Benaam Rishta
Chapter 14
"Mehek! Listen to me yaar!" Shaurya howled behind her. But Mehek was already inside the haveli. Frustrated,Shaurya kicked the pot plant on the stairs and sent few punches in the air. "Mehek Bhaabi! Did you find bhai?" Vicky who was waiting for her in the hall asked. "He's outside." She answered sadly. Suppressing her tears she left towards her room.

Rain fell that night, a fine, whispering rain. Mehek couldn't go to sleep. She just tossed and turned in bed remembering how Shaurya had eaten the chillies in anger and then the swelling of his lips "Idiot Kahi ka! Pata nai Kya saabit karna chahta hai! Somehow I have to make him go back ...I can't see him in pain...Everyday he will get hurt while challenging Rahul...and I can't see him hurting...It hurts me badly." Tears formed in her eyes. Pulling out his shirt from under her pillow,she hugged it to her chest and sobbed. The rain was pouring hard outside,suddenly the wind blew and the window flung open. Mehek rushed to shut it before the rain water could come in. Lightning flashed. Thunder crashed. Rain slashed. She looked out the window,and she saw him. The rain cast a kind of pallor on the darkness, and the stranger was little more than a shadow. Only his face gleamed white as he looked up at Mehek. His hair clung to his wet forehead. The rain was falling on him, but he ignored it. He stood there motionless, arms crossed over his chest as if that might at least warm him a little. And he kept on staring at her. "Shaurya!!!" She cried. "What you doing over there? Come inside you'll catch a cold!" She screamed. Shaurya didn't move an inch. Rain ran down his face and throat as he watched her. "You won't listen na?" You wait there I'm coming!" Angrily she came downstairs and rushed out in the rain. Drenching in rain water,she ran towards him. "Are you gone mad?" Bimaar par jaogey Shaurya! Andar Chalo abhi ke abhi!" Grabbing his hand she pulled him towards the haveli when suddenly he stopped. Turning she looked up at him and he was stunned. "Kya huwa? Don't tell me you are planning to stay here all night doing meditation?" Shaurya wasn't paying attention to any of her words. He was lost in her beauty. With raindrops caught in the sweep of her eyelashes and her coffee streaked hair tossed around her face in soft layers, she was more gorgeous than he remembered. Raindrops slipped down to her sculpted cheeks and to her tempting lips that was set in a startled pout. Before Mehek could utter another word he pulled her petite figure in his powerful arms. Her heart raced. Her hands automatically grasped his wet shirt and his rugged hands landed on her hips. Rain poured hard,soaking them wet from head to toe. Their gaze met in the dim light shinning on them from the haveli. Her eyes were warm and her lips, slick with rainwater,as if begging to be kissed. He hauled her body close to his and bent his head so that his lips were suspended just above hers.Water droplets from his lips fell on her parted lips and disappeared inside her mouth. Her chest rose and fell in anticipation as he cupped her cheeks. Both could hear their chest pounding on them. "I ate the chillies because of you Mehek." He said softly. She gulped the rain water which was on her lips. "Because of me? Why? What did I do?" She asked,her legs going weak on her. "You said yes to that jerk for marriage that's why." Mehek removed his hands from her face. "And you thought hurting yourself will make me change my mind?" Jakkhi ho tum? Ayse ideas aate kaha se hai tumey? Don't do this again you hear me? You don't know how much it hur.." she couldn't go any further. Tears rolled down her cheeks along with the rain water. She turned to go when he hauled her to him once again. "How much what Mehek sharma?" "Nothing...just let me go!" She said while twisting in his arms. "And you think I'll let you go? No Mehek! Never!" His hold tightened around her. "I'm sorry my love,but You have to pay a hefty fine for what those chillies did to my mouth!" He ordered. Mehek continued twisting within his wet arms to break loose. "I don't know what fine you are talking about Shaurya ...please let me go kisi ne hum dono ko saath dekh liya toh problem hogi...please!" She pleaded. Shaurya cupped her wet cheeks once again. "You didn't leave me with an option! Now give me kiss so sweet that will take away the burning in my mouth...and mind you,I don't give a damn if anybody sees us like this!" He said with so much authority in his voice. "A kiss?" Butterflies growled in her tummy and her heart