MAHIR

I woke up with a very bad headache. I opened my eyes and looked around. I'm in my room,but something was odd. Then the realization hit me, I'm shirtless. I just hope I din't do anything wrong. I took a quick shower and went to the lobby holding my head. I saw Bela giving a massage to Mahira.

I asked her for a coffee and she gave me. But I observed one thing. She is wearing a saree. I know about her, she doesn't like wearing sarees. Then why suddenly?

We both together gave bath to Mahira. Polo aunty came and did a check up on Mahira, and she told Bela to give her dry nursing. I wasn't sure that Bela would agree for that. But I was shocked when she agreed. After Polo aunty left Mahira started crying and I suggested her to do as Polo aunty said. We went inside her room, I sat beside her completely turning to the other side.

Mahira started crying when she was not getting milk, I immediately kneeled infront of her to take Mahira. I saw her hooks were still opened and I immediately turned away taking Mahira. I came out with Mahira shaking my head to remove that scene from my mind.

"Is this girl a magnet or what"? I asked myself shaking my head.

After sometime she came out and sat infront of her system doing her work. I was first hesitant to ask but I asked her that did I do anything wrong and she replied negatively.
I held her hand and asked again to which she replied
"You ..you can trust me Mahir", and that's it. I lost it again.

"I don't trust anyone ", saying that I stormed into my room.

It's been a week since that incident and we both talk only while doing Mahira's stuff. Today the weather was good and she asked me to take Mahira with her to a walk. I agreed and she took Mahira in her baby bag and went. I was deeply involved in my work and forgot to check on the time.

BELA

I asked Mahir and took Mahira with me for a walk. I'm carrying her in her baby bag. The weather was so pleasent today,and it's just a hazy sunset in the evening. I was looking around the park, children were playing with their parents and that brought tears in my eyes. I looked at Mahira, she was looking at me with her big eyes.

"Mumma will always be with you my baby", telling that I gave peck on her nose to which she giggled.

I was lost in playing with Mahira, other children were coming and playing with her too. This brought a big smile on my face. I lost the track of time and suddenly checked my phone. There were 13 missed calls from Mahir. I immediately took Mahira and got into the lift.

"God please save me from his wrath today", I told to myself.

I opened the door and saw my father , Yuvi and Andy uncle. I gave a small smile to them. I saw Mahir. He was looking angry from his expressions.

"When will you learn how to use a  phone", he yelled at me. I flinched with fear. Yuvi came and took Mahira from me. I was going  to talk and he din't allow me to speak.

"If you are having a fucking phone, learn to answer the calls", he yelled again.

Tears already started to flow from my eyes. I looked around, all were looking at me. I gave Mahir an angry look and stormed into my room tears still flowing. I locked my room and started to weep again . This is the third time he yelled at me. He yelled at me for the first time out of concern and now it seems like a mixture of concern and anger. But it was more like he was angry on me.
I remember the time he yelled at me for the first time.

Today I was out with Yuvi and Vish. I asked my di to join but she told that she has some important work. Nowadays she is becoming too busy. I thought to call Mahir, but dropped that idea again.

Later Vyom too joined us and we were busy chit chatting. And Yuvi was telling me about his family and their bond with their mom.

"Umm.. Bela sorry to ask but, how did you manage without your mom", asked Vyom hesitantly.

"It's ok, there is nothing wrong in asking that,  I actually never felt that I don't have a mom. My di is more than a mother to me, she sacrificed a lot from childhood for me. So I never felt bad about it",I said looking at them.

"Really Bela, Bani di used to talk about you a lot, I was really excited when I got to know that you are joining here", said Yuvi.

"But nowadays she is not talking about you, she seems lost always", said Vyom .

Ok I also see her lost nowadays but never minded to ask.

"Maybe because I came here now and since you all can see me live, she is not talking about me", I said while laughing.  Everyone started laughing at my lame joke.

"Ok Bela, it's getting late, shall we leave"? Vyom asked.

"Ya you people get going, I will leave after a while", I said.

"Are you sure"? Vish asked.

"Yes my dear pataka, I'm sure you people can leave", I said muffling my smile.

"Belaa.., this Mahir is so dead", she said huffing in anger. We all laughed at her.

"Bela this area is not safe at this time, call me if u need any help", Yuvi said.

I nodded at him and they all left. I was working on my system and looked around. The cafe was empty and I checked the time, it's 8:30. I called di so that she can pick me up but her mobile is switched off. Hesitantly I called Mahir and his mobile too was coming off. I tried everyone's number but this damn network is giving me a trouble.

Since my home was in the next lane, I thought to go by  walk. I was walking holding my phone checking for network, but suddenly I heard some sounds of hooting. I turned around and saw a group of boys following me in a topless jeep. I looked at them and increased my speed.

