Was waiting for ShaurChie wedding but time was not passing so I wrote this stuff. Enjoy. 😉
MOHABBATON KA SAFAR Shaurya was in the altar in his off white Sherwani. He had lost it finally. The lady he loved so deeply was not ready to accept she belongs to him. There are some things on the planet that destroys every single fibre of the body, for him, it was her rejection. He was so overpowered by that sadness that he agreed to marry Archie, his best friend who had done a lot for him, quite literally actually. He was sitting behind a grinning Archie who was celebrating her trophy inwardly. Never did she know Shaurya belonged only to Mehek, his soul had only her name carved on. The Pandit was chanting the mantras that ties two people in one thread of love. Love. That word meant only Mehek for him. Quite an irony.
There in the vacant bungalow was Mehek trying to smack down Mandhar for everything he did to her, his dead wife and father, and to his own son and mother. She didn't want him to escape that easily. But perhaps things were not in her hands. Mandhar got hold on the shovel and gave two smacks. Her head bleed. Things were blurry. She could see only Archie. She now knew it was Archie responsible for all the mess in their lives. She was drowning in water just like the time before. Kanta saw her drowning and ran to help her daughter. Neev saw his mother and was crying his lungs out seeing his mother in that condition. There was blood in the region Mehek fell.
Things didn't seem good to Shaurya. He could sense the bad happening. Pandit asked them to stand for the pheras. Archie was just seven pheras away from her victory. Perhaps the nature didn't feel it was right thing happening. There was a huge storm that almost the fire blew out. Shaurya's heart was pounding in the rib cage. The constant memories of their marriage was disturbing him. Just then Vicky's phone rang. He picked up and ran to Shaurya. "Bhaiya. Vo Bhabhi." He could say more. Shaurya panicked. "Kya Bhabhi Vicky. What about Mehek." Though he had said on her face that she wasn't his Mehek, deep down he knew she was. Vicky told what Kanta told him on phone. Shaurya threw the golden pagdi near the diminished fire and ran to the address told.
Mehek was in Kanta's lap with a weeping Neev and Rama. Jeevan Chachu was trying hard to get a taxi or a lift but to no avail. Bungalow was on the outskirts of Delhi. Mehek was asking for Shaurya. Mandhar had already gone. Shaurya reached in half an hour driving rigorously and recklessly. He saw Jeevan Chachu on the road. He ran to him. "Where's her?" He asked panting a bit. "Inside." Jeevan Chachu said and both of them ran inside. "Mehek." Shaurya saw her near swimming pool. He sat beside her. "We should not waste time and move to hospital." Julie made sense. Shaurya was about to pick her in his arms when she resisted. "Archie was the one who pushed me in the river that day." She told him the truth. That came as a blow but he didn't react. She was his priority for the time being. Mehek took a deep breath. "Mehek don't speak much. We need to reach hospital first." Shaurya said between his tears. "Nahi Shaurya. Ab waqt aa gya hai. Izaazat de do mujhe. (No Shaurya. It's time now. Give me permission to go.)" She said smiling and crying simultaneously. "No Mehek. This time I won't survive if you leave me. Please Mehek. No." He said and hugged her. Her hold on his arms loosen. He didn't feel her heartbeat near his heart. "No. Please Mehek." He shouted at her. Neev was trying to wake her up too.
Mohabbaton Ka Safar Is Tarah Bhi Guzra Tha
Shiksta Dil They Musafir Shikast Paye Na Thi
Shiksta Dil They Musafir Shikast Paye Na Thi
Ke Dhoop Chaon Ka Alam Raha
Judai Na Thi
Woh Humsafar Tha
Haan Woh Humsafar Tha
If people believed in miracles, there was one happening. The cries of so many people held her back. Shaurya was holding her near his chest when she breathe again. He could feel her heartbeat reviving. They rushed to the nearest hospital. After an hour of surgery doctors told she was out of danger. They shifted her to the ward and told everyone that they could meet patient once she's conscious. Archie didn't know yet that she was the food for Shaurya's anger and she reached the hospital hoping that Mehek didn't remember anything. She was still clad in her red bridal lengha. She saw Shaurya looking at Mehek through the glass. She hugged him from behind. "Shaurya. Now that Vandana is safe, can we resume with our marriage?" She asked. Shaurya jerked her away. "Dare you Archie. Dare you touch me." Shaurya's eyes were blood red. She didn't know what had happened. Kanta slapped her for hurting her daughter. Jeevan Chachu had already called police and when Mehek gained consciousness, police took her statement first and then Shaurya rushed to her. He hugged her and few tears made its was down his cheeks. He held her tighter not letting her go anywhere ever again.
Ke Dhoop chaaon ka aalam raha
Judai ha thi.
Woh humsafar tha
Haan vo humsafar tha...
