Armaan completely ignored Shaurya. He wasn't looking interested in talking to Shaurya. On the other hand before Shaurya could even stop Armaan from coming in, he came in...rather sidelined Shaurya and came in. Nehal, Mehak and Shaurya were just too shocked to react.
He came in, kept the bouquet on the centre table along with the gigantic card he had brought with himself. All the others were just looking at him wide eyed rather they were staring him with anger. He bent down a little and did the unimaginable...he claimed Mehak's lips for kiss. Mehak was not responding, nor was she pushing him away. All the memories were coming back to her, everything till accident and the humiliation she faced at the hands of him, his family and even her family. Meanwhile Shaurya pushed him away and punched him hard in his gut. Shaurya had never been more angry and for the bonus his gym training and mixed martial arts training came in handy. First punch and there was blood out of Armaan's mouth. Mehak couldn't see the fight. She felt really uneasy. She asked both of them to stop. Tears were running down her beautiful face. Even she couldn't understand why she was crying- either for the humiliation she had with an unwanted kiss, the fight, seeing Armaan injured or how the whole day's happiness and meeting with Shaurya was ending at such a bad note.
Shaurya stopped. Armaan wiped the blood off his face and sat on his knee in front of Mehak. Shaurya was very angry and he would have hit him even more but Mehak signalled him not to. He took her hand into his and told her that he still loved only her and Shruti was no one for him. He had engaged her only in his family's pressure. Back on her feet or not, he would marry her and take her away with himself because he didn't care about anyone else. He said he won't do a mistake he did two years ago and would not leave her alone. Mehak looked into his eyes for sometime and then laughed out loud. It was so abrupt that everyone looked at her with concern and shock at the same time.
Very politely she said to Armaan that she has moved on and wants nothing to do with him, his family or for that matter her family as well. She asked Armaan to go. Armaan said no and started to convince her. Mehak just turned her chair and went inside. Armaan shouted from where he stood that he was there for her whenever she would need him and he was happy that she was starting again with her physiotherapy. He also yelled that he hoped that she would come back to him one day and he was ready to wait.
Now by this time Shaurya had enough, he very 'politely' asked Armaan to get lost and never bother Mehak or the Bhallas again because the punch he got was just the teaser and the whole film would be too much for him to handle. Mandhar, the bodyguard came as he was already called by Shaurya. He very 'respectfully' dropped Armaan out of the building complex. Armaan was not even angry. His eyes showed nothing , not even anger.
Shaurya in the meanwhile went to Mehak's room along with Nehal to console her but she refused any of their comforting words and said she was fine. She sent them off and called for Sheetal to help her change. She was herself calling for Sheetal, Nehal understood that she should be left alone for the best so that she could deal with her emotions. Shaurya too understood that she needed space then. He just waved bye to her and left.
He then went to his house met his parents, collected his luggage from his hotel and left from the hotel for the airport and finally reached Mumbai at around 2 and then to his Bungalow by 3. He tried to sleep but all he could see was the image of Armaan kissing Mehak. The memory irked him to a different level. His blood boiled. He wanted to talk to Mehak but a glance at the time and he knew that it wasn't the time. He got up at 6 and the first thing he did was to call up Mehak to wish her luck for the session scheduled for 8 and asked her about her wellbeing. Mehak talked to him normally. She even assured him that she was okay and no amount of Armaan could break her or determination. He was a bit relaxed and asked her to get ready and promised to call after the session. He too continued the with his morning schedule followed by his morning fitness regime and an extra hour of swimming to calm himself down.
By 11 he was on the sets and even shot the dreaded confession and kissing scenes. Both him and Archie did the scenes like pure professionals. He was scared that kissing her would bring back some bitter memories but he felt nothing. He thought that maybe Mehak too felt nothing. After he was free around the evening time he called Mehak to enquire about her day and especially the session. They talked for sometime and Mehak told him about the small excercises they began with. They talked about many other things under the sun. They even talked about the sequence Shaurya shot that day but Mehak was just not happy listening about the scenes that were shot that day. They disconnected and they all got back to work.
Mehak got a call from Nikki, she had to urgently record a song for a movie. She briefed Mehak about the situation and asked her to write the song so that they can record the day after. She even told that the notice was short but it was important and she was offered a lot of money. Mehak agreed afterall she needed the business Nikki's father brought her and she even needed money to herself because of the increased expenses.
But it didn't take much time for Mehak to connect the dots and realise that she was writing the song as a background score for the scene Shaurya had shot that day and hence the song was needed to test if it goes well with the situation.
She didn't know why but her heart was very heavy while writing the song. The song turned out to be very deep, Mehak composed a tune as Ajay and Nikki both came down to her place in Delhi. Nikki though not a great singer was great with violin and guitar whereas Ajay did wonders with drums and Mehak sang and handled the piano.
The next day after her session the trio was at Ajay's Delhi recording studio to record the song with some of Ajay's other trusted men. The song recording was going on and much of the work was done when Mehak's phone rang. She didn't pickup but then it kept ringing. Nikki told her from the other side of the glass that it was Shaurya. Mehak said she couldn't take that call now and Nikki should tell him that they were all at the recording studio where she was accompanying Nikki to see her sing. Nikki repeated everything to Shaurya like a puppet. Shaurya said he would like to see pics. Nikki said they were busy but Shaurya was adamant. She said she would send the pics after sometime. But Shaurya video called and instead of rejecting she accepted the call by mistake and then disconnected as she realised what she just did and what he might have seen. Shaurya called immediately after and by then Nikki was also on the other side of the glass. Shaurya asked what was Mehak doing on the recording side. Nikki told him that they were just doing some Masti in between and Mehak was pretending to be the singer. Shaurya cross questioned Nikki a lot afterall he wasn't convinced with what she said but then Mehak took over the phone and made him calm and made him believe the lie all three wanted to feed him ever so desparately. Shaurya agreed but deep down him and his smart brain knew that the matter was not as it seemed.
