Page 18:

"Megha, it is so unfair of you. How can you do this to me?" Mohan was sitting alone on the swing holding Megha's earring and talking to it

He couldn't believe any word of Rimjhim when she told him about Megha's visit to Bhopal house. And how Megha managed to convince them all and leave without meeting him. But he sure believed that she would have seen him before leaving.

"Since when, did you become so selfish? You stole a glimpse of me but left me with nothing of you" Mohan looked at the earring again, then remembered those moments of him stealing a few glances of Megha when leaving Rimjhim there for the first time. He curved his lips in a wry smile on knowing their 'hide and seek' game played on each other.

"Oh Megha! How do you expect me stay calm, now I know that you came here, saw me and left with some part of me that are both going to hurt and heal you in many ways" He bit his lips in pain and folded the earring tightly into his fist releasing a heavy sigh.

Mohan was unable to sleep well. He was walking inside the living room lost in his thoughts.

"Uffoo bhaiya, I know this will happen!" Guru walked in

"Sunna! What do you think had happened now?" Mohan responded annoyingly

"I know that you will miss Megha bhabhi"

"Haaanaa! You are a genius and you know everything" Mohan sat on the couch trying to be normal

"I am not a genius bhaiya, but I am a love genius, especially in your love story!" Guru smiled in pride

"You and your bakwas stories"

"Bhaiya, say anything about me but not about my maa-baapu stories" Guru answered pouting and crossing his arms

"Haaana!!" Mohan smiled remembering those love stories and how it worked in favor of him many times

"But I don't have time for them and I want to sleep now" Mohan stretched himself on the couch in the living room

"Bhaiya, I am very sure that you will not sleep tonight" Guru was not ready to give up and sat down next to him

"Arrey yaar! What do you want me to do now?" Mohan pursed his lips

"I don't know"

"Then why did you start this?"

"I din't! You did!"

Mohan gave a cold stare at Guru and tried to close his eyes without saying anything.

"You are gone crazy and I am sure something will come out of this craziness" Guru murmured to himself before retiring. Mohan was staring at the ceiling without any sign of sleeping

"You are finding it all fun, right" Guru was shocked to hear Mohan's voice early in the morning when he was busy in the kitchen

"Bhaiya, what happened? Is your health ok?" Guru showed sincere concern

"Chup! You know that I didn't sleep at all and now asking for my well being?"

"What did I do bhaiya?"

"Nothing! You are one innocent child" Mohan was furious over his own mental state

"Bhaiya, I am telling you.."

"What, what are you telling me? Are you asking me to meet Megha now?" Mohan burst out what had been pricking him all night

"No' I didn't mean'"

"Should I talk to her?"

"Bhaiya, When did I'"

"Arrey yaar! Should I write/talk to her that I want to meet her now?"

Guru kept quiet knowing what Mohan wanted to do but unable to do for whatever reason it was.

"Bhaiya, Yes that is what you have to do now"

"But how will I? What reason do I have? We are nowhere near our mission and how different it is now than earlier?"

"Addu is here with you now! Isn't that a big difference, bhaiya?"

"I don't even know whether he likes me and whether he is fine being with me"

"Correct bhaiya! Then you will have to wait" Guru did not know what else to say, so he played along

"Arrey yaar! What are you saying? Megha doesn't know about anything going on between me and Addu"

"Correct bhaiya" Guru was confused now

"How could you be so irresponsible Guru? Poor her, waiting there with lots of hope and here you are asking me to wait"

Guru raised his brows in surprise and giggled at Mohan's state of confusion.

"I will have to meet her Guru. I will have to fill her with the details"

"Correct bhaiya" Guru was not confused anymore and he knew things are going to be fine with Mohan

"Hey sunna! I know you are laughing at me" Mohan curved his lips to one side trying to hide his own embarrassment

"People laugh when they are happy" Guru grinned widely showing his happiness. Mohan returned the grin with the same level happiness and walked out contented.

"Guru, I have something to tell you" Nanhi rushed to Guru a little later

"What is it this time?" Guru asked worriedly remembering Nanhi's little pranks in the past

"Arrey, this is nothing like that. This is about Spiderman"

"Oh!" Guru is lot more worried now

"I know Spiderman is missing Mummy after knowing that she was here last night"

"Haan, that is there"

"I am planning to make them meet"

"Nanhi'" Guru was shocked and wanted to tell her about Mohan's plans

"Don't say anything and stop me. I am sure this is going to work well for them both"

"But Nanhi'"

"No Guru! I don't want to hear anything against my plan" Nanhi rushed out without giving another minute for Guru to say anything

"Oh God! Please save bhaiya and me too"

****

"Mummy!"

Megha was greeted by Nanhi at her office. When Nanhi called her to invite her for an office party celebrating her team's success story, Megha was proud of her little daughter's achievement. But she was concerned and worried about visiting Bhopal again. Nanhi insisted on having her mother beside her on the special occasion and informed Megha that she hasn't invited Mohan. Though Megha was surprised about her information, she decided to believe Nanhi and agreed to go to the party.

"Congratulations beta! This is a nice office"

"Isn't it? I like it very much here"

Megha hugged and kissed Nanhi out of pride and excitement. She was happy that she decided to be part of her daughter's happiness. She forgot all confusions about Bhopal and started socializing with Nanhi's colleagues and their family.

