..Preet.

Next morning I opened my eyes with great difficulty since they were all swollen.
I got up and looked around surprised to find my Brother, my parents, Meera Maa and Papa and my friends around.

"What did I do?" I asked in confusion because last I remember is crying to sleep.
Meera maa instantly hugged me and started crying.
"What happened?" I mouthed to Papa and he replied in the same manner,
"Overreacting." He said and I let out a chuckle.

"Are you fine?" My dad asked.

"Yeah, absolutely." I replied.

"Then, why are your eyes so red and swollen?" Aryan pointed out.

"So all this because I cried a bit?" I said motioning to the crowd in my room.

"Guys trust me I am fine, I was just a bit upset that's it." I assured them and half of them descended down while Aryan was still next to me holding me because he knew I needed it.

"I am still kicking his Ass." Papa said as he was about to leave the room and I laughed. Then I turned around to look at my friends. Kavya sat next to me and said,
"I am so sorry Preet, Kabir shouldn't have ditched the function."

"Look who is apologizing." I said to lighten the mood.

"Guys, I am absolutely fine. Get back to work. It is Diwali tomorrow go and shop and do not irritate me." I said.

After another hour of them assuring that I was fine they left but I was sure they were just downstairs.

Once everyone left and it was only me and Aryan, he sat across me and featherly touched beneath my eyes.

"Why did you cry?" He asked taking me in a hug.

"I don't know." I answered sincerely.

After I was done with him he left for me to get ready and dressed in a white and blue punjabi suit and walked down.

I got down and then Kavya and Anya pulled me out of the house saying they had to go shopping.
Abhi and Zayn too accompanied.I was dead sure my friends were just trying to divert my mind.

We returned back by the evening and currently I was in my kitchen when I heard his voice. Turning around I found Aryan on the phone with him.

"I am not talking to him!" I pointed out without any further questioning.

Aryan was on the call for the next 2 minutes and then turned the phone on loud speaker. I completely ignored it because of 2 reasons.
First I was angry and second I was curious as to why he ditched such an occasion.

"Aryan, get out." I heard him on the phone and for once my brother did as asked.

I was quite all the time within 5 minutes he broke the silence.

"Hmmmm."

"Hmm" was my reply

"Mrs. Malhotra?" He pointed.

"Sorry wrong number it is Miss Preet Saxena." I replied in arrogance.

"No, it's Mrs. Preet Kabir Malhotra. The one who is angry right now because of which she is cooking to divert her mind. Has her hair set up in a messy bun. The kitchen is completely messy and a shit load of food is already ready."

I turned around trying to find a camera or something since all his guesses were right.

"I know you Mrs. Malhotra."

"Then you should know that I am not at all interested in talking to you and so I am hanging up." I retorted and hung the phone. Soon I switched the gas off and walked up to my room and found the stupid ass of my fiancee sitting on my bed comfortably.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" I asked him totally irritated.

"Shortcake, I am sorry just listen to me." He pleaded.

"Sorry my ass." I replied and descended downstairs where once again the whole of my family, the Malhotra's and my friends were standing. I was getting down when I heard him tune a guitar and start singing.

I Wanna Make It Up To You, Pretty Baby
Make It Up To You.
I Wanna See You Smile
I Wanna See You Smile
I Wanna Make It Up To You.

(He descended downstairs while my friends locked me in a human chained circle.)

O Meri Jaan Na Lele Ke Meri Jaan
O Meri Jaan Na Lele Ke Meri Jaan
Teri Ada
Teri Ada
Jaan Jala Na Tujhe Pe Deewana
Jaan Jala Na Tujhe Pe Deewana
Mein Hoon Fida
Mein Hoon Fida

(He came in between to where I was standing held my waist with one hand pulling me closer while the other hand undid my bun.)

Gusstaki Maaf Karde
Abb Tho Insaaf Karde
Apna Dil Saaf Karde
Kehna Tho Maan Le
O
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
J

aane Bhi De

Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
(

Suddenly he fell on his knees joining his hands and pleading making a puppy face. While my friends were moving around us.)

