MAHIR

Another day and here I and Mahira are playing in our lobby and Bela was working on her system.We both were keenly looking at the ducklings climbing up and down of the tower,Mahira's favorite toy in recent times.

She was resting her chin on my shoulders and I was resting my chin on my hands,she was lying on my back and watching,we both were looking like kindergarten kids.

I saw Bela smiling and slowly clicking our picture.She couldn't stop herself from capturing it,we were looking cute.

I looked at her and she blinked,she averted her gaze and concentrated back on her work.

"Dadda..they go fasstt...",Mahira said and I giggled.

"Let's make them slow",I said and decreased the speed near the key,making the ducks move slowly.

I never felt like this.Playing with my daughter gives me so much happiness,and I'm a bastard for missing these moments with her.

Mahira rested her head on my shoulder and I smiled kissing her little fists,my baby.

Some message pinged in Bela's phone and her face lit up,
"Mahira..Vishi is coming day after",she beamed.

"Vishi?"Mahira asked slowly.

"Yes Mahira,your Vishi and Yuvi are coming back",Bela said.

"Yayy...dadda...",she was jumping on my back and Bela bursted into laughter.

"Agh..Mahira..Bela..",I  groaned in pain.

Bela got up and came near us,
"Mahira..spare me",I groaned while Mahira was jumping on my back.

"Mahira baby..slow down",Bela laughed making her stand on the floor.

Bela looked at me groaning in pain,
"She has put up weight,you are going to massage my back",I groaned.

She smiled and I looked at her.Her smile vanished and she looked at Mahira,she was going round and round,jumping,giggling with happiness.

"Mahira..slow down",Bela laughed and held her hands.

"Vishi...Yueee",she beamed.

She loves them!

"Yes,just now Yuvi also messaged me..aahh..they are coming day after tomorrow",I groaned stretching my arms and stood up.

All the time I was OK when Mahira was resting on my back,but the moment she started jumping.I get it why Bela faces a lot of difficulty looking after our little terrorist.

"Dadda..mumma..Vishi..Yuee",Mahira beamed clapping her hands and we smiled.

"Yes baby,they are coming back.Now stop jumping",Bela laughed helding her.

She was still jumping hugging Bela and Bela was also looking so happy.Vish is her best friend and she needed her in all these months.But she couldn't come here because of her work.

We had a big communication gap with our family after we parted our ways.No one were with us when I and Bela fought,on Mahira's first birthday.

I will regret that day for all my life.

No father should regret their daughter's birthday,but look at me!

There was a fire accident in our company,that too in our project room.I left my home abruptly,leaving Bela and Mahira alone.

It's my daughter's birthday today,I thought to spend this whole day with her,like a proper father.But things made me fuck it up.

Our team reached on time and saved before the damage was done.Or else all these months hard work would be in vain.We have been working on this Asian project since months leaving everything.

Neglecting my family too.

This project was needed a proper guidance and I was given this responsibility,the project is almost done.

We have the presentation tomorrow,but our teammates suggested that we complete the presentation today.I had to give in because this was really important.

Our whole wealth was invested in this project,and if we get the project,our wealth will be multiplied within a blink.

Me,dad,Yuvi,Vyom,our team..we all worked so hard for this project.We called our clients and explained the situation here,they agreed and we started our presentation.

It took a lot of time,more than we expected.The presentation was done and we were waiting for their reply.

"We'll give you our answer in few hours,thank you for the presentation",our client said.

"Thank you,we are hoping for a good answer from you.Have a good day",I thanked them and my PA cut the call.

It was tough because we did an online presentation and in an odd time,it was almost mid night now.

"Good work guys,it's late.Everyone disperse..we'll look into it tomorrow",I said and everyone nodded.

I looked at the time,it was half past one.

Fuckity Fuck!

I got up immediately and walked out from my office,I got into my car and speeded up towards my home.

Mahira's teddy bear!

I cursed and took a u turn again,people are fools if they open their marts in this midnight.

Luckily I knew a guy and I contacted him,I rushed to his mart and grabbed a big teddy bear for Mahira,a pink one as she wanted.

I smiled and took pink shoes also for her,I couldn't go shopping with them.Both Bela and Mahira were so hurt with me since few months.

Now the project is over,I'll have my time back with my love and my baby.

I know it's been very tough for me and Bela also,she's been taking care of Mahira.I never had little bit of time for them.

But not anymore,it's all over.

I saw one small necklace with a beautiful heart shaped pendent,this reminded me of Bela instantly.I purchased it for her and was on my way to home.

I know I'm late,I couldn't celebrate Mahira's birthday as she wanted.But I'm going to make it alright.

Make everything alright between me and Bela also.We are not good from past months,we developed many problems and fights.

I will make it all good...just all good today.

I reached our apartment and I was about to knock,the door was opened.I entered inside and I was shocked.

My shoulders slumped looking at the scene in front of me.Bela was sitting on the floor,hugging her knee's and hiding her face,I saw the half cut chocolate cake and closed my eye's.

