Mahir: Haan ji, maine khana usi diet ke hisab se kha liya aur dabai bhi le li. Ap bilkul tension mat lijiye.

Bela says laughingly: Good boy, Mr. Bodyguard.

Mahir: Aj to ap ka dinner bhi tha na, wo, wo kaise rha.

Bela: It went good. Hum sab landscapes and areas ke saath saath baki sab bhi finalize kar li.

Mahir: Hmmm, accha, Asad is a good guy, know?.

Bela: Haan, matlab. He is quite easy to work, and he is so understandable also. Tumhe kya hua aise kyun pooch rhe ho.

Mahir: Nhi, yaise hi.
Ap dono bilkul ek jaise ho. Matlab ap dono ka choices ,kaam , thoughts, status I mean sabhi bohout hi similar hai, nhi!

Bela: Haan, hum kaafi ek jaise sochte to hai, isliye kabhi kam karte waqt problem nhi hota. Aur strangely hum kafi jaldi friends bhi ban gaye.

Mahir: Hmmm

Bela: Lekin mujhe yeh samajh mein nhi aa rhi, ki tum suddenly itna kya interest le rhe ho. main 1, 2 din se notice kar rhi hoon. Kya baat hai Mahir.

Mahir: Nhi, just as usual. Asad must be very...

Bela: Yeah, he is very friendly, and kind. I think tum sahi the. Wo tumhe waise to hurt kar hi nhi sakta. Wo to kafi sorry bhi feel karta hai us waja se.
Aur tumhe to main batana hi bhul gayi mujhe kal hi pata chala, pata hai wo abhi bhi India mein kafi sare NGO , orphanages, old age home ke saath bhi joined hai. He is really nice.

Mahir: Hmmm. Great. He is really Perfect.

Bela: Accha, ok, Abhi mujhe yeh sab bat nhi karni. Tum jaldi se thik ho jau. Aur hum hamara practice fir se start karenge.

Mahir: Ap to waise bhi bohout kam time pe bohot acche se sikh gaye ho. You don't need me anymore. You just need to practice.

Bela: Accha, Mahir. Please main ek baar jake tumhe dekhke aa jaun. Please. Pakka. Main uske bad wapas chali aaungi, tumhe bilkul tang nhi karungi.

Mahir: No mam. You must've very tired.

Bela: No, I am not. 2 din ho gaye, hum mile nhi...

Mahir: I need to sleep, you know. Mujhe thik bhi to hona hai. Jab tak apke pas koi apka khayal rakhne na ajaye.

Bela: I think, tumhara wish bohot hi jald puri hone wala hai. Kya pata koi sacchi mein aa jaye mere humesha ke khayal rakhne wala.

Mahir didn't say anything.

Bela: Ok. Now you sleep. Aur jaldi se tum thik ho jao. Good night Mahir.

Mahir: Good night mam. Sweet dreams.

Bela's Pov

I hanged up the call.

Yeah, sweet dreams about you. Kyun ki ab to tum hi hote ho, har jagah, mere khayalon mein ,sapno mein, meri heart mein, mind mein.
Main pahli baar apni birthday ke liye itna exited hoon. Kyun ki main apni dil ki baat finally tumse kah doongi. Phir tum humesha ke liye officially mere personal bodyguard ban jaoge.

Bela talks with his photo and drown to sleep.

Next day,

Mahir was waiting for her in garden area.

Just then Bela arrived and Mahir saw Asad drops her.

Mahir turned to the other side.

Bela quickly ran towards her.

She touches his forehead.

Bela in a concerned voice: It's still warm a little. Did you feel any pain, head ache or something?

Mahir: No, I am fine now. I am recovering.

Bela: What fine? Look at you. You look so pale and your eyes consist redness.

Mahir: It's because of fever. But trust me, I am much better now.

Bela: Please take care of yourself Mahir.

Mahir: Accha, ap abhi yeh sab choriye.

Bela remembers about Mahir's word that he wants to give something to her.

Bela  :Accha, do kya dena hai.

Mahir: Ap apna eyes close kijiye.

Bela: Okay...

Bela closes her eyes and forward her hand.

He gives her two boxes.

Bela opens her eyes and says,

Yeh kya hai Mahir.

Mahir: Ek chota sa gift apke liye.

Bela: Aur wo kis liye?

Mahir: Apka birthday gift.

Bela: Birthday gift?? Birthday to 5 din hai na abhi to phir?

