Chapter 7
Shaurya stood embarrassed before reprimanding glare of Kanta Chachi. Mehek stood beside him and he held her wrists to convey his support. Kanta was further angered and dashed out of the kitchen with Shaurya in tow. "Chachi, I can explain", he plead. "Better be a good one, Boy", she stared at him, her disapproval being evident. Mehek stayed behind giving them time and space to clarify. Yet she couldn't help eaves dropping, especially whenever her name was mentioned. Shaurya told her truth, ofcourse hiding few events. Though Chachi was like his mother he couldn't bring himself to reveal that he & Mehek had been intimate. It was too personal to be shared. "Are you blind, Shaurya? She is just taking advantage of your good nature", Kanta chachi scolded him. "why would she do that?", he was aghast. She shook her head in dismay, "She is trying to get back to you for what you did to her. It is just a show to escape and trap you". "Chachi, she had many chances to run away but she never did. She always took care of Aarti and me. It proves that she changed", he tried to reason. Chachi showed him her hand to stop him, "It was your mistake to kidnap and torment her. Accept and apologize to her. Let's close this issue by sending her back respectfully". "I don't want to go", Mehek couldn't hold back longer, "I want to be with Shaurya". "Look, Ms Maan. I understand your anguish and demand to punish him. But I will not let you play with my boy's life. I have seen enough of life to judge that you are not what you show yourself to us", Chachi lashed at her. "Then maybe you are wrong this time. I have no hidden agenda. I am ready to live with Shaurya in any condition. I don't want to go back to my old life", she intertwined her fingers into his, "I love him". "Love ??? Ms Maan fell in love with a common guy in a matter of few days"she smirked and turned to him,"Shaurya, atleast try to see the reality hidden in her sugar coated lie", Chachi retorted. Shaurya stood helpless bcoz he too was unable to explain it. Mehek could feel his strength wavering and acted quickly. "How can I prove myself? How do you want to validate my feelings for Shaurya?", she questioned Kanta. "Marry him", Kanta threw her trump card. She was sure that Ms Mehek Singh Maan will never agree to marry Shaurya. Marriage is not a joke, it will be a social & legal commitment which she will never comply unless she want to. "I am ready to marry Shauyra.", Mehek's reply shook Kanta chachi as she least expected it. Shaurya held Mehek's hand firmly and flashed a satisfied smile. "Then you both are getting married day after tomorrow", Kanta declared unable to accept defeat. She was still hopeful that Mehek will retreat. "Chachi, why do we need to rush?", Shaurya tried to reason but Mehek cut him, "It is a great idea, Shaurya. If we get married quickly then none, not even my father can separate us. I agree to Chachi that we should get married ASAP". Kanta chachi threw a piercing glance at Mehek and walked away.
"Are you sure, Mehek?", Shaurya asked her again. "100%", she replied cheerfully. "We can work out something to convince Chachi. I don't want to rush you to wedding. We need time, our relationship needs time", he was earnest. "But I can't wait to be Mrs Shaurya Singh Ahlawat. What if you change your mind and push me away? It's better that I quickly tie you down in holy matrimony", she giggled and hugged him. They were interrupted again by Kanta who cleared her throat discreetly. "Until marriage, Shaurya will stay in outhouse. It's inauspicious for bride and groom to be in same house", she told and egressed without waiting for their consent. "She hates me", Mehek spoke sadly. "I'm sorry Mehek. But she is more than a mother to me. After our mother's sudden demise it was she who took care of me and Smriti. She is very protective but good at heart. Give her some time. I am sure she will come around. Just don't lock horns with her now", he advised and pecked her forehead. Mehek nodded though she wasn't happy to be away from Shaurya.
"What's your game, Ms Maan?", Kanta's voice stranded her when she returned to check on Aarti. "I have no cards up my sleeve, Kantaji. But I am sure you don't believe me", Mehek tried to be polite. "I can understand Shaurya's infatuation. He is besotted by your glamour and charm. But you Ms Maan, a woman of high status and power cannot be simple enough to be swayed by silly emotions. You cannot fool me with this Love play of yours", she challenged Mehek. "Chachi, I guess you are tired and need to rest. Serve your energy coz you will be needing it for your boy's wedding", Mehek tried to dodge her tactfully.
Next day was gone in a jiffy. Shaurya tried his best to provide the most to Mehek for their wedding. Though day passed swiftly, the night didn't. Sleep eluded him and he was desperate to catch a glance of Mehek. Kanta chachi kept her away from him though Mehek peeked now & then to delight him. He yearned to see her in bridal attire and was looking forward to spend rest of the life with her. Still a nagging thought disturbed him. It questioned him whether it is correct to wed his sister's murderer but he was able to convince it. He agreed to Mehek's confession that it was an accident and he had punished her enough for it. Love plays strange role in everybody's life, he recalled his sisters words. He was sure Smriti would understand him and accept his decision. He was ready to forgive, forget & move on. Besides, Mehek's bond with Aarti reinforced his decision to include her into their life. He chuckled imagining their future and tried to sleep but was disturbed by knock on this window.
