Mahek stood their for few minutes trying to understand what just happened between them , she was on the verge of tears but she gathered herself and came to the conclusion that he was playing mind games with her , but she decided she wont let him do that ...I wanted to win this competition but for that I won't let him allow to play with my dignity ...she managed to walk till cupboard and started packing her bag and kept rumbling... Shaurya came inside listening to noise , What are you doing?? He questioned when he saw her packing the bags , Iam doing the same what you wanted...you have won Mr. Khanna congratulations...she mocked him while closing the zip of the bag , Shaurya came near her and blocked her way ...You aren't going anywhere ,he ordered...She pushed him away and tried to leave but he holded her hand ...I said you aren't going anywhere unless you win this competition...he declared, she stared directly in his eyes..and do you think iam a fool to believe you that you will let me win so easily...I know very well what's running in your mind .she blamed him again, what's running on my mind ? He questioned her narrowing his eyes, she didn't answered anything...stop stressing your mind Miss Sharma he said while taking away bag from her hand...she tried to resist but he pulled her bag and kept it inside the cupboard, mahek was stunned when he suddenly picked her up in his arms...what are you doing?? She questioned, he took her towards the bed and laid her on the bed and warned her that she won't be going anywhere...when he was moving away his shirt button got stucked in her hairs..she tried to pull away but it was hurting her...he gestured her stop and than he opened the button of his shirt to free her hairs ..they stared at each other for few minutes without blinking their eyes ...his eyes fell on her plumpy lips and he remembered the kiss they shared sometime back...he wanted to taste her juicy lips again , lost in his thoughts he bended more on her , there was hardly any distance between them... mahek's heart missed a beat when she saw where his eyes were aimed...she realised if she didn't stop him than they will end up sharing their second kiss...she used her palms and kept near his face and turned her face away... her sudden touch made him realized what he was about to do...If you really want me to stay in this competition than you won't stay in this room...mahek said while turning face towards him...but what if you need some help ?? He questioned , I will manage, and when we are in public. you will atleast keep a 50 meters distance from me ?.she replied...he looked at her in disbelief and than Suddenly had a smile on his face and he went near her again..and how much distance I have to maintain when we are alone ?? He whispered in her ears ..she gulped down and brought a cushion in between them...he laughed sheepishly... theek hai but even I have one condition you won't close this connecting door incase of emergency ..he declared , mahek took some time to decide and than she agreed for it ... Shaurya thoght she agreed so easily than definitely she has plan for something...but still he got up from her bed and went towards his room...They had dinner in their rooms ...

Shaurya tried hard to sleep..but sleep was far away from his eyes ..he had knocked on the door few times and checked if she needed anything..mahek got irritated and she took a pillow and kept on her ears...shaurya thought she had slept and he silently sneaked in to the room and settled on couch. ..mahek couldn't notice as the room lights were dim..Later in the night mahek was waiting for the moment if Shaurya fells asleep than she will leave Agra and go back to Delhi...when heard a knock on the door when she was trying to sleep...when mahek didn't heard any noise from him she thought he must have slept and she silently went towards wardrobe and started packing her bag...she got startled when the room lights suddenly switched on and her heart was in her mouth when she saw Shaurya standing near her...what were you doing?? He questioned ... that's not important first tell me what you are doing in the room ...?? I knew you will be doing this stupidity that's the reason I was keeping an eye on you...he replied...I can't believe this you were sleeping in the room ?? She questioned..why are you so surprised..if you have forgot than let me remind you iam staying in your room since 2 days ...he replied , so what ?? Will I get some privacy here for myself or not ?? She asked irritatingly...No you aren't going to get he said and picked her up and took her back to bed...he pulled out her duppata and she shouted loudly...have you gone mad ?? What you are doing...yes I have gone mad ...he took her hand and tied one end with it another end of duppata on his hand ... Ab chup chap so jao...I don't trust you you can try to run away again...I can't sleep like this , she resisted ..you don't have any choice now ...he told her ..Achaa iam sorry I did a mistake but I won't go anywhere now , you can go back to your room and sleep comfortably, she tried to convince him...I can't trust you now Mahek Sharma ...he took a chair and kept beside bed and tried to sleep...Mahek just kept staring at him for few minutes thinking he must be joking and will leave room after sometime but after few minutes she could hear his snores ...she was uncomfortable to sleep like that but she didn't had any choice after struggling for sometime she too dozed off ..

