Unrequited Love

Chapter One

12 years ago

Nine, year old Mehek, stomped her foot. They were going to get married today. She had worn her white wedding dress that she had made her mother buy her, paired with a veil and tiara. Just like she had seen Cinderella, get married.

Shaurya was disinterested as always, He had a book in his hand, and was reading something. He was the top of his class; the teacher had always called him super smart. Mehek was happy for him, as this meant they could go to the same school. Her father had, said it was called a scoloship or something. It meant that the school would pay for Shaurya to study whatever he wished too, he was two grades above her already. Mehek had tried studying with him once, but she had never been able to understand any of it.

"Look what is the point of this? He asked her, Mehek was already upset, that he had not worn any good clothes. No He had worn and old ratty blue shirt and some capris pants, that looked like they had seen far better days.

"We have to get married all couples do it She said, huffing.

"My mother said only older kids got married He pointed out, Mehek grabbed his hands and glared at him, she took his book and put it down near Pastor Teddy.

"If you keep talking how will pastor Teddy give us our vows

"I have homework to do... Shaurya said pulling away.

Mehek grabbed his arm.

"I will tell your mom, you are not playing with me She said, He glared back at her and silently stood, while Mehek waited for Awara to play the music.

Mehek took out a plastic blue ring and took Shaurya's hand.

"With this ring, I promise to always be with you and never leave your side She said and put it on.

Mehek gave him a pink one to put on for her.

And just pushed it onto her finger.

"You cannot force me to say anything He said, Mehek was going to scream. He was ruining her fairy tale wedding.

"Next time I do this I am going to do it with Ajay or someone Mehek told him, he looked at her and snorted. He was implying that they were both stupid as they were both in the F class.

"Yes enjoy yourself, you two suit each other He said. Mehek wanted to kick him she took her ring off and threw it at him.

"I divorce you.

"You can't just divorce someone like that, you have to go to court. And I have homework I have no time to sit and make you make Pastor Teddy, Judge Teddy and divorce us

Mehek ran back into the house, in anger and threw her veil off. She would never speak to him ever again.

{}{}{}

5 days later.

Shaurya was sitting in the guarden, Mehek was terribly bored. Despite his disinterest in everything and anything she choose to do. She had not spoken to him since their last fight. And he had not bothered to even give her a second look.

"Shaurya Mehek called out his name, hearing her voice he sighed.

"Just when I thought I did not have to deal with you anymore He said, he stood up and closed his book.

Mehek blinked and saw Karuna ma. She referred to her as Karuna ma, as she had always looked after her growing up. She went to her and hugged her.

"Karuna ma Shaurya is being mean to me She complained, Shaurya gave her the stink eye and Mehek hid behind Karuna ma.

"Shaurya, Mehek is younger than you. You are supposed to look after her, and keep her safe, like a sister

"She is not my sister. Mom come on. I know it's your job to be nice to that idiot but I don't get paid for it. You cannot force me Karuna Ma slapped him across his face. Her eyes watered and her hand trembled.

"Take that back, Shaurya. The Sharma's have done a lot for us. Is this the way you are going to repay them? Mehek immediately felt guilty.

"Karuna ma, please don't scold him. She said, Shaurya walked off in anger and Karuna ma, touched her cheek.

"You know you are like my own child Mehek. You are my daughter to me She said, Mehek nodded and hugged her.

{}{}{}

1 day later.

Mehek saw Shaurya sitting with an older boy talking about something.

"Shaurya She called out his name, he ignored her and the older boy whispered something to him.

"No, I don't know who that is He said ignoring her, Mehek bit her lip, she had PS in her hand with the words I am sorry on it.

Her eyes moistened and she refused to cry. She took the chocolate and threw it at him.

"What the hell? He cursed out.

"I have been trying to apologise from yesterday to you and you keep acting like this She said, his friend looked uncomfortable and stood up to leave. Mehek held her hand up.

