Narrator's POV

They back off from hug when they hear voice of clearing throat. As soon as they back off, all the family members hug bela one after other.

"Inn sabko bhi abhi aana tha kya? Achaa Khasa meri bela ko hug kar raha tha.. Huh!" Mahir thinks in his mind.

Rj observe mahir's dull expression.

Rj,"Ahm...Ahm... Lagta hai kisiko humare yaha aane se problem hai."

All the others chuckle on understanding that Rj was implying to mahir and he gets embarrassed.

Mahir,"Aisa kuch nahi hai."

Anu jumps in.

Anu,"Lekin Rj bhai tho aapke naam nahi liya na, mahir jiju.."

Mahir,"Wo wo actually.."

Everyone bursts out and bela thinks to tease him further.

Bela,"Ye kya hai? Aap Sab mere pati ko aise satha rahe hai?"

Mahir smiles but her next sentence makes him glare at her.

Bela,"Mahir sabke samne thodi bolega ki usko problem hai."

Bela's sentence makes everyone laugh even more and mahir goes out acting fake anger. Bela makes a sad pout and soon tears start rolling her eyes.

Bela,"Mah..Mahir.. kaha chale gaye?"

Mahir who was standing outside the door, on listening her sobbing voice, comes in immediately and sit beside her. He cleans her tears and cups her face.

Mahir,"Arey arey... Ro kyu rahi ho? Mai tho mazak kar raha tha."

Bela looks at him with puppy eyes.

Bela,"Aap gussa nahi ho?"

Mahir,"Bilkul nahi."

Mahir hugs her and starts stroking her hair. All the others leave to give some privacy.

Mahir,"Ye kya hai,bacha? Aisa koi rota hai kya?"

Bela raises her head,still hugging him.

Bela,"Mujhe laga aap gussa hoke chalegaye."

Mahir kisses her forehead.

Mahir,"Mai gussa nahi tha.. Next time se aise math rona.. ok?"

Bela nods and mahir smiles.

Mahir,"Good girl."

Bela,"No I am not good girl."

Mahir gets confused and bela continues.

Bela,"I am very very good girl. Bolo aap bhi.."

Mahir smiles and nod.

Mahir,"Ha baba tum very very very good girl ho..."

Bela gives a toothish smile and kiss mahir's cheek. They both hug each other and stay in same position for sometime.

Mahir,"Chalo tum rest karo. Mai abhi aata hoon."

Mahir was about to back off but bela hugs him more tightly.

Bela,"please don't go."

Mahir,"Mai kahi bhi nahi jaraha,bacha. Doctor ke paas jaake 2 mins mai aajaunga."

"Kyu doctor ke saath Maggie banaana hai?"
B

ela asks and mahir gives her a 'what-the-hell' look and glares at her.

Bela,"ok ok jaawo. Mai kuch nahi bolungi. Finger on my lips."

Bela puts finger on her lips and mahir smiles by seeing her antics. He goes out after kissing her forehead and making her sleep comfortably.

When he goes out, he sees that yuvi,vish,anu and a boy are talking. He looks at that boy with a question mark face.

Anu,"Mere would-be ko aise math dekho. His name is darshan."

Darshan forwards his hand and mahir shakes his hand with him.

Mahir,"Baaki Sab chalegaye?"

Vish,"Ha jiju. Humne unhe wapas bhej diya."

Mahir,"Good. Tumlog bhi jaawo. Mai hoon Bela ke saath."

Yuvi,"Are you sure,bhai?"

Mahir,"Ya I am sure. Mai rahunga bela ke saath. Tumlog jaawo. Nahi nahi mai abhi doctor ke paas jaraha hoon. Tabh tak yahi raho."

Mahir goes along with yuvi and darsh as they wanted to accompany him.

In Doctor's cabin

Doctor,"Congratulations Mr.Sehgal."

Mahir,"Thank you, doctor."

Doctor,"I will prescribe some medications, make sure she takes them.
Because of her head injury, she will get frequent headaches but I suggest not to give her any painkillers. They may have side effects on her."

Mahir nods.

