This part is dedicated to my motivation Anu who wants this for so long and asking me to update this one so my dear Anu here is update for you😆
Shaurya was standing near the window waiting for his friend when he got a call from St. Philips School. It was from the principal.
"Hello Shaurya Khanna here..."
"Good Evening Mr. Khanna...hope you have reached Mumbai..."
"Yes Mrs. Khurrana...I am in Mumbai now..."
"That's great...Mr. Khanna I am really sorry!!"
"What happened Mrs. Khurrana?? Why are you sorry??"
"Actually the function we are going to organize in our school is not day after tomorrow...it postphoned and now it will held after one week because our one team is away for a competition so we can't held that day after tomorrow..."
"It's okay Mrs. Khurrana...I am perfectly fine here for next one week..."
"That's so great of you...thank you so much..."
"Don't be thankful Mrs. Khurrana...in fact I should thank you...because now I get some reason to stay here for some more time..."
"I didn't understood..."
"Actually Mumbai is a special place for me..."
"Oh it's special for a no. of persons..."
"Yeah...Good evening..."
"Good Evening..."
As he disconnect the call his mind was filled with her memories and a fresh tear made its way from his eye.
"Shaurya are you crying??"
He turned and found Mehak standing in front of him in the same dress in which he saw her that night when she left him. He quickly wiped his tear and hugged her.
"I am not crying Mehak...but where were you and why you left me?? You don't know how much I missed you..."
Mehak too was in tears and hugging him tightly as if she won't let him go anywhere. He showered her face with kisses. He cupped her face so close to his.
"You don't know Mehak how I lived without you...I was just like a living dead body without you...after you left I want to die but was living in hope that some day I will meet you and see today is the day...where were you Mehak??"
"I was here for last 6 years..."
She points her finger on his heart and wiped his tears. He kissed her hands and hugged her again.
"I never left you Shaurya...I could never left even if I want...but that night you accused me of carring someone else' child and I broke down..."
"Where is our child Mehak??"
"Which child?? That was not our child Shaurya...that was someone else' na so why are you asking about that child?? (Moving back) You said na that the child I was carring is not yours then why are you asking about him now??"
"Mehak listen to me please..."
She showed him her palm indicating him not to speak further and was moving back.
"I don't want any explanation Shaurya...I am dead for you..."
"Mehak please come back to me...don't do anything..."
His fear rosed when she reached near the window. He tried to stop her but she didn't let him come near her.
"Don't even try to come near me Shaurya...I will jump from here and die..."
"Mehak I will die without you...please don't do that...I am sorry for that...I will explain you everything but don't leave me..."
He was in tears and fell on his knees helplessly while Mehak didn't even felt mercy on that poor soul and jumped from the window.
"MEHAAAKKK..."
He was sitting near window and was bending down as if he is catching someone. His eyes were filled with fresh tears while his face was already covered with tears. He realised that it was his dream. He washed his face and wiped from towel. He sat on the couch gazing at their pic and recalling their happy moments.
"Shaurya...Shaurya..."
He heard voice of Pulkit and took their photo on table. Pulkit came and hugged him as they both met after 7-8 years. Pulkit and Shaurya were college friends and met last time in Shaurya's wedding. After that Pulkit moved to Mumbai with his wife and family. Shaurya asked him for any refreshment to which he denied and asked what had happed b/w him and Mehak. He told him everything and tears came from his eyes.
"Shaurya...you promised her that you will share everything with her then why you hide this thing??"
"She would have killed my Mehak and it's better to see her fine after parting from me than losing her for forever...I can't lose her..."
"You still lost her..."
"No Pulkit she is alive and would be happy with our child...may be she had moved on..."
'She can't move on Shaurya because you are her life till now and she is not happy...'
"Shaurya...you need to search her..."
"I want to search her but she said that if I ever loved her than don't search for her..."
"Would she be happy??"
"I don't know may be no because I know my Mehak I am her everything but I betrayed her..."
"You never betrayed him Shaurya...it was that Archie who made you do so..."
"But..."
"Shaurya...you know what whenever I look at you both only one thing came in my mind and that is YOU BOTH BELONG TO EACH OTHER...please for your child go and search for her..."
"Pulkit...she always used to say that god made us met...I know it would be god who would made us reunite again..."
Pulkit saw a broken Shaurya for the first time. The Shaurya he knew was someone who never sit quietly and never leave his any work on god but he could understand his pain not fully but a little pain could be understood by everyone. He knew that Mehak is his soul and the body doesn't have any value once the soul leaves the body.
"You are not the Shaurya I know..."
"I know because that Shaurya died 6 years ago..."
Pulkit can't say anything and just patted on his back before leaving. He decided to make Mehak and Shaurya face each other. He knew about Mehak. He knew each and everything about her as he is close friend of Vicky too so he used to visit him frequently. He intentionally called him because he want to know everything. He was adamant that Shaurya loves Mehak a lot and he won't ever let Mehak leave him for 6 seconds and here they both parted before 6 years. Now he was sure that only one person could help him and it's none other than Riya.
Mehak was feeling relaxed after spending some time with Riya. It was almost night and Mehak started preparing for dinner along with Nehal. She went to the store room to take some grocries while Riya had just completed her homework when Pulkit came in disguise of a bear. Mahi who was going to Nehal saw him and screamed making Riya and everyone came there.
"Mamma...mamma here is a bear..."
