Its a compromise!!! (COMPLETED)

Love wins every war!!!

Mahir's POV:

Vish and Yuvi got married today in presence of all our relatives and friends.
It was all a happy atmosphere. Bela looked like a beautiful doll in that lehenga we bought for her and I adored that smile on her lips. But next minute I realised what she has to face tomorrow.

Yes it was the court hearing tomorrow!!!
I feared thinking how would Bela react once she recalls about the court hearing.

It's painful for a woman to recall such a horrible incident in a court room and answer questions about the worst nightmare of her life. It took really long for Bela's smile to return back and now again going back to that trauma...my heart was bleeding thinking about it. Darshan my friend who was also the witness in this case had attended the wedding who reminded me about tomorrow's hearing.

He patted my shoulder saying...
'Mahir .. Bela bhabhi looks so happy. I know it's never easy going back to something that pierced your soul but Bela bhabhi must do this...Not for her alone but also for that every single Bela who is a victim of domestic violence. I can't even imagine if she had married that animal Rehaan what would be her condition yaar... You know what Mahir... she's a brave girl and you are a lucky man.'

I smiled looking at Darshan and said..
'That I am...'

Post wedding I wanted to talk to Bela. We still had a lot of relatives at home mostly who would leave tomorrow post wedding reception.

I saw Bela was sitting with Maa and other relatives... while I went there to call her as I wanted to talk to her. All the aunties teased us and Bela blushed however today Maa was silent. She remembers!!!

She said to Bela softly... 'Go Beta....'

Maa looked at me and blinked assurance and I understood I had to handle this carefully....

I took Bela to the duct and pulled her closer by her shoulders...

'Bela...I just wanted to ask you if you remember that we have to go to'

'Court tomorrow? I know Mahir...I remember'

I looked at her as she had a light smile on her face.

'Its going to be tough...I know Mahir...but I want to do this ... I can't let those bastards go!!!' she said eying the sky while I saw a hint of tear lingering at the corner of her eyes and I pulled her into my chest.

'Im proud of you Bela...'

While I heard Maa say...

'We are proud of you Beta ..'

And next minute Bela hugged my mom.

On the breakfast table there was hush hush gossips. Our relatives had 'Bela's case!!!' as the hot topic.

'You are married now na Beta...why are you running behind this matter now'

'Yeah Raksha bua is right Bela beta...I mean nothing happened na...see Mahir saved you...'

'Exactly my point...I mean who will run behind this court case and things ..they are boys and that's their nature'

'Yaaa...I mean Bela beta see you are a girl and beautiful also...it happens na'

'Exactly and come on nowadays girls and their backless blouse, skirt, thin sarees.. they might have got excited'

I was hearing one by one regressive talks from a bunch of aunties on the breakfast table who were trying to convince Bela that

'SHE MUST NOT GO TO COURT!!!'

And

'IT WAS JUST AN ATTEMPT'
