Ek Pal Bhi Tum Se Door Jaa Na Sake
Hoke Juda Hum Na Juda Ho Sake
Chapter 2
Next day,Mehek woke up so late. Yawning and stretching her hands she looked at the clock. "Hey Bhagwan I slept till 12? I missed breakfast and now I guess lunch too." There was no sign of Sonal in the cabin. Dismayed, she got up,a shy smile crept on her lips when she remembered Shaurya and their encounter in the woods. Her chest started to pound. Nervous excitement ran in her tummy. "I wonder what he's doing now?" She walked towards the window and peeked through the closed blinds. The door of his cabin was shut. "I wish I could see him today too!" Shying away she grabbed her towel and left towards the washroom.
Wearing a sleeveless Hawaiian dress,Mehek came out from the washroom wrapping her wet hair with a towel. Her stomach growled. "Uff! This hunger na! If I don't hurry I'll die of starvation!" Blabbering to herself she came to the dresser. She quickly applied eyeliner and a fruity lip gloss,pressing her lips together to evenly spread the gloss she removed the towel from her hair. Humming a song she was brushing her long hair when there was a tap on the door. "Must be Sonal!" She hurried towards the door and opened it. "Aap?" In front of her stood the handsome hunk shaurya khanna!
He looked at her thoughtfully, and smiled slowly, his dark eyes were warm. "I didn't see you since morning so I thought to drop by to see if everything' was ok." He said. Her heart was racing in its rib cage. "He was missing me." She thought. Her face lit up and a blush appeared on her cheeks. "Will you just stand here shying away or let me inside?" He asked with a smirk. "I'm sorry...aaiye na!" She moved aside and Shaurya stepped inside the cabin. He smelled of the rich cologne and deodorant,inhaling his scent she looked at him when he went past her. He was so tall and broad shouldered and so male. She was clearly losing her mind. Her whole body tickled just being in his presence. Butterflies were doing all kinds of nasty things in her tummy. Mehek closed the door behind them. He turned towards her. "I like walking into a room and seeing your face light up when you see me," he said earnestly, her heart pounded, and he stepped closer, so close the scent of his cologne and body mist enveloped her. He touched her hair, and She twitched as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I want to wake up beside you, see your curls on my pillow. I want a chance to fall in love. Her breath caught in her throat and she couldn't breathe. "Jee?" He laughed at her state. "It was a piece from a poem I wrote." He laughed. Mehek let go of the breath she was holding. "So you write too." "Once in a blue moon." He said. "Please have a seat." She gestured towards the wooden sofa. She was liking him in her cabin. She wanted to just sit and drool at him and blush. Am I falling in love? She thought, is it safe to do so with this man? Her trance broke with his fingers snapping in front of her eyes. "Kaha khogayee Miss sharma?" Mehek lowered her gaze and blushed. "I can't tell you." She said softly. With his finger he tilted her chin up. A shiver went up her spine. Part of her wanted to lean toward him so she could see deeper into his dark eyes, to put her arms around him and feel his warmth and strength. But she was too shy too do all that. He lowered his brows at her. "Mehek . . . Her heart leapt inside her. For the first time her name sounded so beautiful. "Can we be friends? Kya tum Mujh se dosti karogi?" He drew a white rose tucked in his pant pocket and presented it to her. Mehek gasped at the beautiful flower in his hand. "Zyda socho mat,I asked for your friendship and not your hand in marriage." He taunted her. His tender tone turned her heart over. "If you have asked me to marry you I would have said yes without thinking." She said in her heart. "Mehek I'm waiting for an answer!" Mehek came back to her senses and took the rose from his hand. "Of course...I don't mind being your friend." She said as her eyes moistened. With a smile so captivating he gave her a hug so tight she thought her bones will break. The warmth from his chest touched hers. Shaurya khanna was hugging her! she closed her eyes as she felt an overwhelming sensation come over her. She felt her heart nearly burst with the rush of feelings, all of them deep and strong like a swift river swirling inside her. She was liking this feeling very much. Her hands automatically rubbed around his back and She hugged him back,her hands reached his shoulders and she leaned her cheek against his. His rough stubbles pricked her skin. That really