Part 6
Meher inhaled the cool air outside the Juneja house. Not only was she nervous, but she was also really uncomfortable because Naina Aunty had made her wear a sari. It was still a week before the wedding but gayathri had thrown a party for Naina, Soni, Yuvraaj, and Meher's arrival. The door opened and heer lunged at meher. Gayatri warmly hugged Naina while Yuvraaj hugged prem and Kulraj hugged Soni.
Harman, lallit, and veera soon joined the group. Meher had not fully realized how much she had missed this family until this moment, but her eyes were searching for one person. Preet had gone to get mitai so he was not at home. He had taken tannu and vikas with him.( Ash is visiting her mom) Meher and Heer immediately started chatting while Kulraj introduced Soni to the many guests. Naina and gayatri were talking when a lady, Ms. Chadha, came up to them to ask about Soni and Meher. Apparently Ms. Chadha had two sons and wanted more information about Soni and Meher. Gayathri and Naina were startled.
Meher was a fumbling with her sari and shifting her gaze looking for Preet when two small bodies hugged her tightly! Tannu and Vikas! "Masi! aap kaha chale gaye the? Aur ap itni different kyun lag thi ho? Ap ne humme miss kya?" tannu said impatiently. "Itne saare sawal? Phle mujhe proper kiss do on each cheek!" Meher said. " Likin Masi ap hume phone kyun nahi karti thi?" Vikas said. Meher smiled, " kyun ke me tori si busy thi." "Itni busy ke apne best friend ke phone nahi answer kar sakthi thi?" a deep voice said. Meher turned around to find preet standing there with his arms crossed- he looked quite dapper in his black sherwani.
" Preet...tum." Meher said.
"Haan, me- kyun tum ne mujhe bhi bhula diya." Preet said
"Nahi Preet, aisi koi baat nahi hai, khair forget all this, tum kaise ho? Ash kaisi hai?" Meher said with a lump in her throat.
" Hum sab aise hi hai jaise tum chor ke gayi thi likin tum kafi badal gayi ho" Tum ne sari pehna...chuckled Preet.
"Haan tho, me achi nahi lakti hoon?" Meher said disappointed.
"mmmm...sach chahiye yah jhoot?" preet said in a teasing manner.
"Of course sach" meher said with high anticipation
"tum bohut buri lagti ho" Preet said as he began running.
As expected Meher ran after him, letting her nervousness make way for irritation for peet.
This was the reaction preet had been waiting for
