MehRya OS: A Beginning....Once Again?

"I'm waiting for you Mahek." Shaurya said on the phone before cutting the call. He smiled to himself looking at the decoration of his bedroom that was ready for D-Night. He was impatiently waiting for Mahek who had gone to Sharma Nivas to collect her belongings and head back to their paradise. Shaurya held their wedding photo and was caressing her cheeks whose redness could be even seen in the picture. Mahek took the blessings of everyone probably for the last time and kept the luggage in the car's boot and sat on the back seat. She waved at the straigh from the window and sat straight on her seat. There were some unknown tears in her eyes but she didn't pay any attention to it and smiled. Shaurya's eagerness has grown more and he was continuously looking at the wall clock shaking his feet. One hour passed. "Itna time toh nahi lagta hai." He frowned looking at the watch. Two hours passed. There was no sign of Mahek. Shaurya grew restless. He dialled her number. "The number you are trying to reach is out of coverage area. Please try after some time." The usual mechanical voice answered. He dialled twice. Thrice. No answer. He grew frustrated and threw the phone on the bed. After a while he received a call from an unknown number. He picked it up. "Hello. Mr. Shaurya Khanna?" The caller asked. "Yeah." Shaurya said and some unknown fear crept over him. "Delhi police here. 9876 is your car?" He further asked. "Yes." Shaurya said. His heart beat at a vigorous speed. "Sorry to inform Mr. Khanna. Your car met with a very bad accident and." He paused. "And what !" Shaurya shouted at the top of his voice. "And the nothing could be saved. It's completely burned. We can't even tell bout the dead bodies." Policeman said removing his cap. His World crashed. Phone slipped out of his hand and he broke down on the floor.

"Shaurya." Karuna said knocking at the door. "Maa. Lemme sleep." Shaurya shouted from inside. "Ah. This boy. Amaira. You just get him for the pooja. He won't say a no to you." Karuna said patting at a beautiful young lady in her mid twenties. "Sure auntie." She said and smiled. "Shaurya." She called. "Go away." Shaurya threw a pillow on the door and put one on his ears. "Come on Shaurya. Don't behave like a kid. Get out." Amaira said. Shaurya made face and got up to open the door and again fell on the bed. She entered inside and saw all the mess. Mahek' pictures and their wedding pictures were scattered all over the ground. She collected them all and kept safely on the night stand and moved towards him to wake him up.

Somewhere in a restaurant a lady was leaning over the newly cooked foods and inhaling the aroma of it. She took one spoonful of it and fed it in her mouth. "Yum." She said with her big eyes. She stood straight and straigtened her chef hat and coat. It read 'Head Chef Bake Brown Caf'. "Chef. An order for your special Volcano cake." Said a waiter. She smiled and nodded her head. She was about to go prepare for it when a strong arms got hold onto it. "What?" She questioned. "It's your Birthday Mahek. Let's celebrate." He said smiling. "Daksh. You know I can't. I'm busy." Mahek said softly. "You know I'll burn down this restaurant one day. Huh." He said angrily crossing his arms on his chest. "Hahahaha. Which idiot burns his own restaurant?" Mahek laughed looking at him. He smiled seeing her laughing and gave her a side hug. "Anything for you." He whispered to himself. Mahek removed her chef coat and smiled. "Aaj Rishikesh dekhte hain." She said smiling widely.
