MAHIR

No..I can't!

I can't touch her,I can't touch her when I don't know what she feels for me.How can I?

I confessed my love to her and gave her time to express her feelings.I know she doesn't open up so easily but she is transparent.

She has feelings for me just as I have for her,why can't she say it?

I gave her enough time to feel comfortable,if not she would never respond to my touch.

She gets jealous when K hugs me or even talk to me,she does know why she feels like that.Then why can't she express it god damn it!!

It's been two weeks since I spoke to her properly,pretending to be busy.She tried to talk to me,hug me and even kiss me.But I avoided her painfully.

Yes..I'm avoiding her,but I'm doing it for us!!

It's Sunday today,we both were having an off.She was placing the breakfast on the table and I stood up to leave,
"Mahir..the breakfast is ready.Where are you going"?she asked.

It's not only me who is suffering since two weeks,even she was suffering.One night I heard her sobs.She cried to sleep that day because I was not talking to her,I've been avoiding her.

"I have some work,I won't be back by evening.Don't wait for me and eat",I said coldly wearing my jacket.

Hurt was clearly visible in her eye's,she was blinking back her tears,
"But Mahir it's Sunday..I thought we both...",I cut her off.

"I know..but I need to go.Lock the door and take care",I said wearing my watch.

Now a lone tear slipped from her eye and she wiped it before I could see.

I'm sorry Bela,I'm doing this for us!

She has to realize her feelings,I'm a man who expects his love to express.I need her love,I want her to be honest with me,expressing her love for me.

"Mahir at least eat,I made your favorite toast",she whsipered slowly.

"I will eat something outside,take care and don't wait for me",I said walking out of our home and she followed me in a hurry.

"Take care and please...come soon",she said controlling her tears,her eye's were glistening.

I walked away without giving a proper reply and it pained to do that.Walking away from her!

It's been like this since last two weeks,she tries to talk to me and I ignore her like an arse.She is hurt with my cold behavior.

I was the first one to make her feel loved and I was the first one to hurt her too!

All because to give a name to our relationship.Yes we are married for sure,but love and trust is the foundation for every marriage.

And I want to see that love!

Feel free to think that I'm being selfish.I'm being selfish for my love!!

It was very hard to resist when she spoke to me,hugged me or when she tried to kiss me.She rarely initiates a kiss and I ignored her brutally.

She must have feel rejected for what I'm doing since two weeks.But she has to find out the reason by herself.

I don't know where I was driving to,a tear slipping from Bela's eye..that image was flashing again and again.

It's been an hour,I was roaming clueless around the city just to avoid her.Should I go to Vyom's?

No..that bastard isn't talking to me like a highschool girl.I will deal with him later.

I will go and meet Annu.Our talk was pending regarding her panic attack.She said she will talk to me,she has to.

I drove to her apartment and was waiting for her to open the door,
"Mahir sir..you"?she was shocked,she dint expect me here.

"Can I come in"?I asked.

"No..I mean yes sir,please come in",she said giving me a way.

"How are you Annu?Are you taking your medications"?I asked settling on a couch.

"Yes..yes sir,I'm taking them",she replied looking down.

"We need to talk Annu.Will you"?I asked.

She nodded and was glancing at the door from time to time.What's wrong?

"Are you expecting anyone to come"?I asked and she looked at me immediately.

"No..no..sir..I was just..no one is coming",she paled.

Is she hiding anything from me?And she doesn't know anyone in this town expect my family,her maid who was appointed by me and our office employees as they are her colleagues.

"Sir I will be back in a minute,excuse me",she said and I nodded.

She hurriedly walked to her room and I was waiting for her.She came back after few minutes.

"Yes sir,now you can talk",she said and now she was looking relaxed.

"OK..Annu,first of all I'm sorry for Vyom's behavior towards you.I don't know what's wrong with him?But I promise you,I will never let anyone hurt you",I said and she nodded.

