Behir returned to the party.

Mahir: Kya yar pareshan kar diya inn logo ne.

Bela: Haa! Ye party hamare liye hai aur hum hi enjoy nahi kar paa rahe.😒

Mahir: We need new friends.

Bela: Definitely...

Mahir's friend's again came to him.

Veer: Mahir 2 min baat karni hai.

Mahir: Nahi...

Vikrant: Aaja... Bhabhi to yahi hai. Kahi nahi jayegi. (To Bela) Nahi jaogi na?

Bela: Huh?🤨

Mahir: Nahi...

Raghav: Aaja aaja 2 min.

They took him to other side.

Mahir: Kya hai? Kyu laye ho? Hum kal baat karenge na. Kal bataunga jo bhi puchoge par abhi mera Bela ke sath rehna important hai. She's my wife aur ye first time hai jab

Vikrant: (interrupts him) Thek hai thek hai chala jaio apni Bela ke paas pahle kuch important hai vo discuss karna hai.

Mahir: Kya discuss karna hai? Bata to diya sab. Ab nahi kar paya invite apni shaadi mein to nahi kar paya.

Raghav: Vo nahi bol rahe. Past is in past. Chal teri shaadi ho gayi to ho gayi. Ab dobara to karwa nahi sakte na?

Mahir: Ha to

Raghav: To party to ho sakti hai na?

Mahir: Ho to rahi hai party.

Veer: Ye party nahi. Alag party you know

Mahir: No I don't.

Vikrant: Koi baat nahi. Baad mein samjha denge konsi party par abhi kisi aur wagah se laaye hai yaha.

Raghav: Aur konsi wagah? Party ki baat karne ke liye to laye the yaha hum.

Veer: No! Hum(Vikrant & himself) nahi tu. Hum to isse kuch remind karwane ke liye laye the yaha.

Mahir & Raghav: Kya?

Vikrant: Hamara pact.

Mahir: K..k..kaisa pact?😓

Veer: Natak mat kar. Hame pata hai tujhe sab yaad hai. Humne kya decide kara tha last year Raghav ke birthday par?

Mahir: Yahi ke college canteen se kuch nahi khayenge. Ye beemar(ill) ho gaya tha aur celebrate nahi kar paya tha. Ye yaad dilane ke liye bulaya yaha?

Vikrant: Vo nahi. Humne ye promise kiya tha ki hamare group mein jiski bhi pahle girlfriend banegi vo baakiyon ki help karega, apni girlfriend ki friends se introduce karwa ke jisse hum...you know...

Veer: Yaad aaya Mahir?

Raghav: Ye kab decide hua?

Mahir: Tu bathroom gaya tha tab. Inn logo ko chup karwane ke liye haa kardi thi maine.

Veer: Promise kara tha bhai ab nibhana hoga.

Mahir: Main kabhi kabhi sochta hu tum jaise ghatiya logo ka friend kaise bana main?

Vikrant: Kyuki hamare alawa koi aur tera friend nahi bann raha tha isliye.

Veer: Exactly! Ab drama band kar aur bata bhabhi se kab baat karega iss bare mein?

Mahir: Bela se kya baat karu? Uski friends se mil to liye tum.

Raghav: Kab?

Mahir: Abhi thori der pahle jab Bela aur mere bare mein sabko bataya.

Vikrant: Acha?

Mahir: Ha... Vahi to thi jo overreact kar rahi thi. Zehrili Vish aur teekhi Meera. Vahi jo Bela ki behen ke sath khari thi.

Veer: Acha voooo...

Mahir: Ha aur dekho ye gate se bahr jaa rahi hai. Yahi dono hai...

They turned towards gate too see and at same time Bela came and dragged him with her.

Bela: Chalo chalo Mahir kuch khate hai. Chalo chalo..

He went with her.

Veer: (While turning back towards Mahir and found him gone) Par ye to 2 hai aur hum 3. Ye kaha gaya?

Vikrant and Raghav too turned and found him gone and looked here and there.

Raghav: Vo raha apni biwi ke sath.

Veer: Kuch zyada hi peeche peeche ghum raha hai apni biwi ke. Thori der bhi raha nahi jaa raha uske bina.

Vikrant: Koi nahi... Nayi nayi shaadi hai. Kal parso mein pakrenge(catch) isko.

Raghav: Ha... Usko apni wife ke sath enjoy karne do aur hum apna karte hai.

Veer: Yeah!

No one bothered Behir after that and they enjoyed rest of the party together.

After party ended.

At Behir's room...

Bela was in the bathroom and Mahir was relaxing on bed. Mahir's phone beep. He saw it was some funny joke from Veer. (Bela despises Veer from the moment she met him in the party.)
He started chatting with him in their chat group.

Bela came out from bathroom and  saw him chuckling and chatting with someone. She felt a wave of jealousy and thought, "Mere se to kabhi itna hass(laugh) hass ke baat nahi karta. Jab dekho larta(fight) rehta hai."

Bela: Kisse baat kar rahe ho itna hass hass ke?

Mahir didn't replied.