felt good! His cheeks were hot to the touch, and instantly the two of them blended together into a single figure as they held onto each other, Mehek was trying to find some way to hold onto the moment forever. "How will I not fall in love with you?" She said in her heart. "Kuch kaha tum ne?" He asked. "I said I can't breathe." Shaurya released her right away. "I'm sorry..." Mehek couldn't meet his gaze so she kept her head lowered. "You should open the door,I don't want others to get wrong ideas about us." He told her softly. Embarrassed,she went to the door and opened it. Sonal was just coming towards the cabin. "Finally you are up! Kitna sohti hai tu Mehek! Did you come here to sleep or to enjoy? Tere sohne ke chakkar mein you missed your breakfast and now your lunch!" Mehek signalled her to keep quite but Sonal was just going on and on. "Now call your crush ..that shaurya khanna ...he will bring you lunch!" Sonal blurted out. Colour drained from Meheks face. Shaurya came and stood beside her. He had heard Sonal saying about her crush. Sonal gasped when she saw Shaurya standing beside her. She bit her lips. "Oh Teri! Yeh Kya kar diya main ne!" Mehek was red with embarrassment. Shaurya now knew that he was her secret crush. Mehek felt exposed. She wanted the earth to open and swallow her up. "I'm sorry Mehek..." Sonal apologized. Her tears begin to flow and she ran from there."Mehek stop please!" Shaurya shouted. "Woh Bahut bholi Aur seedhi saadhi hai Shaurya..please sambhal lena." Sonal told him sadly. Shaurya nodded and ran after her.
"Mehek!" Shaurya screamed. Buffy came running behind him. "Go find her boy!" Little puppy ran inside the bush barking,Shaurya followed him. Buffy found her balled inside a bush. She was shedding tears when Shaurya came and stood in front of her. "Please don't ask me anything na..." she sobbed. "I won't I promise! Now take my hand and get up." He extended his hand for her to hold on to while getting up. She stared up into his eyes. The way he was looking down at her made her heart to flutter. There was something in his eyes that seemed different. Slowly she gave her hand in his and he pulled her up. "You are very sweet..." she said softly letting his hand go. Shaurya smiled faintly. Her head spun because of hunger. Shaurya reached out and grabbed her arm in time to steady her. "Are you ok?" He asked. "I'm hungry." She said softly. Hold my hand I'll get us out of here." He said. His skin was warm and soft, and holding his hand sent an electric sensation up her right arm. He held her hand firmly until she regained her balance. "Thanks for keeping me from falling, she said softly. He smiled warmly.
They came out of the bush. Her tiny hand was still in his. Sonal and Shaurya's friends were watching them. Mehek tried to free her hand but his hold tightened. "Where are you taking me?" She asked. "To the dinning hall so you can eat." "Oh! But lunch time is over..I have to wait till supper." She said sadly. They stepped in the dining hall. Still holding hands. The waitress came running to them. "Sorry sir but the dinning is closed,it will reopen for supper by..." Shaurya raised his hand in the mid air to cut her off. "I don't care! Get me the menu!" He ordered. Frightened by his voice the waitress left to get a menu. "Shaurya it's ok I can wait." She told him. He didn't bother to listen and pulled her to a table. The waitress came running with the menu. "Take the menu and place your order." He ordered. "You have to join me then." Said Mehek. "I will." Mehek smiled and ordered 2 spicy Thai soup with garden salad and brown toasts." The waitress left with the order. Shaurya was going through his cell phone and Mehek just stared at him. "Am I that handsome that you can't take your eyes off me?" He asked with a smirk. Meheks face turned red in embarrassment and she quickly lowered her gaze. Shaurya laughed. Miss Lucy who was the manager in charge was eyeing them unhappily. Few minutes later Their meal was served and they ate. Shaurya asked her a lot of questions about her and her family and being innocent and naive,she told him her life's history. She wanted to ask him about his life and family but she didn't have guts to ask. "You are coming with us for the bonfire in the woods right?" He asked while finishing his Clamato juice. "No not really..." he raised a brow. "And why is that?" Mehek wiped her hands with the napkin. "Because it's a boys thing...and as far as I know not a single girl is going." She told him. "Who said that? We all are going and you are also coming with us meri Jaan." Sonal stepped inside with few other