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

••••••••

He was miserable.... I didn't ever see him in such state.... When he was crying i could feel how close to his Pappy he must be.... That's why I thought he needs someone with him.... But when he told me about his family issues.... That was not expected.... It's not like I am judging.... But he doesn't even consider me his family then why? But he was not in a condition for cross questioning so I washed it off.... Then I felt he needs to eat in order to not spoil his health.... Then I just brought something for him.... When I saw him staring at the plate and not eating, I made a morsel and forwarded towards him.... When he wasn't opening his mouth, I asked him to.... I knew he will make excuses but before he could have said anything I made him have that morsel....

Just like that I made him eat enough....

But I was surprised when he made me eat too.... But I ignored that....

"Mahir, which room are you taking?" , I asked him....

"This room only....", I nodded to this and was leaving when he startled me by adding something to his answer....

"You can sleep on bed today instead of couch.... Lucky you...." , He added with a tired smile....

I turned to look at him and I smiled back a little and left....

But before leaving, at the door only I told him, "Do call me if you need something."

He nodded to this and then I finally left....

I went to his room and then I changed in my night clothes.... Then I thought he must also be needing to change.... So I took out a lower and a tee for him and went towards guest room.... I knocked and found it already open.... He was sitting there still.... I went in and put them on his bed.... And told him the same while again leaving....

Then I finally settled on my bed, that is actually Mahir's bed.... And tried to sleep.... But I just couldn't.... Thinking about his condition I just couldn't....

Two hours later....

After turning and rolling for almost two hours, I look at clock to check time.... It was 1:00 am.... I finally convinced myself in these two hours that I should go once and check on him again.... I got up and went towards kitchen first.... I made two cups of coffee, Because I saw him having midnight snacks or coffee often.... Also I know he could not have slept.... So I did this....

After taking coffee mugs, I went toward his room.... As I was having coffee mugs in my hand I couldn't knock, and I pushed the door slightly and entered the room.... It was dark.... I looked here and there for Mahir.... But he wasn't there.... I also checked washroom but again he wasn't there.... I thought about his whereabouts.... But then I guessed I knew where is he....

So I took took coffee and went to the terrace.... And as expected here he was.... As I opened the door I found him sitting on floor resting his back on a wall staring at sky.... And it was cold here.... So irresponsible of him....

I went to sit beside him.... Realising my presence he looked up towards me....

"What are you doing here?" , He asked as I was sitting beside him....

"Coffee?", I said forwarding him his mug....

And for a shock, he took that mug without even saying anything.... I guess I need to say something to break this melancholy.... Yes I can....

"I haven't toxicated it... You can sip it...." , I said with a chuckle... I hope he doesn't get mad at me for cracking this joke when he is sad....

"You are scaring me.... But I know you won't toxicate it.... Thank you", he said this after snapping his head towards me with a shock but later his lips actually curved into a smile....

I smiled back at him....

"How did you know that I can be here?" , He muttered....

"I knew it.... "

"How?"

"Um... Actually.... When I lost dad I used to look at stars every night.... So.... I thought the same...."

"Oh" , he just gave a small tired smile and started sipping coffee....

"Mom used to say.... That.... We can see in stars, our loved ones who leave us..." , He stated while looking at stars....

"Even dad used to say the same.... You too believe so?" , I question looking at him....

"I don't know....", He just muttered....

"What about you?" , He asked me after a minute of silence....

I looked at him and smiled a little.... Then I showed him a star.... On the left side of sky.... And said, "Can you see that star? The bright one?"

"Yes", he said while looking at that star....

I smiled back towards him while still pointing my finger towards that star.... And told him, "That's mom"

I thought he would laugh at me for this but he instead smiled at me and asked, "Where is dad? I mean... Your dad.... I mean.... Um... Uncle?"

I chuckled to this question and pointed my finger towards the next star beside the bright one....

"That's dad...."

I smiled saying this and I looked at him to see his expressions....

He waved at those stars saying , "Hello uncle and aunty...."

It just amused me and I chuckled....

"Where is Pappy?", I asked him looking at sky and then looked towards him.... His face fell a little....

After a minute of silence he pointed to a star at the right part of sky...

"I guess that star.... He is Pappy....", He told with a face devoid of expressions....

To make his mood better I questioned him further saying, "Why do you think so? That star is Pappy I mean..."

A small chuckle, escaped his mouth and he looked at me....

"You will find the reason funny....", He told.... To which I gave an amused smile....

"Why tho?"

"See... That star is surrounded by sattelites.... See those blinking lights near that star.... Pappy used to say that when he was young he was famous in girls, who used to fly around him all the time.... Which used to make granny jealous.... So I am considering those satellites as the ones who are flying around him and he is still famous...." , He answered this with amused looks on his face while narrating every line and then he chuckled too.... And I ended up laughing....

"See you are laughing", he complained while still chuckling.... To which I stopped laughing and gave an apologetic look....

"He is still famous....", I agreed to him while looking at that star.... To which he nodded looking at the same direction.....

Never have I ever had seen this side of him.... I have seen the jerk side more.... But this.... I am getting old Mahir back.... The one whom I knew.... (Please don't ask me how I knew him...)

"It's cold here.... You should go to the room...." , He told while putting the empty coffee mug down....

"Exactly, it's cold here... We should go to the rooms...." , I repeated the same words on him.... To which he rolled his eyes....

"I don't want to leave", he told....

"Then wait...." , I told him and took the mugs and went downstairs....

After a few minutes I came back to the terrace with a blanket after putting the mugs in sink....

"Why are you here again?", He rolled his eyes again after looking towards me....

"It's cold Mahir.... You will catch cold.... Take this blanket and then sit....", I told him while forwarding the blanket.... And thank god he took it....

Then I again sat beside him and we were staring at stars....

"You can consider taking a part of this blanket too.... It's cold...", He said after covering himself with a part of it....

"I am okay.... Don't worry", I said but my nose didn't agree to my answer as I sneezed at the very moment to which he glared at me with a serious look..... And without saying or asking anything he threw end of blanket's other side over me and wrapped it around me too....

"I said no I don't...-", I was telling him when he cuts me off....

"Shhh...."

"You just can't shush me-", He again cuts me off....

"Shut up Bela.... It's cold...."

And I choosed to stay silent.... We were staring at stars for a longer time while wrapping that blanket around us.... And I don't know when I passed out and was sleeping....
