"Ek Pal Bhi Tumse Door Jaa Na Sake
Hoke Juda Hum Na Juda Ho Sake"
Chapter 6 (short chapter but I promise next one will be longer)
It was 5:30 am. Vicky and the team were heading back to the campgrounds when he received a text message from Shaurya. "I'm leaving! No one should enter my cabin except Sonal. Mahek is sleeping inside,no one should see her in my cabin. I'll see you at home." Vicky showed the text message to Sonal. She looked terrified. "Oh god They did it! What have you done Mahek? I hope you are ok?" She cried inside and rushed towards the campgrounds. "Oye Sonal! Why are you rushing? Is Mahek ok?" Asked Jenna. "Yeah yeah Mahek is perfectly fine.. I need to use the washroom that's why I have to rush." Saying that,Sonal started running to get to her friend before anyone else did.
Sonal entered the cabin and closed the door behind her. She found the switch and flipped it. Light spread in the dark cabin. Mahek! Meri Jaan!" Sonal cried when she found her sitting on the bed covered only with a sheet. She ran and hugged her friend tight. "Are you ok? What did he do to you?" Mahek was numb,with a dull look on her face and looked lost. Sonal was bombarding her with questions but Mahek didn't utter a word. The dull glimmer of her eyes told that Shaurya had shattered her into a million, tiny pieces. "Say something Mahek! Or cry! Please do something!" Mahek still didn't say a single word. Shaurya had forgotten his shirt on the bed. Her eyes fell on it and she grabbed it,inhaled his manly scent and hugged it to her chest. She was feeling half dead without him. She felt a part of her left with him leaving her in half. "We have to leave before the day breaks and you become the news!" Sonal said as she gathered her clothes lying on the floor. She then dragged her towards their cabin,Mahek kept on looking at his cabin until she was inside her room and Sonal shut the broken door. "Go have your shower I'll pack our bags and call a cab,we can't go in the bus with the others..just by looking at you they'll come to know what happened last night between you and Shaurya." Without a word Mahek slowly made her way towards the washroom. When she came out few minutes later,she saw Sonal throwing Shaurya's shirt in the trash can. Before the shirt could land in the bin,Mahek caught it and glared angrily at her. "Ok fine keep it then!" Said Sonal. Mahek folded his shirt and put it in her bag. "Your cab is here!" Vicky howled from the doorway. "We'll be there shortly!" Sonal told him. "Mahek,put some clothes on and come,I'll go load the suitcases in the car." Sonal left with the bags. Vicky gave her a hand in loading the bags. Mahek came out few minutes later,giving the campground and his cabin a final look,she got in the car. No one in the campgrounds knew what had happened between Shaurya and Mahek and that Mahek and Sonal had left that early morning.
***************************************************************
Time flew like sand in an hourglass ...
5 years went by just like that.
Green Garden restaurant,situated in the heart of Mumbai. Owned and operated by one and only Mahek sharma. No one could say she was the owner of the restaurant as most of the time she was found in the kitchen with her staffs trying new dishes. And most of all,her employees called her Mahek Di! Mahek considered her workers as her family members. "Ponam,I'm heading home right away,don't forget you are closing tonight." Mahek told one of her staff as she grabbed her bag and car keys. "Di,sorry to ask but you are going home way too early today." Mahek smiled. "I was ordered to show up early." Bidding good bye,she left towards her car parked outside.
