Badly Arranged

Chapter 5

"I am sorry for everything. Sorry for being so rude to you." Mehak leaned over to drop a kiss on her head. "Sana, it's not your fault. Kisi ki bhi fault nahi hai, bas situation hee aisi thi. Ab to sab sorted hai na, so don't be sorry." Mehak caressed her head lovingly. Looking at the history of their relationship, she had never imagined in her life that Sana and she would share this kind of relationship. Sana was a junior female version of Shaurya Khanna, no one dared messing with her. You could be killed for messing with her. She could never forget her first encounter with Sana, it had her freaked out for days. "Sana!! Your friends have come! They are waiting downstairs." They heard Anjali call for Sana. "Alright babes, I am going out with my friends. I will be back soon, but you think about it, okay." Sana rushed out of the room, while Mehak was left alone to fight with her innerself once again. It was about a year since she had stepped into Shaurya Khanna's world but the reason why she was made to be a part of his life was still their, the problems, the danger were still intact. Nothing had been resolved, they were still fighting with the fear of losing their loved ones. Instead it had become even worse and complicated. But she had promised herself to never let anyone harm her family. She would protect them with all her might, no matter what. Once upon a time she had a dream of becoming a succesful chef and of having a little family of her own. To some extent her dream of having a family had come true but in a way that no one had imagined. "Why did this happento me?! I should have never agreed to become a part of this. One day everything might go back to normal, like old times. But will I be able to get back to my oldself?" A silent tear rolled down her eyes. She could feel herself falling apart, bit by bit she was shattering into many pieces. Pieces that no one would be able to get back together. She remembered how baffled she was upon knowing why Shaurya Khanna had brought her to his mansion.

It had been days since Mehak had entered Khanna Mansion as Shaurya Khanna's wife. There were lots of things going on around the mansion. Things that no one was aware about and Mehak Sharma was about to come to know about. Something that would knock the ground beneath her feet and would change her life even further. Walking down the long corridors of the mansion Mehak finally reached her room and peeked around the door as she could hear her so called husband talk to someone on the phone. Though she had come to talk to him, but upon realizing that he was having an argument with someone, she decided to leave the room and explore the huge mansion she was living in. Fascinated by the interior she walked through each and every room. The mansion was build up in french architecture, highly royal and expensive something she had only seen in movies. Each and every corridor had beautiful paintings lined up on the walls.  While looking around at the paintings a noise coming from the end of the corridor took her attention. Taking small steps she walked up towards the end and shook her head thinking it to be her hallucination. She had walked pass this room umptheen of times and it had always left her with a curiosity, a strange kind of vibe. Once she had tried to get into the room but to her disappointement she would find it always locked. She turned around to leave, a few seconds later, again she heard something fall at the other end of the room. She walked a little bit closer to the room and silently turned the knob of the door, to her surprise it was unlocked. "Chorr?!! Khanna mansion mein chorr?!" She wishpered to herself. She was aware of the installed CCTV camera's in the mansion, she knew the person inside wouldn't be able to do anything. Normal people would get panicked but Mehak Sharma was ultra rare. After having lived alone for so many years there was nothing that could scare her. The mansion had a very high security system that's why she decided to tackle the intruder herself. All alert of the surroundings she sneaked into the room in search of the intruder. She found herself in an empty room with dimmed lights all around. The room was quite disheveled and had an old look, very different from the other rooms. It was dustfilled and every corner of the room was surrounded by spiderwebs as if it had not been dusted for years. Her eyes scanned the entire room and to surprise she found herself surrounded by pictures, 4 walls and there was no empty place. Right in the centre there was a huge picture on the wall, seemed like some family portrait. Mehak took a piece of cloth from the floor and decided to take a look at the portrait. She raised onto her tiptoes and reached to brush the dust away. "AAH!!" She screamed in shock when she felt herself being dragged out of the room. "Bloody hell!! Mehak Sharma what are you doing overhere?! Kitni baar kaha hai mind your own business!" She heard Shaurya whisper loudly. "Mr Khanna, there is an intruder in the house! I heard a noise coming from that room, this the same room right, the one that usually is always locked? I am telling you Mr Khanna let's call the security. Sabki jaan ko khatra hai!" Said a worried Mehak.
"Jiski jaan ko abhi sabse ziada khatra hai na woh tum ho Ms Sharma! Chalo yahan se or I won't spare you." He took her by her arm while Mehak wouldn't budge and froze outside the room not wanting to move. "Tumhari problem kya hai Mehak Sharma, tum kabhi apne kaam se kaam  nahi rakh sakti? I have told you so many times, jis kaam ke liye yahan per layi gayi ho na us kaam per focus karo. No need to get into my personal matters." Shaurya glared at Mehak. "Excuse me?! Aapki problem kya hai Mr Khanna! Bhalai ka to zamana hee nahi raha! Mein keh rahi houn na ke ghar mein chorr ghuss gaya hai." She shouted back in frustration. "Sabse bari chorr to tum ho, aatey hee mere ghar per aur mere gharwaloun per apna kabza jama liya. You..." he said pointing his finger at her. "Tum dono phirse shuru ho gaye. You guys are impossible, ek din bhi aisa guzra hai jab tum dono ne ek dusre pyaar se baat ki ho." Mehak and Shaurya turned their backs towards each other in irritation upon hearing Kabir coming their way. "Pyaar aur isse, NO WAY!!" They said in unison. "Kabir there is an intruder inside that room! And this man overhere just won't believe me!"  Spoke Mehak pointing towards the room. Kabir's eyes shifted to the room and then shifted back to look at Shaurya. Shaurya shook his hrad quietly and signaled Kabir to divert Mehak's attention. "I will call up security they will check on it, but for now you have to come with me. We need to talk." Kabir assured Shaurya with his eyes to take care of Mehak and took her downstairs to Shaurya's personal conference area. Seeing them both vanish at the far end Shaurya rushed inside the room.