"I know sir..I'm still alive today..and that's only because of you..you won't let anything happen to me",she said.

"Yes and about Vyom..just ignore him.I know about him,he is trying to push you so that I could blur out anything,but I won't.And even if he tries to do a background check on you,he will find all blank.I already took care of that",I assured her.

I'm serious in this issue and I mean it!

"And can you please explain me?Why did you stop taking your previous medications"?I asked and she paled.

"Answer me Annu",I said and she looked caught.

"Did you purposely stop taking them"?I asked.

"Yes..I stopped taking them on purpose",she said tears glistening in her eye's.

Did I hear it correct?

"What?Are you serious?You stopped taking your medications"?I asked standing up.

"Ye..yes...I did",she said looking into my eye's.

"Why"?I asked feeling defeated.

She just can't stop taking her medications when isn't well completely.Why would she do something like this?

"Because..I..I..I'm..",she was finding words to utter.

"Why did you stop taking the medications"?I raised my voice and she flinched.

"Because I'm in love",she shouted and did I hear it correct again?

"What...what..are you...",she dint let me complete.

"I stopped taking medications because I'm in love...I'm..in..love",she cried.

******
Annu is in love!

She just confessed everything to me,she is in love?

I can't believe it,my mind isn't ready to take up what she told me.She narrated everything happened and I'm stunned,all blank.

I can't register what she told me.I just can't,and she knows about me and herself too.Then how can she?

Annu...love..is she serious?

It's almost evening and I'm driving,still thinking about her.How can she not tell it to me before?

I was drowning in her thoughts and dint see what was coming in my way,a huge truck.When did I get on a highway?

"Shit...fuck",I diverted my car when I was nearly going to hit it.My car took a cut and bumped into a huge tree,hitting my head to the steering.

What's wrong with the fucking air bags? Where are they?

I felt blood oozing out from my forehead and my phone fell.I slowly unbuckled my seat belt and tried to reach my phone,my vision was getting blur.My arm was hurting and it was difficult to reach out my phone which was just near my leg's.

I picked up my phone wincing in pain and dialed the first number I saw...I felt my vision blurry and I'm about to loose my conscious.

BELA

And he left again!

This is happening from last two weeks.Why is he ignoring me like I'm a contagious disease?

What did I do?

I talk to him and he replies back in monosyllables,I hug him and his hands doesn't wrap around me...fuck I even tried kissing him,he just backed off saying a fucking 'sorry'.

He isn't talking to me,he is coming home late,he isn't cuddling me to sleep and he is...he is ignoring me completely.

Did he stop loving me?

But I love him..I love him with my whole heart..he doesn't love me?

I wiped my tears and dumped the food in the bin.Please  forgive me for this God,it's wrong wasting food like this but..I'm sorry!!

I have no appetite to eat and sleep was far away since two weeks.I'm used to sleep in his embrace daily and I'm missing it very badly.

Why is he behaving so cold towards me?What did I do?It's clearly not about that bag incident,because it was sorted out with a angry and hungry kiss from him.

Than what's wrong now?

I took a bath and sat in the lobby,calling Vish,
"Bela?Bela..are you there"?she asked.

I just sobbed in response,I don't know what to talk,
"Bela...what happened..is everything OK?Are you crying"?she asked worriedly.

"Vish..I..",I continued sobbing and she was listening.

"OK..OK..calm down..yeah?Just..calm down",she said and I sobbed wiping my tears.

"Hello..Vish",I spoke.

"Bela..you feeling better now"?she asked.

I just cried it out!

"No..I'm..I..I'm not",I cried again and she was worried.

"Bela..first don't cry,please tell me what happened?Is your health doing good?Is Mahir fine"?she asked.

"Yes..everything is fine..I just..I'm sorry",I said wiping my tears.

It's a rift going in between me and my husband,I can't involve any third person in our matter.

"Bela..I know something is bothering you.I'm guessing something is going in between you and Mahir"?she asked and I nodded.

