Coming back to the story.

 

 

Chapter 2

Mehek pushed her hair back as she stood besides, her friend Ajay who was busy talking to someone. He hated Shaurya, for some odd reason. Mehek never understood why, or how come.

"What building is that jerk in? He asked Mehek.

"I don't know Ajay, I am as new as you are He nodded and then followed Mehek. Well soon she would befriend someone and find out, she sighed dreamily. She would be able to see Shaurya for the entire day here.

"Where are your classes? She asked Ajay.

"I took the same classes as you He said, Mehek felt relieved she would at least know one person.

Ajay Parmer was the son of the owner of a pharmaceutical company, Every, cousin, sister aunt or uncle all became pharmacists, besides him. He hated the smell of medicines, he hated the thought of wearing a lab coat. He was more of a leather jacket type of guy.

"Ajay are you any good in computers? She asked him, he flicked his collars up.

"I am good at everything, you just wait and watch baby, placing his arm around her shoulder He said, Mehek shook her head and smiled.

"Mehek what do you think about my proposal... Mehek blinked feeling uncomfortable and saw Shaurya standing at the top of the building talking to someone.

"I will be right back She said, and ran up the stairs. He was with quite a few older male students. Mehek straightened her pale yellow, knee length dress, and ran towards him, she wondered sometimes if he could see the utter adoration and love she felt for him in her eyes as she looked at him.

One of the boys told him something, he looked annoyed.

"Hi Shaurya She said, He looked at her, and then began to walk away.

"Don't speak to me here. I don't know you He said, going into one of the rooms. Mehek looked down at her white tennis shoes wondering if the world would swallow her whole. His friends looked at her kind of shocked, Mehek wondered why?

"I will beat him up I swear to god Ajay said coming in behind her.

"Why do you even like him Mehek? Mehek wondered the same thing sometimes, was it because it was just that she could never imagine being without him, or that everything she had ever done in her life, he had always been there, around her. Disinterested but there.

{}{}{}

Mehek found most of her classes incredibly boring. And quickly noticed, she needed a laptop. She would ask her father, for a pink one. She decided. She wondered why everyone dressed, so incredibly dreary here.

"Ajay why do they all dress in such dull colours?

"I don't know and they all look like they are going for a funeral He said.

1 week later.

Collage was wonderful, Mehek befriended on of Shaurya's friends Vicky who supplied her with his time table so, she always knew where he would be and when their paths would cross. Mehek spotted him across the lunch room. Eating with Vicky.

Mehek waved at Vicky who looked surprised by her, he nudged Shaurya whose eyes also widened. Mehek frowned and looked down at her pink dress and pink shoes and pink ribbon in her hair. Was something wrong with her outfit.

It was valentine's day, she did not want to dress like everyone else would, but after coming to collage she realised nobody seemed to care that it was valentine's day. Shaurya wore black, He hated valentine's day, if not more than anyone she knew.

She waved at him, and then when she looked to her side and saw Ajay wearing an all pink outfit as well, she could not help but laugh.

"Don't we look good together Mehek, I know you wear pink today. So, I thought I would too He said, bumping her arm. Mehek tried to move out of his reach afraid he would crush the chocolates she had made to give Shaurya.

Mehek wondered if Ajay going out and buying the outfit was why he had been missing the entire morning.

"I am going to go speak to Shaurya Mehek said, excusing herself, Ajay looked away a little uncomfortably and then moved off. Mehek sat down next to him, without a second thought. She had hardly seen him at home lately, because of the job he worked part time and all the extra classes he gave younger students.

"Happy valentine's day Vicky She wished Vicky first, Shaurya who had been eating paused and sighed.

"...Shaurya She finished off at last.

"H-hi Mehek Vicky stuttered, Shaurya leaned back and looked at her pointedly.

"That explains why you look like a strawberry cake He said sarcastically. Mehek frowned and looked down at her outfit.

"Shaurya, I think Mehek looks kind of cute... Shaurya glared at Vicky who held up his hands as if to say sorry.

"Cute? Try living with her He said, Vicky's eyes widened.

"You live together!

"Sure, we do, we always have Mehek said, as shrugging.

"I always thought you were cool man, but wow, you live with the hottest...

"Get your mind out of the gutter, my mother works for princess over here Mehek bit her lip. What was the need to be so rude all the time, he was so handsome until he opened his mouth. She thought as she watched him.  

Mehek rolled her eyes.

"I am not a princess

"You live in a big house, and order everyone around he pointed out.

"I don't order anyone

"Shaurya get have you seen snow flake, Shaurya can you get my necklace I dropped it in the deep end I don't like swimming in the deep end He mimicked, Mehek pouted and stood up.

"Those were favours I asked for I never ordered you to do anything He raised his brow, maybe as children she did. Mehek blushed embarrassed remembering the days, she had forced him to be her husband. Would he never let her forget?

"I need to go I have a class Shaurya muttered standing up, Vicky looked at Mehek then Shaurya.

"I will come later Shaurya glared at him and he silently trailed off with him.

Mehek followed after him.

