Chapter 10
With clenched fist Shaurya's eyes blazed with yellow fire. "Bloody hell!" He paced the room as his blood boiled and his head felt like exploding at anytime with anger. "So its Sanjay mama and mami behind all this! They have a problem with my happiness! Meri khushi unse Dekhi nai jaati! And Rajiv the back stabber I won't leave him! I'm not gonna spare anyone this time! I'll break everything and everyone into pieces!" Screamed Shaurya. His thunder like voice echoed in the room as he fumed in anger. Mehek shivered. "Calm down Shaurya ...you are scaring me." Shaurya halted,took a deep breath to calm himself down and looked at Mehek who was trembling. He hurried towards her,sitting beside her he took her tiny hands in his. "I'm sorry but they have to pay for what they did to you Mehek." Mehek looked at him with a glint of fear in her eyes. "They will harm you Shaurya ...let's just take this matter to the police." Shaurya brought her shaky hands to his lips. "They will try but will not succeed,good thing I came to know it's Sanjay mama and mami behind this...police won't do anything I'll handle this matter myself." He assured her. "But why doesn't mami want you to get married?" She asked. Shaurya smirked with a smile. "Because she knows if I get married my property will transferred to my wife and then later to my kids which they don't want at any cost." Mehek was surprised to know all that. "And they think you'll marry me that's why they are after me?." She asked. Shaurya smiled. "You got that right!" Can we continue this conversation tomorrow? Because for now you need ointment on your bruises." He said while grabbing the ointment from the nightstand. "Shaurya main laga lungi na.." Mehek was shy because her bruises were mostly on her shoulders,mid and lower back and on her legs just above her knees. "Mehek,I'll do it Tum bass chup chaap baythi raho!" He ordered. "Lekin Shaurya.." he didn't let her finish and shushed her at once. Left with no choice she settled down and let him do the ointment.

Shaurya applied the ointment on her hands and elbows. "Remove your pyjamas Mehek...wait I'll remove it for you." Meheks eyes widened. "What? No!! I'll ask Rasi (butlers wife) she'll do the ointment in my legs please Tum rahne doh!" Shaurya smiled smugly. "Why not me? Are you afraid or shy?" Mehek pulled the duvet covers and covered herself properly. "I'm not afraid! Sharm aati hai mujhey." Shaurya laughed. "Main kaafi Kuch dekh juka Hun sweetheart." Her heartbeat jumped to her throat. "When?" He winked. "In the hut." Colour rose to her cheeks. "Besharam ho Tum pata hai?" Shaurya just chuckled. "Close your eyes then apply the ointment warna nai." Said Mehek. "How will I apply ointment with my eyes closed? Zyada natak mat karo let me do it." He pulled the duvet covers off her. "Shaurya please!" Mehek was pleading when her cell phone rang. It was chachi. "Shaurya its chachi." Said Mehek. "Talk to her but don't tell her about the incident ok?" Mehek nodded and picked up the phone. She got busy talking to chachi,finding golden opportunity Shaurya went on other side of the bed,crawling on the bed he sat beside her and gently lifted her thin top up from her back. Anger shot through him when he saw the bruises on her back. Careful not to hurt her he kissed her each bruise and applied ointment. "Hsss..." Mehek hissed and moaned. "Kya huwa beta?" Chachi asked from the other side. "Nothing chachi...mosquito bit me ..a big one." Embarrassed,she looked at Shaurya who was looking at her with widened eyes. "Use bug spray fir dekho kayse bhaagta hai." Said chachi. Mehek suppressed her giggle. "This one is a stubborn mosquito chachi,won't go easily." She teased him. "Main stubborn mosquito Hun!" He asked and kissed her bruises and all over her back. Trembling Mehek quickly hung up the phone before chachi could hear him. Her heart beat jumbed to her throat. "Kya kar rahe ho Shaurya...mat karo na please.." she pleaded. "Karunga!" Mosquito Hun na main? Bite toh karunga hii!" His warm lips on her back was too much to bear. "Shaurya please! I'm in pain and you are doing all this." He released her and pulled her top down. He then made her look at him. "Sorry I was trying to soothe your pain away and comfort you,I wanted to kiss away every tear you shed and make you forget everything that happened tonight." Tears swam in her eyes and she cupped his cheeks. "Aww Shaurya...your presence itself makes me feel better and my pain just goes away." She looked up and studied his face. With her tear stained face she pecked his lips and quickly hid in his chest. A satisfactory smile crept on his lips as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed the crown of her head. "You know Shaurya,You have the arms I want to be wrapped in. You have the eyes I want to get lost in. You have the smile I can never resist. You have the voice I want to listen to for hours and hours. And now I have decided I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Shaurya's heart fluttered with pure joy and he broke the hug. Mehek blushed at her own words and lowered her gaze in embarrassment. Shaurya put a finger under her chin and tilted her head up. "Really? Spend the rest of your life with me matlab you want to marry me?" Her cheeks changed shades of pink as she nodded her head,her fingers played with his shirt button. Shaurya's heart pounded as if it will explode at any second. "I love you toh kaha nai,seedha shaadi tak pahunch gayee?" With her flushed face she again hid in his chest. "Main kah dungi na." She whispered. "When? Jab main budha hojaaunga tabh?" He teased. She hit him on his chest gently. Shaurya laughed. He was happy as well as sad. Mehek had still not recovered from her memory loss. His mind was bombarding him with So many questions to which he didn't have answers. "Joh hoga dekha jaayga." He thought.

