Chapter 3

My doves, I really have no idea where the story is going as I write I tend to get ideas, they are never really thought out. Like I know a lot of you try and predict what shall happen, but even I don't know what will. Well I have a vague idea, but sometimes I kind of change my mind.

So you will only know how the title fits in the last chapter. Hehe.

 

Chapter 3

Mehek looked at her reflection in the mirror. Karuna ma, was placing her clothing in her cupboard.

"Karuna ma, am I pretty? She asked her, Karuna ma, paused and looked at her with slight disbelief.

"You are the loveliest girl I know Mehek looked back, at her reflection, she was not skinny like Nikita nor as tall. She was rather pale and her long black her never curled like Nikita's did. A soft stab of jealousy knotted in her belly.

"But you are biased, Karuna ma

"Why do you say that, my sweet heart?

Well she was, she was like a mother to her. Mehek wondered who she could ask that did not like her.

{}{}{}

It was cold out in the evening, and Mehek was sitting in the garden drawing snow flake. Who was busy barking at the air.

"You should be studying She heard Shaurya say. He looked incredibly tired, he probably just came home from whichever job he was currently working. She was never able to keep up with the number of jobs he did.

"I hate computers Mehek confessed.

"You don't ever thing before doing something, now what are you going to do waste more of your fathers money while you are there, by wasting your time flittering around with your boyfriend?

Mehek glared at him.

"Ajay is not my boyfriend

"Why don't you tell him that! Shaurya said.

 Snow flake ran towards him, and circled him.

"What do you feed this thing, why is it so annoying? He asked, Mehek wondered if her infatuation for Shaurya had passed onto snow flake as well. she always kind of went crazy when he was around and tried to jump on him.

He picked her up by her collar and dumped her on Mehek's lap.

Mehek tucked her sketch book away, kind of scared he would find all, of the drawings she had made of him.

Wait what did he mean?

"Did Ajay say something to you?

"He was threatening me, apparently if I did not stop my womanising ways which is nonsense, there is a difference between sleeping around and tutoring stupid rich girls, he would take you away from me. And then when I regretted it, would be too late and you would already be Mrs Ajay Parmer Mehek bit her lip and felt embarrassed. She had always avoided refusing Ajay of the bat. He was just such a good friend to her, that she could not bear to hurt his feelings.

"What did you say? She could not help but wonder. Shaurya shrugged.

"Well I said keep her away from me, I never asked her to follow me around and make me chocolates for valentine's day, almost as if she liked me he mocked her. Anger clouded her. Mehek stood up and slapped him hard across the face.

"You have no right to talk about me like that

 She took a step back horrified. What had she done? her hand trembled, while Shaurya's face morphed into anger. He looked like he wanted to strangle her.

"When will you understand I want nothing to do with you. I cannot stand you and your pink girly clothing and need to smile all the time, even when there is nothing to smile about, frivolous spending, your need to be the centre of attention, all of these little things about you drive me insane. Yet you refuse to respect my wishes, and keep away from me.

"Well fine then I will stay away Mehek said, and her vision blurred, she grabbed her sketch pad and ran into the house, passed karuna ma who tried to stop her and went into her room and buried her face into her pillow.

{}{}{}

2 days later.

Mehek walked with Ajay to class.

"You know you should enter this He said pointing to a poster on the wall, it was some drawing competition for graphics designs for a game.

Mehek blinked, perhaps it would take her mind off Shaurya. she saw him walking with Vicky, her mood was kind of down so she wore a mint green off the shoulder dress. Shaurya walked passed her without a care in the world while Vicky nodded a greeting at her. Mehek smiled and greeted him.

She tried to ignore the way her heart thundered in her chest at the mere sight of Shaurya.

Ajay distracted her by pulling her into class. But Mehek turned and saw Shaurya looking at something against one of the windows and then turning away.

{}{}{}

Ajay paged threw her sketch pad and rolled his eyes at the amounts of drawings of Shaurya.

"Mehek what are these

"Shaurya eating, drinking, walking, working on his computer, sleeping... Mehek admitted kind of embarrassed.

"Do you draw anyone else? Ajay asked her, Mehek shook her head.

"Nobody?

"I draw snowflake sometimes

"You have to make drawings for that game story, as the pamphlet says. I will send it to you on we chat. Have a look and try it out. Mehek pushed her hair behind her ear, Nikita came into class and sat in the front row. Mehek hated her. She hated everything about her. She could not help it.

She just gave her the wrong vibe.

{}{}{}

Mehek was pacing outside, with snowflake at her feet. She picked her up and cuddled her. Karuna ma, was pealing some garlic.

"Karuna ma, do you think if I take part in that competition I would win? She had told her all about the competition.

"Sure, you would win

"Really?

"Yes my dear

{}{}{}

Mehek was about to hand her drawings in, when she saw Nikita talking to Shaurya. She bit her lip and turned around.

"Hi Mehek He greeted her adjusting his glasses, The denim dress Mehek wore, fell above her knees.

Vicky, looked down at her legs and then kind of looked dazed.

Mehek could not be bothered all she wanted to do was hit Nikita over the head with a sledge hammer.

Shaurya noticed her glaring and looked at her.

Mehek looked away and turned around.

 "What is this? He asked her touching her drawing folder. Mehek held it out of his reach.

"Nothing Mehek muttered Nikita, leaned against Shaurya like a leech. Mehek bumped into her hard. Almost knocking her over.

"Oops She said, making Nikita glare at her. They both eyed each other knowingly.

"Why bother Mehek, I am taking part as well. I doubt you would win against me She said, Mehek glared at her. What a bitch. Shaurya separated them.

"Stop this

Mehek looked up into his eyes, they were utterly blank. He did not care about any of this. Nothing at all mattered to him. Mehek blinked a few times and looked away.

"Nikita. Have you never heard the saying don't count your chickens before they hatch Mehek said over Shaurya, Nikita laughed, it was a low empty witch like sound.

"I don't say things I don't mean Nikita said.

"Neither do I Mehek countered back.
