Part 16:

Ajay and his family were sitting in the living room of the Sharmas when Mehak and Sonal entered the house.

Mansi chachi: Lo Mehak bhi aa gayi.

Mehak took the blessings of her would be mother-in-law Pammi and took the seat next to her.

Pammi: How are you beta?

Mehak: I am fine Auntyji.

Pammi (feigning sweetness): Oh come on beta, I am going to be your mother-in-law so please stop calling me auntyji. Call me Mummyji.

Mehak smiled faintly: Ji Mummyji.

Kaanta was happy seeing all this. She was relieved to see her daughter being treated so well by Pammi. This made her think that she had indeed taken the right decision of getting Mehak married to Ajay when her entire family was against her for this alliance.

Kaanta chachi: Ji behenji, she will surely call you mummyji.

Ajay: Chachi if you don't mind can I take Mehak out for dinner tonight?

Mehak didn't want to go and she desperately prayed to her Maata Rani that chachi would refuse the same. Chachi looked at PD and Dadaji who nodded yes.

Kaanta chachi: Ahh...ha ha bacche why not? She is your would be wife and the two of you need to spend some time together away from the prying eyes of the family. You can take her out but please come home on time. You know how unsafe Delhi is.

Ajay: yes chachi don't worry about that. Mehak, get ready..we will leave in sometime so that we can return home early.

Nehal and Sonal took Mehak to her room to get her ready for her dinner date.

Sonal: Chal kudiye, let's get you ready for your date!!

Nehal: Di, wear something western. That will definitely impress our would be jiju.

Sonal: Yeah you should wear a skirt...Tera honewala pati toh ghayal hi ho jaayega.

Mehak (irritatingly): Please guys, I am not going to wear any of that. I am wearing a suit. Thats' it!

She went to her cupboard and took out a simple maroon suit to wear.

Sonal held her hand and stopped her: Is everything alright Mehak? Any girl would have got so excited if she got to spend some time with her fiance and look at you, you don't even seem interested. What is it? Aren't you feeling well or do you not want to go?

Mehak wanted to tell everything to Sonal about Shaurya's betrayal and Ajay's behavior. But more than that she wanted to confess to Sonal that she never liked Ajay. She just couldn't consider him as her life partner. There was something so wrong with this match.

Mehak: Sonal, I wan...

Before she could complete her sentence, Mansi chachi came to their room: Arre bacchiyon, what are you girls doing? And Mehak what is this? You still haven't got ready..Bacche please get ready. Ajay is waiting for you. Please jaldi se!!

Saying so, chachi left the room and went downstairs.

Mehak was making her way towards the washroom to change when Sonal stopped her: You were saying something Mehak? Kya baat hai?

Mehak decided to not tell her anything. Only 15 days were left for her wedding and she knew that she won't be able to convince chachi against this alliance in such a short span of time. The wedding invites had already been sent. Her family had already been through a lot during her ISC stint all thanks to Mr. Shaurya Khanna. She didn't want the mohallawallas to talk ill against her family any more. If this marriage could save her family's reputation in the society, she would just do that.

Mehak smiled: No nothing..I was just nervous that's it.

Nehal: Are you sure Di?

Mehak pulled Nehal's cheeks lovingly and said: Ha my dadima..I am fine..stop worrying you both!! Now let me get dressed.

At the hotel, Ajay was telling Mehak about how the women in his office were disappointed with his marriage while Mehak was playing with her food ignoring him completely.

Ajay: Seriously Mehak, I have tried telling those girls that I am a committed man now but no..they just don't want to listen..Come on, I can't marry every single girl out there..I can only marry one woman and you are the chosen one...Am I right?

Mehak pretended to smile and nodded.

It had been an hour that they had to come to the hotel for dinner and in this one hour, it was Ajay who was doing all the talking with Mehak pretending to listen.

Ajay: Jaan, why don't you tell me about your ex boyfriends? I wouldn't mind ...I told you about my ex girlfriends...So what about you?

Mehak: I had none...

Ajay: Oh yes...tum toh itni seedhi saadhi ho that you having a boyfriend doesn't seem a chance at all...n upar se tum thodi..

Before he could say anything further, Mehak looked up from the plate at him. She knew he meant to say that she was fat but stopped. She had been hearing people passing a lot of comments on her weight since childhood. Frankly speaking, it didn't bother her or rather it never bothered her coz she loved herself. She loved the way she was and didn't want anything to change about herself.

Mehak simply smiled looking at him: Yeah you are right, who would want to date a girl who is fat and wears salwar kameez?

Ajay embarrassingly: No no jaan don't say that..You are beautiful..See I am marrying you so of course you are beautiful..I didn't mean to say that..I wa..

Before he could complete his sentence, Mehak's phone rang. She looked at the caller id. It was her supervisor Jia.

Mehak thought: Why is she calling me now?

