Bela hid her chocolate and called Nakul & Koel inside. Naku had heard Behir's talk and they were angry too.

Bela," What happened? Why you both are standing outside?"

Mahir comes out from bathroom.

Bela," You both are looking angry."

Mahir looked at the direction where Nakul was looking. His gaze was at pillow. It seemed strange to him.  Then he observed carefully and undertood that chocolates were hidden under it.

Mahir," What happened?"

They didn't said anything.

Mahir," Come with me Nakul."

Nakul kept standing. Mahir hold his hand and dragged him outside.

Bela and Kuhu asked to each other," What happened to him"

Both nodded in no.

Bela," Leave him tell me why you are upset?"

Kuhu," I am not upset."

Bela," Your face is telling. Come on don't consider me as your irritating brother's wife. Think of me as your friend.

Sit beisde me."

She sat beside her.

Bela," Are you upset because of morning's pic? I don't know why I am taking grumpy monster's side but it's true he didn't meant any harm."

Kuhu chucked at her brother's new name and tried to say something but Bela didn't let her.

Bela," I know..I know..that was not but look he's your brother. He was just trying to have some fun. All the things happening from yesterday are not easy to handle. So to have something normal he must have clicked your pic. For fun...to ease tension..."

Kuhu," What? He clicked?"

Bela," Yes! Why are you shocked? Didn't you heard Mahir's and mine talk and became upset?😟"

Kuhu," No! We didn't heard anything. We were discussing something else. But I knew it. He was lying. I will not leave him.😡"

Bela," No..no..no... Stop Kuhu... He will get angry on me if he come to know I told you."

Kuhu," Relax bhabhi. It's his favourite time pass to get angry. You will get used to it after sometime."

Bela," What?😮 No... (She take free breaths.) Listen you relax. Think calmly what I have just told you. We are having a rough time. Our marriage was a sudden shock for us. We are trying to act normal. But we are not. Many things and emotions are going on inside us. Try to put yourself in our shoes and think.

Instead of fighting you can do something else. Think of some other way of making it equal with him. I am with you. I will always with you in teaching him a lesson. It will be fun."

Kuhu," Okay! We will prank him."

Bela," Okay! (After some seconds) If you were not upset because you heard us then why were you upset?"

Kuhu," Your husband promised us he will give us gifts or some money today but he didn't."

Bela," Ohh! I will ask him."

Kuhu," Okay! But bhabhi never get scared from him. He just shows himself to be dangerous and angry person but he is not. He's opposite from inside."

Bela nodded.

Now let's see what Nakul & Mahir talked about.

Nakul," What are you doing bhai? Why you brought me here?"

Mahir," To talk..."

Nakul," About what?"

Mahir," Don't act... The way you were looking at my pillow I understood you were looking at chocolate that Bela kept under pillow."

Nakul nodded," She thought she had hid it under pillow but why she hid?"

Mahir," Because she didn't noticed you heard us and know that it was your chocolate."

Nakul," What? She stole from me?😮"

Mahir," What? No... She didn't knew they were yours before I gave her.

Well if we see technically she ate them that makes her culprit.Yes brother she's your thief. Go to her and take revenge."

Nakul," You are blaming her now.😮"

Mahir," I am not blaming you are. You are saying my wife is a thief and I am supporting you like a good brother."

Nakul," You did it.🥺 Mummaa...mumma bh...."

He couldn't complete as Mahir kept hand on his mouth.

Mahir," Stop! It was just chocolate. Why are you creating a scene?"

Nakul," But you"

Mahir," Yes I took your chocolates so what? You are my brother and helping me out in difficult situations is your duty. Bela was angry with me and was sad too."

Nakul," You fought with her."

Mahir," No! I scolded her when she was not at fault. I was frustrated. Why? I will tell you later. I needed to make things right and bring back her smile. She was not listening to me. Chocolates always bring a smile on your face that's why I thought it will work similarly on her too. And it did... I didn't had time to go to shop and buy new ones and you were sleeping till afternoon. So, I took yours but tell me who sleeps this late?"

Nakul," We slept late yesterday. It's fine... You did for bhabhi but"

Mahir," Yeah! I will bring more for you. I am going out with her."

Nakul," On date 😏 but I remember someone didn't even wanted to see her face till yesterday."

Mahir," Who could that be?🤔"

Nakul," Really bhai?😁 Who could that be?😏"

Mahir," Okay it was me but don't give those expressions.I didn't knew it was her. I thought I had married her sister. It's different with her."

Nakul nodded😏," Yes it must be different as marrying someone on whom we have crush from so long is different. I know..."

Mahir," What?😮 Cr..no... I don't have crush on her.😐"

Nakul," Don't lie to me you confessed yourself when I asked you why you were teasing..not teasing but fighting her in Ritik bhai's engagement?

You said clearly that she's cute and it was your way of approaching her."

Mahir's face was little red," Le..let's go. Da..dad has asked me to return e..early. He wanted to discuss something with me."

Nakul," Look Mr. Overconfident Sehgal is running from talk."

Mahir," I am not running anywhere. I don't have time for all this."

Nakul," Yes yes! Why will you have time for us now?😏"

Mahir," Shut up!"

Mahir stormed back to his room and Nakul laughed.

Nakul," Bahi listen... I want to ask something else too."

He ran after Mahir.

Mahir," Let's go Bela. We are late."

She nodded and got up.

Kuhu," Bhai"

Mahir," Later! We don't have time."

Nakul," But bhai our gift"

Bela thought she will be alone with Mahir and he will again taunt her, tease her and get angry on her. So, it's better to have some company so that he cannot say anything in front of them.

Bela said to Nakul & Kuhu," Why don't you too come with us on shopping? We can buy whatever you want as gift."

Nakul & Kuhu lit up," We cam come?😀"

Bela," Yes!"

Mahir shocked," What?😮 No😠!"

They all ignored him.

Bela," Go get ready fast."

Both ran out to get ready."

Mahir," Why you told them to come with us?"

Bela," They wanted gifts and now they can buy of their own choice and they would have got bored sitting at home."

Mahir," It was supposed to be our date."

Bela," It will be fun having them around. More people more fun."

Mahir," Do you know meaning of date?"

Nakul and Kuhu came back and said in unison," We are ready.😁"

Mahir," This fast?"

They nodded.

Bela," Come on let's go."

Nakul hold Bela's left hand and Kuhu her right hand and they all ran out saying," Yayyy!"

Mahir kept standing there with shocked expressions looking at their hands.😮😐

___________________________

That's all for now.

Bela does not have any feelings for Mahir till now or to be precise she has just started to develop feeling for him. That's why she didn't thought it will be good to spend some alone time with him. If alone he will tease her only or get angry. Bht her perception is wrong. She's little childish.

On the other hand Mahir do likes her since the moment her saw her in engagement of his brother but do not want to admit it. That's why he teases her to show he don't get affected. He gets rude with her because he's in denial state and he says things without thinking. He thinks later how he would have sounded. He's little childish too.
