"Marriage ? To Mehek ? Are you serious ? You proposed and She Agreed ? What the ... I can't believe it " Purab sounded so shocked over phone. Shaurya couldn't suppress his laugh, "Purab, you are such a nautanki".
"Me...dramatic ? Look who is talking . Few hours back, you called me, all devastated. Now you are informing me that wedding bells are going to ring soon. What magic is this? Magic of true love ?" Purab was inquisitive.
"Anything but love buddy. It is magic of your bhai's negotiation skills. It was like those crazy meetings, where I had gone blank but impressed investors with my crazy, out of the box ideas." Shaurya was beaming .
Purab was taken aback , "But Bhai, Mehek is not a business deal. She is a human being, whom will be part of your life soon. However bold she may pretend to be , accepting your proposal is a big step for her. I have not met her but from what I have heard from you, she is a sensitive person. You need to be delicate with her". Purab was always the sweet heart of ladies. He was eternally at service of any damsel in distress. Shaurya knew that he meant well yet suddenly he didn't like that fact that Purab was being mushy towards Mehek. "Shut up, Purab. Kaam ki baat karein. Get the papers ready. I want to be legally wedded to her at the earliest. Next day of wedding we will come to my mansion. No press at my house or here. Media will have no scoop or snaps of this wedding until I officially disclose it at a press conference" Shaurya paused giving his instructions. "Anything else, Boss" Purab tried to induce some humor. "Contact our PR office and ask them to come up quickly with a simple love story between lonely millionaire and middle class lady. It must be realistic. Tell them that the person with most convincing story will be rewarded handsomely" Shaurya said. Purab was interested "Bhai , when did you need a screenplay to perform before the Press". "It's not for the Press. It's for Mehek's family. Those lucky people who are becoming my in-laws for second time." Shaurya smirked.
Mehek was on phone with Kanta chachi. As soon as she informed her marriage plans, she blasted Mehek. Once she had enough scolding from her, Mehek kept her phone down. She wanted to cry bitterly but she couldn't .Her first wedding was amidst blessing of entire family with full rituals. Yet she had the most painful marital experience. Her second wedding will be devoid of family and rituals. But she was determined this time. She thought ,if Shaurya Khanna tries to hurt me or Pari, then I will use relevant laws to free us from him. If he is good guy, then as he said No Regrets.
COUPLE OF DAYS LATER.
"She woke up early that day. Today is the day. She got ready and wore her simple but elegant red salwar suit. Shaurya was waiting for her outside. He looked really comfortable in his dark brown suit. During his stay at Jannat, he was always in his casuals. Mehek was seeing him in formals for the first time. She said to herself, "He is surely a visual treat". "I beg your pardon" he asked. She shook her hear indicating nothing. "Don't be tensed. It will be over soon. All arrangements are made already. We just have to reach and sign", he reassured.
M: "Shaurya, will anyone come from your family for our wedding?"
He paused a little before replying. "No. None from my side coz I have no family .My family is only Pari...From today onwards it will be Pari and ...You". Mehek felt good hearing last part but his next sentence dampened her spirits. "It's better to be without family rather than having one who is not ready to support you when you need them the most". Before she could reply his taunt, Adv Mehta's car came to pick them.
They reached court and was about to enter. "Don't go without us", they heard voice of a middle aged women accompanied by an young man. Their resemblance suggested that they were mother and son.
S:" Amma, you came ? I am so happy you are here. I knew you were not keeping well and thought you couldn't make it" Shaurya quickly went and hugged her. "I wouldn't miss it for the world, Shauri" she replied. Shaurya came and pulled Mehek to the lady. He looked as excited as a school boy introducing his mother & his girlfriend.
