Benaam Rishta
Chapter 15
Mehek stepped in Shaurya's room with the kaada he left in her room. She found Vicky applying cold press on Shaurya's forehead to reduce fever. "Bhai,you haven't eaten or drank anything since morning,if this continues you will end up in hospital soon!" Vicky told him. "For goodness sakes Vicky! Leave me alone yaar!" Shouted Shaurya in frustration. Vicky saw Mehek standing by the door. She gestured him not worry as she will look after him. Vicky nodded and left leaving his bhai into his bhabi's hands. The room was warm and lightsome. She kept the glass on the nightstand and sat on the bed beside Shaurya who was lying with his eyes closed. "Shaurya..." she ran her fingers through his hairs. He shot his eyes open at the feel of her and the sound of her sweet voice. Seeing her face lowered to him,Tears of joy and relief shone in his delighted eyes and his lips parted though they would not speak. Mehek watched him, watched the way the corners of his eyes crinkled a little and his whole face came alive. "Kaada pilo Shaurya.." she said softly. "Did you?" He asked. "Not yet...We'll have it together." She helped him to sit up and placed a pillow behind his back as he leaned back on the headboard. "Is this the one I made?" He asked. "Han baba..this is the kaada you made for me." She brought the glass to his mouth. "Chalo pilo isey." He stared at her for a long moment before smiling a little and taking a sip of the bitter solution. "This is bitter yaar..I can't drink this!" Shaurya made a face. "You are the one that made it! Natak mat karo chup chaap khatam karo isey!" Ordered Mehek. "I made it for you and instead you are feeding me? Here ...open your mouth!" He took the glass from her hand and brought it closer to her lips. "Here's some more kaada for both of you and something to eat!" Manju stepped in with food and the leftover kaada. "Thanks Manju!" Said Mehek while taking the tray from her hand and putting it on the bed. Shaurya was just staring at Mehek's face. He could see and feel she loved him like no other. "Don't stare just finish your medicine then finish the food." Mehek tried to hide the colour that rose to her cheeks just by his stare. "Take a sip from my glass then I'll finish it without any complain." Shaurya told her with a wink. Mehek nodded with a flushed face and drank from his hand. After finishing her share,she poured some more for him and made him drink. "Shabash! Now have your food." Mehek reached for the sandwiches when Shaurya grabbed her hand. "I won't eat until you answer me." Mehek looked at him painfully. "Hmm bolo.." she said softly and looked at his huge hand grasping hers tightly. He quickly let go. "What's bothering you Mehek?" She avoided his piercing gaze and looked away. "Ku Kuch bhi toh nai...can we eat now? I'm starving!" Shaurya knew something was up and Mehek was hiding it. He brought his hand to the side of her face and tilted her chin to meet his eyes. "You don't know how to lie so don't even try it." She was stunned momentarily speechless. The fierce glint in his eyes nearly sent her crumbling to the floor again. She tore her gaze from his and stood up. Trying to control her tears she moved away from the bed. "Mehek..." Shaurya also got out of bed and tried to reach her when his head spun and he almost went down but Mehek caught him on time. Both shared an eye-lock. He wanted to say something when Mehek pressed her finger on his lips. "First eat then talk! You are so weak without food!" Shaurya just stared at her beautiful face as she helped him to sit. "Muh kholo!" Without saying a word,like a innocent child, Shaurya opened his mouth and she fed him. Shaurya recalled the moment when he had fallen from the stairs in khanna mansion and how Mehek took care of him. She was doing the same now. Lost in her beautiful face,Shaurya finished his food. "Thank you Mehek...I don't know what I'll do without you." Mehek avoided his eyes as she had tears in her eyes. Shaurya got up to go to the washroom. "Ek minute! I'll take you there." Shaurya smiled at her as she helped him to the washroom. Mehek stood with her back to him until he finished. When he was done,Mehek helped him to wash his hands and face. He grabbed her dupatta and dried his face and hands with it and then placed it around her neck. He was standing so close to her that His hot breath on her skin sent shivers down her body. Their eyes met,he cupped her cheeks lovingly. "Your eyes never lie...so tell me What is it that you are hiding from me?" Tears sprung in her eyes and she placed her hands over his which was still cupping her cheeks. "Kal mera Roka hai Rahul ke saath ..." she said softly and walked out from there. "Mehek! Ruko please!"