Laying her down on the bed he applied ointment to whereever it was needed and Mehek let him do it without complaining. She just looked at him with eyes full of love and adoration. Her tummy growled. "I'm hungry Shaurya..I'll go ask Rasi to make something for me." "Rasi has left,you lie down I'll go fetch something for you." Tucking her in Nicely he left towards the kitchen. Few minutes later his broccoli soup was ready and he was toasting few slices of garlic bread when his cell phone rang. Seeing Vicky's name flashing on the screen he quickly picked it up. "Bol Vicky any info on them?" "Ji bhai,I had their number traced,both are still in Chandigarh." Replied Vicky. "Bingo! Text me the location I'll deal with the rascals first thing in the morning." Said Shaurya. He hung up and turned the toaster off. Right at that instant the power went off and the farm house was covered in darkness. "What the hell!" Through the flashlight on his phone he searched for candles and lighters. "Shaurya!!!" Meheks cries reached his ears. "I'm coming Mehek! Stay there and don't move!" With his cell phone in his hand he ran towards his room. "Hurry up Shaurya I'm scared!" Screamed Mehek. Her heart pounded against her rib cage, and cold fear crawled along her backbone.. "I'm here daro mat it's just a power cut." He wrapped his arms around her and embraced her till she was quite and calm. "Let's go in the kitchen,after you eat I'll bring you back." "But I'm scared of the dark." She said softly. "Don't be,I'm with you." She sighed in relief when he said that. She held the cell phone while Shaurya scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the kitchen. He made her sit on the counter top. "Sit here while I look for candles." Finding the candles he lit it and placed it on the counter top. Faint light spread across the kitchen. "There! This should keep us going through the night." Said Shaurya as he poured the soup in a bowl. "I can help you know." She murmured. "Help me by finishing this soup and the toasts." He said while taking a spoonful of soup to her mouth. With a smile so beautiful she opened her mouth and he fed her. I'm not an invalid Shaurya I can eat myself." she protested each time, laughing. Still, she was pleased by the attention he gave her. He caressed her cheeks with the back of his hands. "Ayse hii hasti raho,acchi lagti ho." Her cheeks turned crimson. "You are my laughter Shaurya,if you are with me I'll always laugh." He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I'm done! Help me down na!" "One second! There's food on your lips." Before Mehek could protest his thumb was rubbing her glossy lips. Their gaze met. He had the most arresting eyes. A warm shade of dark brown. In the sunlight they looked golden and in the candlelight they looked like a mountain lion. She felt like prey, but it was a delicious feeling, not at all threatening. His thumb traced her lips. A whimper escaped her mouth. "Shaurya..." she whispered. Sensations shot through her as his fingers toyed with her lips. Butterflies growled in her tummy. Mehek very well knew what was coming. She could hear her heart pounding in her throat. Shaurya helped her down but their gazes were intact on each others face. On shaking legs, Mehek stood in front of him. She was pinned by his gaze. Glowing and darkening with each flicker of candlelight, his eyes focused on hers, without moving, without blinking. Her pulse pounded in her ears as he gently pulled her petite frame in his powerful arms. Her knees went weak and she grasped his shirt for support her feet. "My kiss will heal you faster." His words were quite but carried one hell of an impact. He leaned forward, his head dropping low, his lips hovering over hers.Their foreheads touched. His breathing quickened as did hers. He began nuzzling her neck with delicate kisses. So faint, they were whispers.Warmth radiated from the spot where his lips just touched her neck, slowly spreading through the rest of her. She urged herself to push away, but couldn't. Her limp body began to tremble uncontrollably. He then held her gently, cupping her face with one hand his other hand pushed her top down a bit from her shoulder. Her bruises were revealing. He leaned down and softly kissed the tender area at the base of her neck and shoulder where her bruises were. "Ahhh..." she moaned. Mehek was breathless with delight as he showered her with gentle, soft kisses to soothe her pain away. Finally his lips touched hers. Their eyes shut on their own. Sparks flew in every direction, and the world was slowly disappearing around them along with all of her pain she went through few hours back. He kissed her with his heart and soul and the world fell away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below her ear, his thumb caressing her cheek as their breaths mingled. She ran her fingers down his back, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them and she could feel the beating of his heart against her chest. Before things could go out of hand,Shaurya broke the kiss. Red and flushed,Mehek stood there with a lowered gaze. Shaurya tilted her head, shying away She looked at him from the corner of her eye. "Better?" He asked. "Hmm." Both smiled through the candlelight. He kissed her cheek and joined foreheads. Their noses rubbed and they stood there enveloped in each other's arms.

