Part 22:

Few days later:

After getting the approval from the Sharmas, Shaurya spoke to his mother and they decided to meet Mehak's family for an official proposal. Shaurya and Karuna Maa were sitting in the living room of the Sharmas with all of them looking expectantly at the Panditji to select the appropriate date for the wedding.

Panditji: Next month, 15^th, 18^th and 20^th are auspicious dates for their wedding.

Karuna Maa and Kaanta chachi were discussing which date to finalize while Mehak was staring excitedly at Shaurya. She knew he would select 15^th since he too was as excited as she was for their wedding.

Shaurya thought for a while and said: 20^th of the next month.

Mehak and Karuna Maa looked at him shocked. Mehak's expression of shock was soon replaced with that of anger hearing the date.

Karuna Maa held his hand and whispered softly in his ears: Shaurie, I thought you would go for 15^th...ab kya hua? Shaadi karne ki jaldi nahi hai?

Shaurya smiled at her and said: Trust me Maa, its the right date..

Karuna Maa smilingly: I think Shaurie is right..20^th will be fine .Both the families will get enough time to do the wedding preparations. What do you think Kaanta ji?

Kaanta chachi: Yes, you are right. We too agree with your suggestion. Panditji please finalize 20^th of the next month for Shaurya and Mehak's wedding.

Everyone hugged and congratulated each other. Shaurya and Mehak took blessings from their elders. Seeing that everyone was busy in discussing about the preparations, Mehak grabbed Shaurya's arm and pulled him towards the terrace.

Shaurya could sense that she was angry and he also knew the reason for it. He looked at her and waited for to talk.

Mehak angrily: You are an idiot you know that?

Shaurya was looking at her with his eyebrows raised questionably.

Shaurya: Really now Mehak and what makes you think so?

Mehak: Why did you say 20^th and not 15^th? You were lying that day when you said that you couldn't wait to marry me and make me your wife. What happened to all that?

Shaurya smiled at her and said: Don't you remember this date?

Mehak angrily: What is so special about this date?

Shaurya: Well, that was the day when I had first met you.

Mehak tried hard to recall anything about that date but she couldn't.

Mehak: We met for the first time at Ratan chacha's dhaba and later during ISC auditions and I very well remember the date of the shoot...It was 30th and not 20^th Shaurya. This just proves that men are so bad at remembering the dates!

Shaurya flashed his famous smirk at her statement and said: I thought you have a good memory but sorry to say Jaan you don't. We didn't meet at the dhaba but met at the Delhi Haat competition for the first time and that was on the 20^th. Ring any bells?

Mehak thought about it. He was right. They had met at Delhi Haat where he had come as a judge for the competition. How could she forget that?

Mehak looked at him with awe: You remember? How could I forget? I am...

Shaurya snaked his arms around her pulling her closer: Its time the world knows that men too are good at remembering the dates.

Saying so, he kissed her cheek. Mehak could only blush at his statement.

She hugged him tight and said: I cant believe it's been a year and now we are getting married. Who could have thought that I would fall in love with you whom I hated when you came to the dhaba and said that my food could only be eaten by animals and not humans. I hated you so much for that.

Shaurya: I am sorry for that but the dal was awful Mehak and you cannot deny that.

She broke the hug and looked at him: Agreed but didn't I come to your restaurant to apologize with the Vanilla desert. But like always, you insulted me without letting me speak...Kitna darr gayi thi main. You shouted at me and threatened to send me to jail.

She hit his arm playfully to which Shaurya laughed and gathered her in his arms again: Yes and I apologize for that again. But you know I was so pissed off that day. The food critic was coming to my restaurant for the ratings and nothing was going right that day.

Mehak: You were always pissed off..nothing new in that!!

With that, Shaurya pulled her closer: Excuse me now, you were the reason for all of that..Dont you remember? ISC mein kitna irritate kiya tumne mujhe...

Mehak mocking anger: Maine tumhe irritate kiya? The pot is calling the kettle black Shaurya...Kuch bhi! Forget about all this now. I m just happy that we are getting married. Aren't you happy about that?

Shaurya: Of course, I am. I just can't wait for you to become my legal and one and only wife. Years back, when Maa had asked me when I would marry, I had told her that a woman can never be trusted and I don't intend to settle down ever but now, I can't imagine my life without you Mehak. You don't mean the world but the whole universe to me! I love you very much!

Mehak hugged him tighter and smiled. She was finally going to be Mrs. Mehak Shaurya Khanna.