She shaked him: Bataoooo...

Mahir: Apni girlfriend se.😏

Bela: Kon hai vo churail (witch)?

Mahir: Churail?😂

Bela: (While snatching his phone) Main uska khoon pee jaungi. Kon hai vo?😠

Mahir laughs loudly. She saw it was his friend with whom he was chatting happily.

Bela: Veer se... 😒 Main tab se kuch bol rahi thi tab jawab kyu nahi diya?

Mahir: Reply type kar raha tha na to dhyan nahi diya.

Bela thought: Itne close hai ye log ki unko reply karne ke chakkar mein mujhe ignore kiya.

Mahir: Next time nahi hoga.

Bela: It's fine. Tumhare friends hai vo. Tum unse zyada close ho.

Mahir: (while typing) Ha hu...

Bela: Okay... Aur main?

Mahir: Kya?

Bela: Main tumhare kitne kareeb hu?

Mahir: (put his phone away)Kya?

Bela: How close I am to you?

Mahir: Translation nahi maanga tha. Hindi aati hai mujhe.

Bela: To batao main tumhare zyada close hu ya tumhare friends?

Mahir: Sorry yar aage se tumhe pura attention dunga.

Bela: Mujhe batao jo maine pucha hai.

Mahir: Achanak se ye kaha se aaya question?

Bela: Kahi se bhi aaya ho. Main tumhare kareeb hu ya nahi?

Mahir: Obviously tum ho... We are currently in same room.

Bela: Thek se jawab do.

Mahir: Kya thek se yar? Jo puch rahi ho vahi to bata raha hu.

Hum same ghar mein, same room mein rehte hai. Even same bed mein, same blanket mein sote(sleep) hai. Hum close nahi hai to aur kya hai?

Bela: 🤦🏻‍♀️ Aise nahi...

Mahir: To kaise?

Bela: Rehne do tum. Di sahi thi. Tumhare friends ke aage meri koi value nahi hai.

Mahir: Di?

Bela: (lie down on bed) Ha di ne sab samjhaya mujhe. Baat mat karo mujhse.

Mahir: (slowly while grinding his teeth) Ab kya aag lagai hai iski mahan di ne?😒

He too lie down beside her and kept hand on her shoulder: (In sweet voice) Kya hua baby?

Bela: Kuch nahi hua.

Mahir: To mera ye chota sa 10 sal ka bccha gussa kyu hai?

Bela: Main baccha nahi hu.😠

Mahir: Okay..okay nahi ho.

Bela: Mujbe baat nahi karni. Apne friends se hi baat karo hass hass ke. Mere sath to kabhi aise baat nahi karte. Chire(grumpy/irritated) rehte ho hamesha. Unke sath hi maza aata hoga tumne. Mere sath baat karna kaha acha lagta hoga?

Mahir: Phir se nahi Bela. Kal hi hamari iss topic pe baat hui thi. Baat kya larai hui thi. Maine promise kara hai na ab ache se behave karunga.

Bela: Majboori mein ya sacchi mein?

Mahir: Kya?

Bela: Majboori mein kiya hai ye promise kyuki ab main tumhari wife hu, aur koi choice nahi hai mujhe jhelne ke alawa ya dil se?

Mahir got serious and sits: Kya baat kar rahi ho Bela? Kaise soch sakti hu tum aise? You know humne mutually ye decision liya tha ki hum iss relationship ko real chance denge. Phir ye baat kaha se aai?

Batao kya bola tumhari behen ne?

Bela: Nahi...

He pulled her up by her arms and looked into her eyes and said clamly but in a firm manner: Mujhe 1-1 baat batao kisne kya bola?

Bela went into flashback from party:

Shivi, Vish & Meera saw Bela standing alone and went to her.

Meera: Tu akeli? Mahir kaha hai?

Bela: Apne friends ke sath.

Vish: Bela aunty ne hame sab bata diya.

Bela: Sab?😮

Meera: Ha sab. Tune ye shaadi kyu aur kin halat mein ki hai hum jante hai. Hum iss bare mein ab kuch nahi bolenge aur na hi kisi ko batayenge.

Vish: Hum tere sath hain. Hum kisi ko kuch nahi batayenge.

Bela forwards her little finger: Pinki promise?🥺

They both locked their little finger with her and promised.

Vish: You are very brave Bela very brave.

Shivi hugged her: Yes! Maine bahut pareshan kiya na? Par kya karu majboori thi meri.

Bela: Di ye sab baate mujhe repeat nahi karni aur yaha ye sab discuss karna bhi nahi chaiye.

Shivi: Kyu par? Meri shaadi nahi hui to nahi hui. I am single. Main kyu chupau (hide)? Sach to sach hai. Kitna hi chupa lo. Kuch badal thori jayega?

Bela: Kisi ne sunn liya to problem ho jayegi Mahir ke liye. Mahir ke dad kuch naya launch karne wale hai aur kuch bhi hua garbad to sara blame Mahir par aa jayega.

Shivi: Okay nahi bol rahi kuch.