Mehek stood in front of his dresser and sobbed. Shaurya came behind her and caught her arm and urged her to turn back. "Mehek..." he pulled her close, placed one hand on her lower back, and laid the other on the side of her neck, his thumb gently caressing her cheek. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She leaned her cheek into his hand and closed her eyes for a moment, relishing his sudden assertiveness. It reminded her of the Shaurya she first fell in love with. "To hell with the Roka! You are mine you hear me!" He pulled her closer and whispered passionately against her lips, "I love you, Mehek, and you will be accepting me into your life...soon! He paused to lower his voice. Mehek started to cry. His heart ached seeing her break down like that. He exhaled and wiped her tears with the back of his fingers. He palmed her cheeks and made her look in his eyes. "Aysa Kya karu main Mehek ki tum mere paas dubara aajao? Hmm? Tum chahti Kya ho Mehek Tell me!" I promise I'll do whatever you say bass tum roh mat...Bahut aansoo diye hai main ne tumey...I can't see tears in your eyes anymore." Shaurya's voice was brittle. Mehek gazed deep in his eyes. "I want to trust you again Shaurya...can you teach me how?" A lone tear escaped the corners of Shaurya's eyes. "I would like to grow old with you before I lose you Shaurya...please save me from all this that is happening!" Cried Mehek. Shaurya joined his forehead with hers and their noses rubbed. "I promise you Mehek...I'll win your trust back! Not by words but by my actions you'll start trusting me ...we'll not lose each other Mehek ...never! just know this alright?." A smile crept on Meheks lips. Slowly, he lowered his head and softly kissed each of her eyelids, then the tip of her nose and both cheeks. "I love you Mehek! I always will!" Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and warmth crept under her skin. He brushed his thumb gently across her lower lip. That touch made her pulse race and Nervous excitement ran in her tummy. Shyly She lowered her gaze and looked at her toes curl in anticipation. "Tum Araam karo Shaurya ..main chalti Hun." She said softly. "But I don't want to rest." He frowned. "I know but you have to." Mehek dragged him to the bed and tucked him nicely. "After a nice nap,you'll feel better." "What about you? Won't you sleep? I mean you are unwell too and you should rest instead of running here and there."said Shaurya. "I have to run here and there ...tomorrow Is my Roka ..have you forgotten? " Mehek wanted to see him jealous. "Han toh jaao naacho!" He said loudly with anger in his voice. Mehek suppressed her laughter. "Won't you stop the Roka?" Shaurya grimaced. "Why would I? I won't ...if you love me then call it off yourself!" Shaurya told her sternly. "But I ..." Mehek couldn't finish what she was saying when Shaurya pulled the blanket over his head and slept! "Haww! Theek hai mat roko! Hone doh meri Roka uss ullu se!" Making a face she stormed out of the room. Shaurya laughed and removed the blanket from his face. "Roka toh tumey hii rokna parega miss sharma!" He smiled looking at the ceiling and gradually drifted off.
Next day,everyone except the khannas were excited for the Roka ceremony. Mehek was sitting sadly on her bed. Manju was trying to console her. "Have faith Di,Shaurya will definately stop the Roka ...he won't be able to see someone else putting a ring on your finger." Mehek walked to the window wiping her tears. "He won't manju...he said I have to call it off myself...par main kayse karungi? What will I tell everyone? Kuch samaj nai aa raha ..." Mehek paced the room. "You have to think fast Di! We don't have much time!" Said Manju. Both got busy figuring out a way to stop the Roka.
