Mahir kept looking at her, not for her act but wondering how she always reads his mind so accurately.

"What will you eat?", Bela asked

"Whatever you order", Mahir shrugged

"Don't you have a taste Mahir? Come and select", Bela pulled him

Mahir kept looking at her and ordered as per what Bela told coz at the end Mahir wanted to taste what Bela loves.

They both slowly ate sitting to aside and time passed when everyone left the place and it was only Mahir and Bela there.

"I suppose even we should leave", Mahir said

"Don't be boring Mahir, you should enjoy this.. only we both sitting alone at this time", Bela blushed

"Ar'nt you being a little naughty?", Mahir glared seeing her blush

"What's wrong? I can be like this with you", Bela said

"Let's leave", Mahir asked

"Mahir, I wanna stay here for a while with you", Bela said looking at him

"But what are we gonna do here?", Mahir asked

"Just talk something na, a causal conversation?", Bela asked

"I don't know Bela", Mahir said

Bela frowned at his response and shoving his hands away settling herself on his lap making Mahir shock at her act.

"What's this?", Mahir asked

"Why? I'm heavy?", Bela asked

"Why do you think you ar'nt", Mahir asked

"I'm not fat okay? My bones are heavy", Bela pouted

"I never told anything", Mahir shrugged

Bela wrapped her arms around his neck while Mahir was only trying to analyse her moves.

"What do you think you are doing?", Mahir asked

"What do you think?", Bela asked back

"You are seducing me?", Mahir blurtted out

Bela looked at him and laughed hard listening to his statement while Mahir din't know where to hide his face with the embarassment.

"Mahir why do you think I'll seduce you when you yourself come to me?", Bela blushed

"I.. I never did", Mahir said looking aside

"Sure, it wasn't you who kissed me that day right?", Bela looked at him

Mahir looked up to meet her eyes which held no hesitation at all and here Mahir is struggling to even make an eye lock with her.

"Don't be a shy baby, although you look cute", Bela pinched his cheeks

"I'm not", Mahir said

"I can see that", Bela laughed

"Fine, will you get up?", Mahir asked

"I want another kiss", Bela stated

Mahir eye's widen listening to her, he wondered how she's being so bold and free while he's actually going all shy.

"We are going home", Mahir stated

"Only after you kiss me", Bela said clutching his neck

"We are in public Bela", Mahir tried to convince her

"So you are okay to do things in private?", Bela raised her eyebrow only trying to tease him

Mahir din't answer any and looked aside, he can't say no coz how much ever he denies it.. even he knows she's that women with whom he looses all his control.

Bela observed his expression and placed a quick peck on his lips making Mahir part his lips in shock.

"Wha.. what did you do?", Mahir asked

"I did this", Bela said pecking his lips again

Mahir looked down still feeling her lips on his while Bela was already a blushing mess.

She bent forward kissing his cheek and and the sensual touch Bela was giving him made him loose all his sane.

He just lost his mind and tilted her face sucking through her neckline while Bela caressed her hand in his messy hair gripping in her fist.

Mahir couldn't get enough of her and kept leaving multiple hickey's all over her neck and to add on, Bela's soft moan made him unstoppable with her.

His hand reached her sleeve pulling it down her shoulder leaving multiple kisses down her arm traveling to her cleavage brushing his lips on her breasts.

Bela felt her heart beat rising hard the moment she felt his lips on her breasts while his hands reached her leg pushing her dress up traveling towards her bare thigh.

A sexy moan left Bela's mouth when Mahir took her skin between his lips and her hold on his shirt tightened throwing her head back giving Mahir more access.

"Mahir", Bela whispered having a complete zoo dancing in the pit of her stomach

"What are you doing to me Bela?", Mahir asked caressing her thigh with his warm palms

Mahir buried his face in the crook of her neck feeling the warmth of her skin while Bela kept caressing his hair staying in the same position for a while.

"This is wrong Bela", Mahir spoke after a pause

"It's wrong if you ar'nt sure of your feelings Mahir.. but I'm clear about my feelings and I don't think I'm doing anything wrong with you", Bela confessed softly

"What do you feel for me Bela?", Mahir asked lifting his head

"I want you as my husband Mahir, I want you to accept our marriage and welcome me as your wife", Bela said with moist eyes

"I can't Bela, I will never be able to meet your expectations", Mahir whispered

"We can work it out together, let's just stay together Mahir", Bela caressed his cheek

"I'm sorry Bela", Mahir said slowly

"But what's the issue Mahir? You can share if there's anything troubling you.. we can solve it together", Bela whispered

"Let's go home Bela", Mahir said lifting her in his arms

Bela looked at her dress which was lifted till her thigh and Mahir gulped seeing her milky soft legs. He quickly looked aside while Bela adjusted her dress.

