Mahir's POV:

I stepped into the room...

Nothing changed here ...

Maybe it's only me and her...

We became friends here...

I held her hand here for the first time...

Although it was only a few months we stayed here...it was our first home ...

This was the home that began our relationship ❤️

I still remember all my stupid things that I did to gain her attention 😂 after my first night drama 😅

She was so angry...😂

Entire week she avoided me 🤣

This house this room had fond memories of our beginning

And today we were going to begin a new journey....as parents together.

***

I was making Musky drink the donor milk that Dr Deekshit organized for our baby...

We hoped this would help to boost Musky's immunity.

As usual she was puking and rejecting the bottle...

My god...my daughter is so stubborn... Ufff!!!!

She learnt a new habit of swatting hands... Anything and everything...she would push away when she was irritated..

I was struggling to make her drink but she Started crying loudly...

Yeah we don't have any neighbors on this floor...only two houses both belong to us but my daughter's vocal chords had the capacity to invite our neighbors from 23rd floor 🤷🤦

Just then I heard a laugh...

Bela....

She was laughing loudly leaning towards our bedroom door while the little one in my arms was crying...

'Whats so funny huhhh' I asked...

She came to me and said... 'This is how you feed her is it... No wonder I could hear her cry like she'll blow the penthouses when she's with you...' she started laughing...

'Are you calling me Irresponsible???' I was pissed...

She stopped laughing and smiled...
'No... You need to start observing... Not just via eyes... Via ears and nose too'

'Means?'

'Well means...

Eyes equal to she's swatting hands a lot,

Ears equal to her sweater is stuck in your handcuffs and her little anklet is making a lot of noise

Smell equal to she has pooped 😁'

She said it all... She was right!

I removed her anklets saying...

'She can wear it once she's 6 months... These are annoying' I was frustrated...

She knew my daughter better.

She wiped her off, fed her slowly and my tantrum queen had some but then started swatting again...

I started laughing loudly...

'Now where are your observations' I teased her
..
To which she smiled and said... 'Thats because she is sleepy'

I was observing her how and what she was doing...

She changed her dress made her wear diapers alone and immediately took her closer to her chest...

My eyes were still on her but this very minute I averted my gaze elsewhere...

'Ummm.... I....I'll get water.. tha...tha... Thirsty!' I said and ran out of the room...

My heart was beating too fast.

This is just the beginning Mahir... Act matured... It's fine... Even you give kangaroo care... Yup... But Bela... I mean....oh god...'

Slowly after 10-15 minutes I went to the room and knocked the door...

'Come in' she said...

I looked up... The scene was unexpected...

It was cute 🤗❤️

She just looked so comfortable on her mum's chest... Like she owned it 😄

I couldn't help but smile...

Bela was also smiling looking at her sleep like a little cub...

She looked at me and passed a smile
..

'No wonder it's called Kangaroo care..look at my cute baby kangaroo' she said and chuckled...

'Surreal...' I said...

'You know I can feel her breathe!' I said to which I smiled...

'I know it's beautiful' and I sat next to Bela on the bed and caressed her head...

I felt she started feeling concious ..then I realized my hands were Although touching Musky's head... Musky herself was inside Bela's t-shirt ..

Shit!!!

'Bela you ate dinner?' I asked...

'Ummm... No...it's ok... I'll see later' she said and continued caressing Musky's head...

***

Bela's POV:

I was hungry but Muskaan had just slept and I know how much of a light sleeper she is...

One movement and she will be up opening her big button eyes and she will start crying like I'm a murderer 😂

So I continued lying down partially... I had the head board of bed for support and two pillows at my back...

I was lying down closing my eyes...

While I heard a voice...

'Bela'

I opened my eyes...

He had come with a plate...

I had made rotis and sabzi...he got them served and brought a small piece of roti near my lips...

I looked at him with my eyes wide open 😳

'Eat...' he said...

He was trying to feed me with his bandaged hands...

'Its fine Mahir...I...I'll eat...eat later!' I said...

To which he said...