In Shaurya's room,Shaurya was also pacing the room. "Bhai,you are telling me that Mehek Bhaabi will call off the Roka,what if she's waiting for you to stop the Roka? Ayse toh Roka ho jaayga bhai!" Vicky rubbed his forehead in frustration. "Roka nai hoga Vicky!Mehek loves me very much ...and if there's power in our love then she won't go on with the Roka I know." Shaurya came out of the room and saw the hall was being decorated nicely. Close families were arriving from all over Jaipur. Shaurya's eyes fell on Karuna ma heading towards Meheks room. "Mom!" He howled. Karuna stopped,Shaurya hurried towards her. Karuna looked sadly at him. "This Roka has to be stopped Shaurya! I can't see her doing all the rituals which she already did with you!" Tears filled her eyes. "Don't worry mom,this Roka won't happen!" He assured her and hugged her sideways. "I'm taking lehenga suit for Mehek,tum bhi Chalo mere saath." Said Karuna. Shaurya was dying to see Mehek so he quickly followed her to the room. Karuna ma gently pounded on the door. Manju opened it,Karuna stepped in but Shaurya stayed behind . "Ma aap?" Mehek hurried towards Karuna. "I brought you your attire for the ceremony." She looked painfully at Mehek. She then neared her and touched her head lovingly. "I never expected to see your Roka twice in a life time beta!" Mehek was at the verge of crying. Suppressing her tears,Karuna left from there. When Shaurya stepped in,Manju excused herself and left as well closing the door behind her. Meheks face lit up when she saw him. "Shaurya!" She ran and touched his forehead and neck to check if he still had fever. "Tum theek ho na?" Shaurya nodded. "I'm ok...guests are here ...ceremony will start soon..you have an hour to change your mind I mean to get ready." He said while looking away. "So you won't intervene and stop the Roka?" She asked sadly. "No! You have to do it yourself ..if you love me ...or else I'm packing my bags and leaving for Delhi right after he puts that ring on your finger!" Tears streamed down her cheeks,Shaurya felt bad seeing her crying but he didn't have any choice. Mehek sat on the bed with a thud. Shaurya's eyes moistened and he's hands reached out to comfort her and to take her in his arms,to kiss every tear away but stopped halfway. Apologizing in his heart he left from there. A pair of eyes has been spying on them without MehRya's knowledge.
Ceremony was about to start. Guests were seated in the hall. Rahul was dressed up nicely and and sat on a special chair waiting for Mehek. Shaurya and Vicky were standing away from the crowd,Rahul gestured them to join him but Shaurya said it's fine. His eyes were on the door of Meheks room. His chest was pumping hard making him more nervous. "My love is not a lie! Saccha pyaar karta Hun main usse...and our love will win today!" Shaurya was blabbering to himself when the door opened and mrs purohit brought Mehek out. She looked like a princess in green and red lahenga. Shaurya stopped breathing for a minute ..he just couldn't take his eyes off her as she came down the stairs. "Bhai! Stop dreaming! Bhaabi is going on with the Roka yaar! Kuch karo bhai..." Vicky felt like crying. But Shaurya stood still,not moving nor saying anything. When Mehek was seated beside Rahul,her eyes searched for shaurya. She found him standing afar. He met her glance with a look of overwhelming guilt for causing her pain. Their eyes were speaking volumes. Silence spoke when voice couldn't. Shaurya knew right there that Mehek will not go on with the Roka. A smile crept on his face,a confident one. "Mera bhai pagal hogaya hai shayad sadme se." Vicky said when he saw Shaurya smiling with folded arms. Rings were about to be exchanged. "Mehek beta haath aagey karo." Mrs purohit said. Rahul was ready with a ring to slide on her finger. With tear filled eyes,Mehek looked at Shaurya and forwarded her hand. "Khoon! Rahul screamed. "Subh mauke par khoon ka girna ashubh mana jaata hai!" Someone shouted from the crowd. Mehek kept her eyes intact on Shaurya's face. Shaurya's expression changed suddenly. "Give your other hand Mehek!" Ordered Rahul. She forwarded her other hand and it was also covered in blood. Everyone's eyes widened in shock! "Why is your hand bleeding? What did you do?" Enquired Rahul. "She was picking up broken glasses from the floor that's how she injured her hand." Manju told everyone. "This Roka is over before it even started!" Mr purohit announced. Shaurya ripped through the crowd,tripping and falling he reached Mehek. "Her hand is bleeding,and instead of attending to her wounds you are asking question? Bloody hell!!!" He roared at Rahul. Rahul swallowed when he saw his eyes blazing fire. "Manju,bring the first aid kit in Meheks room! Fast!" Said Shaurya. Mehek was about to pass out when Shaurya swept her up in his powerful arms. "Out of my way everyone of you!" His voice echoed in the hall. With panic stricken faces,everyone made way for him and moved back. The purohits and the guests looked at him in awe but he didn't gave a damn about it! He carried Mehek to her room. Vicky ran after them.