They started to follow me and I was damn scared. I was trying my dad's number but this network sucks. I started running taking my heels in my hand without turning back. I was running and suddenly collided with a wall. Wait no, it wasn't. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Mahir standing in front of me.

I took a sigh of relief and looked at di who was worried. I saw Mahir fuming in anger. He took hold of my hand and pulled me towards him. Again I banged my nose on his rock hard chest. He looked at those boys and they were vanished within a minute. I was really scared and couldn't talk anything. I felt di tapping my cheeks and shoulders time to time. I came into the real world when I heard his voice.

"Don't you have a mouth to answer? Your sister is asking something", he yelled at me.

I looked at her and blinked my eyes. I hugged her immediately. She was rubbing my back. I was again pulled by him.

"For what you use this fucking phone", he yelled at me throwing my mobile on the ground breaking it into peices. I flinched at his action.

"Do you know how scared we were"? You just spoiled our...", he said and stopped in mid looking at my di. I looked at her, she was tensed.

"Bela, you could atleast call me na"? I was worried, dad too called me ", said my di.

I looked at Mahir. He was controlling his anger by closing his eyes and I heard him counting numbers. He opened his eyes and looked at me. He was normal now.

"Bela this area is not safe at this time, you could...", he said putting his hand on my shoulder and I jerked his hand stopping him in his mid sentence.

I looked at the other side and saw both di and Mahir's car parked . I searched for the keys in my sister's bag and stormed out from there.
I gave life to the engine and drove towards them. They both were looking at me shocked.

"Di, tell your friend that your mobiles are coming off and this area has a fucking network problem", I said with full anger and heeded towards my home.

I know I was rude, but I was hurt when he yelled at me. I started liking him I guess, and that's why it was painful for me. I reached my home and saw dad waiting for me.

"Bela,  beta where were you"? I was so tensed", said my dad taking me in a hug.

"Dad relax, I just had a network issue, so I couldn't call you", I said and remembered that Mahir just thrashed my phone.

"Where is Bani di"?my dad asked worried. I forgot that I left her alone with Mahir over there. How will she come home I thought.

"I am back dad", said Bani di coming inside.

"Next time be on time girls, your father is he'll worried ", said my dad hugging us both together.

"Bela, go and get fresh, let's have dinner", said my dad.

"No dad, I'm not hungry", I said looking at my sister and went to my room.

I was a bit jealous when I saw Bani di with Mahir and I'm angry on him for yelling at me. I took a shower and I was thinking about today's incidents. Di came inside with a plate of food.

"Bela, I'm sorry from his side, he was just concerned about you", said my di.

"Why are you sorry di ? He should be sorry for yelling at me without asking what happened "? I yelled at her.

" I know Bela, but you know we were really scared when we saw missed calls from you and when we called back, your mobile was coming off", said my di.

I was a bit confused about "WE", what does she mean by that? Were they both together?

"You both were together di"? I finally asked my doubt and my sister looked a bit worried now.

"I even saw your cars parked together over there", I said.

"No.. No..nothing like that Bela, I just met him while coming to you and he informed me that you called him too..", said di while rubbing her forehead.

I was still not convinced. I looked at her suspiciously.

"Just forget about it Bela, now have your food. And by the way someone is going to get a new mobile tomorrow ", said di winking at me.

"You already ordered it di"? I asked confused.

"No , not me. But the person who broke your phone", she said.

"I'm not going to talk to him di, just wait and watch ", I said winking.

She smiled and started to make me eat. This is what I love in her. She is not my sister, but a mother to me.

"Bela... I want to ask you something"?said di.

"Ask me di, from when you started to hesitate infront of me ", I said.

"Ok...what's your opinion on Mahir Bela"?she asked and I was confused.

"What do you mean by opinion di"? I asked covering my blush.

"I mean..what do you feel about him"?she asked.

"Hmm..he is good, friendly, helpful, loyal, trust worthy and so much to say", I said.

"Anything else"?she asked hoping for an answer.

"Di, can I tell you one thing"? It's just been two months since I met him, and I can say that his future wife is so damn lucky", I said.

"And why do you think so"?she asked.

"Di, he tells me a lot about his mother and by that I can say that he will love all the women in his life undoubtedly", I said blushing.

"Ohh", she said. And it suddenly hit me, why is she particularly asking about him.

"And di, why are you asking about him like this"? I questioned.

"It's just..just..nothing..Bela, I simply asked to know how is your bond with him", she said while stammering.

"Oh..ok", I said.

"By the way di, you are looking lost nowadays,  what's the matter"? I asked smirking.

"Who..me? No..no.. nothing like that, you are mad Bela", she said giving me a small slap on my cheek.

"Do you love anyone di"? I asked her. I was hoping she should not say Mahir's name.

"No..no..Bela, if I love someone I would tell you only first", she said. I was convinced now. Mahir and di are just good friends, and I thought bad about them.

