MAHIR

I'm really fed up with this girl.I already told her how this relationship will go on,but then still?

As usual the media spotted me here also,I dodged them and entered the restaurant.

I saw that girl waiting for me,she saw me and came to hug me.I just gave a casual friendly hug.

"Thank you for coming Mahir,thank you so much for coming",she said hugging me again.

I stepped aside from her
"What's the matter K?Why did you call me here"?I asked directly.

"Mahir..I...I love you..I love you Mahir.I want to spend my life with you",she said holding my hand.

I jerked my hand away from her's
"What do you mean that you love me? I already told you what is our relationship.It's nothing more than a fling for me",I replied coldly.

"Mahir I know we decided this when we started our on and off relationship...but things changed for me Mahir..I..I love you",she said again grabbing my hands.

"I'm sorry K..but I don't love you,I never had any feelings for you,you are just my fuck buddy and I never did anything to you without your permission.So please,its better if we remain as friends",I said looking at the other side.

"Why Mahir?What is wrong with me?I..I'm a model too,your friend since so long..I shared my bed with you..",
"That's because you wanted to,you were interested in me,I'm giving you what you want.But I can't give my love to you..I don't love you",I said.

"Mahir please..please understand,everyone thinks that we both are together..please Mahir,I love you",she said.

How should I get rid of her? Damn...

"I'm getting married K",I said and shock was evident on her face.

"What? Marriage? I mean..how..who..you are getting married to?"she asked.

"I don't know to whom I'm getting married,but my mom is on a bride hunt for me.I'm going to Serbia tomorrow for three days,for a shoot.Till then my mom will be ready with a bride for me",I replied coldly looking at her and I felt that she was hurt.

"It's over K..our 'no strings attached' relationship ends here",I said.

"But Mahir..can't you see how much I love you? Just look into my eyes and say that you don't love me?"she asked coming closer to me.

"There is no love K..you have an intention to stay in my life but I don't see any love in you're eyes for me",I said moving away from her.

"You were interested in having sex with me,I was never back of you.I gave you what you want and Im still giving it.But now it's the end K. I don't want this filthy relationship anymore. It's damaging my image. And I don't like you, you are just my friend, nothing more than that",I said coldly.

"Please Mahir..please think about..it...",
"I will always be on my word.I can't force my feelings for you.Bye now,I need to get going",I said getting up and leaving.

Wait I need to tell her one last thing,I walked back to her,
"And remember that I never loved you,and I will never love you",I said and left from there.

She held my hand and I looked at her,
"Mahir please...one last time..can we"?she asked.

She's insane!!

"Not even in your dreams,I said this is over.Never try to come near me and modeling..it's just professionalisam.We are colleagues,nothing more than that",I said and walked away from her.

She wants to get laid with me even after the end of our relationship?

Ridiculous!! I lost my respect on her today!

Finally it's the end with her.I was walking out of the restaurant but caught up with the media again. It's OK,let's give them some snaps.

I heard people laughing and I turned back to see what's wrong.This girl was shouting on an innocent girl.I couldn't see her but I felt bad for her.She came and joined me again while posing for the media.

This will be the last time media snapping our pictures together. They won't get anymore chances of writing roumers about me and K.

I'm done with her indeed!

I was on my way to office and I felt something.

A fear!!

Fear?

Yeah fear,I told mom to go for bride hunt but now I'm worried.I'm worried about the girl who will come into my life. I hope mom doesn't find a girl for me in these three days.I don't want to spoil a girl's life.

I was puffing my cigarette watching through the large windows of my office. The city looks busy...and so am I.

Busy in my thought's.I just blurred about bride hunt to escape from the situation...but now I'm worried. I'm ready for a marriage but I'm worried about the responsibilities that comes along with marriage.

Especially the girl entering into my life and my family..she has to be perfect. These generation girls are wrapping their husbands around their pinky and living separately from their families.

That's the worst quality of a girl who thinks to separate the man from his family.I hope no such girl enters into my life.

A father trusts a man and gives his daughter's hand.I need to live up to that. I should try to be a good husband to the girl who leaves her house and comes for me.

I...I became so matured just thinking about marriage..I was never like this.I used to change girls like I change my clothes. But now I'm feeling different.

A difference between a playboy and a good man!!

"Yeah marriage it is...I hope mom doesn't succeed in this",I said to myself.

"Sir the jet will be ready early in the morning.It's a three days shoot and I informed K too",Annu said checking some documents.