Mahir,"Thank you Doctor. I will take care. When can I take her home?"

Doctor,"We will discharge her tomorrow. Let her be under observation today."

The trio nods and mahir takes the prescription.

Mahir bids bye to Yuvi,vish,anu and darshan after telling his plan. He goes back to Bela's room.

Mahir's POV

When I entered, I saw her sleeping peacefully. Without making any noise, I sat on the chair beside her. She is looking very cute. I was about to caress her cheek but she woke up suddenly with a painful expression. What happened?

"Kya hua,bacha?" I asked her sweetly.

She nodded her head from left to right.

"Nothing,mahir. I will go to rest room and come."

I nod my head this time. She was going with a slight difficulty. I tried to help but she denied. What actually happened? After some good 5 minutes, she came out with a sad pout and her eyes are puffy. Did she cry? I immediately went near her and hugged her tightly. I can sense my shirt getting wet because of her sobs on my chest. I picked her in bridal style and sat on bed with her on my lap. She is hugging me tightly and kept her head on the crook of my neck. I started stroking her hair to give comfort.

"Bacha,kya hua? Tum ro kyu rahi ho?" I asked her softly.

"Mahir, I am in my periods." That's why she was having difficulty while walking. Oh no, may be she is having stomach pain.

"Sanitary pad hai kya? Shall I bring?"
I asked being worried and she just nodded in negative.

"No. I have them." Her answer made me relax a bit.

"Are you in pain? Bohot stomach ache horaha hai kya?"
I asked her being concerned and she nodded with a pout. I must say, she is looking damn cute. I kissed her forehead. May be her pain will reduce if she eats something. However, it is lunch time.

"Bacha, you sleep here for sometime. I will go and order food for you."
As soon as I said that, she jumped from my lap and sat on bed by crossing her legs with a bright smile. Why is she smiling? Oh god! Her mood swings.

"Kaha se order kar rahe ho? Swiggy? Zomato?"
Her question made me dumbfounded. Is she really thinking that I will order from there. I was talking about hospital food.

"Koi swiggy or zomato se order nahi karne wala mai. I will go and inform hospital staff to prepare food for you."
Her face fell but she started smiling the next moment. What is she upto?

"Tho mujhe Roti,paneer butter masala aur umm... ha manchuria chahiye."
This wife of mine is crazy. Who eats all these when they are hospitalized? I glared at her and ofcourse it was absolutely fake. She again made a puppy face melting my heart.

"Please. I want to eat them. Please na."
Aww! How cutely she is asking. I so wanted to agree but I can't. Doctor mujhe chappal se marenge. I cupped her face.

"Bacha, we are in hospital,not restaurant. Mujhe doctor ke haatho marna nahi hai. Kal na ghar jaate hee, tumhare saare favorite dishes mai apne haatho se banaunga. Aaj ek din ke liye adjust hojawo. Please."
I explained and requested as a father who explain and request his daughter. No doubt, she is my daughter. My chotu sa baby.

She agreed reluctantly and I kissed her forehead,making her lips curve into a beautiful smile.

I ordered her food and it arrived soon. I made her eat while she is busy making faces and cursing hospital staff. She denied eating medicines.

"Chiii... Ye tablets gandhe hote hai. Mai nahi khawongi. Tum hee khawo."
Matlab hadh hai. Bimaar wo hai aur tablets mai khawo? Ye kaha ki rule hai?

"Chup chap ye medicines khawo."
I ordered and she turned her face other side being angry. Such an angry bird she is. I made her face me.

"Please have it."
This time I had to request. Bhai biwi ke aage koi hukum nahi chalega.

"Ok. But on one condition." Though I am apprehensive, I agreed. What will she ask?

"I want icecream."
Oh god! She and her love for icecream is never ending. I tried to convince but she is hell bent to eat icecream. Finally, I had to agree having no other option. I went to buy and when I returned, the view infront of me shocked me to the core. I immediately shouted.

"Belaaa!!!"

Don't think that mahir is over caring for bela. When we love a person after hurting them before, we behave the same.

I think I am writing cute. Am I?
