Point of view: Bela's pov....

••••••••

We were having our moments when he came forward to kiss me after our misunderstandings were resolved. Because obviously I never wanted to get married before Mahir entered my life. It was dad who wanted me to get married and fixed my match with vikrant. But the heart wants what it wants isn't it? Mahir came to my life when I wasn't prepared for him. Like a storm. But stayed in my life like I definitely wanted him to be.

I started loving him. He started loving me. With these thoughts clouding my mind I realised that his lips are now hovering upon my lips caressing and kissing them softly. But something surprising happened.

I wasn't kissing him back.

He gasped too for a second with his eyes closed may be realising that I am not kissing him back.

Not like I didn't want to. But because I was scared. Scared of what it will feel like leaving those lips. Leaving that touch. Leaving him.

Because that is it. Our love let us leave each other but his guilt won't let us stay together. His guilt of marrying me forcefully.

The thing which is just fucking up with my mind is, that he is not understanding that it is the past. It is just the past which won't matter now. His guilt, again and again comes in our lives only to ruin things. Whether it might be our divorce agreement, whether it might be this Vikrant's misunderstanding, or anything else. It will come again and again. This fucking GUILT.

Mahir backed off only to looked shocked. I didn't kiss him back.

"Bela I am sorry. I know I fucked up. A bigger time. I apologise Bela.", He said with tearful eyes and while coming forward to encircle me in his arms, when I just put my hand on his chest only to push him back lightly, wiping tears off my face.

I know I might be overreacting. But trust me, that feeling of being left alone, by someone who means the world to you, that is enought to eat you up from inside. Mahir. Why did you make me feel that hollow? Why did you love me wild only to leave me at end? Why did you become world only to shatter it?

Enough! I can't take this pain anymore. I can't let him come close to me again only to hurt me again when I am not the problem but his guilt is. And his guilt will be.

Okay Bela.

Guards up.
Walls up.
Shield up.

I walked away from him and left the bedroom only to come in living room. I walked towards the main door with tears in my eyes. As soon as I held the knob of the door to exit, my hand was held by Mahir from behind and I was yanked back in a way that my back collided with his chest. We stayed still for a moment. I felt something warm running down neck now.

Tears. His tears.

"Bela. Don't go. Don't leave me please. Stay.", He said in between his sobs.

But no. I have to leave him now. For a better future. Where he will be with me, rightfully. Not because of some guilt. But because he has all the rights. He has to win me this time. He has to win my heart. Not to make me his. Because I am already his. But to make himself believe that I am his.

He trusts me more than himself.
Now he needs to trust himself.
He loves me more than himself.
Now he needs to love himself enough to not do any wrong to our love.
I trust you Mahir. I trust you.
That you will make your way back into my life.

Not immediately, but definitely.
So here is the end.
To our happy memories. And to our sad ones.
To our lazy late night conversations and to our early morning rants.
To our inside jokes and to the one who we didn't quite got.
To our hot coffees turned cold, and to our melted icecreams.

This marks the end.
And I hope this to be a new beginning Mahir.

Mahir.
I loved you truly.
I will miss you terribly.
But here I leave you lovingly.
For your own good.
For our own good.

I turned around to face him.

His eyes were swollen. Full of tears.

"Goodbye. Until we meet again Mahir.", I said giving a smile with tears in my eyes.

"Don't go Bela. Stay. Please.", He said sobbing like a child.

"That's what you wanted right? End of us. Divorce. Wait a second.", I said only to take sign the divorce papers which he gave me back then and then I kept them on nearby coffee table.

"Take care Mahir. Goodbye. Until we meet again.", I smiled turning my back towards him with tears flowing uncontrollably from my eyes.

As soon as I was step forward, his arms wrapped around my wait encircling me in a back hug while sobbing continuously.

"We will meet again. Bela. I am sorry. But will definitely meet again. I love you.", He said, still sobbing.

"I love you Mahir.", I said with finality in my tone. And gathered some courage to do what I had to.

I pushed him back and immediately strode towards the door, stepping out. And closing the door back and ran towards the elevator to leave.

If I had been with him for a minute more, I would not have had left. But I had to. So here it is.

Goodbye Mahir.

2 weeks later....

It has been a while.

Leaving him.
Leaving our house.
Leaving our memories.

As I looked out of my flight's glass window, I saw a couple walking towards the flight, having their hands interwined. The guy whispered something in the girl's ear only to make her frown and he laughed only to get nudged in his ribs by her elbow and both ending up laughing hysterically following the guy side hugging her.

They were so in love.

Even we were.

In love.

People often say that love is a slow poison.

For the first time, I am believing it.

With these thoughts clouding my mind, I looked away with a lone tear rolling down my cheek only to face my personal assistant Mary look at me with sympathy.

How I hate sympathy.

"Ma'am you okay?"

"Definitely okay Mary. Tell me the schedule.", I said only to make her chirp. Yes. She is one hell of a enthu cutlet.

"Ma'am since we already finalised deals with the Switzerland clients and here we are leaving Switzerland and going back to London, I fixed your meeting with Mr. Lee for your south asian deals. And you have a lunch fixed with Mr. James. And then a meeting with boards of your companies including Mr. Sehgal from Sehgal groups. And lastly a dinner meet with Mr and Mrs. Smith since they have been wanting to discuss a project with you.", She said all this in one breath but I could only focus on one thing.

Mr. Sehgal from Sehgal groups.

Mahir.

Yes. Since my company was bought by him once when it was getting sold, he is one of the board of directors with too many shares. At first, as my husband he used to attend company's meetings but now I don't know how will I face him.

I became silent once again and flight took off.

I just hope things don't turn out to be awkward and stay professional between us.

"Mary, you have to get ready few papers to let me buy shares of our company from one of our board of directors. I want to cut the ties with him."

"Ma'am with whom?"

"Mr. Sehgal.", I said with a pang of hurt in my heart.

"Are you sure ma'am?", She asked again with a sympathetic look.

She knows it too that Mahir and me are not together anymore.

In fact the whole town knows. Since we split our ways, it has been the talk of the town that we are not together anymore.

Since that day, in just a course of two weeks there have been many rumours in the media like, Mahir has been drowning himself in alcohol, or like Mahir was having extra marital affair, or like I was having extra marital affair or even like I was behind his money. All rubbish.

The truth is something what Vish told. That he is coping up well since that way. For a few days he was drowned in alcohol but then he coped up well, which is surprising. Mahir is not like that. He is not someone who gives up this easily and this is something surprising for me. Mom and dad called me a few times to ask about my health and whereabouts, even Yuvi did. But he didn't. He is silent. And I hope this is not the silence before any thunderstorm.

Mary repeated her question when she didn't get an answer from me.

"Ma'am are you sure? That you want to break professional ties with Mr. Sehgal as well?"

"As sure as I can be.", I said with finality in my tone and looked outside the window with a lone tear rolling down my cheek.
