A Fanfic about Prem & Preeti of Hum Saath Saath Hain
Hey guys.
This is my first Bollywood-Based-Fanfic. I'm writing about Prem & Preeti from the move: "Hum Saath Saath Hain", as I really loved the couple and especially their innocent chemistry they had. I have watched the movie like 100 of times, and can never get tired of it.
So, welcome to my fanfic. I hope you guys will enjoy it, and please do tell me what you think and what I should do better. Like I always say: "Feedback is always good".
* Do tell me What you think, What I should do better, and What you guys think that will happen in the story.
I would like to start giving a small intro of all the characters that would be in the story:
Ramkishan: He is the proud father of 4 children (Vivek, Vinod, Prem and Sangeeta). He owns a big business. He had been married twice, as his first wife passed away. They had a son together, named Vivek. His second wife is Mamta.
Mamta: She is the stepmother of Vivek, but she loves him as a real mother. She is a housewife. She loved all her children, but Prem has always been the one she had been very close to.
Vivek: He is the one who helps his father with the business. He is paralyzed on one of his hands. He is the eldest of the 4 children. He is married to Sadhena, and they have a child together.
Prem: He also helps his dad and brother a bit in the business. He is a young man who wants to do something great for the poor people. (I will come back to him later)
Vinod: He is very funny and lazy, and always teases people around him. He is learning to take care of the family business as he has never worked in an office before. He loves Sapna, turned-wife. He had always pictured her in his dreams.
Sangeeta: She is married to Anand, and they have a daughter together. She is a housewife.
Anand: He is the husband of Sangeeta. He does everything what Sangeeta says. He helps his elder brother with his work. Well he does the finances and computer work.
Anwar: He owns a shop, but does not go there. Most of the time he is in Ramkishan's house.
Wakeel Mamu: He is the elder brother of Mamta. Everybody calls him wakeel ji and the kids call him Mamu.
Mamijaan: She is the beloved wife of Wakeel mamu. She comes from Banares. Very kind hearted.
Pritam uncle: He is the father of Preeti. He is always in depression because his daughter is a doctor, and that he can't eat sweets and those kinds of things, because of her. He is a very funny and sociable guy.
Sadhana: She is the girl who is married to Vivek, despite knowing his conditions of his hand. She has been studying in America, and then comes to India.
Sapna: She is a friendly girl. She is very smart and very beautiful. She is best friends with Sangeeta and preeti.
Preeti: She is a smart and very shy girl. She cares a lot for her father and that's why she doesn't let him eat sweets. She loves Prem and everybody in the family knows that. (I will come back to her later too).
Prem:
He studies a lot, and therefore reads a lot of books. He is a really good brother and a son. But he is very shy to express his feelings, especially to Preeti. He loves her more than anything. He barely looks at her, and when he does, he just gives her a sweet innocent smile.
Preeti:
She is a doctor. She is also an amazing daughter and friend. She is very innocent and has a very calm nature as well. She talks very softly and she is in love with Prem. Everytime her friends tease her about Prem, she always runs away. Just like Prem, she cannot express her true feelings toward him.

Ram Kishan and Mamta were sitting in their living room, and talking about how lucky and happy they were about their sons' marriage. Everyone was really happy and they were enjoying their marriage life. Nothing has changed, as Vinod were still the brother, who talked too much and teased everyone. He managed to learn the hectic office-life as his brothers did. Vinod was happy with Sadhna, and their baby son. He was now 2 years old now, and a happy laughing child. Where else Prem and Preeti were still the innocents lovers as they were in their childhood.
Vinod, vivek and prem were heading home from the office as the clock was a lot. Preeti, Sadhana and Sapna were busy preparing the dinner for them. They could hear Vinod coming into the house and complaining, about how hard it was working in the office: "Ab bas.. mujhse nahi hota yeh rooz ki meeting attend karna.. Kitni thakaan hoti hai, yaar". The girls stood in the kitchen and smiled. Soon they could hear Vivek and Prem entering the house. The girls came inside the living room, to tell them that the dinner was ready. They went to the dinner table and sat down and ate peacefully. For once. After they ate, they got to their separate rooms, and slept as they were very tired.