"It's K for this shoot"?I asked irritated.

"Um yes sir..the winter collection was assigned to you both",she said.

"Just see that this will be the last shoot with her for me",I said throwing my cigarette.

"Done sir",she said and left.

I was back to home and saw my mom,dad,Kuhu,Yuvi...everyone sprawled out near the couch.And there were many pictures in front of them.

I really felt to laugh out loud..they already started a bride hunt.

"Wow many pictures..good good..all the best mom and dad",I said going upstairs laughing at them.

I just told them about marriage in the morning and they are already at work.

"Fine...let's complete the last fucking shoot with her",I said to myself with a bright smile.

BELA

I woke up early and was getting ready to work.I came out for breakfast and I sensed some tension in the air.

My parent's were glancing at each other from time to time and I've noticed that.What's wrong with them today?

"Mom dad..what's wrong? Do you want to say something"?I asked feeling their eyes on me.

"Actually dear..I..um..we need to talk to you",my dad said.

"I'm all ear's",I said looking at them.

"Ah..we...are thinking..we are thinking about your marriage",my mom said and I was shocked is an understatement.

"What? Marriage? Mom..marriage?I mean..marriage"?I was blabbering.

"Dear we are just asking..calm down.No decision will be against your will.It's all upon you. If you say no..it's a no",my dad said.

"Do you have anyone special in your life?If yes shall we talk to him"?my mom asked.

What really?

"Mom..there's nothing like that,I don't have anyone special in my life",I said giving a smile.

"See dad..I would be better off with your choice",I said.

"Our choice"?my dad asked confused.

"Hmm..ya,I mean you choose a person for me,you both always chose the right things for me and I trust you both even in this matter..so ya.Go for a groom hunt",I said.

"You sure Bells?You are OK with an arrange marriage"?my mom asked.

"Yes mom..I'm sure.I trust you both",I said.

"See dear you are 25,we feel you are matured enough to get married..and..there's an alliance for you",my mom said.

"But mom..why so soon?I mean..I'm..I'm scared",I said and slumped on the couch.

"Hey Bells...",my dad came and sat beside me.

"There is nothing to get scared..we will say a direct no to them if you don't want to",my dad said and my mom assured of it.

I thought for a second about it,they are just asking my permission to talk to them..and I guess I over reacted.

My parent's have done everything for me..they never denied any of my decision.I can't deny their decision now...they never asked me anything.They are asking me something for the first time...I will not hurt them.

"OK mom..OK dad..I'm..I'm OK with it,I trust you both.I'm ready for marriage..your decision is my decision",I said taking my mom's hands in mine.

"It's your call Bela..there is no pressure on you,we will talk to them only if you want us to",my mom said.

"I'm OK with it mom,I trust you both.Talk to them",I said and I felt my voice had a fear.

"You sure about it Bells"?my dad asked.

"Yes..yes dad..I'm sure..talk to them",I said with a bright smile.

"Thank you dear,we were sacred that you will get offended.Thank you for giving us a chance",my mom said.

"Mom please don't thank me..you are my parent's,you know what's good for me.So..yeah meet them",I said.

My dad kissed my forehead and mom too.I'm proud of them.Some parent's don't even bother about the girl's decision,but my parent's..are love.They love me so much.

I don't want to disappoint them,I don't want to!!

"OK mom..I'm getting late,I should leave.Bye..take care",I said and hopped into my car.

Marriage?Me getting married? I need to leave my parent's and go?

My eyes stung with this thought!!

"It's OK Bela..they will make a wise decision for you..don't worry",I said to myself.

I was baking the cake for today's party.This is the only thing which makes me happy when I'm off.Baking is my love!!

Finally the cake was ready

It took couple of hours to make it and it turned out so beautiful.

"Rehaan just put it into the freezer,we will leave at 3 to deliver it",I said leaving my hair free.

"Done boss lady",he said and now I need to talk to her.

I was calling her and that bitch isn't picking up her phone?

"Pick up...pick up...",I was waiting and she isn't picking up.

"Hello...who is this..."?she asked with a sleepy tone.

"Wake up you sleepy ass..I've been calling you since past ten minutes..are you listening? Ahh..get the fuck up Vish",I shouted.

"Don't shout Bela..I'm up.We had a late night yesterday",she said yawning.

"I don't want to listen about your bedroom stories Vish.I'm..I'm..tensed",I said feeling low.

