AN: Sorry for not replying to the comments...I will do so when I am free. How are all of you? I wanted to clear up a few things. Both Mehek and Shaurya have different parents they are in no way related to each other besides the marriage between Harish and Meera. Which did not last long as Meera died...But stick around who knows what might happen
Since this is in Shaurya's Pov some scenes might be a little choppy but you will see everything from his eyes in this story.
I have already written over most of this story so I am just posting twice a day.
Anya is still busy at collage so when the updates get a little slower please don't kill her.
Anya thanks you all for reading, her attempts as a writer.
Chapter 9: Tears
"Hello Shaurya Shaurya sighed, he hated parties more than anything. He hated the fact that in his business he was forced to attend so many of them. He held a glass of Champaign in his hand and idly stood watching everyone dancing and laughing.
It was that girl he went to school with the one who vowed to see him poor one day. She looked up at him with glazed eyes.
She was wearing an expensive dress. It fitted her thin rake like body like glove. She placed her hand on the lapel of his jacket.
"I don't recall your name He said, evenly. He really did not recall her name.
"Niki, we went to high school together She said trying to sound seductive, yet she just sounded masculine for some reason and so did her jaw line. Shaurya shuddered, at the excessive red lighting in her hair, She looked like cheap Bratz doll from a knock of Chinese shop. Wearing expensive clothing.
She reached out and dipped her finger in his glass and then put it in her mouth, again trying to be seductive.
Charming wasn't she Shaurya thought to himself, He took a side step.
"You have gotten bigger She said reaching out and running her hand down his bicep.
Shaurya stared at her breasts with mild amusement.
"Well I guess I could say the same about you He said, she smiled thinking it was a compliment.
"I had them upgraded double DD's She said adjusting them. He followed the movement, then looked up and sighed. He was happy Mehek and his father had not shown up to the party, his father still got invites because of his status as Shaurya Khannas father.
"As interesting as this is, do you mind He said dismissively.
She looked a little confused.
"Leave He said impatiently annoyance flashed into her eyes.
"You know you were always a snob and you still are. I have no idea why you think you are so great! You used to get bullied as a boy do you remember that? Do you remember how they locked you one time in the Janitors closet and no one found you until the next day because your father was on his honeymoon? She said spitefully.
"You have no idea who you are messing with Shaurya said, laxing the tip of his glass it fell onto her ice blue dress, she shrieked like a third-rate villain.
"You damn jerk how dare you? She said throwing her bag at him, Shaurya stood still as she muttered filthy curses and the whole room grew quiet.
"If I were you I would shut my mouth you cheap little bitch. I tried to wash away the dirt in front of me, but looks like I just made a bigger mess. What do you think that reminding me of yesterday will somehow ease your rejection? I never would have touched you before and I won't ever touch you now
"You called me dirt. You are the biggest dirt bag in the entire planet and I hope that one day you fall of your pristine pedis tool so hard that you won't be able to ever sit back up there.
Niki was a wh**e. Shaurya had no times for wh**es. He waited for to run off and cry or do something productive but she did not she just stood there. Like a mute horse. Shaurya walked away and sighed relieved. He would have to make sure to avoid parties attended by her.
The music changed and the lights dimmed.
Shaurya did a double take, as he watched Mehek walk into the hall with his father. She wore a long white ball gown with silver embroidery. She barely had make up on, but every head in the room turned, seeing her there. She was so beautiful that she did not need it. She smiled, at everyone even the people she did not know. Her hair up only a few tendrils were lose framing her face.
He watched as his father asked her to dance. He was enjoying this so much. He had the most beautiful girl in the room on his arms. Smiling and nodding at his every word.
Shaurya placed the glass he had been holding back on the table. Sanjay Aggrawal saw him and made a bee line to him.
"Please Shaurya, let her model for me He said with begging eyes. Shaurya shook his head.
"No He said without an explanation.
He did not have one. He just did not want me...people looking at her.
"Come on Shaurya, please!! I will pay her well, I am sure all those outfits she wears must be costing you heavily, let her gain some independence
"No He repeated. "Look Sajay Mehek is not...
"Mehek is not what? She joined them and held onto his arm, he had not noticed the music had ended and his father was dancing with someone else.
"Your brother wont introduce me, so I will have to. I am Sanjay Aggrawal from SA Textiles He said holding out a hand for her. Mehek gave him her hand and he kissed it, Shaurya glared at him.
"I have already told you no Mr Aggrawal. Please stop further embarrassing yourself and leave her alone. Mehek is not my sister
"But you said she was your step sister?
"She is one of my fathers wives children. She is not my sister Shaurya said, Mehek looked weary and rubbed her temples.
"Please forgive Shaurya, He can be... Mehek said softly.
"Don't worry at all dinner, I am sorry if I offended you Shaurya you that is not my intention, I just thought you would be happy...
"I am not. Shaurya cut in before the idiot mentioned it to Mehek.
Before he could say another word Shaurya deflected and forcefully gathered her against him.
"Don't act all innocent you came to me He told her, Mehek smiled and placed her hands loosely around his neck, while his rested on the small of her back.
"Well what else could I do I wanted to hear what you were saying about me She said smiling.
"Don't worry I was just telling Sanjay not to be fooled by your pretty face and that you are a gold digger underneath it all
"What?
"How else would you by such fine clothes He said forcefully holding her closer than her should.
She looked into his eyes bewildered.
"You have these high walls up, Shaurya they are so high and stubborn that you are never able to see anything the way it truly is and you just believe what you want to She said, her voice broke a little. She pulled away from him and raised her hand to wipe her eyes with the back of her hands.
Why was it when her eyes leaked he felt sick.
She went off to his father's side, and he walked out of there.
If he did not do something soon, too end the feelings he felt for her. He would do something he would later regret.
And failour was not an option.
