Mahir's POV:

I couldn't handle the sight of that man in my house...

My past in the form of Aadi!

My present my daughter Muskaan

And my future...

My dreams that would be shattered by that little soul there...

I stood tarnished knowing Bela has a daughter of her own.

No!!!!

Can't be Mahir!!!

The woman who selflessly shifts her base back to India to take care of her sister's child how can you judge her like that!

I must talk to her!

I called her out...

'Bela... I need to talk to you' I said holding Musky closer to my chest...

While she was still busy talking to that little girl and Aadi who was smiling and talking to Bela...

A sudden rush of loneliness hit me!

I felt Musky move a bit uncomfortably in my arms... While looking at her comfort with Aadi and that kid was making me and my daughter feel left out...

Like ..

We were extras yearning the love from that woman who was now standing with her love and that child....

What if it's Bela's daughter 🥺😢

Will you be able to handle it Mahir 😢

Will Musky loose the warmth of a mother again 🥺

Will I let that happen 😢

No!!!

Never!!!

I won't let her go...

'Belaaaaa' i called louder...

This time she turned around...

'I need to talk to you! ' Although I began louder I ended up softly...

She nodded and started coming to me...

While the kid started saying...

'Nai na Sona pie don't go...

I missed you... I don't let my Sona go...'.

She told her that she'll be back in few minutes...
But the kid seems to be adamant...

'Sona baccha no....I'll be back soon' saying she took steps towards me and Musky...

Looks like the kid there started breaking into tears...

But so was I and Musky who was about to cry...I was cooing her...

Just then that kid started crying...

'Sona Maa...Chaahat missed you' she said...

That minute Bela turned around...

'Bacchaaaa' she said and ran back to her and hugged her tight!

🥺😢

Maa...

That word finished me!

I didn't have anything to talk further to her.

Next second I heard Musky cry loudly...

I took her to the bedroom...

While leaving i shouted...

'Bela... You were staying here because you are Muskaan's mom!

But today looks like you have very important people to handle!

Whom I absolutely would not tolerate in this house!

So simple!

Ask them to leave now!'

I shot her a glare and entered the bedroom!

My eyes were pouring...

Non stop...

I and Musky hugged each other and cried till eternity.

In sometime I heard a knock at the door.

But I was in no mood to go out!

She kept banging the door...

I kept pouring tears silently...

While Musky kept on crying loudly 😢🥺

Bela kept on banging the door...

'Mahir open the door... Musky needs me...' she was crying...

'No one needs you here Bela... Neither me nor me daughter!' I said...

Next minute the door banging stopped!

In sometime I received a call from Kuhu saying she will be coming tomorrow to India...

I was irritated! Why why...
Why....😣

I want to be left alone... With my daughter...
😢

I got a call from Suvarna ji'...I told him I'll meet the CEO of SG Group tomorrow...I lied saying I wasn't well.

To which he insisted I must attend the party atleast that was organised to meet the new investors and new sponsors for Gulmohar.

I agreed to attend it!

In sometime I realized Musky was hungry...she started crying loudly...

So I went out to get her milk...

While Bela quickly ran to hold Musky but I pushed her away saying...

'Go... Be with your daughter!!!'

She was shocked...

'Mahhhir'

'No Miss Sharma... I feel Mr Sehgal suites better from your mouth' I announced...

She looked at my eyes like she was trying to hold my emotions...

Before she could say anything I slammed the door on her face.

Next I opened the door when I had to get Musky milk..

I didn't eat anything from morning...

It looked like suddenly there was thundering and lightening...

It started raining badly.

I came out of the room all dressed up.

While I saw her come to take Musky in my arms...

But I didn't let her touch Musky and called up Mrs Adiga and told her to come home take care of Muskaan.

While Bela shouted...

'From morning you are doing this Mahir! Atleast tell me what is my fault!!! You didn't even dress your wound...didnt take medicine...whom are you punishing here' she screamed like a mad woman...

I kept Musky in her cradle..

She came to touch Musky again...

I pushed her away...

'She is my daughter too Mr Sehgal..I will complain this to Akki you can't stop me' she was DESPERATELY moving towards Musky while I pushed her in the force that she fell on the chair..m

While time was ticking 8 pm! Already...

Prologue - 3

It was thundering....

Lightening was playing peeka boo!

It was indeed a stormy night!!!

But the storm inside my heart was way more crazier than this!!!

My head was still aching!

Just then I heard a glass banged on my table.

'Drink it!' she said...

I shot her a look...

Everything came in front of me in one flash!!!

I wasn't able to take it longer!

I clenched my jaws!

'What waa that!' I asked...

'Turmeric milk...it will hel'

I got up in one swift motion and pushed her to the wall opposite to us..

'Mr Sehhhgal' she winced in pain...

I had crushed her arm in my palm.

I knew it was hurting her!

But today I wanted to!

'Hurts???' I asked...

'Stop it Mr Sehgal! What's ...w......rooooong aahhhh it'shurting what's wrong with you' she cried and winced in pain...🥺

Hearing her cry in pain...Musky also started crying but today Musky had to know her mom is getting punished. I didn't care if both the mother daughter duo cried! When she can't see my tears why should I see hers...

Musky's cry was reaching my ears but not reaching my heart today...

Probably because today her mother broke her father's heart into a zillion pieces all over again 😡🥺

'Mr Sehgal...I will compla'

I pulled her closer although my hand was paining like hell...

I engulfed her waist tightly with my hands and pulled her into my chest!!!

She was scared!!

I pressed her waist painfully tightly...

'Ahhhhh' she screamed!

I didn't bloody care!!!

'Go!!!!Get lost!!! Go complain! Who the fuck cares you complain or do anything but don't malign my name like you tried today....

I fucking have a reputation!

Go to that bastard of a man or anyone for that matter!!!

But not me!

You filth!!! Stay away from me...'

I pushed her back...

'And you kinda woman are those who are never happy with one!!!

One man isn't enough to satisfy your thirst right!

Ek mard kaafi nahi padta na tum jaiso ko Bela.... '

My voice cracked ....

She looked at me in shock...

🥺

'Again? Like really....🥺'

Her eyes were a pool of tears right now!

'H...How.....how can you think about me like that ....ma....Ma.... Mah...ir' she collapsed... Her voice shivered...

For the first time post our remarriage she called me by my name today...

Mahir.....

But see the irony...

I craved to hear my name from her mouth one point of time...we had kissing competition if she would call me Mr Sehgal or Mahirji... and now it tears my heart to listen my name from her mouth! It's like a cuss word!

'I haaaaaaate you Bela!!! I loath you😢 your sight disgusts me!!!'

I said...

While she got up...

Picked a crying Musky...hugged her tightly and cried nonstop and closed the bedroom door with a thud...

I fell on floor 🥺😢

'Wooow Bela...you hugged your daughter and relieved your pain... Who will relieve mine ... who'll hug me...

Iam a monster right 🥺😢

I covered my face with my hands...

'I hate you!!! I hate you more than my heart which still beats for you Bela...

I hate you Bela!!!' 🥺