raced as if it will explode at any minute. Look, Shaurya, she said while swallowing to find words."I understand that you're a man used to getting your way, of being in charge, of making things happen, but this time you can't, okay? At least not with me, not anymore..so please if you excuse me I'll take a leave." Shutting off all her feelings and emotions she managed to say and struggled to break free. "Excuse you my foot! I'll never excuse you Mehek sharma! Not in this life nor in the life's to come! Samjhi tum?" He pulled her body more on to him and before she could rebel his mouth was on hers and he kissed her in the pouring rain, he pressed his mouth over hers and felt her surrender when her lips parted and her breath mingled with his as rain drenched them both. The scent of her perfume teased his nostrils and memories of their love encounters in the farm house burned through his brain.she'd responded to him then, just as she was now. Mehek was lost in the feel of him,his hand in her hair,his hard body pressed to her soft one and his warm lips on hers,old emotions escaped from the place where she'd so steadfastly locked them long ago.With a groan he kissed her harder, deeper, his arms tightening around her.When his manhood throbbed on her navel,Her entire body stiffened. She jerked her head away. "Don't, she warned, her voice husky, her lips trembling a bit. She swallowed hard, then leaned back to glare up at him.He almost smiled. Even at times like these, he could still find a joke. "Tume hassi aa rahi hai? Stupid! Idiot! Bandar!" She pushed him away and he fell on the wet ground on purpose. "Shaurya!" She ran to him and tried to help him up. "Are you ok? Tume lagi toh nai na?" Worry and concern was clearly seen in her eyes and voice. Shaurya caught her arm and pulled her down on him. With a cry,Mehek landed on his rock hard chest. "Why do you care miss sharma?" His eyes locked onto her, seeming to pin her to the spot where she lay. "You still love me don't you Mehek?" The sound of his voice washed over her,a deep, rich voice that she could listen to every second,every minute and never get bored. "I...I...I .." she stuttered. He smiled that bone-melting smile. "I ..I bloody hell!" Why can't you just say I love you? Huh?" He held her shoulders and rolled over crashing her to the wet ground. Sucking in a breath,Mehek lay crushed under his huge frame. Rain continued to pour hard on them. "Shaurya please! Let me go!" She writhed under him. "I didn't mean to hurt you, she said. He caught her wrists and pinned it to the wet ground. "But you did Mehek sharma!" He said. Her eyes searched his face as she lay vulnerable under him. "I'm sorry...please mujhey jaane doh." She begged. "Not until you promise me to break all ties with Rahul." He ordered. "Yeh Kya bachpana hai Shaurya? We'll catch a cold...Chalo yaha se!" She said softly. "So you will not listen to what I say?" He asked while pressing himself more on her. "Why would I? Kaun ho tum mere? Lagte kiya ho tum mere?" Mehek was asking for trouble. His expression changed suddenly. His eyes were catlike, burning in the darkness, hot with anger. Her whole body was shaking with cold and fear of him. His pupils widened, darkening his eyes to the color of the ocean at night. His eyes seemed to devour her, and she in turn was staring at him with a thudding heart. "I'm your first love Mehek sharma!" Tears formed in her eyes and flowed with the rain water when he said that. Rain slowed down. Silence fell over them as they both stared deep in each other's eyes. "I know that Shaurya." She said in her heart. Her concentration was fragmenting, she couldn't grasp onto it, thoughts flying from her head like the spray of the ocean dissolving in the air. Lightning forked up and down her veins and she went numb. Moving her wet hair from her face he whispered. "I know you still love me ...as I love you! And I also know you remember those 8 months we spent together!" Before she could defend herself and utter a single word, his mouth was on hers. The shock was all she felt at first, his warm mouth against hers, and then she tasted him,and it was as if someone had flipped a switch inside her body and turned on all the lights."Shaurya.." she murmured against his lips, not taking her mouth away from his. They were clasped together, wet,cold,hot and burning all at once. He leaned more into her, kissing her harder, feverishly, his huge hands burying themselves in the thickness of her wet hair. The weight of him bore her down onto the ground. She clutched at