Mahir's PoV
"So Abhi bhai,  finally your girl said 'Yes', huh??? " Mann says patting Abhi bhai's back while it takes all my willing power to resist myself from ripping Maan's head off his shoulder.

She's MY girl, You bustard!!!!

"Yeah....for a second I thought she'd say 'No' yarr..." says Abhi bhai...the relief is evident in his voice.

"Ha....actually the both twin seemed quite down na...when they came first time, or was it just my imagination???😒" Ahana says.

"Every girl gets nervous on her this day, get it...so you people don't over-think this matter." My mom says.

Maan: Ha...mein to kehti hoon Abhi bhai ko to ek husne pari mil hi gaya...ab Mahir bhai aur Veer bhai app bhi booking dena shuru kar do...Sharma mansion mein abhi bhi do do package khali hein..😂

I brake the car hard making everyone bump on their front.

"Mahir!!!! What is this???" my mom asks me after cutting off her shock.

I bang my hand on the steering, "Tell your ladla to keep his fucking mouth shut.. It’s breaking my concentration!!!" I glare at Maan through rear view mirror.

"Language Mahir!!! Don't forget that you're talking to your mother!" Mami rebukes me.

I sigh in exasperation but say nothing. usually it’s Veer who would give a cold fight to everyone whereas I'd keep my composure. But today I just can't do this. Right now I cannot control the tornado running inside me.
For all these years I've been waiting for this day. That I would meet her...I would tell her that how much I love her..that her Romeo was not faking anything. But all my hopes got crushed under her one 'Yes'.😑

When she came down with that blissful smile on her face, for a moment I had forgotten that she was there for my brother and not for me. I saw her smile fading as she came near, the pain of betrayal was evident in her eyes.

The time Abhi bhai whispered in my ear, "Isn’t she beautiful???" that's when my mind came back to its sense. She, Bella Narayan Sharma was the girl my brother has fallen for head over heels!!! She is the girl my family has selected for my brother. My girlfriend, the love of my life sat right in front of me as my brother's dulhan!!!!

Everything inside me kept screaming her name as I continuously stare at her, but surprisingly she didn’t even look back for once. My Bella!!!! who would not spend a single day without seeing me once upon a time, now did not even pay a single glance!!!!  Does she hate me that much!!!!🥺

I wonder how could we not find them all this years when they were this close to us. My family kept asking them questions while I kept gazing her. I side glanced at Veer once only to see his gleaming eyes focused on one person present in the hall who literally pretended as if our side of sofa did not even exist. When Mamu asked Bella if she agreed to this proposal,  I was so sure that she would say no. The hatred in her eyes said it clearly that she would never accept this proposal. But then the swimming butterfly in my heart,  the pleasant moment of mine for finding her after so long years, it all died down with her reply.

I Don't know if she did this deliberately to burn me or if she has really moved on. But one thing I know if it’s the first one then this will not only kill me or my family....but also she's actually playing with her own life. And I won’t let that happen. Not. At. Any. Cost!!!

"You move, I'll drive." Veer takes off his seat belt and asks me to unlock the door. If it was some other day I would share my shoulder with him at his this condition. But today I think I need it more.

I get out from my seat while Veer sits on mine. He starts the car as I look outside of the window. The car going on full silence. Obviously Maan would not dare to utter a single rubbish of his when it comes to Veer. Those days are long gone!!!!

"We'll talk to them soon, Don't worry." Veer whispers in a way that only I can hear.

I nod my head. Yes we will. We Have To.

Veer's PoV
Right now we are standing at the Hailey Road, to meet them. To meet her.

After six years of yearning, finally I found her. Every single day without her was a life sentenced imprisonment for me. I kept breathing...eating... moving...only for this day...only in the hope of meeting her. The only solace of this meaningless life was to wait for her.
I cried....broke....got angry....again cried....cursed her for not listening to me....pleaded to the God to bring her to me...left everything....came back....but never gave up. Only for her. 'Cause she would never want me to give up.

There was a time when I was so broken that I actually thought of ending everything. My life became a total mess. I would fight with my dad, that I still do....make my mom cry....my family members were afraid to talk to me.... The house became a hell because of me. It was Mahir who would really understand me. He would secretly take me to psychiatrist to treat my depression. He was the one who encouraged me that I would find her....that one day she would understand my love. But till then I had to live...I had to be myself or else she would never forgive me for hurting myself...hurting my own people.

"You sure we did not get late???" I ask Mahir. Waiting has never been so torturing in these long years that it has been from the last 11 hours 35 minutes.

