MAHIR

My blood boiled after hearing those filthy things from their filthy mouths.

"Sir..actually..we..we..were..", they were trembling with their word's.

"Just shut the fuck up",I hissed looking at them.

I was trying my best to be calm and not to lash out on them,but my blood was boiling by just looking at their face's.

"Do you people know in what situation we were in when Bani died"?I asked calmly looking at them.

They both already started crying .

"I don't need to explain to people like you",I said.

"We are sorry sir",one girl said.

"Just get the hell out of here",I shouted.

Now everyone came hearing my voice. I saw Bela with tear stricken face.

Dad,Bela's dad and Yuvi, everyone were looking at me with questioning gaze.

I went to Bela,took her hand in mine and went to them.

"Did you see these tears in her eyes"?I asked pulling Bela to me.

"You people are reason for her tears. Now get out",I said clutching Bela more tightly.

"If you want to gossip about others life, there is no place for people like you here",I said.

"Don't you even dare to come near my office from now. You both are fired. Take your shit from here and leave",I said gritting my teeth.

"Sir please,we are sorry,Bela mam we are sorry,please don't fire me",one girl said.

"Security",I called them.

"Yes sir", they came running.

"I'm giving you just five minutes,if I see these both after five minutes, even you will be fired",I said looking at them.

"Yes..yes sir", he said and I left from there taking Bela with me.

She was looking at me constantly without staring.

"The show is over. Now back to work",I heard Yuvi.

I told Yuvi to keep Mahira with them for sometime. I need to talk to Bela.

We came inside my cabin and I locked the door. I made her sit on the couch and sat beside her.

"Bela just don't mind their words",I said taking her hands in mine.

"I..I..dint play any games", she said and broke down.

I hugged her immediately and she hugged me back resting her head on my shoulder.

"I know Bela. You don't need to explain to me on hearing their word's. They don't know anything and are fickle minded people",I said kissing her head.

"I..I never..never knew that... that people think like this... this about m.me", she said clutching me more tightly.

"They don't know what was our situation, and we shouldn't care what they talk about",I said rubbing her back.

She came out of the hug but her mangalsutr was tangled with my button.

She looked at me and was trying to untangle it.

I dint knew she is wearing it regularly,or maybe I dint observe because she hid it inside her top.

"So you are wearing it"?I said smirking at her.

"I.. I'm wearing it regularly", she said blushing.

She was still struggling to untangle it. I chuckled and slowly untangled it.

"Bela never ever stress your self for those people",I said kissing her temple.

Her eyes were again glistening with tears.

"I...I don't know why everyone thinks like that", she said wiping her tears.

"Please Bela, don't waste your eye pearls for those type of people",I said showing her tears with my fingers.

She smiled looking at it.

"You mean everything to me, not their words",I said.

I took her in a hug and was caressing her back.

We heard a knock on the door.

Man these knocking on doors is really knocking me out.

I went and opened the door,saw Mahira standing with her hands on her hips just like a teacher.

"Mahira",I took her in my arms and went inside.

"You forgo me dadda"? she frowned looking at us.

"No baby, how will we forget you",Bela said kissing her.

"No you bo forgo me", she said frowning.

"OK sorry baby",I and Bela said catching our ears.

Yuvi came inside looking for Mahira.

"Mahira you are here? Bhai she runs so fast",Yuvi said tickling Mahira.

"OK Mahir,we will leave now",Bela said.

"Hmm OK,but don't think about their words and spoil your mood",I said kissing her forehead.

The forehead kisses became more common now in between us.

Yuvi whistled looking at us.

Bela was blushing and Yuvi was wiggling his eyebrows.

"What? Do you have any problem"?I asked narrowing my eyes.

'No romance in office'these words were told by Mr.Mahir Sehgal I guess",Yuvi said.

Yeah I told him when I saw him and Vish kissing in his cabin last year.

"Yuvii",I glared at him.

"OK bye. I will leave now",Bela said taking Mahira with her.

"Bye dadda",Mahira yelled while going.

They both exited from my cabin and Yuvi was muffling his laugh.

"What is so funny here"?I asked folding my hands.

"Bhai you are so smitten, you are whipped", he said.

Now it was my turn to blush. But I was controlling a lot.

"Yuvi I...", he cut me off.

"Common bhai, don't run away like this", he said.

"I'm... I'm not run..running away",I said.

"Even you are doing the same mistake just as Bela", he said.