It was 7pm when Mahek reached home. Unlocking the door,she turned the knob and stepped inside. House was covered in darkness and there was pin drop silence. "Meena!" She howled for her maid. But there was no sound. "Where's everyone? What happened to the lights?" Before she could reach for the switch,light covered the whole house! "Surprise!!" Everyone present there screamed. Flowers rained on her from the ceiling. "Happy birthday momma!!" Little Ayaan came running and hugged his mommy. "Awww...thank you baby!" She picked him up in her arms and little Ayaan kissed her whole face. "I love you momma! You the best momma in the whole wide world!" A sob escaped her lips and she buried him in her chest. "I love you too bacchey! You are the best son a mother could have!" Ayaan loved to hear that from her. He snuggled more into her. "Chalo momma cut the cake." Mahek broke the hug and looked at him. "By the way who told you it was my birthday?" Four year old Ayaan pointed towards the cake table arranged in the middle of the living room. "Sona masi told me." Sonal was standing there with meena flashing her teeth. Neighbouring kids who happened to be Ayaan's friends were also surrounding the table. Mahek walked towards them. Sonal gave her a hug. "Happy birthday meri Jaan!" Tears filled Maheks eyes remembering her last birthday at the wild rose camp with Shaurya. "Stop thinking about him,make a wish and Cut the cake." Sonal ordered in her ears. Ayaan joined his friends and they all surrounded the little table. "Mommy! Close your eyes and make a wish please!" Requested Ayaan. Closing her eyes Mahek made a wish. "Hey Bhagwan,wherever Shaurya is,keep him safe and happy and may he never come to know about me and Ayaan." Standing beside her,little Ayaan was also making a wish by squeezing his eyes tightly and joining his hands. "Dear God,momma says you are good God and you always listen to everyone's prayers and answer them,answer my prayer God! I want to know about my papa! How he looks,what he does and why he left us! Please!" He opened his eyes and blinked his tears away so that his momma won't see. "Blow the candles momma!" Mahek caressed his hairs. "Help your Mommy blow the candles." "Yay! I'd love to do that mom!" Ayaan jumped in excitement. Both mother son blew the candles together. Little Ayaan and friends sang happy birthday song and clapped their hands. Ayaan kept his hand on his mommas hand as she cut the cake. Mahek fed her baby first. "Hmm yummy! Now my turn!" Little Ayaan fed her mommy. "Pick me up mom!" Mahek picked him up in her lap and he kissed her cheeks. "Once again Happy birthday mommy! Ayaan loves you so so sooo much!" Mahek was in tears as she held him to her chest. "You are the reason why I'm alive today." She said in her heart. Sonal and the rest fed her cake and wished her for her birthday. "Chalo baccho find a seat,pizza is here!" Said meena. All the children ran to the dinning table except Ayaan. "Momma,I wrote something for you,can I read it?" He asked and flashed his teeth. "Aww that's so sweet of you! Of course you can read it!" With a smile so wide,Ayaan started reading it.
"Dear momma,
Thank you for bringing me in this world and raising me alone. You are my love,my life,my mom. I love your every hug and every kiss. I love you for putting me in bed every night and singing lullabies to me as I sleep. When I'm sick and can't sleep,you stay up and watch over me all night. When I fall and get hurt,you kiss the pain away and wipe my tears,you always made things better so I could go and play again. Thank you for cooking my favourite food and washing my dirty clothes. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry. When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and wanted to say, 'Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking. I love you momma! I love your hair,your dress,your shoes,your hands,your feet,your face and most of all I love your heart because that's where I live! You are both my momma and my papa whom I have never seen. Momma,I love everything about you! You the best and I'll look after you when you grow old. I'll never leave you momma!
Your baby Ayaan.
Mahek was in tears when Ayaan finished reading. "No one can say he's just a four year old boy..he's a geneius!" Sonal said who was also in tears. "Come here!" Mahek opened her arms and little Ayaan ran into his mothers arms. Mahek hugged him to her chest. "You are my world Ayaan and I love you very much!" She rained his face with kisses and little Ayaan giggled and enjoyed his mothers love.
Later that night,Mahek tucked little Ayaan in bed kissing him goodnight and dimmed the bedside lamp. But Ayaan kept his little eyes open. Mahek came to her room,freshened up and got into her nightdress. She looked at the sindoor and mangalsutra on her dresser. She has been wearing them since Ayaan was born. "I am wearing this so that no one raises a finger at Ayaan and question him." Mahek had once told Sonal. Sighing,she walked into her walk in closet. Her fingers ran over the shirt she had for five years. His manly scent was still on it. Tears swam in her eyes as She inhaled his scent and hugged it to her chest. "Mommy!" Ayaan stood by the door of the closet,holding his teddy by the ears. "Ayaan! What happened baby? I thought you were sleeping." Ayaan dragged his teddy to his mom. "I'm not sleepy mom...is that my papa's shirt you are holding?" He asked. "Ayaan you know it's his." "Can I see it mom?" Mahek handed him the shirt. He inspected it throughly. "This is a Armani brand shirt,this tells me my papa was a rich man isn't it?" Mahek took the shirt from him and put it away. "Yes he was!" She picked him up in her arms. "But for now you need to go to your room and sleep ok?" Ayaan hugged her tightly. "I forgot to tell you momma,I love your bed too!" Mahek laughed. "Nice try naughty boy but you are sleeping in your own bed." "Pleeez momma! For the sake of papa's shirt?" "You are unbelievable Ayaan!" Little Ayaan kissed his mommy's cheek and laughed. Mahek put him on her bed and his teddy beside him. Covering them up nicely she ran her fingers in his hair and sang lullabies,soon little Ayaan was fast asleep with his teddy beside him.
Coming up is Maheks flashback. What happened when she came back from the camp? What pain and suffering she went through to bring little Ayaan in the world. Stay tuned to find out. Thanks for reading guys. Love you all and sorry for the late update. I had planned to update last night before going to bed but my darling husband said if you don't put the phone away you will have to find another man! 😆