"Mahi di he is not bear he is..."
Riya went towards Pulkit and removed his cape. Mahi relieved while Pulkit pouted and picked her in his arms.
"Chachu you know how bad actor you are...I could even do better than you..."
Riya looked down and pushed her hairs with her finger and lifted her head. Pulkit tickled her and she giggled. Nehal and Mehak shaked their head to see uncle niece's nautanki. Pulkit put her down.
"What to do meri jaan...your papa never taught me what is acting..."
Pulkit made a sad face while Riya's face lit up. Mehak left on the mention of Shaurya. Mahi was giving a death glare to both of them as they were ignoring her.
"Do anyone remember me??"
"Chachu...this voice is too much similar..."
"Budhhu it's Mahi di's voice...come Mahi bachha give chachu a hug..."
Mahi ran and hugged Pulkit as he sat on his knees. Riya pulled both of them and made him sit on sofa.
"Pulkit chachu...I want to know about my dadda...please tell me!!"
"Okay okay but first promise me you will help me some task..."
"Pakka promise chachu...and yeah please show me his photo..."
Pulkit was about to show Shaurya's photo to Riya when Mehak gestured him not to do this. Pulkit asked her why then she just shaked her head in no.
"Well Chinu I don't have his photo..."
"What!! It's okay tell me how he was and his nautankis..."
"You know sweetu you are just like your dadda..."
"I know this thing chachu...many time mamma told me that I am zerox copy of my loveliest dadda..."
"What more your told you..."
"Many things...but right now I want to know their love story..."
Pulkit and Mehak's mouth turned in O shape as she demanded to hear their love story. Both looked at each other.
"Bhabhi no doubt she is zerox copy of Shau..."
"Pulkit she is 2nd copy of him..."
Pulkit was confused as she didn't let him even take his name but he brushed all aside and loked at Riya.
"You are too small to know about their love story..."
"Fine don't tell me...and don't even talk to me..."
Their eyes widen and Mehak came and sat beside her trying to make her understand but she was making faces. Pulkit too tried but in vain. Mahi who was looking at their drama stood in front of Mehak and Pulkit while crossing her arms.
"You both made my Chinu sad...now fulfill her demands..."
"These two girls will someday make me mad..."
"No chachu...you are already mad in Yami chachi's love..."
"Chinu...what are saying bachhe...what happened to your manners??"
"Mamma I am perfectly fine but this is truth..."
Pulkit was supressing her laughter could no longer supress and laughed on her dialogues. Chinu and Mahi too giggled while Mehak was in awe. Nehal too came downstairs after arranging the bed of Chinu and Mahi.
"What happened di?? Why these chacha bhateji laughing this much??"
"Nehal these both girls are just like their fathers Vicky and him..."
Pulkit and both girls put hands on their mouth to stop their laughter. Nehal was confused then Mehak explained her everything. She too smiled while Mehak was not even smiling.
"What the hell Nehal you too are laughing..."
"Di I swear they both are not at fault because their fathers are just like that and when Vicky he are not around him then they both continue their business of leg pulling..."
Nehal spread her arms for the girls and ran to her. Pulkit too supported Nehal.
"Yeah Mehak Bhabhi they both never let me feel the absence of my 2 best friends..."
Mehak just shaked her head and smiled a little. Riya showed her tongue.
"See mamma everyone is my team..."
Mehak smiled broadly and pulled her cheeks as she ran to her and hugged her. Mehak kissed her crown.
'I am living for you Chinu...your papa had killed me long back...you are my lifeline and I am happy in your happiness...'
"Nehal bhabhi and Mehak bhabhi...I am going to give you a very good news and that is..."
"What is the good news chachu??"
Riya and Mahi both cling to Pulkit asking the good news. He smiled and put them both on his lap.
"Yami chachi invited you all for dinner day after tomorrow that is..."
"My birthday right chachu??"
"Yes my queen it's your birthday day after tomorrow and for that Yami chachi had invited you all..."
Riya hugged Pulkit and Mehak smiled seeing Riya happy. Nehal too felt good for her.
"Chachu I m also here..."
"Then who told you Mahi di to stay away from our hug...come and join in group hug..."
"But Pulkit I have invited Sonal and her family on Chinu's birthday..."
"It's okay bhabhi...Sonal is Yami's sister na so she had invited her too..."
"Oh yeah I totally forgotten that..."
Mahi too joined their hug. Suddenly something striked Riya's mind and she broke the hug.
"Chachu...you know today I met someone..."
"Whom you met Chinu??"
Riya excitedly told him everything and her happiness was visible from her eyes. Pulkit felt as if she met Shaurya from what she was defining. He thought to show her his pic and then confirm.
"Bhabhiyon...your devar is hungry...give me something delicious to eat please..."
Nehal and Mehak get up to prepare dinner and leaving both girls with their chachu. Pulkit used this oppurtunity and showed Shaurya's pic to her. She was overwhelmed to see her Superhero and told him that he is the one she met. She was about to run to Mehak and show her his pic but Pulkit stopped.
"Chinu I asked for your help na??"
"Yeah you asked...now tell what could I do to help you..."
"Do me a favour and that is don't tell your mamma now that he is your superhero...I have a plan to tell your mamma about him...okay??"
Riya thought for a while and then agreed but that too on the demand of chocolate box. He chuckled and agreed. Mahira too promised him that she too won't tell Mehak about this and trio have hi fives.