S:" Amma, this is Mehek . Mehek, this is my Amma. It was Amma who took care of me since my childhood". Mehek quickly bent down and touched her feet. Amma blessed her. Young man behind quickly moved forward and said "Hello Bhabi. I am her son. But Amma loves Bhai more than me. Aur najeez ko Purab kehte hain ( I am called Purab). Finally you got to meet the real Purab Mehra". "I am charmed real Purab Mehra", she gracefully replied while shaking hands with him. Meanwhile she felt Shaurya's grip tightening around her wrist.
Finally they entered chamber and signed the documents. It was just official and numb. But then Amma came forward, gave Shaurya mangalsutra from her bag. "Amma, I don't want all these rituals" Shaurya protested. "Be quite. You don't understand importance of these rituals. Just do as your Amma tells you" she scolded him. He took it from her and came near Mahek. When he was tying the mangalsutra around her neck, Mehek became emotional. She was missing her family. Meanwhile Amma gave sindoor box to Shaurya and he applied sindoor on Mehek. She closed her eyes and tears were flowing down slowly. Shaurya understood her pain. He softly wrapped his hand around her shoulder and whispered "It's going to be fine Mehek. Your family will also accept us"
Amma and Purab bid adieu and left . Even though she knew Amma only for few hours , she felt lonely and wished that she had stayed back. Vakil uncle also wished them and left. Shaurya came near her and said " Are you ready to leave now?". "Where?", she asked. "We are going to you home town Mehek. We need to pick up Pari. Moreover I need to meet your family too. After all they are now my family too", he coolly said. Mehek was not ready to head home but she needs to pick Pari . Somehow with Shaurya beside her, she felt a bit more confident to face them. She nodded and got inside the car.
Few hours passed by. The newlyweds didn't talk to each other. Both were lost in thoughts. Finally Mehek broke silence and asked him "Why were you not interested to meet us earlier ?". He gave her a confused look.
M: "By earlier I meant, after you got married to ...Nehal".
S: "I never knew that she had a family. All she told me was that her parents were rich and they were killed in an accident when she was quite young. She told me that her relatives took over her wealth and dumped her in a boarding school. After completing her education, she was struggling on her own to become successful model".
Shaurya paused giving Mehek a moment to absorb what he said. He didn't say anything more and gazed outside.
Mehek was really sad. So Shaurya never knew anything about us , Nehal's family . She had lied about us . What more have you lied Nehal? What more have you done to Shaurya? Earlier itself , Mehek wanted to know Shaurya's side of story. But then their fight, his proposal and wedding, all came in such a pace that she didn't get chance to talk to him properly. She was about to open her mouth but then realized that they reached her home.
Mehek stood frozen in front of her house. All confidence she had were drained now. She felt Shaurya hold her hand and she looked at him. He didn't say anything but his touch was reassuring, telling her not to worry. She knocked the door and Kanta Chachi opened. Seeing Mehek wearing mangalsutra and sindoor made her furious. She started scolding her loudly "Mehek, you got married? So you decided to go against our wish and marry HIM. How could you Mehek? You were my mature daughter right? Still you too managed to hurt me like ...like your sister". Chachi was on verge of tears. Mehek wanted to cry but she stood there still. By then , her brother Mohit came from behind and pleaded to his mom "Ma, please let them come inside. Let us all sit inside and talk. You are making a scene before of whole neighborhood". Kanta moved back and Mohit welcomed them "Congrats Mehek. Congrats to both. Please come inside. Don't mind Ma. She is bit emotional when it comes to her betis". Shaurya smiled and shook hands with Mohit. Mehek hugged Mohit. She suddenly felt that her baby brother had grown up and handled the situation wisely.
They were sitting inside the hall. Tension was building. Finally Mohit said "Pari has gone outside to play with her friends. Else our house is never silent. Though Ma tries her best to compensate by being loud". Mohit and Shaurya chuckled. "Now I know from where Pari got her pretty smile. She smiles just like you" Mohit said. Though proud to hear it , Shaurya tried to be modest asking "Really?". "Yes. She smiles just like you " Mehek blurted out. He looked at his newly wedded wife and flashed that familiar smile. Mohit noticed an eyelock between them. "Hope you guys will be leaving soon with Pari ?", Kanta chachi interrupted their moment. She was unable to stand Shaurya anymore. He took the cue. He stood up and came near Kanta chachi.
