Although Mahir was not required more for the day he still chose to stay there shamelessly. Of course to keep an eye on Rohit.

Will anyone know if I punch him?

Everyone was busing in their work while he was sitting quietly in the corner trying to analyze the height of the window and Rohit.

He seems to me 70 kgs but I can only lift up to 50 kgs. If I call my gym trainer we can together lift him and throw him I guess. Yeah, that's right! And if not then the gym trainer needs to fired!

"Sir? Coffee? " The same old lady asked him again.

And for a second Mahir changed his facial expressions from grumpy koala to a smiling horse, "sure". He was in no mood to go back home.

Bela was explaining something on the whiteboard to five members, one of them being Rohit. Everyone was focused on the board but Rohit's eyes were more focused on Bela's baby hair as he tried to pluck them behind her ear. Before he could proceed, Mahir quickly got up from his seat and marched towards them, he even climbed on the table only to reach Bela sooner. He grabbed Rohit's hand in mid-air and jerked away.

Everyone was shocked to find him near Bela just in a matter of two seconds.

"Ha... Ha... Ha... Wow! You explain so nicely! " Mahir quickly said before Bela could ask him anything.

He silently picked up a chair and adjusted it beside Bela. While she was standing flustered.  " Please continue" He said.

This time Bela's hand was shaking under his intense gaze. She tried to focus on the other five members but it didn't help much.

"Coffee" The old lady, Marie said forwarding the tray, he took the coffee smiling politely at her.

When she went away and everyone was focused on Bela's words, he sneakily put the hot coffee cup on Rohit's hand as he sat on his other side.

Rohit screamed in pain. "Oh sorry, sorry " Mahir quickly got up acting all innocent.

"Are you fine Rohit? " Bela ran towards him.

Seeing Bela running towards Rohit, Mahir put the same Cup on his hand and he too screamed in pain.

"Mr.Sehgal" Bela yelled running towards Mahir.

"What the hell is happening today? "  She shook her head in disbelief.
"Marie, bring ice and ointment. Mr. Sehgal, come with me " She said dragging Mahir with her to her other cabin.

She made him sit on the couch beside her. "Is it burning? " She was getting worried.
"Haa phooo Karo na " Mahir said making a cry baby face and Bela unconsciously followed.

Mahir kept looking at her adoringly. She was blowing air on his hand and he was happily watching her with twinkling eyes, like a child who got a bar of chocolate after many requests. He wished the day to stop there. She was looking cute. Just her attention and he was more than fine.

Marie came running inside "here. Take this child" She forwarded the ice tray and even put it on his hand.

Mahir suddenly felt bad for making them worry. "I am sorry...

" It's okay child. Next time I will serve you coffee in a thermal flask" Marie cut him off and kept rubbing his one hand with ice

Mahir chuckled imagining himself to be drinking coffee from a flask.

Bela applied the ointment on his hand "I am so sorry ...it's just your first day in our office and this happened to you. I thought I will make it a good day for you but... I am so sorry" She was sad. Looking at her face it was clear that she wanted to reverse the events.

Mahir felt guilty for making her sad, " You don't need to be sorry Bela. It was me, I am clumsy, I am accident-prone. Let me tell you I just loved your co-operation, Your efforts, Your team everything. Being here it feels like family. It gives homely vibes. I am sorry that you felt bad due to my clumsy habits" He genuinely voiced out.

"No Mr. Seghal  I am sorry " Bela quickly said.

"No Bela... Okay fine. No one is sorry. It's alright okay. No need to be sad " Mahir smiled at her to which she nodded happily.

The rest of the day just passed like that. Mahir being a honey bee to his flower not allowing any other bee to even see her.

He only left when Rohit left.

BELA

What a tiring day it was! But I am glad   Mahir sir liked our work till here. We are on right track. I hope it just goes like this.

I reached home to see Mom reading a book. Umm... Basically sleeping with the book opened on her face.

I chuckled at her. How many times I have told her not to wait for me but she never agrees.

I shook her " Thief...thief...thief " She quickly stood up in an attention position.

"Mom it's me" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Oh! sorry. " She smiled sheepishly at me.

I kissed her forehead and went to freshen up.

