******"
Since the majority voted for Aarav, it is going to be the baby's name.

And do not worry, a lot of stories are on the way so the names will be definitely used somewhere❤🤗.

"How am I looking, mom? " Mahir asked Sumi for the tenth time.

Sumi glared at him in return.
"How many times do you want to listen that YOU ARE LOOKING GOOD IN BLACK SHIRT. Should I make a tattoo of that on my hand? " She huffed, gritting her teeth.

Mahir had already spent around two hours choosing his outfit.
The one who always says "I don't care about my looks" Took whole 2 hours even then he wasn't satisfied.

Does Bela like black? I hope I am not looking like a cartoon.

"Opss... Who is this pathetic ass? " Ajitabh walked out of the kitchen tossing a piece of chips in his mouth.

Mahir rolled his eyes while Ajitabh tried to sit beside Vish who was caressing sleeping Aarav.
Andy and Sumi were desperately waiting for him to wake up so that they can play with them.

Andy pushes Ajitabh to another side, as he blocked his sweet view.
Ajitabh fell on the floor with a thud.

Nobody even bothered to look at him.
"Racist" He stood up rubbing his back.

Chips were safe as Andy caught the bowl in time.

Ignoring him, Mahir asked"Okay... For the last time, how do I look? "

"Dog/handsome/Cartoon" Ajitabh, Vish, and Andy said at the same time while Sumi just sighed dramatically.

"Someone bring me a pair of tongs" She glared at Mahir.

She just said to threaten Mahir but Ajitabh actually ran to the kitchen.

He came back with lightning speed "here mom."

Sumi took it from him smiling politely at him. Ajitabh thought she was going to hit Mahir but all his dreams get shattered when he felt a hard blow on his ass.

"Mom? " He looked at her with a crying face.

Aarav giggled loudly looking at Ajitabh.

Seeing him giggling, everyone moved to him. "Aww, my baby" They said at the same time poking his cheeks and stomach.

"When did he wake up" Ajitabh asked rubbing his back again.

Baby kept giggling looking at Ajitabh.

"Ajit come here" Vish called him near her sweetly.

As soon as he moved closer. she pulled his hair in her fist.
Ajitabh screamed in pain.

Baby chuckled loudly earning various "awww" From the surrounding.

Aarav faced looked magical. His giggling made a happy environment. Everyone was pleased looking at the cute baby.

Even Ajitabh didn't mind after looking at his laughing face.

"Now I know how to make him happy" Vish enthused, twinkling her eyes.

Ajitabh gulped his saliva thinking of all the possible ways he was going to be exploited.

Mahir gave a devilish grin to him.

Between all the playing and teasings, the doorbell rang.

Mahir's heartbeat rises listening to the bell. He quickly straighten his clothes, combing his hair with his fingers he blushed.

He screamed-stop the house help who was going open the door.
"I will open the door" He rushed.

He took a deep breath, turned around to ask how he is looking but found everyone busy in playing with the baby.

Mahir slowly opened the door, "well... You? "
His mood gets spoiled when he sees one of Vish's friends standing at the door instead of Bela.

"OMG... Am I dreaming? Mr. Hottie Seghal is welcoming me. Aww so sweet" She battled her eyelashes, blushing slightly.

This is not what I expected.

Mahir gave a tight-lipped smile to her, nodding at her he stepped aside.

Vidhi kept gazing at him without moving an inch.

Mahir was getting pretty uncomfortable. The girl in front of him was trying to make him fall for her from a long time.

He disliked only one thing about Vish that is her best friend who was trying to lure from the past few months.

She returned back to India six months before for one of her cousin's wedding from New York. And being Vish's bestie she visited the Seghal house many a times during which she developed a huge crush on Mahir.

She found many ways to be near him but Mahir Ji who has been totally whipped since the day Bela Ji entered his heart maintained a decent distance from her.

She tried to join his Enterprise as an intern, she thought she would be close to Mahir but smart Mahir handed her the work of their other branch which was far away from the main branch.

She was annoyed but didn't give up. She promised herself to win him.

Being conscious of her intense gaze, Mahir fake coughed.

She came out of her Lala land and moved inside to meet everyone.

Mahir had a scowl on his face since his mood was spoiled.

