Heer looked at her mobile for the nth time that day but there wasn't any response. It has been 2 weeks since he went back. He already informed her that he might not check his mobile today as he had meetings but she was still hopeful he would message her.

She decided to watch a movie to distract herself and flipping through the channels when she came across Veer Zaara. She didn't realise when she fell alseep but woke up to the sound of "Main Yahaan Hoon" playing on the telly and saw Prem standing infront of her scooping her in his arms.

He then swirled around the living room before pulling her into a kiss. As they broke apart, Heer woke up startled.

"Ahhh I've gone completely mad... " She hit her head. She then wondered how she ended up in her room as that part of her dream was true. She did sleep on the sofa watching telly last night.

It wasn't her dream, he was truly here. She ran to his room to find out.

Last night,

He knocked on the door but there wasn't any response. He opened the door using his key. Considering that this became his second home, Heer got a key made for him. As he dragged his suitcase, he saw Heer lying on the couch with telly on and laptop resting on her.

Placing the laptop on the coffee table, he turned the telly off. He picked her up and placed her on bed before planting a quick kiss on her forehead. She must be really tired, he thought.

There he was sleeping on his stomach. He looked so cute, she thought. She quickly slipped in the bed next to him and as if on cue he turned around and snuggled closer to her.

"Good morning Prem" She gave him a quick peck.

"Mmm" He didn't want to wake up just yet.

"Premmm" She said.

"Let me sleep Heer" He said hugging her tight. She let him be. He was back after 2 weeks again and they missed each other. She caressed his face and recalled her earlier dream. A blush crept on her face and Prem opened his eyes to look at her as there was no response.

"What did I miss?" He said looking at her face.

"Why did you not wake me up last night?" She questioned him.

"You're fast asleep Heer.. didn't even realise when I picked you up." He explained her.

"I didn't know you were coming" She said.

"Really?" asked Prem

"I mean yes but Preet's graduation is on Saturday. Its only Wednesday." She said.

"Its an important day for you Heer, how can I miss it?" Prem closed his eyes and pulled her closer to him as she tried to get out.

"Wow so says the hotshot financial consultant, the raise I might get may not even afford your flight tickets over this month" She said.

He opened his eyes and looked straight into hers

"It can still fund one of my retirement retreats you know" He was so proud of her for standing on her own and it wasn't like she made any less. She already owns an apartment of her own in one of the expensive cities in the world.

"Oh is it? Anything else that you might want" She was shocked to hear his plans.

"A dinner should do for tonight. I'm sure you would take care of reservation" He kissed her and headed towards the bathroom. She left to the kitchen to have some breakfast.

"Di" She heard as she picked her mobile.

"Is he there yet?" Meher excitedly ask her. Last Sunday, Heer finally decided to let Meher know about Prem. Much to her surprise, Meher wasn't upset with her not telling her earlier. She's only been asking this question ever since then.

"Yes" She told her.

"Awww I'm so happy" Meher squealed in excitement.

xxxfew days earlierxxxx

Meher heard the door bell ring but no one seems to answer it. She opened the door to find Prem standing there.

"Hi Meher" He said. Heer did show him her family photos.

"Come in" She said not knowing why he was here.

"Did dad and Lalit uncle talk again? Ah I was so busy with my exams. Heer di would kill me for not keeping her updated." She thought as she directed him to the living room.

"Please sit." She said and Balraj walked in just then.

"Prem" He said as he put on his glasses. Balraj recognised him as Lalit did show him pictures of his family when they met.

"Lalit didn't tell me you're coming to meet" He said.

It was Prem's turn to be shocked. Heer's father knew him.

"Dad didn't know I'm coming here." Prem said unsure of how Balraj knew Lalit.

"What brings you here?" He asked.

"Uncle.. I...I..." He nervously fiddled with his hands.

"I want to marry Heer." He said in one go.

"I mean I need your permission" He asked seeing a puzzled Balraj stand up.

"Tejiiii" Balraj screamed his wife's name. Teji came running as she heard her husband scream her name loudly wondering what happened.

"Meet our son-in-law, Prem" He said pointing to a person on the sofa and that was when she noticed a very nervous handsome young man.