"Mehek, what are you doing here?", he was shocked to see her near his window. "Just open this damn window and let me in. It's freezing outside", she retorted. He quickly opened it and pulled her inside. "What happened ?", he was eager while she pulled the curtains down. "I just thought of giving you a surprise visit", she looped her arms around him, "I missed you". "I missed you too", he pecked her forehead and noticed that she was wearing one of his trench coats. He chuckled, "it suits you". "I guess the one I have beneath suits me more", she told him coyly untying her bun. She undid the coat and revealed the sexy baby doll dress beneath. Earlier that day, Shaurya had carefully passed it to Mehek along with the bridal attire and jewelry. "Mehek, it was meant for our wedding night", he softly knocked on her head. "Ouch", she cried her protest and trailed her fingers on his chest, "So unromantic. I guess that's the first thing I need to repair in you". He chuckled and held her small hands. He pecked them and closed her coat, "I am looking forward to it. Now will you please go back and let me sleep. I have a wedding tomorrow and need to look great beside my gorgeous bride". "No way", she playfully pushed him back and fell on the bed together. They both laughed when Mehek quickly straddled on him. She remove the coat covering her and tickled him playfully. Though there was no light in the room, he could clearly make out her curves in moonlight. Yet he reined himself not to fall for her antics. "Has anyone told you how crazy you are?", he humoured her. She smiled and came down to rub her nose on his, "But I am crazy for you". She captured his lips in a harsh kiss. Though he yielded to her, the sweet torture was too much to manage. He quickly broke apart, "Listen, Mehek. I want the same but let's call it a night. I promise I will make it up to you tomorrow, on our wedding night". Mehek shook her head. She was in no mood to retrieve. He cupped her face and plead, "Tomorrow". "No. Its tonight", she kissed his palms but abruptly pinned them on both on either side of his head. She whispered seductively into his ears, "I will be spending wedding night with my husband. But I just got tonight to make love to my lover". She bit his earlobe making him groan and met his lips again.
Rationale and rectitude was vaporizing from him. Much to Mehek's pleasure his body was betraying him. He hardened further when she led his hands to remove her lacy thong beneath her skimpy outfit. Meanwhile she licked, sucked and bit his skin; making him go crazy with want. He was so lost in the sensation to be unaware when she had stripped off his clothes leaving him in his boxers. His member twitched inside desperate to seek pleasure. Suddenly Mehek halted and traced his face with sharp nail of her forefinger. "Mehek, please", he appealed. "I want to hear it from you, Mr Shaurya Singh Ahlawat ", she demand. He growled in frustration, "Please make love to me, Ms Mehak Singh Maan". "My pleasure, Sweet heart", she was delighted and freed him. She positioned and slowly slid down herself to him. He moaned her name while she slowly moved enjoying the sensation. She kept her palms over his chest while he laid back letting her take control, letting her relish her win. She picked up the rhythm and soon shuddered around him with a shrill cry. He swiftly toppled her to trap her beneath him and thrusted hard & fast into her. He spilled his seed into her, savoring even the last bit of her orgasm.
They spooned to one another after passionate love making. He was naked while Mehek still had her baby doll on her. "Do you love me, Shaurya?", she asked abruptly. Rather than answering he turned her to see her face. She looked so vulnerable and sad. "Do you need to ask?", he questioned back. She shook head head, spilling tears, "It's just that...Kanata chachi...she thinks it's just lust". He held chin and made her look into his eyes, "You are most precious to me. You are above my life, Chachi...even my sister. For your sake, I gave up the fight to bring justice for my sister. What more proof you need, Mehek?". "I love you, Shauyra", she hugged him tightly. "I love you more, Mehek", he confessed his feelings.
Next morning, Shaurya woke with a satisfied smile on his face. It was his wedding day, he will be married to Mehek. He stretched himself and gazed at his house. In few hours, they will enter his house as man & wife. Last night, he had carried her back to his bedroom in the house. Once he settled her on his bed, he was amazed by her fear of being caught by Kanta Chachi. The bold Mehek who dared to cross the curfew to seduce him was actually getting scared. He assured her, wished her good sleep and sneaked out successfully . He recalled their romantic night and yearned to get a glimpse of his bride but was disappointed. Chachi came in with coffee and he greeted her cheerfully, "You leave for temple before us and check the arrangements. I will bring Mehek with me". Shaurya agreed and took her blessings
He waited eagerly at temple. All arrangement were done and just needed the bride to come .While he climbed down stairs of temple, he rebuked his restless mind to stay calm. He cursed himself for forgetting his phone at home. He expected his bride to make her entrance but he was welcomed by Police officers. "Mr Ahlawat, you are under arrest. You are charged with kidnapping of Ms Mehak Singh Maan", they informed him.
