. "ek minute'jeeju koh bhi pooch teh hai,"
ashlesha said as she bought prem and made him sit next to heer. "ha prem'baata
tuhje beta chahiye ya beti?" kulraj asked. "woh muhje toh beta chahiye," prem
said. "wah wah'kya baat hai?" preet said to tease his PB and heer bhabhi. "aree
yeh kya heer koh betiya aur prem koh beta chahiye," someone teased as everyone
laughed. "main toh bas yeh chathi hoon keh beta ho ya beti'bas woh dono theek
ho," heer told everyone as prem smiled looking at her. "accha'aabh bahut hoga
discussion'maine aur meher ne heer kehliye ek surprise plan kiya hai," ash
said. "kaisa surprise?" heer asked. "wait and watch bhabhi," meher said and
they both left from there. The lights turned dim and the music started.

(Waari jaawa waari jaawa waari jaawa
Sau sau baari sau sau baari waari jaawa) - 2
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein
Oye hoye hoye hoye, oye hoye hoye hoye
(Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, dadi behlaave
Paayal pehenke naani naach dikhaave) ' 2 [As meher and ash sang, they bought
gayatri in the middle and she danced in happiness]
(Waari jaawa waari jaawa waari jaawa
Sau sau baari sau sau baari waari jaawa) ' 2
Haan, chhotu jo aave ghar mein [As ash sang, preet joined in to sing]
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein
Hoye hoye, oye oye oye oye [Teasing ash, preet sang these lines teasing her]
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, maasi ko bulaave
Naadi badalke unki lori sunaave [hearing these lines everyone laughed]
Naadi? Maasi ki? [Ash got mad hearing preet and she started to reply back to
him]
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, aave unke chacha [Ash said as she stomped on preet's
foot]
chacha? Ya mama, [Prem whispered only that ash and preet could hear]
hmm chacha [preet answered]
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, aave unke chacha
Daaton se naala pakde, haath se pajama [Ash sang to preet as he stood there
making a puppy face]
Oh, teri hasi bhar bharke
Ghar mein chhidkaave [ash sang as she hugged her sister with love]
Oh, sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le
Sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le
Saiyyaan, saiyyaan, saiyyaan saiyyaan
Saiyyaan se kheli bahut ab
Chhotu ko khilaayi le
Sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le
Sola singaar karke
(Waari jaawa waari jaawa waari jaawa)
As the song came to an end, ash, meher,
and preet pulled everyone in the middle and all the family members danced
happily. As heer saw everyone dance, a broad smile crept up on her face and all
the family members smiled as they were successful in making heer happy after
all she has been through from the past few months. Later, everyone had dinner
together and heer felt a relief to eat with the everyone in the hall rather
than in her room.
After dinner, prem bought heer to the room
as she was starting to get tired. Making her sit on the bed, "tum theek toh
hona?" he asked. "ha'bas toh ajeeb lagraha hai," she said as she felt a weird
sensation in her stomach. "kya huwa? You cant breath? Doctor koh phone karo?"
prem asked concerned. "nahi'bas thoda paani," she said as she rested her head
against a pillow. He gave her some water, "tum leyto'main doctor se baat karke
aata ho," he said. After talking to the doctor, he came back in the few
minutes. "doctor ne kaha keh aisa hota hai inn dino mein'tum chinta mat karo,"
he told her as she nodded. He took her hand in his and held it as he calmed her
down because he knew she was worried even though she wasn't showing it. An hour
or so later, heer felt a little better so she changed into a green night gown
and walked out of the bathroom and took a seat on the bed. Prem too changed
into a white kurta pajama and took a seat next to her. "aaj function bahut
acchse hogaya na," she said. "ha'sabh tume dehkar bahut khush huwe," he told
her. "aur ma babuji ki iccha bhi puri hogayi," heer said smilingly. "accha'tumari
dawayi ka time hogaya hai'main abhi laya," he told her and she nodded. As prem
got up from the bed, heer felt a weird sensation in her belly. She felt a kick
from inside and "ahhh," she yelled in pain as she placed her hand on her bulged
stomach. Prem ran back to her, "heer'kya huwa? Tum theek toh hona?" he asked
worried. "usne maara," she said. "kissne?" he asked. "prem'mera matlab hai
humare baccho ne pheli baar kick kiya," she said as she looked at him and a
tear fell on her cheek from her eyes to her cheek. He placed his hand on her
stomach and felt another kick. They both smiled with happiness as they felt
their kids' first impression that they were coming in this world soon. Prem
wiped her tears and she landed in his arms. As they sat in each other's arms,
"aabh bahut jald yeh dono iss duniya mein aajayenge," prem said. "aur mere paas
bahut kaam samein," heer said sadly. "heer...phir aisa mat bolna," prem said
getting mad. "saach hi toh haina prem'aur iss saach ka saamna toh karna hi
padega na?" heer said. He came out of the hug and cupped her face in his hands,
"heer'main tume kuch nahi hone donga'chaye mujhe kuch bhi karna pade'main tume
meri zindagi se jaane nahi donga'I promise!" he told her. "mujhe paata hai keh
mera prem aapna vaada khabhi nahi toh dehga," heer said as she hugged him
again. "bhagwan se yehi duwa hai heer keh woh tumara baroosa khabhi na toot ne
deh," prem thought to himself as he silently prayed with heer in his arms.
Precap: A beginning of a new chapter is an end of another...but is the story really complete without all the chapters together??? What will happen to heer? will fate decide or the divine love?
what do you think? wait and watch!