For the next few days he kept taking care of her , even though she was feeling well Shaurya was still concerned for her and made some or the other excuses to stay back with her..At nights they used to wake till late nights discussing about different techniques of cooking...and different cusinies .. and in the daytime contestants and judges used to be busy with interviews ,photo shoots and press conferences before the final round ...Mahek was surprised when Shaurya answered to one of the question of a reporter who asked ,whom among the 3 contestants you think are more capable to win the contest?? Without thinking anything he took her name ...Mahek gives her best in tough situations...he said looking at her and she for the first time she felt that it was a genuine compliment...she wasn't scared of him anymore .. and she started to trust him slowly.

One day before the final round hotel management held a party and had invited all the guests of the hotel...they felt lucky as their hotel was decided the venue to host ISC final round...even media people were invited , Shaurya and Rajeev were busy with the reporters but shaurya's whole concentration was on mahek who was talking to some random guy from the party who had approached her...he couldn't see the man's face but Mahek was looking uncomfortable when he wasn't ready to leave her hand...he excused himself and went towards them... please don't break my heart by saying no ...iam your big fan and I really like you , iam just asking for a dance ... nothing more than that... Shaurya heard him saying from distance...Mahek tried to pull her hand away by politely saying him No ..as the whole media was around she didn't wanted to make a big issue...but the man wasn't ready to hear a NO from her..he pulled mahek towards the dance floor... Shaurya couldn't control himself...he just pulled the man away from mahek and slapped him hardly, later he came to know that he was the manager of hotel... reporters just surrounded them and started questioning them ...Mahek felt embarrassed to stand there ...she hided her tears and ran away towards her room.. Shaurya called the hotel owner and asked him to immediately take action on his employee who was trying to misbehave with one of the contestant. . owner assured that action will be taken against him...later Shaurya went to his room and tried talking to mahek but she wasn't ready to listen anything ...he kept on knocking...Mahek please once listen to me he kept on requesting... Mahek knew he won't move away from the place unless she listens to him...She opened the the door and said you have 5 minutes Mr.Khanna just tell me whatever you wanted to tell...I don't think 5 minutes will be sufficient...can I come inside...?? He said and made a way for himself inside her room...Look Shaurya already you have created a huge drama in the party now don't make any scene here. ..she said him angrily...ohh really so what were you expecting from me ?? He was misbehaving with you and I should have watched calmly from a distance...?? He lost his calm and questioned...I was handling him in my may what was the need for you to interfere ?? Who do think you are ?? Are you my guardian...mahek questioned him back...ohhh I could see how you was trying to handle the situation...you weren't even able to free your hand from him ...if I wouldn't have come there than you would even ended up dancing with him...he mocked her .. mahek took few steps near to him...so what would have happened if I danced with him for few minutes?? Aapko kya farq padjata ...she wanted to knew the answer... Shaurya has lost his cool just imagining her dancing with him...he wanted to tell her that it would have effected him badly. .but he controlled himself...he just raised his hands...mahek look iam not here to argue with you ...iam just here to say you sorry for what ever happened...not for just today but for the time since we met...and tomorrow is your important day , I want you to forget all the things and focus on the competition...I want you to win this competition mahek ...he said cupping her face...Iam still not able to understand how you changed suddenly...and I really want to know the reason...Mahek asked him...Mahek let this competition end , I will tell you everything and I had planned something really special for you...so just wait for tomorrow...I don't know if I will be able to hold myself till competition ends...but you will get all your answers tomorrow...he assured her...
