  Narrator's POV

Bela and mahir gets married. Kuhu and vish takes bela in mahir's room.

"Enjoy your night my dear best friend." Kuhu says giggling.

Bela fakes a blush as she knows what's going to happen exactly. Kuhu and vish makes her sit on bed and goes from there. After 2 minutes, mahir comes in with a pale expression plastered on his face. He looks at bela who is sitting on bed, his expression changes to anger.

"You filthy woman. Get up from my bed."
Mahir holds her hand tightly and pushes her hardly making her fall on ground. Bela winces in pain and starts crying silently as her head hits ground hardly.

"Mark my words. I shouldn't see you around me. If you show your ugly face to me, you will be not spared. Now get lost. Sleep any where else. One more thing, if anyone gets to know my behavior towards you, I will see your end."

Mahir complete his words without mercy. He then goes to washroom without even looking at her. Bela gets up wincing in pain and takes a pillow along with blanket. She goes to terrace avoiding her family's eyes.

Bela's POV

I came to terrace and laid at a corner but sleep is far away from my eyes. I can understand mahir's feelings but I am helpless. Mahir, I will never let you know the truth behind our marriage. I am ready to bare all your torture for my whole life. I loved you, I love you and I will always love you. This ONE SIDE LOVER of your's will never let you be in tears.

I looked at my hand which has his red fingerprints. I caressed those fingerprints imagining his hand. Well, if anyone see this act of mine, they will conclude that I am mad. Yes, I am mad but only for him. I badly wanted to cry my heart out but unfortunately I can't do that. I will not cry, because if a girl cry, that effects her father before marriage and her husband after marriage. I can't let my mahir suffer. I just can't sit here with all this thoughts. The only way I have is, sleeping pills. I carried sleeping pills box along with me thinking it to be useful. I had 2 pills. Soon, sleep engulfed me.

Mahir's POV

When I came out of washroom, I didn't find her. Good for her. Though, I am happy that she is not near me, somewhere I felt that I am doing wrong. Shrugging off my thoughts, I went and laid on my bed, although I am unable to sleep. I tried hard to sleep but I think it will not work. I decided to go on terrace for some fresh air.

I went on terrace and finally I got some relief. I spent my time there until weather became cloudy and I understood it is gonna rain soon. As soon as I turned to go, my eyes fell on 'Bela' who is sleeping at a corner. Somewhere, I felt bad for her. I tilted my head ignoring my feelings. I was about to go but my heart and mind started quarreling.

"Mahir stop. It's gonna rain."

"Yes mahir it's gonna rain. Go in soon."

"No mahir. Please wake bela and take her to room orelse she will get drenched."

"No need. Let her suffer."

"Please mahir. Listen to me. Take her in."

In this battle, my heart won and I went near her. I tried waking her up but she is not getting up. That's when my eyes fell on the sleeping pills box behind her. Is she mad? Why did she take sleeping pills?

"Oh hello! Mr.Overthinker, first take her in." My brain don't have mind.

I picked bela in bridal style and took her in my room or probably I must say our room. I laid her on couch after closing the door.

Narrator's POV

Mahir laid bela on couch and sat on his knees beside her. He started staring at her beautiful face and got lost in her. He smiled creepily. He rest his chin on both his palms with the help of couch. He kept on looking at her. It was like, he forgot all his pain and his anger vanished the moment he looked at her innocent sleepy face.

Few strands of Bela's hair were falling on her face disturbing his stare session. He gently put those strands behind her ear and continued staring at her with his lips curved into a serene smile.

Sunrays falling from window disturbed mahir who was sleeping by resting his head on couch beside bela, holding her hand in his.

Mahir's POV

As soon as I woke up, I got shocked seeing my position. I released a sigh after looking at bela who is still sleeping. I again got lost in her beautiful face. I don't know what got into me, I gave a peck on her forehead and ran into washroom.

I am here standing in washroom where my heart is giggling and my brain is glaring at me.

"Why are you standing here? Go and kiss all over her face." My brain mocked me.

"It happened accidentally." I defended myself.

"Don't forget the fact that you couldn't marry the love of your life because of her."

I don't know why but I feel like there is something which I don't know. I agree she love me but she can't do like that to marry me. Shrugging off my thoughts, I freshened up and came out.

When I came out, I saw that she is rubbing her forehead. May be she had sleeping pills for first time. As soon as she saw me, she frightened and was about to get up.

Bela's POV

When I woke up, I got startled seeing my surroundings. How did I come here? Oh God! My head is paining. Just then, I observed mahir who is standing there. I was scared remembering his words. I was about to get up.

"Don't move. Stay there." His words made me confused. He came near me and I looked at him questioning.

"Don't move. Be here until I come."
This husband of mine is confusing me a lot.

He left. I just can't understand him. Why did he ask me to stay here? Did he go to bring stick? Will he beat me? Oh god! No. Please do something such that he doesn't get any stick. No no. Let him find stick. If he didn't find stick, he might beat with belt. While I am thinking all these, he came in with a tray in his hands.

Narrator's POV

Mahir came in with a tray containing a glass of lemon water after closing door. He sat on his knees infront of her.

