BELA

"Bela..please control yourself,please",Vyom said giving me water.

"No..what just happened...what have I done?"I sobbed closing my eye's.

"Bela..we can sort this out.First you calm down",Vish said rubbing my back.

"What should I do Vish?What..should I do?"I cried hugging her.

"Babhi..please calm down.We can talk it out",Yuvi said.

"No Yuvi..I'm numb today.First..first K comes telling that she is pregnant with Mahir's child...and now Mahir..he...I..it's over",I cried.

"Bela nothing is over.We are sure K is lying,but you did a grave mistake in believing her so soon and accusing Mahir.But still there is a chance,we can talk it out with Mahir",Vish said and I sobbed.

"I don't know Vish.I..I don't want to believe it,but...I just..saw these files in our cupboard..and how can I not believe it when there are solid proofs?"I cried.

"Bela,we also got to know about their stay in motel,but we don't know what happened.So we can't jump into conclusions and believe K so easily.After what she did to you both",Vyom said.

"What did she do?"Vish asked.

I kept sobbing and wiping my tears,Yuvi and Vyom told everything about K and what she did to me and Mahir during that party.

"My God...is she a women?Why is she so obsessed with Mahir like this?"Vish said looking angry.

That obsession of hers created our destruction!

"And Bela...are you fucking out of your mind?I thought you believed K because of those proofs.But after everything she did to you both...you know she could stoop more low.Then how can you believe it Bela?"Vish asked with anger.

"What should I do?Me and Mahir..we both love each other so much..and when..when you get to know that your partner is cheat...I don't know how to react",I cried.

"Bela babhi listen,Mahir bhai is not a cheater.And K is lying,we will prove this for sure.You love him so much babhi,but why did this shake up your trust like this?"Yuvi asked defeatedly.

Because I love him,and a betrayal from loved one's shakes us up!

"He's been lying to me Yuvi,he's been lying about K,about Annu...making me more suspicious...what should I think?I have few valid reasons..but I stopped bothering about them and never asked Mahir again about them..and now..something like this",I cried hiding my face with palms.

"I told Mahir,I told him many times to tell about Annu.Not to us but at least to you...and today this got fucked up very badly.I felt like this would be coming",Vyom sighed defeatedly.

"And Mahir..he is..he is really her child's father?"I sobbed.

"Bela no..we don't know.I'm sure Mahir would never do such a blunder,he loves you and the whole world knows how crazy he is about you.He couldn't stay for three days without you Bela,and you think he would sleep with someone else...cheating on you?"Vish asked.

Mahir..please make this alright!

I don't have energy left within me to fight this.

"Bela I'm asking you one last time.Answer honestly",Vyom said and I looked at him.

"After being with Mahir for this whole year..you really think Mahir would cheat on you?And he is father of K's child?"Vyom asked.

"No..no..I don't believe it..I don't..",I cried and they all looked worried.

"Then why did you accuse him like that Bela?"Vish asked softly.

"I don't know..that situation..it shaked me up..I don't know...",I cried.

I looked into Mahir's eye's.He was hurt,more than me!

And I'm the main reason for that.

"I've never seen Mahir bhai this emotional..and that hurt in his eye's babhi.You should have think before talking in that situation,anger makes us do such things..which we regret",Yuvi said and I relate to it now.

Today my anger took over the situation,breaking our relationship!

"He said..he said he is going to K..he said he is taking her responsibility...what..what should I...",I sobbed.

"Bela,he said it out of anger",Vish said.

"No..he meant it...I..I want to talk to him",I cried.

"Bela..just give him some space,he will take some time.But be careful Bela,he is not good when he is angry",Vyom warned.

I know that.But I don't know how he reacts if he is hurt.Because now he is hurt,not angry.

My world crashed down like a plane...I myself burnt my own house today.

"And what does that K want?She is doing all this for what?"I sobbed.

"She is still obsessed with Mahir bhai,she is not able to move on,behaving like a bitch",Yuvi said.

