Mahir's POV:

I must really learn to have a fucking filter to my mouth!

I just blabber shit!! 🙄

Since my stupid confession on training 'our daughter' came out of my mouth!

She's gone dumb and I have gone blind!

She's doing the kitchen work silently and I am chopping vegetables!!!

I don't know how many kgs beans and potatoes have I chopped since last 2 hours!

Finally she spoke a line...

'Mahir... dinner is ready'

And I nodded silently.

I don't have the guts to meet her 👀 eyes!

Dinner happened silently and we went to bed.

I left the bedroom door open in case she has to use the washroom.

I was deep asleep when I heard her mumble n trying to make strange voices...

I was shit 😳 scared! I mean I don't believe in ghosts but then the voices from her room were pretty scary.

I slowly pushed her bedroom door and was shocked to see... Moonlight entering her room via window

Her room was dark...but her face shining brightly in the moonlight...

She was making wierd sounds and trying to move herself but her body was too stiff!

It striked me!!! She's dreaming of something bad! Painful!!!

Is it Rehaan??? 🥺

I ran to her and tried to tap her cheeks continuously and she finally opened her eyes with a jerk and kept hand on her chest and tried to calm herself.

She was shivering... I felt bad seeing her like that...

I scooted closer to her sitting beside her bed and slowly lifted her head up and made her lie down on my lap and began caressing her hair...

She gradually relaxed...

Her twinkling black eyes shining more due to the moonlight looked more beautiful...

I don't know why I felt like doing it...but I bent and left a small kiss on her forehead and she relaxed a bit more...She smiled...

I looked at her face again and caressed her hair and she was still lying in my lap like a innocent baby...with those twinkling eyes...her pointed nose looked a tint of shiny due to her healthy glowing skin...I bent to leave a small kiss on her nose... I again pulled back and kept looking at her shining face...Her smile was gone and we both kept looking at each other's face innocently... There was moonlight, cold breeze and pin drop silence...

She bit her lower lip and kept looking at my face innocently...while the saliva on her lower lip made her pink lips shine brightly... I was already thinking about it since last 4 days...pink like strawberries...

And I love strawberries..

I don't know how why and when...

But I wanted to ...

I bent and my lips touched her lips...

One touch ...not even a peck...it was a mere brush of lips and she got up from my lap in one go...

I stood up from the bed realising my shameless act!!!

Shit shit shit!!!

What was I doing!!! I came to comfort her and here I was trying to ...

Shit Shit shittttttttttt 🤦

I went to the door and without even looking back to her I mumbled a 'Sorry'

And ran into my room.

I literally pressed my face into the pillow and kept banging my head into the pillow!!!

Mahir Sehgal!!! This is not a normal wedding!!!

It's a fucking compromise!!!

But ever since she's turned your wife!!!

It's not even 96 hours and you are sneaking into her bedroom and attempting to kiss her!

You've been gawking at her, day dreaming about ravishing her, whats wrong with you dude!!!

Urghhhh 😵

'Sleep Mahir...stay away from her...just stay awayyyy!!!'

I consoled my corrupted soul and asked it to stop thinking and sleep!!!

Just sleep!!!

There was an awkward silence on the dining table. Everything was silent and sober. She was wearing her saree although she wore a leather jacket over it...

'The weather is quite chill so..' she spoke broken lines...

And I only nodded or hummed.

She stuffed her mouth with omlette and bread which formed a cute pout and I kept looking at it while suddenly last night's kissing stunt flashed in my head and I literally picked the coffee mug and kept it on my lips...

But I hissed in pain as the coffee was too hot and happened to spill it on my shirt too...

'Shit...shit...' I cringed and got up while suddenly she came closer and helped me cleanup with tissues while she was suddenly too close to me...

Her fresh fruity shampoo hit my nose and I wanted to pull her into me and complete my last night's act...

Mahirrr.... Control!!!

And I just looked away...

'Its ok Bela...I'll change' I said and left to the room...

