The Sehgal Mansion went all silent with Anu's arrival, none of them knew about it and after knowing the reason why she's here each one of them where now scared of Mahir's reaction.

"Is Mahir in his room Maa?", Anu asked Sumi

Sumi simply nodded and that's when they saw Mahir who was just coming downstairs, the moment he found Anu in the living room he felt so many memories rushing infront of his eyes and not looking at her again rushed into his room closing it with a thud.

Anu knew this would happen but she was hell bent on speaking with him today, she wanted to start it all freshly in her life and for that she first need to clear out the left over with Mahir.

Anu slowly went up to his room and went inside only to find him standing near his balcony door staring into the sky.

She knows he must be angry on her for everything she did, and more hurt for how she turned there relationship into.

"Mahir", Anu whispered

"Just go back Anu, you can speak with Mom and go back soon", Mahir said knowing how much Anu respects Sumi

"I'm not here for Sumi Maa or any other Mahir, I came only to talk to you.. please Mahir", Anu requested while her eyes turned moist

Mahir turned around looking at her and remembered there first meet when he was studying his MBA first year.

"Mahir, stop being a nerd.. come let's bunk this class", said Vikrant his bestfriend

"But this is an important class Vik, let's bunk the next one okay?", Mahir asked taking some notes

Vikrant gave him an unbelievable look to him and snatched his book.

"What are we? Primary school kids or what? Who still takes down notes Mahir? Do you even study from it?", Vikrant asked

"Just like that", Mahir shrugged smirking

"This sir is so boring Mahir, I'm already yawing too much.. let's just bunk please", Vikrant requested

"The class already started Vik, how do you think we can leave the class now?", Mahir asked

"You see we are sitting in the last bench.. to the corner right next to this wide window, isn't it easy to jump?", Vikrant asked smiling sheepishly

"No way, we ar'nt jumping and all.. isn't it enough that we ran all the while in the morning when you threw the love letter to the girl's father instead of her?", Mahir asked controlling his laugh

"It's funny isn't it? You first jump out.. sir is facing the board, quick Mahir", Vikrant said pushing Mahir

Mahir knew his bestie wouldn't listen so giving up on his word, picked his bag throwing it outside slowly and looking around for once jumping through the window and landed on the floor right infront of someone.

He was stunned looking at a pair of heels and knowing it is a girl he stumbled into, slowly looked up to meet the most beautiful pair of eyes looking at him already.

He was awestruck by her beauty infront of his eyes and as if in a daze, stood up right infront of her flashing his ever charming smile.

Vikrant who just jumped through the window, looked at his friend who seemed smitten by this girl not even averting his gaze.

Vikrant understanding the girl's discomfort, slowly nudged Mahir's elbow bring him back to reality.

"Ah umm.. sorry miss?", Mahir asked curios to know her name

"It's okay, I'm Ananya", Anu said softly

"Nice name.. I'm Mahir", Mahir said forwarding his hand

Anu smiled at him shaking her hand with his while she heard someone call her.

"Be careful from next time, the staff room is right next and professors often roam around here", Anu smirked

"It's there lunch time now, they all will be either at the canteen or in there staff room only, wouldn't come out", Mahir smirked back

Anu gave a look at his bunking knowledge and smiling at him, left the place but not before looking at him before she ran away from his sight.

"You are smitten bro", Vikrant said laughing

"I can feel that Vik", Mahir smiled thinking of her

He suddenly felt choking remembering all that and looked at Anu who's probably waiting for his answer.

"Sit", Mahir said blankly

"Mahir, I don't wanna hold anything when I'm trying to start everything fresh in my life.. please don't make me feel guilty", Anu pleaded

"Anu, I never said it was your mistake for what happened years back.. if you felt that way, then it was a right decision you took", Mahir spoke

"I know, but I can't deny that I have hurt you so much Mahir.. I'm really sorry for all that", Anu said

"Did you not find anyone so far Mahir?", Anu asked after a pause

"How does that matter Anu?", Mahir asked

"So you wanna spend the whole life this way?", Anu whisper yelled

"Anu, I don't wanna talk about this", Mahir declared

"Mahir please, you should.. move on", Anu said

Mahir stayed silent while Anu got up from her place defeated, she looked at Mahir's phone which just popped with a notification and her eyes widen seeing his wallpaper.

