There was a sudden thunder storm and Shaurya came out of his revire ...he carefully kept back mangalsutra and recorder in the draw. .his eyes fell on the letter which Mahek wrote before she left him...he opened the letter and tears formed in his eyes ...he read the letter..
Dear Shaurya ..
I think I have lost the rights to call you jaan , by the time you will be reading this letter I will be gone far away from you... I think iam one unlucky mother who has to leave a newborn ...but its matter of my self-respect now , I can't take him along with me as I don't know where iam going and how I will survive...I will be alive or not iam not even sure about that ...he will have a good future here with you..I could have stayed back and tried to prove my innocence but I don't think it will be of any use Shaurya...I know how possessive you are .. tomorrow again you could have accused me with new allegations...I have seen both the sides of you and I don't want our child to hate you when he grow up... you are free to tell him any stories like I ran away with some lover or I married you for money , success and fame but the fact will remain that I came to city holding your hand just for you...I have never believed in fairytale but you made me believe in that ...I wanted a simple life. .a loving and caring family... you know I never liked this city ,I never liked those high profile parties but I always use to come with you wanted me to come with you..I used to suffocate in those parties , my life has changed completely when you made me wear that ring and filled my maang that chirpy fun loving girl who used to spend whole day playing in the fields had died when she got married to you...her life revolved around just you...as a girl I have always been taught that husband is like a god and I have to obey him..and I was obeying each and everything Shaurya... you thought that I have never loved you but the fact is that I have never loved anyone else than you...the only difference in your Iove and mine was that I couldn't express my feelings like you...and I think it's too late to talk about all these things now ... Just take good care of our baby and when he will look into your eyes and hold your hand that moment you will realize that he is your son ..I don't think you have to go for a DNA test also ...iam handing few more things along with this letter to Vikram because of whom our baby and iam alive now...the only thing I am taking along with me is the ring and lot of memories... you always complained that I have never asked anything from you...but today I want to , I always wanted to name our baby Aryaan..I couldn't give him anything atleast I will be happy knowing that he would be called by the name which I have choosed for him...and please if you ever loved me than don't try to search me , i won't be going back to chachu's house...as you have promised them so many things when you married me .. you tried your best to be a good husband but your anger never allowed to be one... I was unable to change you but I think our son will change you completely..I know you will be a good father...try to give him the love which I wasn't able to give him..and please take care of yourself don't wake up till late ..and before I end this letter I want to remind you our first song which we sang together...may be that will express my feelings properly for you..
Baahon mein teri aake lagaa
Mera safar toh yahin tak hai
Tumse shuru tumpe hi khatam
Meri kahaani tumhi tak hai
Dil ko jo de raahat si
Tujhme hai woh khamoshi
Sau baar talaash liya khudko
Kuch tere siva na mila mujhko
Saanson se rishta tod bhi loon
Tumse tod na paungi.. hmm..
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Iss chaahat mein marr jaaungi
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Aankhen khule toh main dekhun tujhe
Sirf yeh hi farmaish hai
Pehli toh mujhko yaad nahi
Tu meri aakhiri khwahish hai
Seh loon main ab teri kami
Mujhse yeh hoga hi nahi
Tum aise mujhme shaamil ho
Tum jaan meri tum hi dil ho
Shaayad main bhula doon khud ko bhi
Par tumko bhool na paaungi
Ho..
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Iss chaahat mein marr jaaungi
Main phir bhi tumko chaahungi
Your's and only your's
Angel..
He broked down after reading the letter...
Why mahek why ?? why did you left me ?? why have you not slapped me when I accused you for so many things...why did you not made me realized that I have kept you in a cage of gold ... why did you loved me so much Mahek ...whyyy ??
hearing his dad cries Aryaan woke up from his sleep and came near to him ... he took the letter from Shaurya's hand and read it ...he couldn't understand many things but one thing he was sure that their parents loved each other a lot...he hugged Shaurya tightly and wiped his tears...dad can't we search and bring back mom ?? he asked with tears , I don't want to suffer her again ...I have hurt her alot and don't want to hurt her more...he replied with a sigh...dad what if mom comes back in our life ?? you can say her sorry and bring her back ..Aryaan questioned...there is no forgiveness for some mistakes beta and a single sorry won't heal all the wounds which I have given her .. Shaurya replied while taking back him to the bed ...he kept the letter in draw and took some rest along with Aryaan...it was already 4am when they slept..