I removed my shirt and picked a fresh one and was buttoning up while I heard a knock at the door and I turned around to see Bela at the door...

'Come Bela... you don't need to knock' I said...

And she had brought a bowl of ice and a lip balm..

'Your lips and tongue must have burnt too... apply some ice and use this lip balm...' she said and I nodded...

But suddenly looks like my shirt button broke..

I left it like that...

It was anyways the top most one...

I was buttoning my cufflinks when I noticed her gaze on my shirt and my broken button...

She went to her room and got a knitting and stitching box and stood infront of me...

I looked at her and swallowed dry...

Don't tell me like a bollywood heroine she is going to stitch the button and we will have a eye-lock 🙄👀

Cheese extra overloaded!!!

To which she looked at me and said...

'Give me your shirt and wear something else...you are a team lead..not a road side Romeo that you go to work giving sneak peaks to women in your office 😏' she said...

Although simple lines! But the tone was quite possessive!!!

And I don't know why!!!

I kinda......... Liked it 🙃

I suppressed my laughter...

Removed my shirt.. while she was looking outside my bedroom's attached balcony...

I handed it to her... while I wore another shirt...she began to sew the button...

I looked at her...she was peacefully sitting on the swing in my balcony while I cleared my throat to gain her attention...

'Ummm Bela .. sha... sha... shall I drop you?'

To which she kept sewing the button and replied without looking at my face...

'Ummm No Mahir... I will take an auto' she said...

I didn't want to stress over it.

I opened my wallet and kept a card on her dressing table.

'Bela...this is your card... Please use it for house and your personal expenses... There is a lakh in it as of now. If in case you need anything more let me know' I said but I didn't get a response from her ..

It certainly was way too awkward between us after last night.

I didn't want it to worsen so I silently left to office.

***
I was congratulated by my colleagues who kept asking me for a party. They were cursing me for not letting them know or even invite them. I smiled and told them it was a small family affair but they insisted of giving them a treat. I agreed.

No one knew the circumstances I got married except my bestie Vikrant.

He patted my back and said...
'I must go home and that treat can be given some other day too'

But other colleagues were hell bent.

I called up Bela and informed I will be late. She hummed in response.

I took them to a buffet lounge where even drinks were served. I drink very occasionally. But today they forced me. I had 2 pegs and was already feeling heavy.

Vikrant doesn't drink so he drived me back home.

I thanked him and reached home. Whisky is never my drink..I'm a beer belly. I was feeling uneasy. I just wanted to eat something and go to bed as my stomach was burning. I hate alchohol.

I slowly opened the main door with my key and stepped inside...

I was dragging my legs towards kitchen when my eyes fell on the dinner table.

And I was shocked 😳

It was 12 am in the night and I saw dinner plates kept on the table. Food untouched and a tired Bela who had practically slept on the dinner table.

I thought of waking her up but her innocent face made me feel guilty.

Damn you Mahir..why didn't you ask her to eat ...she probably waited for you and slept on a hungry stomach.

Curse you !!!

I thought of waking her up again but she was lightly snoring...

I chuckled at that and scooped her in my arms like a little baby and made her lie down on her bed...

She seemed like a heavy sleeper. Too bad for a doctor I thought 🤣

I slowly moved to pick the duvet but next second I realised her nuptial chain had tangled with my gold chain...

Damnnnnn!!!

I began untangling it while I felt her hot breath on my cheeks and lips...

Her intoxicating fruity shampoo, her Jasmine perfume...

Her soft glowing skin... Her pink cheeks...

Her strawberry lips...

No no no!!! Not that one Mahir!!!

Behaaaaaave!!!

I began untangling the nuptial chain while I felt her baby hands pull me closer into a hug and she moaned...

'Vishiiiiiii.... I'm hungry na.. you stupid girl...you were again on call with Yuvi..i hate you... now come lets sleep' 😳😳😳

And next she pulled me into her chest!

Shit !!! Red Alert Mahir Sehgal!!!

Red Alert!!! Caution line !!!🚨