Mehak answered the call and said: Hello, Good evening Mam.

Jia: Hi Mehak how are you? I hope I am not disturbing you. Is it the right time to talk to you?

Mehak looked at Ajay and spoke: Yes Mam, what is it?

Jia: I have called to invite you for an after event party organized by the board of directors next Thursday at the hotel. It was decided by the bosses to invite all the staff who are and were a part of the event for the party to appreciate their hard work. I hope that you would come for the party.

Mehak: No Mam, I won't be coming.

Jia: Is there a problem Mehak?

Mehak: No Mam, it's just that my wedding is in 10 days and on Friday its my sangeet, so I would be very busy during my marriage preparations. I hope you understand Mam.

Jis: Of course Mehak, I do. Your wedding is more important. I am sure everyone would have loved to have you back at the hotel but then its okay. We understand your situation. Anyways, please let me know if you decide to change your mind. All the best and we will meet you at your wedding.

Mehak: Yes Mam. Thank you. Good night!

As soon as Mehak disconnected the call, Ajay asked impatiently: Who was it and what party were you talking about?

Mehak: Nothing. It was my supervisor. She was inviting me for the after event party at the hotel next Thursday.

Ajay shockingly: And you refused? Why?

Mehak looked at him: Yes coz I didn't want to go and besides, I have resigned.

Ajay: Yes but they have invited you. We could have gone there..

Mehak looked at him with surprise at his "we word.

For the past half an hour, Ajay was hell bent on trying to convince her to go for the party. Mehak turned a deaf ear to all his reasons. She knew that he wouldn't give up unless she agrees to go for the party. Finally, irritated with his continuous blabbering and to divert the topic, she said: Shall we order the dessert?

Ajay opened his mouth to say something but then stopped and signaled the waiter to take their order for dessert.

They finished their dinner and headed towards Ajay's car.

They had reached only a few meters when the car stopped. Ajay tried starting the engine thrice but it just wouldn't start. Ajay and Mehak both got down from the car to check. Ajay opened the bonnet of his car for a quick inspection. He seemed clueless but since he didn't want to look like a fool in front of Mehak, he pretended that he knew what the problem was.

Ajay: Damn, the engine has become hot and I don't even have water in my car. I guess we will have to take a ride back home Mehak.

Mehak didn't show but she was little scared at the situation that they were in but they had no other option. They started looking for an auto when a black sedan car halted in front of them.

Mehak and Ajay looked at the car suspiciously waiting for the owner of the car to roll down the windows.

Ajay surprisingly: Bade Bhai aap?

Mehak was shocked to see Shaurya in the car. They were seeing each other after a long time.

Shaurya: What are you guys doing here in the middle of the road at this time of the night?

Ajay: Oh nothing. We had a date you see bhai and we were on our way back home when my car broke down.

Shaurya looked at Mehak and spoke: Get in the car. I will drop you both.

Before Ajay could say anything, Mehak spoke: No not needed. We will take an auto. We don't want to trouble you.

Ajay smilingly: Are, what trouble Mehak? He is my bade bhai and your boss...Oh sorry ex-boss and it will be very difficult to get an auto at this time. Bhai thank you very much. Mehak, get in the car.

Left with no choice, Ajay sat in the passenger seat and Mehak at the back seat.

Shaurya: So how was your "date?

Shaurya asked Ajay but looked at Mehak through the rear view mirror. Mehak saw him looking at her through the mirror. She turned her face and looked outside the window.

Ajay excitedly: Oh it was great!! Only 10 days are left for our wedding. I hope you will come for your chote bhai's wedding.

Shaurya: hmmm.

Ajay: I heard that you have arranged a party for your staff net Thursday.

Shaurya gave him a questioning look.

Ajay: Woh...Mehak had got a call from her supervisor inviting her for the party..Toh mujhe pata chala.

Shaurya: hmmm.

Ajay: But Mehak refused?

Shaurya was disappointed but somewhere he knew that she would.

Still taking a chance, he said: The entire staff is going to be there Ms. Sharma and you too had worked on the recipes, so you should come too.

Before Mehak could answer him, Ajay interrupted: Wohi toh bade bhai...I told her that we both will go for the party. Issi bahane I will meet her colleagues too and aapse bhi mil leta..Hai na???

Shaurya was getting irritated with Ajay's talks. He wasn't letting Mehak talk at all.

Ajay: Bas decided we will come for the party..Mehak hum jaa rahe hai..

Mehak: But I don...

Ajay: No my decision is final..we are going matlab going..Final!!

Mehak gave an angry look to Shaurya through the rear view mirror.

Shaurya: So where should I drop you both? Parathewali galli? Ya phir kahin aur?

Ajay: Bhai, my house is on the way on the main road. Will you please drop Mehak at her place?

Mehak: Nahi, I will get down with you and take an auto from there.