"OK Bela..just listen to me carefully,will you"?she asked.

"Yes...talk",I replied.

"Bela no matter what's happening in between you both,but remember one thing..he loves you.He will always love you",Vish said and I sobbed more.

"Bela please stop crying..and now I'm sure something is wrong between you both",Vish said.

"He is..he is avoiding me since..since two weeks..I think he doesn't love me",I cried out.

"What"?she scoffed.

"Yes..he is..avoiding me..and I don't know why..I'm trying to talk to him..but..he..",I couldn't complete as I broke down into fistful sobs.

"Bela..can I ask you one thing"?she asked.

"Yes",I sobbed.

"Do you love him"?she asked.

"What kind of a question is this?I..I..do..I love him",I squinted.

"Did you say it to him"?she asked and I paused.

"I..no..I dint",I said cursing myself.

"Bela you love him,and I'm not the one who should know it,it's him.He should know about it.He has every right knowing about your love and you are doing a grave mistake by not expressing it.

We know that you are not a type of person who express their feelings,but he has given you enough time.Don't think that it's unfair for him?Just say it to him and whatever is going on in between you...it will be sorted out",she said.

"Yes I know..but..I don't know..why Mahir is...",she cut me off in middle.

"Bela even he is a human with a heart,he has given you enough time to get comfortable with him.Now it's going to be six months of your marriage,think about it",she said.

And she is right.Completely right!

Why dint I realize?

And maybe that's the reason he is avoiding me?

"Vish thank you",I said wiping my tears.

"Don't you dare bitch,don't fucking thank me.Talk to Mahir and and sort it out babe",she replied and I smiled.

"Yeah..I will",I said.

I love her!!

And I love my man..my Mahir..I need to tell him!!

Just I was about to call him and I heard the door bell ringing,did he come?

I wiped my face and ran towards the door,I opened it and my face fell.It was my parent's,Mahir's parent's and Yuvi.

"Surprise",they all shouted and I was standing in a shock.

"What...we said surprise"?mom said and I smiled.

"No..I mean..how...come inside",I said hugging her.

They all came in and I was really surprised,our family is here!

"I missed you so much Bells",my dad said hugging me and I hugged him back.

"I missed you too dad",I sobbed involuntarily.

"You crying"?he asked coming out of the hug.

"No..I..was just..I missed you",I said.

"Bela..is everything OK"?my mom asked.

"Yes mummy everything is fine..I'm surprised,you all came to see me",I said.

"Yes..not only you,we came even to see our son in law.Where is our son in law"?mom asked and I paled.

"Yes Bela beta..where is Mahir"?Andy uncle asked.

"Dad that..Mahir..he said he had some work,he said he will be back by evening",I said fidgetting with my fingers.

"Bela beta,are you not eating properly?You look so pale",Sumi maa said caressing my cheek.

"No maa..it's nothing like that..I'm good",I said.

I've been like this since two weeks!

"Come on mom..Mahir bhai makes her eat with his hands daily,how will she not eat now",Yuvi said and everyone laughed.

Only if they would know!

"Wait let me call him,we all came for you both and that boy is not home"?Andy uncle said calling him.

"Weird,he is not lifting",he said and my heart sank.

Please come home Mahir..I want you!!

"We cooked all your favorite food today,I and Sumitra specially made these for you and Mahir",my mom said placing food on the table.

I just forgot about food,it's lunch time already.And Mahir?Did he eat?

"I..I really dint think about food..I was..I don't know..I will call Mahir,just a second",I said running to my room.

I got freshed and looked a bit presentable,I don't want them to know what's happening between us both.I just hope Mahir come's and handle the situation.

I called him and his phone was coming off.My eye's pooled again,why is he doing like this?

I wiped my face and walked back to lobby,
"Babhi,is he coming"?Yuvi asked.

"No..his phone is coming off,I guess he is busy",I said and everyone were looking at me worried.