Mahir: Hmm. I wanted to give you first.
Now open it

Bela: Okayyy.

She happily opened it.

It was beautiful chain and earrings set.

Bela mesmerized by seeing it: Wowwww! It's so beautiful Mahir... Kitna zyada khoobsurat hai yeh. I just love it.

She started show it closely.

Bela: Oh god, yeh to wo mall wala chain and earrings hai. Tumne kab li?

That day when ,Bela Amelia Arav Mahir went for shopping.
Bela was looking towards a earrings and chain. But Arav and Amelia drags her another section as it was made up of imitation of metals.
But Bela loves that ornament, it was just like her, simple, elegant and beautiful.
Bela didn't say anything as she never shows interest in shopping.

Mahir noticed that and next day he went to that mall and brings it for her.

Bela was touched by his gesture that he noticed her this much. He cares for her every feelings.

She took out out the earrings and wears it...

Bela: How am I looking..

Mahir kept looking at her.

Mahir: Accha, ek second yeh chain bhi pahnti hoon.

She tried but she can not lock it as she can not see the lock.

Bela: What are you looking at? Kab se try kar rhi hoon, help kar do na..

Mahir put her hairs other side, and lock the chain.

Bela: Yeh to bohut zyada khoobsurat hai...

Mahir: Yeh ghariyan pulse se chalti hai, ek apke liye aur ek mere liye. Aur ismein na gps bhi hai, Isse mujhe humesha pata chal jayega ap safe ho.

Bela got tears in her eyes hugs his tightly.

Bela: Thank you Mahir. It's so beautiful. I can't explain in my words what I'm feeling now. You make me feel so special.

She broke the hug and look into his eyes. She didn't understand the emotion she saw in his eyes. He just started at her like a statue with misty eyes.

Bela worriedly say: What happened Mahir? Is there any problem? Main notice kar rhi hoon tumhe kuch dino se,kuch to baat hai...

Mahir looks at the other side and say: You are thinking too much...

Bela went to her room only to see a grumpy Amelia is sitting on her bed.

She went to her and seat beside her.

Bela: Amie.

Amie frown and says: Don't talk to me.

Bela hold her ears and says: Ok, I am sorry. But it's really important...

Amie: Only 5 days are left to your birthday. And you are leaving!! What about those pre birthday plannings...

Bela: You are already celebrating it from past one month. I promise when I'll come back and make it up to you...

Amie: We have so much to do , your birthday, Arav's birthday, And what about your confession planning...

Bela: That is still on. I will confess my feelings on my birthday. I think, no I am pretty sure that he also loves me ...

Amie jumped on her and hugged her: Wow, Bela I am so exited, and quite nervous also.

Bela: Hmm, me too. But I am not nervous this time. I don't know I am confident this time. Or probably I trust him.

Amie: Aww Bells. I just can't wait.
& Listen, did you talk to Arav?

Bela rolled her eyes.

Bela: Not again.

Amie: No Bells. I am serious. I really want to join his office.

Bela: What's wrong with you? Your parents are leading their own business. So why do want to join as a accoutant? Mr. Wilson (Amie's father) definitely not gonna happy with your decision...

Amie: Noo. I already convinced him. I want to learn on my own.

Bela: Ok, then you can join my office.

Amie screamed loudly :Noooo.

Bela startled a little.

Amie: I mean. I just told you, that I want to learn on my own. If I join you then you will treat me special, as your friend. Which I don't want to be....

Bela: I know how to keep my personal life and professional life separate.

Amie: But I can not. I mean you know how am I? If I join you I can not concentrate on my work, and I will disturb you too. Please Bela, talk to him na, pleaseeeee...

Bela: Ok. I will.

Amie: please ,please plea....
1 sec, what did you say?

Bela smiles: I will talk to him.

She kissed her cheeks...

Amie: You are the best Bells. I love youuuuuuuu........

__________________________________________

Then Bela left for LA with Asad and other colleagues...

They personally observed the area and bought it.

Bela got so busy in her work. That she can't even call Mahir for once.  And surprisingly she didn't get any call from him. She missed him badly as this was the first time after meeting him, they are away from eachother.
Asad planned a dinner for her before they return to their city. But Bela says that she has little headache. They can continue later.

Bela called Mahir at night multiple times but it was switched off. So she called security manager and ask his whereabouts. She get to know that he went out for some time. She keeps thinking where he can go, then she remembers that Mahir said that Hunnah is in the town. She thinks that he must be with her. This make her upset. But she consoles herself saying that they are friends, they can hangout. Why is she behaving like this.she close her eyes but sleep was far away. Unwantedly her mind keep thinking about Mahir and Hunnah.