Shimla 4 AM :
A girl wearing a white chudidaar suit woke up to the noise of lightning...she was scared with the noise of window panes and closed her ears listening to the thunderstorms...her whole body was shivering and she had sweat all over her face ...she switched on the bed lamp and sat holding her ring..hey mata rani lagta hai koi toofan aany wala hai..she heard a door bell and she quickly ran towards the door...as soon as she opened the door she hugged the person tightly standing in front of her...maansi chachi thank god you are here..she hugged her tightly and sobbed, Mahek bachha I know you are scared of rains and lightning that's the reason I came to check you..she replied trying to pacify her... chachi you know I was never afraid of rains infact I used to play in rains until 5 years back, but my life changed when I have lost everything, I can never forget that dreadful night when it was raining and lightening same like this...she replied while wiping her tears, Mahek bacha I know everything Mansi replied and I have found you on that day...she said with a smile, Haan chachi patah nahi aap nahi milti mujhy toh mera kya hota ...Mahek remembered the night when she left the hospital and sat in the cab and went towards railway station...as weather wasn't good many trains were cancelled or delayed and mahek sat in the waiting room... seeing her alone few guys came near her and started teasing her. ..when Mahek tried to leave the place a guy holded her duppata and tried to pull it out.. suddenly a lady in her mid 40's came and slapped him hard ...sharm nahi aati ladki ko chedty hoo ?? ek call karongi na seedhy andaar jaogy ...she showed her ID card to them... guys ran away seeing her ID card...she looked towards Mahek who was looking terrified...she went near her and consoled her telling they ran away and no need to fear ...Mahek thanked her , Tum bahut pareshan lag rahi hoo ..what's the matter she questioned her. .. Nothing mahek replied trying to hide her pain ... where are you going? she questioned? I don't know ..Mahek replied wiping her tears ,she took out a bottle of water and made her sit on the bench... Drink this she told Mahek ..Mahek took the bottle and gulped down whole water ... You can lie to me saying that there is nothing but I can read your eyes ... you can trust me may be I can help you out..she told her ...Mahek looked at her with her wide eyes...ohh sorry I forgot to introduce myself, iam Mansi .. Mansi Malhotra, I run an NGO center in Shimla , came here to receive an award...but yahan ke mausam ka koi bharosa nahi my train is delayed by 2 Hours..she introduced herself and forwarded her hand ...Mahek shook the hand saying myself..Mahek ..Mahek Kh...she took a pause Mahek sharma she replied with a weak smile , Mahek saw a woman entering the waiting room with a young baby accomapanied by her husband...they sat near them and couple was playing with their new born kid ...Mahek eyes watered she couldn't stop her tears and ran out the waiting room...Mahek ruko ...Mansi went after her , she caught her after few minutes...why are you running?? what's the matter ? Mansi questioned her ..Mahek sat on the nearby bench and broked down...she narrated her whole story to Mansi ..Mansi cried after listening her tale...will you come along with me ? Mansi questioned her ..no I don't want to be a burden on anyone..Mahek replied, look bacha you won't be a burden but maybe you will bring little happiness in my life. ..iam a widow and I don't have any kids, you know I was actually looking for a PG you can do some job and pay me the monthly rent...she told her with a big smile... thank you Madam Mahek replied folding her hands ...Mansi holded her hands you don't have to thank me and don't you dare me call madam ..she warned her ..
ok than I will call you chachi mahek replied hugging her .
Shimla was a small town and Mansi can't tell neighbors that Mahek is married and a mother of kid , as they will hurt her by asking so many questions, she can't even tell that she is single as may be someone can come with marriage proposal...when they reached Shimla Mansi told her that she will tell everyone that Mahek is her niece and she lost your husband in a young age. ..Mahek agreed to that , as promised mansi helped her in finding a job , Mahek got a job of music teacher in a nearby school ...she started staying on the first floor of mansi's house ..it was a small house compared to Khanna mansion but she was happy staying there ...she kept herself busy whole day to forget all her pain , but when ever she finds a kid she used to cry thinking about Aryan ..years just passed and she adjusted herself in Shimla forgetting her pain and sorrows ...