"Oh..where did this boy go?He said he can't live without you even for second and he's not home since morning"?Sumi maa said.

He said that?

Poor me..I want him now!!

"Let's wait for him then,I made his favorite sweet too",my mom said.

"No mummy..it's fine,he said he will come back at evening.You all eat",I said setting the table.

"Now don't say that you will eat after he comes back",Sumi maa said and I looked down blushing.

"Aww..babhi..you are blushing",Yuvi said and now they all started laughing.

"Come on Bela he must have eaten by now,he is a foodie.He never misses his food.You come and eat",Andy uncle said.

"No dad..that's OK..I'm not hungry.You people eat",I said.

"Now don't talk non sense,come sit here",my dad said making me sit on the chair and all laughed.

"How can you miss eating when I'm here?Let your husband come,I will complain to him",my dad said mixing some curry.

Tears brimmed in my eye's,it's been days since my father fed me.And he wants to complain to Mahir?

Now he is not caring for me dad!

"Is it spicy Bells"?my dad asked looking at my tears.

"No..no dad..it's not",I said blinking my eye's.

"OK have some water",Andy uncle said giving me a glass of water.

Am I not the luckiest to get a family like this?

"Babhi..try this mushroom curry,it's so yummy.Uncle feed her this also",Yuvi said placing some curry in my plate.

I smiled chewing the food,my mom and Sumi maa were looking so happy,they all care so much about me.

"From how many days you are not eating properly?Did you look at your self"?my dad asked shoving another morsel in my mouth.

" Wait I will ask Mahir when he comes back,he is not taking care of her.See she became so thin",Andy uncle joked and everyone laughed.

"Dad..Mahir bhai is not the one who doesn't care about babhi,we all know how much he loves her",Yuvi said and everyone nodded.

"That's true though,my son in law is good.This girl over here is not eating and the blame goes on him"?my mom said making everyone laugh.

"Mummy"?I looked at her and she winked.

God..too much!!

"And that's like a good girl",my dad said making me eat the last morsel.

"Now time for this yummy cheesecake,open",Sumi maa said feeding me a cake.

"Mom..I'm full..I can't eat more",I whined.

"No..we just saw how you ate,now open",she said forwarding it to me.

I opened my mouth and she shoved in the little piece of came,I moaned at it's taste,
"It's yummy..so tasty",I said.

Everyone completed eating and we were waiting for Mahir to come.It's half past three,I can't wait anymore for him.

I went to my room and dialed him,and still it's coming off.And my tears are not ready to stop,I wiped my face and saw Yuvi watching me.I smiled immediately.

"Babhi..what's wrong?What happened"?he asked with a worry.

"No..nothing..I was just..something fell in my eye",I said rubbing my eye.

"You were crying babhi.What happened"?he asked.

"Seriously Yuvi..I'm telling the truth,I'm not crying",I said.

"You sure"?he asked.

"Of course..why would I cry"?I lied.

"Yeah..come let's go",he said and we went back to lobby.

"Why dint Kuhu and RJ show up maa"?I asked.

"Yeah..they are busy with Ruhi,they said they will visit you both next time",she said.

True though,with a little toddler,it's impossible to manage our time.And our Ruhi baby is naughty,she won't let us sleep in the night along with her.

We were randomly talking,waiting for Mahir and Yuvi's phone buzzed,
"Hey Vyom,what's up"?he spoke.

"What?When...where are is he now?I'm..I'm coming",Yuvi said with a worry.

"Yuvi..what happened"?Andy uncle asked.

"Dad..that..Mahir bhai met with a small accident",he said and my eye's widened.

"What? Accident?What happened to him"?Andy uncle said getting up.

"What...Mahir?Accident...how?Where is he"?Sumi maa cried helding Yuvi's collar.

"Mom relax..it's just a small accident,he bumped into a tree",Yuvi said.

"Relax..how can I relax..I want to see him",she cried.