"What's wrong Bela"?she asked worried.

"Hmm..nothing leave it..just leave it.How's Vikrant"?I changed the topic.

"He is good..but what's wrong with you babe"?she asked.

OK Vish is my only friend.I'm an introvert and I don't have many friends.She is a constant in my life.She stays with her husband Vikrant in the states and I miss her very badly right now!!!

"Today mom and dad..asked..asked me about marriage",I finally said it.

"Wohoo..finally they realized that it's time.Who is the guy..spill all the details",she asked excitingly.

"Vish you are going too far..they just asked for my permission to talk that family and I don't know any details about them..I'm just worried that am I ready for this",I said grabbing a chocolate.

"Bela don't get nuts..they just asked you out and I guess you said a 'yes'",she asked.

"Hmm yeah..you know na,they never asked me anything.For the first time they asked me something and I don't want to disappoint them",I said.

"OK that's good...but are you really OK with the idea of marriage"?she asked.

"I..I don't know..I'm getting nervous all of a sudden",I replied grabbing another chocolate.

"OK calm down.I would say go with the flow..OK?I'm sure your parent's will know what is good for you..so chill.They just want to talk,they are not getting you married tomorrow only right? So relax..OK"?she said.

"Hmm..yeah..I think I'm just over reacting",I said.

"OK now let me light up your mood..hmm..how is your Mahir Sehgal"?she asked and I kinda blushed after hearing his name.

"OK he is not mine..he is just my crush..OK",I said blushing.

"Yeah crush..and that's why your gallery is filled with his shirtless picture's",she teased.

OK I won't lie I'm a fan of him,but this girl is talking nonsense.I don't have any shirtless picture's of him,only one is there in my gallery.

"Vish..stop..I..I don't have them..come on I'm crushing on him,that's it.By the way he is a star..he can't be man of my dreams",I laughed.

"Don't know what will be written in our fate..and by the way he looks so hot..and he is a sex god indeed",she said dreamily.

"Damn Vish..you are married for god sake",I laughed.

"So what..he is a global crush",she said.

"Yeah whatever..when will you come to India"?I asked.

"Don't know babe..we are piled up with work over here",she said.

"Hmm..so what more..any intresting news"?I asked.

"News means..yeah..did you know this..Mahir has gone to Serbia for a shoot with K. And I guess they both are dating,there are roumers about them and roumers about his marriage too.I guess they both will tie the knot soon",she said.

I felt a pain in my heart,
"Oh..K..hey you know I bumped into that girl yesterday in the restaurant",I said laughing loudly and the people in my cafe were looking at me weirdly.

"Excuse me",I said and left from there laughing.

"Really? But why are you laughing so much"?she asked laughing along with me.

"Her bag fell down when she bumped into me and there were condoms in her bag..she was..she was..so embarrassed",I laughed my heart out.

"What? That's crazy",she laughed along with me.

"But Bela I guess she was with Mahir in that restaurant..their pictures from that restaurant are all over the Internet.They went to Serbia for latest photoshoot and the pictures are all viral in the internet.I will send you those pictures wait",Vish said and I felt another pang in my heart.

"What? That means they both are together? And I've seen condoms in her bag..really..they both"?I asked.

"Hmm maybe..they both..and you know na he is a playboy..so it's common for him",she said.

Eww...not to judge them..but I'm not feeling good about it.I'm not liking it.

"Damn..Vish..I don't know..I'm not liking him after listening to this..I'm not liking it",I said feeling angry.

"Hey you can't judge him like that..it's his life",she said.

"I'm not judging him and I know it's his life..but I'm not liking it all of a sudden,especially after listening about K and him..it's not sitting well with me",I said.

"Hmm..why do we care by the way,he is just your crush right..so chill..we don't care",she said.

"Yeah you are right..I don't care..I don't care what he does..he is just my small time crush..and it's over",I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Yeah..that's good.Bela..I'm getting late,I need to rush.Inform me about your marriage wherabouts later. Bye babe take care",she said.

"Bye babe..miss you",I said hanging up.

I was just sitting thinking about what Vish said.Damn..why do I care.My parent's are searching for a groom for me and here I'm sulking for the man who doesn't even know me.

Phew...why am I thinking so much?

Vish had send me their photoshoot pictures,I guess they are winter collection photos.They both are looking so sassy in those pictures.

Agh..why am I thinking about them? First I need to delete him from my mind,no wait..first from my gallery.