"How was your day? " Mom asked serving me my favorite chole bhtoore.

Yum!

"Terrific" I replied gobbling down the bhatoora

" You know mom, Mahir sir is so down to earth. And he is very sweet and the best part is he loved our work. I can't tell you how happy I am! " I squealed to which Mumma laughed.

"Really? " She gave me a teasing smile making me blush.

"He is a good client in fact best client we ever had" I said in a low voice trying to hide my extra-large smile.

Mom just chuckled.

******
I drove to Mahir sir's house. The rest of my team was supposed to join later.

I reached there to see his family sitting in the living room.

I greeted his Mom, Dad, brother, sister-in-law, and girlfriend.

But he was nowhere to be seen.

"This is ready mom " I heard his voice from behind. I turned back to see him in a chef uniform with a spatula.

"Hi" He said with his ever charming smile.

"Hello " I greeted him back.

He ran back after that. Strange!

"Bela dear, come let's have breakfast" Andy sir chirped.

Oh! I like his happy and charming family.

"Thank you sir but I had my breakfast. I will just go and look at the working site" I smiled at him.

"Okay" His girlfriend quickly jumped in. "Go there. On that side, you will start with Aarav's room right? " She added.

Although she was beautiful I didn't like her tone much. I mean Mahir sir is a down-to-earth person in fact everyone in his family but she...

Anyway, I was for work there. I nodded at her and moved towards Baby's room.

"Bela, I want you to write Aarav here in the middle of this wall" I found Mr. Mahir dressed in a navy blue tuxedo, moving his hands on the wall, guiding me.

He changed so fast! Wow!

I nodded at him.

"And Pikachu just beside it" Mr. Ajitabh came running and stood beside Mahir sir.

"What a cute name, Pikachu " I grinned at him.

"Yeah! Right! I suggested it " Mahir sir chirped.

"When? " Ajitabh sir looked at him shocked.

What happened suddenly?

"The... D... The day he was born " Mr. Mahir screamed, pushing Ajitabh sir out of the room.

He sheepishly smiled at me, "my brother has a habit of forgetting things don't mind "

Before I could say anything there came another voice " Hottieeeeee! What are you doing here "

I saw him rolling his eyes.

"Let's watch a movie " She blinked her eyes multiple times shoving her face before his face.

"No" He deadpanned.

"Hottie! Please"

"I am helping Bela " He jumped away.

"It's okay sir. I will manage, you can go with your girlfriend " I smiled at him.

He looked at me horrified while his girlfriend blushed.

"What did you say? " He almost screamed.

Why did he look offended? I did some mistake?

"Mr.Ma.."

He grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him.

Dragging me to his room, he closed the door and pinned me on it.

"what did you say? " He was breathing heavily.

" I am sorry sir if you are offended. I didn't mean to disturb you" My heart was beating very fast. What if he canceled the project.

"she is not my girlfriend" He turned around.

Shit! Could not I keep my whale-sized mouth shut?

"Sir... I am sorry " I said in a croaked voice.

"You know she is behind me from a long time, I was avoiding her till now but today you gave her false hope. What if she thinks I like her too" he said in a low voice.

I felt bad for putting him in such a bad situation.

"Sorry sir" I hung my head low. I shouldn't have said that.

"You can correct your mistake" He said turning again, towards me.

"How? " I just wanted to correct my mistake anyhow.

"Be my girlfriend" He said looking in my eyes straight.

What?

"Sir? " My mouth hung low looking at him.
I assumed him to be a good guy.

"I mean. Pretend to be my girlfriend until she leaves from here."  He completed.

Okay! Still a good guy. But I can't... How can I? I have never dated anyone. Neither do I know anything about that love shit.

"Sir... I

" Bela, you gave her false hope. Now Only you can rectify your mistake. "He said in a no-nonsense voice.

" Sir... I..."

"Don't worry...I won't do anything which will make you uncomfortable. Not in front of anyone and not even when we are alone. You have my words. Just pretend to be my close one before her. That's it " He said with a slight smile.

Although I was still hesitant but nodded at him.

"You won't tell this to anyone" 

"I won't! Promise" He chirped.
