SHOT 2
Karuna neared him all worried. She was not getting any positive vibe from her son's demeanour. She gulped saliva out of fear passing a vague view onto his hands. "what is Mehek's husband's name..maa?"..he asked gritting his teeth stressing the word husband. She gasps nd stammers while uttering.."R..R...Rahul". "Ya. .Rahul. Rahul Agarwal, famous divorce specialist in Delhi.and they are married since a year. right?"...he said in his infamous sarcastic tone. She lowered her gaze nd tries to initiate a normal convo..."yes Shaurie..I told you beforehand right?...and they were invited for your engagement today". "Engagement my foot"...he shouts banging his fist on the wall. She breathes heavily sensing his anger. "Then he must be here right?...by the side of his wife...but I can't find him"...he said while keenly studying the fear on her face. "h..h..he might be busy"..she uttered in a mere whisper. "na na...now this is not done..but..but why he should bother when she means nothing to him..when they don't share any relation"..he shot his next array of questions with a pinch of sarcasm earning a shocking expression from his mother. He shows the consent form for Mehek's surgery. "can you explain the blank space against the marital status column maa?...it means that Mehek isn't married to anyone else..she's still my wife..you lied to me..how can you steep so low"..he rained his questions nearing her like a psychopath. Karuna stood there shocked nd numb. Fresh tears overflowed his bearded cheeks. A lone tear escapes from her eyes seeing him devastated. He slowly nears the bench while recollecting the past events...
**flashback **
Two weeks ago,
He slowly opens his eyelids when the bright rays of the sun lit his room. Few days back he woke up from the longest sleep of his life. The worst nightmare. Where he stepped into a temporary coma after a major car accident that happened a year ago. He was awakened with the worst news of his wife's second marriage. "Doctors predicted only 20% chances for your recovery...so I asked Mehak to move on and get married...she's married to a leading divorce specialist..thus things were much easier...hence not much legal formalities"...karuna narrated wiping the tears that overflowed his cheek. He turned his face unable to digest his mother's words. He couldn't believe her as he trusted his Mehak...nd their love more. "what right do you owe to give orders to Mehak...don't you dare to speak anything about her...you are nobody to decide about her life..Neither she nor our relation meant you right?..then why this fake concern?..I've broken all the ties with you all since an year"...he blurted out as of spitting venom and tries to getup holding his clutches. He slightly whimpers when his plastered leg hits the ground. Karuna holds him by his arms. "It's not like that Shaurya..you are my son..this is still your house...for the past one year I've been with you day nd night as a shadow..how can you deny your mother's love Shaurie"...she said while shedding few tears. He shoved her away nd nears the balcony window. "Ok fine ..I can prove it Shaurya...I"ll arrange your meeting with them...but you need agree to one of my conditions..you should move on...you need to marry Nikita, Svetlana's daughter"...Karuna spoke confidently wiping her tears. "Hmmm...you know very well to exploit my miserable condition right?..as expected always u have your weird motives..anyways I don't give it a damn...agreed".. he said hurt deep down still being sarcastic. " Fine then..will fix your engagement after two weeks...after that you can meet Mehak"..Karuna said nd intends to leave the room. "Not ok...everything will not happen according to ur will.. I have my own stand in this so called cheap business of yours..I want to meet my mehak before your so called shit..engagement"..he put forth his condition. " ok done"..she said nd left the room. While he took a deep breath calculating something else in his mind.
