BeHir Fs: Inner Turmoils. Last part Updated on pg 5 - Page 3

Tray in hand, she went up their room and halted at the door. She saw Mahirji struggling to put on his shirt and concluded he was hurt somewhere else but he hadn't mention it.

"Mahirji! What are you doing? You should have call me if you needed help. she said rushing to him, after putting the tray on the table.

She helped with his shirt and pushed him towards the bed for him to rest.

Bela, I'm fine. I can walk and put my shirt my myself.''

"Yes. I can see how well you can. You're hurt somewhere else right? It's not only the little cuts like you said. Let me see.

Mahir was astonished. He could see the tears in her eyes and genuine worry foe him on her face. This melted his heart. He was sure he would have some real reasons for her action last week. He was about to ask her about it, when his parents and brother rushed into the room.

"Oh god. Aren't they going to leave us alone or what? he thought to himself.

Mahir beta! Is that true? Are you hurt somewhere else? Let me see. Bela can please move away? ''

Mahir was appalled by the way his mother talked to Bela. He looked up to Bela and saw her retreating next to the couch. He caught her eyes and could clearly see she didn't want him to say anything. He sighed.

"Ma. I'm fine. Yes I've been hurt on my left right, but just a minor cut. I've put some antiseptic on it. It will be gone in a few days. I just want to take a rest now.

Mahir just wanted them to go away so he could talk to his wife but everyone was hell bent on making it difficult for him and it was getting on his nerves.

"Ok, beta. You lie down and sleep a little. Bela you sleep in the guestroom today. I'll look after him tonight.

Both Bela and Mahir were shocked by her statement but before they could react, Yuvi cut in.

"Yes mom. Bro definitely needs rest and Bela too. Come bela Bela baby, let me drop you to your room.

Bela boiled hearing and she would see Mahirji clench his fists. She decided it was time for her to react.

Yuvi, I am not your baby and this is my room. Ma, I'm staying right here and I can take care of him. ''

Yuvi was infuriated and Sumitra was shocked to see Bela defying her, so she insisted for her to be away from her son.

Fine. If needed to, I'll go away. But I'll do so only if Mahirji asks me to.'

Bela..'' Yuvi started, but Bela interrupted as she didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

Yuvi, I'm talking to my husband so you better stay out of it, '' she snapped.

Mahir was pleasantly shocked! So she did want to stay with him then?

"Ma. Bela is right. This is her room as much as it is mine. It's her right to be here.'

"Bela. It's all over now. I'm fine. Both ma and Yuvi have gone now. You won't have to tale out your claws anymore.

This made Bela smile. She looked at him, her eyes full of tears.

I'm sorry.''

What for?''Mahir asked while wiping her tears.

For everything. For today and for what happened last week. You've been avoiding your own house because of me for days.''

"Our house, Bela. It's yours as much as it is mine. Whatever happened today wasn't your fault. I was distracted and I didn't see the warning sign. Well yes you would say, I was distracted because of you, which is a fact but that's for me to see by what I want to be distracted or not. And why would you be sorry for loving someone? I had told you right, I'd go away when Yuvi is back if you want to and now I know what you want. Dont worry, I'll take care of everything.

What do you mean by you'll take care of it? Do you mean divorce?'' Bela asked getting up and striding towards the door, her back facing him. So you want to get divorce and you won't even hear what I have to say? Will you let this, ruin our relationship? How can you believe I'll go back to this jerk you have as a brother?''

Bela turned to give him another piece of her mind and crashed into him. She hadn't heard him approach her. He pinned her, between in his arms, to the door. Bela was startled by his actions.

I'm believing what I heard Bela. I didn't want to hear you at that time because I was angry, which is totally fair from me but not from you. This, like you are referring it, was and is still very painful to me. So you want to give an explanations? Go on. I'm all ears.''

He could feel her shaking and he didn't know either it was from his words or his closeness.

I don't ... I know ... I ''

He could see she didn'tknow how to start but he needed her to tell him today.

Take all the time you need. We're definitely having this discussion today. '' Mahir told her, not moving an inch. Bela took a deep breath and got started.

I don't love Yuvi. I know how it sounded like last week, but I can assure you I don't love him. You don't what I want, because I myself didn't know until recently. And I think that's why I am angry. That day last week, I've been wanting to talk to you all day, but all you did, was avoid me or we would get interrupted. So when I saw someone in the living room, I assume it was you because he was wearing a black suit like you did.'' Bela explained in a go. All what I said that day, was meant for you,''she said in almost a whisper. You wanted me to take the lead and all I was trying, were being lost in vain. I decided it was time to tell you my feelings directly. '' She leant her head against the door, closing her eyes, almost afraid to hear his answer.

So you don't love Yuvi? You don't want to be with him?''

Bela's eyes snapped open and looked at him. She shook her head, not trusting her voice anymore.

Mahir got even closer to her and was guaranteed by now, it was his closeness that made her quiver.

Tell me now, then.''

I love you Mahirji.''

The wide smile on his face made her dauntless to pursue.

It's been you since the start Mahirji and no one else. I lo..''

She never got to finish sentence, for Mahir pressed her against the door, grabbed her head with both hands and planted his lips on hers, kissing her with all his might, as if his life depended on it.