"Yuvi..don't tell this to mom and dad.This should not reach to elders",I said.

"But Bela,they could help us",Vish said.

"No..no..my parents will also accuse him like me,even dad and Sumi maa also..I don't want to hurt him again",I sniffed.

"Then what to do now Bela?"Vish asked.

"It's all my fault...my life is over...she is pregnant with Mahir's child..she is saying it like that,torturing me emotionally",I cried.

"Not only you babhi,she is torturing even my brother.We have to look into this",Yuvi said.

"No Yuvi..don't tell anything to mom and dad..please I beg you..please",I cried joining my hands.

"Bela..no..we won't tell anyone..first stop crying",Vyom said.

"I..I..can't breath..I...",cried.

"Shh...first calm down..calm down",Vish said.

They took me to my room and I laid on the bed,
"Bela..just try to sleep for sometime.I will be hear only",Vish said caressing my head.

"No..I want to see Mahir..I want to talk to him..Mahirrr...",I sobbed weakly.

"Shh..it's OK..he will come back..you just try to sleep",Vish said.

My exhaustion made me drown into deep slumber.I felt like I slept for a long time.I saw Vish sitting beside me when I woke up.

"Vish..Mahir?"I asked.

"He will come back Bela..don't worry",Vish said.

"Yuvi and Vyom left to meet him,you relax",Vish said.

I looked at the time,it was evening.

I slept for so long?

"Vish..I'm fine now..you go home.You have to take rest",I told her.

"No Bela..I can't leave you like this",she said looking worried.

"No Vish..please,Vikrant must be coming back.You go,I will be fine",I said.

Vish left after a lot of requesting from me.I went to lobby and called Mahir.His number was coming off.

I threw my phone on the couch and cried,
"What did you do Bela?I don't know what Mahir has done..what K is doing?All are making me mad",I cried helding my head.

I took my phone and called my mom,
"Hello?"I heard my mom's voice.

I covered my mouth and sobbed,
"Bela...you there?"she asked.

"Yes..mummy..how are you?"I asked.

"I'm fine baby,how are you and Mahir?"she asked.

Broken!

"We are..we are good",I said.

"Bela..you crying?"she asked.

"No..no mummy..I was just missing you and dad",I sobbed.

"How far are we?Stop crying.See your dad has come,talk to him",she said.

"Bela..crying are we?"my dad asked.

"I miss you dad..",I sobbed.

"Should I come over?Me and mom?"he asked.

"No..no..I will come next Sunday to meet you both..you just take care of yourself",I sobbed wiping my tears.

"OK..what is Mahir doing?He came back from office?"he asked.

"No..he said he is on the way",I lied.

"Oh..OK,then take care and stop crying baby.Wait I will call Mahir and tell him to reach home soon",dad said.

"No..no dad,I said he is coming right?He is coming",I lied.

"But Bela..we know that Mahir is everything for you.Then why are you crying like this today?"my dad asked and I muffled my sobs.

He is right,Mahir is everything to me.

But today,I lost my everything!

"Nothing dad..just like that.OK I will call you later,please take care",I said.

"Take care Bells",he said and hanged up.

I want to let out this pain...but I'm not able to.

Where are you Mahir?

Please come back,I want to talk to you!

I'm really in a confused state of mind.Whom should I believe now?

Please Mahir..come back.

MAHIR

"Refill..",I shouted to the bartender.

He filled my drink again and I gulped the sour liquid in one go.Can't I just go and hide somewhere else?

I saw the time and it was evening.I grabbed my key's and hopped into my car.Driving in full speed.I stopped in front of K's house and started walking in,
"Sir..you can't go in now..mam is alone",the security guard stopped me.

"She dint tell you?I'm her child's father....",I barked walking in while he was trying to stop me.

I was stumbling on my feet,alcohol showing it's effect,
"Sir..please..you can't get in like this",he tried to stop me.

"I can..when I can get into her pants...why can't I get into her house",I walked dodging him.

"Please sir..",he pushed me and I fell down,feeling dizzy.