The next day:
Preeti woke up, and saw that her bed was half empty. "He must have been up early" she thought. She stood up and walked to the bathroom, so she could get fresh and at the same, get some new clothes on. She came downstairs and saw that Mamta and Ram Kishan were having guest. She came smiling and greeted the guest and after that she joined Sapna in the kitchen with the tea making. After some 15 minutes Preeti and Sapna came inside to serve the tea for them. She heard that aunty asking Mamta that how her sons were and if they were expecting some good news lately, while she looked at Preeti.
"Mamta, tumhare paas to itni achi bahuye hai, ke mat pocho.. Lekin, koi khush khabri toh hogi, nai? Eik toh hai hi.. Bar koi prem our preeti ke bare mein?' 2 saal guzar gaya hai, Mamta."
As soon Preeti heard that, she stood up, and walked to the kitchen, as she was really shy and always the one, who ran away from those kinds of things. That was the thing she was famous of. The shy and the innocent girl in the family just like Prem.
Sapna came inside and teased her and she couldn't make her stop. She smiled also, but something made her smile fade away. She couldn't help to think if there was something wrong with her: "Akhir, aunty thik hi kehrahi thi.. 2 saal guzar gaye. Toh akhir kyu nahi?" She was a doctor after all, so she understood quite well those things. She came out of her heavy thought and heard that Mamta were calling her. She saw that everyone were sitting and having a normal talk.
After some hours she came from her room heading to the front door, but was interrupted by uncle Ram Kishan: "Preeti beta, kaha jaa rahi hoon?"
she answered back: "Wo, uncle jee, zara clinic jaa rahi thi, waha 2 patient hai jise dekhna hai". He smiled to her and said that she should go.
After some 20 minutes driving, she came to the clinic which was right next to the big hospital. She checked those patients she had to, and after that she thought that she may as well get a checkup by a doctor. She did a test for them and they told her that she would get the result within a week. She said thank you to the doctor and left from there.
She came home, and to her surprise she saw that Prem had come home earlier from work. They both smiled and just stood and eyed each other all the time. Mamta noticed that, so she decided not to disturb them, so she left them alone with each other.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Several days later, she got an appointment at the doctors where she could get the results from her check-up tests she did for them. It was a lady doctor who came and greeted her and guided her through her room, where they both sat down.
"Preeti. As you know, we did some tests on you, mainly considering your health". She paused and looked down on her files and told her that the test had come back good, and there was nothing to worry about. She was a healthy woman. She smiled at her and but the doctor could sense that there was something bothering her.
"Is there anything wrong?". She looked at her and answered: "Uhm. Nahi doctor. Par mein jaana chahti thi, kisi our ke baarein mein". With that the doctor understood where she was going. She looked down with a sad face: "Im very sorry, Preeti. But there is no news of a child. Actually there has been couple of signs of that it may be difficult for you to become a mother in near future".
When she had finished the sentence, Preeti could simply not believe her own ears. Here she was sitting and getting the news that she may not be a mother. How could she react on that? She couldn't think right now. She was in shock. She tried to steady her voice, and asked how it could be etc. The doctor told her background of the reason. She was a doctor herself so she understood all of it. But how could she not be aware of herself?
So many questions wandered around her head, but yet no answer. How could she tell this to Prem? What would her family say? No.. She couldn't do this toward the family, who loved her to the fullest. They talked a bit more and after that she left from there, taking her report with her.
She made it home, and met Sangeeta at the door. She was asking her something, but was not paying attention to her.
"Arre, tum sunto rahi hoon?"
She gave a half smile and said: "uhm.. Mujhe thora saar mein dard horaha hai. Toh, tumse thori deer ke baad baat karti hoon. Hmm?". She walked passed her and up to her own room. Sangeeta stood back with a puzzled look and wondered if it only was the headache that was bothering her? Afterall they do tell everything to each other.