Thank you chachi... thank you so much for everything you did for me Mahek replied hugging her , Mansi patted her cheeks...chal so jaa ab Kuch deir it's already 5 AM mansi told her ...she took her to bed and made her to sleep... later she turned off the bed lamp and went down...Mahek was unable to sleep...as their was some weird feeling ...she was tossing and turning in the bed...she looked at her ring and holded it tightly, why iam feeling that something is about to change in my life she thought to herself...she closed her eyes and remembered the first morning after her marriage...
Last night we became one ...my eyes were opened to Shaurya's phone rings ...his phone was ringing since half an hour...he kept on disconnecting calls , and hugged me tightly around his arms, It can be some important call why don't you answer it ..I told him in a low voice...his eyes were still closed, nothing is more important than you jaan he said kissing my forehead, his phone ran again ...he looked at the number and answered this time...Haan Vicky bol he spoked nuzzling my neck... WHAT ?? he shouted and got down from the bed ...he wore his bathrobe and dialed the reception and asked for a newspaper...his eyes were red and I was scared looking sudden change in his behavior ,there was a knock on the door...I got up and went inside to freshen up myself, when I came out he was reading the paper... Blood hell ,he shouted and throwed the paper on floor and broked the glass table , his hand started bleeding and I shouted looking at the blood... Shauryaaa..Kya hua ?? I holded his hand and took him to washroom and cleaned his hand but blood was oozing out from his hand ...I was crying looking at him but he was just staring at me without a blink...I took the first aid box and did a bandage on his hand , he hugged me tightly and kissed me pinning to the wall...after few minutes he cooled down...iam sorry mahek .. iam really sorry... i should have controlled my anger ..saying that he took me out from the washroom , he holded his head and sat on the bed ...I picked up the newspaper and went to him asking him what's the matter ?? He showed me the headlines .. Music sensation Shaurya Khanna secretly married a small town girl..rumors are that its love at first sight but there are also few talks that he trapped her for his business as he wanted to launch her in his next album...there was our pic on the front page when he was holding my hand and bringing me inside the hotel...he cupped my face , Mahek you trust me right?? Just don't believe on all this ..he took the paper and throwed in dustbin...I was holding my breath, I can never doubt his love but l was scared looking at his condition...there was a knock on the door and manager of the hotel came inside the room... Shaurya holded his collar and asked him who has leaked the pics ?? Sir we don't have any idea but we are sure our staff isn't behind this ..maybe some guest in the hotel must have leaked it... manager replied in a terrified voice, he pointed out his finger and warned him that ...if he comes to know that if hotel staff is involved than he will sue them for spoiling his image ...he apologized on behalf of the management and left the room ...pack your bags Mahek we are leaving right away he told me... but Shaurya today chachu may be coming for the paghpgera rasm .. can't we go tomorrow?? I requested him...he cupped my face paghpgera?? Jaan please you know I don't believe in all this things and I have to go back and hold a press conference and have to stop these rumours from spreading more but still if you want to go than I won't stop you... saying that he went and sat on a sofa seat making a puppy face like a kid ...I just went and kept my hands around his neck and kissed his cheek and said ..achaa baba I won't go now don't spoil your mood...I will call chachu and make some excuse and tell them we are leaving...he got up from the sofa and hugged me ... I won't be able to stay away from you even for a minute also .. please don't leave me ever he said kissing on my neck...I won't Shaurya...I will never leave you... Shaurya ?? Mahek I am hearing that since night .. you said it's a bad omen and still calling me by name ..I holded my ears and said sorry jaan ..I won't call you again by your name ..he holded me by my waist and said that's like my sweet biwi ...and he kissed me on the lips and there was some blood on his lips ...jaan at least brush your teeth ..I told him playfully...Sher ke mooh khoon lag chuka hai jaan and this sher is more thirsty... saying that he tried to kiss my neck again ...jaan it's hurting I told him...he looked at my neck there were all love bites across my neck ...iam sorry jaan he said and went towards washroom and later after having our breakfast we dropped Shaurya's mom and dad to the airport and later drove towards Mumbai...whole way he was holding my hand and drived with one hand ...I don't know when I slept in the car and I opened my eyes when we reached Mumbai hearing the loud noise of traffic..