"Lalit would scream in joy. Let me call him" Balraj said as he dialed his number.

"Noooo" Prem screamed as he didn't want his father to find out like this.

"I mean I want to tell him..." Prem said. Balraj instructed Teji to get table ready for lunch. He then hugged Prem

"I was waiting since a year to hear this news. At-least you finally agreed." Balraj said.

"Year?" Prem was confused as it must have been just 3 months since he knew Heer.

Balraj sat talking about old times when Lalit and he were neighbours. They studied together but left their hometown due to their work. It was last year they went in their village during their old school centenary celebrations.

He then told Prem, how they thought Heer and him would make a good match but Prem wasn't interested back then.

"Did Heer know about him already?" He thought

"I met Heer in London Uncle" He said knowing Balraj was thinking Lalit would've convinced him for it.

"I love her and I wanted to ask you before I propose her for marriage" He said without disclosing much details. Balraj could sense the sincerity in Prem's eyes and was proud of his daughter's choice. Of course his as well.

"You have my blessings Prem" He asked him to join for lunch.

Prem could read the confusion on Mehers' face.

"Heer must not have told her anything, sorry I couldn't wait any longer Heer..." He thought.

She was going to kill him if she knew Meher knew about him before Heer told her herself. He needed to talk to Meher.

"Meher we need to talk" He said as she sat beside him.

"Why don't I give him a tour of the house?" Meher offered and Balraj agreed. She took him straight to Heer's room.

"Tell me everything" She said as she closed the door and crossed her arms.

"I would leave the details to Heer. Let me just say we're seeing each other and I think its about time I propose her." He was quite intimidated by Mehers' angry look.

"Ah she's so dead... She kept denying it every time I asked her if she met you after those two weeks. She told me everything till then and then kept saying a friend is visiting her and all.. So you're that friend??" It all made sense to Meher now.

"I'm sure she'll tell you when she's ready. You're her darling sister" Prem tried to back Heer and calm down Meher. Heer was calling Meher.

"Its her. Do you want to hear her lie?" Meher put in on speaker.

"I love Prem Meher... I miss him so much.. I want to marry him" Heer screamed.

Prem was grinning while Meher smiled at him embarrassed.

"Di.." She tried to calm down her sister but Prem signaled her no.

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier. Prem has been visiting me over past few months and I seem to go have gone completely mad in his love.

I keep staring at the door imagining him to walk in any moment. I don't know if I can carry on like this anymore." Heer admitted to Meher.

The glow on his face told Meher how much her sister loved him. She was shocked when he leaped forward and engulfed her in a sudden hug. Kissing her on forehead, he mouthed a quick "Thank you" leaving the sisters to talk privately.

"Say something Meher" Heer was waiting for her sister's response. Although she was disappointed that her sister kept her in dark, after what she witnessed all was forgiven.

"I'm so so so happy for you Di... However,I still need all details of whatever happened" Meher squealed in excitement.

He was having lunch with her parents. Meher came and sat beside him.

"I didn't tell her you're here" Meher whispered.

"Thanks" said Prem.

"On one condition" Meher said. Prem raised his eyebrows in askance.

"I get to name your first born jiju" He looked at her in shock.

"I might not even be your jiju if I promise any such thing. Your sister would literally kill me. Second one may be" He chuckled.

"Deal" She said.

Prem helped Teji with clearing the table. Once they were in kitchen, he asked her.

"I'm going to London this week for Preet's graduation aunty. Do you want to give her anything?" She would have been prepared if she knew earlier but gave him some snacks that she made previously.

"She loves my gajar ka halwa" Teji recalled how much Heer loves the carrot halwa she made.

"If you give me the recipe, I can make it for her." He said seeing Teji lost in thought. Teji knew he would keep his daughter happy seeing his concern for her.

11. Jealous

Prem was working from home. His mother walked into his room checking her mobile. Seeing him busy on a call, she settled on the sofa in a corner and went back to checking her mobile.

"Ma" He rested his head in her lap. Gayatri massaged his head. Heer does the same he thought but it relaxed him.

"How's Preet doing?" His mother asked him.