The wedding preparations started in full swing. The Sharmas had insisted on a low key ceremony but since Shaurya was a celebrity, the media got a whiff about the wedding and most of the details got leaked in the papers. The news papers were bustling with articles on Mehak and Shaurya's wedding everyday. The Sharmas too had become a celebrity overnight. However, sensing that too much public attention would make the Sharmas uncomfortable, he had insisted on tight security for his wedding. The D-day of the wedding finally arrived.

Mehak was sitting in her bridal attire looking gorgeous in her room with Nehal and Sonal giving final touch-ups to her make-up. But they were having a tough time with Mehak refusing to sit quietly. Mehak was on the phone busy chatting with Shaurya asking him what time the baraat would reach at her place.

Sonal irritatingly: Mehak, please yaar cant you sit properly for a minute? Aaj ke din bhi phone..Cant you just wait for few more hours? In an hour, the baraat will come and in the next hour, you would be husband and wife. Phir jitni chahe baatein kar lena but ab toh shaant baith ...You will spoil your make up yaar.

Mehak: Ok ok fine..Now I wont move. Thik hai!

Saying so, Sonal and Nehal continued to do her make up. After half an hour, Shaurya's baraat had finally reached the venue. Hearing the dhol and music, Mehak went rushing towards the window to have a glimpse of Shaurya. Nehal who was fixing her dupatta at that time literally fell backwards when Mehak unknowingly pushed her. Sonal caught Nehal right on time and they both stared at her dumbfounded.

Nehal: Di has gone crazy! Just look at her yaar! We understand that you are getting married to the most handsome and eligible bachelor of Delhi but that doesn't mean that you will push us...Aap toh Shaurya jiju ke liye diwaani ho gaye ho di!

Sonal and Nehal hi fived each other but Mehak couldn't care less. She looked at him through the window. Shaurya was staring at her admiring her beauty. He couldn't take his eyes off her. She was indeed looking like a princess in her bridal attire. He winked at her and gave her a flying kiss.

Kaanta chachi welcomed Shaurya and his family. The aarti was done and they all came inside the mandap. The priest started reciting the Sanskrit mantras and Shaurya did as he was told.

After few minutes, the priest asked the bride's family to call Mehak to the mandap. Kaanta chachi accompanied by Mansi chachi, Sonal and Nehal brought Mehak to the mandap. Mehak was looking resplendent in a richly embroidered red and gold lehenga.

She came and sat next to Shaurya. They looked at each other lovingly. Mehak smiled at him conveying to him in that smile her love to him. He looked at her with an intensity to devour her at that moment. She understood his emotions and couldn't stop herself from blushing.

Mehak was being attentive to what the priest was saying when she felt Shaurya holding her hand. She quickly covered their entwined hands with her dupatta lest somebody see them.

She leaned a little closer to him and whispered: What happened?

Shaurya: Nothing. I am just scared.

Mehak worriedly: Is everything alright?

Shaurya smiled: Yes, I am just scared. What if you leave me at this mandap saying that you don't wish to marry me.

Mehak: And why would I do that mister?

Shaurya: Well, didn't you do the same with that idiotic scumbag Ajay?

Mehak angrily: Oh so you wanted me to marry him. Are you feeling sorry for him? Thik hai, phir I will go to Ajay and marry him...

Saying so, she acted to get up when Shaurya smiled at her and said: When did I say that? I just don't want history to be repeated in my case. You cannot stop a man from worrying about his future.

He winked at her and held her hand tightly drawing random pattern on the back of it with his thumb. She tried pulling her hand away but he gripped her hand tighter.

After few hours, Shaurya and Mehak completed the pheras and the priest declared them as husband and wife. They took the blessings from their elders and Mehak's bidaai was done with all the rituals. Her bidaai was a heart wrenching event with everyone crying seeing their ladoo finally getting married to the love of her life.

After all the post wedding Punjabi rituals, Karuna Maa took Mehak to Shaurya's room which was now her room as well. Mehak walked in her room looking at its dcor. This wasn't the first time she had been here but this time it was different she was here not as Ms. Mehak Sharma but as Mrs. Mehak Shaurya Khanna.

Mehak : Welcome to your room Mrs. Mehak Shaurya Khanna.

Mehak sat on the bed waiting for Shaurya. It had been only 10 minutes and she started getting restless looking at the wall clock.

Mehak irritatingly: Its 9 ..Main kab se wait kar rahi hoon and what is he doing? Itna footage toh koi bhi nahi leta? Arrgh..Shaurya Khanna you better come fast...

Getting impatient, she walked to the balcony and stood there looking at all the decorations. After few minutes, she walked inside and looked at the clock.

