Dil Ko Choo Liya...

Building bridges..

Heer stood in the kitchen confused and lost in her thoughts…She didn't have an idea what would happen when she'll see her mom. Her hands were drying off the plates with a towel but her mind was in a turmoil.

"ummmm...Phir se sochne lagi?"

She was startled and turned to see Prem grinning with his arms folded on his chest.

"Prem aapne to mujhe dara hi diya…plate toot jaati toh…"

"waise tum khayalon main khoyi thi, plate to tootne hi waala tha ...maine bacha liya…tumhe to mujhe thank you karna chahiye…."

"woh woh…mein.."

"Pata hai,Veera aunti ki intezaar ho rahi hai….hai na….aur yehi soch ke tension main ho...main ne kaha na darne ki koi baat nahi hai"

He reached out and patted her hands .

They heard a car approaching and Prem started to move to the hall.
A tug on his sleeves stopped him and he turned.'

"Prem…mujhe bohot dar lag rahi hai"

Heer was holding on to his sleeves as if only he could comfort her.Prem felt such a tender affection seeing her large eyes flutter in apprehension....

He lifted her face with his fingers and made her look into his eyes.

"Kuch nahi hoga…tum apne ap ko sambhal paogi….don't worry..!"

Both reached the hall. Heer's eyes were blurred as she looked up to see a tall gorgeous lady in a yellow designer saree with red half sleeve blouse,her hair perfectly put up ,with simple but elegent jewellary,with an authoritative air walk in.

"Prem beta,maine der to nahi lagaya naa.Lalit ne phone kiya tha ki tum yahaan aaye ho.Lekin Balraj kaha gaya…?"

"Woh uncle kisi important kaam ke liye bahar gaya hai.Maine unse mil liya hai aunty…"

"Ha mujhe khoob pata hai unka important kaam kya hai…club main hoga…aur wo bhi tumhare papa ke saath…"

She said with a smile..

"Aane do unko..! tumhe yahaan bore hone keliye chod diya aur khud maza le rahe hai"

"Nahi aunty bore kahaan hua..Heer thi na…."

Prem mentally kicked himself .

"wo aunty waise main Heer ko yahaan chodne aaya tha ..socha aap se bhi milkar jaau"

Veera was intently watching Heer who was staring at her even without blinking.

"Kya naam bataya iska…"

"Heer"

"ummm…."

Veera mumbled under her breath.

"…Heer…"

As Veera seemed to think something Prem slightly nudged Heer to wake her up.

Heer got the cue and came forward.

"Good evening ma'm.Mr Lalit juneja sent me here as you needed an assistant…"
