Bela's POV:

Mahir, G aunty and P aunty all three were looking at me like I'm an alien!!!

'Bela going to Bali 😳😳😳?' P aunty asked looking at me in a shocked expression

'Bela turned bomb 😳😳😳? I can already listen to Behir music in background' G aunty said...

While I was looking at them with a confused expression..

While what I heard next had my eyes popping...

'Bela looking sexy... sultry oomph !!!'

And this time it was none other than...

Mahir!!!

I shot my head in his direction and he was tilting his head and looking at me with a twinkle in his eye...

Those eyes were scanning through my soul... I was feeling butterflies!!!

I cleared my throat expecting him to come out of his trans!!!

He didn't so finally P aunty shook his shoulder and he was back to this world!!!

Next second he looked here and there...

***

He was sitting and watching tv but I could see his eyes all the time on me and that made me hell nervous 🙄😌

Is it because of my shorts???

Well!!! He only told I look bad in saree!!!

Umm!!! Maybe I must switch to something easy going...

Salwar kameez...

Kurta jeans???

While I saw P aunty and G aunty gave us a few gifts and a bowl full of chicken biryani and left.

While I was still in my thoughts...

I heard Mahir say

'I guess you don't need to cook... This is more than enough for us both' and I nodded my head.

Just then Mahir had his phone ringing and his expressions went serious.

After sometime he dropped the call and looked at me...

'It was my friend Inspector Ali...he is handling your case...Bela...I know it's not easy but I want you to give your statement in the court!!!' he said with a serious expression.

And I was already recalling the dirty incident. Next minute I shouted in fear while I felt a hand on my shoulder..

'Bela Bela calm it's me Mahir' he said and I don't know what happened...

I hugged him tightly...he wrapped his hands around me and I felt protected..

'Bela I know it's not easy...but you should do this! Rehaan and his men are a threat to the society... although no punishment is enough for dogs like these....but atleast by doing this you are saving many other Bela's... correct???'

I thought for a moment and nodded my head.

'Thats like my brave wife...the dates for the court hearing are 20th this month. Ali told me they have all the proofs...it basically open and shut!!! You still have 18 more days. It would be around Yuvi and Vish's wedding... you should be good!'

I nodded and he left...

Lunch happened silently post which I sat watching tv while getting bored... Mahir sat next to me for while, when I sat surfing channels while smiled at me asking...

'Get up Bela... Wanna see some of Namma Bengaluru???'

And next second I jumped in excitement...

I quickly wore my jeans and T-shirt and stood infront of him trying hard to control my excitement...

He chuckled and soon we got into his car.

He took me around Bangalore for a long drive...He showed me the HSR lake, The famous Agara Hanuman temple, we went to a nearby mall although I hated going for shopping we avoided it and soon he took to show me my Medical college that I would be joining soon. I was thrilled.

Finally we decided to go to have some Chaats so we stopped at a small stall in Marathahalli. It was so damn crowded there. But Mahir made sure to cover me well while I felt happy.

He cares ❤️

We ate Chaats and Vadapav.

The Vadapav was so spicy that I literally started jumping. I insisted I wanted to have an ice-cream. But Mahir was stubborn that he will get it and I must sit inside the car as the shop was crowded.

I did as he said. But I saw a cute puppy on the roadside. It was about to cross the road and get hit by a vehicle.

I ran and picked it up. I was squatting and cuddling the cute little puppy while I heard a comment...

'Look at the booty dude...lucky fuc'

And before I could turn around to see I heard the guy screaming as already crowd gathered there. I picked the puppy and went to see while Mahir was beating the hell out of that man.

I pulled Mahir while he kept yelling...

'Baddimagne...innondsala higenadru madakk hodyo..hutlilla ansbidtini hushaar!!!
(Bloody jerk, next time I see you doing this...I will make sure you were never born! Careful)'

I looked at Mahir and next second he pulled me and made me sit in the car.

He was so angry that he went back... was ready to beat up the guy again and literally threw that guys bag away... Snatched his phone and did something with it. After sometime he came and took the drivers seat and we were driving back home.

He was seething anger. Although I felt happy he cared for me but there was a scene created there!!! And I was annoyed!!!

