Bella's PoV
My sleep gets disrupted by a tender stroke on my jawline. Smiling through my frail sleep I snuggle more into the touch and try to dowse for one more time.

Must be Mummy☺
Wait....
Can't be Mummy!!! 😶
My door is locked!! 🧟‍♂
Then who's it???🥶
Thief....?(no way he would ogle you rather than doing his work)
Or a secret admirer😶...(idiot!!!)
Or worse...a ghost!!! (You made fun of Anabelle last night!!!🧟‍♂)

Hell Bella!!! Just Open your damn eyes and see it yourself!!!

I jerk open my eyes to see who it is. My brain imagined thousands of possibilities before sending signal to open my eyes, but the person I see right over my face was none of them.

Mahir😧!!!

I shriek a scream at the top of voice but no sound comes out as he presses his palm over my mouth. I can literally feel the size of my eyes while my mouth is still open against his palm...my voice is stuck at its cord.

"Shh!!!!....it’s me, your Romeo." Mahir whispers pointing at me to not shout.

I signal him to move his hand off my mouth but he shakes his head.

"First promise me, you're not gonna scream!" he warns me.

Do I look like a dork!!! Of course I won't.

I nod my head in positive and Mahir takes off his hand. I immediately let out a shriek scream which lasts for a mini-second only to be blocked by Mahir's grabby palm.

"Hell!!! Girl, I warned you not to scream😐." Mahir glares at me with big eyes.

I try to move him away from me but he holds me tightly with his other hand. Since I'm still lying on the bed, captivating me has been pretty easier for him.

I keep struggling while he says, "shut that scream first."

I quickly swallow my upright voice down my stomach. He lets me go and I quickly get up.

"WHAT..."... I stop myself from shouting and continue in whisper, "... What are you doing here???" I try to glare at him but part of me still doubting if it's a dream. No way Mahir can get into my room at this hour. And my door is locked from inside for SRK's sake!!!

"I came for you." Mahir replies.

"For me???" Definitely a dream.

"Nah...not for you. I barge into YOUR room at this hour to meet Disha." he sounds annoyed. Like seriously! even in my dream he has be a shithead!!!

"Why would you come to meet Disha??" this just does not make any sense.

To which he replies, "Well, since you're getting married to my brother, I don't stand a chance with you... So I thought why not try on one of your sisters. Well...I can't do that with Bani, since she's already taken by my another brother...., Now the only option I'm left with is Disha Sharma, you see...and she's quite pretty too."

He what!!!
Did he just say that!!!
He didn’t get me...so he's moving to my sisters....!!!🙁
Like what is it???
Couldn’t afford Chanel, so moving to Gucci!! 😕
And he calls Himself Romeo???😡

Dream or not I just couldn’t help my nerve and slap him hard across his face.

This is what Juliet should've done first thing when Romeo tried to flirt with her!!!
Then he would move to her sister!!
Oh just shut up!!!!

"What did you say??? You came for Disha?? You bloody asshole!!!" even though I tried to be concerned about my sister for this douchebag, but my mind involuntarily started comparing my look with Disha.

Is she prettier than me??😒
Duh!!!

"Why Ms Sharma? Jealous??" The way he smirks man!!

"Jealous my foot!" I say with as force as I can, "What are you doing here???" well by now it seems all is not dream after all.

"What does Romeo do at Juliet's yard at the middle of the night, huh?🤨" that git asks me back.

"Shut the crap, and answer my question😐." I snap at him.

Mahir sighs, "Well, I came to give you your New Year gift since you missed it last time."

Gift?

"First of all, I don't need any kind of thing from you, so buzz off. Secondly, how did you get in???" finally you asked it, stupid!!!

"Well, first thing you don’t have any option other than accepting my gift, secondly, you forgot to close your window, baby." he gives me a smug smile.

Of course I did!!!

"Get out." I point him towards the window, "unless you want me to call Bani up and lay you as her feast."

"Uff...Juliet. Stop being so unromantic. And beside your Hitler sister is now busy with my looser brother, so don't go all excited about making me her feast.😏" he smirks at me.

Oh!!! He came with his brother!!!
Mahir Sehgal, you surely have a death wish😏
Well, I'm not bursting your bubble though...
It's gonna be fun to see the live telecast🤫

Meanwhile Mahir strokes my hair off my face and tuck it behind my ear sending current all the way through temple corner to my neck.

"You look so cute while sleeping. All pouty-puffy!!!" he says smiling at me lovingly.  Or that's what I used to think as loving smile while we were in relationship.

"Wow...I'm so fluttered." I smile sweetly though my eyes shows the sarcasm.

"Maybe not today, but there was a time when you used to be fluttered by me, remember." He smiles at be bitterly.

"You done?" I look at other side avoiding eye contact.

"Only after this..." saying this he takes out a small wrapped box from his pocket and hands it to me.

"What is this?" I ask him confusedly.

"Open it na...." he urges me.

I slowly unwrap the box, careful not to tear the paper, then open the box.

Holy Hell!!!
He Didn't!!!

It’s a blue jewellery box inside which there is a platinum ring with exquisite white diamond adorning on top of it. I feel like my lungs have run out of air.

He Brought Me A Ring As A Gift!!!

A gift I would love to have from him six years back. But NOW 🥺. How could he do this to me!! He's the one who tricked me...broke my heart...and now he's here with a ring!!! Knowing fully well that I'm gonna be someone else's bride after few days.

"Mahir!!!..." I breath trying not to cry, "...Did you forget that I'm getting married to your brother?? How could you!!🥺" I don't get it. Is this some kind of joke to him or what!

To my surprise he smiles, "No Bella, I didn’t FORGET that you're getting married to MY brother..." he gives me a pointy look, "...but this is not something I got you for THIS New Year. I have it with me for the past six years...before you decided to come to my brother's life."

What does he mean?

He continues, "...this ring, I was planning to give you that 31st night but you didn’t show up. This was my surprise for you, Bella. I was hell planning to propose you that day but you Just ruined everything..." he says morbidly.

Untill the last sentence I was actually considering the fact that maybe he does regret what he did back then, but here he is, putting all the blame on me, huh!

"Well Mahir Sehgal, I'm really very sorry for ruining your foolproof plan of making me fool... Now what should I do to beg your forgiveness?? Fall on your feet!!!" I glare at him through my watery eyes.

Wiping my tears with his knuckles Mahir shakes his head, "No Bella, I'm not putting my blame on you. If anyone has to fall on feet, then it's me. I'm just asking you, will you ever forgive me?" he looks at me miserably.

I think for a second. Can I believe him? Well even if I don't want to, part of me does. But I still can't forget what he did to me. So I go like, "I don't know."

I expect him to get disappointed but this idiot grins at me saying, "Wow....that's a positive sign😄." 

That what?

And the next thing he does clearly unfolds me about what he thinks as a positive sign. He, Mahir Damn Sehgal slides the ring to my ring finger😳. And all can do is look at him with my mouth hanging open.