"He's doing well. I'm going for his graduation." Prem excitedly told her.

"I know. He wanted us there but we've a wedding to attend. Besides, you're going so I'm sure it'll be fine." Gayatri told him.

"Did he tell you about anyone? I mean anyone special in his life?" She asked him breaking the silence as Prem was enjoying her massage eyes closed.

"No... why? did he tell you?" Prem was surprised that his mother took sudden interest in Preet's love life leaving him alone.

"I.. I was just checking some of the pictures he sent... There seems to be this girl.. She seems nice... I was thinking if you can find out about her.."

"Maaa seriously?" His mother wanted him to be a match maker for his little brother.

"Look at her once I'm sure you'll feel the same..." She tried to convince Prem. Knowing his mother won't leave him alone, he sat up straight and asked her to show him.

It was a picture of Preet with a group of friends. It must be at that charity event last week he thought. Heer told him about it.

His eyes rested only on Heer in the picture and when Gayatri pointed at her, he looked at his mother bewildered.

"She is older than Preet ma.. " He said trying to divert her.

"Do I look that old fashioned to you? It doesn't matter these days even if girls are elder. Something tells me she'll be a perfect bahu for me." Gayatri seemed so sure it shocked Prem.

Before she can say anything, Prem held her hand and said "I'm not arguing if she'll be perfect or not but she's already taken."

"Taken? You mean she's seeing someone? How do you know?" Gayatri quizzed him.

"I met her while I was there. She works in the same company as Preet." Prem told her trying to explain the right way.

"Whats' her name?" She asked.

"Heer" A smile automatically crept on his face.

"Nice name. So, did you meet this guy? Do you think they're serious? I mean is there a chance they might break up?" She probed further but a call interrupted their discussion.

Prem looked at the caller and his mother unsure of what to do. Gayatri asked him to take the call and left from there. Once the call ended, Prem knew he had to talk to his mother before things go terribly wrong.

Heer was busy texting Meher when Preet came and sat beside her.

"Hey Heer... what did you get?" He said while pulling her lunchbox. It was usual for them to swap lunch. Heer would eat his canteen lunch and he would take her box.

"Ah bhindi.. great!! Where do you even find this stuff?" He said while digging in.

"Preet what's this garbage?" She asked looking at the plate he got. He just dumped whatever he found on his plate.

"It's food Heer.. I'm sure you can find something to eat in it" He said busy eating her box.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time... I think I need to set up PB on a date. You know he's always busy, it's about time he finds someone" He said deeply engrossed in thought.

Heer looked at him in shock. She didn't know what to say.

"I think I know just the right person. Can't wait for my graduation." A smile formed on his face and he looked at Heer. Heer just sat there wondering what Preet was upto.

xxxx

Prem joined his parents at the table for dinner. They seem to be happily discussing something and once Prem sat down,

"Do you know Heer is your father's childhood friend Balraj's daughter?" Gayatri told him.

"I can't believe it. She's working with Preet. Ah small world.. I was so happy to meet him last year. I saw his family picture and thought Heer would be perfect for you but you were not..." Lalit was disappointed.

"On bright side, she's already friends with Preet... how about we talk to Balraj ji about Preet?" Gayatri suggested Lalit.

"Not a bad idea" Lalit agreed.

"Ma I told you she already likes someone." Prem tried to interrupt the conversation.

"How are you so sure? What if he's not the right guy? I mean these days couples break up so easily over small things." Gayatri wasn't ready to give up.

"Ma I'm him and yes we're very serious about each other. I want to marry her' Prem said closing his eyes and holding his breath before his mom gets any more ideas.

He opened his eyes when his mother said, "So, you mean to say I needn't worry as she's going to be my daughter-in-law anyways"

"So, I better make preparations for your move then?" She asked him as he hugged her.

"You're okay if I move there. I mean would you mind?" He asked her as he was not sure if Heer was prepared for the move.

"Why would I?" She said.

"It would be better you know, both my sons being there to support each other. Besides, I can do with some holidays there" She chuckled.

"Thanks ma.."

"So you ultimately went with my choice then" Lalit was proud.

"I didn't know it was her dad" He said.