"Ok..so let's see who is that lucky guy coming in future for my lovely di", I said while hugging her. She was blushing like a red tomato.

"Offo..my di is blushing", I smirked at her.

"Bela, it's enough now, just go to sleep, you have a long day tomorrow ", she said hiding her blush.

"Ok..Ok good night", I said and gave her a kiss on her cheek. She hugged me and left my room.

I was thinking about Mahir. When di was asking about him I felt like I was really lost in his thoughts. I'm falling for him. Deeply and madly. And yes I'm not going to talk to him tomorrow.

Next day I left to the collage and I was doing my work in library.

"Bela, we told you yesterday that it's not safe over there, and I asked you about dropping you"?said Yivu. I guess Mahir told him about yesterday's incident.

"It's ok Yuvi. By the way you came on a bike and you should also drop Vish, and Vyom left early, it's ok I'm fine now", I assured him.

"But I could drop you too on my bike", said Yuvi.

"You mean..thrible riding"? I asked.

"Yes", he replied casually.

"You know I hate thribles, not only that I hate something which is related to three", I said.

"Like"?he asked.

"Umm..like, if three people are besties, one will definitely be sad, and I hate love triangles", I exclaimed.

"Women, you are so tough", he said smiling.

Vish and Vyom too asked about yesterday's incident and told them that everything is fine. I dint see Mahir today. I decided to ignore him and he is not here only. He should come to me and I should ignore him. I smiled for thinking that way and suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Mahir.

"Sorry sorry..I was late, you can ignore me now", he said . I gave a blank look at him and started working on my system again.

"Bela..I'm sorry for yesterday, I was tensed about you", he said.

"Listen Bela, I have only one women in my life and it's my mom. I love her so much. I met you and I started liking you", he said and I looked at him shocked.

"Yes Bela, from yesterday's incident I understood your presence in my life", he said and my heart was running a marathone. Does he likes me just as I do? I thought.

"Bela, I never became so close to someone in a short period of time, and now you became my best friend forever", he said. I felt a little disappointed but atleast he likes me as a friend. Everything starts from friendship.

"Really"? I asked him.

"Yes Bela, it's true", he said putting his hand on my hand.

"From next time don't yell at me without knowing the reason", I said sternly.

"Ok..Ok.. I'm so sorry for that ok. See I will catch my ears for you", he said and started to do as he said. I laughed at him.

"And ya take this mobile as my apology my  highness", he said giving me a new mobile.
I accepted it and looked at him.

"Umm..Bela, I want to take you out today...will you come with me"? He asked.

I was really excited to go with him. I just see him in the morning and he disappears in the evening. I search for him everywhere and he is not spending much time with all of us these days.

"Ok sure, let's go", I said. We came out of the campus and he started driving the car.

"Where are we going"? I asked excited.

"Surprise", he said.

And he stopped his car in front of a big mansion. I guess it's his home. I came out of the car and followed him. He ranged the door bell and their maid opened the door.  We went inside.

"Where is mom"?he asked her whispering. I looked at him confused. The maid replied that she is in kitchen. He started moving towards kitchen and asked me to follow him. I followed him like a puppy as he said.

He suddenly hugged his mom from behind scaring her.

"I told you million times not to scare me from back Mahir", said him mom hitting him on his back. I started laughing.

"Ok..Ok..sorry mom, I promise not to do it again", he said holding his ears. He and his habit of holding ears.

"And who is this pretty girl Mahir", asked his mom looking at me.

"Mom she is Bela, Sharma uncles younger daughter and Bani's sister", Mahir introduced me to her.

"Hello aunty", I greeted her.

"Hi beta, you and your sister look so pretty just like your mom", she said caressing my hair.

"Thank you aunty", I said.

That day I spent the whole day with his family. They called my dad and invited us for lunch on next sunday for which my dad agreed. I was bonding well with his family and I loved his mom. Well she too liked me.

"You know beta, I always wanted a girl like you for my Mahir", she said making me look at her shocked.

"Oh..don't get tensed, I just said randomly. By the way Mahir is now going to complete his studies and join his dad's bussiness,so I thought to ask him about marriage", she said.

"But as usual he keeps denying that he dint get a right person", she said looking at me. I was trying my best to hide my blush.

"He told that he will give me a surprise on his graduation day", she said feeling excited.

"Oh..all the best for it aunty", I said.

I came back to my home and I was thinking about my conversation  with his mom. He said her that he will give surprise to his mom on that day but he dint tell me anything about it. I felt little weird.

I came back to my senses when I heard a knock on the door. I asked them to come in and Yuvi came inside. I wiped my face with my hands trying to look presentable. He came inside and sat infront of me. He saw something on my night stand table and grabbed it before I could.

"What the hell is this Bela"?he asked me with anger showing me the sleeping pills bottle.

"I...I...cannot sleep without them..", I said.