"Wh...What are... you...doing? Please don't sit there like...."
Before bela could complete her sentence, mahir shushed her by keeping his finger on her lips. Bela was shocked will be an understatement. She gulped. Both shared an eye lock for 2 minutes. Mahir came to his senses and removed his finger being a bit embarrassed.

"Brush your teeth and come fast." Mahir ordered.

Bela raises her eyebrows skeptically.

"Quick." Mahir says sternly.

Bela nods and runs to washroom immediately making mahir chuckle.
After 2 minutes, Bela comes near mahir and sits on couch.

"You brushed within 2 minutes?"
Mahir asks and bela nods.

"Show your teeth." Mahir asks treating her as a kid. Bela shows her teeth to him and he gets satisfied on seeing them clean.

"Now drink this lemon water. It will reduce your headache."
Mahir's words shock bela as she is thinking how he got to know.

"Stop thinking and drink this."
Mahir hands the glass to her and she takes it like a obedient child. She makes weird expressions while drinking it which makes mahir chuckle.

"Yuck...chi..."
Bela exclaims but gets quite after looking at mahir who is glaring.

His eyes fall on the fingerprints which are on Bela's hand. He bends his eyes being guilty.

"I will leave."
Bela says remembering his words from previous night. Mahir denies and ask her to sit there itself. He goes near his cupboard and comes back to bela with first aid box.

"Mahir, what are you..."
Mahir doesn't let her complete.

"Be calm, bela. Let me do my work."
Saying this, mahir takes her hand in his and starts applying medicine on that fingerprints. Bela hisses in pain. He starts blowing air to soothe her pain. Bela was looking at him lovingly all this while.

"This is why I love you mahir. You are even caring for a girl whom you think  ruined your life." Bela thinks in her mind.

After applying medicine, mahir mouths a sorry and goes from the room. Here, bela starts dancing like a mad girl thinking that she got a moment with her mahir. She immediately takes her mobile and calls her bestfriend 'Anu'

On call

"Anuuuu"

"Ahh! Why are you shouting?"

"You know wh.."

"Why did you call this early? I was sleeping happily."

"Early? Is 8:00AM early?"

"Well, it's early for me. Now tell me why did you call?"

Bela tells her everything.

"I am so happy."

"For torturing you? Are you mad? Why don't you tell truth to him?"

"I can't and I won't. One more thing, no one should know whatever I said to you. It should be between us only."

Anu agrees, though she doesn't want to.

"Ok, but if he torture you again, I swear I am not gonna live him."

"Ok my dear bestie. Now bye. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye."

They end their call and bela starts jumping in happiness remembering her moments with mahir.

Whole day passes with bela enjoying their moment and mahir roaming in his cabin being confused.

At night, bela was waiting for mahir in his room as he is late. Mahir comes in room being frustrated because of his office works. When bela sees mahir, she goes near him with a glass of water.

"You came,mahir. Why are you so late?"
Bela asks handing him water glass but mahir throws it making the glass break into pieces. Bela looks at him shocked.

"Get lost from here."
Mahir shouts in anger. As the room was sound proof, no one from family were able to hear.

"Ma...Mah.."
Bela was about to speak but mahir pushes her hardly, making her fall on floor. Her palm gets injured because of glass piece and she starts crying in pain.

After hearing Bela's cry, mahir immediately looks at her and gets tensed by seeing her wound. Blood starts flowing from her palms. Tears roll down his cheeks. Next moment, he picked her in his arms and put her on bed carefully. He took first aid box which is kept on side table and starts cleaning blood from her palm after removing glass piece cautiously.

Bela is crying silently. Mahir bandages her palm and caress it lovingly. Mahir looks at bela with teary eyes. Bela takes her hand near his face and clean those tears with her thumb finger. She nods her head from left to right, asking him not to cry. He kisses her palm gently and bela closes her eyes feeling his lips on her palm.

"I will arrange dinner for you."
Bela says getting up but mahir stops her.

"No,bela. I already had my dinner."
Mahir tells and she nods. Mahir continues.

"Did you?"
He questions.

"Yes I had. Sumi maa insisted so."
Bela answers with a faint smile.

"Ok. I will leave. Good night."
Bela was about to get up but mahir stops her again.

"Where are you going? Terrace? Do you want sleeping pills box?"
Mahir questions raising his eyebrows and bela just bends her head having no answer. Understanding her silence, mahir continues.

"You can sleep here."
Mahir's words surprise bela and she immediately looks at him excited.

"Really?"
She asks and mahir nods with a small smile on his face. Bela grins widely but the very next moment, her face becomes dull. Mahir looks at her.

Mahir,"what happened?"

Bela,"I am unable to sleep."

Mahir,"Just lay down and you will sleep automatically."

Bela,"That doesn't work in my case."

Bela sits there sadly and just then mahir comes up with an idea.

Mahir,"Ok. Sleep in my lap. You will be comfortable."

Bela gets surprised+shocked+Happy

Bela,"Are you sure?"

Mahir nods and adjusts himself. Bela keeps her head in his lap and closes her eyes. Mahir starts stroking her hair. Soon, sleep engulfed her and she slept with a cute pout on her face.