At the same evening, when Prem had come home, he had been told that Preeti had not eaten anything, due to her headache. He got worried and took a plate of food with him upstairs for both of them. He came inside the room and saw that she was lying on the bed. She heard the door opened, so she scooted up in a sitting position and saw to her surprise that he was carrying a trey of food to her. He smiled at her and asked how she was feeling. She said that she was fine, but still had a headache. They both smiled a bit and he took a little piece of the roti and fed her. She was almost shy but she let him do it. How could she tell this news to him, which will break his world into pieces? She did not want to think too much, so she took a small piece as well and fed him too. They both sat talking and eating together.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
2-3 days went, and Preeti was always in her room. She did not feel like talking to anyone. She did not eat so much, and most of the times she was always asleep when Prem came home. Mamta started to get worried about her, so she convinced her that she should visit the doctor, as they could found out the reason for her headache. Preeti on the other hand, did not want to go, but she couldn't say no to her.
The driver took her and Preeti to the doctor, and called Prem at the same time that he should also come to the hospital, as it would be good for her if he also was there. On their way, preeti was really nervous, and couldn't think clearly. Soon enough they reached the hospital and walked inside.
Here she met the same doctor who Preeti had talked to earlier. Mamta told her about headache and the doctor told her what she should do, and gave her some medicine to recover from it. After hearing that, preeti stood up, as she was thirty and wanted some water, Prem, being the gentleman, said that she should sit down, but she refused and told him that it was ok, and she could get it herself. She walked outside the room, where there was a table with food and water.
While she was outside, the doctor told them that Preeti was here at the hospital some days ago, because she did a check-up for herself. Mamta and Prem looked at each other, as they were not informed of this. The doctor however told them that she was a healthy woman.
Mamta couldn't control herself and asked: "Toh, koi khushkhabri? Ya aisa kuch". "Aapko Preeti ne nahi bataya?".
"Kya doctor?".
"I'm sorry, Mamta jee. But Preeti can't become a mother in near future. We did some test, and based from them, it says that she can't right now. But we do not for sure in the future".
"Kya?" this time it was Prem who spoke. He couldn't believe that preeti had this hidden from him. They were now both shocked and sad at the same time.
The doctor looked up, and so did the others and saw to their surprise that Preeti stood near the door with her head down. She simply stood there and was unable to do anything. Mamta being the mother, stood up, and walked toward her and took her into her embrace and told her that everything would be fine. Preeti hugged her back while her eyes looked at prem. They both looked at each other. He saw the hurt and sadness in her eyes, but she.. She saw something else. She saw hope and love in his eyes.
After couple of minutes they nodded thank you to the doctor for the help and walked out of the hospital. Mamta told Prem that it would be better if preeti drove with him instead with her. She knew that she needed prem at this situation.
He nodded and opened the car door for Preeti, where she sat in. They drove silently, as they both did not know what to say. Preeti most of her time, looked outside at the window, at the road and people they were passing. Prem took the first step, when he had to change the gear of the car. He reached out for her hand, and put it on the gear, with his hand on hers, so they both changed it together. Preeti looked at prem and he gave her a look saying everything would be okay. She gave a small smile, and was surprised that he wasn't mad at her. But then again, this is who he is. His name did mean love after all. That was the thing that attracted her toward him. She was now somehow convinced that there would be light at the end of the tunnel. For her. For them. For the familiy.
They parked the car outside their house, and went inside. Preeti couldn't face the others right now, and was really nervous at the same time. They both walked toward the main door and saw that Ram Kishan Uncle opened it, and led them inside. She took his blessings and he told her that happiness would soon come into their life. Sangeeta, Sapna took her upstairs in her room, leaving all the men downstairs. Prem stood against the wall, arms crossed over his chest. His dad came and pattered him on the shoulder and they both had a small talk together.
Later that night, Prem came inside their room and saw that she was standing near the window, and looking outside. He came and wrapped his arms around her from behind and took her closer to himself. She placed her hands over his and they both stood there alone in their own little world. Their little world was now broken into pieces. He made her turn around so she faced him fully, and buried her face into his embrace. She could feel her tears coming from her eyes. She sobbed quietly and held on to him. They both were shocked from the news and wanted nothing but each other for comfort.