"Mahir..Mahir..",I heard K's voice and blinked.

"You idiot..who the hell are you to stop him?"K pushed her guard and walked to me.

I shaked my head feeling dizzy,
"Mahir..Mahir are you OK?Come inside..",she said making me stand.

"Leave me..",I shouted when she held me.

"Please Mahir..come inside",she said taking me in.

I couldn't stand properly on my feet due to alcohol effect.Having no other option I walked with her inside,
"Mahir..sit down..I will get some water for you",she said making me sit on the couch.

I looked around and looked at the ice cream bowl lying on the table,
"Mahir..drink this",she said giving me a glass of water,which I pushed.

"Pregnant...huh?"I smirked and she looked baffled.

"And that too..my child!"I said.

"Mahir..you are drunk",she said trying to held my face.

"Don't touch me..you filthy bitch",I spatted and she seem less affected.

"When I dint fuck you..and you fucked some other guy..how will this be my baby?"I asked,anger raising inside me.

"Mahir..this is your baby.I'm not lying.We both were drunk on the last day of our stay in that motel.I remember it very well..and we..we made love",she said.

"Making love my ass",I spatted.

"I have fucked you number of times before...but never made love to you.I only make love to my....",I stopped,tears pooling my eye's.

I only make love to Bela!

"Mahir..I'm not here to separate you and your wife..but our mistake led to my pregnancy",she said.

"OK..I'm a married man and still a manwhore according to you and my wife.But you are not a whore right?You are not a slut to open your legs for....another man..after being in a relationship with some other man",I asked and she hung her head low in shame.

"You said you are in relationship...you told that guy that I fucked you?You cheated on him...and pregnant with my child?"I asked.

"No Mahir..not yet,I dint tell to my parents also..I don't know how to tell",she sniffed wiping her tears.

"Stop wiping those crocodile tears",I said making her look at me.

"OK..leave that..I will ask you something.Will you answer honestly?"I asked helding her jaw tightly.

"Yes..",she said.

"Do you still love me?"I asked.

She sobbed and looked the other side,
"Tell me...do you still love me?"I asked.

"How can I forget my first love Mahir?I still love you and will always love you",she sobbed.

That's it,I got her game plan.

"So..so..you still love me.Even after me getting married".I said and she nodded her head slowly.

She still loves me!

"OK..since you are saying that..I'm this child's father...I will be looking after you,I will daily come and check upon you",I said and she had a happy smile.

"You...you are accepting our child?"she asked smiling,wiping her tears and helding my hands.

Not ours,yours!I wanted to say.

"I can't vent my anger on my own blood because of a filthy bitch like you",I spatted with every single nerve shouting hatred.

She looked hurt with my words.

"Mahir..I am bearing your child..you can't talk to me like this",she said.

"Only that child matters to me,not you",I said and she nodded.

"So..you will take my child from me?"she asked.

Your child will be with you and it's father,not me!

"There is a lot of time for it...first..I want to take you for a checkup tomorrow",I said and she nodded.

"Don't tell this to your parent's or your boyfriend.Even we are not telling it to my family",I said looking at her angrily.

"OK..I understand",she said.

"Then..what about Bela?When..when are you both getting divorced?"she asked.

I smirked internally.I was waiting for this.

"Soon,we applied for divorce the next moment you left.It will...it will take six months time..by the time of the child birth..we will be separated",I said and she was trying to not show her happiness.

Me and Bela are divorced emotionally !

"Mahir..I never had an intention to break your marriage..but..things between us happened",she said.

"Yes..I know that,things happened in between us.My fate for helping you..things happened.We fucked..it's OK",I said.

"I will come tomorrow..be ready..",I said stumbling towards the door.

"Mahir..careful",she said helding me.

"I said don't touch me...",I jerked her hand away.

"I'm accepting this child,not you",I said and walked out.

I will not accept someone's child and steal that father's happiness!

I was walking towards my car and saw that security guard,
"Next time..you try to stop me...I will..I will rip you",I said helding his collar and pushed him away.

