Thank you all so so much for all your lovely comments! I am glad to know people are liking this TS and telling me what they think! Thank you all loads and loads! Honestly, I didn't expect this reaction on my first story itself. I hope, if you all are liking my work, to write more on Mehbeer. Coming to the update. Enjoy! 😃
OoO
"That's is what happens. Abeer, chahe ladki ki galti ho, chahe ladke ki, ilzam hamesha ladki par hi aata hai. And it's true. I don't know.. I am not blaming you for this Abeer. Ye divorce.. Ye sirf tumhara faisla nahi tha. I was also a part of it and I take it anyway I can have it. I am sorry.. I should have told you earlier. But if I did, you'd have overreacted," I think for a moment, "Which you probably did."
"Hey, you don't be defensive for him! He deserved that! Jerk!"
"He's an employee. Rajesh Shekhar. He'll be working for you. And please, don't let what happened destroy that. You have a professional life and a personal life, don't mingle them up!" For all I knew, Abeer won't be easy on him. And well, me talking .. trying to talk some sense into him won't work the least bit.
"I don't promise that." He says. Of course!
"For me?" I plead. That's my weapon. Married or not, it always works.
"You always do that! Humesha ye glittery eyes and sweet si smile dikha ke phasa leti ho mujhe! But not this time! Usko toh mei kabhi maaf nahi karunga! And moreover, mei usse fire karwa dunga!"
"Boss kon hai?" I ask him.
"Tum," He replied, "But ye toh mei karke hi rahunga."
"Abeer!" I sigh. Helpless. Hopeless. One of the two he is. I can't think of one thing he has ever listened to me about. Humesha uski manmarziyan, humesha! I am sick and totally tired! He always gets into trouble for all this!
"You know, Meher, I was wondering.."
"Hmm?" Abeer? Thinking? That's news. ;)
"Shayad." He thinks for a moment or two, "Shayad humara alag ho jaana hi galat tha. Shayad ye sab jo hua.. Shayad ye sab galat hua. Shayad.. Shayad humne thodi jaldi kr di. Iss wajah se.. I don't know. Bas ye pta hai ki jo hua.. sahi nahi hua."
"You're not the only one, Abeer." I admit what I have been feeling for a long while, "I feel like that, too. Every moment. Par shayad ye hi sahi tha. I know, humne bahaut jaldi kr di. Humne immature the. Aur uss waqt pyaar.. It was something new. I loved you but.."
"That's in past tense?" He sounds broken. Like I said something that really broke his heart.
"I don't know." Honestly, I seriously do not know. "For all that has happened, thoda difficult hai. You know, decide krna. We care for each one moment, the other we're enemies. One moment we keep looking for each other, the other we can stand each other. It's complicated, we can say."
"Complicated." He repeated the word, as though testing it. "So what do we do know? Iss suffocating feeling ko aise hi rehne de?"
"Mujhe nahi pta." And we think. Honestly, what are we talking about? We just let out our feelings without feeling akward of it. Is it really that simple? Is it not as complicated as I believe it is? Do I tell him? What I feel? What, in 8 years, I really do feel?
"I love you." We almost said at the same time.
No words were left to be spoken. All left was hope. Hope that everything will be fine. Hope that someday, this mess will be sorted. Hope that now, everything will start getting better. The suffocating feeling, which killed me day-by-day, will stop. Hopefully.

"Kaha reh gya ye!" Seriously! Apni shaadi ke din koi late hota hai! Ek toh waise hi mujhe itni bechaini ho rhi hai! Yes, we're getting married! Eee! And this time, we took almost 8 years to know each other. So I guess, we know each other pretty well now. And if we don't, divorce is always an option. :P
"Baaraat aagyi!" Somebody shouted from downstairs. Meherrr! Get ready, baby! Abeer's here! Yayy me! You're getting married! AGAIN! And that to to whom? The same person! The person you honestly love! The person who, till now, was your ex! Abeeerrr!
"Muhrat ka time nikle jaa rha hai, dulhan ko bulaiye." I heard Pandit ji say as soon as I reached the stairs. There sat Abeer. Aah, that sherwani of his. We decided we would wear the exact same clothes we wore at our wedding. FIRST wedding.
"Dulhan aa chuki hai." I sat beside him on the mandap and he held my held. I gave it a little squeeze.
"Are you sure about this? Kyunki teesri baar shaadi karne ki himmat nahi hai mujhme! Iss baar divorce kia toh puri zindagi akele kaatni padegi mujhe." I laughed at his words, "Toh abhi bata do. Yaha bahaut si ladkiyan hai. Kisi ko abhi bhi shaadi krne ke liye bula lu na, bhaag ke aayengi mere paas. After all, Abeer Malhotra se toh iss duniya ki saari maayein apni betiyo ki shaadi krana chahti hai."
"Shut up! Badtameez!"
"Dil hai. Tumhe lekar thoda badtameez ho hi jaata hai." Blush.
Tere Chehre Mei Mera Noor Hoga,
Fir Tu Na Kabhi Mujse Dur Hoga.
Soch Kya Khushi Milegi Jaan Us Pal,
Jis Pal Teri Maang Me..
Mere naam ka Sindoor Hoga
OoO
