Bela's POV:

I was standing in the lobby area of Sehgals resort.

It was the same resort I came yesterday!!!

I saw a bunch of policemen and a minister stepping out of the resort!

Influential 😏

Although I didn't know Mahir owned the resort till yesterday I know what had he turned into all these years!!!

Huhhh!!! Finally turned a businessman Mahir Sehgal?

Comeon Bela... You taught him well didn't you

Stop!!! Stop!!! Not the past again!

I so wish I hadn't! District Magistrate officer Mahir Sehgal was way better than this Businessman Mahir Sehgal!

Before coming here you forgot Bela...

Mahir will try using all his contacts being an ex officer!!! How could you forget that Bela!!! Atleast if he was a DM now he couldn't have gone corrupt! But now he has a free hand! He's a mad bull!

Power and position both!

But Bela you have an extra weapon!

Money!

Come on! Let's get our hands dirty!!!

I stepped into his lavish cottage in the resort!!!

Akki was already sitting there along with a young man.... probably Akki's assistant!

He was sitting on his Italian single seater recliner!!! And shooting me with his eyes!

I shot him a glare back!!!

Just then I got a call from Suhani my PA...

'Mam...looks like Delhi office has some issues... We just got a call from the officials saying some problem with the land and they want to meet you or Grewal Sir! But you know mam Grewal Sir left to Paris instead of you for a month! So.... I guess you will have to!!'

'Ill handle it Suhani' I said and cut the call.

I shot him a glare!

I knew I had created a Frankenstein's monster!!!

Monster Mahir Sehgal 😠

He smirked at his move!

Ohhhh....wait for mine Mr Sehgal!!!

Akki noted it! She knew me well!

Soon Mahir was greeted by his receptionist saying...

'Sir...looks like someone has bought the land in and around the resort even the one which was our route and are soon starting construction work! Looks like they are going to start a news printing press here Sir! Which means noise on all 4 sides of the resort, plus they are also leaving a narrow road for us to come in! With that luxury vehicles and SUV's can't enter our resort Sir! It's like we are going to be trapped! This seems like a big one to destroy us Sir!"

He heard that and shot me a glare!

Now was my turn to smirk 😏

I put my legs upon the other leg and leaned on the sofa!

Give up Mahir Sehgal...I may have taught you and prepped you but I'm still your teacher! I have better tricks!

Give up!

Just then we heard a voice!

'If you both are done with your chess with life! Can we behave like matured people?"

Akki said...

'What did I do Akki' I said smirking
'Ofcourse Nothing you innocent little witch!!! Wait for the retaliation! Not so easily'

'Shutup you both!!! I'm seeing you both from 2 days... I have been explaining you both on and on again!

It's not your ego or your past that matters here!

It's the child!

She is 5 day old for god's sake!

Have some mercy you shameless piece of poops!'

She cussed!!!

'If you both are not able to understand the criticality of the situation being Brinda's lawyer I'll have to send the child to foster care!' she announced.

That's when both Mahir and myself....

We both got serious!

There was pin drop silence in the room!

'Would you both want to still continue your stupid business tricks or want to meet Muskaan?'

She asked....

We both nodded our heads
..

Soon Sowbhagya came carrying the little one...

She was so cute ❤️

My heart melted the minute I saw her...

Her nose was just like Brinda Di ❤️

Her golden brown hair was just like mine 😍

She had little feet and palms...

Her round face was also like Brinda Di❤️😍

She was her reflection...

My eyes welled up seeing that tiny little angel...

I wanted to hold her...

Looks like he also wanted to hold her...

We both took a step each to hold the child.

And shot each other fire 🔥 glares!

Hatred oozed from our eyes😡

'You both won't get to even look at her if you both are behaving like that Bela Mahir... ' Akki threatened us!

For her loud voice looks like she stretched a little before I could react I saw Mahir softly touched her finger and sung ...

🎵🎶
Incy wincy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed poor incy out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
So incy wincy spider
Climbed up the spout again
(Ah ee ah ee ahh...)
(Ah ee ah ee ahh...)
🎵🎶

I don't know what happened to my anger at that minute...

I couldn't stop smiling 🤭

I mean Mahir sings very well! We both love music!!!

If I taught him his MBA subjects he taught me music 🎶

But I could never imagine Mahir singing a incy wincy spider ever in my life!

I controlled my laugh!

Infact all of us were all smiles...

But Mahir was busy singing the rhymes 🤭

Cute

But what I saw next shocked me...

She went quiet hearing him...

Infact now she was holding his little finger and sleeping peacefully 😢

I looked elsewhere to wipe my tears...🥺

I blinked through them...

After sometime she was quiet...

Sow placed her on the little couch...

I went near her and was observing her closely ❤️

She looked so tiny... so cute...❤️

How lucky are people who experience this emotion ❤️ I thought to myself.

Just then it reminded me...

We are here to fight it for her?

This little fragile angel 💓

Mahir's POV:

I knew it's tough fighting it out with Bela!

She was a rich business magnet!

But all my thoughts washed away &

My eyes pooled again 🥺 when I saw her...

My little cute lifeline ❤️

'Take my money, take my position, take my power everything Bela!

Give me Muskaan! I can't imagine my empty life without her😢'

I said in a croaked up voice...

I blinked through again...

Just then Akki said...

'Mahir... She can't do that... You both have to Co-parent her... She can't let go!!!'

'She can do that easily... She has to only marry her boyfriend! That's it! And then I can have Musky all to myself...' I said

And I saw she was shocked!!

'Mahir... You think all this is so simple...it's life Ma'

In a hurry burry looks like a glass fell from Akki's hands and broke making a noise...

In reflex action first thing striked me was Musky...

And she already starter crying...

She was sensitive!

But before I run back...

Bela had already picked her up and pressed her closer to her chest and was now cooing her...

I suddenly saw Musky go all silent!

That doesn't happen right!?

She's meeting Bela for the first time!!!

She..... she has a bond with her ?

Just then after humming a few minutes... I saw Musky sleep peacefully...

I wanted to touch her pink little fingers.. ❤️

So I went near Bela and touched Musky's finger and she quickly caught it not letting my finger go...

And in her other hand she clenched Bela's scarf tightly

She wasn't ready to let go both...

That's when we looked at each other in unison....

Our eyes met...

After a long long time I noticed emotions in those brownish black deep eyes...

There was the same depth that had the capacity to drown me 4 years ago...

Our trance was broken by Akki's voice...

'She needs you both guys!!!

She needs both mother and father!

I hope you both are not that dumb on why Brinda left you both to Co-parent the child together!

Think about it guys!

You both can give her the much needed family she deserves!

Think again!!! And for once step away from your past and see that little one's face and take a call!'

Akki said...

While I and Bela both were shocked!

Frozen infact!🥺

But Musky was hellbent to not let her grip loose!

Stubborn like her godmother!!!

We both stood there and were deep in our thoughts...

We drifted back into our past....

Our dreaded past!!!

Our union!

Our marriage!

And

Our divorce!!!

We looked into each other's eyes to recall our 11 months of relationship!!!

When Bela and Mahir were two 'unknown' People...

Who later became inseperable...

Inseperable as 'Behir'

Yup!!! That's what my friends and her cousins called us!!!

Which ofcourse met a dead end with a disastrous divorce!!!

Our.....past.....😢

Our incomplete marriage 😢