I got into my car and drove,taking all possible shortcuts to escape from the media.I wiped my tears when Bela's words were ringing in my ear's.

Cheater!

Playboy!

Man whore!

K still loves me,she is doing this to get me.Break me and Bela.

She has set a perfect trap,which Bela fell for!

And the mistake I did is falling for Bela,who doesn't trust me,
"Why Bela?We were so happy together,why did you rip us both apart like this?"I cried to myself.

"My world revolves around you,I can't stay without you even for a second and you know that.Then why...why did you believe K?"I cried.

It was almost night when I stopped my car in front of an apartment.I parked my car and got down,stumbling on my every step,
"Open...",I was banging on the door.

The door opened and Annu was shocked looking at me,she just woke up from her sleep,
"Mahir sir?"Annu was shocked.

I walked in and hugged her,wetting her shoulders with my tears,
"Mahir sir..sir what happened?"Annu's voice was breaking when she was rubbing my back.

I cried,I cried my heart out hugging her,
"Sir..please..please don't cry..calm down..calm down",she said making me sit on the couch.

"Annu..I'm broken today..I'm shattered",I cried hugging her.

"No sir..please don't say like that.What happened first of all?Why are you crying sir?"she asked patting my back.

"Bela..she don't trust me Annu..I love her so much..she loves me too..but she..she don't trust me",I cried.

"No sir..that's not true..please don't say like that",Annu sniffed.

"This is the truth Annu...this is the truth..today..today she believed someone over me..she made me feel vulnerable",I said looking at her.

"Sir..what are you talking?Please tell me what happened first?"Annu asked cupping my face.

I told her everything that happened today.K's pregnancy and Bela's actions.

"Sir..we all know that K is lying.It's not true",Annu said.

"We all know that..but Bela?She thinks that..",I sobbed.

I never broke down like this in all my life!

"No sir..that situation made Bela mam say those words.But she dint mean it...please sir..don't cry",Annu sobbed helding me.

"No Annu..she wouldn't say all those words if she trusts me..she don't trust me".I said.

"No sir..this can't happen..no",Annu sobbed helding my hands.

"I very well know that K is playing around,I just got confirmed..I met her and came.She is doing all this to break me and Bela,break our marriage.But Bela..she fell in K's trap so easily,because she don't trust me",I said wiping my tears.

"Sir we know the truth,we will get confirmed this again.We will get her checked again..but you have to be strong sir.You can't break down like this",Annu said wiping my tears.

"What should I do Annu?You know..you know how you feel when our trusted one's hurt us",I said and she sobbed looking at me.

"I know..I know sir..but this is not true.Bela mam loves you,more than anyone in this world.Just that situation..she is your wife sir.She will feel inferior after knowing something like this,this is how our women's mind and heart is,so soft",Annu said rubbing my head when I sobbed helding her stomach.

"She thinks that I slept with K?Cheating on her?She called me a cheater Annu..she called me a playboy",I cried.

"Sir...your past relationship with K,that affected Bela mam a lot",Annu said.

"I told her everything Annu,everything including how many times I fucked K",I said with anger.

"And now I'm only hers..but she believed K so easily",I slumped.

"Mahir sir..listen to me,Bela mam believed you when K tired to frame you.She almost created a scene where you looked like a real cheater.But Bela mam believed you sir,without any proofs",Annu said and I looked at her.

"Yes sir,when she believed you without any proofs which we have,we could show to her.But she believed you without looking at them.And coming to today,she must have got intimidated looking at those medical report's.That's it,but she trusts you and love you sir",Annu said.

"But those medical report's.K showed me paternity reports too,which is showing that I'm that child's father.How Annu?"I asked.

"Sir..anyone could give those reports if we bribe them.It's not a big deal.And first of all,from where did she get your samples?If she has fake paternity reports with her,then science is much more ahead her.There are many ways to prove her wrong",Annu said.

"Yes I understand that.But how can she do paternity test when the child is still in her womb?"I asked.