Done..it's better to be off from social media for some days,I won't be getting any updates about him.

"See Bela you don't care about any Mahir now..your parent's are searching for a groom for you,so you should respect that",I said to myself and now I'm feeling better.

"Bela it's time...we need to get going",Rehaan called out for me.

"Yeah..let's go",I said coming out of my cabin.

I was ready to get into my car...but there was a call from my mother.What's it?

"Hey mom..what's up"?I asked.

"Bela..I need you to come home right now",my mom said and I stopped in my tracks.

"What's wrong mom? Is everything OK"?I asked getting worried.

"No everything is fine.I want you home right now,can you hurry up"?she asked.

"Mom I need to go for a cake delivery now..I..",
"It's important Bela..can you please hurry up.Tell Rehaan to give the order",she said.

"OK mom..I will be there in fifteen minutes",I said and hanged up.

What's wrong? Such an urgent call?

"Um..Rehaan..I need to rush to home..it's urgent.Can you please deliver this and give my regards to Malhotra aunty"?I asked.

"Hmm..you are bailing out again..it's OK,I will",he said.

"I'm sorry Rehaan",I apologized.

"Hey that's fine,now you go",he said and hugged him,
"You are the best".

Now I'm on my way to home... don't know what's awaiting for me over there?

I halted in front of our home and I rushed inside.

"Mom..mom..what's..",I was shouting but I stopped when I saw some unknown people sitting in our lobby.

OK I don't know who they are...but I guess they are the family that came to see me? They all were giving a warm smile to me.

"Um..hello",I said and rushed to kitchen.

"Mom..mom what happened and who are they"?I asked in a hurry.

"Calm down Bela...I..actually Mrs.Malhotra called me yesterday night asking about your marriage and..she found a match for you",my mom said.

"Oh...so are they...them"?I asked now getting worried.

"Yes beta..their son went to abroad for some three days,he will be back soon.But they want to meet you first..so I and your dad want you to meet them",she said.

"Oh..uhm..OK..so should I go out now"?I asked.

"Yeah..just come along with me,nothing to worry.I and dad will be beside you",my mom said hugging me.

"Mom..I'm nervous..I..",
"They just came to see you child,nothing is finalized yet. Don't get tensed OK"?my mom said patting my cheeks.

I nodded with a smile.

Come on Bela..be brave!!

I followed my mom and entered our lobby.I dint see them thoroughly when I came in,but they were four people.

A man and women of my parent's age and a beautiful girl with a huge baby bump and a guy of my age.

Is he? No..no..mom said the guy isn't here..he must be his brother.

Why am I feeling that I've seen them somewhere? Have I seen them anytime before?

"Hello..I'm Bela..Bela Sharma",I uttered with a lot of nervousness.

"Hello beta,nice to meet you..how are you doing"?the women of my mom's age asked me.

"I'm..I'm..good aunty..I'm fine",I said.

"So she is Bela,my daughter.An MBA graduate and currently running her own cafe 'Sip and Snack'",my dad said.

"What? Sip and snack? That's my favorite cafe..I love the pie's over there...so you own that"?the girl with baby bump asked excited.

"Um..yeah and thank you,I'm glad you  love them",I said.

What are their names? Why don't my parent's give any clue about their name's?

"Hi Bela..I'm Kuhu,little sister of your soon to-be-husband",she said with a chirpy smile.

What? Soon to be husband? They just came to talk right?

"Hi..nice to meet you",I replied with the same warm smile.

"Hi Bela..it's nice to meet you.We don't want to scare you.We are just here to meet you.Don't be nervous.I'm Sumitra Sehgal..the groom's mother",she introduced herself.

"Hi aunty..nice to...",then it stuck me.

She is what? Sumitra Sehgal?

What Sehgals?

That means..are they here to..,no no,..there is something wrong.

"Nice to meet you Aunty",I gave a plastic smile.

"Even I love the pie's and mostly those cheesecakes,the blue berry one's are too yum",the guy of my age said.

"Thank you",I said faking a smile again .

"Yuvi..this is not the time to talk about food.We are here for something",the man of my dad's age spoke.

Did he said Yuvi?

Oh god...that means..he is really Yuvraj Sehgal, and this man is Andy Sehgal,she is Sumitra Sehgal and she is their daughter Kuhu Sehgal.

The owners of the company 'The White',that means...no.

Mahir Sehgal is my groom?
