Yeh Rishta kya Kehlata hai
Part 5:
Shaurya was punching the boxing bag thinking about all that happened a few hours back. He was angry at the way Mehak reacted when he asked her about Ajay in the lift. When he saw Ajay hugging Mehak, something boiled inside him. He wanted to follow them but Karuna called him up and insisted him to return home immediately. Had his mother not called, he would have definitely chased them and confronted Mehak.
Shaurya: Confronted Mehak? Why would I do that? Who is she?
He continued punching the bag more. He didn't know what was making him more angry - Mehak's behavior towards him or Mehak-Ajay's closeness?
Ever since his act (love confession), he had completely forgotten about Mehak's marriage to Ajay. In fact, Mehak too had forgotten that she was to wed Ajay in few months. Shaurya really didn't understand what he really wanted. His plan was to make Mehak fall in love with him and then break her heart to suffer for the rest of her life. It didn't bother him if she married any Tom, Dick and Harry or that son of **** Ajay.
Shaurya angrily: Wht is wrong with me? I won ..I humiliated her..She cried and that's what I wanted. I wanted to show her how it feels when somebody who you trust a lot breaks your heart into pieces. She cursed me that I will never find love and will always be in pain but I made sure that she experiences that pain...Ahhh...I hate you Mehak Sharma...I hate you..You bring out the beast in me...Ever since I have met you, everything has gone wrong in my life.. I who had never apologized to anyone in my life had to beg in front of the investors and then you...U made me feel so weak in front of others..I had to teach you a lesson and I just did that.. then what is it that is bothering me so much? Why am I not happy and satisfied? Why dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With that thought, he kept on punching the bag. He was so engrossed in it that he didn't realize his mother calling him. After several failed attempts, Karuna touched Shaurya's shoulder and said: Shaurie...Shaurie??
Shaurya: Yes Maa...
Karuna: Is everything alright Shaurie? I called you so many times but tumne mujhe suna hi nahi...
Karuna was really worried for Shaurya for the last few days. She knew something was bothering him but she couldn't pinpoint to what it was. The Khanna house help, Awaara, had informed her that Shaurya had come home very angry and refused to have dinner.
Karuna: Why didn't you have dinner? Bahar khaakar aaya hai?
Shaurya: Hmm nahi...not in the mood to eat Maa...
Karuna: Wht is with the workout today? Its been 2 hours since u r back home and you are still continuing with it. I guess you should stop now. You will injure yourself.
Shaurya couldn't say no to his mother. He stopped it immediately but if he wanted, he wouldn't mind doing it for the rest of the night. There was lot of frustration that he had to vent.
Karuna: Shaurie sit with me for sometime. Its been a long time that you had a chat with your mother. Aaj kal toh tu kuch jyaada hi busy rehne laga hai.
For Shaurya, his mother meant the world to him. Everyone knew how much he adored this lady who loved him like his own son. To be honest, he didn't respect her; he worshipped her.
Shaurya smiled: Yes Maa, sorry I couldn't give you much time. Really sorry for that.
Seeing her son smile, Karuna was assured that everything is fine and that she need not worry.
Karuna: So how was your day? Your hotel had an event today...engagement ceremony right? How was it?
Shaurya: It was good...very tiring. Mr. Malhotra wouldn't let me breathe even for a second...It was really tough to handle him.
Karuna smiled: Ha toh thik hi hai na...of course he will be worried. Its his son's engagement..any parent would be..I too wish to take that stress only if my son, The great Shaurya Khanna, agrees to get married. By the way, how is Mehak?
Shaurya was caught off-guard with that question. He got up from his chair and walked towards the balcony.
Shaurya angrily: What has she got to do with my marriage?
Karuna: Aree...I was just asking. I haven't met her since a long time. If I am not wrong, the last time I met her was in your hotel when my friend Savita had come for lunch. So bas yaad aa gayi.
Shaurya: How would I know how she is doing? She is my employee...I don't talk to her much...
He didn't like the concern his mother was showing for Mehak. He hated it. It really bothered when he would hear people talking good things about her. At the hotel, it was only Mehak, her dish, her simplicity and what not...He never understood what everyone saw in her. She was just a middle class behenji. There was nothing special about her nor was she good looking. Moreover, she was fat and not like those skinny hotel staff that he had working for him.
He was still lost in his thoughts when he heard his mother calling out his name.
Karuna: Shaurie are you listening? Kahan khoye ho?
Shaurya: Ha...yes yes I am..So what were you saying?
Karuna: I know beta that Mehak is your employee but I thought that you two had become friends..
Shaurya didn't let his mother complete her sentence: Mom please she is not my friend and you know well that I don't have any friends..yeh sab bekaar ke rishte main nahi manta...They are useless...