him, at his shoulders, her fingers digging into his skin through his thin cotton shirt. She gasped into his mouth when he reached down to grab the hem of her soaking wet top,then his hand started to rub and massage her wet tummy. A whimper escaped her mouth. Sucking and tasting her lips He kissed his way down her throat, his breath warm on her skin. Rolling his tongue on her wet throat and biting gently on her neck he kissed her softness through her wet and sticky top. Mehek was lost in the flow as he pleasured her with his hot tongue. He went down to where his hand was,lifting her top up a little bit he kissed her tummy all over,leaving her with bruises. Pulling her soaked pyjamas an inch down he kissed the hem of her lacy lingerie. In between her moan she heard footsteps. "Shaurya! Someone's coming ...please utho!" She whispered. "I'm not done yet!" Said Shaurya. Mehek twitched her head to see Rahul nearing them. "Shaurya,its Rahul! please choro mujhey!" She requested. "First tell me you remember our eight months together then I'll let you go warna nai!" Mehek tried to push him away but he was heavy. Rahul was nearing them faster. Mehek swallowed hard. Shaurya was looking at her face for and answer. Left with no option She cupped his face and said softly. "I remember each and every moment spent with you Shaurya ...the time we spent in the farm house I can never ever forget." Smile crept on Shaurya lips,quickly pecking her lips twice he rolled away. Mehek stood up and ran behind a tree and hid there.

"Dude! What you doing here in the rain? Asked Rahul. Shaurya lay on the wet grass,looking at the sky above. "I was having a rain bath!" He told him. "Ajeeb insaan ho yaar tum! And who was that girl with you?" He asked. Shaurya sat up. "So you have seen her?" "Well I couldn't see her face,tell me dude who was it?" Rahul was curious to know. "My girlfriend! She lives here in Jaipur and came to meet me when the world was sleeping." Said Shaurya. "Oh really? I would love to meet her." Shaurya got up and shook the rain water from his shirt. "You'll meet her soon because I'm marrying her right here in this haveli and you'll be needed to rain flowers on us as we'll do the pheres." Shaurya was looking at the tree where Mehek was hiding as he spoke. "Wow dude! Tum toh mujhse bhi aagey nikle!" You are a genius!" Rahul didn't mean what he was saying,he was just pretending to be happy for shaurya. "Tell me something new!" Shaurya taunted him. Rahul faked a laugh and told Shaurya to come inside. "You go I'll come a little later." As soon as Rahul left,Shaurya went behind the tree to get Mehek. Before anyone could utter a single word,they started sneezing simultaneously. "I told you na you'll catch a cold? Abh dekho Tumarey saath saath main bhi bimaar padhgayee!" Said Mehek while shivering. "I'm sorry...let's go inside." Shaurya scooped her up in his arms,Mehek grasped his shirt with the cold and buried her head on his chest as he carried her towards the haveli. "Put me down I'll go from here." Said Mehek while shivering as they entered the main entrance. "I'll take you to your room." Not listening to her,he carried her to her room. "I'll be ok...you go change now Shaurya." Said Mehek as he put her down. Shaurya nodded. "Put some warm cloths on..and get some sleep I'll see you in the morning." Touching her cheek with the back of his finger he left with a sneeze.

Next morning everyone met at the breakfast table except Shaurya and Mehek. Later,Karuna ma went to see if Shaurya was ok. She found him burning with fever. "Idhar tum bimaar ho Aur udhar Mehek,were you both having rain bath last night?" Asked Karuna ma while opening the windows for fresh air. "Mehek is sick because of me ma. Did she have her breakfast?" Asked Shaurya worriedly. "I knew it! Nahi she didn't ..because of the fever she lost her appetite." Said Karuna ma while handing him a glass of water and medicine. "Shaurya sir,your breakfast." Manju entered the room with a tray full of breakfast. "Have this and get some rest,I'm going out for shopping..I'll see you at dinner time. Vicky will stay with you if you need anything." Caressing his head lovingly,Karuna ma left. "Vicky and Manju,I need your help in the kitchen to make kaada for Mehek,will you guys help me?" Asked Shaurya. "We'll make it bhai,you also have a fever and need to rest." Said Vicky. "How can i rest when my Mehek is sick? She needs me yaar...I'm responsible for her condition...so I will do my best and take care of her." Both Manju and Vicky nodded their heads in agreement.