"Yup...it’s 9:00 ticking, the office hour starts at 10.. They'll be here at any moment." Mahir stares at his watch first then at the road again.

I don't know how she will react seeing us... Seeing me.
Last day was a hell shock for me. Not just because I saw her, but because of the look on her face. All these years I have imagined thousands of scenarios of us meeting, that she would ignore me....hate me....fight with me....but never in my life did I think that I would see her like this. Keya's word returns to me over and over again.... An emotionless zombie!!!

I saw how she was trying to fight her best for her tears though those rigid eyes of hers. She really did seem like a zombie. And it kills me to death knowing that I'm the reason for this transformation of hers.🥺

"They are coming, I guess." Mahir calls.

I stare at the front to see two scooty coming on our way. We both walk forward to draw their attention. The two scooty comes to a halt seeing us. Both the girls get down taking off their helmets. Bella looks at us first shocked then angry. As soon as I  see Bani's face, my face automatically spreads into smile. She's wearing a Purple kurti with jeans. In these years she's really transformed her looks. She looks elegantly beautiful, yet that innocent carefree little girl is missing in her. Thousands of emotions run through me. I want to hug her immediately but decide to resist myself as it is more important to talk to them now.

Bani looks at me with nothing in her eyes neither in her face. I look at those dull black sea and wonder if they were the same eyes I fell for once. We keep staring at each other while my face contorts in emotions whereas her face stays as still as it was before.

"Bella...." Mahir moves forward to talk to Bella but she points her finger to stop him.

"Don't come near me!!! Neither do I want to talk to you....nor I have any wish to see that bloody face of Yours!!!" Bella says fiercely, her eyes start pouring.

"Bella just listen to once....what you think...." Mahir again move forward to hold her hands but before he could touch her Bani throws a good punch on his face making him stumble backward.

"You fucker!!! Didn’t you hear what she said???" she kicks in his stomach making him fall.

I move forward to stop her but Mahir signs me not to interfere.

"You dare come near her...you bloody fucker!!!" she kicks him again.

"Bani....don't... stop.." a crying Bella tries to stop her but Bani just pushes her and returns to Mahir who's now falling on the ground.

"Don't stop me, Bella. This bustard sent goons after you!!!! You fucking asshole!!!  How dare you send goons to harm my sister, huh???" Mahir's whole face is covered with blood but Bani shows no mercy to him and keeps kicking blindly.

Bella again goes near her and tries pull her from him but that girl is not to buzz!!!

"Leave me, Bella!!! Why are caring for this street dog, huh??? Let me show him his true place.." her voice is so much raging that people start to crowd around us.

Next she again moves to hit Mahir. This is it!!! I move forward, grab her shoulder by force, bring her away from Mahir.  Just the second she balances herself and sees my face, her palm slaps my face hard. I feel a sharp pain with a sensation of blood dripping from the corner of my mouth.

"How dare YOU touch me with that dirty hands of yours, you bloody prick!!!!" she's literally shaking with anger.

I stare at her in utter shock. All these years I've craved for her touch....for her love. And here I get this slap as her first direct contact with me. It's not like she has never hit me. But this is the first time she has Hurt me!!!🥺. The back of my eyes starts burning as tears fights its way to come out. I can feel every cord of my heart ripping. This six years was a immense pain for me...but today's pain is different and more vicious.

Bella drags her away, "Bani..leave them..they are not worth it.." she says with a quivery voice.

I don't know if it’s Bella's words or my bleeding face that made her calm while the anger...hatred....frustration whatever it was in her eyes gets vanished and that emptiness is back.

She gives a one last look at half bleeding Mahir, "Once upon a time I offered my life to repay you 'cause I thought you saved her but Bloody Mahir Sehgal today I'm telling you, you dare come near my sister or hurt her, I swear I Won't have a second thought before killing you!!!"

Her voice was calm but the chillness of it runs down my spine. The twins get on their scooty and drives away from there. I go towards Mahir and pull him up.

"Let's go....get you first aid." I drag him to the car side but he stops me.

He removes some blood from his nose with his sleeves and says in a rumble voice, "She doesn’t hate you. She's just not letting her emotions out. It will take time but the wall will break. YOU have to break it. Only you can bring her out of the shell, Veer. Only You."

I don't say anything. More precisely I haven’t got anything to say. But yeah...I will not give up. All this days I didn’t fight with myself in vein. I'll bring you back to me, Bani Sharma.I Will.