He kicked the door open and carried her to the bed. Gently laying her down on the bed he attended to her wounds. "Pagal ladki! Didn't you have mouth to call off the Roka? Why did you hurt yourself? Bloody hell!" Mehek didn't answer,she just stared at his face. She was seeing mixed emotions on his face. He loved her! It was written all over his face. She was the one who was hurt but Shaurya was experiencing the pain. Tears swam in her eyes. "Shaurya.." she muttered his name softly. He cut her off. "Chup! Bilkul chup! Ek shabd Aur kaha na ..toh utha kar phenk dunga khirki se bahaar!" Mehek suppressed her laughter. Vicky's eyes welled up seeing their love. Manju came running with the first aid kit. "And where were you? Late kiyu ayee?Market gayee thi Kya yeh kharidne?" He asked . "Sorry ..." Manju apologized with a sad face. Mehek clamped her lips to prevent a giggle from escaping. Shaurya cleaned the wounds,applied ointment and bandaged it. Just then the purohits entered the room. Rahul was having hard time seeing Shaurya and Mehek so close together so he asked. "Dude,I have never seen you so worried and concerned about Mehek ...Is there something I should know.?". "I love her!" Said Shaurya. Everyone's eyes popped out at his answer. "Like a friend...he loves her like a friend! I love her too...I mean we all love her right bua?" Vicky tried to cover up. Karuna ma nodded her head. Vicky had managed to bring the situation under control. Rahul let out the breath he was holding. Mr purohit touched Shaurya's head. "Everyone should get a friend like you Shaurya! God bless you both!" Blessing them,the purohits left. "I'll go see if we can get another date for the Roka." Said Rahul and made his way to the door. "I heard there's no shub mahurat for next two months." Shaurya told him. Rahul grimaced angrily. "Then I'll go arrange a nurse for her as she won't be able to use her hands for few days." "There won't be a need for that as I'll be taking care of Mehek myself till she gets better!" Shaurya told him firmly. Meheks mouth dropped open and Rahul's eyes widened. Rahul knew arguing with him was just a waste of time so he left fuming with anger. "Bhaiya,you have two months ...Di ko bhaga lejao yaha se!" Manju gave her opinion. Mehek glared at her and she quickly left from there. "Bhai I'll be in my room if you need me." Saying that Vicky also left. He was happy that Roka didn't happen but felt bad for Mehek as she had to injure her hand to stop the Roka.
MehRya were alone in the room. Shaurya was not happy with what Mehek did. His eyes were red with anger. Mehek trembled seeing him like that. "I'm sorry Shaurya...I asked you to call off the Roka but you didn't so I was left with no choice na?" Shaurya looked at her angrily. "You are one stupid girl you know that?" Mehek smiled. "And you fell in love with this stupid girl Shaurya." Shaurya melted right away and his eyes softened. They both shared an eyelock. Their train of thoughts broke when Manju entered with a tray full of food for them. "It's lunch time guys!" Leaving the food on the nightstand she was leaving when Mehek said."I need to change,can you help me?" Manju thought for a second and said "No! Your private nurse is here,I'm sure he'll love to help you change." She winked at Mehek and left. "Manju ki bacchi main tujhey dekh lungi!" She yelled behind her. Shaurya was smiling quietly knowing that she's stuck with him till she gets better. He figured out ways to win her trust back. "Shaurya I'm starving please khilao mujhey!" Cried Mehek. "Huh? Oh yeah the food! Sorry I was thinking about something."