Come On Smile Now...
Come On Smile Now...
(

I broke the chain and walked up to my brother but unfortunately he too was a traitor. Holding my face he motioned to me to smile along the lines he sung.),

Gussa Tera Jhootha
Jhoothi Moothi Berukhi Hai
Jaanu Main To Jaanu
Teri Naa Mein Haan Chupi Hai
Gussa Tera Jhootha
Jhoothi Moothi Berukhi Hai
Jaanu Main To Jaanu
Teri Naa Mein Haan Chupi Hai
(

Kabir walked up to where I was held my wrist and turned and twisted it behind me and came dangerously close to me.)

Aye Sanaam na
Kar Sitam
Tujhko Khuda
Ka Vasta

(I freed myself from his grip and pushed him walking ahead towards the stairs.)

Hey..
Gusstaki Maaf Karde
Abb To Insaaf Karde
Apna Dil Saaf Karde
Kehna To Maan Le
Ho..
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De

(He followed me dancing all the way behind me all the way to the terrace with my friends trailing behind)

Hai
Tanha Na Kategi Zindgani Jaanle Tu
Meri Bhi Zarurat Tujhko Hogi Maanle Tu
Tanha Na Kategi Zindgani Jaanle Tu
Meri Bhi Zarurat Tujhko Hogi Maanle Tu.

(He caught hold of me and twisted both of us in some stupid salsa move, dropping me at the end.)

Mar Ke Bhi Na Chodunda TEri Baahien Tera Raasta
(

And then he went and stood on the edge of the terrace parapet while I panicked a bit and started pulling him down.)

Gu.Gu.Gu..Gusstaki Maaf Karde
Abb To Insaaf Karde
Apna Dil Saaf Karde
Kehna To Maan Le
O
(

Because of my constant pulls he lost his balance ending up falling on me. I closed my eyes in fear but he held both of us in such a way that non of us were hurt. I was beneath him with his hands on my neck and back while I held his shoulders.)

Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De
Jaane Bhi De Jo Bhi Hua
Jaane Bhi De

Come On Smile Now...
(

He again sang looking deep in my eyes, coming out the daze I pushed him off me getting up and walking out)

I was almost at the door of the terrace when I heard him cry in pain.
"Ouchh." He cried holding his right hand.

"Ohh, crap." I cursed and ran towards him.

How could I be so careless his hand was still recovering.

I moved everyone aside and sat next to him. All my friends moved aside in confusion.

"Shit shit shit Kabir. I am so sorry, it's all because of me. I am so sorry. How can I be so careless. Just move your hand. Raise it up." I kept on blabbering trying to keep constant movement for his hand.
"Let's get an x-ray done Kabir. I am scared. Is it movable? "

"Shhh shhs shs Preet. I am fine." He said putting a stop to my non stop banter.

"But Kabir your hand."

"It didn't hurt much. I am fine and there is no lapse trust me." He assured.
He slowly cupped my face and then it struck me that I was angry, so I moved back.

"Don't show me your face."
I shouted and then got up and moved towards the door. I tried opening it but to my dismay it didn't open I turned around and the next sight made me shout.

"Ahhhhhh." I shouted closing my eyes tight.

"Hey, hey it's me." Kabir assured moving the white sheet from his face.

"What the hell were you doing?" I asked him as I started hitting him on his chest.

He held both my hand and then said.

"You asked me not to show my face." He explained.

"So you decided to do this?" I asked motioning to the sheet with which he had covered his face earlier.

He nodded and then said.
"Smart naa!"

I gave him a sarcastic smile and turned towards the door trying to open it.

"It won't open until and unless you listen to me." He stated as he got settled down on the floor.

All this while I didn't notice that Kabir had already motioned everyone to leave.
It was one of the reasons why both of us were locked at the terrace.

NO, wait.

I was locked up at the terrace with Him because he decided so.

Having no other option left I sat next to him and motioned him to speak.