"Bela?"I called her.

She slowly looked at me and my eye's went wide,her eye's were looking bloodshot and all puffy.

I kept all the gifts on the couch and walked towards her,I kneeled in front of her and was about to held her by her shoulder,
"Don't touch me",her voice was hoarse.

"Bela..I can explain",I said.

"No..you can't..get away from me",she yelled.

I stood up and she stood up wiping her tears,
"Bela..please just hear me out.I can explain this",I said helding her shoulders.

"What will you explain Mahir?"she shouted jerking my hands away from her shoulders.

"Just look..look at the..look around",Bela sobbed.

I looked around and saw Mahira's toys scattered,her birthday cap crumbled,cake almost melting.And just like that...my heart melted too.

My Mahira!

"Where is Mahira?"I asked her.

"Forget about Mahira and please..please forget about me also.Oh..I'm sorry..I'm mistaken..I was forgotten first..yes..I was forgotten first",she said wiping her tears.

"Bela stop talking like that.How can I forget you and Mahria?It's nothing like that",I said.

"Just like you did all these months Mahir.Please..I can't bear this anymore..this isn't happening",she cried.

"Bela..this is enough.I'm fed up of this shit.I'm not having any fun staying away from you and my daughter.Stop accusing me like this",I snapped at her.

"You are just fed up of me bringing out this topic,but did you even think how fed up I am going through this?"she sobbed.

I sighed and closed my eye's,trying to not burst out.

"Bela,there was a fire accident in our presentation room.We..we had to submit the project tomorrow,but because of this accident..we did that today.It took time for getting resolved",I explained calmly.

"I never..never interfered in your work.I never asked about your timings and all..I was keeping up with patience..only to get this from you?"she asked.

"Do you even know how Mahira cries for you?Have you ever heard her crying for you?"she pushed me by my chest.

"She cries for you..for your love,for your solace.She cries for her fatherly love which she never got,do you even realize how will she feel,a small girl?"Bela kept pushing me and punching my chest with her fist.

"Bela..Bela calm down..listen to me",I tried helding her hands.

"Bela..see..look at my phone",I showed her my phone.

"I was in the office giving the presentation,take a look",I shouted throwing my phone across the wall in anger.

She was getting on my nerves now.

"I never asked what you were doing? Were you in office or somewhere else..trying to avoid me.All I wanted was some time with you,you being with me and Mahira",she sobbed.

"Somewhere else?What do you mean by somewhere else?"I asked,anger evident in my voice.

"You are doubting on me?You think..you think I'm cheating on you?"I shouted and she flinched.

"I didn't say that",she shouted back.

"Then what does this mean Bela?Tell me?"I yelled at her.

"You don't love me anymore Mahir,it's so evident",she sobbed and my anger was on.

How can she think something like that?

"Bela..what are these fights daily?I'm tired of it",I yelled.

"Fights?I am taking up fights with you,on purpose?"Bela yelled back.

"It's better we part ways instead of these fights daily",I shouted banging my hand on the table.

"Wha..what did you say?"she asked in disbelief.

"Bela..no..I..I didn't mean that..listen to me...",
"No..you just said it...you..you said it",she sobbed.

"Bela..no..listen to me once",I stepped towards her.

"You are right..you are tired of these fights daily and I'm sick of them.We..we should part ways..as you want",she cried stepping back.

BELA

"Bela..I didn't mean what I said..it just slipped..it's nothing like that",Mahir said coming towards me.

"The words coming from your heart comes out from your mouth",I said weakly.

"Bela...I really love you,why are you doubting that?"he asked me calmly.

"Where is that love?I can't see it..I can't feel it..where is it?"I yelled,wiping my tears.

"Bela I accept I was drowned in work,but that doesn't mean I stopped loving you,stopped loving Mahira",he said,trying to control his anger.

"So much work that you forgot about me Mahir?Have you ever asked me about how are you feeling?In all these months?"I sobbed.

"No..you never did.Because all you needed was your work,your project,your office.I sacrificed my carrier Mahir",I sobbed helding his collar.

"I didn't force you to sacrifice your carrier,it was your choice Bela,for Mahira.Don't try to blame me in this",he said gritting his teeth.

"And here also you are finding such excuses?Blame game?This is looking like a joke to you?"I yelled and he yanked my hands away from his collar.

"Don't you dare talk to me like this Bela",he warned me,breaking my heart.

"I was busy in work,we need to sacrifice few things to get successful.And I sacrificed my time,that's it",he said,trying to calm himself down.

"No..you sacrificed me and Mahira..you sacrificed us",I shouted and went to our room.

"Bela..stop",he walked behind me.

I  was crying sitting near Mahira's crib,he walked to me,
"Bela..I would never do that,you are taking it wrong",he said.

"Get away from me",I shouted.

"What's your fucking problem Bela?I should give you time leaving my work?I should always sit with you in home and chill?"he shouted helding my shoulders tightly and I felt a huge pang in my heart.

