"Mahir is dead, i killed him , i killed mahir" tears were streaming down her face, she could not understand why she was upset, it was hurting, pierecing her soul
She wanted to avenge her love, her vikrant and she managed to did that
" i wanted this , yes i wanted this, i planned to kill him on first night it self than why i am feeling empty" she told her self wipping off her tears
She took hold of herself and left for finding naagmani which was her first priority
After finding naagmani she returned back to sehgal house , it was clad in white. As she went inside she found each soul weeping ,mouring over the loss of someone now her doubt was clear mahir was indeed dead, there was tiny bit of hope that he might have survived the poison, maybe doctor helped them removing poison. Another tear rolled down her cheeks " bela sambhal apne ap ko tujhe yahi chahye tha , aj nhi toh kal mahir ko tere zehar se marna hi tha"
She came and sat infront of corpse ,whislt sumitra came to talk to her " bela beta"
" maa ye ye..." " bela tu kabse kahan thi , tujhe mahir ne hospital jaate waqt kitna pukara par tu thi hi nahi , par jisey jana hota hai woh toh chala hi jaate usey koi rok nhi skta... beta tu aek kaam kr upar jakar aram krle tera yahan rehna theek nhi hai" " i am sorry maa , mahir ...mahir" " beta mahir bhi upar hi hai call pe baat kr raha hai" " mahir ji upar hain" " haan beta uspe zeher ka koi asar nhi hua tha "
She rushed upstairs without listening to what sumitra was saying . She could feel her heart racing she could not believe that he was alive, her mahir was alive.
She saw him attending a call and ran towards him and hugged him tightly as if her life depends on it.
Mahir was surprised on bela's reaction, he could not decipher her actions since morning she was behaving weirdly.
" ap theek hain mahir, mujhe laga maine apko hamesha k lye kho diya" she told him hugging once again " main bht dar gayi k ap pe zehar ka asaar hogaya hai"
" it's alright bela, zehar kaisa zehar kya bol rahi ho" " nahi woh maa ne bola k apki body main zehar phail gaya tha" she said wipping off her tears.
She turned her face on other side " naag guru ne kaha tha sirf us insaan pe zeher ka asar nhi hoga jo mera sacha jeevan saathi hoga, toh kya mahir mera soul mate hai, nahi aisa nhi hoskta woh vikrant ki jagah nhi hoskta, par agar vikrant mera sacha pyaar tha toh mahir pe zeher ka asar kyun nhi hua" she was in deeps thoughts when a touch from mahir startled her " dekho bela tumhe yeh rishta nibhane ka drama krne ki koi zarurat nhi hai, aj mujhe yuvi ki call ayi thi woh wapis aaraha hai phr tumhari sab tensions khtm hojayein gi , maine divorce paper bhi bnwa liye hain" the word Divorce echoed in her ears she could not believe it was their divorce paper in her hand. "Ab tum yuvi and baby can be together" " nahi mahir ji" " dekho bela main sabko samjha dun ga ,Maa ko bhi bs tum in papers pe sign krdena so that we can expidate the process"
He immediately left the room giving her space to think and sign the paper, he being selfish for first time hoped that she might not sign the papers. Rest of the day passed by with mahir ignoring and bela trying her best to prove she is not pregnant.
Next morning
Bela was in kitchen preparing breakfast for mahir and others when sumitra came in " bela beta can u and mahir attend kuhu's sister in law engagement party...woh kya hai na andy is not keeping well and i cant go without" " yeah sure maa i have no issues" in between mahir came in as well, sumi smiled looking at mahir " beta sham ko kuhu k in laws k yahan jana hai ab teri biwi ne toh han kehdya hai toh tu waise bhi mana nhi krskta" " theek hai maa abhi i am leaving meri back to back meetings hain main shaam ko bela ko pick krlun ga"
Mahir was about to step out of kitchen" mahir ji jaane se phle breakfast toh krlein" " no thanks bela main bohat late hochuka hun" saying so he left from there.
In evening
Mahir entered in their room , bela was clad in a beautiful white and peach saree looking mesmerizing and he couldnt look away " you are staring" " yes i am staring"
Bela gave mahir his dress for the evening and sat in front of dressing table to wear accesories and makeup.
Mahir was looking for hankerchief when bela said" bed pe hai"
Bela saw that mahir dress collar was rugged in and went to him to proper the collar " tumhe yeh sab krne ki zarurat nhi hai mujhe keh deti main khud theek krleta,mujhe apni aadat na daalo tumhare jaane k baad main kaise rahun ga".
Bela was almost ready only vermillion was left , she took a pinch of red vermillion and filled between the hair partition , mahir was staring at her " maang islye bhar rahi hun kyunke" " kyunke maa ko bura na lage" mahir completed her sentence " kyunke main apki biwi hun mahir ji" mahir was surprised on her reply.