"I don't speak to idiots, who can't even spell properly. Rather than worrying about me, you should focus on passing He taunted her, Mehek's fists clenched.

"You looked up my grades!

"They were on the wall, does your father know you are failing? He asked her, Mehek had not been able to study for her last tests as she had been so excited for her wedding she had sort of slept through the alarm she had even put to study for the test. Mehek bit her lip, she had forgotten about that completely and had been so wrapped up in trying to make Shaurya forgive her, she had not thought of it.

"I will make up in the next test Mehek said uneasily.

"Sure you will, I bet you will fail. It's really amazing you have passed every year It really was, Mehek had always somehow passed with 50 percent on the dot. But as the years were going by it was becoming harder and harder.

Shaurya picked up his stuff and called her a dumbo before moving off.

{}{}{}

Exams came sooner than later, and the more she put of studying the less time she had.

Mehek huffed and closed her books. She hated studying. She hated it. She wondered what Shaurya was doing and if he was ready for exams.

She sleepily dropped her head to the table and drew a flower in her book.

{}{}{}

Mehek woke up with a start. The sun was bright. She had slept again. She was going to fail, she did not even know what she did not know. How was she going to manage?

{}{}{}

After getting ready, in her blue uniform, she untidly tied her hair into a, plait, and ran down the stairs.

Shaurya was already gone, Mehek noticed and rushed to school.

{}{}{}

She failed.

Mehek wondered if it was god punishing her for trying her hardest? Or for her trying her hardest at the last minute. A tear ran down her cheek as, she walked away from the result board.

She wiped it away with the back hand. Why was she giving up! She was Mehek Sharma. She would pass. She would surely pass the next time.

Or she would die trying.

{}{}{}

Now.

Mehek blinked as Shaurya busied himself with a guitar. He was literally good at everything, absolutely everything.

She smothered her pink knee length puffy skirt and white top and went over to his side.

"Shaurya guess what? She asked him, sitting down next to him. He did not even bother looking up, wearing a plain white shirt and an old pair of jeans.

Mehek felt silly for dressing up.

She wished he would notice her for once. He would finally see her the way she saw him.

"You failed again? He asked her, in a dry tone. Mehek blinked and ignored his tone.

"No silly, I got into your collage She said holding out a letter. He put his guitar down and looked at it, then her.

"You are kidding me, right? He said looking at her incredulous. His collage specialised in degrees in computers.

"What I like computers Mehek lied, well she would like anything that meant being near to him. She had come to the realisation a while back, that her constant need for his approval and company had been her infatuation with him. But now she saw it for what it was she loved him, forever. She would do whatever it took to be with him forever.

"Do you know what the difference is between M9 and I5? Mehek wondered if he was talking about cars.

"Are those cars? She asked, He started laughing. Mehek bit her lip, was it not that?

"What classes are you going to take? He asked her, Mehek still had not thought about it.

"I don't know basic computer literacy... Mehek said.

"Thankfully I am in my final year Shaurya said with a snort.

Karuna ma, saw Mehek and came towards them.

"Shaurya what is this, I don't want any money... She said holding an envelope out to him.

"I am designing some software mother, the company that wants this software, paid me. This is part of my salary. I want you to spend it on yourself Mehek felt her heart melt, it was times like these, that always reminded her, deep down, he was a good person.

"Karuna ma, take it and buy yourself new clothes Mehek said, Karuna smiled and touched her cheek.

"I don't need new clothes She said.

"Unlike some people, who go shopping every week Shaurya said, Mehek ignored him and smiled at Karuna ma.

"Karuna ma, shopping helps me, calm down She said, it really did whenever she was worried about something, shopping helped take her mind of things.

"Mehek you will have to marry a really rich husband Karuna ma joked with her.

"Its good most rich men don't like brains...

Mehek took her collage acceptance letter and hit him with it.

"Shut up She said he took the letter and threw it back at her.
