Mehak caressed his bearded cheek with the back of her palm and said your punishment is to shave this beard, can you do it? Shaurya's eye opened wide and his jaw dropped shocked. Mehak not this please , Mehak shake her fingers in sign of NO and said this is your punishment and I know you only good in talking you can't do didn't I said earlier. She yawned and said ok patidev I am going to sleep so this is the border do not get closer you got it, she draw a line with her hands and push him to his pillow and turn to sleep. Shaurya looking at her in disbelief and blaming himself never in life someone did this to Shaurya Khanna but this Mehak is driving me insane. He smirked at her and loudly said you can draw the border on the bed darling but at midnight you will be sleeping at my side hugging me because I know you are attracted to me like magnet. Mehak didn't respond and he try to see her and found her fast asleep.

Next day morning Mehak gets up from sleep she yawned and stretched herself, she remembers what happen the night before she quickly turned her head behind and saw Shaurya was not there. She gets up from the bed and went to the balcony he was not there as well, then she tell herself maybe he already started his morning workout. She went to freshen up and after wearing her accessories she gets to the kitchen, she greeted Awara bhaiya and started to make breakfast. She asked bhaiya is Shaurya outside jogging, he replied his car not outside maybe he went out. Mehak wonders where he went so early morning, she continue with the breakfast preparations. After a while she heard his car sound being parked at the front porch, she realized he has reached home, she continued to arrange them all in a tray and pass it to Awara bhaiya to arrange them on dining table. Shaurya enters the kitchen and Mehak realizes that he is standing closer to him. She just ignore and gets herself busy. He didn't like to be ignored and he wants to show his existence there so he cages her in his arms by placing both his arms on the kitchen island as Mehak was standing in middle. Then she asked what is it Shaurya, I am busy here anything please tell fast and move. Naughty Shaurya blow some air on her neck to distract her. Mehak was praying in her heart with his presence I can't do anything, she warn him to go or else she will beat him up. He asked her to close her eyes and turn in the count of 3. She asked what it is early morning you are playing like small child. What surprise you have now, he asked her to close her eyes and he will count. She closed her eyes, Shaurya counted 1, 2 and he removed the jacket hood and said 3. Mehak turned and opened her eyes. She was flabbergasted on her view set in front of her. She covered her mouth with both her palms and her eyes popped out. Shaurya gives his usual naughty smirk and asked how do I look baby? Unable to find a word she gulped her saliva and stuttered what did you do? He came closer to her face, you named your punishment and I just did it to make you happy so are you happy now and give me a quick kiss now. Mehak bend herself behind avoiding him. She pushed him and he give his naughty look. She touched his cheek with her palms and said you really went to shave or is it some kind of trick, Shaurya grinned sheepishly. He replied I already shave my beard now because you said so now don't delay and give me my kiss or else I will take it myself, Mehak's eye widened. She responded I don't know you I only know the bearded, tall handsome Khadoos Shaurya. I want my bearded Shaurya back not you. Saying that she push him away but he stand facing her like a rock. Do you think it's a joke, I already shave my beard and it will grow back in another few weeks? Now don't be naughty and listen to me or else I will bring this matter to the elders in the house. Mehak pouted at him and said I can't kiss you because my Shaurya have the beard you don't have. You look like stranger, I don't kiss stranger.

Dolly maasi called Mehak from dining table, taking this is the chance she pushes Shaurya and came to dining table. Karuna maa asked her to sit for breakfast what are you doing in kitchen so long. Mehak sat quietly. Harish papa asked beta where is Shaurya? Before she could answer, Shaurya walked into the dining table and pull a chair next to Vicky. All looked at him and lost for words. Vicky laughed and asked bhaiya what you did to yourself. Your beard was your signature look and you were Delhi's most hot, stud model. Karuna maa interrupted and said Shaurie how long I have been wanted to see my boy like this, I am sure you shave because Mehak ask you to do it right? As she finish saying that both Shaurya and Mehak choked. All the family looked at both of them and smiled quietly. Mehak finished her meal and she cleared the table along with Dolly maasi, while Shaurya went upstairs to get dressed up for work.