He was about to close the door when he heard a sweet voice he was dying to hear.

"Excuse me. Can I meet Mr. Mahir seghal? "

My name from her mouth feels like heaven.

Grinning widely, he ran to her.
He was running so fast that he landed outside his house when he intended to land beside her.

Cursing himself, he returned back to her.

"Hi" He said with an over-excited smile which creeped out the watchman.

"Hello, Mr. Mahir" Bela smiled at him.

Overexcited cute guy

Mahir kept admiring her.
She looks gorgeous. Baby pink shirt and black jeans with Long circular earrings. My princess. That jingling smile on her face makes my heartbeat rush.
How badly I want to squeeze her in my arms. I want to feel her. It stills feels like a dream that she is before me. I wish I could just hide her in my heart. I wish I could hide her in my arms protecting her from the whole world. I wish I could get her soothing forehead kiss. I want to just sit beside her, I want to feel the solace of her being near me.

Tears threatened to roll down his eyes. His hands started shivering. He took a deep breath, composing himself, he said " C... Come inside the house"

Bela nodded at him before following him.

"Mom Dad see who is here " Mahir chirped happily.

"Who? " Sumi tried to look behind him.

Mahir gets aside "Bela. The one who is going to work on our house interiors"

Andy smiled cockily at Mahir to which he blushed.

"She is going to work on? " Sumi raised her eyebrow at him.

Mahir looked at her horrified. He signs Andy to talk to her but Andy turns his head away.

I am doomed

Bela was fidgeting with her fingers under different looks.

A soft smile from Andy and Vish, a nervous smile from Ajitabh, a weird kind of glare from Vidhi, and a daily soap mother-in-law glare from Sumi.

She was getting nervous about all the attention. She has worked with many clients but she never felt this conscious.

"Just a minute" He said to Bela in a wet-cat voice.

Bela nodded at him.

He dragged Sumi along with him.

Meanwhile, Andy asked her to sit and relax. He asked her about her work specialization. He was clearly impressed with her.

She has achieved so much at such a young age

He appreciated her efforts.

"Who is this sweet girl" Vish nudged Ajitabh.

"The one who made your husband incapable of becoming a father again"
Ajitabh said in a monotonous tone.

"Wow! What a strong girl" Vish clapped excitedly.

Ajitabh glared at her "are you sure you are MY WIFE? " Vish didn't bother to answer him.

Mahir came up with a beaming smile on his face that's when Andy knew he had convinced Sumi.

Mahir came running like a butterfly and that's where everything went against him as he fell on the floor on his face.

Everyone was cool with it except Bela and Vidhi who freaked out.

Vidhi quickly ran to him and helped him stand up.

Bela was still shocked at what happen.
Mahir walked like a Penguin towards Bela with a red face mumbling a small "thank you " To Vidhi.

"Are you fine Mr. Seghal?" Bela asked worriedly.

Mahir nodded looking down.

Bela wanted to pull his red cheeks. He was acting like an innocent baby but it was professionally wrong so she kept her hands to herself.

"From where you will start Bela dear" Sumi asked Bela.

"Umm...first I need to look at the whole house Mam" Bela smiled at her.

"Okay... Mahir show her the house".

Mahir went forward with his head still hung low.

Bela got the signal and quietly followed him.

Vidhi was left fuming, wondering why Mahir was behaving like a lost puppy around an unknown girl.

I don't know when I will start history fiction but right now I want you all to know about a great person of our history who according to me is not very celebrated.

"Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar"

He is the person who fought for education rights for women. He wanted women to be financially independent after the British government abolished 'sati pratha' for which Raja Ram Mohan Roy fought a lot.

Ishwar Ji believed that Women must be educated and be financially independent because after the abolishment of 'kupratha' they were illtreated after their husband's death because the family took them as a burden.

There is much more to read about him and also about the great personalities who are not much celebrated but have fought with bravery.

Also, women's condition was very well till the early Vedic civilization.

But then wars happened, they became vulnerable to fights and bloodshed. Eventually, it converted into a myth that women folks are weak. (possibly one of the reasons).

Actually, I wanted to add all this in the last update(Bela's pov) only but I forgot 😅.

Please ignore grammatical mistakes.

Thanks for reading❤.
