A DAY MORE TO MEHRYA ENGAGEMENT

 

"Shaurie, Are busy ?" Karuna asked. He was forwarding a joke to Mehek. He knew that Mehek has taken KK's advice and started to open up to him. Last couple of days, there were in constantly in touch. There dinner date was good and next day they went together to her designer to select their engagement attire. They called each other often and texted frequently.  "No, Ma. I was just forwarding something to Mehek" he said.  Karuna could see her son's happiness. She murmured "kisi ki nazar ba lagey tujhe". She brought him the pooja room and gave him a small gift box. Like a school boy, he eagerly opened it to find a set of keys in it. "Ma!!!" he whinned. "No arguments Shaurie. I always told you how it will be once you are married." she said. "But Ma. Can't delay it. After few months, we could have decided on it" Shaurya argued. "May be. However I feel this is the right time." she covered his face " This is my wedding gift for you both. Consider it as my blessing. May god bless you both". " Thanks Ma", he kissed her hands and touched her feet

 

"Mehek, are you free?" Shaurya asked her on phone. Mehek was at beauty parlour. Her hair treatment and facial were done. Just mani - pedi were remaining. "What happened, Shauryaji" Mehek asked". "I wanted to show you something important. It will be great if you could spare half an hour. I will pick you and drop you" he requested. She was unsure. She came with Nehal but she has just gone for her spa treatment. Nehal won't be back for an hour. She could ask staff at parlour to delay her session by 30 minutes. "Please Meheku. Pretty  please" he pleaded. She giggled "OK baba. Ok. Let me see what can I do".

 

She met Shaurya in few minutes. When she sat in his car , she asked the matter. He simply told her that it was a surprise. They came near a posh apartment and took the lift to reach its penthouse.

"Shauruaji, tell me what is this?" she asked impatiently"."Mehek, this is our journey to our new home" he replied. "What?" she couldn't understand

 

The lift door opened and they reached pent house. Shaurya pulled out the keys his mother gifted. He opened the door. She could see a well-furnished beautiful house. Shaurya came near her and said "With your permission". He quickly swept her off the ground and lifted her in his arms like a bride."Shaurya, what are you doing ?". She was surprised but didn't feel even an bit uncomfortable in his arms. She didn't struggle but kept on asking him to put her down. Shaurya was on cloud nine. He loved the way she dropped 'ji' and addressed him as Shaurya."My The bride has come for the first time to her new home. I will be damned if I let you walk past the threshold" he declared.

He looked into her eyes and she shyly hid her face against his neck. Shaurya felt like his heart is going to burst with joy. "Aye dil zara sambhal" he told himself.When they reached the hall, he slowly placed her on the couch and sat beside her. She sighed and looked around.

 

S:"It's our wedding gift from Ma. Ma always told us that after marriage, her sons should live separately. She believed that unless young couple start their life away from shadow of their parents , they will never become independent. Me and Vicky, we always used to argue with her but she was adamant"

M:"Oh Shaurya. It will be so hard on Karuna Ma'am. Will she be able to adjust? Will it be right to move away from her so sudden?"

S: "I don't know, Mehek. Yet I know Ma's nature. There is no point arguing with her. We can pacify ourselves that she stays just 15 minutes away from here. We can visit each other frequently. Besides Vicky will be back soon after his studies. However when he gets married , Ma will push him away too"

She was sad to leave Karuna Ma'am alone. Although she was thrilled to have her own home. A place where she can be herself , where she will have full freedom. Their home, her and Shaurya's. She quickly blushed thinking of her life with Shaurya there.

 

To avoid his questioning gaze, she stood up and said "Let me see the house". She was moving from one room to another . She loved each and every particle of the house. She felt so excited. Finally she came to the balcony and enjoyed the view. Cool breeze was playing with her hair. Shaurya came from behind and asked "Do you like It? " She smiled and nodded. "Mehek, this is your home. You can make any changes you want here. Furniture, curtains , colors of the wall, anything.  All will be as per your wish and will" he said . Mehek turned and placed her hands on his shoulder.  "It's perfect. I can't wait to spend my life with you here"

 

He couldn't believe it. Mehek, the girl he loves unconditionally , she in his arms expressing her desire to spent her life with him. Her proximity made him impulsive. He gazed at her intensely and she felt like losing herself in his eyes. When she made no effort to move away from him, Shaurya slowly lowered his head to meet her lips. She closed her eyes in anticipation, when his lips touched hers. She didn't feel shy, she wasn't uncomfortable but was pleased. Her hands snaked around his neck to pull him closer. He was taking it slowly , savouring each moment. Before he could deepen the kiss, his phone rang and they broke apart.

 

"Ha , Ma. I am on my way. Will be there soon. See you" he said in one breath. It gave Mehek , enough time to compose herself. When he was near her , she blurted " I think we should leave now". He nodded. They quickly locked the house and left for the parking area.

 

They were driving back. The silence was killing them. He said , "It was Ma. She is waiting at the jewelry shop. We had decided to choose the ring today" . "Oh great. That's wonderful" she said. "Yeah. It is , isnt't it ?" he knew they made no sense. He didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy that he got that call. Albeit few more moments with Mehek ,  he was sure he would have ravished his bride today in their new home. Once they reached her parlour, she quickly said bye to him and ran inside. She was relieved to know that Nehal was still in spa. She asked staffs to do her mani-pedi. " Can you please get me glass of water ? And please adjust the AC temperature, I am feeling very warm" she asked the staff. She drank whole glass in one gulp.

 

Mehek couldn't comprehend her behaviour. She behaved like a teenager. She should have stopped him and told him to wait till they are husband  & wife. Bloody hell!! She allowed herself to be carried away by emotions. She wondered what Shaurya might be thinking about her now. Will he think low about her? No, No. He is a gentleman. She remembered his behaviour to avoid any embarrassment. Shaurya is going to be her husband soon. She should be more alert and learn to handle herself in his presence.  Still when she thought about their first kiss, her cheeks were red and a sweet smile came on her face.

 

Shaurya was driving. His was chilled now and recalled their kiss. He checked the rearview mirror to ensure that no residue of Mehek's soft lips were smeared on his face. He smiled remembering Mehek's reaction to his touch. She didn't resist. She kissed him back. She didn't lecture in typical high class tone that it was wrong . At that moment , he felt she was different. She wasn't the cold Mehek he usually saw but warm & passionate. He turned on the radio and it played "Best day of my Life" by American Authors. He couldn't  help but sing along with it.

PRECAP : Mehrya Engagement.
