SHOT 3
He gripped his palms on the hinge. Slowly lifting his head to catch the view of his beloved. She lay there still unconscious. There was an unusual calm nd peace filled in the room which got disturbed by the heart piercing voice when the broken glass pieces shattered on the floor. Welcomed by a confused and agitated look on the faces of Kanta nd the staff nurse. He mouthed an apology slowly bending down to pick up the pieces. Sonal rushes to his side ceasing his action nd gestures the ward boy to clean up the mess. Shaurya gets up slowly while Sonal extends her hand for help. During the process she smells the liquid throwing a confused look at him. "This bottle..Mehak's...found inside my car...smeared in blood"...he answers gulping the words studying the suspicious look on her face owing to put an end to his worry.Sonal let out a sigh of breath hearing him. "what happened to my Mehak?.is she suffering from some serious.."..he couldn't complete his words as tears of fear overflowed his cheeks aiding a lump in his throat. Sonal patted his shoulder as of comforting him. She threw a glance at Kanta while Kanta stood there with an expression less face. Sonal turns back to face him. "There is nothing to worry Shaurya..now Mehak needs you...you can meet her she"ll gain consciousness in a while"...she said gesturing towards Mehak's bed. He simply nods his head nd nears her bed. He settles on a near by stool gently cupping her palms. The nurse excuses them nd leaves. His tear filled eyes scans her face all the way from her injured forehead to her chin filled with scars. His shivering lips curves into a smile seeing her respiring. His shivering thumb traces her wound dressing as tears dripping from his dark orbs falls on her cheek. Kissing her cheeks, eye lids nd forehead while securely cupping her cheeks in his palms. "Mehak"..her name came out as a mere whisper as his endless love succumbed his vocal cords. "M..M...Mehak...see I'm here...I'm back..your Shaurya is back...I have never left you"...he uttered while stammering as he couldn't judge how she lived without him..with the thought of his demise. " I'm sorry jaan...am sorry...I left you.. all alone..am sorry"...he whimpers while tightly clutching her palms. "I couldn't do anything..anything..for you..apart from thinking about you in every second...when I laid helplessly. When every part of my body stopped functioning..I was left with just my heart beat because it belonged to you"..he utters while literally cajoling her palms in the ocean of his tears. "see love..am here with you...your Shaurya is here...for once look at me..open your eyes..love..for once"..he pleaded as his recurring pleas echoed in the room. He caressed her palms showering endless kisses all the way from her knuckles to nails. "see...am still the same...do check my beard..you can feel the same tickling sensation right?"..he said forcing a smile between his sobs while gently rubbing her palms on to his cheek. "plz Mehak...for once open your eyes and look at me.. for the past one year my heart beats existed only for you..I was starving to see you, kiss you, hug you nd be in your solace"...he said while tightly hugging her as he listened to her heaving breaths. "I want you back Mehak...I can't live without you"..he couldn't complete his words as the thought of his mother's lie again wavered his mind. " see those cruel people...they've lied to you that I was no more..I'd definitely punish them..see your Shaurya will punish them badly..now am with you na..no one can separate us...plz open your eyes"...he said struggling to respire properly. "once you get discharged ...then we won't be staying back here.. I"ll take you back...to our world..our paradise...we"ll live happily then...we"ll have kids.. and we"ll be living happily"...he sounded like an excited child controlling his sobs. "I won't get angry at anyone..I won't punish my staff...I swear..I swear that I won't do anything that"ll upset you..Mehak...plz open your eyes"..he pleads while worshipping her palms. "Open your eyes Mehek...just look at me...take me into your embrace..kiss me...pull my cheeks..ruffle my hair..plz jaan..plz."..he couldn't decipher more as he spoke venting out his pain . Kanta nd Sonal stood there numb witnessing his heart wrenching pleas for waking up his lady love. Sonal wept silently while kanta pacifies her.
As tears swarmed in his eyes, he rested his head beside her arms gently closing his eyes as the memories of their love filled life cocooned his mind..