She quickly picked his phone while Mahir got alerted and tried to snatch his phone but Anu was quick enough to look at his wallpaper which was Bela's.

"Who.. who is she?", Anu asked smiling

"Anu, give back the phone", Mahir said

"Tell me who this is Mahir, I know all your acquaintances if any, this is someone I don't know.. which means you met her after I left?", Anu asked curiously

"Bela", Mahir whispered after a pause

"Bela? Who is she?", Anu asked

"Anu please", Mahir said taking his phone back

"Mahir, am I not your friend also now? Did I loose all the right on you Mahir?", Anu whispered

Mahir sighed sitting back on the couch, Anu sat next to him keeping her hand on his shoulder waiting for Mahir to speak up.

Mahir told her everything about how he met Bela, there little fights, there unexpected marriage, his ignorance, there argument two days back.. and everything!

"You are an asshole Mahir", Anu yelled

"What?", Mahir scrunched his nose

"You love her Mahir", Anu said

"I.. I don't", Mahir looked aside

"You do, and if you still don't realise.. then you are an idiot", Anu said

"Anu..", Mahir was saying when Anu interrupted

"Shutup Mahir.. don't you realise that girl is loving you so much and you are just being an asshole to her", Anu yelled

"She loves me?", Mahir asked

"I'm sure she does, you both got married how? I must say it was a mistake Mahir.. your mistake, and she still wants to continue to stay in this relationship with you.. she wanted to gain her own place in your heart and tried constantly to get close to you and what did you do? Push her away?", Anu shouted

"I'm not the right one for her Anu", Mahir said slowly

"How can you decide Mahir?", Anu asked

"I don't think I was ever good with these relations.. and I don't expect it in the future also Anu, what if.. what if Bela get hurt by me in the future, I.. I can't hurt her", Mahir said while a tear left his eye

"Is it because of me you are thinking this way Mahir?", Anu asked slowly

Mahir was silent not knowing what to answer..

"Mahir, do you really think you are unfit to love anyone?", Anu asked knowing his mind

"Isn't it true Anu?", Mahir chuckled sadly

"It's not Mahir", Anu whispered yelled

"Your yells doesn't change the fact Anu", Mahir stated looking aside

"Mahir, listen.. what happened between us was not solely because of you, you should first get that.. I know how much you always loved me Mahir, I never doubted your love for me", Anu said

"Then what is it Anu that I lost you in my life?", Mahir asked blankly

"Mahir, we have already discussed about this so many times", Anu said looking aside

Mahir looked at the sky remembering how he proposed Anu during his start of second year.

"Vik, where do you think Anu is now?", Mahir asked looking around

"Why are you even asking me Mahir? Now that you both have become best of friends ditching your bestie here.. you should be knowing where she is right?", Vikrant rolled his eyes

"Shutup idiot, I was just trying to get close to her.. you stop being jealous", Mahir laughed circling his arm around his neck

"It's choking idiot, planning to kill me or what?", Vikrant asked

"There she is", Mahir said leaving Vikrant

"I'll just come okay?", Mahir said and left the place without waiting for a response

"Hey Anu", Mahir smiled standing infront of her

"Oh hi Mahir", Anu also smiled back

"Wanna hangout today? A coffee or may be a dinner?", Mahir asked excited

"Sure, coffee?", Anu asked

"Yeah, shall we leave now?", Mahir asked

"Seems so desperate?", Anu's friend laughed

Mahir rubbed his nape smiling sheepishly while Anu blushed looking aside.

"Come", Anu said walking along with Mahir

Mahir drove them to a nearby coffee shop on his bike and they went inside hand in hand while Anu was already a blushing mess.

They placed the order meanwhile Mahir looked at Anu all set to speak his heart out.

"I wanna tell you something", Mahir said

Anu nodded asking him to continue while Mahir sighed taking her hand in his.

"I don't know any cheesy words and coming straight to the point.. I Love You Anu!

I really love you and I want you to be my girlfriend.. I wanna marry you in future making my wife and probably a mother to my kids.. will you accept my love?", Mahir asked sincerely

Anu was surprised as his confession, she always liked him just like he did and knew this would come now or later but wasn't expecting this moment.

"Anu?", Mahir called seeing her staring his face

"I love you too Mahir", Anu said blushing

"Oh my god.. so you are my girlfriend now?", Mahir asked excited

Anu slowly nodded while Mahir reached her side pulling her in a tight hug.