"It can be done sir,and using her own trick of paternity,we will take her down.We will expose her",Annu said.

"We will expose her,I'm sure about it.But after what Bela said today..I don't know where our relationship will be leading to.We are over Annu.There is nothing left between us both now",I cried again.

"No sir,nothing is over..nothing.You and Bela mam will be back together,all normal.I promise you that",Annu said rubbing my back.

"I don't think so Annu..after what Bela said today,I'm broken.She broke me completely with her words and actions Annu",I said.

I told her everything how she accused me and how I reacted.

She was thinking something,
"Sir you said you met K.What happened over there?"Annu asked.

I narrated that story too.

"OK sir,I understood what we should do now.But why did you tell her that you are getting divorced?"Annu asked.

"She wanted to hear that from me.She want to break my marriage with Bela,that's why she has set this trap,this time a very big one",I said.

"OK sir..you are going to meet her tomorrow right?We will keep an eye on her",Annu said wiping my tears.

Annu's phone was ringing and she looked at me,
"Yuvi sir is calling",she said.

"Tell that I'm not here",I said sitting properly.

Annu nodded and kept in speaker,
"Hello..Annu",Yuvi called.

"Hello Yuvi sir",Annu replied.

"Annu..I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour.But did Mahir bhai come there?"he asked.

"No sir..Mahir sir dint come.Any problem?"Annu asked.

"Um..no,that Bela babhi called and she is crying.Bhai's phone is coming off since morning",Yuvi said.

Tears stung in my eye's again,just knowing that she is crying,making me also cry.

"I will inform you if I get to know anything sir.Good night",Annu said.

"Thank you Annu.Good night",Yuvi said and hanged up.

"Sir..she must be worried for you.Please go back to home sir",Annu said.

"You are drunk,I will drop you sir",Annu said and I got up.

"Sir,everything will be alright.We are in this together,we will not let K win this time.I will also see how she will break you and Bela mam",Annu said.

"Even if we prove that about K..nothing is going to become normal",I said in a low voice and her eye's watered looking at me.

Maybe she will help me in solving this problem,but she can't solve mine and Bela's problem.

No one can solve that!

Only me and Bela can solve it by talking it out,which I'm not interested in!

Annu drove towards my apartment and dropped me in front of my flat,
"Please take care sir,I will meet you tomorrow",Annu said ringing the door bell and left immediately.

She is still scared of Bela and thinks that Bela hates her!

I stood properly on my feet and the door opened.I saw Bela,who's eye's were red and puffy,face swollen,cheeks having dried tears,
"Mah...Mahir",she said.

I walked past her and she walked behind me,matching to my speed,
"Mahir..where were you..I was so worried",she said hugging me from back.

I feel like her touch is burning me.

I removed her hands from my chest and turned to look at her.She was clearly hurt.I removed a cigarette buck from my pocket and lit it in front of her.

When you really love a person,you just cannot move on from that.You can't just let that go,it's driving me crazy to stay away from her and avoid her.

She sobbed looking at me,
"Mahir...please we should talk..please Mahir",she said coming behind me.

I was puffing my cigarette and walked towards my room,
"Mahir...please...I'm sorry,please hear me out Mahir",she said helding my hand.

I jerked her hand away and stepped into my room.I took out the ash tray from the cupboard and butted the cigarette,
"Mahir...baby please..",I stopped her showing my finger.

"I don't want to talk to you..I don't want to...",I said removing my blazer.

"Mahir I'm sorry...I'm so stupid..I'm so sorry for it..please hear me out",she sobbed coming near me.

"I said don't talk to me..stay...stay away from me",I said and more tears spilled from her eye's.

I can't stay without her even for a second and now....

I don't want to stand next to her,I don't want to breath the same air she breaths.

BELA

I felt like Mahir is slicing my heart with some glass pieces.

"You..stay away from me..",he said and stumbled falling on the bed.

"Mahir..",I gasped catching him,making me hover on him.

A drop of my tear fell on his cheek and his eyes watered,glistening with tears.He has come home drunk,and started drinking cigarettes again.