Few minutes later he carried her to his room,laid her down on his bed. Lighting a candle he placed it on the nightstand. Covering her nicely with the duvet covers he sat beside her. "Tum bhi soh jaao na its very late." She said softly. "Nai,I'll watch over you while you sleep." He leaned and placed a feather like kiss on her cheeks. "Good night babe." Mehek wove her fingers with his,hugging it to her chest she closed her tired eyelids. Shaurya spent the next hours watching her sleep, taking in every detail of her face, of her body. The way the soft glow of the candle light cast shadows on her cheeks. The way her chest rose and fell with each breath she took. Soon Shaurya also dozed off beside her.

Next morning Mehek woke up to find the bed empty. "Shaurya!" Putting on her robe she came out the room searching for him. Rasi the butlers wife was in the kitchen. "Rasi,did you see Shaurya anywhere?" "Sir toh office chalegay..Kuch khaya bhi nai." "This early?Theek hai I'll call him." Saying,Mehek came to his room and tried his cell phone cell but it was switched off. "Why did he switch the phone off?" She wondered. "May be he's in a meeting." Blabbering to herself she was making his bed when her eyes fell on a piece of paper sticking to the nightstand. She hurried towards it and read the note written by Shaurya. "Good morning sweetheart,hope you are feeling fine after the kiss we shared last night. I'm away for something very important,you eat and rest whole day. Rasi is there if you need anything. I'll be back soon. Love you!" Mehek hugged the note to her chest. She felt something was not right. Strange thoughts were invading her mind. "Calm down Mehek you are overreacting,everything is ok." She assured herself. Taking a deep breath she headed towards the washroom to freshen up.

It was late in the afternoon and Shaurya's phone was still switched off. Worried sick she called Neeta and enquired about Shaurya. "Both brothers are out for some urgent work,I haven't seen them since morning." Said Neeta. "Both brothers matlab?" Asked Mehek. "Vicky sir,he came from Delhi this morning." Neeta told her. Mehek got vickys number from Neeta and tried calling him. Vicky answered her call. "Bhaabi ...I mean Mehek,thank god you called! I was about to call you...bhai ko rok lo...he's bashing up Ajay and Rohit badly...if you don't stop him he'll kill them! Please hurry!" Mehek froze and swallowed to moisten her throat. She managed to ask the address and rushed out of the house asking the driver to drive the car as she hopped in. "Bhaiya please jaldhi chalao na!" The car accelerated towards the said location. Mehek prayed in her heart that nothing major happens and for Shaurya's safety. The car came to a halt with a jerk. "Kya huwa? car kiyu rok Di?" Asked Mehek. "I think the car has broken down." Said the driver while getting out. Mehek came out grimacing in anger. "Tell your sir to throw the car in the junk yard!" "I can't...meri Naukri chali jaaygi." The driver made a sad face. "Theek hai you sit here and cry! I'm going!" Mehek started running in the direction of the location which Vicky told her about. She fell,hurt herself,got up and kept on going. Huffing badly and out of breath she made it to where Shaurya and Vicky was. Ajay and Rohit was in bad shape with broken bones and black eyes. "Wasn't this the hand you touched her with!!!" Bolo you bloody...!!! " Shaurya screamed as he twisted Ajay's arm. "Shaurya stop!!!" Mehek cried. Shaurya twitched his head to find a frightened Mehek. "Please Shaurya...mere liye." She persuaded. "Nahi Mehek! They have to pay for what they did to you!" He Roared like a lion. Her gut tightened. She ran to him and grabbed his arm. "Please Shaurya ..you made them pay already...I mean look at them...please let the cops takeover from here." She pleaded. "Please Shaurya maan jaao na,humarey liye,humarey pyaar ke liye." He finally let him go. Ajay fell on the ground and passed out. One last side kick on Rohits stomach Made him see stars in the broad daylight. He collapsed. Shaura walked towards Mehek. He yanked off his aviator sunglasses, his eyes dark with fury sent shivers down her spine. Mehek gulped. "If anyone touches you I'll break their hands,any eyes that sees you with lust I'll pluck it out! Tumey chuney aur dekhne ka hak sirf mera hai,shaurya khanna ka! Samjhi Tum!" With tears in her eyes she l ran into his arms and sobbed. Her arms went around his waist holding him tight. Shaurya rested his chin on her head and inhaled a sigh of relief. Gradually he's anger disappeared and he was at peace with her in his arms.