"It's not like that Yuvi",I defended.

"And why do you want to go to NY day after tomorrow? You are also running away from your feelings that's why", he said.

I sighed and sat down on the couch.

"I'm not running away Yuvi,I will get a clarity by staying away from her for some time",I said.

"You should talk to her instead of running", he said.

"Even she did the same",I snapped.

"So are you taking revenge now"? he asked.

"Shut up Yuvi, what are you talking"?I yelled at him.

"Bhai you should never run away from the present situation. It's nothing wrong falling in love for second time. You are just scared to accept it", he said taking my hands in his.

"I know Yuvi,but the guilt is still eating me like a disease. I'm feeling like I'm cheating on Bela by still remembering Bani. I don't want Bani to be a problem in our relationship",I said.

"Mahir bhai, I guess you are clear with your feelings,but you have to wait till Mahira's birthday. Read bhabi's journal. You will get a clarity", he said.

I took him in a hug. I dint knew my little brother is so matured.

All thanks to Vish.

"I dint know my little brother is matured than me"?I said putting my hand around his shoulder.

"I know I am matured enough", he said winking.

"And bhai did you tell Bela about your trip to NY"? he asked.

"I told but,I dint tell that I will leave day after tomorrow",I said.

"But please don't take wrong decisions Mahir bhai", he said.

"I will not",I said.

Yuvi is right. But I'm still feeling like I'm cheating on Bela.

I cannot forgot Bani,but I cannot stay without Bela also.

I don't know how to convey this to Bela, and don't know how she will react.

I took mine and Bani's picture from my table.

"Am I cheating on Bela or you"?I asked.

If I'm looking at Bani's picture I'm getting scared that I'm forgetting her.

I cannot forget her,but should forget for me and Bela.

I'm feeling like an insect trapped in a web.

I will inform Bela tonight about my NY trip.

BELA

Mahira was asleep when I reached home. I made her sleep on her crib and washed my face.

My face is all red and eyes are puffy due to crying.

Hearing those words about me was like someone pouring acid in my ears.

But I should really not waste my time thinking about them. I know what I am and I do not need to explain myself to anyone.

I dint expect this was awaiting for me in the office.

But have to dust it off. We can't cling onto dust even after knowing that we are suffering with dust allergy.

I called Vish and told her about everything. She was literally freaking out.

But was calm when I told that I expressed my love for Mahir.

I know Mahir likes me,but love is still a question mark.

I had my evening coffee and Mahira was playing with all her toys.

She was the teacher and her toys were her students.

I was the principal of her school.

"Mumma see tojo dint do wok,wha punish we give"? she asked like a teacher.

"Hmm don't play with tojo for a weak",I said.

"OK. Tojo u ge back to box", she said putting her toy back in her toy box.

I was laughing at her cute antiques and the door bell ringed. It must be Mahir.

I went and opened the door,Mahir was standing looking very tired.

He smiled looking at me and came inside.

"Daddaa",Mahira shouted looking at him.

"Hi baby", telling that he took her in his arms.

"You are looking tired, do you want a coffee"?I asked.

"Hmm ya,a strong coffee please", he said and went to get freshed.

I prepared coffee and went to balcony to give him. He and Mahira were munching on their snacks.

I gave him coffee and he was staring at me. I don't know what happened to him today. He is looking so different.

"What happened Mahir? You are looking off today",I asked.

"Um.. nothing just work stress", he said sipping his coffee.

"Dadda open dis",Mahira was asking to open the pista shells.

She loves eating pista,Mahir also loves them.

Mahir was opening and giving to Mahira,and Mahira was eating them.

"Mumma you aso eat", she said forwarding her hand.

"Thank you baby, you eat",I said feeding her.

The breeze was chilly today. We took Mahira and went inside,or else she may get cold.

"Mumma we watch micky", she said going towards the TV.

She saw mickey mouse movie with our dad's and became fan after that.

"Dadda put the micky", she said.

"OK let's watch Micky for Mahira",Mahir said settling her on his lap.

"Mumma you aso com",Mahira was calling me.

"You and dadda watch baby,I should cook mum for you",I said kissing her.

"Mumma peaseee", she said.

Aww my baby!

"Sit na Bela,it's OK. I will order food for us", Mahir said.

"Then for Mahira"?I said.

I smiled and went to cook.

I was cooking and I heard my phone ringing.

It was showing Vyom.

"Hey Vyom",I greeted.

"How are you Bela"? he asked.