"Shaurya wait She said, he turned and looked at her.

"What do you want?

"I wanted to give you this She said holding out a box of chocolates she had made by hand.

He stared at it, then at her.

"What is that?

"A valentine's day gift Vicky chirped in, Shaurya narrowed his eyes at him and he turned and looked the other way.

"I don't want it

"But...

"When will you ever understand. I don't want to be your friend. I don't want to get gifts from you. I don't even like you Mehek's eyes watered. She looked away, and the box slipped from her fingers.

"You are such a jerk, all you have is brains, you are nothing but a heartless robot, come on let's go Mehek Ajay said taking her hand and pulling her away.

{}{}{}

Mehek sat with Ajay in their class, waiting for the next lecture. She sketched, Shaurya in her note book and sighed.

"Mehek what do you see in him? Ajay asked her pacing next to her, Mehek bit her lip.

She was unsure of the definite answer. What did she like so much about Shaurya?

What made her like this? Was it the fact, that when she had cried and cried that snowflake had gone missing and somehow had found him. Rather than telling her, he had just left snowflake in her room. Or was it when, she was afraid of going in the water and he went in after complaining about wetting all his clothing?

Was it because he was handsome and so clever?

"I don't know She told him again. Ajay frowned, and looked away.

 

{}{}{}

Mehek was at home, in the garden with Karuna ma who was helping her pick flowers.

"Karuna ma, for my birthday I want new pony She said, a white pony she would name daisy. Snow flake stuck to her side, Mehek bent down and picked up the white pug and cuddled him.

"I think that ponies are quite different from puppy's Mehek Mehek pouted she was right, a pony would need a lot more attention, attention she did not have to spare, with collage and Shaurya and all, of her other pets.

"I guess when I am older then She said, Karuna ma smiled at her and touched her head.

"You always like all these stray animals Mehek loved animals, well more than them she loved drawing them. The light pink denim braces dress she wore, was a little big for her and the strap kept falling off her shoulder.

"Why don't you let me repair that? Come dear it will only take a minute Karuna ma said, Mehek took the basket from her and followed her into the servant quarters.

She never really came down here. Nor did her parents allow her too, but as a child she always snuck in to bother Shaurya. She smiled thinking of how many times, she had disturbed him and how he would get mad. Whenever he got mad, he would huff up and his face would go red.

"Karuna ma, I will take it off in the bathroom then She said and went inside the bathroom.

"Yes, dear just leave it on the door

"Ok

Mehek pulled it off and stood in her tights and short white crop top. The bathroom was incredibly small and filled with masculine items, razors, shaving creams and all sorts of other things. Mehek opened the door, and left her braces out on the door handle.

"I left it on the door handle She called out and just sort of paced in the bathroom.

"Mehek you know taking your clothes off and coming to my house like this is pushing it right Shaurya said from outside the door. Mehek felt the tips of ears all turn red. What the hell was he doing home early? Where was Karuna ma?

"Shaurya beta why are you home early?

"I finished the project so I came home. And found your precious princess leaving her clothes out here He said sounding irritated.

"I was going to adjust her dress, as it is a little big for her

"She should buy clothes that fit her

"You know I can hear you

"You should buy clothes that fit you He repeated.

"Don't be mean to her, she is just like you are to me...

"Whatever mom, I am going to take a nap. If you want to sing about how much you care about Mehek I don't want to hear it He said.

{}{}{}

Mehek snuck out of the bathroom with her dress all repaired, she twirled in front of Karuna ma, who smiled.

"That is better She said, Mehek picked her flower basket and saw snowflake had followed them inside she bent down and put her inside the basket as well.

"Mehek, how are your studies coming along? Karuna ma asked her, Mehek remembered then, she had to prepare some of her homework for class.

"Karuna ma, I was supposed to write some class for some shop or something She looked at the flowers then Karuna ma.

She ran out the house and went back into the main house. She would have to start soon.

{}{}{}

A few days later.

Mehek watched as Shaurya sat with another girl, who was also in first year, her name was Nikita or something. Her face fell slightly.

"Why is he talking to her? She questioned allowed. Vicky who she did not realise, was on the step beside her.

"He is tutoring her Mehek pouted, why couldn't he tutor her, what was the need to tutor Nikita (It pains me writing Nikita I wana write chudail)

Mehek went ahead and sat opposite them.

Shaurya saw her and ignored her, Nikita was all in black, yet the top buttons of her blouse were open. Mehek instantly disliked her, she kept leaning into Shaurya.

Vicky stood behind Mehek and looked around nervously.

Mehek kicked Shaurya under the table hard as she could with her sneaker. He cursed and looked at her and narrowed his eyes.

"What the hell is wrong with you? He asked her.

"Nothing, what are you teaching Nikita? She asked him sweetly, He rolled his eyes.

"Polymorphism He said, "Not that you know what that is

He was right, she did not. Mehek stood up, why was she doing this. For what reason? Why was she chasing someone who was so oblivious and uncaring for her feelings?

"Yes, I don't know what it is She said softly, he looked up sharply, her vision blurred and she stood up and left.