Karuna: Fine Shaurie, why are you reacting so much? Anyways, I was just saying that Mehak's husband would be really very lucky to have her...She is such a sweet girl...Hamesha doosro ke bare mein sochti hai...Every time I think about her, a smile comes on my lips..I wish she gets all the happiness in her life.
Shaurya: Why do you think about her so much? There is nothing special about her Maa...please
Karuna smiled: Aree ab main uske bare main soch bhi nahi sakti...Tum bhi na Shaurya...anyways its very late...Sleep now...Bahut ho gaya work out...Good night.
She kissed him on forehead and left. Karuna's words had made him think. Why was everything always about Mehak? What was so special about her? She slapped him in front of the media and everyone sympathized with her but nobody questioned her for her act. All sort of wild accusations were made against him.
Shaurya questioned himself: Did I do anything wrong?
Before his heart could dare answer the truth, his mind spoke: No ways, you could never be wrong.
Satisfied with the answer, he smiled and went to his room to sleep.
Today was one of the tiring days for the entire kitchen staff at the hotel. It was a routine at the hotel to meet in every 2 months to discuss and plan new recipes in the menu. It was Rajeev who had come up with such an idea to target not only their customers but also the staff to open up and come up with innovative ideas. Head chef Alok Sinha would head this session where he would encourage new ideas from his junior chefs. The session would include discussions one new recipes or varying certain ingredients in regular dishes to enhance their tastes and flavors. At times, Rajeev would participate in these sessions depending on his schedule. However, he had strictly requested Shaurya to not come for these sessions as he felt that the chefs would feel uncomfortable and conscious in his presence. Also, Shaurya's busy schedule wouldn't leave much scope for him to join either.
However, Shaurya decided to make an exception for this session. He purposefully sat for this session only for one reason - to torture Mehak. For the last few days, she had been avoiding him very well but Shaurya wouldn't give up so easily. He decided to attend this meeting so that he could evoke a reaction from her and then break her. With that thought, he made his way to the conference room where all the chefs were seated. None of them knew that their MD was going to be a part of this meeting not even Alok. When he entered the room, all were shocked seeing him especially Alok. There was pin drop silence in the room now. Mehak was writing something in her book when she realized that all were quiet. She looked up to see the reason for silence only to find Shaurya standing at the door with a sly smile staring at her. Mehak knew why he had come here. She looked down and continued writing in her book. Shaurya was annoyed with that reaction.
Shaurya thought: Bloody hell! Who is she showing that attitude to? Just wait and watch Ms. Sharma...aaj ki meeting mein tumhe rulaya nahi toh mera bhi naam Shuarya Khanna nahi.
Alok: Hello Sir, are you attending thi session too?
Shaurya: No I have come here to see the room...what kind of question is that?
Alok gulped down his fear and looked at Shaurya.
Alok: Sorry Sir. Please have a seat. We are really happy that you are here. I am sure the chefs will be pleased to hear your inputs too.
Shaurya nodded and took the centre seat. It was Mehak's bad luck that that she was sitting next to him.
Shaurya smirked: So shall we start? He said so and winked at Mehak.
Mehak thought: Relax Mehak. Don't look at him. Remember the mantra: DON'T REACT AND JUST IGNORE.
Alok: So let us start. Good afternoon everyone. Please tell me if you have any new recipes that can be added in our menu?
With Alok heading the session, it was always a fun filled meeting with everyone casually discussing their ideas. In Shaurya's presence, they felt burdened to put across their ideas fearing that he might counter question them. Alok too sensed the uneasiness and pressure that his junior chefs were having due to Shaurya's presence so he didn't prod them further. He decided he would discuss this offline with them.
Alok: Ok in that case, let's move on to the other topic. Are there any variations that you guys would like to suggest in our already planned menu? Any change in ingredients?
Mehak was concentrating on what Alok was saying. However, she could feel Shaurya's eyes digging holes into her back. He was making her feel very uncomfortable with his stares but she decided to stay calm and not react. She refrained herself form looking into his direction. Alok was giving his inputs regarding the menu and everyone were noting them down in their books. Shaurya continued staring at Mehak for quite some time when he finally decided to take matters in his own hand.
Shaurya: Stop Alok. I am amazed that no one has any new ideas regarding the menu. That's just not possible.
All the chefs grew uncomfortable and started stifling in their seats glancing around to avoid his eyes thinking that if they look at him, he would ask them the question.
Shaurya smirked: Ms. Sharma any ideas?
Mehak looked at Shaurya nervously and got up from her seat.
P.S. tht was an awfully long update...phew...