The nightcame ever slowly and all the family members were gone to sleep. Even Prem and Preeti.

Some weeks later:
In their home, they were expecting some guest from another town. It was Mrs. Saxena and her daughter, Pooja. They knew the family very well, and had a long journey with them. After some hours, finishing all the preparations for the guests, all the girls heard that Mommy jee, uncle jee and Wakeel uncle and his wife were heading for the door, so greet the guest. She came inside with her daughter, and met every one of the family. The girls came inside with some cool drinks for them and placed them on the table in front.
After some time Mrs. Saxena said: "Bhai wah, Mamta. Hadh hai. Jab bhi aata hoon, toh tum har baar itna khaana, our itni takaluf karti hoon". Mamta smiled and replayed: "Haan. Kyu nahi? Tum mehmaan jo hoyi is ghar ki. Ab aghar tum our tumhari beti ko koi cheez ki zaroorat hoon, toh kehdena". And they both laughed.
Mrs. Saxena saw all the girls and asked if they were the lucky ones who stole her boy's heart. Mamta felt proud and said yes. She introduced them one by one, and they greeted her and her daughter. Mrs. Saxena looked at Preeti and asked Mamta, if she was the one who married Prem, and she said yes. With that she looked at her daughter and gave her look saying: "Well, something is going to change now".
She, like other woman asked them if there was any good news in the family lately. Mamta told her about Preeti situation, as she was a very close friend of hers. The woman and her daughter listened very incensed to what she told them. In their mind they both wanted to be a part of this Ram Kishan family. What the mother exactly wanted was her daughter to be married with Prem. But now that they both got this news about them, they felt like they had a good chance to get to their goal.
After that, the mother and Mrs. Saxena sat and talked about old days and family life etc. The girls took Pooja with them, outside in their garden to get to know her a bit better. They asked her what she did in her life and what education she had. Suddenly Pooja sked Preeti how Prem was, by this sudden question, she got surprised and said that he was fine.
:"I mean. If you don't mind me asking, because after hearing such news that you can't become a mother, must be hard for him. Such a poor guy, that he is facing this".
Preeti couldn't form a sentence, as she was too touched by her words, and saw how it must have hurt him. Sangeeta and Sapna both looked at each other and tried to change the topic:" Uhm, andar chale? Mujhe lagta hai, khaana tayar hain". "Haan. Chalo". They all stood up and walked toward the room.
As they were about to eat, Vivek, Vinod and Prem entered the house and greeted Mrs. Saxena and her daughter. After that, they all sat around the big dining table, and ate.
Sometime later in Mrs. Saxena and Poojas room:
Pooja sat in front of a mirror and combed her hair, while asking her mom of how she thought of Preeti? "ahh, ..Thik hai. Par tumse ziyda nahi, meri bachi". She smiled and talked about how they were going to make sure that she was going to be the daughter in-law of this house replacing Preeti. They talked a bit more and then soon fell asleep.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
After some couple of days, they were going to throw a party for just the close guests. Sapna were busy with all the preparations and making sure all the music equipment's were in the right places. She did not win a music computation just for fun, after all. Soon everything was ready, and everyone was busy getting ready for the party. Mamta and uncle jee were greeting the guest in the front door, while the boys and Pritam uncle were making sure that everyone had something to drink etc.
Mrs. Saxena were talking with Vinod, about something, he then saw that preeti was doing nothing, so he called her up: "Hey preeti". She saw him and joined them in their conversation. Soon Vinod saw that he needed to take care of something, so he left, leaving just the two of them behind.
"So.. Tum ho Preeti, jisne Prem ka dil churaya hain". She smiled and blushed a bit.
"Tumhare bare mein, bohudt suna hua hai' Our tumhare hadse ke baare mein bhi".
She suddenly looked up, and was unable to say anything.