"Yuvi..what..happened to him?How is he"?I asked,now my voice shaking and tears flowing freely from my eye's.

"Babhi..he is fine..I will go,Vyom took him to hospital,he is fine now",Yuvi said.

"No...no..I want to see him..I need to see him",I shouted running towards the door.

"Bela..Bela..wait..just compose yourself",my dad said catching me.

"Bela..wait,he is fine..don't worry",my mom said.

"How can I not worry..I want to see him..where is he"?I cried hugging my dad.

Everyone's eye's were brimming with tears,Sumi maa came near me,
"Bela..please control yourself..he will be fine",she said hugging me.

"Yuvi let's go..let's get him home.Did he hurt himself"?Andy uncle asked.

"Yes dad..a small cut on his forehead and a cramp on his shoulder,he is fine now",Yuvi said calling to someone else.

"I will also come..I want to see my son",Sumi maa said hugging Andy uncle.

"Sumi calm down,he is fine.We will go and get him.Be here with Bela",he said kissing her forehead.

"No..I can't sit back here..I want to..I want to see him..please dad..I want to see him",I cried.

I'm feeling like I'm loosing myself,I can't live if something happens to him.I want to see him.

Where are you Mahir?Why are you putting me through this?

"Bela..please calm down beta,he is fine.We will go and get him.It's just a small accident,I spoke to Vyom",Andy uncle said and I cried covering my mouth with my palms.

"Bela please don't cry,he will be back in some time.Everything will be fine",my mom sobbed hugging me.

"I want to see him..why can't you all understand"?I shouted collapsing on the floor.

"Bela..beta..he will be fine..nothing can happen to my son..he is strong,he will come back.Please don't cry",Sumi maa sobbed taking me in a hug.

"Maa..Mahir...",I cried.

"He will be fine,he is fine..he will be home soon,Yuvi..Andy..go and get him",she shouted.

"Yes mom we are leaving,you all please stay here.Dad let's go",Yuvi said and he left with Andy uncle.

I was still sobbing sitting on the couch.Why would he be so careless while driving,how can he be?

MAHIR

It was Vyom,he was on my speed dial.I called him and he came within ten minutes.

After listening to his cursing and cussing he admitted me in a hospital.There was a small cut on my forehead and a cramp on my shoulder.

"You bastard..how could you be so careless.Is this the way you drive"?he shouted sitting beside me.

"This bed is for patient,for me..move aside",I said pushing him.

"Fuck off",he said sitting beside me and I laughed.

"I will break your teeth if you laugh again.Did you know how worried I was?Bastard",he said.

"I dint do it on purpose Vyom,I was thinking something",I said.

I was thinking about Annu,her confession blowed my mind!

"Did you think about Bela?What if something happens to you,what about her"?he asked and I looked at him.

Bela!!

How would she react to this accident?

"I just informed Yuvi..they all are with Bela in your home.Just get fucked today",Vyom spatted with anger.

"You informed them?Why..they all will be worried",I said.

"Of course they will..Andy uncle and Yuvi are coming,they are on the way",he said and I closed my eye's.

"Where was your mind while driving?Were you drunk"?he asked.

"No..I was not drunk",I said.

Within no time I saw dad and Yuvi coming towards us,
"Mahir",dad hugged me and I winced helding my right shoulder.

"I'm sorry..did that hurt"?dad asked with worry,he was crying.

"Dad..I'm fine,just a small accident,don't worry",I said.

"Are you mad Mahir?Do you know how scared we were?Your mom is weeping over there.How could you drive so carelessly"?my dad scolded.

"I'm sorry dad..I'm really sorry",I said.

"And Bela babhi..she is unconsolable",Yuvi said and my heart pained.

"Thank you for reaching out for him Vyom",dad thanked him and he nodded.

"Let's get you home,mom and Bela are waiting",dad said and I nodded.

"Take care...bastard",Vyom said and I rolled my eye's.