**Flashback**
Three years back...
Christmas eve..
He walked barefooted on the glittering gold sand of Juhu beach. The ice cold waves gently caressed his feet. Unbeknownst of the surroundings he moved like a detangled kite. Startled by a surprising voice he turned back, only to find a girl in her mid 20s standing there folding her arms across her chest. She stood there pretending to be angry but for him she looked like pouting cutely. He was in awe seeing her dressed up in a sleeveless floral frock. Her cute chubby face had traces of sand. Her luscious lips curved into a cute pout. Her adorable dreamy eyes glittered like anything. She snapped her fingers breaking his trance. He threw a questionable look with his eyebrows. She gestured him to look downwards pointing towards a spoilt sand castle. "oh am sorry"...he apologized like a true gentleman. "What sorry haan?..don't you have eyes..you ruined all my efforts"...she said while pouting as if on the verge of crying. "Gawd she looks so adorable nd cute"..he said to himself studying her expressions. "ok..ok..plz don't cry..I'll help you making a new one"...he said while kneeling down. She scrunched her nose nd nodded her head. Beneath the gleaming light from the lamppost the two strangers united to build a sand castle. His feelings for her grew stronger as their hands glided over the sand in unison. He would steal her glance in every second while she focused only on her castle. He thought of initiating a convo but words died in his mouth everytime he looked into her captivating eyes. Time passed nd finally the castle was rebuilt, she clapped her hands like an excited child nd hugged him overwhelmed with joy. It was magic as he was in her embrace. He tightly gripped her body, nd tightly shut his eyes rejoicing the moment. His hands caressed her body pouring out his new found affection. His cologne hypnotized her senses. Their first hug as strangers built in sparkling intensity. She pulled back nd slowly got up nd walked towards the shore being embarrassed. He too followed her like an ardent admirer. They stood beside each other feeling the cool breeze." Myself Shaurya ..a businessman hailing from Delhi...lives in Bandra".. he said initiating the convo while extending his palms. "Am Mehak ...a fashion designer"..she replied with a sweet shy smile while shaking hands with him. As the night progressed their bonding grew stronger. They shared their likes n dislikes in a means to explore each other. Something pure nd magical emerged between them as they talked endlessly. The two sat together admiring each other as their words took a pause. When the church clock strikes 12..she jumped out of joy witnessing the firecrackers in the night sky. She wished him Merry Christmas nd intended to leave. While he held her hands tightly confessing his love for her in a single breath. Her eyes watered hearing him. "I want to marry you Mehak...will you be my better half?"..he said with love filled eyes gently caressing her face. She stepped back leaving his hand. "I'm god's child Shaurya...no one has ever loved me...I have no family, no religion, no caste..you can't love me"...she spoke as tears overflowed her cheeks. Without giving time for a second he shushed her by embracing her. "No..not a single word...you mean everything to me..you are mine..I'll love you till eternity unconditionally"...he said while gently caressing nd kissing her hair as a lone tear escaped from his eyes.
Days passed. They met frequently nd their love blossomed more. He was much desperate to marry her. His family objected his relation with Mehak as she being an orphan. He broke all the ties with them from there on. Mehak was brought up in an orphanage in Delhi. She was pampered by one of the staff's Kanta who was like a motherly figure to her. Mehak broke the news of her relation with Kanta. She was much elated as Kanta was convinced with their relation nd blessed them. Finally they got married in a simple manner in a nearby temple. Later on completed the formalities nd were officially declared as husband nd wife. A beautiful relation germinated as the love birds entered their sweet little apartment officially their little paradise. Their happiness nd love knew no bounds until that uninvited event entered their life a day after their marriage anniversary...
