A new fanfiction?
From Anya?
Oh dear...
Anya is thinking a 5 shot or 4 not sure.
Will see how it goes...
Summary: The daughter of famous chef Meera Sharma, free spirted Mehek Sharma, runs away from her wedding to influential boring business man Shaurya Khanna.
And one month later, falls in love with Sandeep Singhania. This should entail a happily ever after, right?
Wrong. Shaurya Khanna comes back into her life and he is no longer the boring busy distant business man she remembered.
He wants revenge.
And he will stop at nothing. Until he gets it.
Runaway bride
Prelude.
Mehek's palms were sweaty as she watched the mehendi artist write Shaurya's name on her hands.
"I was worried about you Mehek Her mother said touching her cheek. Mehek looked up at her and grimaced. She had barely had a chance to even breath with how fast Shaurya was pushing for the wedding, since she had come home from boarding. She was so tired of forcing a smile onto her face she had given up.
"Why? Mehek asked her, with a raised eyebrow unable to hide the anger in her voice.
"Why are you suddenly worried, why were you not worried when I refused this proposal and you agreed to it against my will
Her mother frowned and looked away.
"I thought we agreed to this
She had not. Nor would she ever. A loveless marriage was something she wanted no part of. Especially with him.
She barely knew him. They had met once 4 years ago at some party and had not even spoken to each other. And all of a sudden, she had been engaged and forced to go to an all-girls boarding.
She knew what he looked like thanks to the internet but there nothing other than a few pictures of him frowning. And articles about how he never took holidays, and spent most of his time working. Mehek could barely keep on a diet for one week without falling off the wagon, how could she marry a schedule.
She wanted a different life, she dreamed of a different one. Where she fell in love. And lived a happily ever after like all, of those princesses she read about.
"I never agreed She had not, they had not had a formal engagement even as mr business man had needed to go overseas at the time, his mother had given her a fancy ring which she had never worn. And left untouched in her mother's safe.
"You have to marry Shaurya Mehek, your father has given our word, this is about our family's honour. Our pride, it all rests in your hands
"That all doesn't mean anything, when you are not happy. Happiness is the most important thing mom, not reputation, and honour...
"Things have come to far now. There is no going back
Mehek remained quiet.
She had planned, her escape for years. She had initially wanted to do it after she came home from boarding but when she arrived the planning had already begun in full swing.
"Every newspaper in the entire country has printed the news Mehek, Shaurya is a good boy I know one when I see one, your grandmother filled your head with all this nonsense about true love and what not. So you don't see what we see, you two will make a perfect couple. You are so incredibly free spirted and Shaurya is so grounded he will balance you Her mother said, her mother had never liked how close she had been with PD growing up. Because they had not liked the fact that PD had never married, in fact refused to after the love of her life had married someone else. Mehek, had always wanted a love like PD's. She did not want a relationship like her parents, they were well just civil with each other. Did they not see how their arranged marriage had worked out? Why did they want to force her into one?
PD had always told her to listen to her heart and she would never go wrong. She was going wrong. Her heart was screaming run before you end up married. A life without love was hard but a life with someone else also without love was even harder.
She was doing him a favour. He would acknowledge it one day and maybe thank her.
Her mother grew distracted with one of the guests and Mehek's childhood best friend Sonal settled besides her, she was eating some kheer in a bowel.
"God Meera aunty makes the best food in the world She said happily, taking another bite.
"Sharam karo, I am starving here Mehek said giving a pointed look to her mehndi.
"Oh, shit yaar I forgot, want a bite Mehek shook her head.
"No thank you She said, smiling a little.
"You were making your face like the female devdas before. I have no idea why you are so upset, you are going to marry Shaurya Khanna, your grandchildren's grandchildren will be rich Mehek cringed at her statement.
"Does everything have to be about money? She asked her, Sonal shook her head.
"No, but money is important Mehek
"I want to be happy and fall in love. Live life without this damn axe over my head called marriage. Do you know what it has been like these past 4 years as that mans fianc. Pure torture, all my teachers and wardens at school kept closer attention to me than other students. I never could skip or even go on a date...
"Mehek, I have seen the presents he sent you for your birthday, yaar come on he does feel something for you
"He does not know me, he cannot feel anything for me, and sending me, deeds and titles to properties and restaurants is not romantic, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I am telling you after we get married all will go back in his name. and he won't even buy me a watch...
"Gosh, you are marrying him soon...
"I am going to run away
"Mehek no, think about your family
"My mother cares more about how well her new cook book is doing than me, she barely spoke to me these past 4 years, she would only phone when my results came out and ask me if I passed or not
"What about Shaurya, imagine how he will feel you should speak to him before it maybe he will help you
"I have never spoken to him once, I have tried Sonal, I tried so many times. But he is always busy in a meeting, he will probably only show up on the wedding day
"Mehek really think about everything. Before you take any step
"Look nothing will happen, he will probably move on and find some other woman to marry.
"This is crazy, you have his name mehendi on your hands, tomorrow is your haldi
"He is not even here, Sonal at his own wedding.
"I don't have a good feeling about this
"You never have a good feeling about anything Sonu Mehek told her, Sonal got up and looked away.
"Remember what I said She wanted her to rethink things. What was there to rethink? Nothing really.
She would leave. As soon as she saw an opening. She would leave.
{}{}{}
Mehek shifted uncomfortably as more gifts arrived and filled her room. She sat on her bed in a long cotton white gypsy dress. Her long brown hair fell down her shoulders, as she sat on her bed in a ball.
Her mother entered her room and looked at the gifts with a small smile on her face.
"Shaurya has sent you a whole new wardrobe, for your honeymoon sweet isn't it She said going to one of the bags and picking up one of the items.
Honeymoon. Mehek frowned. Since when was there a honeymoon. Mr Important business man took no holidays.
"He also sent you some jewellery from one of his stores
Again, why was there such a need to show her how rich he was.
"We should put these in your bags Mehek had packed her bags, but now all, of her clothing would be replaced with these new clothes. She watched silently as her mother packed.
{}{}{}
The night before the wedding.
Mehek had repacked her bags, leaving all of her newly gifted clothing behind and a note asking her mother to return all of those properties Shaurya had bought her back to him.
She told them she would be fine and not to look for her.
She felt queasy the entire way to the airport.
This was it the end of her life pleasing her parents and the start of her own life on her own terms.