Two pairs of eyes were watching them from behind a tree. "Sanjay,it's time Mehek should know about her past with her majnu khanna and how he broke her heart and dumped her at the alter." Sanjay looked worried. "Woh Sab toh theek hai but what is Vicky doing with them?" Swetlana made a face. "Don't you think you should ask this question to your beloved son?" And please don't start singing in your besura awaaz now!" Rolling her eyes she left. "Arey lekin this one is a new one I composed it just now!" But swetlana was gone. Sanjay mama shook his head in disbelief and followed after her.

Shaurya was driving towards the farm house,Mehek was in the passenger seat and Vicky at the back. Suddenly Mehek told him to stop the car. "What happened Mehek?" Asked Shaurya while stopping the car. "Look over there,your driver with your junk car." "Oye madam! That's not a junk it's an expensive car!" "Oh really? Come with me." The trio stepped out of the car. Vicky was suppressing his laughter. "What happened to the car?" Shaurya asked the driver. "Sir,the car broke down." Mehek went and stood by Shaurya and asked the driver. "How many times did this expensive car break down?" "Five times madam." Mehek looked at Shaurya who was glaring angrily at the driver. Getting caught he flashed his fake smile. "Phone please!" Ordered Mehek. "Phone kiyu? My phone is in good condition and working fine." Said Shaurya while handing the phone. She made a face at him and   dialled some numbers. Shaurya looked confused as to what she was up to. After talking few minutes she hung up. "Mehek,what's happening?" Who was that?" Asked Shaurya. "Tow truck!" She said. "Tow truck? But for what?" She walked to him. "To take us all for nice long drive." Vicky laughed. Mehek stood in front of Shaurya with the her hands on her hips. Shaurya leaned and whispered in vickys ears. "Yeh ladki Mehek hii hai na?" "Kya khusar phusar ho raha hai Tum dono ke beech?" She asked firmly. "Kuch nai Bhaabi he was telling me you are towing his car to the garage." Vicky bit his tongue. "Wrong mr khanna! I'm towing your lovely car to the junk yard!" Vickys eyes widened and shaurya throw up the water he was drinking. "Excuse me! You are towing my car to where?" Mehek smiled and pulled his cheeks. "To the junk yard mr khanna! And not this car only,your other cars which are sitting in Delhi and not functioning well will also join the junk yard soon." "Nooo!!!" Shaurya held his head and sat on the bonnet. Mehek clamped her lips to control her laugh. "Bhai,it's not too late you can still change your mind you know...she'll bankrupt you yaar!" Vicky whispered in his ear. "Vicky,Ek minute." He walked to where Mehek was standing and playing with her phone. "Mehek,have you been drinking?" Her jaw dropped open! "You!!!" She hit him from every side. Shaurya laughed and tried to save himself from her mini punches. Suddenly he pulled her in his arms and Mehek screamed. He was about to seal her lips with his when kabab mein haddi Vicky cleared his throat. "This is a public place and two public are still present here." "Teri toh!" Shaurya picked up a piece of wood and threw at him. He laughed and got in the car.