He moved forward and made Bela sit in the passenger seat while Bela held his shirt in her fist.

"Mahir, don't you like me?", Bela asked on the verge of tearing up

"Let's discuss later Bela", Mahir said going to his seat

He started driving while Bela kept looking outside the window, she din't know if she gotta be happy for the little progress they developed today or be sad that Mahir is again back to square one.

She couldn't understand what's troubling Mahir about this issue and couldn't ask anyone either. She wanted to hear it from Mahir alone but din't know what to do.

Next day, Mahir came downstairs getting ready and Sumi came frowning at him.

"Mahir, you should have informed before only that you have to go to Delhi today", Sumi said complaining

"Sorry Maa, it just slipped my mind.. I'll will be back soon", Mahir said

"How many days?", Andy asked

"Three days Maa, Yuvi will be here only", Mahir said

"Why is that so Bhai? I share equal responsibilities, then how come you have work in Delhi and I don't?", Yuvi asked

"Coz I'm going for a meeting there while you can handle things here", Mahir glared at Yuvi

"You should have simply said you din't want me to tag along Bhai", Yuvi scrunched his nose

Kuhu laughed out loud while Bela stood there shooting daggers at Mahir.

"Does he really have a meeting, or he's just trying to run away from me?", Bela thought

"What's running in your mind Di?", Kuhu asked seeing her glare at Mahir

"Your brother is one asshole Kuhu", Bela said still looking at Mahir

Kuhu controlled her laugh while Bela left to her room.

Mahir completed his breakfast and was about to leave but stopped his way when he din't find Bela around.

"Where did this idiot go now? She would always be roaming here otherwise", Mahir thought looking around

"Seems like our son is looking for someone Sumi", Andy said teasing

"Um no, I'll just come", Mahir said going upstairs

Mahir opened Bela's room door and bumped with Bela.

"Idiot, couldn't you knock and come?", Bela yelled rubbing her nose

"Don't I have the right to come to your room?", Mahir asked

"My husband has the right to come whenever he wants.. are you my husband?", Bela glared at him

Mahir rolled his eyes at how Bela comes back to the same topic again.

"I'm leaving to Delhi now", Mahir informed

"Wow, so you finally felt to inform me right? Great", Bela snapped

"Won't you come down?", Mahir asked ignoring her words

"You want me to?", Bela asked looking at him

Mahir nodded and Bela gave a small smile for the fact that she is important in his life.

"Come", Bela said going down along with him

All the eyes looked up seeing Mahir come with Bela followed by a smirk.

"Oh so you went for Bela?", Andy smiled

"No uncle, I only came since he's leaving", Bela said

"Good job Bela", Yuvi smirked

"For?", Bela asked confused

"For covering up for Bhai", Kuhu replied and everyone laughed hard while Bela scrunched her nose

"Okay fine, you leave now", Bela said looking at Mahir

"Haww Bela, you are shooing away Bhai?", Yuvi asked

"What's the difference Yuvi, he doesn't do anything staying here also", Bela glared at Mahir

Yuvi suppressed his laugh looking at the both while the rest also seem to do the same.

"Okay, Mahir you are getting late.. have a safe journey and don't forget to call when you reach", Sumi said

"Yes maa", Mahir assured

Mahir went to his car and looked at Bela who's peeping through the door, she waved her hand softly looking at him and smiling at her one last time Mahir left to the airport.

***

Bela was sitting in the canteen area slowly digging her food and sighed in defeat.

"Why ar'nt you going away from my head Mahir?", Bela mumbled frowning

"What's up madam, you seem busy busy these days", Vish said sitting infront of her

"Hey Vish, how's life?", Bela asked

"Nothing much, it's mom's birthday next week", Vish said looking down

"And you are saying this low?", Bela asked

"It's mom's birthday Bela, and dad wouldn't be with us.. he will be with his wife and you know it hurts.. they have moved on over the years Bela, but seeing both my parents with there new partners is hurting", Vish said slowly

Bela looked at her, she knows how much this fact hurts Vish.. she stood sitting next to Vish and held her hand.