"It all worked out in the end. That's what matters. Preet must have been elated." Gayatri chipped in.

"He doesn't know yet" Prem was embarrassed to keep his brother out of loop.

"I'm sure he'll figure it out when you go" His mother assured him.

"Between Teji asked me to send some laddoo for my daugther-in-law" Gayatri pointed to a box on the table.

"So, all this talk was just to wind me up." Prem couldn't believe his parents would do that.

Prem was eating breakfast when Heer came out all dressed.

‘All the best’ He kissed her but didn’t want to leave her yet.

‘I’m getting late Prem. See you tonight. I’ll text you the address.’ She ran away.

He sighed and left to work.

Later that evening, he walked into the restaurant to find her waiting for him.

‘Congratulations!!” He said as he noticed the surroundings. The restaurant was on the top floor of a building with views across the city.

“How do you know?” She said.

“You don’t splash out so easily Heer” He said knowing Heer’s quite modest like his mother when it comes to spending money.

Among her many virtues was her ability to blend in any environment which attracted him to her.

“I don’t like fine dining. It’s way too formal and rigid” She said waiting for their main course to arrive.

“I know Heer but it’s not every day you get a promotion. Besides we go to our local pub out of boredom as well sometimes so what’s special about that.” He said.

Honestly they would have been just as happy eating at a local pub but he wanted it to be a bit more special for her and be proud of her achievements.

“So, how are the preparations for Preet’s surprise party on Sunday coming along?” Prem asked her. He felt bad that he left all the work on her when it was him who should be doing that.

“I did invite all his friends here and texted to some of his friends back home. You better check on them. The venue had a dance floor and comes with food and drinks. I’ll text you details. Deposit needs to be paid tomorrow.” She could that much for Preet, her best friend and soon to be family. She smiled at the thought.

“Did I miss anything?” He asked seeing her blush.

“Nothing” She didn’t understand his sudden question.

He signaled her to lean forward and then rubbed her cheek with his hand.

“It’s not food. You seem to be blushing for some reason” He said as he wondered what she thought that made her blush so much.

“Premmm”

“I think I’m going to skip dessert.” He didn’t fancy anything.

“I’m not going to share” She said.

He didn’t have a sweet tooth but that doesn’t stop him from digging into her dessert. As he gobbled down half of it, she gave him an angry look.

“I’m helping you by taking down some calories. You’ve been eating way too many laddoos.” He chuckled.

“Shut up Prem” She hit him on his arm.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Heer went ahead while checking for the trains on her mobile app. She realised Prem wasn't with her and turned back to see him hugging someone. She could also see Preet beside Prem. Before she could do anything, Preet spotted her and screamed

"Heeeeer"

Preet reached to her.

"How's she?" He asked her pulling her into a hug. She noticed a pretty girl talking to Prem now.

"That's Sanjana.. PB's childhood friend. They went to school and college together. Perfect for PB." He said.

Preet introduced her to Heer.

“Heer meet Sanjana.” They shaked hands.

"I thought you were coming over weekend. How come you're here PB?" Preet asked Prem.

"I had to come early due to work and was catching up with a colleague for dinner. I thought I texted you that I came" He said not sure of what to say.

"I met Sanjana for dinner and we were planning to surprise you over weekend but you surprised us" Preet said.

"Let's go to this pub then since we're all here instead of standing here" Sanjana said pointing to a pub.

"I'll leave" Heer said not wanting to join.

"Ah Heer sorry I forgot. What are you doing here?" Preet turned his attention back to her.

"I.. I was here to meet a friend for dinner. It's already late and I've to go to work early tomorrow" Heer said.

"I'll see you guys later" She said bye to everyone and left.

Before Prem could stop her, Sanjana dragged him from there.

"Home yet?" Her mobile buzzed as she rested on her bed.

"Yes" She texted.

"Will come tomorrow. Preet wants me to go with him. I'm sorry" He replied.

"That's fine" She replied.

Next 2 days passed in a jiffy as Heer was busy with her work due to new responsibilities and Preet kept Prem busy with Sanjana and his shopping.

It was Saturday morning and Heer woke up to a very familiar aroma. She made her way to the kitchen to see Prem transferring carrot halwa into a bowl from pan.

