Next Day

Bani looked at her best friend who was laughing happily, without any kind of fear or sadness in her eyes. She was glad her best friend was finally enjoying herself instead of walking around like a zombie. She was no more the bubbly girl Bani knew. She had turned into a completely different person. Bani couldn't help but sigh as she through back to the depressing days her best friend went through.

She knew Bela from her childhood. Bela and her were the kind of best friends who won't let go of the other for anything. The ones who used to pass the day with each other in serious and inconsequential chatter. The ones wouldn't mind washing up and dusting beside each other. They always had each others back. There were days when they would become a shoulder to cry for each other. They had shared everything in their lives. They had no secrets between them until Mahir came into the picture.

Mahir became the reason for her constant fights with Bela. There was a time when she hated Mahir. No, she was not possessive or jealous. Mahir and his friends didn't really have a very good profile in their college and she was scared that Bela would unknowingly fall in his trap and end up losing herself. She was just looking out for her best friend. Then things started changing when she and Veer started going out.

She started spending more time with Mahir and understood that he was not what the rumors potrayed him to be. Mahir turned out to be a great guy. He became a brother like figure for her, someone whom she could call at midnight and complaint about Veer. His place changed for Mahir to Mahir bhai. That one year not just her but Bela too had started being close to him. Honestly she didn't mind them becoming a couple. She was secretly hopping for them to end up together.

Everything was fine until the marriage proposal. She was shocked out of her wits when she came to know about it. She couldn't believe Mahir bhai would hurt Bela like that because she had seen the genuine love in his eyes. And it was her who encouraged Bela to meet him and confess her feeling but it too turned out to be useless. She, herself even tried to talk to him, make him understand but the mad was so stubborn in his decision.

She was so close to betting up Mahir for breaking her best friend's heart. If it wasn't for her Veer, she would have personally made sure that Mahir had landed himself in hospital. She was glad that Mahir bhai had finally decided to open up about his feeling and setting Bela out of her shell.

Bani stood near the window lost in her thoughts when she felt two cold hands slithering on her waist. With a gasp she turned around only to find her fiance standing behind her with a smirk on his handsome face. He moved more closer to her in a way trapping her in between himself and the window.

"Veer? what? No. What the hell are you doing here, Veer? And most importantly why the hell are you hugging me in the middle of the corridor? Veer leave me, anyone can walk in and see us like this." Bani struggled to free herself from Veer's tight grip.

"Bani, Bani, Bani, here I'm seeing you after a gap of whole twelve hours and you without any sympathy shooing me away from you because unknown people. Bani darling, if you forget let me remind you that I'm your official fiance and not some road side romeo." He complaint childdishly making Bani chuckle.

"Acha, sorry baba. I forgot. Thank you for reminding me." She replied sarcastically, pulling away from him.

"You are welcome" He said dryly. "Anyway, where were you lost darling that you even neglectled you only lovely fiance's presence? And don't say nothing because you don''t spend your time thinking about nothing in your best friend's wedding."

"I was just thinking about Bela." She sighed before looking out of the window.

"What about Bela?" He too followed her line of gaze and found Bela laughing and talking with her cousins.

"She looks so happy, so peaceful. The fast few months were literally living hell for her. We all were so close to loosing her and Mahir Bhai but I'm glad things are changing now." She whispered, not taking her eyes off her friend.

"Even me Bani. It was very depressing seeing your best friend and soul sister suffering. Glad we were able to find the truth before it was very late. But Bani amidst all this I'm still unable to wrap my head around the fact that the reason for Mahir's suffering was Rocky. Why would someone try to snatch their brother's love and make them suffer?" Veer asked her as he wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her towards his chest.

"Even I thought about it but well I don't know Mahir Bhai's family enough to judge the reason for his brother's behaviour but I'm glad we were able to stop his plans before he could really establish them." She sighed resting her head on his chest.

"Hmm" He hummed pressing a kiss on her head.

He was close to Mahir's family but he had never seen Rocky Bhai treating Mahir nor Yuvi badly. He was a very cool and supporting brother. Even their parents too have never differentiated the between the three of them. But he knew there was something, something he and the others were missing. And he was hell bent on finding the mysterious truth lying behind it because it is a matter of his best friend's life.

"Mahirji, what are you doing here?" Bela asked, getting inside the room locking the door behind her.

