Part 3 :
It was 3 AM when they finished their meals and Shaurya helped her to reach his mother's bedroom , she holded his arm to take his support his body was warm , she touched his forehead when he bend down to cover her with duvet , you have fever take some medicine please...Mahek requested again , I will be fine if I take some rest he repeated the same while turning on the bed lamp on her bed side ... good night he wished her , if you need anything call me or you can call Awara also just dial the extension number 9 from this landline and it will connect you to the kitchen and he will be here ...She blinked her eyes and nodded her head.
It started raining heavily Mahek was tossing in the bed , she wasn't used to AC and soft mattress. ..It was 5 AM she got up and sat holding her head...she looked at the room it wasn't less than a 5 star room with huge cub boards on 2 walls ,she looked at the picture of karuna and wondered where she must have gone may be on a holiday trip with her husband she thought, she was feeling thirsty ,she took the jug but there was no water , she thought of calling the extension number but than thought they must be tired and didn't wanted to disturb their sleep .
She somehow managed to walked with a limp and reached kitchen , and drank the water , her phone ringed and Awara came out of his room with the noise in the kitchen, Madam you could have called me he said ..It's ok I didn't wanted to disturb you...Mahek answered the phone and Shaurya also came out of the room because of the phones ring ,he was sweating heavily yet he managed to come down ...when Mahek was on phone It was sonal's call ...Sonal please don't cry iam fine it wasn't your fault but my mistake... Mahek said , tell me where are you..I will come now to pick you up Sonal said...Mahek looked at Shaurya who was standing beside her , she needs address Mahek said to him ..He looked outside it was raining still...he took the phone and spoke to Sonal ..Hi Sonal this is Shaurya...hello Shaurya I can't thank you enough...Mayank told me that you helped Mahek she said ...just now I finished my shift and I will come there to pick her...she continued..Sonal I think it's a bad idea to come here in this weather and at this time..you just send her the address and I will drop her in the morning and you also need some rest... Sonal also thought about it as she goes back by her office cab and it will be difficult for her to pick Mahek in this weather...fine Shaurya I will send the address to Mahek ...if possible I will try to come down in morning, she said ... Don't bother Sonal either I will drop her or send some driver along with her he said and handed the call to Mahek ...Sonal said I will send you the address in few minutes..and take care of yourself Sonal said...you Also take some rest and don't worry about me iam safe here she said looking at Shaurya and disconnected the call...Why did you came out he asked her ...I thought everyone will be sleeping so didn't wanted to disturb them Mahek said with a low voice, He holded her around waist and took her to room ...his whole body was hot she can feel that , he was sweating and shivering... Shaurya are you fine she asked him when he was making her lay on bed , his eyes turned red because of fever...yes iam he said and walked few steps and suddenly he felt dizzy and his head started spinning..he was about to faint when Mahek stood up and holded him from back ..and called Awara Bhaiya... He sprints towards them and help Mahek in holding Shaurya and taking him to bed , Mahek ask for a thermometer...and Aawara takes out from the nearest draw and hands it to her ..His body temperature was 103 and she started shouting at him , from that time I was telling you to take some medicine but you think you are too strong. she ask Awara to bring cold water and cotton towel and a pain killer which will make him feel better until doctor comes and checks him in the morning...
Mahek tries to keep the cotton towel on his head but he holds her hand saying it's not needed...She keeps finger on his lips and ask to keep quiet...you know bahut bolty ho tum don't know what do think of yourself... you think you are a robot ?? Jo tumhy dard nahi hoga ...she was grumbling at him ...while putting the cloth on his head and later giving him the medicine...He was just staring at her like he got some punishment. ...I will go and rest in my room , you are also hurt and tired and you also need some rest..he tells while trying to get up from the bed...She holds him and make him to sleep back and tells if you think you are strong enough and win by your stubbornness than let me tell you I have handled more stubborn kids than you ...back in Ajmer use to help my chachi who runs a school there ... Shaurya wondered why all her habits matches with his mother...she use to never allow him to get up from the bed and scold like a teacher and she always wanted to teach students but dad never allowed her to work...he came out of his train of thoughts when Mahek touched his neck with her cold hands ...his body was still burning...she kept on changing the wet cotton towel on his head , she wanted to use kitchen and make turmeric milk for him which will heal his wound but Shaurya holded her hand saying she won't go out with a sprained ankle ...She gets sad and instructs Aawara how to make it ..
Mahek bends and takes her bag from the couch and tells I have something which will cure you soon ... Shaurya ask what's that ?? She takes out a red thread from the bag and tells ... chachi has given me this she wanted to tie this on my hand for my safety but I was about to miss my train so I took and kept in bag thinking I will wear it later, but looks like yeh tumhary liye tha...she tells while tying the thread to his hand...you believe in all this things he asks ?? Haan kion don't you believe...Mahek questions him ...I never use to believe but now I have started believing in all this Shaurya tells her...I hardly gets time but chachi hamesha jaati Hai ...we stay near Ajmer dargaah and patah nahi chachi ne Kitni mannatein mangi hai mere liye ..when I was in school...when I was in college ...even for my job ...haar wish poori hui hai unki now she has a new wish that she will offer a chaddar their once my marriage is fixed ..she smiles telling chachi ki wishlist kabhi Khatm nahi hogi ... Awara comes there and with milk and she gives him the milk ...he tastes the Milk and the taste is similar to the milk which his mother use to make...you know my mother also hails from the same place and she met my dad in the same dargah for the first time...they fell in love and got married... Shaurya tells her... really that's a cute love story she tells .. Shaurya's smiles fade away thinking about his mom...she makes him rest on the pillow and turns off the bed lamp and gets up carefully and sleeps on couch ... Shaurya keeps on looking at her thinking why he was getting attracted towards her ...why he wants to see her all the time, why her so many habits are like his mother? maybe because they belongs from same city ...Mahek fells asleep and Shaurya keeps on looking at her .