"Atleast brush your teeth Heer" He said when he saw her reaching for a spoon.

She took a spoonful and closed her eyes as she reminsced the taste.

"Tastes just like my mom's. Where did you find this recipe? Mom is so particular not to share with me so that I go to her for it." She said.

As she tried to reach for another spoonful, Prem hid it from her.

"This isn't for breakfast." He reprimanded her.

"Premmm I want it now" She was adamant as well.

"This is for a special..." He bit his tongue.

"For?" Heer looked at him in suspicion.

"Aren't we getting late? The train leaves in an hour Heer and it takes 15 min to get there. Get ready quick" He put the bowl in fridge and pushed her to her room.

“You look very pretty Heer” He said as they settled on the train.

“You don’t look too bad yourself.. you should let me buy more stuff for you” She said adjusting his cuff links.

He noticed she was wearing the earrings he got for her and traced her ear with his finger.

“Stop it Prem. There are people around.” She said.

She held his hand in hers tight to stop him from doing anything.

“What’s with you today?” She said as she noticed him busy staring at her.

“I don’t know I just feel so lucky to be with you” He said.

“There’s something fishy. What is it?” She asked knowing he was just buttering her up.

“I am going to Amsterdam next week, will you join me? I need a holiday Heer” He stated.

“I’ve scheduled few takeover meetings Prem. I’m afraid I can't cancel them” She felt bad to decline him. This was the first time he asked her to join him.

Prem didn’t know what made him do that. He knew she would be busy in her role and was holding back to ask her but it’s finally out.

“That’s fine Heer. I’m sure we can plan something next month” He said looking at her dejected face.

“Sorry” She said.

“Heer please don’t apologise. It makes me feel bad to ask you anything. If it doesn’t work out, we can plan something later. What’s wrong with that.” He calmed her down.

"I've got something for you" He pulled a box out of his bag.

"Ah halwa.. you got this for me or.." She raised an eyebrow opening the box.

"Who else would I get it for?" He asked her.

"I don't know... You seem to be meeting some old friends" She said taking a bite of her halwa.

"Friends?? Ahhhh now I get it..." A smile appeared on his face.

"What?" She didn't understand why there was a mischievous smile on his face.

“Nothing.... Are you ready to be my guide again?” He smiled as they approached the station.

“Do you have to ask? This was where it all started for me.” She was excited to be there.

As they walked towards Preet’s college, Heer showed him the place where she used to stay, her college and few other places of interest.

“You know this clock. It was in the song in the movie Pa” She said.

“I’m not a Bollywood buff like you but if you say so.” Prem teased her when she threw random Bollywood trivia at various places.

They saw Preet in a black robe with people around him, ready to go. He waved at them.

“They’re going to walk from the college till the main hall where the ceremony takes place.” She said as they walked behind the group cheering along with others. Prem took pictures to send to his parents.

The ceremony was over and Preet joined them. They took few fun pictures and Preet directed them to go to a pub down the street where he’ll join them after few pictures with his batch mates.

They got seated and Prem was playing with her fingers. They saw Preet walk in with Sanjana.

“There you are!! Order quickly I want to take you guys somewhere” Preet said.

"Are you here next week Prem?" Sanjana asked him as they were eating.

"I don't know yet Sanju" He said as he didn't plan what to do.

"It's Sam and Sriya's marriage. I thought we could go together" She said hoping they'll be able to catch up with their old friends.

"I forgot. Sam would kill me if I missed it. Thanks for reminding me." He said checking his reminders.

They started reminscing college days when Sam tried various attempts to woo Sriya.

Preet said

“Why don’t you guys find a table and catch up while Heer and I get drinks?”

Heer went along with Preet while Sanjana and Prem were busy recollecting memories.

Once they got back, the music was slow and Sanjana asked Prem for a dance. Preet took Heer to the dance floor.

“So, what do you think?” Preet asked.

“About what Preet?” Heer was confused.

“Them” He said pointing to Prem and Sanjana.

“I told you I'll find someone for PB” Preet said.

Heer didn’t know what to say.

“Jealous are you?” He asked as she turned silent.