She turned around and faced her lover boy, who was looking at her with a wolfish grin. She shook her head with a smile. She went towards him and pulled him in a warm hug. He wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her close to him and buried his face in the crook of her neck, breathing in her enchanting scent.

"Mahirji we both will end up in trouble if someone finds us together in the room. Did you forget, I'm still your brother, Rocky's fiance." Bela mumbled buring her face in his chest.

"Shh Bela don't take his name when you are with me. The green monster is all ready to jump in and tear everything apart." Mahir whispered near her ears.

"Okay fine. I won't say his name but Mahirji what will you say if someone sees us now? We will surely land in trouble." Bela said as drew patterns on his white kurti.

"No one will wake in on us Bela. Stop worrying and start spend some quality time with your future husband." Bela buried her face in his chest as flush made its way to her cheeks.

"How can you be so sure, Mahirji and How even did you enter my room without anyone catching you?" Bela asked ignoring Mahir's last sentence.

"Well what to say I'm just too talented in these kind of things. Ok fine, Bani and Veer helped me sneak in and Veer is currently guarding this corridor to make sure no one is comming. If someone comes he will message me." Mahir replied honestly after seeing Bela's glare.

Bela broke the hug and looked at Mahir. She opened her mouth to say something but her words were cut off by her own laughter. She laughed looking at him like he was the funniest joke of the century making Mahir frown in confusion.He looked around the room trying to find the thing that was making his Bela laugh like an idiot. Bela paused her laughter for a second before laughing again making him sigh in despair.

"What is it Bela? Why are you laughing like a mad woman now?" Mahir asked.

"Mahirji your face- Oh my God!" Bela continued laughing pointing her finger at him.

Mahir's eyes widened for a second before he dashed towards the dessing table to check his reflection on the mirror. His body froze in shock as his eyes took in his form. His right cheek was smudged with termeric and his new white kurta was tinted with yellow termeric.

He gaped like a fish looking at his reflection. The click of a camera brought him out of his shocked state. He looked at the phone in Bela's hands with pure terror. Bela couldn't help but burst out laughing again looking at the innocent yet adorable look on his face.

"Bela, darling delete the picture." Mair tried to snatch the phone but was unsuccessful as Bela moved back, dodging him.

"Sorry Mahirji. You look so cute in pic so I'm not going to delete it." Bela said making Mahir pout.

Mahir signed. He knew Bela well, there is no way she would delete the picture. Seems like he is in for some embarrassment. He can already imagine Veer and Bani's expressions when they see the picture. Hell! He can already hear Veer's thunderous laughter echoing in his ears. Before he could sulk thinking about his fate another thought crossed his mind.

He looked at Bela with a smirk making her look at him confused, "Usually the groom's left over haldi is used for the bride but I guess we are in for a change. The groom is now using the leftover haldi of his bride." Mahir's words made Bela freeze.

Her cheeks reddened at his words. The colour infused cheeks dimpled with the blossoming smile and her eyes shone in a way that only deep happiness can bring. He couldn't help but be drown to her like a moth to a flame. She turned around to hide her face from him but alas it was no use. He caught her in his arms.

He cupped her face and without wasting a second he crashed his lips into her soft one. She stiffened for a second before giving in to the desire of her own heart. Their lips moved in sync against each other. Mahir kept his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him. His other hand cupped her face and his thumb was caressing her cheeks. She was pressed against his hard chest. She kept her one hand on his chest to balance herself.

Sparks flew out in every direction and the world around them seemed to dissapear. The kiss was slow and soft. The kiss said the untold words between them. She felt butterflies in her tummy. Her warm ones started moving with his cold ones. A small moan left her lips as his tongue entered her mouth tasting ever bit of her. It was pure bliss for both.

Soon they pulled apart due to the lack of oxygen. Slowly, Bela opend her eyes and stared into his dark brown eyes. His eyes were filled with love and desire for her. Mahir gently caressed her cheeks with is hand. She felt sparks ran through her body at his simple touch. With her cheeks still blushing hotly, she glanced at him. Both were breathing heavily due to the kiss.

"I love you,"

"I love you."

They whispered, looking into each others eyes. For a few seconds they gazed silently into one another's eyes and what had seemed impossible and remote suddenly became possible, inevitable, and very near. They saw their own beautiful future in each other's eyes. A future where they both were together and happy.