Vish: Dekh ab shaadi ho gayi to ho gayi ab. But now you have to be strong and gain some control over him.

Bela: Control?

Shivi: Ha control... Dekha kaise apne dosto ke aate hi bhul gaya tujhe.

Bela: N..nahi... Unke friends hai to

Vish: To kya? Tu yaha akeli khari hai aur vo apne dosto ke sath gappe(gossip) lara(kar) hai.

Bela: Akeli kaha? Aap log ke sath khari hu.

Shivi: Par vo to nahi hai na tere sath. Jab se party start hui hai tab se lagatar unhi ke sath hai. Tere paas to thori der sabko dikhane ke liye aaya tha. 

Ye tumhara wedding reception hai. First time as a wife unke guests se milogi. Tumhara side nahi chorna chaiye 1 sec bhi. Yahi hai teri value? Friends zyada important hai?

Bela: Ha di par yahi to hai vo. Aur janti hi hu zyadatar sab guests ko. Shaadi ke functions mein mile the.

Vish: Rehne de Bela. Uss din cafe mein dekha tha kaise behave kara tha isne. Ab dekh kaise kar raha hai?

Shivi: Mere sath bhi hotel ke bahr bahut badtameezi se baat ki thi. Tumhe bhi chup karwa diya tha phir mummy papa ke aate hi kaise shant ho gaya tha. Ab dekh

Bela: Vish Mahir jaldi mein tha tab aur emergency thi. Late ho jata to di aap nikal jati aur aapke sath larai ki kyuki aap sunn nahi rahi thi. Mujhe kuch nahi bol rahe the. He has promised he will behave good with me. Aur abhi isliye yaha nahi hai kyuki unke friends ko bhi shaadi ke bare mein nahi pata tha to vo vahi

Shivi: Bahane sab... Abhi se aise hai to aage kya hoga?

Meera got a call: I have to go guys. College mein milenge Bela. Chal Vish...

Vish: Ha! College mein milenge Bela.Tabhi samjhaungi.

Vish & Meera left.

Bela: Aap kya bol rahi thi di? Kya matlab tha aapka?

Shivi: Teri value iske friends ke comparison mein? Ye friends log aage jaake tumhare bech mein problem na karde. Sambhal ke...

Aur ye bhi check kar lena kabhi friends mein koi "girl" iski friend na ho jo aaj aai na ho party mein. Kya pata ye larke apne group ki issi "girl" friend ki side ho aur tere Mahir ko vo

Bela: Mahir ko kya? (Shivi didn't said anything.) Didi bolo na kya? Aap kya kahna chahte ho mujhe samj nahi aa raha.

Shivi: Tu samajhdar hai, khud figure kar aur ye tum dono ki aapas ki baat hai. Main kya bolu tum dono ke bech mein?(Abhi kuch bacha hai didi bolne ko?)

Shivi left her alone to think. Bela went to Mahir and dragged him away from his friends.

Mahir: Bela ye kya..suno...Bela kaha le jaa rahi ho?

Bela: Chalo..chalo..chalo..kuch khate hai Mahir.

Flashback ends...

Mahir (slowly): 🤦🏻‍♂️ Iski to.... Acha hua bhaag gayi ye shaadi se. Iss ghar mein aa jati shaadi karke to pata nahi kya kya karti?😒😡

Kuch to karna parega iska aur uss Vish ka. Meri bholi si Bela ko bharka rahe hai.😡

Bela: Zor se bolo. Mujhe sunai nahi de raha.😐

He takes few deep breaths to calm himself and cups her face in his hands: 1 baar bol raha hu Bela, pahle bhi bola tha and I hope aaj ke baad mujhe repeat na karna pare. Trust me ki meri life mein sirf tum ho. Aur koi nahi. Na koi "girl" friend meri hai aur na hi koi "girlfriend" hai.

Jo place tumhari hai meri life mein vo kabhi kisi ki nahi ho sakti.

I promised on our wedding night that whether we fall in love or not or we become friends or not but I'll be loyal always. I'll never break this promise.

I know abhi zyada time nahi hua hai hame sath aaye aur kal tum khud hi mujhe ye samjha rahi thi ki hamara relation new hai. Time chaiye... I agree and I feel time ke sath mujhe tumse pyaar ho jayega.

Bela: Mujhe bhi...

He kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes and hugged him.

Bela: Sorry!

Mahir: No need... Apne aap hi pareshan hote rehne ki jagah kabhi bhi kuch bhi ho share kar liya karo mere sath. Chote chote doubt kab misunderstanding bann jate hai aur kab misunderstanding se big problem pata nahi chalta.

Bela: Kafi deep baate kar rahe ho.

Mahir: Thank you..

Bela: (in playful time) Itna sab kaise pata tumhe? Itna experience kaise? Kitni girlfriends thi tumhari?

Mahir: Again doubting me?

Bela: Nahi yar... Mazak kar rahi hu.

Mahir: Mumma aur Kuhu ke tv serials se. Unke sath dekhne parte hai.

Bela: Aww! Haha!
