Chapter 11

Mehek took Karuna ma to her room.

"I will tell Shaurya everything She said, Mehek held her back.

"No please She begged her.

"Your father is a bad man. What kind of man would allow this... Karuna ma said, tears gathered in her eyes. Mehek held her.

"Karuna ma, please don't tell Shaurya anything

"I cannot allow him to study, there at the cost of your life She said, Mehek held her in her arms.

"Please Karuna ma, swear on me. You won't tell Shaurya anything

"I will not allow this Mehek

"Please Karuna ma. If you tell him I will still marry Sandeep Mehek said, Karuna ma shook her head.

"Mehek, growing up your father has always used me to control you I will not allow him to use my son. I quit I don't want to work for a man like that. Come on lets go. You come with me She said.

Mehek thought back to all the times she saw how hard Shaurya worked.

"Karuna ma, Shaurya is so close. To his goal of finishing his degree he worked so hard. Trust me I won't let Sandeep hit me ever again. I swear to you. Everything will be ok. Please don't leave me... Mehek said, her voice broke. Karuna ma hugged her.

{}{}{}

Mehek waited on the door step for Sandeep, the next morning. She had a pepper spray and stun gun in her purse if he tried anything stupid on her. She refused to wear his stupid engagement ring, that swallowed her finger. He honked loudly as he stopped the car in front of her, as if she could not hear him. Mehek wore a long black dress, she sat in his car without waiting for him to open the door.

Shaurya was heading out for collage she noticed, he stopped and stared at her. Mehek was thankful for the thick black sun glasses she wore, they hid the way her eyes misted. Sandeep drove off, and Mehek wiped her eyes, but the idiot did not even notice it.

"I am sorry about the other day I get rather mean when I am drunk He said, reaching out to grab her knee. Mehek swotted his hand as hard as she could making him yelp in pain the car swerved off the road.

If he was angry he held it in. Mehek didn't care. He started the car again.

"If you are so flighty how are we going to have our suhaagraath? He asked her, Mehek ignored him and looked away. He took her to a park and tried to make her eat, while boasting about how he used his money from his inheritance to start a company, and about how much money he had. Mehek gave him one word replies. She had honestly wished her first official date to be with Shaurya. Shaurya her vision grew blurry when she thought of him. Sandeep tried to hold her hand and she kept carefully stepping away from him.

{}{}{}

Mehek pretended to have a head ache in the evening and Sandeep took her home.

"I had an amazing time with you He said, Mehek heard him say. She looked away and tried to open the car door.

He locked the door and hugged her from behind. Mehek felt sick. She pushed him away and hit him with her bag.

"Don't touch me Mehek said, she stumbled out of the car. And ran towards the door and flung it open.

{}{}{}

Mehek looked for snow flake but could not find her anywhere.

"Snow flake? She called out, it was starting to rain and she was worried she could have gotten stuck outside somewhere. Mehek wore a pair of shorts and light pink spaghetti strap t shirt and went out.

The sky rumbled. Mehek looked everywhere.

"Snow flake! Mehek, felt like crying. where was she? It started to rain. Icy cold rain drops hit her skin.

Stabbing her soft skin.

And then they suddenly stopped, she looked up and someone held an umbrella over her head. She slowly turned around and Shaurya was there.

His expression was different.

Mehek's eyes widened. As he grabbed her and pulled her against him.

"Are you really going to marry that guy? He asked her, his eyes were red.

"Why shouldn't I, are you not happy that I am? She asked him looking at his shirt. It was white and with the rain she could see through it.

"Do you really like him?

"My father likes him, he likes me what is there not to like Mehek said still looking at his chest.

"So, if someone just likes you like that you would just go for them?

"Why can't I. I am tired of having this one-sided love with you.

His expression changed, she had never ever said it out loud. But they both had always known it was there.

"Unrequited love you mean? Mehek felt like hitting him even when she was telling him how she felt, he was still a superior jerk.

"Whatever I don't care. I am going to be with someone that likes me back finally, and I like him Mehek lied again.

"You love me He said, Mehek looked into his eyes confused. His arm around her tightened.

"You only love me you cannot love anyone else more than me Mehek pushed him away.

"What the hell? She said not fully coming out of the umbrella.

