BELA

It's been two weeks since my last panic attack. Mahir is sleeping beside me with Mahira in between us. He is sleeping with me since I had my panic attack. I dint get them again. I called my dad and told him that I was not getting panic attacks since that day. He was happy and I informed Yuvi too. Today Mahir went to office and told that he will return in the evening.
I thought to clean the house after feeding Mahira and making her sleep.
I was going to clean Mahir's room and something striked me.

"Mallika didi, where are Bani di's belongings"? I asked.

"Mahir sir kept in his room Bela", she said.

I went to his room to clean and opened his cupboard. There were all Bani di's belongings. I touched them and felt like I was feeling her warmth.
I was cleaning the cupboard with care and saw a slam book. It was looking more like a photo album. I first hesitated to open it, but I wanted to know what is in it. They say curiosity kills a person.

"I don't want to die of curiosity", saying that I opened the album. The first picture I saw was nostalgic to me and brought tears in my eyes.

"I miss you Sumi aunty", I said sniffing. So this is Mahir's album. I thought to drop the idea of watching further but couldn't do that and I turned to the next page.

I know his bond with his mother. It must be very tough for him to be without her. I turned to the next page.

I saw Bani di's picture. He had loved her so much. She is lucky that she is Mahir's first love. Wiping my tears I turned to the next page.

I was shocked. My eyes were really popping out of their sockets. Mahir had even mine and his picture. This picture was taken on Vyom's birthday party. We had a lot of fun that day. Smiling to myself I turned the page.

Now this picture brought tears in my eyes. I remember this day. I and Bani di went for shopping. Vish too joined us that day. Bani di left in the middle telling that she was not feeling well. So she went with Mahir that day.
She spent her day with him that day and Mahir told me that he went out of station to meet his friend when I asked. Great. With a heavy heart I turned the next page and this brought smile on my face.

Oh my god. He still have this picture with him. This was our random selfie.  I always liked him clean shaved and di used to like his beard look. I turned the page.

Ok I know about this. This was on their date, on the day when he yelled at me for the first time. They both were together that day on their date. I spoiled their date that day.I was doubtful that day but shrugged it off. But I got to know about it when Mahir proposed di in front of our collage. Tears are flowing from my eyes. I turned the page.

This one was taken on first day of our cultural fest.

This was a candid of us three. Bani di was the one who clicked this picture.

I was confused looking at this picture. This was taken on second day of our cultural fest. Mahir requested me to wear red saree as he likes red. But I have this full picture with me in which Vish too was there. If she will see this pic, she will skin Mahir alive for cropping her picture. Smiling myself I turned the page.

Uff Mahir you are lucky. Atleast she is there in this picture. Yuvi clicked this picture. Everyone used to call us 'THE GOLDEN TRIO'.

This was taken on the last day of our cultural fest. I used to throw tantrums to wear traditional. Bani di, Vish and Mahir were literally back of me to wear traditional. Vish and Bani di did my shopping for cultural fest. I'm really amused that Mahir kept these memories in his personal album.

This was on some party at the collage. That day I ordered him to shave his beard but he was not affected by my orders. He became more possessive about his beard from that day. Of course Bani di liked him with beard so he kept it.

This was on the day when he proposed her in front of the whole collage. Ok they made a good pair.

It was from their wedding. She is looking so beautiful as a bride. This is the first picture of their wedding which I'm  seeing.

He and his obsession with red. I wore a red saree for him and Bani di also wore a red saree for him. This must be from their honeymoon. I personally liked this picture. They both are looking good together.

Offo! Mahir turned romantic. He is really lucky to get di as his wife and di is lucky to get him as her husband. I wiped my tears and turned the page.

Mahira. This was taken on the second day of  her birth. She got my sister's eyes which resembles mine and her hairs and lips are just like Mahir.

This was taken when Bani di took her in her arms for the first time. I couldn't stop my tears that day. That was the first and last time she held Mahira.

This was Mahir carrying Mahira. This picture was taken by Yuvi on the day when I got my panic attack. Yuvi sent me this picture next day. He told that Mahir dint left Mahira at all. I turned the page and it was empty.

Mahir burried all his memories of friendship and love in this album. He just buried me alive in this album. I know I was his best friend and he used to love me a lot, but he dint bother to tell me about his love for di. He proposed her in front of the whole collage. From that day even I became a part of everyone for him.

He used to share everything with me. Even his family matters, bussiness matters, everything. But dint bother to tell me about his love for di.
I asked him and di many times about them being in relationship, but they used to shrugg it off and it turned out something else. I never loved a man after my dad until I met Mahir.

When I used to be with him, it used to feel like I got a new life. He loved me like a best friend. I respected that even after he announced his relation with my sister. And as a little sister to my di, I did what I should do. They both cannot be happy when I'm with them, I know that. It's not their fault, it's my fault as I was madly in love with Mahir.

No one, not even Yuvi expected about Mahir and di being in relation. They too got to know about them on that day. But they knew about my feelings for Mahir, I dint share it with di because I wanted to surprise her. But she surprised me. Smiling to myself, wiping my tears I kept the album back in its place.

I was playing with Mahira on my lap and someone ringed the door bell. Mallika didi opened and someone walked inside. I was still when I saw that person.

"Vish", I said getting up taking Mahira in my arms. She was looking damn angry.

She came near  and took Mahira from me and gave to Mallika didi saying,
"Just hold Mahira for ten minutes, I need to deal with this women", she said pecking Mahira's forehead.

She came near me. I was going to hug her.

"Vish..", I couldn't complete and was awarded by a tight slap on my left cheek.