“Why will I be jealous Preet?” She asked him.

G3 is thinking to set up preet with Heer. Thank God Prem himself told his parents about Heer and him. Prem was kind of jealous 😆

And at the end you made Heer jealous😉 off ho preet you really need some good eyesight. Why are you thinking of someone else for your pb when Heer was there?

Updated soon kavya

P.S. - Really sorry for late reply...I was kind of busy with some family function.

12. Yes

“Come on Heer.. don’t pretend now” Preet looked straight into her eyes.

“So you know?” She asked him.

“I can only be blind if I didn’t notice how you too act around each other.” He figured it out that day when they met for lunch but waited patiently for one of them to disclose it but his patience has worn out now. He even got Sanjana just to mess around with them but still they keep pretending.

“So, what do you think?” She asked him.

“My brother and my best friend!! This doesn’t usually happen to guys so you know. I don’t think I can call you Bhabhi but you’re the best Bhabhi I can ever get” He gave her a million dollar smile.

“You have my blessing if that’s what you’re waiting for” Preet grinned and Heer hit him.

“Before PB kills me for keeping you guys apart for so long, let me hand you over to him” He walked over to Prem and put Heer’s hand in his.

“Shall we go out?” She whispered in his ears.

Once they reached riverside, Heer dragged Prem into a punt(boat) and then settled down to sit.

As they glided through the river, the beautiful college gardens and cooing of the birds filled the atmosphere with certain calmness. Heer rested her head on his shoulder. Prem took Heer's hand into his and said

"I don’t think I can spend any more weeks apart looking to make as many memories in the time we get to spend together.

I want to be there for you all the time. I want to be able to kiss you when I wake up everyday, tease you, fight with you and make up to you.

Will you.... ?”

"Yes" She said before he can continue further.

Then, he pulled her into a kiss. They broke apart to the cheering of the crowd. As the ride came to end, they got out.

“I was very close to asking you myself” Heer confessed as they broke apart after a kiss.

“I know but you didn't even let me finish." He grinned.

“Ah there you are lovebirds” Preet came looking for them.

“Congratulations” He hugged them both as he noticed a ring on her finger.

“I don’t want to be a party popper, I’m going home. See you guys tomorrow” He hugged them again knowing it’s important for them to be alone.

They decided to go back as well as they need to sort out things for party tomorrow.

“I said yes” Heer texted Meher on the train.

“Yayyyy” Her sister almost immediately replied back.

“I can’t wait for the wedding Di... Mom has already started shopping ” Meher couldn’t control her excitement but then realised what she just did.

Her mother knew about it already, Heer was trying to process the information when Prem called her out.

“Heer I was asked to give you something” Prem handed over her a small box. As she opened the box and saw it contents

“When did you visit my parents Prem?” She asked understanding the situation. There was a chain belonging to her father. Her mother always joked that she would give it to her son-in-law.

“I had to make sure I had their permission. You know just in case you said no, they might have been able to persuade you.” He smirked.

“So, now you’re scheming things behind my back. Do your parents know as well?” She knew the answer but just wanted to confirm.

“Yea Mom freaked me out so I had to confess.” He explained her what happened.

“Serves you right” She said. She might need to learn a trick or two from her future mother-in-law to handle him.

“And...” He didn’t know how to tell her.

“And what?” She didn’t know why he was so nervous.

“I was there when you called Meher” He said as he noticed her stare at him in complete shock.

"Heer, it was Meher who put you on speaker and I couldn’t control myself." Prem tried to calm her down.

“I promise it wasn’t the whole conversation, just the beginning.” She was trying to hit him but his pout melted her.

“How come Meher didn’t tell me you were there?” Heer asked him once they calmed down.

“Ah that” He closed his eyes.

“What else did you do now? She asked. The shocks doesn’t seem to end.

“I might have promised her the rights to name our second born” He said in one go and she looked at him as if he’s gone completely crazy.

“Look she asked for the first but I negotiated down to second for you.”

“I just don’t know what to say” She was lost for words.

“Who am I getting married to?” She hit her head.

Xxx

Prem called Preet to the venue on the pretext to celebrate his proposal. Preet was genuinely surprised to see all his friends. He thanked them both and went to catch up with his friends who flew all the way here for him.