Shaurya had pushed her away her whole life what was this? Why did he have to choose now to come close to her.

When it was too late.

"I am right! He said with conviction.

"Fine you are right I love you but what's good about that? You don't even like me back... Mehek asked him. Shaurya grabbed her wrist and pulled her back against him.

The umbrella fell.

And he cupped her cheeks and pressed his lips against her lips.

Her first kiss.

Was outside in the garden. Where she had played so many times, well not with Shaurya around him. Her heart thundered against her chest.

"You cannot leave me for anyone else ever He said kissing her forehead. Mehek pushed him away.

"We cant be together

He grabbed her hands to pull her back into the circle of his arms.

"No Mehek said pushing him away. She was thankful for the rain. As they hid away the tears that poured down her cheeks.

"Mehek...

"You don't get it do you. We are different how would you ever be able to keep me happy you are only the house keeper's son. What would you ever be able to give me. Sandeep owns over 20 clubs, you don't even have your own car. Even if I had some kind of crush on you how would I ever live with you? Huh what would my friends say? Mehek told him, his eyes grew wide.

She felt sickened by her words. Mehek could tell she had given him the lowest blow she could ever give him. His eyes were so angry. I am sorry. I am so sorry, she whispered in her mind. I am so sorry.

Shaurya began to laugh to himself.

It was a bitter hollow sound.

"I always knew what you were like deep down, but you acted so nice towards everyone I could not help it but thing you were different He pulled a chain out from around his neck.

At the end of it was the wedding ring she had given him all those years ago. He ripped it of his neck and threw it at her.

I am so sorry. She fell to the floor and he grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.

"One day you will regret letting me go so badly that even if you begged me on your knees Mehek Sharma I will not give you the time of day. Every day you think that you will finally be happy I will destroy your happiness. And that is a poor pathetic housekeepers son's promise to you

Mehek said nothing. She had ruined the most beautiful moment of her life. She full well knew it.

Shaurya turned around.

Mehek wanted to beg him to wait. To forgive her. She could not even look up anymore.

{}{}{}

6 years later.

Mehek looked at the board outside her house. For sale, and a red sold sticker covered it. She reached out and touched it, she was unsure what she was more attached to the house or the memories that came from it. Shaurya and Karuna ma, how she missed them so much.

She blocked her face, as the media tried to take pictures of her.

Sharma corp going bankrupt was enough to cause this kind of attention? Mehek went inside and closed the gate. She kept her eyes trained forward and tried not to look at anything else.

So many things had changed. She wore a simple pale blue salwar kameez, she tried not to remember the way she would wear tiny dresses and try all sorts of things to get shaurya's attention. Mehek opened the door and went inside. After she had left, her fathers and mothers death rather than bringing her sadness left her empty. She had never really spent enough time with them to mourn them fully. It had not devastated her as much as her separation from Karuna ma had.

She went into her father's study. Someone sat there facing the window.

It must be the new owner. Mehek knocked on the door.

"Hi my names Mehek Sharma, I am here to pick up my things Her voice was soft. They did not reply. Mehek knocked again.

"Hello Mehek Mehek's eyes widened seeing him there. Shaurya. she of course followed him closely, he owned a major company now. She was so proud of him.

He was wearing, DNA three-piece dark blue suit and Rolex on his hand. Everything about him screamed money. Mehek felt all the feelings she had felt for him as a child resurface. How the tables have turned, Mehek thought to herself.

He owned her house. She owned nothing. His eyes were hard, burning with dark promises of vengeance. Mehek felt his hatred for her, over the years. He controlled her life with little things, she knew if she told anyone else they would have thought she were crazy but she knew it was him. Sandeep refused to marry her all those years ago, then so did every man, her father chose for her who tried to marry her. She never got a job that paid more than 10 000 a month. She never got anything easily really. Eventually all, of the clothes she had once loved were sold.

He removed Karuna ma from her life, he took away everything. Everything. Now he had her house. Mehek welcomed his hatred.

She deserved it after being so cruel to him.

After breaking his heart.

"Shaurya...

"Who would have thought the house keeper's son would finally own your house one day, your fathers company and finally you... He taunted her.

TO BE CONTINUED...