He flipped us,pinning me on the bed and got up from me.

Now I'm not just missing his warmth,but I'm missing him in my every cell!

"Don't..don't get touched by this cheat..cheater",he said walking towards the cupboard.

He took out a blanket and removed his shirt,throwing it in the corner of the room.He took the blanket and walked towards the door,
"Mahir..where are you going?Mahir...",I walked behind him.

He got down the stairs and opened the guest room door.

My heart dropped to my stomach.

He can't stand me even for a second?

I walked in and saw him,he kept the pillows properly and slept on the bed,removing his pants,
"Mah...Mahir?"I called him in disbelief.

He opened his eye's and looked at me.He removed the blanket and came towards me,he held my arm and dragged me outside the room,
"I said stay away from me",he said in a low tone,his eye's were bloodshot.

When I said I'm shattered,not in the morning but now!

He slammed the door shut on my face and I slumped down on the floor,
"Mahir..Mahir..please open the door..Mahir please..",I begged banging my hands on the wooden door.

"Please Mahir..I'm sorry...Mahir..",I shouted,crying.

It's half past twelve in the night,he came home drunk.He dint even eat anything.He must be hungry,he is letting out my anger on himself,
"Mahir...baby..you love me right?How can you stay without me like this?Baby...please open the door",I cried beating my hand on the door slowly.

I don't have any energy left inside me,
"Mahir..please baby..I'm sorry,please..talk to me",I cried.

The only one person for whom I live for,I lost him.

I created this rift between us,not K.

I sobbed sitting near the door and I felt nauseated again.I ran to the nearest washroom and puked again.I washed my mouth and face and came back.

I sobbed looking at the guest room door.Mahir is sleeping without me in his embrace,he don't want to see me.

I drank some water and sniffed touching the door.I heard my phone ringing,I went and saw,it was Yuvi calling,
"Hello...",I sobbed.

"Babhi..Mahir bhai came back?"Yuvi asked.

"Yes..he came back..but he is..he is not talking to me",I cried.

"Babhi..please don't cry,just give him some time.He will talk to you tomorrow",Yuvi said.

"I'm not able to take this Yuvi..he is ignoring me",I sobbed.

"Babhi..should I infrom mom and dad about this.It's better if we infrom them before it goes far away",Yuvi said.

"No..no..Yuvi..don't tell anything to them..please..don't tell anything",I was worried.

"OK relax..calm down..I won't tell anything.But babhi please don't cry.I know about Mahir bhai,he will be alright by tomorrow morning.And he cannot live without you even for a second,so calm down.Everything will be normal tomorrow.Now please eat something and sleep",Yuvi said..

"OK..",I hanged up wiping my tears.

I have no appetite to eat anything,especially after looking at Mahir like this.

But weirdly I was feeling hungry,I drank some water and had one banana.I sat in our balcony looking at the sky.

Me and Mahir used to cuddle here,looking at the sky filled with stars,discussing about our future.

I ruined our future within a moment.

And what does K want from Mahir?Why is she back of him like a blood sucking leech?

She has done enough damage to our relationship,now she ruined our relationship.She is telling that she is pregnant with Mahir's child,and showing proofs with paternity reports.

Those could be even fake,but what about the motel accommodation paper's I saw?They are not fake and Mahir was also shocked when I showed them to him.

Why did he hide this from me?

He would have said it before to me,I would not doubt on him like this.

Now what should I do?

"Mahir..I love you...I don't want to believe K.But proofs are against you and my heart is with you...what should I do?Whom should I believe Mahir...whom should I believe?"I cried hugging my legs.

"I don't want to loose you Mahir..I don't want to...I can't live without you..please solve this Mahir..and talk to me",I cried hiding my face with my palms.

Fights are temporary and our love is permanent,I still believe in that!

I cried and cried and cried till my eyes were empty.His shadow is comforting me even in the dark!

My eyelids felt heavy and I closed my eye's,sleep engulfing me.