He joined Heer, who sat in a corner having some chai.

“Welcome to the family” He said as he handed her a box.

“Thanks Preet” She was touched to see a beautiful bracelet.

“I heard you rejected the role of delivery manager.” He said looking into her eyes as she avoided his gaze.

She sighed and said, “It involved lot of travel Preet and you know me.. I hate travelling.”

“Heer don’t lie to me” He could tell she was diverting the topic.

“We can’t be both travelling Preet. Did you know he’s moving here? It’s not very fair to expect more from him.” She said knowing Prem’s busy schedule.

“But..” Preet said.

“Between you should be happy as your charming boss Clive took it up. He won’t be bothering you anymore.” Heer tried to relax Preet.

“Really but still you would have been...” Preet was super excited to know that.

“I read somewhere that not all decisions can be made rationally, you need to follow your heart as well. Don’t worry I got the better end of the deal, I’m going to take over your team as well.. meet your new boss” She said pointing to herself.

“OMG I would rather work with Clive” Preet said knowing her bossy attitude.

“Oh dear me... you’ve got total control to boss me over both personally and professionally.”

“You better not mess with me anymore” She patted his cheek.

Prem joined them and asked what’s going on seeing Preet’s dejected face.

“Ask your wifey to be.. I better not mess with her” Preet left.

Prem looked at her as she was trying on the bracelet.

“It’s beautiful , isn’t it?” She asked him and he agreed.

“I heard you guys Heer” He stated and asked her why she didn’t tell him.

“I’m more happy with this role Prem and I mean it.” She said sincerely.

“Between I got you added to my council tax statement so you can use it as a proof of address for now and start any paperwork you might need to do.” She told him.

“That was quick considering I proposed you just yesterday.” He grinned.

“Wasn’t it obvious that you’re going to? I’ve started receiving some financial magazines and journals addressed to you in my post.” She winked.

“So you read my interview?” He asked as it made sense to him that she was quoting him over the following the heart statement.

"Yes I came across it when I was flipping through the magazine pages. I thought it was my post, didn't check it was addressed to you." She confessed.

"I was approached to write a column on the uncertain economic conditions following Brexit and for a brief interview. I didn't realise I put down your address when they asked for local address." He told her.

She simply hugged him in response.

It was one week since he was back home. Work kept him very busy as he started his transition for permanent move. His mother ordered him to be back home early that day and he had to obediently agree. He could hear the laughter from outside and wondered what was going on as he walked towards the living room.

"Prem" Balraj got up from his seat and came forward to hug him followed by Teji.

Before he could say anything, Gayatri asked him to go and freshen up.

"Your clothes are on the bed. Go change" She said in his ears.

He walked into his room and saw a sherwani on his bed. As he stood there lost in thought, his eyes were blinded by a pair of hands and he immediately caught hold of it and twisted it across so she landed in his arms.

"What are you doing here Heer?" He hugged her.

"Spying on you" She whispered in his ear.

"And what did you find?" He said pulling out.

"Hmm that there's a girl you're crazy about." She said picking up a photo frame near his bedside.

"And who is this girl?" He said hugging her from back.

"The one you're getting engaged to today" She said pointing to her in the frame.

"Wait aren't we already engaged?" It didn't make any sense to him.

"I know but our parents want us to do it traditionally again." She said turning back as she snuggled closer to him.

"When did you come? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He was miffed a bit.

"I wanted to surprise you. Now get ready quickly before Preet and Meher come running for us." She kissed his cheek.

"Wait. Preet is here as well." He didn't see him downstairs.

"Yes he is. Preet and Meher are out to pick my bua and your chacha and masi" She told him.

"When did they plan all this?" He was shocked that his mother managed to make all arrangements without him knowing.

"My parents asked me to come asap 3 days ago. It was when I came here I found out about all the arrangements." She explained him.

He headed to the bathroom to get ready while Heer went downstairs.

Prem joined Heer at the dining table who sat with their mom's busy arranging laddoos in a plate. She signaled that he looks good while he sent a blow kiss to her. While they were busy flirting with each other through signs, Preet and Meher walked in.