The creamy white sheets moved way ward as he fiddled her with his fingers. As the brisk movement of the morning wind blew the window curtains , the sheets drifts down swiftly revealing their face.He gently opened his eyes welcoming the day after yet another dreamy night, throwing a love filled glance at his beloved as she lay naked closer to his body. With twist nd twirls of the sheet they cuddled more. Their love filled paradise succumbed beneath those silky sheets. Her soft moans were music to his ears as he nibbled her more. She giggled as he sensuously bit her earlobe nd rubbed his bearded cheeks onto her collar bone. She turns to her side tightly gripping the whole length of the sheet hoping to get a peaceful sleep. Well she couldn't as she was supposed to be his prey. Well an escape from her predator of love was next to impossible. He dragged her by the sheets gradually making her hit his hard torso. "Shaurya plz ...let me sleep haan..plz"..she said while pouting cutely keeping her eyes shut. Paying no heed to her words he continued his love torture with his signature sheepish grin. Rather than air their room filled with sweet moans nd cute giggles. Finally he wakes up gently pecking her forehead. He freshens up nd leaves for his work out session. After almost an hour finishing his workout he gets into his car nd droves back excitedly to meet his lady love. Meanwhile he receives a call from her. He answers her with his cheesy lines nd never ending kisses as she enquires about his return. The last thing he could hear probably was her cute replies irritated by his antics. It was just pin drop silence from there on as he lay in a pool of blood, his upper body pierced with shattered glass pieces, his right leg sandwiched between the ajar doors. Partly judging that he is hit nd badly injured. He feebly whispers her name before closing his eyes as volumes of tears oozes out...
**flashback ends**
He gets startled sensing someone's palm on his shoulders. He looks up slowly as Kanta welcomes him with a smile. She gestures while tapping on his shoulders that everything will be alright. She caresses his hair with a motherly love. "you know we found Mehak near the corridor of our orphanage just few days after her birth..I've seen her growing like a strong independent girl..she is like a daughter to me...she is a fighter..nd you wait soon she"ll open her eyes"...Kanta spoke strengthening his belief. He simply nods his head wiping his tears. "Now when you are with her..she"ll be fine soon"..assured Kanta with a promising smile. "How did you find her?...I..mean ..how Mehak is here in Delhi...nd..that doctor said about her suicide...h..hh..how she lived without me?"...he shot his questions blinking back his fresh tears. He almost wailed while asking the last question. Kanta wiped his tears while squeezing his cheeks affectionately. "Mehak never spoke about your accident...I came to know everything from your neighbour...she was not in her senses when you met with the accident.. with your neighbour's help she somehow gained consciousness and reached the hospital.. by then your family broke the news of your death...she was shattered then.. after hours she finally woke up nd wished to see you for the last time ...but ..by then it was told to her that you're final rites were being performed in Delhi .."...Kanta felt a lump in her throat as she deciphered their plight. "My child was devastated, completely broken nd shattered then...she was left all alone..with the help of your kind neighbours I got to know everything...when I reached there she was still sitting on the hospital veranda.. hugging her knees onto her chest..she held onto my knees and cried her heart out. With much difficulty I brought her here along with me. She was so vulnerable in the initial days.. She wouldn't eat, drink or even sleep..I feared whether she'd step into depression...She'd attempted suicide once slaughtering her veins.. by god's grace we got her back...the same day she made a second attempt...nd we were on the verge of losing her..with much difficulty we got her back nd god gave her a reason to live".. Kanta narrated as tears overflowed her cheeks. She tried her best to not breakdown in front of a devastated Shaurya. He uttered a loud cry while covering his face with his palms. His heart was on the verge of bursting learning his love's miserable life. "Mehak"..voiced Kanta in utter happiness. He slowly lifts his palms to look at his beloved. Endless tears overflowed his already swollen eyes as he met hers. He utters her name umpteen times while rubbing his thumb on her cheeks. She smiled heartedly as ocean of tears dripped from her weak eyes. "Shauryaaa...shauryaa"...she cries out his name unable to believe that he's alive. Without wasting a second he took her in his embrace. Their hands caressed each other. They remained in each other's solace soaked in the wetness of their priceless tears. He showered her face with feather light kisses while she grazed her fingers all around his face justifying that it isn't a dream. She was feeling dizzy nd heavy. He gently laid her down on the bed softly caressing her cheeks. She gestured him to bend down. She gently brushes her lips on his forehead by clutching his nape. A smile crept on their lips in unison. Her eyes awaited answers for the reason for their separation nd her dreadful life thereafter.He studied her expression but found difficult to narrate the dreadful events of the past one and a half years. Kanta assured him with her eyes studying his discomfort nd narrated everything. Mehak whimpered hearing her.Her heart broke into million pieces learning his condition. She squeezed his palms tightly while he kissed her tears as of comforting her. She was in a dilemma whether to curse god for the disastrous events or thank him for bringing back her love. Kanta stood there numb seeing their union.