"This is how you think Mahir...this..this is who you are",I said in a defeated tone.

"I and Mahira..Mahira..she cried for you a million times.She needed you,I needed you.She needed you when she was not well,she needed you to comfort her.I needed you to comfort me when she was not well...and this is how you think?"I sobbed.

This is not the Mahir I fell in love with!

He was still seething with anger,he isn't processing what I'm talking about.

"Do you even remember Mahir?When was the last time you took me in your embrace,comforted me..slept with me?"I asked feeling hurt,wiping my flowing tears.

"You just want to sleep with me right?Come on..come here",he said grabbing my hand and walked towards our bed,yanking me on the bed like a sac.

I lost it!

I looked at the bed and looked at him,he was unbuttoning his shirt buttons.I got up from the bed with a broken soul and looked at him.

"Mr.Mahir Sehgal...don't you dare..ever touch me again...don't you dare",my voice was breaking.

He was thinking that I was craving to sleep with him?

For...sex?

Pathetic!

I cried,I cried looking into his eye's and the reality dawned upon him.I stepped back and leaned near Mahira's crib.

"I hate you...I hate you Mahir",I said slowly and turned towards Mahira.

I cried picking up Mahira from her crib,we both don't deserve this.

I sobbed hugging her,I snapped at her because of him today.For the person I love,but there's no love and that person..he is not even worth of my love.

"Today..you broke me Mahir..you broke me",I sobbed.

"How can you..how can you think about me like that?"I broke down.

I looked at him,he was counting numbers to calm himself down.He opened his eye's and stepped towards me,
"Bela..I'm..I'm sorry..fuck..I didn't mean that",he said putting his hand on my shoulder.

"I said stay fucking away from me",I shouted pushing him with my single hand.

"Don't..don't try to come near me and my daughter..don't you dare touch me",I sobbed.

I don't even know how to vent out my anger,because I'm hurt.

Broken!

"You think that..I..I want to sleep with you?"I cried wiping my unstoppable tears.

"It's my mistake,I loved you so much that I was trying to fix you..while..while you were breaking me..you broke me",I sobbed breathing heavily.

"Bela..God..I didn't mean it like that,how should I explain it to you?"Mahir said coming near me while I was a sobbing mess.

"First calm down..give Mahira to me",he said trying to take Mahira.

"I said don't touch us...you don't have any rights on us..stay away",I shouted with all my guts.

"Bela..she is my daughter",Mahir said sternly.

"No..she is only my daughter...you don't deserve her",I cried.

I kissed Mahira's head and hugged her tightly to my heart,she was asleep.It's time this should come to end,for the sake of my daughter.

I can't let my daughter go through this,never.

I wiped my tears,mustered up courage and looked at Mahir one last time,
"We are...we are done",I said and walked out of the room along with Mahira.

"Bela..what..Bela...",I heard his voice.

"Bela stop",Mahir held my hand and I halted.

"Leave my hand you bastard",I shouted trying to jerk his hand away.

He doesn't know in how many pieces he broke my heart!

"Bela..Bela..please..don't be in a hurry,I'm sorry.Let's talk it out",he said and I was still trying to wiggle my hand out of his grip.

"Leave me...I said leave me",I cried and shouted.

Mahira woke up with a jerk and looked at me,I cried looking at her and turned back,looking at Mahir,
"Leave my hand..or else you will see me and my daughter dead",I said gritting my teeth.

He was shocked beyond expected,he left my hand and tears were brimming in his eye's.

"Mum..",Mahira whispered slowly and I hid her face in my chest.

"Nothing baby..nothing..go to sleep..",I sobbed kissing her head,but she was already wide awake.

"Bela..please..listen to me",I heard his voice shaking.

I looked at him and sobbed,this was his love?

He thought my love for him was only near the bed?

How much more I can take?

I can't,self respect is more than this thing called love!

I clutched my wedding chain and pulled it with full force,feeling the sting around my neck.Mahir's eye's widened looking at me.

"I don't want this type of love..I don't want your love",I said throwing it on his face.

"Bela?"he was on the verge of crying.

"I don't want it...",I shouted.

"It's over...you and me..it's over.And..never..never try to come near me and my daughter..don't you dare.She doesn't deserve a father like you",I warned him.

"Bela..no..it's not over..please",his lower lip wobbled.

"It's over Mahir,you..you made fun of my love.You will never..never realize the love I had for you..it's over",I sobbed and turned back,walking out of his home.

I cried hugging Mahira and walked out from his life too.

No women stay's after there's a scratch on her self respect.When he made fun of my love,telling that I just wanted to sleep with him...that's it?

This is our compatibility?

He thinks that I crave for sex with him?

I fucking craved for his love!

And this is what I get to hear.

I feel like burning myself after his words,I don't want it.I don't need that type of love.

I don't want my daughter to be with a father who has that mentality,thinking that I craved for a night on the bed.

All our love,affection,care,trust,loyalty,it's over today.

It's over!
