-- So what have you decided Mahir? Will you leave this village for good?
Mukhya ji asked this to Mahir, who is standing in front of Mukhya ji, hekim ji and some other villagers or head of their houses. Hekim ji told about everything to mukhya ji taking his time. Of course he skipped the part of Mahir and Imran planning to relocate the villagers. Rather he made the mukhya understand everything calmly, so that he doesn't get Mahir wrong. After listening to everything the mukhya only had one query, what was the necessity of telling the lies. But hekim ji made him understand that perhaps he was afraid to disclose everything back then. But now he has truly accepted everything of his life and is ready to move on. The mukhya ji then called some of the villagers and told them everything and gave them time to think of what to do about him. By evening the entire village came to them united. They have no problem with anything, if Mahir wishes then he can stay in the village happily and if he wishes then he can leave anytime. Mukhya ji and hekim ji called Mahir to know his decision.
Meanwhile, Bela and Mahir had their conversation. Mahir didn't want to leave Bela with Vish. He doesn't trust Vish. But Bela was adamant that she will go and Mahir will stay in the village for now. Basically, Bela wants to sort things with Vikrant at first. She's afraid, what if Vikrant gets mad at her for everything? And tries to harm Mahir. Better she should confront him first. She's sure that she'll make Vikrant understand about the reality. Then she can refocus on her present, but at first she must fix her past. That's why she eventually made Mahir agreed to let her go with Vish.
-- So what have you decided Adit...oh Mahir?
-- Mukhya ji, I would like to stay in the village for some more time. I don't want to leave now.
The villagers felt a sense of relief by this. Mahir could see it, because they all had smiles on their faces now.
Even mukhya and hekim ji were happy, Mukhya ji said,
-- So you want to stay more. That's good Mahir, we'd like to have you among us for some time also.
-- Thanks mukhya ji...you guyz mean a lot to me now.
-- So do you Mahir.
Said hekim ji.
Mahir smiled and said,
-- Thanks hekim ji. But Bela will have to go for now.
-- What? But why?
-- As you guyz know, someone from our friends has come to this village. She has told me that Bela's father is in his death bed. And he wants to see Bela.
-- Okay Mahir, but I don't think that it is appropriate to let them go alone. Someone from the village can escort them.
The villagers agreed with hekim ji. Mahir said,
-- I was concerned for the same hekim ji. But Vish, I mean our friend, she has come here on her own. They are sure that they can manage.
-- That's ok Mahir, but yet I can not allow them to go alone Mahir. Some of us will accompany them till the town. If they agree, only then they can leave tomorrow morning.
Mukhya ji concluded with this. Mahir had no other option but to agree.
-- But what is the need of this? I've come by myself right? Then I can leave also.
-- I'm sure you can, Vish. But when Bela's there, I'm taking the best of the measures. Do you understand?
-- Do I have any choice to disagree? Bela, you tell him plz.
-- Mahir is right Vish, someone must accompany us through this dense forest.
-- Yes of course, what was I expecting!
Vish left the cottage with this. After she left, Mahir went and closed the door.
Bela was surprised but yet was smiling.
-- That looks rude Mahir ji! As if you are happy that she's left.
Mahir came and hugged Bela,
-- I am. She doesn't leave you alone. How am I supposed to get romantic with you?! (Winks)
-- Huh!
They hugged each other again. Just then Vish knocked at the door. Mahir was disturbed, yet went to open the door.
-- Why did you colse the door so early! I could not even cross half of the yard. Anyways, Bela, plz come out for a second.
Bela while leaving saw Mahir's face,
-- In a moment Mahir ji.
She said while putting one hand on his face. Mahir smiled.
Vish took Bela in a side and said,
-- Bela, what is this? Why are you agreeing with Mahir? You know na that they will slow us down?
-- I know Vish, but you have to understand. There concern is not regardless here..
-- But Bela...
-- If it gives them peace of mind, then what is the problem? They will go with us and that's final.
Vish agreed at last.
When Bela came to the room she saw Mahir waiting for her. She came near him and stood in front of him, while he's sitting in the bed. She hugged him like this. He innocently said,
-- Its our anniversary Bela, and I've fallen sick. On top of that, you are also talking about leaving. How will I live for the rest of the days?
-- I know Mahir ji. Even I don't want to leave you for a second. But you know na, I have to go.
-- Why don't you want to take me with you then?
-- Mahir, you see the villagers have done so much for us. I don't want to hurt them by any mean. What will they think if both of us leave together this suddenly? Even we hadn't planned this right? But I must see dad now. But you can stay here right?
Mahir was listening to Bela with all his heart, she feels for the villagers exactly the same way. Just after Bela finished talking Mahir took her in his arms for a tight hug.
-- Mahir Ji! I'm leaving for only a few days...one week maximum.
-- How could you be so nice to everyone Bela? How do you care for everyone?
Bela smiled and replied,
-- I've learned it from you Mahir Ji.
Mahir came out of the hug, but Bela was still in his arms.
-- But I'm not that good Bela. You have to agree with my two conditions, only then you can leave.
-- Oh really, what are they?
-- First, I'll come with you...
-- What?
-- Till the forest end..
-- Mahir ji...
-- That's final.
-- Okay, agreed. Next?
-- Next, you have to compensate for the losses.
-- What losses?
-- Areh...!! My morning kisses..
-- Oow...okay...and how do I do that?
Bela also got naughty by now. Mahir forwarded his right cheek smilingly. And Bela without any nokjhok put a kiss on his cheek. They both felt the intimacy as Bela's lips touched his skin. Bela put another kiss on his cheek.
-- And what about this cheek!
Mahir, like a child, forwarded his left cheek. Bela smilingly kissed his left cheek also, then his forehead, his nose tip, his chin. And for the last kiss Bela stopped. Mahir opened his eyes which he had closed during the first kiss. He cupped Bela's face with his hands and soon engaged in the most intimate ever kiss with her lips. Bela also reciprocated passionately. They were lost in their world of passion. Kissing and loving each other, they moved towards the bed and fell on the bed. Mahir on top of her, broke the smooch and looked at the beautiful face of Bela. Bela welcomed him as he kissed her forehead and closed her eyes to enter the world of love.