"He is up"...voiced Sonal. The trio turns nd sees Sonal standing there holding a baby almost 4 months old. Mehak nd Kanta smiled heartedly while Shaurya passed a smile seeing the cute Lil one. Mehak excitedly throws a glance at Kanta, while she nods her head in a no. Shaurya looks at them all confused. Kanta nears Sonal nd carries the Lil one in her arms. "I told you before that god gave her a reason to live right?. well this is the reason..you need to be more responsible Shaurya...you are a father too..see here is your junior Shaurya"..Kanta says while gently placing the LiL one in his arms. Shaurya was dumbfounded. He was absolutely clueless about the happenings. His eyes shone with happy tears as he gently lifted up the LiL one. The Lil one looked like a carbon copy of his mother, Cute nd bubbly. He chuckled as the LiL one cooed while playing with his stubble. He turns to look at his wife who's there with a heart winning smile. "our child Shaurya.. our child ...Ansh.."she whispers as silent tears made their way. "our child..Ansh"..he repeats while showering the LiL one with endless kisses. "Pa..Pa..Papa..champ..this is your papa"..he utters while swinging the Lil one in his arms. The LiL one giggles hearing his papa. "Ahem".. Sonal cleared her throat breaking their trance. "This is Mehak's report..there is nothing to worry Shaurya..nd by the way ..her weak physical condition emphasized her post pregnancy period"...Sonal said while handling the report to him.she chuckled remembering how he worried hearing the surgeon's words. Shaurya gave a heart-warming smile thanking her. "And that bottle..it was the syrup for your LiL one"...added Sonal as she chuckled more. "You scared your papa haan?"...he questioned his Lil one while tickling his baby foot. The LiL one giggled more hearing his father's query while gently poking his LiL fingers onto his bearded cheeks. The gloomy atmosphere changed welcoming new rays of happiness. The room filled with their happiness. After two days Mehak got discharged nd they flew to Mumbai with their bundle of joy.
She gently opens her eyes partly hearing some mumblings. The only thing she could remember was that as nd when they reached their paradise she hits the bed. The wall clock strikes 12 alarming it's midnight. She rubbed her eyes with her palms nd her eyes glittered with tears as she saw the sight before her. Her man..her love..her dearest hubby was pacing the room with his stumbling legs, pacify their LiL one who was wailing silently. She was in awe seeing how he cared for their LiL one. She adored how he mumbled some sweet words to put their LiL one to sleep. The sight before her was once actually a dream for her which she thought will not be fulfilled ever. He was continuously pacing the room patting the Lil one's back. Meanwhile he catches a glimpse of his lady love who's awake with a broadened smile on her luscious lips. She gestured him that LiL one is asleep. Getting her confirmation he neared their bed nd gently placed the LiL one. During the process his lady love caresses his face with all love leaving a tender kiss on his cheeks, while he reciprocates by softly kissing hers. He settles down on the bed possessively wrapping his arm around his LiL one and Lady love. His heart filled with joy winning the biggest battle of his life. Getting back his lady love nd their adorable creation. Their eyes dwelled into each other intending to pen down a new chapter of their life. The LiL one pouts nd smiles in his sleep bringing a heart-warming smile on their faces. The trio cuddled more nd slept peacefully.