On the other side the song was recorded , sent across and approved by the director. Everything was fine but Shaurya poked his nose deep into the matter and got hold of some of Ajay's trusted guys and then it was like a piece of cake for him. He got to know everything but he waited, he waited till Mehak trusts him enough to tell him the truth herself.
Everyone was busy in their lives. Two months of physiotherapy passed in a jiffy and still the phone conversations of MehRya continued. Shaurya's film was fully shot and was in for editing. He was back in town for a break and to also plan for his mom's birthday. More than that he had to take care of other matters at hand. Apparently the suspected people were again under the radar for doing everything suspicious.
He came to Delhi and reached directly to Mehak's session.
Her lower body felt stronger and even little movements were registered.
That day the doctors were gonna make her stand on her feet with the help of their equipment between two support rods so that she gained some confidence and mobility.
Shaurya saw it all from the window and then even entered the room quietly making sure that nobody registered his presence. He made Mandhar wait outside ,just incase.
He came in and saw Mehak was crying and was not able to do what the doctors wanted her to do. The man, Dr. Batra himself was there but Mehak was too scared to follow the instructions.
Shaurya moved ahead and made his presence felt. He held Mehak's waist and asked her to try her best to keep her feet steady on the ground. Mehak was very scared to do it. Shaurya encouraged her and tried to convince her but she was scared. Shaurya then said that he won't let her fall and if her feet will hurt he ll lift her and stop the session for that day. He held her strongly and she kept her feet on the ground and took her first four steps with the help of support rods , equipment and Shaurya. It was after two years that she was on her feet. She felt happy but was completely exhausted. Shaurya held her while the doctors freed her body from the equipment that made her stand. Shaurya just lifted Mehak a little to turn her face towards himself and kept her feet on his. He hugged her and she hugged him back.
She said that she was very happy that she did it, atleast she crossed a milestone. Shaurya told her that he was equally happy about it and was even ecstatic because she did it with him and had enough trust in him. He then lifted Mehak properly and made her lie down nicely which was much required post the tedious session.
He talked to both Dr. Batra and Dr. Sanyukta about the progress. They assured that a month and she should be able to walk with support. After Dr. Batra left to meet his other patients, Sanyukta was still there and was talking to Mehak how great she did. Meanwhile Shaurya winked at Mehak and started talking to Sanyukta or rather flirting. He got a light slap on his shoulder from Mehak and Sanyukta just laughed. She told him that his charm won't work on her because she was already committed to Randhir Singh Shekhawat. Shaurya looked on wide eyed. He asked the same Randhir Singh Shekhawat, he is working with in his next film. She nodded in affirmative. Shaurya was happy to meet the girl, Randhir kept hidden from all. He was happy to meet her and congratulated her and complimented her choice and clicked a selfie with her and Mehak and sent it across to Randhir. Randhir too reverted and talked a bit and before disconnecting wished Mehak for her fast recovery.
Nehal came in meanwhile and took Mehak with her to the ice cream parlour to celebrate and asked Shaurya to follow. Before he could go Sanyukta said, don't worry your love would be fine. Shaurya clarified that he didn't love Mehak and there was nothing of that sort between them to which Sanyukta just smirked and said that it didn't seem so and soon they both too would realise.
Shaurya again said there was nothing of that sort and moved out. They celebrated that day. Shaurya told both the ladies about his mother's upcoming birthday the following month and invited them with family.
The girls said yes and left. Well the party had a lot in store for them and they were to know it shortly.
Meanwhile the physiotherapy continued. Everyone was hopeful and Mehak did do her best. The day she was to stand on her feet everyone was there. She felt nervous and couldn't stand. Everyone felt devastated. Doctors sent everyone out. Mehak asked Shaurya to stay. She tried , she tried hard to stand on her own. Shaurya went towards her and gave her a little pep talk while the doctors to encouraged her. Nehal saw it from the window and so did Aman . Kanta was too busy handling Jeevan but she didn't mind missing the moment so that she could see her family together and happy in future with Mehak back on her feet. After Shaurya was done talking, he kissed her forehead and stood atleast 10 steps away from her. She closed her eyes for a minute and saw her whole life pass from the front of her eyes. She held her stick, she held it tight and got up to move towards Shaurya.
15 days post she first took her four steps with the help of the rods , equipment and ofcourse Shaurya she was walking by herself with the help of the support stick. She clutched onto the stick as if her life depended on it and walked. She walked halfway before she gave up. She was about to fall but Shaurya held her and hugged her. He said that he was proud of her and was glad that his bff could do it. Everyone came inside. Mehak settled and they all wished her and blessed her. The doctor told the recovery was very good and the goal Mehak had set for herself to stand on her feet in 8 months had been almost achieved in less than 3 months. Come month four and she might be walking without the stick. Everyone was happy. Shaurya called in for a celebration and took everyone to one of his father's famous restaurants. He even called his Mom and Dad there. Harish and Karuna too knew about Mehak but didn't know that Shaurya and Mehak were this close and such nice friends. Nehal and Kanta were already thinking on a different track and Karuna was not very far away in joining that line.
They had a nice lunch and decided to retire to their respective homes whereas Shaurya went before everyone for some 'important work'.
While going he again invited everyone to his mother's birthday party and started to leave. While moving out, he came near Mehak and whispered in her ears that since she has 15 more days she should better build a little more stamina and start walking with that stick for longer durations because she was going to be his dance partner and his date for the evening. Mehak looked at him and he winked at her and left. All the ladies at the table smiled and Mehak still sat there looking at his retreating figure.