'Mahir you must not have done that...it's common..you find these assholes everywhere'

To which he stopped the car..and looked at me...

'Exactly Bela...you find these assholes everywhere and you see them doing such stuff you must take them to police station. Today he was doing that tomorrow he'll do worse'

'Mahir there are many who comment like these...we face it'

'Thats your problem...you don't have to face it. You have to beat the shit out of it. Make sure he doesn't repeat it with others. This is a mini version of Rehaan... neither that was acceptable neither this'

'And to add on he was gawking at you...shooting your video...I would kill that bastard...'

Thats when i was shocked.

There was silence in the car.

We reached home.

'Is it my clothes? Mom Dad used to say I must be careful with what I wear...i was allowed shorts at home but outside jeans with kurtas...because Sumi Ma did shopping for me I only have these tshirts now..i will wear only sarees or salwar henceforth' I said softly...

To which he stopped the car. Got down from it and pulled my wrist and pinned me to the car and said..

'Look Bela...I don't know what environment you were brought up.. what you were told or how were you taught... Now you are my wife...And my wife does whatever she likes... although this is a compromise wedding... Our friendship isn't a compromise..you are a friend now Bela... And my responsibility too... You are a free, independent individual...no one judges you...no one teaches you ..you do as your heart says... and remember these assholes have a shit brain....you look beautiful even in a pink pajama... now thats not your fault right???' he said

While my breath hitched...

First at our proximity as he was way too close to me second because he noticed me in those pink pajamas!

Well now I know why was he gawking at me all the time...

In that saree 🙄

Or those shorts 😌

I stayed tight lipped...

He was probably embarrassed too...

'Ummm...Ba...Ba... Bela...let's go home...I'm thirsty...I need a chilled milkshake...' and he ran upstairs while I still stood there for a while and slowly went to the lift.

We reached our apartment.

I saw he started making milkshake while probably to make the environment lighter he shouted from the kitchen...

'Tonight it's my treat... anyways from tomorrow we both are back to the grind...you to your college ...me to my work...try my speciality Mahir Sehgal special strawberry milkshake!!!'

He announced...

Although I like chocolate better I sat quietly smiling and was browsing my phone...

My friendsbook profile...

While I noticed Mahir had changed his status and put up a post...

Married to Bela Sharma...

I had a wide smile on my face 😊

I felt like responding back to it...

Mahir's POV:

I don't know what happens to me sometimes!

I'm over emotional!

I pinned her to the car and bloody we were so close!!!

I still can't forget her pink lips!

More colorful than these strawberries!!!

Damn you Mahir Sehgal!!!

Control your brains!!!

I was garnishing the strawberry milkshake with pieces of fresh strawberry when my phone pinged...

And my eyes bulged out at what I saw...

Bela had changed her profile picture to our wedding picture

And her name on friendsbook now read as...

Bela Mahir Sehgal...

I was shocked 😶

I quickly went to the sofa where she was sitting and watching Tom n Jerry.

'Milkshake for the lady' I said...

She flashed her killer dimples and picked the glass..

And said a sweet 'thank you'

Next second I took a dip next to her on the sofa...

While I saw she moved a bit to the corner....

Umm... Guess she's not very comfortable 🙄

Damnnnnn you Mahir!!! The car incident!!!

I tried to lighten up the mood...

'You know there was a old uncle who couldn't even stand properly, was half the weight of the guy there but wanted to hit him 😂'

To which she chuckled too 🤭

'But you need not have Mahir..I mean thank you for stopping him shooting the video but you need not have created a scene!'

'Bela...you don't know these Road Romeo's will only learn a lesson when public thrashes him and police adds on to it...when public will make him a red tomato and when police will make a rasam out of him my soul will be satisfied... how dare he look at you like that' I said and she smiled...

I took another sip of milkshake...

'You must learn self defence Bela...I'm a karate black belt...I can teach you' I offered

To which she smiled and said 'Lets see'

'What let's see...you will... Infact you are too late...I will make sure to train our daughter at the age of 4 itself so by the time she's your age... she'll break bones!'

I said and took another sip of milkshake...

While I saw Bela sat there like a frozen yoghurt ...I wonder why 🤔

While next second I realised 😶

What the hell! My tongue 🤦🙆

What the F did I blabber 🤐