Dolly maasi asked her to go up and see on Shaurya maybe he will need something but Mehak protest saying he will manage. Dolly maasi asked her to go listen don't spend time at kitchen all the time. Mehak reluctantly leave the kitchen and went upstairs. She walked slowly and opens her room door she peeped through as if checking for is it safe to enter, she gently enter and close the room door. She tiptoed into the room and talking to herself maybe he is showering and getting ready. I will just wait here for 10minutes then I go downstairs. She was standing facing the bed suddenly Shaurya from back tap on her shoulder she turn to face him he pushed himself on her and both fell on bed. Mehak gasped for her breath as his body pressed against her softness her heart raced at his proximity and she knows he will not let her go without getting what he wants she can't trick Shaurya Khanna. He was only clad in his towel exposing his sexy torso She started to hit on his shoulders and chest. He held both her arms above her head and his eyes gleamed in mischievous. She tried to free from his arms but his grip was tight so no point struggling with him. He looked at her with a loving gaze and Mehak melts immediately looking at his yearnings. He lowered his lips on hers and started to kiss her fervently. Mehak reciprocated and kissing him back as she also longing to taste his lips. Both parted their lips and Shaurya rolled to the bed and this time Mehak was on top of him. He released her hands and he rested his on her hips she looked at him lovingly and brushes her nose against his nose. Shaurya she said, one of his finger was playing with her long curls hmmm he responded you look so different without your beard. She cupped his cheeks. He replied her I will do anything for you Mehak this is just my beard yes it's my look, my pride and I use my beard to tickle you but since you said so, so no turning back, you should know how stubborn and how aggressive I can be if anything revolve around you. Also when we are arguing never ever say that why did I marry you and not any other girls out there , I never want to hear that again from your mouth this is for my sanity sake. You are everything to me and I don't mind losing anything of mine but not you and I am not going to share you with anyone too. Mehak felt dominance in his voice as he convey his feelings to her. He took her hand and started to kiss her fingers one by one sending her chills over her body. His looks were so intense and she felt contentment in his arms. Their trance was broken when Shaurya's mobile ring he was not happy he slowly roll Mehak back to bed and gets up to answer his call. Mehak in the meantime went to bathroom and she saw she was so red as blushing nonstop her lips are swollen , she smiled gently and went to the wardrobe to get Shaurya his suit . She took two sets out and he was still on the bed answering the call, she stand in front of him asking which one he looked at her and smiled pointed to the suit which she was holding in her right arm.

He smiled at her and said not that yesterday you were so tired and I thought today is better you rest that's why, I don't think so Archie have the guts to come there anymore as you have given her warnings also you will definitely cut her up and feed the stray cats at old Delhi. She swatted on his shoulder and smiled. Just keep smiling like this okay, see you bye he said and both went downstairs holding hands. Shaurya wave at her and sending her flying kisses and ignited his car and drives out. Mehak went back inside the house.

At Khanna Mansion, Karuna maa called Mehak to her room. Both Dolly maasi and Karuna maa showed her Shaurya's childhood photo album. From school, and events all his photographs. Then his teenager photo where he was without his beard and he was looking grumpy look. Mehak teased he still have the same grumpy Khadoos face maa, Karuna maa laughed and said you are teasing him so much , now tell me did you the one asked him to shave because for years he didn't shave and want to keep that look. Mehak stuttered and said she didn't do anything, Dolly maasi said we know it must be you, or else why he out of blue moon suddenly shave. Anyway we also miss see this Shaurya, he looks like teenager model. Then Karuna maa remembered something and asked both to wait and she went to get another album. In there it was Shaurya's modelling photo shoots collection. After he came back from overseas many company approached him for modelling so he did a few so this was from there and also some magazines did photo-shoots for magazine covers. Mehak was so happy to see his childhood and teenagers photos. Karuna maa said only I don't have his baby and early toddler pictures and you know the reason Mehak. Mehak nodded and smiled at her. Maa you have kept all these so well. It was so nice to see Shaurya's pictures. Then she saw one photo of him which he went for island hopping he was posing with his 6 pack in white pants. She took her mobile out and took a picture of that. After that Karuna maa showed his books and some of his art and craft he did during school time and how teacher will have to control his tantrum in school. He is good student just he have his own personality and perception on everything. Mehak smiled and said he is like that right na maa? Karuna maa smiled yes, his love also different like him, Mehak blushed hearing that. Then Karuna maa said Dolly do you know something , our bahu also not light to handle, let me tell you , Karuna maa started how she first met Mehak at ISC and she named Shaurya as monster and Khadoos Kumar. Then don't know why these two always fought once she was here on Diwali because Shaurya did something to her chachu. Then Karuna maa looked for an album and showed their photo taken on the dance floor. Svetlana kept saying that they have something in between didi you will know it soon. I didn't pay any attention to her talk. In ISC Shaurya always taunts her and finds ways to provoke her and on the day when they want to announce winner Mehak slapped Shaurya in front of live media and audience. Dolly maasi hearing that hey eyes open wide is it true didi? Then she looked at Mehak, who was lowering her eye lid, sorry maasi it was misunderstanding and he always find something to make things difficult for me so I lose control and slap him. Karuna maa supported Mehak saying any girls from good family upbringing will be doing that, they can't let anyone take advantage on their dignity and self-respect. Dolly maasi ask them to continue. After the ISC over I notice Shaurya behave slightly different and he gets irritated quickly then Mehak's family arranged her to get married to another guy, Shaurya find out that guy have bad intention to get married to Mehak and he stop her wedding. Dolly maasi gets excited the story is so intense like TV serial didi. Then Mehak said now I will tell maa, she told how he come to house to see her for no reason and to her work place just to go for coffee I always rejected his offer then he told me I will come to him in 24hrs time. He tricked me, when I called him his driver said he met accident and I rush to that place there was accident but not him, he was standing so coolly. The next day when I finish work and go home he is sitting at my home then he ask for my hand in front of my family. Kanta chachi was so angry. Karuna maa continued Svetlana did something in between and Mehak didn't want this relation but Shaurya was so stubborn he wants this so he packed all his things and went to her door step on the next day, he stayed there for almost 1 week so he can change their mind, what to do they were afraid Shaurya's behavior and our family background how their girl will be in our house. Finally when the Sharma's were okay Shaurya said he don't want, you know what this girl did Dolly. Mehak shakes her head NO and hold Karuna maa's hand maa please no. Dolly ask her quite what she did didi, then this girl came to our house to convince him but he was not agreeing and then this girl did a drama till now I cannot stop laughing, Mehak lower her head down, she took a bottle of wine and went to the roof top of the house and get herself drunken and started to threaten all of us that she will jump from there and police will come to arrest all the Khanna's because they are responsible for this as Shaurya Khanna didn't want to marry her. Hearing this Dolly maasi got surprised and looked at Mehak and asked is it so bahu, she nodded her head gently. Shaurya gave up and he agreed to marry her and he went to bring her down from the roof top. You see our bahu is not too easy to handle too. She is equally stubborn as well. Then wedding preparations started but Shaurya did something which no one will ever do but my daughter came back with her own bharaat for her in-laws place. She was always stay good no matter how Shaurya treated her. Once she brought Women rights action team to protest against him to teach him a lesson. I need to pair up with her to fight him. Then both decided to part ways but Shaurya started to develop feelings for Mehak and always after her trailing her like shadow till once Mehak tried to save him by risking her own life. He cannot stand anyone do any harm to her. Dolly maasi said now both are blessed with all your prayers didi. Yes I always pray to Matarani that both my children are stay happy and blessed that's all I want nothing much. Mehak hugged her and said love you maa. Karuna maa kissed on her cheek. Dolly maasi asked them to continue chit chatting she and Awara will prepare lunch. In the meantime Karuna maa showed another album with all Shaurya's newspaper clippings, also some of the ISC photos with Mehak especially the swimming pool incident, the announcement of Shaurya and Mehak wedding and many more. Karuna maa saying I will collect all articles about Shaurya and keep nicely here so I can show everyone. She looked at Mehak and asked bahu are you alright you look kind of pale. She touched her face and said she feeling tired and not herself today. She ask her to take a nap after lunch maybe she overworked the past few days. She nodded and continue see Shaurya's things from Karuna maa's collection. After lunch she went to her room, she wasn't sleepy so she decided to watch TV for a while. As she watch TV she fell asleep.

