Chapter 34

Megha's POV



Mehul wanted to leave but Sagar didn't let us go. He was very emotional about something. Mehul could understand so he stayed.

Rahul and Priya came after a few mins. We greeted each other... I feel very comfortable with her. We both started talking about our dresses, jewellery, fashion etc.

They were going on honeymoon the next day and she was very happy about it. She asked me about my marriage and I told her about it and she told me about hers. We share a good bond now.

She asked me how do I feel for Mehul. I told her that I don't know... I am not very clear but I like him. Sometimes he gives me lots of importance and sometimes ignores me. She said that she thinks that Mehul has fallen in love with me. I don't think so. But yes he is attracted towards me, though he denies it.

Mehul, Rahul, Vikram and Gautam were talking though Gautam looked a bit reserved. Sagar was busy with his guests.

Priya and I were still talking about our marriages when a man came to us and introduced himself. We gave him a polite smile and tried to avoid him but he didn't leave. Just then Rahul came and he hugged Priya and kissed her on her forehead.

That man then looked at me and Rahul said, " Don't even think about it. Her husband is sitting there glaring at you. I suggest you leave if you love that face of yours. He is quite capable of changing its geography. " We all looked in his direction and saw that Mehul was glaring at him.

It was funny but that man looked apologetic and said that he thought that we were single. Rahul nodded and he left.

" Are you girls set to give a heart attack to your poor Husband ?? Just stay by us... Or someone else will think that you both are single and would come to talk to you. " He tightened his arm around her and she grinned.

We started walking towards Mehul and all of a sudden my feet got rooted to the ground.

She was here... Esha. His ex-girlfriend. She was standing right in front of Mehul and she said something to him. Then she took his hand in her's and started walking.

Mehul was following her like a lost puppy. She still had so much influence on him. Somehow, I felt some kind of a pain in my chest. I didn't like that she was holding his hand. He should have avoided her, told her to leave him alone. Maybe he is still in love with her.

I heard Rahul curse under his breath. I was looking in the direction they just went. I didn't want to intrude on them but I couldn't control myself and followed them. I don't know why I did that but I couldn't bear the sight of another girl holding his hand.

Rahul said, " Listen Megha, it is not how it looks like. She is just..." He tried to explain but I cut him short. I didn't realise that both of them were following me.

" Just... his ex-girlfriend, Esha. I know. " He was shocked to hear that.

I started walking in that direction again. I saw them going out of the party. I went after them. My mind was yelling at my feet to stop but my adamant feet didn't pay any heed to it.

I saw that she was holding both his hands and he was looking into her eyes. Then she started crying and he wiped out her tears.

She was crying and she buried her face in his chest. He seemed to hesitate for a few seconds and then hugged her. I could not take that anymore and I turned and went to the nearest washroom as my face was wet with tears now. I washed it and wiped it.

Why am I crying?? It does not matter to me. It is ok if he wants her in his life, I am ok with it. As it is, there is no relationship between us.

Priya followed me to the washroom.

" Are you alright? Megha, I know how you must be feeling right now. But it is not always as it looks like. I am sure it was not like, it seemed. "

" I am fine Priya, but I want to go home now. " We came out of the washroom and started going out of the hotel. Rahul and Priya followed me.

" Megha, please stop !! You are just like a sister to me, I know it's not true. I know what you saw, but there are always two sides of a coin."

" I am fine, I just need to go home. "

" But you can't go like this."

" Of course, I can, I will call a cab. Or will take a lift."

" Don't be stupid, Megha. "

" I don't want to see his face right now, so I am going home."

" Let him come, then we'll talk to him."

" There is nothing to talk. You know that... "

" Oh, you know nothing..."

" I saw everything with my own eyes." I stopped a taxi and was about to sit in it. When Rahul held my hand and shut the taxi's door.

" Fine, if you want to go, we will take you home."

' You don't need to bother, I can go in that taxi."

" Would your brother, let you go alone in a taxi at this hour? How do you expect me to do that? " He took his car from the parking and started driving towards Shah mansion.

"Megha, please listen... I know him since we were kids. I have spent years with him, I know what kind of a man he is. "

"I am fine, Bhai. It doesn't matter to me. "

" Of course, it does. But both of you are stubborn.

I did not answer. His phone started ringing, it was Mehul.

He offered his phone to me but I didn't take it. He picked up and said,

" We are going home...... Yes, she is with us...... We are going to drop her at your place....... I am driving, Mehul. I will call you, once we reach there. " He disconnected the phone.

" He is tensed as hell. Please, at least talk to him." I shook my head.

" There is nothing to talk."

We reached our mansion and I thanked both of them and rushed inside. I could not stand there even for a minute.

Bhabhi was watching a show on the TV in the living room. She was surprised to see me alone with tears in my eyes. She asked me what happened and I hugged her she kept stroking my hair and asked again. I told her everything. She told me to go and sleep in her room. I nodded and went to her room.



Mehul's POV



I came back after talking to Esha but could not find Megha. I thought that she would be with Priya and Rahul. I went to where food was served all my friends were there, except Megha, Priya and Rahul.

Where were they? Was she alright ?? I took out my phone to call her but... Oh god !! I don't even have her number.

What kind of a husband I am?

I called Rahul, he was not picking up the phone. Finally, he did after the tenth ring.

" Hello?? Hi, where are you?"

"We are going home."

" What ?? Why all of a sudden? Where is Megha?"

" Yes, she is with us"

" But why is she going with you ??? "

" We are going to drop her at your place"

"What happened?? Is she alright?? Is everything fine? Why is she going with you? Why didn't she come with me?? "

" I am driving, Mehul. I will call you once we reach there. " He disconnected the phone.

What was going on?? I was not getting anything, so I drove towards my home fast and reached there in 20 minutes.

Rahul's car was parked there and he was sitting in the car with Priya.

" Why are both of you sitting here?? What is wrong? What happened?? Why did you all come all of a sudden? Where is she? Please, Rahul tell me."