girls. "There you go! Abh toh aaogi na?" Shaurya leaned forward and poked on her nose. She blushed and nodded. "Alright then! You girls enjoy,I gotta go! See you girls later tonight." He rose,throwing some bills on the counter he headed out. "Shaurya! Suno!" Shaurya turned around. Mehek ran to him. "Thank you for everything!" Shaurya smiled,with a wink he left from there. Mehek touched her chest which had started to pump hard. "Did he really wink at me?" "Yes he did meri Jaan!" Sonal startled her from behind. Mehek blushed again. "What is happening to me?" She thought. "Are you Mehek?" Miss Lucy asked coming to her. "Jee I'm Mehek." "Come with me I need to have a word with you." Before Mehek could utter a word,she grabbed her arm and took her a to a secluded area. Mehek panicked. "What happened miss Lucy?" Miss Lucy looked around and said. "If you don't want your heart to be broken into pieces then stay away from that shaurya khanna!" Mehek frowned. "But why?" "Because he's a playboy! He makes under age girls to fall in love with him then he sleeps with them and leaves without even saying bye!" Mehek wasn't liking what she was hearing about Shaurya. "Miss Lucy,you must be mistaken...Shaurya is not like that...he's sweet and I like him...very much." Mehek blushed. "Tum Bahut bholi ho Mehek...Aur nadaan bhi...he won't spare you bacchey...please meri baath maan lo." Not believing her single word she ran from there. "Mehek!!" Miss Lucy screamed but Mehek was long gone.
"So you are her crush?" Laughed his friend Aman. "That's what Sonal was saying." Said Shaurya. "She just made your job easier bro!" Mehek will definitely fall in love with you and then you can f**k her and throw her like a trash!" Right?" Shaurya's palms balled into hard fist and he got up fuming with anger. "Just shut your mouth! Will you? Bloody hell!" His other friends including Abhay came running in the cabin seeing him screaming. "She's not like other girls I have been with! shit! What's wrong with me?" Shaurya ruffled his hair in frustration and exhaled to calm his anger down. Vicky,his younger brother who has joined the camp that day was watching his reaction from the doorway. He asked everyone to leave. Him and Abhay stayed with Shaurya. "Vicky,I don't want to hurt her yaar...Bahut bholi hai woh...phool ki tarah nazook...toot kar bikhar jaaygi yaar..." For the first time Shaurya was having second thoughts on screwing a girl. "Then stay away from her bhai! She'll be safe that way." Said vicky. Shaurya paced the cabin restlessly. "That's not possible but I'll try...I just don't want her to fall in love with me because I ain't gonna change for anybody!" Abhay chuckled. "You already are changed dude!" Before Shaurya could pounce on him,he sprint from there! Vicky suppressed his laughter.
It was 5 pm,sun was still up but hidden behind huge trees making the forests really dark. Girls reached the woods. The boys were already there putting up their tents for the night. "Hello girls! Hey Mehek...I'm vicky." Vicky approached them and introduced himself. Mehek just said hi,her eyes were searching for shaurya. "Your tents are over there." Vicky gestured towards their tents. All the girls left towards their tents with their bags. "Mehek!" Somebody called her name and she quickly turned to see who it was. It was Abhay,sadly standing there with joined hands,asking for forgiveness. "Forgiveness kis bath ke liye?" She asked. "For my rude behaviour and for calling you bahen ji the other day." "It's ok! Just forget about it and enjoy this camp." Mehek told him.
"Sonal please...tonight you'll not stop me from wearing this suit." Mehek told Sonal. Sonal rolled her eyes. "As you wish ..par Aaj tu fir mazaak banegi." Sonal warned her. "Shaurya mera mazaak banne nai dega." Mehek said with confident. "Wow Mehek!look at you! You look hot in your white anarkali girl! Kahi shaurya khanna ka qatal karne ka iraada toh nai?" Another friend asked. Mehek blushed. Dinner was announced,everyone came out to where the table was being set. Mehek stayed behind to fix her hair. She was missing Shaurya. Her heart beat rose at the thought of him. Lost in his thought,she was combing her hair when she heard someone playing a guitar and then singing. She hurried out and came to where the was music was coming from. A shy smile appeared on her lips when she found Shaurya sitting by the bonfire,playing his guitar and singing. Everyone else were busy eating,talking and merrymaking. She slowly went and sat across him. Shaurya saw her and couldn't take his off her as he sang. Mehek blushed even harder and drowned in him.
Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkon se mila deAanso tere saare meri palkon pe sajaa de ..
Mehek felt her heart ache for no reason. Tears started swimming in her eyes. She closed them. The melody wrapped around her chest, which ached with the beauty of his voice. The urge to jump up and go to him was so strong that she grabbed the stool she was sitting on with both hands and clutched the rough wood with all her might.
Tu har ghadi har waqt mere saath raha haiHaan yeh jism kabhi door kabhi paas raha haiJo bhi ghum hain yeh tere unhein tu mera pataa de
Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkon se mila deAasoo tere saare meri palkon pe sajaa de..
As he sang he stole glances of her. Her voice cracked and tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. "I have fallen in love with you Shaurya!." She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.
Mujhko toh tere chehre pe yeh gum nahin janchtaJaayaz nahin lagta mujhe gum se tera rishtaSun meri guzarish ise chehre se hataa deSun meri guzarish ise chehre se hataa de
Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkon se mila deAansoo tere saare meri palkon pe sajaa de
She was dizzy by the time the song ended. Shaurya saw her crying. He wanted to go near her and wipe her tears away but he had to stay away from her,for her safety. He avoided her and went to grab something to eat. "Chal Mehek tu bhi Kuch khale." Sonal said while grabbing her hand. "I'm not hungry yaar..." her attention was on Shaurya. She thought why he was acting so strange suddenly. Tour guide drew everyone's attention. "There's a creek nearby,if you want to see how it looks under the moonlight and the fireflies then pair up with whoever and follow me." Abhay hurried towards Mehek. "Buddy up with me,I'll give you a nice tour of the creek." Mehek nodded in no. "I'm sorry I can't." Abhay left with a frown. Vicky tried his luck but didn't succeed. Boys were making her uncomfortable by forcing her to go with them. "Please go from here...and don't touch me!" Cried Mehek. Shaurya was watching them,his eyes were so intense she wanted to look away . . . or never look away, She couldn't decide. His fist clenched when he saw Aman nearing her. Without wasting another minute he hurried towards her and stood in front of her blocking them from seeing Mehek. "She will come with me now back off!" The guys looked at each other unbelievably. Vicky shook his head and left saying that he can never stay away from her. Meheks heart soared at the protective look on Shaurya's face. She wanted to yell at him, to beat his chest with her fists and accuse him of being stubborn and blind but she couldn't. She was staring up at him, waiting for him to speak to her. Everyone left towards the creek. Even the girls eyed Mehek suspiciously and left. "You come with your knight in shinning armour,I'll see you there." Saying that Sonal left. Shaurya turned to face her. He saw a look of trust and belief on her face. He imagined reaching out and caressing her cheek. "Were you avoiding me?" She asked in a low voice. "I'm bad...you'll only get hurt in the end." He said while avoiding her gaze. She closed the distance between them. "I don't care now!" She took his hand. "Walk me to the creek Shaurya and show me the fireflies...please?" Shaurya couldn't refuse her. He forced a smile and interlaced his fingers with hers and followed the others to the creek. "You haven't eaten,make sure you eat before you go to bed." He told her on the way. "You care about me don't you?" She asked while trying to keep up with his pace. "I do!" It slipped out of his mouth. Her heart leapt hearing that. They kept on walking. It was dark but moonlight guided their path. "How far is it?" She asked while huffing. "I don't know...just keep walking." "I can't Shaurya...I'm tired and out of breath." She whined. Without a word he lifted her up in his arms. Her arms went around his neck and she clung to him in an instant. He felt the quick beating of her heart against his chest. No word passed between them. A delicious sense of security stole over her. She leaned her face towards him slightly. He didn't notice it. Probably he was looking down at the men made trail. With a thudding heart she leaned in and gave him a soft peck on his hairy cheek and whispered, "Thank you! I'll never forget this ride in your arms." Shaurya was taken aback by her sudden kiss. He stopped in his tracks and looked at her. Her eyes were those of someone who's just fallen in love, someone who sees nothing but her lover alone, someone who has no fear of anything. She had the eyes of someone who believed that every dream comes true. Shaurya swallowed. "You are asking for trouble Mehek." She didn't answer and just stared at his handsome face. "Stop staring we are here!" She jerked out of her thoughts at once and blushed as he put her down. "Where are the others?" She asked when she couldn't find anybody there. "They are few minutes away from here." MehRya heard laughter and giggles not far from where they were.
