*Flashback continues*...
Shaurya... asked Mehek nervously. Shaurya raised one eyebrow and then replied, Do you want to say something, chashmish?? said Shaurya looking in Mehek's deep brown eyes who had removed her glasses. Woh... main..., and before Mehek could say anything further, someone hugged Shaurya from behind leaving him startled. Hi baby... came a sweet voice from the back, I missed you, couldn't you call or message me??
Oh, Shruti, it's you... maine call kerna tha lekin I was too busy with classes... ek minute... chashmish tum kuch keh rahi thi... something important? Nehi, woh I was saying... that... we should finish our discussion about the chapter we were assigned, said Mehek, who was on the urge of crying but somehow controlled it. Actually about the chapter... umm, I didn't read it, guiltily replied Shaurya. Are you seriously kidding me?? hum yahan masti kerne ke liye nehi baithe hai, agar tumne chapter pada hi nehi toh mera time kyu waste ker rahe ho, grow up Shaurya, angrily responded Mehek. Chill yaar, Mehek I'm sorry I... Oh give it a rest, Shaurya, save your excuses for your girlfriend said an irritated Mehek who stood up and walked away. She bumped into Vicky who saw Mehek's tear shredded face and asked... Mehek are you okay?? Vicky I'm fine, said Mehek while looking back at Shaurya and Shruti who were laughing together. Kuch toh hua hai, warna jitna main Mehek ko jaanta hu woh kabhi udas nehi hoti... thought Vicky in his head while following Mehek's eyes towards Shaurya and Shruti. Vicky had known Mehek for quite sometime because they were together in almost every class. Mehek who had walked up to her professor, said, Sir I have completed my discussion... and Shaurya, well he is as you can see... too busy to finish, Mehek responded while rolling her eyes. It's okay, Mehek we all know how Shaurya is, but at least you finished so good job and I'm proud of you as you always finish your assignments on time.
*Bell rings*
Mehek, chale, asked Sonal. Mehek nodded approvingly and she leaves. What was that? said a confused Shaurya after a while. It's okay baby.. let's go home because well aaj ke liye tumhari classes khatam ho gayi hai, replied Shruti. That was weird but ya chalo and they walked away hand in hand.
Mehek... baby kya hua, why so glump? asked a worried Sonal. Kuch nehi... acha guess what, I finished my assignment and Mr. Shah said I did a good job on it. Chal ab ghar chale, aaj ke liye itna hi kafi hai said Mehek while wiping her tears off her cheeks. Shaurya who was walking with Shruti saw Mehek and thought Maine aisa kya kar diya ke yeh mujhse itna gussa ho gayi, isne mujhse kya baat kerni thi aur Shruti ko dekh ke chup kyu hogayi... whatever, mujhe kya lena??
Mehek reaches home and says to herself, Koi baat nehi, Mehek, koi baat nehi. Woh Shaurya Khanna hai, uspe konsi ladki nehi marti... but I will wait for him for as long as it takes, ab pyaar kiya hai toh daar kis baat ka
*FLASHBACK ends*.. after 6 years
Chal Mehek, job interview hai aaj, kitne time ke baad interviews de rahi hai tu, I hope everything goes well, said Mehek in her head while yawning. Mehek has transformed into a girl who had a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Her waist was tapered and she had a fair complexion. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on her sweeping eyelashes. A dazzling smile which could light up the whole world. She had black hair with warm brown highlights. She had enticing, deep brown eyes. Mehek now started wearing contacts making her eyes look even more beautiful. She had round-shaped lips, a bouncy personality and a sugary voice.
Her room, on the other hand, was decorated with the posters of the one and only Shaurya Khanna, the best chef and biggest celebrity in all of India and newspaper cutouts of his restaurant "White Chillies" aaj main yahan job leker rahugi, said Mehek to herself. She had pictures of her whole family right in front of her bed, Mujhe aap sab ki bahut yaad aati hai, lekin kya karu. She picks up her phone and calls up her aunt, Chachi... kaise ho? said Mehek with a braking voice. Main theek hu bache, tu kaisi hai, khane pene ka khayal rakh rahi hai na, dekh kitni patli ho gayi hai?... everyone in her family was in the video call. Kaisi hai meri ladoo, said her PD (par dadi). Main theek hu, par PD aap sab ki bahut yaad aa rahi hai, replied Mehek. Aa jao na phir di, said her cousins, Mohit and Nehal. Mann toh mera bhi hai, but kya karu. Mujhe pata hai mai iss position pe kaise ponchi hu, explained Mehek, yeh job mere liye bahut important hai. Tu aur teri obsession, Shaurya Khanna... hmph, said Nehal while walking away. Pata hai baby how you reached this position in life, replied Sonal. SONAL!! kaisi hai meri jaan, oh god, I missed you, excitedly exclaimed Mehek. Bol bol aur jhoot bol, mujhe pata hai tu mujhe miss nehi kerti, bahut badi ho gayi hai na tu, best friend ko bhul gayi, said Sonal jokingly. Acha meri maa, I'm sorry, replied Mehek while holding her ears. Chal mai chalti hu interview ke liye jaana hai, bye everyone I love you all and wish me luck. Good luck, Mehek, said everyone in sync.
Mehek dressed up in formals, looking even more gorgeous... In the background the song Enni Soni plays while she twirls near his pictures lip-syncing to the song with her perfectly defined lips
Enna sona kyun
Lagge tu mainu
Main teri ho gayi
Hoja mera tu
Aayi hoon duniya mein
Ek tere hi vaaste
Manzilein ek hain
Aur ek hi raaste
Oh, how I wish I could have you near and close to me... and how I could tell you what I couldn't say to you during our college time, par koi baat nehi, tab nehi toh ab sahi, aa rahi hu main tumhe finally aapna banane, said Mehek sweetly while gently stroking one of his pictures with her soft and warm hands.
Precap...
Hi, my name is Mehek and I'm here to apply for the position of a head chef, tayar ho ja Mehek, ajj yeh job tujhe kisi bhi halat main leni hogi... murmured a stressed out Mehek.