Ajay: Aree but he is ready to drop you ghar tak, toh why are you going by auto? And in that case, I will have to come with you again in the auto...Bewaajah time waste...Please Mehak go with Shaurya Sir.

Shaurya: I will drop her...Just tell me exactly where your house is?

Ajay: Bas take a right...

Shaurya drove as per Ajay's instructions.

After 15 minutes, Shaurya pulled his car in front of Ajay's bungalow. Ajay got down from the car and waved a flying kiss at Mehak. Mehak bid him good night.

Shaurya insisted her to come and sit in the passenger seat. After she refused a lot and he insisted a lot, she finally agreed and came to sit in the front seat.

Mehak could feel him staring at her.

Mehak irritatingly: Do you intend to drive the car or do you want me to get down?

Shaurya started the engine and watched her with an amused expression: I thought you would return his flying kiss but you didn't...Thought you would play the game of jealousy.

Mehak looked straight at him and spoke: I am not good at playing games Shaurya...I realised very early in my life that I don't have the qualities of a winner...I am a lose..

Shaurya: Why are you saying that?

Mehak: Why are you getting offended? I am not talking about you but myself..

Shaurya frustratingly: This confidence of yours...Why don't you use it when you are answering your so called dominating good for nothing fiance?

Mehak didn't want any sort of argument with Shaurya. She was genuinely irritated with the helplessness of her current situation. In 10 days, everything was going to change. She was getting restless thinking about her wedding day. She also knew that Shaurya wanted her to talk ill against Ajay. Even if he was right about him, she just didn't want to have any kind of conversation with him regarding Ajay now hence, Mehak preferred to ignore Shaurya's question.

Shaurya frustratingly: Why what happened? You don't have any explanation for this or do you not want to defend your fiance? Waise bhi your fiance doesn't even let you talk..

Mehak: Just not interested.

There was complete silence after that. Shaurya chose not to prod further on this topic but he desperately wanted to talk to her. He had missed her in those 15 days and today when he saw her and Ajay stranded on the road, he couldn't believe his luck.

Mustering some courage, Shaurya asked: I had called you after I had returned from Tokyo...I had seen you had come to meet Rajeev to give your wedding card.

Mehak: Oh did you not get the card? I had couriered it to Khanna Mansion..I though..

Shaurya angrily: That's not what I meant to ask Mehak...I was just..

Mehak: Then why had you called?

Shaurya hesitated and briefly appeared at a loss for words. He himself didn't know what he would have asked or said to her.

Mehak looked at him waiting for his answer.

Shaurya hesitatingly: I want...I..

Mehak: I guess you forgot..maybe you wanted to wish me for my wedding.

Shaurya angrily: Definitely not...why are you even marrying that git? Don't tell me you don't know why he wants to come with you to the party. This guy is using this opportunity to hobnob with the high society people..Why can't you see that or have you become blind?

Mehak smilingly: I am not blind Shaurya. I can see everything. May be few months back, I was this dumb girl who thought that the world around her is filled with beautiful people who only have love and care for the others. I never knew that real emotions could be hidden so well behind a mask Shaurya. I think I have understood that we weren't born with masks. We put them on, so we can take them off. I too have learnt the art of putting on a mask for the sake of others. It isn't always about our happiness but about others too. Alas, you wouldn't understand what it means to make others happy.. Not your territory Shaurya..

Shaurya sadly: Mehak you have changed...Why are you sayin...

Mehak: I am really very tired today Shaurya so please I don't want to talk about anything ...

After sometime when they finally reached the mohalla, Mehak said: I think I will get down here..Tumhari badi gaadi meri galli mein nahi jaayegi...Thanks for the lift.

Shaurya didn't know what to say to her. He saw her getting down from his car and making her way towards her house. She was few steps away from her house when she turned and said: Please be at my wedding and shower your blessings on me and Ajay. We both will be very happy!

Shaurya looked at her painfully. His gut wrenched seeing her walk away from him. There was some sort of uneasiness that he felt within him but just couldn't pinpoint to what it was. He quietly drove back home.

Res 😈

Di aapne bhi emotional kardiya mujhe .Very painful chapter.Mehek didn't scolded shaurya but her words hurted him.I can understand her pain.she loved him but he betrayed her and she don't want to marry Ajay but she can't refuse her kanta Chachi's wish .He asked her many questions for which she had answers but she couldnt answer as her answers wont solve her problems.So she did the thing she could that to keep quiet.

Good for nothing Ajay took her dinner thank God like in the show he did take her to pub. Shaurya trying make her understand not to get married Ajay but he couldn't give certain reason for her not to get married him.he is loss of words in front of her. He can see she is going away from him he felt something in his heart but still he is not able to give name for that feelings. Hope he realise his feelings for her & confess before bina pooch ka longoor Mehek ko udake leke jaye.🤣

Sab ke sab ,emotional atyachaar wala update de rahe ho !!