S: "Aunty, I know how you are feeling ? For you , I am the villain who took away your daughter and now got married to another daughter of yours that too against your wishes. Few weeks back I would have never understood your feeling. But now I know coz I too have a daughter now. Daughters are heart of family." He paused & continued "Nehal and me , we had our issues & we parted. It was not easy for both of us but it was inevitable. I knew about Pari very late. I accept, it's my fault that it took me 4 years to realize that I have a daughter. But when I came to see her, I understood that though her mother passed away , all these years she was with Mehek who takes care of her just like her mother. I realized that snatching Pari from Mehek will be a crime. I could have done that but it would have broken Mehek . I couldn't abandon my child either. More time I spend with Mehek, made me realize that no one else can be Pari's mother and I too wished mayhap my lonely existence will have some solace with Mehek's presence. When I shared my concerns with Mahek, we understood each other and decided to take care of Pari together as her parents. Life has given second chance to both of us and we agreed to take it"
Kanta chachi's anger was slowly melting. Mohit and Mehek could feel it . He had nailed it , Shaurya thought. She was an angry women but an emotional one too. The well written lines provided by his extra talented PR team helped him a lot. He folded his hands and continued , "When I got married to Nehal, I did the mistake of not seeking your blessing. But I don't want to repeat it. We need your blessing". Mehek too came near Shaurya and folded her hands. "Ma, please don't be so adamant. Mehek and Pari will be happier this way. Nobody is perfect. But if one realizes his mistake and try to amend it then it makes them a better person. Give them a chance" Mohit pleaded. Slowly chachi nodded and gave her blessing to the newlyweds. Mehek was so happy and relieved. Mohit volunteered to bring back Pari. Kanta chachi asked Mehek to take Shaurya to her room while she was preparing dinner. Mehek wanted to help but Chachi refused to let the new bride work.
When they reached her room, Mehek told him that she and Nehal shared it for long time. Room had lot of photographs. Shaurya noticed a groupfie of an young man hugging Mehek & Nehal. 'Who is he?' he asked quickly. "That ...That's Ajay. Captain Ajay Parmar. My late husband" , she replied. "Oh, I am sorry.", he quickly apologized ."It's ok . I was anyway going to tell you that it was Ajay". She went near the window and looked outside. Shaurya didn't want to upset Mehek. When he saw an image of Mehek being so close to another guy, he couldn't stop himself . At the moment, he wanted to kick himself. He went near her and was about to apologize again but heard her voice " Thank you for what you did downstairs. We could have just left after picking up Pari. Yet you stayed back, reasoned and pacified by family. Their acceptance means a lot to me". He squeezed her hand softly and said "I know." She was on verge of tears. He didn't want her to cry, she had gone through a lot today but not anymore. "You know Mehek, you look terrible when you are sad . You look so much better when you are fighting with me". Despite being emotional she couldn't help chuckling. "This smiley face also suits you but your fight mode is the best", he added. Mehek was laughing now. God, I missed her laughter, he realized.
To avoid any embarrassment Shaurya changed the topic, " Mehek, when Pari comes, I want you to tell her that I am her father. I want her to know it from you, her mother". Mehek agreed.
When Mehek didn't talk ,he took the lead again "We will leave for my place tomorrow morning. We will have a small party there to introduce you and Pari. Don't worry , we won't be staying there long. Purab is hunting a good house in your town and we will move in there. I too prefer that Pari continues in her current habitat. This way you can also run your business without interruption." Mehek was surprised that he thought about all these things and was considerate towards her & Pari. She looked at him lovingly. Shaurya noticed it and craved for more. Before they could talk further, Pari rushed in.