"Gosh I just love you so much and waited for this since long", Mahir said being super happy

"It was love at first sight for me", Mahir grinned wide

"It is?", Anu asked surprisingly

Mahir nodded cutely while Anu once again made her way in between his arms hugging him tightly.

"Mahir?", Anu called seeing him thinking something

"You should probably leave Anu", Mahir said not looking at her

"Mahir I..", Anu was saying when Mahir interrupted

"Go back Anu, it's good for both of us", Mahir said calmly

"No Mahir, I'm ain't going before I clear things with you.. I can't stay in this guilt that I spoiled your life, and after I got to know you love Bela.. I'll make sure you confess the same to her", Anu said determined

"I don't love her Anu", Mahir shouted turning around

"You can lie to me Mahir.. but atleast not to yourself, ask your heart Mahir.. does it not want Bela always by your side?", Anu asked keeping his hand on his heart

Mahir closed his eyes and all he could see is Bela's smiling face, her cute childish antics, her stubbornness.. just her!

"I love her.. I Love Bela", Mahir whispered falling on his knees

He held his hair in his fist crying his heart out for the moment how much his heart yearns for Bela in his life, how much he already fell for her, how much he crave for her presence around.

"I love her Anu, I fucking love my Bela", Mahir yelled still crying over his love life

"Shh Mahir, cry it out", Anu said taking him in her arms

She side hugged him rubbing his hand to let him free and share his burden out.

Mahir kept sobbing thinking of Bela, he knew it was her who probably bought his life back.. he learnt to smile again, to speak his heart out again, to enjoy his life again.

But above all this he believed he can never be a good husbend to her everytime he think of Anu.

"Mahir, you are a great husband", Anu said

Mahir backed off and chucked humorously.

"Look who's saying that?", Mahir rolled his eyes

Anu looked down controlling her sobs and took his hand in hers.

"Mahir, can't you just forget your married life with me and think about Bela.. your love?", Anu asked

"It isn't easy to forget like you say Anu, more than how much I missed you by my side.. it scared me to even think of marriage again", Mahir confessed

"Does Bela know about me?", Anu asked

Mahir nodded his head in no and Anu scrunched her nose.

"You din't tell her anything about your past even when you got married to her?", Anu looked at him in disbelief

"Mahir listen, you need her in your life.. I don't know about her, but I can clearly say you can't live without her now.. be selfish for your love Mahir, you shouldn't loose her if she's also in love with you which I assume she is", Anu said

"But..", Mahir was saying when Anu spoke

"Mahir please, trust me.. you both will make a good pair, you should tell her", Anu said

Mahir din't know if he should actually confess his feelings to Bela or let her be.. he is just scared of the concept of marriage and thinking of his own marriage with Bela is something which always makes him scared.

"I.. I can't do this Anu, you leave", Mahir said

"Mahir but..", Anu was saying but Mahir interrupted

"Anu just fucking leave from here.. I don't wanna shout at you or do anything for which I'll regret later, so please leave for now Anu", Mahir begged

"Okay, I'm going now Mahir.. but I'll come tomorrow again, and this needs a closure remember", Anu said and left his room

Mahir fell back on his bed looking at the ceiling thinking of his life with Anu.. with Bela and slowly dozed off thinking of them.

Anu went downstairs where Yuvi and Kuhu where practically waiting for her.

"Yuvi", Anu called

"Bhabhi, how is Bhai?", Yuvi asked worried about Mahir

"He's fine Yuvi, but I don't know.. he's not even understanding what I'm trying to say", Anu said defeated

"Where is Bela?", Anu asked after a pause shocking the two

"You know Bela?", Kuhu asked surprised

"Mahir told me about her Kuhu, he loves that girl but our married life incidents are probably isn't letting him take a step", Anu said

"Bhabhi", Kuhu called

"What happened Kuhu?", Anu asked sensing her worried face

"Bela also likes Mahir Bhai, I'm sure she also loves him Bhabhi.. and..", Kuhu was saying

"And what Kuhu?", Anu asked

"And when she came today here, we unknowingly told her that you are Bhai's wife.. and she left directly", Yuvi completed

"Are you guys sick? I'm not his wife anymore Yuvi.. I'm his ex-wife, we are divorced..

I'm not Ananya Mahir Sehgal anymore", Anu shouted thinking what Bela would have thought about Mahir after everything that happened so far