**flashback ends**
The nurse nears him to get back the consent form. With the same deadpan face he handovers it. Karuna nears him and keeps her palm on his shoulders as of comforting him. He shoves her away."Do you remember maa?..just few hours before I've shot the same question about my Mehek..still you were in your character right..nd very well continued your so called cheap drama"..he replies heartbroken. She lowers her head unable to fetch him a reply. Meanwhile surgeons steps out of the OT. Shaurya struggles to get up wiping his tears nd nears them. Sonal precedes him and have a conversation with the doctors. As she follows them. Shaurya calls out her name. She turns back surprised nd bit suspicious seeing him devastated. "Yes"..she answers. "How is Mehek?..is she fine?"..he asked in his unclear tone due to nasal congestion. "Ya she is fine...but how do you know her?..I mean you brought her here?"...she questioned with building suspicion. "I..I..I'm Shaurya...I'm her ...she is my wife"..his eyes wells up as he answers her. Sonal steps back shocked covering her mouth with her palms. "No..no..this can't be possible..you can't be..Mehek is a widow"..She utters in a mere cry. He was completely shaken by her words. "You..that accident..you were dead.."she added. " I'm...Shaurya..nd she's my wife...I was badly injured in that accident...but am alive"..he pleaded nearing her as tears overflowed his cheeks. "I'm totally suspicious about it ...see Mr. Shaurya.. you were declared dead in that accident nd ever since then she's leading a widow's life"...sonal spoke struggling to analyse the situation. He felt a pang on his heart listening her. Sonal was about to say something...but she was startled as he dragged her by her palms nd neared a woman near the corridor. Sonal shouts at him twisting her wrists. "what does this mean...haan?..Dr.Sonal is saying that Mehek is a widow..and..I..I..was declared dead...when I'm very much alive... undoubtedly you might be having a dirty involvement here also...am I right?...common answer me..maa"...Shaurya shouts at his mother... Gritting his teeth while addressing her as maa. Sonal stood there mum sensing the intensity build up between the mother son duo. Karuna mouthed a sorry without answering him. "Common am waiting for your answer"...he asked while squeezing her shoulders. "Yes...it was told to your so called wife that you were dead"..karuna spoke shoving his arms away. "She was a bad omen for you..the day she entered into your life...huff..she snatched you from all of us...and do you think I would let her shadow fall on you in your unconscious state...no.. never..by god's grace you were still alive after that accident..I couldn't take a chance anymore Shaurie.. and you were declared dead...to erase her from your life forever" Karuna blurted out everything, her words reflected the venom within her. His diaphragms vibrated endlessly. For a moment his vision got blurred with tears. He stumbled hearing his mother..while Sonal supports him. He weeps like a helpless child owing to catch a glimpse of his loving mother's face..but love and guilt were not in vicinity. "the worst betrayal ever...karuna Khanna..the worst..such a cheap nd shameless move by a woman masking a motherly face.. I curse the moment I addressed you as maa.. I wish not even my enemy should be born to a mother like you.. Thankyou for all these years...from now you mean nothing to me...you are dead to me".. he spoke as his pain, agony, anger and betrayal succumbs his mind. He breaks down kneeling on the floor. Karuna leaves wiping her tears. While Sonal stands there helplessly. Meanwhile a woman in her 50s approaches them along with the surgeon. Sonal nears and hugs the lady addressing her as kanta aunty.Shaurya tries to get up on getting alarmed with their arrival.He nears the trio wiping his tears. Doctor discusses about Mehak's health emphasising her weak mental and physical condition. While further progressing the conversation kanta signals doctor to pause seeing Shaurya near them. He gets suspicious partly hearing their worry for Mehek's health. "can we have discussion in private?"..kanta asks the doctor glaring at Shaurya. "Aunty he is Mehek's husband"..Sonal tries to defend but kanta cuts off her. "I've heard everything...unless Mehek recognizes him.. he's just a mere stranger..Until then I can't take any risk as Mehek is my responsibility"...kanta spoke all the while studying his face. Shaurya stood there helplessly. "she may gain consciousness in few hours.. by tomorrow morning you can meet her..plz go to your home and take rest..visitors aren't allowed here"...Sonal said as she felt really sorry for him. He just nodded his head in response and slowly walked away passing a view onto the observation room where she was lying unconscious. He got behind the steering wheel. The happenings of the day were quite unexpected nd unbelievable. His head ached more. The situation was ironical..the same moment he got his love back..he lost his mother too.All the memories since childhood occupied his mind. "I can't hate you but I will never ever love or forgive you maa"..he said to himself as anger burned in his soul.He took a deep breath trying to brush aside the unwanted thoughts." My Mehak is back..nd I don't need anybody else..she's my life"..he whispers while gently wiping his tears with his cold palm nd rests his head on the steering and dozed off rejoicing their good old memories. Hours passed. He was all worried about her health. He woke up past 5am alarmed by a nightmare. Sweat was dripping from his forehead out of fear.His throat dried up. Meanwhile his toes hits a glass bottle near the brakes amidst the broken glass pieces. He bends to pick it up. The label was smeared in her blood. He was in an urge to find out her ailment. He worried whether he'd get back his lady love hail nd healthy. He was impatient enough to know about her physical condition. The doctor's words echoed in his ears as an evil's call. Without wasting much time he entered the hospital. Struggling with his plastered leg and holding the bottle in his hand he somehow reached near the observation room. He stumbled more nd the bottle falls down emptying its blood red liquid..spreading evenly on the white mosaic floor.
