Point of view: Mahir's POV....

••••••••

"Um... Mahir.... Can I please.... Um... Will you like to get a hug?"

What does she wants? I... I know that I need it.... But.... I know as soon as I will get one, I will end up crying in her arms... And I don't want that.... I don't want anyone to see me crying... I just don't want it....

Thinking this I started looking in other direction and again got the same posture to sit in....

I felt her getting up to leave.... And thank god she is going.... But then I heard a clicking sound.... Then I looked towards her to find her closing the door....

And then she looks towards me and again came to sit beside me....

"Won't you leave?", I question her with a glare....

"Cry as much as you want I don't judge... Also I know it's a tough situation for you since I have been through it already.... So.... I am sorry but I can't leave you alone.... You need someone just now....-"

I cut her off only to tell her, "I need nobody just fuck off please, I lack the energy to talk to you just now.... And.... Just go Bela before I hurt you with my words...."

I literally yelled at her and then I tightened my fist in anger....

When I still felt that she is not even moving I sat again in my same old posture and I started crying silently.... I don't care about her presence.... I am not weak but.... I miss you Pappy....

After an hour or so I become numb since I was not crying anymore.... I looked up towards her to find her still sitting beside me patiently.... I don't want her to see my vulnerable side....

"Why are you still here?" , I questioned....

"I am not going anywhere till I make sure you are okay.... Because I promised the same to Granny", she answered....

Granny.... Why? I am not weak and I can face this alone.... Why did you ask her to do this?

"And how will you make sure that I am okay?" , I snapped at her.....

"Hug...."

I rolled my eyes at her answer.... Why is she doing this? I don't know....

"So you are not going anywhere without doing that shit?"

She nodded in no looking at me.... And I roll my eyes again....

I close my eyes for a second and nodded for it while glaring at her....

She hesitantly got up and sat on her knees.... And then she spread her arms a little.... I moved a little and then she wrapped her hands around my neck and hugged me.... And I knew it.... The moment I will be hugged I will end up crying.... And my tears were coming back.... But I don't want to cry in front of her.... I closed my eyes to stop tears from coming.... She started rubbing my back and here I gave up.... And a sob escaped my mouth.... I was trying to stop myself but before I could realise, I was crying in her arms....

"Cry it out Mahir.... Talk to me.... You will feel better", she whispered while still hugging me....

And I lost my control over my grief.... I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her close and then I was crying bitterly....

"Shhh.... Cry it out....", She was still comforting me....

"You.... You know.... Pappy.... We been to.... Hh... His place.... He loved... Loved me the most.... More than everyone.... Bbb... Bela.... I... Lost him.... I just.... Lost him....", I told her between crying....

"He is there.... He is watching you"

"You know.... He used... Used to say.... That... I am his favourite.... And he used to.... Pretend like.... Like he punished mom-dad.... Whenever they.... They used to... Scold me...." , I continued....

I felt her hands rubbing my back.... And I was unable to stop crying.... I didn't know how much time we were like this with me crying but approx half an hour we spent like that....

"I am okay.... Bela....", I told her when my tears stopped....

She backed off then.... The moment she backed off I looked at her.... Even she was having tears in her eyes....

"You crying?"

"Um... Yeah.... Leave it...."

She got up to go but god knows why I held her hand to stop her.... She turned and looked toward me....

"You can share it with me if you want to....", I insisted....

She nods her head slowly and sat beside me....

"Mahir.... It's nothing like that... I just got reminded of my mom and dad... It's all okay...."

I was silent but then asked, "How old were you when you lost them?"

She looked at me with surprise....

"I was 2 or 3 years old when I lost mom.... Later.... Recently I lost dad.... 2 years back...." , She answered without facing me....

"So? You have someone? Like a family?"

The very next second I regretted this question because I was the only one who told her that she is trying to get in good books of my family or so....

"Yeah.... I have Mr Heston.... He is a father figure after that.... He worked for my company and still he helps me.... And... Yeah... The one who called that day.... She is my bestie but more like a sister...." , She still answered me....

"Vish right?" , Who can forget that incident....

"Yeah Vish..." , She looked towards me for a second before answering....

Silence followed then for few minutes.... We were sitting still leaning our back to bed's front.... I don't know why.... But I spoke up....

"Who told you about Pappy? I mean.... You were there...."

"Yuvi.... I called at home actually for some reason.... So Yuvi told me that"

"Pappy.... He was close to me.... I mean to all of us...."

"Yeah.... You told me", she said may be recalling whatever I told while crying....

I don't know why.... But... My heart is aching.... I want to share about Pappy with her.... I don't know....

"You know.... We have a history with Pappy.... It's.... you know.... A little personal.... Like when mom and dad..."

"If it's personal then please don't tell.... If you feel like sharing then only do....", She looked towards me as I was about to tell her this....

Again silence follows for a minutes before I finally decide that I can share it with her....

"You know.... I was just 5 years old or something.... When Mom and dad had some issues.... Basically.... Dad.... He.... Cheated mom...."

I started to speak up when she started looking at me....

"So.... They had a fight and they filed divorce too.... Then.... We moved to Pappy's place.... I mean mom and me.... So.... Then I was a kid so I didn't know anything whatever was happening.... So after sometime I got yuvi for the first time in my arms.... When I grew up I got to know that when we moved to Pappy's place, mom got to know.... That.... She is carrying yuvi.... Then... Dad asked us to come back to his place in few months.... And then we were again a happy family because mom genuinely gave him another chance.... And he prooved that he deserved it.... So.... This was the actual issue.... I remember our stays at Pappy's place.... Those were the best of days in my life.... I will miss Pappy...."

"Mahir.... He is watching you.... He is still here with you.... "

Again silence follows till the time she gets up to go....

"Eat something please, you haven't ate throughout the day...."

"Bela.... Please.... I am not feeling like eating at all...."

"Your health will be affected Mahir... Please... Have something...."

"Okay" , God knows why am I agreeing to her....

She went to bring something to eat.... And I didn't know what emotions was I facing.... When she came here to sit beside me.... I wanted her to leave.... Because I don't like to cry in front of people.... And now when I was actually crying in her arms and she left, I want her to be here only.... What is all this? And why is she being so nice to me?

"Exactly, why is she being so nice to you when you were a jerk to her.... Right?" , My sub-conscious is back....

"Please I am tired.... Don't mess with me just now...."

"I know.... I won't.... But please be with her.... Her presence is just enough...."

My sub-conscious was silent now....

She came with something to eat and sat beside me....

I wasn't feeling like eating at all so I ended up just staring at plate and I wasn't eating.... When suddenly she made a morsel with her hand and forwarded to me, I looked at her nodding.... For what is she nodding?

"Open your mouth Mahir....", She said....

I opened my mouth to refuse but before I could speak something she made me have that morsel.... And then she started feeding me with her hands.... Bela.... You are an Angel.... Hate in return of hate is a principle.... But.... There are very few who care for others in return of hate....

"You had anything?", I asked her.... She nodded in no....

I made a morsel too and made her have it, to which she looked at me with a surprised expression....