Shaurya fed her and himself as well. Several pairs of eyes were watching them from the keyhole one at a time. "Chalo I'll help you change." Said Shaurya while putting away the dishes. Meheks eyes widened. "No...I'll take Manju''s help!" She said while drawing her knees up and hugging it to her chest. "Why not me?" He asked while going through her closet for her pj's. "Kiyu ki I'm feeling shy." Colour rose to her cheeks making her go red. He left her pj's on the bed and helped her out of bed. "What you doing Shaurya?" Main ne kaha na mujhey sharm aa rahi hai!" She said while lowering her gaze. Shaurya chuckled. "Don't worry my love! I won't see anything...Trust me on this..will you?." He gently hauled her to him and closed his eyes. Mehek thought that was the sweetest thing he did. She couldn't help but fall for him once again. Love blossomed in her heart ... He caressed her cheek and her eyes fluttered. Keeping his eyes shut he removed her dupatta. She couldn't stifle the swift intake of breath when he unbuttoned her blouse and gently pulled it off her body.His fingers traced the line of her bra where her softness plumped out over the top, and heat spread out along her skin. As if they hadn't felt huge before, her softness suddenly felt heavy and all tingly. They were swelling to his touch. "Oh god he has to stop!" Mehek prayed in her heart. She blushed sucking in her breath. She then looked away, then looked back at him, realizing his eyes were still shut and his hand moved to her waist. His hand touched her bare flesh around the waist in search of her dori. She shuddered. Shaurya moved closer to her and a soft sound left the back of her throat. He untied her lahenga and it crumbled on the floor. She was standing in front of him in two lacy lingeries yet his eyes remained shut. He found the pj's and reached to pull her to him,she felt the hard line of him against her belly. Embarrassed with his hardness on her belly she started panting. As he slid the top down her head,his thickness rubbed on her belly. She clamped her lips to prevent a whimper. Pleasure shot through her when his rugged hands rubbed her softness in the process. Her knees turned jello and she thought she will melt down on the floor at any minute. She sighed when Shaurya told her to slide her legs in the pants. She did and he pulled her pants up. "There you go Mehek musibat sharma!" He opened his eyes to find her in tears. "Oye ladki Kya huwa? Hand is sore Kya?" He made her sit on the bed and gently took her hands in his. He started blowing his breath on it to soothe the pain. Mehek couldn't hold her emotions anymore! With a sob She threw herself in his arms and buried her head in his chest. "Mehek! What's wrong?" His arms went around her, hugging her tight, his head dropped to her shoulder and his mouth pressed into her hair as he whispered, "Kya huwa bolo na.." He held her,cradling her head, rubbing her back. Her body was so warm in his embrace. As he caressed her hair, soft as she'd imagined, she tilted her face to look up at him. His eyes glittered with so much love. "Thank you Shaurya.." she leaned and planted a kiss on his cheek. Her voice rumbled against his ear. "I've brought you so much trouble after everything you've done for me. Maybe it's not too late to fix it...you'll fix it na?" Tears welled at the corners of her eyes and she blinked them away. With a satisfied smile,Shaurya stroked the side of her face, his thumb lingering across her lips. He then gathered her close again, kissing the top of her head and rubbing his hand on her back. "I'll fix everything babe...just give some time..I promise I'll take you away from here in no time!" Mehek smiled on his chest. "Now get some sleep I'm tired as well." He helped her lie down,her eyes shut when he ran his fingers through her hairs. Watching her sleep he also dozed off beside her.