"I'm fine. How are you",I asked.

"I'm good too. Is Mahir there"? he asked.

"Ya he is there. You called me for him"?I asked.

"No I called to talk to you and Mahira", he said.

"Wait a second",I said and went to Mahira.

Both were watching it so interestingly.

"Mahira uncle Vyom called, he wants to talk to you",I said settling beside them.

I kept phone on speaker.

"Hi Mahira baby",Vyom said.

"Uncle byooom",Mahira said and we all were laughing.

She can't spell Vyom's name properly.

"What are you doing Mahira", he asked.

"Waching micky wid dadda", she said and I was muffling my laugh.

Mahir was glaring at me.

"Mahir you are watching Micky mouse movies",Vyom was laughing now.

"Shut up Vyom",Mahir hissed.

"Arey Bela,Mahir. I should tell you something important", he said.

"What is it Vyom"?Mahir asked.

"I'm in loveeee", he said shocking both me and Mahir.

"Really? Who is that girl"?we both asked.

"The girl is surprise,but I will tell you soon", he said.

"Did you propose her"?Mahir asked.

"Yeah I did, and she accepted also", he said.

"Congrats Vyom",I said.

I'm really happy for him. Finally he too got a partner.

"Congrats buddy, you should tell me the whole story",Mahir said.

"We both will tell you together", he said.

"Offo..",we were hooting for him.

"OK I'm shy. Stop teasing me", he said.

We were laughing at his shyness.

"OK Mahir, I'm getting call from her. I will talk to you people later", he said and hanged up.

"I'm really happy for him",I said.

"Me too, finally he got someone",Mahir said.

"That feeling is only different actually",I said thinking about us.

"Yeah I know",Mahir said.

I got up and went to kitchen.

"Mahira,Mahir.. dinner time",I said setting the table.

Mahir came with Mahira and made her sit on her chair.

I served for him and I was feeding Mahira.She was looking sleepy, so she was eating fastly.

"Eat slowly baby",I said patting her back.

I too had my dinner and as expected Mahira was sleeping. She was tired.

Mahir made her sleep on her crib.

I was completing my work and saw Mahir coming from his study room.

He was looking really pissed off. Something is really wrong with him.

We both went to my room to sleep. I was checking on Mahira and Mahir was looking at me sitting on the couch.

"Mahir what's the matter"?I asked sitting beside him.

"I need to talk to you Bela", he said.

Now something is really serious. His voice was also looking like he is hurt.

"What is it Mahir"?I asked.

"Bela actually..I..I need to go to NY the day after only", he said.

My mouth felt dry. I was at loss of words.

I was opening my mouth like fish and closing it. I don't know what to say.

"Bela say something",Mahir said.

"What should I say Mahir"?I asked.

"Bela it was all of a sudden decision. I don't want to leave you and Mahira alone here. But I should go", he said with hurt filled voice.

"It's OK Mahir, you should go",I said looking at him.

Suddenly I started feeling empty,I don't know how these days will be.

"You are not angry on me"? he asked.

"No Mahir, I'm not. I'm just feeling sad",a sob escaped from me.

He sighed and hugged me.

I clutched him tightly as if my life is depending on him. It's actually depending on him.

"I will try to come soon Bela", he said.

"Will you miss Mahira's birthday"?I asked.

"No way,I will not miss her first birthday", he said looking at Mahira.

I came out of the hug and looked at him.

"I don't know how Mahira will be without you",I said.

"I know,it will be hard for her also. But it's just a matter of a week. I will be back before her birthday", he said.

We both went to bed. I was looking at him and a tear escaped from my eyes.

He saw me and closed his eyes in frustration.

"Come here", he said scooting me towards him.

His hand was under my head and I was sobbing on his chest.

"Just let it out Bela", he said caressing my hairs.

"I...I will... miss..miss you Mahir",I said sobbing.

"I will miss you too Bela", he said.

"I know it will be hard for us Bela. But we have to go through it just for one last time,after that no one can separate us", he said bringing me close to his face.

I nodded looking at him. He was also hurt. He pecked my cheek.

I guess he felt the warmth in my cheeks. I was red like a tomato.

"You blush a lot", he said smiling.

I smacked his chest and he was laughing. I could feel his body vibrating due to his laugh.

Yes. Just one last time we are going to be apart. I can't stay away from him more. I guess he is clear with his feelings towards me.

He kissed my forehead and we slept hugging each other.
