"What's because of you Bhai?", Came a voice

Mahir looked up only to find Yuvi gawing at him with his predator eyes.

"Nothing", Mahir said moving ahead

Yuvi looked at him suspiciously, he knew something was wrong.. not that he wants to interfere, but he couldn't see his brother nor Bela like this roaming gloomily ignoring eachother.

Thinking to discuss it with Vish about it, he also went downstairs to drop Bela to her hospital.

***

A couple of days passed by and Bela was just gloomy thinking about how her life took a drastic turn in a span of few minutes.

Everyone noticed the change in her behaviour but none of them asked her any giving her needed space.

She got up determined from her place to know what's going on in Mahir's mind. After these two days she had millions of thoughts of running in her mind and heart and eventually she realised a few things.. well, better late than never.

From all the fights they had initially till all the cute looks they shared, she knew they had come a long way.

She din't knew how but was sure that he had occupied her heart in such a way that she couldn't think of anything other than him.

If this is what people called love, then yeah.. she loves him.

She stood from her place looking at his photo in her phone which she got from Yuvi the other day, a small smile crept her lips thinking of him.

"You make me feel all the butterflies I had never experienced Mahir.. you are the only one who make me think what to speak where otherwise I'm hell talkative..

It's just you where I become all shy yet being myself, I don't even know if I'm thinking right but I want you by my side Mahir.. I love spending time with you even when you speak very less, your presence is only something which makes me happy.. you just make me happy..

And probably I'm just choosing my happiness by choosing you.. you asked me that day right, that why I want to give us a chance, this marriage a chance.. it's coz my feelings and emotions for you grew so much that now I probably can't keep them to myself..

After all these days of our meeting, and these two days of missing you.. I know that I have fallen hard for you Mahir. I had fell in love you with, deeply and madly in love with you that now there's no way I can back off..

I Love You Mahir", Bela whispered caressing her phone screen

She kept smiling realising her newly built feelings like a love seek teenager.. she could never understand why people keep smiling like idiots but now when she's in the same place she knew love makes you do all weird things.

He's her first love, may be that's why she couldn't find her one so far.. coz he's the one for her, her only one!

"I'm dying to tell this to you Mahir, but you clearly rejected me on my face.. I mean what's even wrong with you?

I mean, I'm sure no girl would love you if you keep that poker face all the time.. and here I'm who fell for that only, how could you say no when so much happened?", Bela fummed thinking of his rude behaviour

"Okay chill, now think Bela what should you do? First I should know why he doesn't want to accept me.. whatever it is, I'm gonna get him all for myself.. i wouldn't let him go just like that, and when he's my husband why would I?", Bela kept thinking what to do

She just moved out of her room going towards Mahir's room while she stopped seeing the lights on near the basement, confused of who's there at this time she went down and her jaw dropped looking at Mahir shirtless lifting weights.

She looked at how he's just in his track pants while his upper body was covered with sweat, she looked at how it was dripping down his abs and for a moment she felt to keep looking at his well built body.

"Damn Bela, I never understood why people drool like this.. I mean we have seen so many actors shirtless but c'mon seeing the person you love this way gives a total different chills within you"

"Wahh, I can probably become a love guru if this continues", Bela smirked at herself

She slowly moved down walking near him, and Mahir lifted his head sensing someone to meet with Bela's drooling eyes.

"You?", Mahir asked

"What are you doing?", Bela asked

"You can't see?", Mahir glared at her

"I can, but who does this at 10 at night?", Bela asked confused

"Me", Mahir answered blankly continuing his work

"You had food a few hours ago Mahir, it isn't good for your health", Bela said concerned

"You need both bother Bela", Mahir said

"Haww, who will bother if it's not me Mahir?", Bela said dramatically

"What do you mean", Mahir asked looking at her

"I mean, wouldn't it be a wife's duty to take care of her husband?", Bela asked innocently

Mahir dropped the dumble in his hand listening to Bela's statement and Bela jumped in her place scared of the sound.