Later after few hours of nap she got up and she felt uneasy, she went to toilet and found she is having her period. No wonder she is like feeling uneasiness like back cramp and slight dizziness, she remembered that she have not taking her iron supplements for more than 1 week. She sat on the bed and playing with her mobile. Shaurya got back home earlier than usual. He came in and asked Dolly maasi where is Mehak and she said we ask her to rest because she look colorless. Must be napping now. He wonders she was okay when I went in the morning what happen now. He quickly hopped the staircase and went to his room. He opened the door and saw Mehak sitting on the bed. He rushed to her side and cupped her cheek and asked what happen, morning you were okay now you are slightly warm and pale a bit. She hold his hand and said I am okay Shaurya, he asked shall I call doctor, no need you silly she replied him and clung to his arm. He asked are you okay why are you sitting on the bed. She said I feel slight cramp and tired so maasi ask me to rest after lunch was watching TV and fell asleep. Mehak he called her again what happen tell me now, or else I will carry you to go to hospital to see doctor. You know me I will do that. Mehak was so shy to tell him but if she didn't tell than how he will know and his stubbornness. She lowered her head and said softly Shaurya and takes a deep breath continued I have my period that's why I look a bit sick. He holds her chin to meet his eyes her eyes still look down he ask her to see him she slightly lifted her eye lid and see him. Mehak you are my wife and I am your husband you can tell anything and everything to me why are you so shy and reluctant to share this with me. She cling to his arms as he was talking this is natural for all women and I know I have read that it causes some uneasiness, cramps and mood swings. Wait a minute, is that why you were in bad mood with me yesterday he started to laugh loudly Mehak swatted him you are so bad Shaurya I am feeling uneasy now also you are taunting me she takes her hand away from him. He looked at her and with a naughty smile do you want to eat anything sweet like chocolate? Mehak's eyes glittered. He went to get a box and opened Ferrero rocher was inside and she started to open the wrappers and started to drop in her mouth like an excited child. He looked at her in disbelief sometimes she is like grown up sometimes behaves like a child. He sat next to her and took one and open the wrapper ask her to open her mouth as she wait for him to feed her he put it inside his and started to chew them ignoring her. Mehak looked at him you are so bad Shaurya she said. He gets up to refresh himself and change clothes, Mehak also comes out of bed she ask him to wait here will get for you tea and some snacks. He stops her and said I will get Awara to send it up, we will have it together also you are having cramps why are you walking so much. She argued that she is fine but he pressed his index finger on her lips as a sign no more arguments.