"Vish, divorce isn't easy for them as well.. you think after spending years together sharing there happiness and sorrows together it will be easy for them to move on forgetting the other.. they have moved on in life Vish, and it's high time even you move on..

And one more thing, don't have second thoughts on Yuvi.. I can see what you are feeling for him babe, don't let your parents divorce affect your love life.. hmm?", Bela said softly

"I know, I.. I really love him Bela, but..", Vish teared up

"That's exactly what I'm saying Vish, it's clear you love him.. and I suggest you should tell him that, I'm sure he doesn't know about your parents and your fears.. you should tell him Vish, share it with him and let your love blossom", Bela said

"Hm.. I'll, hopefully soon", Vish smiled slightly

"And may this smile widen and give me my teasing and ever cool Vish back", Bela smiled tickling her

"I love you Bela", Vish said hugging her

"Ahem, sorry to disappoint.. I already gave my heart to someone", Bela said dramatically

"Yes yes, I know who it is", Vish smirked at her

"Bela, it will be too good na if we besties go to the same house as daughter-in-laws", Vish said dreamily

"Hmm good idea.. but doesn't seem easy", Bela said thinking about Mahir

"Okay I have decided, I'm soon gonna confess all my feelings to Yuvi once I get the right time.. and you are also setting your love story, although I don't know how far it has come.. but I can see a lot of change", Vish winked

"That's good.. and yeah, let's see how far it can go further", Bela shrugged

"Now come, lunch time is over", Vish yawned

"Yeah", Bela replied lazily going towards her cabin

***

It was night when Bela is back home tossing in her room looking at her phone.

"Did he just forget me just a few hours after he left?", Bela frowned

She dailed his number and Mahir lifted the call in the first ring.

"Oh so you are free enough to lift my call in the first ring, but are too busy to call me yourself right?", Bela shouted on the call

"Will you stop breaking my ears?", Mahir facepalmed himself

"Then you should have cared a little about me", Bela pouted

"You where expecting a call from me?", Mahir asked

"You din't wanted to call me?", Bela asked

"And don't say you just took your phone to call me and before that I only called you", Bela continued

"I wasn't gonna say that either way", Mahir said

"Sure, why would you say? You don't care about me only.. it's not even been a day and you forgot me already", Bela frowned

"I can never forget about you Bela, I was just busy till now", Mahir said

"And now? You could have called now", Bela argued

"I'm just back to my penthouse Bela, I would atleast freshen up before making a call, right?", Mahir asked

"Okay fine", Bela shrugged

"Now what?", Mahir asked

"What do you mean? You are indirectly asking me to cut the call right?", Bela yelled

"Easy girl, why do you shout so much?", Mahir asked softly

"And why do you always get on my nerves?", Bela asked

"I do?", Mahir asked smiling

"You do.. you get on my nerves, mind, heart everywhere", Bela said in a flow

Mahir widen his eyes at her statement, he couldn't help but smile knowing he does hold a special place in her heart but his smile vanished the moment he realised he's the one to hurt her feelings at the end.

He couldn't hold back himself away from Bela, he knows he's way more attached to Bela and now there's no backing off for this emotion he's carrying within.

"Mahir, you there?", Bela asked

"Talk something Bela, I'm missing your talks already", Mahir confessed softly

"So you miss me?", Bela asked sitting on her bed

"Hm", Mahir hummed

"Okay tell me, how was your day?", Bela asked excited

Mahir smiled sensing the excitement dropping from her voice, they both spoke for a while sharing there day's activities and Mahir was enjoying just listening to her speak continuously and he felt as if his heart is breathing again.

"Mahir, where are you lost? I'm asking you something", Bela said

"Umm, sorry.. what were you saying?", Mahir asked

"I was asking when will you sleep?", Bela asked

"May be in some time, a little tired", Mahir said

"Oh sorry sorry, I was probably wasting your sleep time then.. you sleep peacefully okay? And don't forget to call me tomorrow when you are back home okay?", Bela said

"I'll", Mahir smiled

"Pakka?", Bela asked

"Yeah pakka, I'll call you tomorrow okay?", Mahir said

"Good then, good night Mahir", Bela said and hung the call

Mahir smiled thinking of her and slowly drifted to sleep calling off for the day.