"Bhai. Har koi maa toh nahi bansakti. Koun jaane, yeh kyu hua? Nahi mere yun nahi matlab hai. Bura mat manna, par shayed isiliye ke, tum kabhi achi maa nahi bansakoon ki. Ab hum kya karein? Zara socho to. Mamta pe kya beethi hogi? Prem par kya beethi hogi. Tum, samajh rahi hoon na". With that she left her standing all alone in the crowd, considering her words.
At the same moment, Mami jaan and wakeel uncle stood at the stage at announced that it was now time for some music. They both sat down with some instruments in front of them and begin to play and sing.
While they sang, preeti slowly walked backwards with small tears in her eyes. She couldn't take this anymore. She was too weak. Her heart was not strong enough to bear all these comments on her. She turned around and ran out of the room. This got noticed by her father, Pritam uncle and chose to follow her daughter. He saw that she stopped and cried silently. He came from behind and said: "Preeti beta. Kya hua?". She turned her head around, and buried her head on his chest. He hugged her daughter and tried to console her. Prem who also saw that they both ran were not in the room, walked outside and saw them both. He did not wanted to disturb them, so he simply stood at the door way giving them enough time to talk. Pretam uncle saw that prem was standing there, and told him that he should take care of Preeti. She slowly brushed her tears away, but he could tell that she was not okay. He came in front of her and she melted into his embrace. He asked what had happened, but she told him: "Kuch nahi. Bas yuhi".
She gave a small smile and sometime later, they both came back where he was holding her hand and leading her through the crowd, passing Mrs. Saxena and her daughter, witch made them burn in jealousy.
Soon the others finished the music section and moved toward the buffet table, where all the food stood.

The next day:
It was Friday morning where everyone was up early, as they had some different things to do. Sangeeta and Anand were out to look at a house they were close to buy. They were planning on buying a house near the family as it would get a lot easier to visit them whenever they needed to. Sapna and Vinod went also with them, as they could help them choose the "right house".
Preeti was coming down the stairs to look after Sadhena. She went to the kitchen and found her while making some tea for herself and for Mamta and Mrs. Saxena. They talked for a bit and told her that she would take the tea for them in the living room. She was walking toward the room, but stopped when she overheard their conversation: "Sahi kehrahi hoon, Mamta. Tumhari dost hoon, bala mein tumhe koi buri baat toh nahi bataoongi". Mamta was in deep in thoughts, and couldn't help but consider her words.
"Agar Preeti nahi bansaki, toh Prem' Dousri shaadi kyu nahi karleta? It's very normal now days. Tum apne bete ke baarein mein socho, Mamta. Akhir Prem kyu saza sahe?".
Preeti stood shocked. What happened to her was not in her hands. If she could change it, she would do anything in her power to do it. But she couldn't. She stood there and couldn't move. She wanted to run to Prem and stay in his embrace forever, to make sure that he would be there for him.
"Nahi nahi.. Yeh nahi hoo sakta, Shoba. Preeti humari beti hai. Prem use bohudt chahta hain". She stood up, and said: "Behtar yehi hoga ke, tum yeh baat kisise na karo, Agar tum is ghar mein rehna chahti hoon, tabh".
Preeti came inside carrying a tray of tea and placed it on the table for them. She gave them both a cup. She was about to stand up, but Mamta placed a hand on her cheek and smiled to her, and told her that she should make some to herself too. She smiled back and nodded. By doing that Mamta showed her friend how good a daughter in-law she was and how much she cared for her.
Later that day, sangeeta and the others came back and told the others about a house they were thinking to buy. It was not far away from them and it was quite big for them to live there as well.
After some time, the whole family were sitting on the table and eating their dinner. After that Vinod convinced the others to go for a walk which everyone agreed to do.
Everyone was getting ready, but Prem and Preeti were not. They were in their room.
Sapna knocked on Preeti room, and saw that Prem was also inside, so she told her that she should continue what she was doing. With that she left with a big smile on her face. Prem came and hugged her from behind. She blushed and held on to him, tight. He whispered to her ear: "Aaj tum bohudt khoobsurat lagrahi hoon". She smiled and they both stood there. Again. Lost in their little word.