Purohits have left with Karuna ma for shopping. Daadi and daddu were in their room. Rahul was nowhere to be found. Tying an apron around his waist,Shaurya got busy in the kitchen making herbal medicine which Mehek had taught him long time ago. His fever rose and he felt dizzy but he continued with the medicine. "Bhai,we'll take over from here,you should go and rest." Vicky said,while feeling bad for his bro. "until I feed this kaada to Mehek I'll not rest in peace." Vicky and Manju got tired of him so they left.

Pouring the kaada in a glass,Shaurya left towards Meheks room. He knocked on the door. "Door is open come inside!" Rahul's voice came from inside the room. "What the hell is he doing inside?" He pushed the door open angrily. He couldn't believe what he saw in front of his eyes. Rahul was forcefully feeding Mehek a glass of something he made for her cold and fever. "Rahul ji this taste so yucky..please I don't want it!" Cried Mehek. He was about to say something when his eyes fell on Shaurya standing by the door. "Hey buddy do you need anything?" Asked Rahul. Shaurya looked at Mehek instead. "I brought this kaada for you Mehek..have it you'll feel better." Before she could say anything Rahul cut her off. "Well thanks! She's having the kaada which I made for her...wait a minute! You also have a cold right? Why don't you have it?" Mehek felt bad when he said that. She sadly looked at Shaurya who's expression has changed. At that moment She felt like slapping Rahul hard! She opened her mouth to say something when Rahul shoved a spoonful of solution into her mouth. Shaurya fumed with anger. His anger and fever rose simultaneously. His head spun making him dizzy. Before he could fall,Vicky came running to him and held him. "Bhai! Sambhalke! You have a fever Aur subha se Kuch khaya bhi nai...rakho isey yaha Aur Chalo yaha se!" Vicky said while taking the glass from his hand and putting it on the nightstand. Mehek looked at Shaurya with teary eyes. She came to know he had made kaada for her even though he himself was unwell. Glancing painfully at Mehek,Shaurya left with Vicky holding him. Rahul's cell phone rang,he searched his pant pocket for the phone when Mehek pushed the glass with her hand and the glass full of kaada fell on the floor! Rahul's kaada was wasted! "What did you do?" Do you know how much energy I put in making that?" He shouted. "I'm sorry it was an accident." Mehek lied. "I'm trying to help you recover faster,tomorrow is our roka you know that right?" Meheks eyes widened in utter shock! "Roka? I'm not re...I'm mean it's too soon...I didn't expect our wedding functions to start this soon." Rahul chuckled. "Before you start having second thoughts,I want us to get married and move to London as soon as possible." He told her. Meheks heart sank. She wanted Rahul out of her room at that moment. "Rahul ji,don't forget you have to go pick up Karuna ma and Aunty from the shopping mall." "Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me!" He howled for Manju to clean up the mess,throwing a flying kiss at Mehek he left. Mehek made an ugly face at him.

Mehek was pacing the room thinking about her Roka with Rahul. "Hope Shaurya stops it and takes me away..." Tears made its way down her cheeks. "Did you really say that?" Manju interrupted her. She quickly dried her tears. "No I didn't!" Manju giggled. "Stop laughing and tell me if the coast is clear so that I can go see Shaurya." Said Mehek while grabbing the glass of kaada which Shaurya made. "Coast is clear Di...no ones home except me and Vicky ji...jaao mil lo apne honewaale pati se." Her last four words made Mehek blush. She made her way towards Shaurya's room.
