For the rest of the day both Bela and Mahir avoided each other. Mahir got busy in the chamber for the whole day while Bela was with Safia hatun. She was feeling so sad because of Mahir's harsh gesture. She couldn't even eat anything for the rest of the day. It was same with Mahir also. Its past evening and Mahir is still working in the chamber. He's been very busy the whole day making medicines for Samira. Her condition is not good today. But despite of all, Mahir could not remove the incidence of this morning from his head. Mahir thought while smashing the herbs in the mortar
-- How could I get so carried away each time! How! I'm feeling so disgusted now
He got so angry at himself and then accidentally hurt his hand.
He ran towards the water pot and pour some on his hand. While doing so suddenly he got a look at his own reflection on the mirror.
--Who are you? Are you the same Mahir you were once? Who always thought of others before himself? Or in the process of becoming Aditya for all you have become selfish?
These thoughts stroke him so hard. Suddenly he had his moments of realization.
-- Since the day of your accident you have only blamed her, more than for your present condition than your mother's death.
You claim you love her, but doesn't love stand on trust?
Mahir forgot about his injured hand...how could he? Its his heart which is bleeding.
-- You are doing exactly the same things with her Mahir...you are letting her to be intimate with you and then pushing her away. Who else can understand the pain of this treatment better than you Mahir? At least Bela used to clarify her actions later, but you? You are hiding youself from her like this!
No, this is not right. He has to talk to her...He was about to leave the chamber when he saw hekim ji
-- Where are you going? Have you prepared the medicine for Samira?
-- Hekim ji give me five minutes, I'll be back..
-- No Aditya, you make the medicines now..and take these herbs, smash them as well along with the extracts. Her condition is not so well.
Saying this hekim ji left. Mahir had no other option. Rafi is ill also, he is shivering from fever since morning.
He started making medicine and blaming himself. Its high time he talked to Bela about everything. Its alright, he'll prepare the medicine and go and talk to her with time.
Finally he finished all the tasks and chores. Tonight he wants no interruptions. He went to his hut but was so disappointed watching Bela sleeping. How he thought he'll talk to her but she's asleep. Bela was sleeping behind the partition of the room, where Mahir sleeps. Mahir went near her, sat down beside her and put his one hand on Bela's cheek.
-- Bela!
He called her but she was fast asleep. He sighed and went near the bed and took the sheet and pillow and placed them a few inch distant from Bela's bed. He lied down and looked at Bela's face
-- How could someone with such an innocent face can murder!
He feels the need of having the answer...ASAP!
Bela woke up suddenly at the late of the night. Her sleep was so deep today. She sat down and noticed Mahir sleeping in the distance. Suddenly she felt that immense pain inside.What is in store for them? Why is everything so against them if they are meant for each other? Her eyes couldn't have enough sight of him. Then she saw his hand, there is a bruise. She went near him and saw the bruise. Did he hurt himself with something heavy? Bela took his hand in her hand, put one hand on his hand and then closed her eyes and started the healing chanting. His hand slowly began to heal. But in the process of all these, Mahir woke up. He found Bela holding his hand.
--Bela
Hearing his voice Bela opened her eyes. She left his hand immediately. Mahir looked at her at first, something seems different with her face. And then looked at his hand. His hand! Its healed! There's not even a bruise mark!
-- Bela what is this...what did you!?...my hand...how!
Mahir was so shocked by everything. His practical mind couldn't solve this tiny equation! Bela could hardly put her eyes on his...her eyes still changing colours from naagin to human. Then it got normal and just then Mahir shook her
-- I'm talking to you Bela! What is this?
-- Huh!...what Mahirji?
-- My hand, its healed so fast. How did you do this?
-- Which hand? I don't know what you're talking about.
Bela said though her eyes were saying something else.
-- Oh really! Then what were you doing holding my hand?
-- I...I...I actually came to wake you up. Why are you sleeping on the ground?Its your turn on the bed.
-- Which turn?
-- We'd decided this once Mahir...you forgot...
Mahir remembers their discussion about this long ago. Bela continued..