As Megha was talking to someone, she glanced through the figure that entered the party hall and was stunned. Mohan looked charming and handsome in a sky blue shirt and a black suit. She wanted to walk to him and touch him but she couldn't move here legs. She felt like they were glued to the floor underneath. As Mohan's view was blocked with people moving around, she whirled her head here and there to get those momentary sights of him. She smiled when he smiled at someone. She nodded her head along with his head. Its only when she saw Nanhi greeting Mohan, she got back to her senses.

"Nanhi, is this all your plan?" She thought to herself and decided to do something about it. She wasn't sure whether she was ready to meet Mohan now only to leave him again in a little while. When she realized that Nanhi was looking around for her, she hid herself behind a decorated pillar in the hall.

"Spiderman, I have a surprise for you" Nanhi's excitement found no bounds

"Haan I know about your surprise" Nanhi wrinkled her brows and thought 'Guru?'

"By the way what's surprise in it. I know he will look smart and handsome"

"Who?"

"Beera" Mohan winked at her but was evaluating her reactions

"Spiderman, you are hopeless! Anyway that's not the surprise. Wait here I will come back"

As Nanhi vanished into the crowd, Mohan just walked towards the drinks area and picked a welcome drink. He smiled at some familiar faces and started his casual conversation. When he glanced through the other people, he spotted a bright sea green saree facing her back towards him far away. His heart beat stopped for a minute recognizing the woman of his life. He found the place static around him. His eyes traced through the sideline of her face and he froze there. He dreaded even to blink thinking that his dream might be lost.

That is when it happened. Megha's eyes wandered again to find Mohan in the crowd when she finally spotted him gazing at her. Their eyes met and stayed there. Neither of them moved and they didn't think they ever would be able to. They found every muscle, every nerve and every bone in their body not aiding them to emote what they wanted to. Megha wanted to smile but her lips felt dried and useless. Mohan wanted to nod but he did not feel his head on his body.

Finally tears of joy oozed out to prove them the magical moment was for real. They never wanted those moments to fade away and preferred to stand there cherishing them. But the reality stuck in the form of an announcement calling for Navika to accept the Youth Achievement Award. As they applauded, they looked at each other sharing the proud moment for their little Nanhi. They managed to take those little steps towards each other smiling amidst their tears.

"Congratulations" They both uttered at the same moment celebrating the joy. And they were amused to hear the voice of the others

They touched each other's cheeks and wiped the tears. They did not remove the hands and were lingering on their touch to feel each other. They quenched all their thirst of missing each other, by drinking deep into their eyes. They then moved on to trace from top to bottom carefully noting down every detail. He picked her hand from his cheeks and kissed it. She rested her head on his chest and hugged him tightly showing how much she missed him all these years. Mohan did not fail to reciprocate his feelings. They both were lost in each other for a very long time till music brought them back.

They moved aside away from the crowd. He did not let go off her right hand and folded it tightly into his fist. She smoothed his hair with her left hand and asked

"So much hair?"

"No time for a haircut"

Both laughed at their conversation. Nanhi jumped in between them

"Yahooo! I did it!"

"Yes, you did it" Mohan and Megha acknowledged her in chorus and hugged her together

Mohan and Megha did not leave by each other's side during the rest of the party. They ate, drank, talked and laughed together. As the time flew by, they started sensing the separation coming by. They held their hands like scared teenagers not ready to let go off for fear of the parting moment.

"Hello Mohan!" A sweet female voice intruded them

"Hello Anu"

Anu gave a warm hug to Mohan thus leaving Mohan to remove his hands from Megha and returning the gesture to Anu.

"Megha, this is Anu. My good old friend"

Mohan introduced Anu to Megha and they started their conversation. Megha was standing there for a while when Nanhi took her to meet some other friends of hers. Megha never took her eyes off Mohan and she wasn't sure of what she was thinking. She found herself fuming like a normal wife, angry with her husband for trivial things as if it was their daily routine.

"Hey Megha, Where did you go? I was looking for you" Mohan came back to take her hands again

"Thank God for that" Megha did not let go off his hands but wasn't ready to keep quiet

"What is it Mrs. Bhatnagar?"

"So you remember that I am your wife?"

He pulled her closer to him by her waist, looked at her intensely and said "Any doubts?"

"Then why did you not introduce me to her?"

"To whom?"

"Anu! Your good old friend!" Megha was angry and sulked while saying that

"I really didn't'"

"Didn't know how to introduce me?"

"Haan.. Oh No'" Mohan was blabbering and was at loss of words

"No problem. Keep thinking about it by then I will leave" She started walking towards the exit while Mohan stopped her taking her hands.

"Megha" He drew her close to him "Is my Mirchi jealous?" He whispered in her ears

Megha moved her face near to his, leaving almost no space in between "I don't have to" she said hoarsely and ran out of the hall. Before Mohan could realize what was happening, she was far away and vanished into the dark outside.

He ran behind her when a beep on his phone stopped him. He found a text message from Megha

"Before I could lose my strength I better leave. I am very happy and I want it to remain. I love you - Megha"

Mohan closed his eyes and gripped the phone close to his heart lost in the moment.