To distract her mind, Bela took out the violin and started playing it. She closed her eyes and remembers their moments in music room. A smile appears in her lips. Then all their moments started flashing Infront of her closed eyes. Her heart warms with the feelings.

She opened her eyes and goes back to her bed. She opened her gallery and talk to his picture.

Oh my god. Itna zyada pyar kab ho gya tumse. I am deeply, madly love with you Mr. Bodyguard. I love you more than anything else in the world and beyond. I trust you more than myself. I respect you like my mom, dad and bhai. I am behaving like crazy. It's been only 3 days, but seems like we didn't meet for years.
Bela got tears in her eyes.

Dekha tumne, kaise ho gyi hoon. Bat bat pe emotional ho jati hoon, baat baat pe ro padti hoon.
I am completely changed. You changed me and I want to change for you more. I thought I am heartless, I have a stone instead. You have awakened my heart. And I know you will never break it.

I love you.

Then she drifted off and Keep Mahir's picture near her heart.

Birthday night,

It's 12 pm and there was a huge party held in the mansion.

Bela and Arav is in Sakshi Maa's room.

Bela: Happy Birthday bhai. May your all dreams come true and you will get whatever you want.

Happy birthday to you too my little sissy. Mujhe bas tumhari aur maa khushi chaiye. And I can't believe that you are 24 now. It seems to me that you were born yesterday.

They got emotional and hugged eachother.

Then they touched Sakshi's feet and pray near her dad's picture.

They came out of the room. Arav get a call so he went to attend it.
Amie ran towards her screaming her name, Amie jumped on her neck and squeezed her tightly. She started spinning her.

Happy birthday bells. She shouted tearing her ears and kiss her cheeks.

Amie: May  jesus bless you with all the happiness love and success, my baby.

Bela hugged her: Thank you Amie.

Amie:Oh God, you look so hot. You can burn the whole universe today. Thank god we have arrangements to put out the fire.
Such a beauty you are. Why are you in this boring business and all, you should choose modelling or acting as career....

Bela: Thank you for so many compliments Amie. You look no less..

Amie: But today you have extra glow on your face. And I think I know the reason behind this.

Bela blushed furiously.

Amie: I am loving this blushing Bells a lot. By the way nice jewels haan. It looks so beautiful on you.

Bela says blushingly: Mahir gifted me....

Amie about to shout in excitement but Arav came.

Amie got nervous all of sudden.
Arav looks at her confused as she is behaving weirdly and keep shying.

Then suddenly Amie remember to wish him.

Amie: Hey, Happy Birthday Arav.

Arav: Thanks.

Arav forward his hand for handshake whereas Amie was about to hug him.

Then Amie bite her tounge and shake hand with him.

and they goes to the hall.

Then all comes to them wishes them. They all started enjoyed the party.

All are busy with her. But her eyes are busy in finding her love. They didn't meet each other for five days. Now she becomes so impatient.

Bela's Pov

Where is Mahir? Sab ne wish kar diya. Aur yeh kaha rah gaya. Pata nhi bohout hi weird behave kar rha hai kuch dino se. Jo bhi aj main Mahir ko sab bata dungi sab kuch. Kiya hoga, kaise hoga kuch nhi pata. Main bata dunga ki

'I love you.'

I turned to see ,Asad is sitting in his knees with a ring.

All started cheering and hooting . I realize that I was on the middle of the stage. lights are focused on us

'Will you marry me Miss Bela Ahuja?'

I just don't know what is happening. Bhai came to me and hugged me tightly. And all are shouting congratulations, love birds e.t.c e.tc.
And most importantly I don't know what's happening with me. I was all numb. I am listening everything but I am not able to say anything.

That's when Mahir came into my view. He came through the crowd towards me.

''Congratulations mam, congratulations sir. I am so so soo happy for you. And wishing you very happy birthday.''

Some people came and drags Asad  for interview.

Then one girl who was standing next to Mahir wishes me.

Mahir: It's Hunnah. My friend.

Is it happening for real ?
No it must be nightmare.
Amie came to me and drags to a corner.

Bela, are you ok?
What's all this?
You says it was Mahir and here you are wearing Asad's ring.

I can't feel my organs anymore. I think I am lossing my all senses, Then everything blacked out.