-- I saw you sleeping that's why I came to wake you up and...
-- Then why didn't you?
Mahir interrupted with an eager voice. Bela sighed and replied
-- Because I can't wake you up unless you want so as well...
Bela stood up saying this and went near the pitcher to have some water. Mahir looked at her...he got the meaning hidden in Bela's speech. He stood up and went near her..
-- Bela, we need to talk.
-- Plz Mahir ji, there's no point of talking now. I have realised this in the morning. You can love me but you can't trust me. And love without trust is pointless.
Mahir got close to her and turned her towards him.
-- Who told you that I don't trust you?
-- You don't have to say it...this is it..I told you several times that I didn't kill ma but you didn't believe me right?
-- Bela plz, things are not that easy..
-- Is it that hard for you to believe that I'm not the killer Mahir?
-- Then why did you elope like that? Bela why did you fear for the crime you're saying you didn't commit? Why didn't you come and talk to me?
-- You actually think you would have listened to me that day Mahir? No one was on their sane mind that day Mahir. If you were on your mind then you wouldn't have told you father to shoot you...
-- How do you know this?
Bela got puzzled in her own speech. Her speech blocked.
-- Bela answer me. How do you know this? I clearly remember that there was only me and dad present. Then how do you know this?
Mahir was holding Bela by her shoulder..Bela said to change the topic
-- Mahir leave me..
-- No, first you tell me how do you know this..
-- umm...Adi told me..
-- What? How does he know?
-- How am I supposed to tell you this Mahir ji?...now plz excuse me, its late and we should sleep.
-- Not now Bela..you have to tell me who killed my mother.
-- I don't know Mahir ji. I reached there only several minutes earier from you, I found her like that, I tried to get the knife out of her to help her but it was too late...
-- You're telling the truth?
-- Mahir ji! You're still unconvinced?
-- How did you reach haveli?
-- woh...someone called me and told me he saw Sumi ma going to haveli and so...
-- But your phone wasn't with you...it was lost on the road..
-- yes I lost it, but after having the call perhap..
-- I don't know Bela. I so want to trust you but I always feel that you do not tell me everything with your heart open... There's always a behind the scene story
Bela mumbled. She knows there's a truth in his speech. But she is helpless she can't tell him everything even if she wants to. She came out of her thinking when Mahir shook her again
-- Tell me na Bela
-- What?
-- All that you hide from me..
-- There's nothing of this sort Mahir
-- Yes there is
-- I'm not like you Mahir...I do not hide my identity from everyone.
Bela said so with her eyes down..because she knows she is hiding something really big.
Mahir pulled her face upwards and said
-- What do you want to say?
-- You hide everything from everyone Mahir...you hid in this village for months..didn't even bothered to contact me for once..you left me to die in regrets...
-- Regrets for what?
-- I knew you would blame me for everything. I thought you died thinking me as the killer...do you know the feel of this Mahir? I died everyday thinking of you...my days went on regretting why didn't I value you when you loved me and...
-- Now?
-- Huh?
-- Do you regret it now for not loving me back?
-- Mahir...ummm...I don't know ...
Mahir came closer to her and cupped her face and said
-- Do you love me now Bela?
Bela didn't have the answer now. That's strange because all these month she had longed for Mahir only...she only wants him, there's no doubt. But does she love him? Does she love him as she had loved Vikrant once? She still doesn't know. Do you really love everyone you want?
-- Bela tell me na, do you love me?
-- Mahir...I...Mahir...actually
-- Tell me Bela...today I'm not leaving you without knowing
-- Mahir...I...
She couldn't say farther . Someone was knocking on the door hard
-- Aditya, Aditya open the door..
-- Hekim ji!
Mahir went to open the door.
-- What happened hekim ji?
-- Samira's condition is deteriorating. Come and make the medicine you made that day...you still remember the process right?
-- Yes hekim ji...let's go...
Mahir said and turned to look at Bela..
-- Bela I
-- You go Mahir. I'm also going to check on Samira..
All of them left the hut and went to their respective tasks...however hekim ji did notice Bela calling Aditya as Mahir.