"This place is beautiful!" She stared at the rushing water in the creek which was sparkling as moonlight shone on it. Shaurya was stealing glances of her ...he was losing himself in her beauty when she rubbed her arm. "I'm cold.." He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. He quickly surrounded her with his protective steel like arms. Involuntarily, he tightened his grip, but she simply snuggled closer in contentment and rested her head on his chest. He lowered his head and looked at her face. She was so beautiful it made his heart ache.They stood still, their hearts beating close together, not speaking, waiting for their rapid breathing to slow but it wasn't happening. His hand glided down her arm and folded over her hand. His fingers laced with her,palms kissing. She felt the fast thud of his heart through this single touch. And then she looked at him,first time from very close. So close,his coffee breath made her gulp. He brushed his thumb along one of her delicate cheekbones and smiled, her expression reached his eyes. "Look! Fireflies are over your head!" He gestured towards her head. "Oh how beautiful!" She danced in excitement when the fireflies sat on his head . Both smiled deeply holding each other's gaze. Then slowly They forgot their environment and surrounding and went with the flow. He crushed his mouth to hers. Her soft, moist lips blossomed sweetly under his. Her eyes closed on their own. The tip of his tongue grazed her lips, coaxing them open to his. She parted for him on demand, eager to know if he tasted as good as he smelled. His tongue darted in and found hers, taunting her with tiny licks that gave way to deeper strokes. He swallowed her small gasps, kissing her deeper, pulling her closer. Mehek whimpered and her legs gave up on her. She was clinging to him for her precious life as it was the only solid thing in a dizzy swaying world. Was this how first kiss suppose to be? She was new to this as well as the feelings and emotions that was bubbling inside of her. First time someone had kissed her. She had always dreamt about Shaurya kissing her and her dream just came true. Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. Suddenly he pulled back breaking the kiss! Her lips were bruised and swollen. "I'm sorry ...we shouldn't do this ...it's wrong..." He ran his fingers through his hair in guilt and frustration. Full of shame and embarrassment,Mehek ran from there in the dark forest. "Mehek ruko! You don't understand yaar..." he ran after her and caught her dupatta and slowly pulled it to him,she came to him with it. Turning around she looked at him with tears,trying hard to read him. Shaurya's heart pinched in pain. "Please don't cry... " she cut him off in between. "Is falling in love a sin?" "No it's a sickness." He answered. "Then I'm infected!" "What do you mean?" He asked. "I'm in love with you shaurya khanna!" He threw her dupatta on her angrily and looked away in the dark. "You have fallen in love with a jerk who will only break your heart!" "And the jerk will come to mend it later." She told him. "This is madness! I'm warning you Mehek! Wakt hai sambhal jaao warna pachtaogi!" He stormed out of there. Lone tear escaped the corner of his eyes as he was restraining himself from falling in love with her. "I love you Shaurya!Aur humesha karti rahungi!" Confessing her love for him she followed him quietly ...
Precap: bucket full of water splashed on Mehek. She stood there wet from head to toe. She shivered from the cold. Her clothes clung to her skin outlining her undies and bra. Hungry eyes around her scanned her from top to bottom. Feeling exposed,she hugged her bosom and cried.
Shaurya carried her wet body inside his tent and dumped her on his mattress. She was wet and scared. He removed his wet shirt and threw it on her! Her eyes widened when he unbuttoned his jeans and pulled the zipper down. "What you doing? Shaurya Please don't..." Squeezing her eyes shut she covered her terrified face with her palm.