"We're here" Preet declared grabbing everyone's attention.

Gayatri welcomed the guests and after everyone settled down, the families performed the rituals as guided by the pandit and Heer, Prem exchanged rings.

"There is one more thing left" Heer declared as she handed her mother the box.

"Mom it's your gift. Why don't you give it yourself?" She whispered in her ear.

"Welcome to the family son" Teji put the chain around his neck and hugged him.

"Thanks ma" Prem replied and she left happy.

It was dinner time. Preet and Meher kept Prem busy while Heer sat with Gayatri.

"Why don't you have some motichoor laddoo Heer? I know you like them" Gayatri served her while she gave a embarrassed smile.

"What else do you like beta? If you give me a list, I can send things as per that when Prem or Preet are coming." She continued.

"It's okay ma" Heer said timidly.

"Can you be my friend Heer?" Gayatri asked her while Heer looked at her confused.

"I don't have a daughter but you do have a mother so expecting us both to share a mother-daughter relationship is unrealistic, better to be friends. If we ever annoy each other, it's easier to forgive a friend rather than a mother-in-law isn't it?" Gayatri laughed.

"Friends" Heer extended her hand in response and Gayatri shook it.

"What's going on here?" Preet joined them.

"Nothing" Heer said.

"Beware of your MIL Heer. She's one dangerous lady, always one step ahead." Preet tried to scare her.

"Well she had to be to handle you and your brother" Heer retorted and Gayatri pulled her into a side hug.

"Ah ganging up on us already" Prem joined Preet.

"PB couldn't you have found a better Bhabhi for me?" He said earning a slap from Heer.

"Didn't you say I was the best?" Heer questioned Preet.

"Well you weren't my boss then so I didn't know..." He said before he ran away.

"Well I better go and find him" Gayatri said before leaving them alone.

"When are you flying back?" He asked as he sat down beside her.

"Whenever you want" She said eating her food.

"You haven't booked it?" He looked at her surprised.

"Well I thought you'd want to come with me" She replied.

"Sunday then?" He asked.

"Cool" She replied.

"So, where are you treating us?" Meher joined them.

"Treat?" They asked at once.

"You got engaged. Besides you kept it a secret for so long, we deserve to be treated well." Meher said.

"I agree" Preet joined them.

"Lets go somewhere tomorrow then" Prem said.

"That'll do for starters but Heer di you have to convince mom and dad to send me with you for holidays" Meher said.

"But you have to prepare for..." Heer was cut of middle by Prem.

"Done. One of us can help her with the prep Heer." He said.

"Fine then" Heer gave up. She went and sat with their parents who were busy discussing about ceremony.

He signaled her to come up but she denied. He asked her again but she shook her head in a no. Giving up, he went and sat beside her taking her hand in his. She pulled out indicating others are around. While they were busy fighting with eyes, their parents suddenly asked them

"Do you guys agree?" They looked at each other in shock as they weren't concentrating on what was going on.

"Yea..yes" They said together.

G3 is thinking to set up preet with Heer. Thank God Prem himself told his parents about Heer and him. Prem was kind of jealous 😆

And at the end you made Heer jealous😉 off ho preet you really need some good eyesight. Why are you thinking of someone else for your pb when Heer was there?

Updated soon kavya

P.S. - Really sorry for late reply...I was kind of busy with some family function.

Thank you.. sorry I was busy with guests as well... Preet is crazy 😉

First of all so sorry for late reply. My maternal grandmother has just passed away 4 days back so I was kind of down and not in the mood to do anything.

As far as the part is concerned, it's wonderful. I certainly didn't expect that Prem would propose to Heer so suddenly but it was so cute and romantic at the same time.

Really loved how Preet pushed Heer to confession. Ohh so he knew already but was waiting to be known by either of them.

Preet and Heer's convo about Bhabhi and Boss was really cool😎well now she could boss over him personally and professionally😆

The Sudden and surprised engagement was too good. Loved how g3 arranged it all with Heer and family but didn't inform Prem and his reaction was like🤣.

Waiting for Prem moving in to Heer's apartment and their marriage.

Update soon😊
