Bela's POV:

I was shuddering at his every touch while I heard him suddenly snore..😂

He had slept again...

I smiled and slowly tried to get off his hold when I heard him again..

'You always do this baby.. come na...Babyyyy....Ruhiiiiii'

While the second I heard 'Ruhi!!!' something quite strong broke...

Again!!!

Yes!!! Again!

Then it wasn't that impactful!

But today it hit real hard.

Probably the difference because of a mere string tied across my neck now!!!

How much I have convinced myself since I got to know he had sent the wedding proposal!

I tried to put every emotion away!

Deep dug within the dungeons of my heart 💔

I didn't want it to be so immature but then I cannot deny the truth!!!

Whom am I lying to???

He was the first and the only man my heart was attracted to in 25 years!!!

Yes!

Mahir Sehgal was the only man Bela Sharma had ever felt for!❤️

Ofcourse after Hugh Jackman ❤️

I took slow steps towards the balcony of his bedroom which opened to the beautiful vegetable garden in their backyard...

The breeze from the huge jackfruit tree next to his room felt blissful as the sun rays twinkled my eyes...

I was drawn back to my college days when the very first time I saw Mahir enter our college premises.

I still remember!

His black and golden red Harley-Davidson with him sitting on it wearing a black leather jacket.

No showing off! No arrogance!

He quietly stood outside our college compound dialling someone.

He had thin black frame of glasses which were not for style quotient probably looked like his reading glasses as he wore them before he got on his phone.

I heard his laughter. It was one the cutest baby giggles.

He waited there for more than an hour. I knew this because I attended my anatomy lecture and came out for filling water from the cooler while I could still see him.

My eyes couldn't help but look at him.

However post the next lecture when I came out I couldn't see him.

This continued a few days until one day I saw him bashing a bunch of men outside the college premises only to be yelled by our Dean.

There seemed to be a fight while after the guy made a few calls our Dean patted his back.

After sometime we got to know the group of men tried to molest one of my seniors and Mahir had beaten them pulp.

I was impressed when I realised he's not just a pretty face.

I had slowly begun developing feelings for him!

That's when my friend Suhani warned me...

'Bela don't even think about it! He's already into someone else!!'

And that's when I was told about my college senior Ruhi Bhalla.

Ruhi was a snobby trash!

I was shocked when I got to know this guy was her boyfriend!!!

And that they are in a relationship for years now!

Ruhi and I had an argument on the freshers day event where I had participated in the stress interview round, although I was a sport just to put me down and show her seniority she asked me to say filthy stuff about our lecturers.

Her guts to say such a shit!!

In a function which has all the college lecturers!

I denied!

When she termed me a rat! And told me as a punishment I must kiss one of the senior guys!!!

I gave her back for her shitty games and also announced without fear on the mic that what she was doing, wasn't stress interview or funny!

It was ragging!!!

And many students supported me.

That was the day war was announced between me and my super senior!!!

She would never leave a chance to put me down and I would make sure to give it back to her in my own language!!

But one day all hell broke loose when probably one day she got to know I had a crush on Mahir from one of her puppy friends...

We had a huge showdown!

I don't know why she reacted such shabbily! She began with a silly topic about me showing off being a university topper which I never did! But the main point was she wanted to fight with me unnecessarily on her boyfriend's topic!

Sick!!!

She was so insecure!!😒

I never reached out Mahir! I never spoke to him. I wonder if he even knows I exist. It was a really dirty fight!

It was sorted out when our lecturer interrupted!

That was last!!!

I avoided Mahir Sehgal!!!

I felt cheap to be asked questions like
..
'Why was she trying to snatch Ruhi's boyfriend!!!'

I was made a tv serial vamp in their stupid love story!

Since then I would never look at Mahir.

Soon Ruhi graduated and I heard she left to Toronto for further studies.

I never knew anything about her breakup or the reason behind it!

But here!!!

I am with the man who was probably destined to be tied to me!

My trans was broken when I heard a

'Good morning'

Before I could analyze much I saw him rubbing his eyelids and stand next to me leaning towards the steel reeling of his bedroom balcony...

I mumbled a 'Good morning'

While I felt his gaze freeze at me.

I couldn't understand what happened...

Next second I realised I stood before him in my Lehenga blouse...
Without my dupatta!

My throat dried up 😳

Mahir's POV:

I opened my eyes to realise I slept leaning over the couch while I couldn't find Bela anywhere...

I slowly saw something reflecting on my face from the balcony. .

Only to realise Bela's lehenga had glass work on it which was reflecting sunlight and shining brightly almost blinding my eyes!!!

I slowly got up and made my way to the balcony and wished her a good morning...

While my sight froze looking at the heavenly beauty infront of me...

In a magenta pink Lehenga... Her skirt was below her belly button, her blouse giving me a good view of her toned midriffs and curvy waist...her blouse tightly hugged her chest...her long black hair locks freely flying in air...

A single thin waist chain passing by her belly button with a single pearl pendant hanging to it...

To add on her beautiful face which was completely pink as the sunlight and the reflection of her lehenga choli...

Only a blind man would deny it!

I was not!

I wasn't blind and I was a man!

She looked sexy!

My eyes couldn't help it but savour this beauty via my eyes...

My trans was broken when she called my name

'Mahir.... Mahirrrr'

And I was back! 

My face was flushed! She also looked Uncomfortable!

Shit!!! What a beginning!!! 😒

You must be given a bravery award Mahir Sehgal 😒🙄😚😐

'Ummm...I ....I will go and have bath... We....we must leave to Bangalore in an hour...' I said...

And she looked at me confused...

'Umm... Bela... We will only get today night and tomorrow Sunday to set up our new house. We both need to settle down. I am supposed to report back to work on Monday. Again after 2 weeks I have to apply leaves for Yuvi-Vish's wedding' I said.

Although it was us shifting from 15th to 21st floor. From a 1bhk to a 2bhk apartment. It was only both of us and we had to set up our new house.

I told her and she nodded her head.

In no time I went and took bath.

I dressed up in track pants and t-shirt. It's most comfortable while driving. It was approximately 8 hours journey including coffee and lunch breaks it would make it 9 hours. So if we leave by 8 ...with Bangalore traffic I expected us to reach by 6 pm.

Mom had packed some Pulao Salad, sandwiches for the journey.

My suitcase was packed while mom was confirming with me if I had carried the pickles, snacks, my clothes, laptop...

She usually does this as she knows how responsible I was 😂😂😂

I was still boarding the luggage into my car when I was left mesmerized for the second time in a day.

Bela was standing in front of me wearing a pink colored netted saree...

Her long black hair left open to fly freely

Her hourglass figure looking perfect in that netted saree ...

Again and again reminding me of our morning moment...

I was trying hard to not look at her...

But she looked beyond the word 'beautiful!'..

She was magical!!!

She took my parents blessings and boarded the car.

I took the drivers seat... she took the passenger seat next to me...

Our journey began...

Although I tried to control my eyes...it kept going back to her...

While the radio played one of my old favorite Ghazals by Pankaj Udhas Sahab...

Which I felt was perfect for what I felt right now...

🎵🎶

Chaandi jaisa rang he tera...
(Your color is silver)

Sone jaise baal...
(Gold like Hair)

Ek tuhi dhanwan he gori...
(You are the only one rich here)

Baaki sab kangaal!!
(Rest all are poppers)

🎶🎵

While my lips curved at the thought...

Indeed Sab Kangaal!!! 😂