'You can't do everything alone Bela... Remember coordination! Eat now!' he said and I felt his index finger with the piece of roti touched my lips..

I opened my mouth and ate...

'Ill tilt the pillow' he said...

'No... No she'll get up!' I warned...

Slowly I ate a few pieces but my throat was getting dry.

I tried to move to pick the glass and jar which was on my bed side table...

But I was unable to due to Musky...

Next second I felt him hovering sideways on me...

My breath hitched 😳

He saw me ...I saw him...

He was almost on me...

Our eyes met...

We had an eyelock...

Our faces were this close...

My heart was beating very fast...

I could hear my own saliva gulp...

He came closer...

My eyes popped out like beans 😳

'Ma...Ma... Mahir'

Our lips were cms away...

Next second he brought the glass of water infront of my face...

I gulped again...

😳

He softly whispered...

'Its just water Bela'

I blinked continuously and looked elsewhere...

Quickly took the glass of water and emptied in one go 😰😐

To noticed him suppressing his laughter...

I turned around while he poured some more from the jug to the glass ...

Slowly came near my ears...

'Relax...drink... You need more Mrs Nervous Nellie!!!'

Suppressing his laughter 🤭he quickly jumped out of the bed and left the room...

Idiot!!!

Stupid!!

Why does he make you so nervous Bela..

Urghhhh!!!!

Shaking my head to get rid of the thoughts I lied down again while I heard him play his guitar...

I heard him when I was in the penthouse...

But it wasn't too loud unlike our daughter 😂

But now I was up for a treat...

I heard him play...

It wasn't a sad song...like he played every night...

It was a beautiful romantic number...

Like old times ❤️

Like.... Love❤️

Stop it Bela...it's just music... Enjoy....

🎵🎶

Aahatein, Ho Rahin Teri,
Dil Ke Dar Pe Mere,
Tu Yahin Hai Kahin Na Kahin.
Aahatein, Ho Rahin Teri,
Dil Ke Dar Pe Mere,
Tu Yahin Hai Kahin.

Kabhi Mere Khwab Sa,
Kabhi Uljhe Jawaab Sa,
Ke Chanda Mein Bhi Daag Sa,
Mere Jaisa Tu.
Ke Dariya Ka Ho Ik Sira,
Ke Armaano Ka Silsila,
Ke Sehra Mein Bhi Aab Sa,
Mere Jaisa Tu, Mere Jaisa Tu.

🎶🎵

As Musky was a little deep asleep....I couldn't stop myself from going out... adjusting Musky on my chest...

I took slow steps outside...

I saw he was sitting in the balcony...

He saw me.. and passed a billion dollar smile...

I could probably die right now ❤️

I sat infront of him...

On the sofa of living room...

And kept looking at him...

He continue looking into my eyes from that distance of Balcony...

While I rested myself on the sofa keeping my legs on the glass table and relaxed listening to the private concert by the one and only

Mahir Sehgal ❤️

He smiled and continued

🎵🎶

Tera Hoon Main, Tujhe Kyon Na Yaqeen Hai
Chaahat Mein Meri Aakhir Kya Kami Hai?
Tujhme Hi Toh Chhupi Meri Khudi Hai.
Meri Khudi Kuch Na Sahi.
Kuch Na Sahi, Kuch Na Sahi.

Aahatein, Ho Rahin Teri,
Dil Ke Dar Pe Mere,
Tu Yahin Hai Kahin.

Kabhi Mere Khwab Sa,
Kabhi Uljhe Jawaab Sa,
Ke Chanda Mein Bhi Daag Sa,
Mere Jaisa Tu.
Ke Tu Hi Dariya Ka He Ik Sira,
Ke Armaanon Ka Silsila,
Ke Sehra Mein Bhi Aab Sa,
Mere Jaisa Tu, Mere Jaisa Tu.

Aahatein, Ho Rahin Teri,
Dil Ke Dar Pe Mere,
Tu Yahin Hai Kahin Na Kahin.

🎶🎵

His melodious voice was like a lullaby to both me and Musky...

I don't know when my eyes started getting heavy and I drifted to sleep ❤️