"What the hell, are you planning to kill me or what?", Bela screamed in horror

"What did you say?", Mahir asked

"I asked if you are planning to kill me", Bela frowned

"No, before that", Mahir said

"I said it's my duty to take care of you as a wife", Bela said

"Bela, I had already told you I don't accept this marriage", Mahir whispered yelled

"Mahir marriage is always two sided, it can never work on one person's decision.. like I want this marriage, it wouldn't work unless you want the same.. similarly it wouldn't break also when it's just you who doesn't want it", Bela explained

"You are confusing", Mahir frowned

"No, you are only getting confused Mahir", Bela face palmed herself

"Bela, I'm telling you again.. I don't accept you as my wife so you better forget all this and concentrate on your life", Mahir warned her

"And what if I say this is my life now?", Bela asked leaving Mahir blank

Mahir was already having a tough time not having a glance at Bela, somehow his day starts with her and ends with her. And these two days when Bela stared avoiding him he realised how important her presence is in his life yet felt helpless.

He couldn't believe his anger issues are coming back which he could manage with Bela although unknown to her.. he fired four employees in a span of two days and his PA, Nisha was more scared of her job right now.

He was working out late this night only to divert his mind from all these and he couldn't understand what Bela was saying.

How much he wanted her, his mind kept saying to stay away from all these emotions and Mahir couldn't help but keep Bela away.

"Bela you will end up getting hurt", Mahir said

"I'm ready to face everything that comes my way Mahir", Bela said determined

"Bela..", Mahir was saying while Bela interrupted

"Stop doing this and go to your room, and never workout at this odd hour Mahir", Bela said demanding

"I'll, you leave first", Mahir said

"No, unless you go back to your room I'm not moving an inch", Bela said

Mahir rolled his eyes knowing how stubborn Bela is.. he just picked his water bottle moving ahead but stopped when he heard Bela.

"You don't have to workout so much Mahir, you already have such a hot body", Bela said pressing her lips

Mahir turned around looking at her teasing face and before he could tell any Bela ran away smiling to herself.

Mahir went to his room looking at himself in the mirror, he remembered Bela's words and smiled thinking of it.

"She's crazy", Mahir mumbled

He looked again at the mirror and found himself blushing, and realising what he was just doing he came back to reality moving to the washroom.

***

"Oh my god Aunty, this is so funny", Bela laughed seeing some photos

"Yeah, Mahir was always this neat and clean while Yuvi was always messed up since childhood", Sumi smiled seeing there childhood album

"Hey what's happening without me?", Yuvi yelled from the stairs

"Come, we are seeing your childhood pics.. Bela wanted to see them", Sumi said

"Tell the truth Bela, you want to see ours or someone special?", Yuvi raised his eyebrows

"I actually wanted to see Mahir's

Photo, but honestly your's are more interesting than his", Bela said looking at the album

"Woahh too honest haa", Yuvi said surprised seeing her accept it so cool

"Well, this is Mahir or Yuvi Aunty? They look quite similar in childhood", Bela asked observing the picture

"It's Mahir, I still remember Andy was trying take his photo and he being the shy one started hiding inside the bucket", Sumi laughed remembering it

Bela looked back at the photo in her hand and staring it for a brief second, she ended up laughing hard looking at the innocent Mahir standing naked inside the bucket probably at the age of one or two..

"Thi.. this is so funny Aunty", Bela laughed even more

Mahir, who just arrived from his office looked at Bela who's laughing her heart out and a small smile formed his lips seeing her so happy.

Yuvi noticed Mahir and moved towards him.

"Don't smile too much Bhai, she's laughing at you only", Yuvi whispered in his ears

"What?", Mahir asked confused

Yuvi pressed his lips controlling his smile and showed Mahir the photo album in Sumi's lap, Mahir's eyes widen realising the fact that probably Bela is laughing at some weird funny photo of his.

He quickly kept his bag aside approaching Bela in long strides but before he could do any further, Bela turned back looking at him and loosing his balance he feel straight on Bela who fell back on the couch with the force.

Bela kept looking into his eyes with a slight blush forming her cheeks and Mahir almost forgot what was just happening and felt completely drowning in her eyes which now held so much love for him.