It's just a small accident,why are they freaking out like this?I know they care for me..but..OK.I'm wrong here.I was not myself while driving today.

I'm scared to face my mom and Bela.And Bela..I've been avoiding her and now this accident to me must have break her more.

I'm sorry Bela!!

We reached our house and I looked at myself in the rare view mirror.A small bandage on my forehead,that's it.I'm all good other than that.

I'm scared to go in now..mom must be worrying a lot!

I entered in and saw Bela weeping hugging her mom,my mom and her dad were consoling her.My heart squeezed looking at her like this.

"Mom"?I called her and their heads snapped in my direction.

"Mahir",my mom came running to me,taking me in a hug.

"Mahir..oh my god..my child",she cried touching my face.

"Mom..I'm fine,it's just a small cut.I'm really fine",I said kissing her forehead.

"How can you be so careless while driving Mahir"?my mom said.

"Mom I'm sorry for it,I'm really fine",I said.

"Please be careful while you drive Mahir,we never know what comes in our way",Bela's dad said patting my shoulder and I winced.

Bela stood up looking at me,wiping her eye's.She is crying for me,she is crying so badly.She lost her glow,here eye's are swollen.

"I'm..fine..I'm fine..it's just a cramp on my right shoulder",I said and sat on the couch.

"Bela..get some water for him",Bela's mother said and she went in.

She came back with water and gave it to me,I thanked her and drank the water.She hasn't spoken a single word since I came back.

"Mom..dad..I'm fine.You all now go back and take rest.Please don't worry about me",I said.

"Go back?When you are not well"?my mom shouted.

"Mom really nothing happened to me,this is just a small cut and a small cramp on my shoulder.I'm all good.You all please go back and take rest.Bela is there to take care of me",I said.

Now it was half past six and after lot of pastering,my family was ready to leave,
"Take care of yourself and give me a call if you need anything",my dad said hugging me.

"Yes dad,I'm all good.Don't worry",I hugged him back.

"Please take care child,we all are leaving only because Bela is there with you",Bela's mom said and I nodded.

"Take care Mahir",my mom kissed my forehead and I kissed her back.

"Take care son,just give a call if you need anything",Bela's dad said and I nodded.

I saw Bela sobbing,hugging Yuvi,
"Babhi it's OK,he is fine now.Give him these medications",Yuvi said rubbing her back.

She should hug me and cry,not my brother.I'm jealous!!

He looked at me and patted Bela's back,
"OK babhi take care of him and you too",he said and Bela nodded.

Everyone left and I closed the door,I turned back and saw Bela.She was crying looking at me,I was about to go near her but she ran back to our room.

I sighed and walked back to our room.She was standing near balcony,crying.
"Bela"?I called her and she looked at me.

"Bela..I'm fine,please don't cry",I said going near her.

She walked to me in anger and held my collar,
"What the fuck you think about yourself? First you avoid me like I'm a disease and then you show up with an accident"?she yelled.

Do you have any idea of what I was going through?How worried I was,you won't tell me where you are going and then your phone comes off.Do you think it's a joke"?she shouted pushing me with her little fist.

"Bela..Bela calm down..I'm fine..I'm really fine",I said helding her hands but she swatted away my hand.

"Why are you doing like this Mahir?What if something happens to you?Have you thought about me"?she leaned against my chest and sobbed.

I rubbed her back calming her down,it's been two weeks since I touched her,
"I'm fine Bela..and please don't cry for me",I said and she looked at me.

"Don't cry for you?Then whom should I cry for?What will I do if something happens to you,where will I go?Do you think I can live without you"?she sobbed.

"Yes..don't cry for me..as if you care.It doesn't bother you right?What am I to you,crying for me"?I said these words painfully.

Only I know how pissed I am with my words I'm using against her!

"Why do I care? I care for you..I..I can't live without you",she said.

"Because"?I asked with a straight face.

"Because I love you",she said helding my collar.