Mehak frustratingly: Hey Maata Rani, sirf 9.15 huye and I thought I had been waiting for an hour.. What is this guy doing? If he doesn't come in the room in the next five minutes, I am going to hold his hand and drag him to the room. I dnt care if anyone sees this.

She was pacing in the room for few seconds when she decided that she had enough of this. She was about to walk towards the door when she heard the click of the lock releasing on the door.

Excitedly, she went and sat in the centre of the bed.

Mehak prayed inwardly: Thank God, he finally decided to show up on his wedding night...Thank you Maata Rani!!

Shaurya walked towards the bed and sat opposite her. He held her hand kissing her fingertips. He leaned a little and kissed her cheeks. His fingers skimmed her flushed cheek and then he moved to her neck and then to her forehead. She opened her eyes to see him staring at her lips. She closed her eyes waiting for him to kiss her on her lips but that kiss never came. She opened her eyes to see him smirking at her.

Shaurya: Mehak, I am feeling very sleepy. All these wedding rituals have really tired me out. I am sure you might be too. We need rest. I guess you should sleep too. Good night!

He was about to get up when she held his hand and said angrily: What did you just say? You are tired and wanna sleep? Shaurya, its just 9.30 and to my knowledge, you don't sleep before 11 ...Toh aaj kya hua?

Shaurya smiled wider and said: Its my revenge!

Mehak (shockingly): Revenge? What kind of revenge?

Shaurya: Have you forgotten what you had done when I had come to convince you on your wedding day with that scumbag? I was waiting in that room of yours praying to God for your wedding to be called off. Do you even know what I was going through in those 2 hours? Hell, if that girl hadn't come on the right time, you would have got married to that fool.

Mehak looked at him surprisingly: Tum paagal ho gaye ho kya Shaurya? In case you have forgotten, I was only teaching you a lesson for all the pain that you had caused me by breaking my heart..

She hit him on the arm and pulled him: You better stop your drama now Shaurya warna mujhse bura koi nahi hoga.

Shaurya removed her hands from his arm and held her shoulders: I am sleeping Mrs. Mehak Khanna. Revenge time darling!

With that, he flashed her one of his famous smirks and kissed her on the cheek. He pretended to yawn and laid his head on the pillow. Mehak looked at him dumbfounded.

Mehak angrily: Fine, so jao...Mujhe kya! You will pay for this Shaurya ...Mark my words. The next time when you will try to come close to me, I won't even let you touch me..That time I will say that revenge is sweeter than honey, my dear honey'.

Shaurya smilingly: I will wait for that day sweetheart but trust me I won't be touching you at all..Good night!!

Mehak was very angry with him. She would have killed him with her bare hands had she not married him a few hours ago and made him her husband. Angrily, she tossed the pillow between them and slept on her side.

Mehak thought: You are going to pay for this Shaurya...I won't spare you!!Hate you for ruining my wedding night!!

Mehak tried to sleep but she couldn't. She was angry and the fact that Shaurya was sound sleep infuriated her more. She couldn't believe the nerve of this man who was interested in his revenge rather than making love to his wife.

She tossed and turned on the bed several times trying to sleep when she finally decided to let go of her ego and got up.

Mehak: Enough is enough! Arghhh!!!

She pulled his arm and made him look at her. He groggily opened his eyes looking at her: Mehak , I am sleep...

Mehak grabbed his collar and said: To hell with your sleep, if you have your rights as my husband, I too have my rights as your wife and I wish to have you tonight at any cost, so you better coopera...Ouch!!

Shaurya rolled over her and had her beneath him in one swift move pinning her hands above her head.

Shaurya smirkingly: I will cooperate as much as you want me to Mehak...

Mehak: What the hell!

Shaurya lowered his mouth and kissed her neck: I want this as much you want it Mehak..

Mehak: Then why did you do all that drama?

Raining kisses on her face, Shaurya said: Just to irritate you!!

Mehak hit him on the chest playfully: Why?

Shaurya: Coz you look beautiful when you are angry and cute when you are cribbing!

Mehak: Cribbing? When did you hear me cribbing?

Shaurya kissed her on the nose and said: When you were pacing in our room waiting restlessly for me..I was outside listening to all of that. Mehak, you are going to be the death of me...Enough of your questions! Now let me do what I intended to do ever since we decided to get married.

Mehak laughed and Shaurya kissed her on the lips to shut her up. All night long, they made love to each other taking their time to kiss and explore each other. Shaurya had finally understood the importance of love in his life from the woman who he once claimed to hate and destroy the very same woman who had now become his life and reason to survive.

He held Mehak wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and whispered to her: Love you forever Mehak!

Mehak hugged him back: Love you too Shaurya!!
