Sonal was running around, ensuring all arrangements are done perfectly. She had entrusted their one year old baby boy in Sandeep's care with strict warning that she shall not be disturbed while taking care of Mehek's wedding reception. Ajay stayed beside Sonal like her trusted lieutenant. He was adamant to give Mehek the perfect wedding.
Although there is no different sides amidst Shaurya & Mehek, when a wedding occurs there is always groom's side and bride's side. Khanna parents have accepted Mehek with open arms. They agreed to have a simple wedding with family & close friends. As Groom's party they ensured to have every tradition fulfilled to give the best wedding for Mehek & Shaurya.
Mehek was least interested to include Sharma family. She has her perfect family with her true friends. So Ajay and Sonal took it as their sole responsibility to provided perfect reception from Bride's side.
Once Sonal was satisfied, she rushed to check on Mehek. The stylists have already arrived to dress the bride for reception. Ajay was welcoming the guests when a familiar figure walked towards him. Ajay was shocked but soon displeased. He pulled him to a side and looked around to ensure that none have seen him, "What are you doing here, Abhi?". "I wanted to congratulate Mehek", Abhi replied softly. "She doesn't need your wishes", Ajay pushed him away, "Get out of here". Ajay prayed that Sonal won't bring in Mehek while he was dealing with Abhi.
"Ajay, I don't want to create any scene here. I just want to see her and speak for few minutes", Abhi pled but Ajay was adamant not to allow him. Abhi looked behind Ajay and he followed his line of sight to find Shaurya. Ajay gulped down, sensing situation spiraling out of control. "Mr. Khanna, please let me meet Mehek once. I just want to congratulate her and ask for her forgiveness", he begged Shaurya. Ajay was sure that Shaurya will give him a piece of mind but he was surprised when Shaurya calmly handled Abhi. "Mr Mehra, I understand your intention. But believe me when I say, it is best that you stay away from Mehek".
"Why me?', Abhi wailed. He then looked at Ajay, "It was your foolish prank that led to her suffering", he then accused Shaurya, "You were the prime reason of her misery. She isn't cross with you both. Then why me?". "You still don't get it, do you Abhi?", Ajay mocked him. "No, I don't", Abhi snapped at him, "Mehek can forgive Mr Khanna and accepted him into her life. Then why can't I be pardoned?". "Because you betrayed her, Abhi. You had a choice to support her but you broke her. None of us, even Shaurya deliberately harmed Mehek. Later we all did our best to support Mehek whereas you ruined her for your selfishness. You can never amend your sin". Ajay fumed while Shauray was vexed. "Please", Abhi requested them, "My guilt is burning me alive".
Shaurya kept a consoling hand on Abhi's shoulder, "I can assure you that Mehek bears no ill feelings for you. You are not in her mind as you are long forgotten. Probably lost as a dark memory". His words didn't bring intended consolation to Abhi so Shaurya continued, "Perhaps, one day she will be able to forgive you too. But today is not the day", he spoke firmly, "Today is her day, Abhi. And I don't want even a slight chance of distress over my wife. I won't allow it". "Neither would I", Ajay stood tall. Abhi remained sad with his head hanging low. "If you really care about Mehek and honestly wish her well, then please leave", Shaurya asked him respectfully. Abhi accepted defeat and left the premises with a heavy heart.
Deniz and Sonal led Mehek to the stage where groom and his party were waiting. Mehek looked beautiful in her off shoulder, mermaid red dress. "You look stunning", Ajay praised her. "Red is your colour, Mehek", Sandeep also complimented. "Ofcourse, it is. Thanks to us that we didn't listen to your suggestions", Sonal and Deniz looked at eachother, "You can appreciate our efforts too". Both men hugged their respective wives with a dramatic 'Aawh' and started to shower them with praise.
"It is now when you tell how beautiful I look", Mehek bashed her eyelids taunting Shaurya. "Sorry Mehek, as I was lost trying to figure out how to undo your alluring dress", Shaurya told her cheekily, "else it is going to be torn into rags tonight". Mehek turned crimson while he reminded her of their impending wedding night. "By the way, you look gorgeous", he praised her with a wink and pecked her lips.
"Oh!, I feel so bad", Purab, the best man whined, "I shouldn't have missed my chance to woo Mehek". "Purab!", Mehek acted to punch him in his gut but Shaurya just laughed. He knew Purab too well and quickly hugged his friend. "Someone is definitely made for you, Purab", Shaurya was confident, "when right time comes, you will find her for sure". Purab shrugged his shoulders but then his gazed got fixed on one of the guests who was approaching the couple. "Shaurya, Krishna is here", Mehek pulled his attention.
Krishna smiled at them heartily and placed a flower bouquet on Mehek's arms. "Congratulations. Wish you both a very happy married life", she wished them earnestly. After cursory conversation, Krishna tried to leave. "Please don't leave in haste", Mehek insisted. "I have to get back home before it is too late", Krishna tried to reason. "If it pleases you, I will be happy to drop you home", Purab pitched in and tried to be charming.
Krishna was taken aback and before she could react, he placed her hand on his forearm, "I bet you will enjoy the dessert section. Although not as sweet as you, they are worth trying". His attempt appeared a bit strange to Mehek & Shaurya but Krishna seemed to definitely impressed by his goofiness. She was smiling ear to ear while he led her into the party. Apparently she was enjoying his company. "Seems like your prediction came to be true", Mehek beamed at Shaurya and he kissed her cheek being glad.
Finally it was time for newlyweds to leave for their honeymoon. Shaurya's private jet was waiting for them when they all arrived at the airport after the reception party. Ajay, Deniz, Anaya, Sonal, Sandeep and their baby; they all stood in tow to bid farewell to them. Even Krishna was present standing beside Purab. It was evident that Krishna decided to stay longer owing to Purab's charm. Mehek waved back at them, her true family. "Baba", Anaya called out before they entered the airport, "Don't forget about my special gift". "I won't, Princess", Shaurya gave her flying kiss.
Mehek was tired when she settled inside the jet. Their destination was still a surprise but she knew Shaurya will never disappoint her. She yelped when he quickly scooped her into his arms and brought her into the cozy bedroom. Mehek laughed and kissed him. "What's the special gift you promised Anaya?", Meheh draped her arms around his neck, "you are spoiling her". "Oh, you are mistaken, Mrs Khaana. My gift will make her responsible".
Mehek knitted her eyebrows, "Now I am curious, Mr Khanna". He came near her ears and whispered, "A young sibling". Mehek shied away but he held her close. He started to suck on soft spot on her neck while pulling down zipper of her dress. "You are too dedicated to the task, Mr Khanna", she teased him. "You have no idea, wifey", he growled when her dress came undone and pooled at her feel. He smirked noticing the enticing lingerie she wore underneath, "Mrs Khanna, you are well prepared to ambush me". "You have no idea, Hubby", she pulled him by his collar and they fell onto the bed.
"You are mine for eternity", he spoked hoarsely. "Looking forward to be your captive of Love", she responded while taking off his cloths. "I love you, Mehek", he kissed her passionately. "I love you more, Shaurya", she challenged him ardently.