Sumi and Yuvi looked at them shocked, Yuvi smirked and quickly dailed Kuhu who's in her room only coz he knows as much as he loves teasing the both even Kuhu enjoys the same and being a good brother he din't want his sister to miss this scene.

Kuhu came down in a hurry and her jaw dropped seeing Bela and Mahir that close to eachother, and both not moving an inch staring at the other.

Yuvi took his phone taking a couple of pictures while Sumi looked at her kids in disbelief..

"Shutup and get back to your rooms", Sumi whispered

"But maa..", Kuhu was speaking when Sumi interrupted

"Go, both of you", Sumi glared

Once Yuvi and Kuhu left the place, Sumi looked at Bela and Mahir for once and smiling she too left the place.

While Mahir hands where on either sides on Bela, Bela held his waist for support.

"Mahir", Bela whispered

"Hm", Mahir hummed looking at her

"My neck is paining", Bela said

Mahir frowned at her and realising he's practically lying on her, quickly backed off standing at his place while Bela gave a knowing smirk to him.

"Help me", Bela said forwarding her hand

Mahir looked at her surprised, he din't understand if Bela was behaving weird or he was feeling this way.

He rolled his eyes, giving her his hand and pulled her towards him such that Bela almost hugged him.

She smiled eyeing him, and wrapped her arms softly around him hugging him keeping her head on his chest.

Mahir stood there froze at her unexpected move, he almost felt his heart go numb feeling her so close to him.

Unknowingly, his hands reached her back hugging her and Bela gave a winning smile tightening her hold on him.

"I know you feel for me Mahir, I can surely feel it.. and if there's anything that's stopping you from accepting this then I'll make sure you open up.. I'll make sure to get my husband back", Bela thought

Bela felt as if she can spend her entire life in his arms like this peacefully, but now feeling content of his reaction she slowly backed off looking at him while Mahir felt embarassed thinking how he hugged her back.

He kept looking here and there not meeting her eyes and moved away from the place leaving a smiling Bela behind.

While Bela was smiling looking at Mahir's regarding figure, Yuvi and Kuhu who where observing everything standing to a corner had there mouth wide open seeing what just happened.

"What just happened Bhai?", Kuhu whispered

"I thought it was Bhai who was smitten, but it's probably vive versa kuhu", Yuvi whispered back

Kuhu nodded agreeing to Yuvi and they both went towards Bela who's still smiling thinking of Mahir.

"Ahem", Yuvi cleared his throat

"Hey Yuvi", Bela smiled

"What just happened?", Kuhu asked

"You saw?", Bela asked

They both nodded and Bela smiled at them.

"Then why are you asking again?", Bela raised her eyebrow

"Can you elaborate?", Yuvi frowned at her

"There's nothing to elaborate Yuvi", Bela said pinching his cheeks and left the place

"Did she just pinch my cheeks Kuhu?", Yuvi asked confused

"Did she just be so causal Bhai?", Kuhu asked

"Trust me these two are weird, I mean.. I don't know, they are just weird", Yuvi said ruffling his hair

They both sighed going to there respective rooms while Bela was full of smiles thinking of that small yet a intimate hug they shared a few minutes ago.

"I Love You Mahir", Bela whispered looking at the picture

"And I love teasing you as well.. so here, I'm coming", Bela thought heading to his room

She peeped inside and found him removing his tie and smirking she went inside standing behind him.

Mahir looked at her through the mirror and turned around looking at her.

"Need some help Mahir?", Bela asked softly

"No thanks, you can leave", Mahir spoke

"I din't come to leave though", Bela smirked

"Well Mahir, must say you looked real cute at this age.. I probably wasn't born that time right?", Bela said looking at the photo in her hand

"Give that to me Bela", Mahir asked

"It's cute Mahir, let me keep it with me", Bela smiled sheepishly

"Bela, I said give that to me.. it's mine", Mahir approached her

"What's your's and mine Mahir.. it's our right? We are wife and husband afterall", Bela smirked to Mahir's surprise

Mahir looked at Bela trying to analyse what's going on in her mind and took a few steps towards her while Bela stepped back until she reached the wall.

She looked at him when Mahir locked her with his arm and Bela looked at him not knowing what's he's upto.
