"A Step Ahead?"

"Just tell me who's your crush.. do you lo.. love him?", Mahir asked hesitating

"That I don't know yet, may be I do or may be I don't.. I'm actually trying to figure it out", Bela said dramatically

"Bela what the hell? Did you forget you are married and your husband is still alive?", Mahir asked shouting

"Why are you shouting now, Can't you talk softly? Like seriously mahir ji I was joking.. and you don't even know how to receive a joke. All you know is shout at me all the while", Bela shouted back

It's not even ten minutes that she decided not to shout or argue with him anymore and again she ended up with the same as usual.

"Um.. Bela I din't mean such, I don't know I just..", Mahir tried to speak

"It's ok mahir ji, I don't need your explanations", Bela answered back

She turned to leave but mahir caught her hand and pulled towards him. She hit his hard well built body holding him by his shoulders. She looked into his angelic eyes and for a moment she felt herself getting lost in it.

"I'm sorry Bela, I really am", Mahir said holding her tight

"You know my temper issues right, I'm trying to work on it.. genuinely I don't enjoy shouting at you Bela, it's.. it's just my nature that I'm a little short-tempered", Mahir continued

"Little? A lot Mr. Sehgal'", Bela taunted

"Ok too much short - tempered.. but you see it's isn't like before.. din't you observe I'm trying to be patience these days?", Mahir asked

Indeed he's being a little patience than before.. and Bela too observed it, she just rewinded all the incidence with him since they got married and she did realised that he's changing.

"Yes but why?", Bela asked

"Though I like our fights, I don't like to see you frowning or being angry at me.. I know I still have to change, I still get angry for no reason, still I don't talk in a sweet way like you want.. but I'm honestly trying Bela.. for you.. for us", Mahir said looking deep into her eyes

"You believe is 'us'?", Bela asked in a hope

"Of course I do Bela, I really wanna give this marriage a chance and I'm trying for it too.. but you see it takes time", Mahir said

"Ok I understand, but you are not gonna shout at me again ok? Even if I do a mistake I expect you to tell me the same in a soft way", Bela asked

"Ok madam, I'll try my best", Mahir chuckled

"Better", Bela said smiling

That's when she realised that she was too close to him, she was never been this close to him before.. suddenly she felt goosebumps all over and her nervousness took over.

"Um.. mahi.. mahir ji, leave me", Bela managed to speak

"You were fine till now, then what happened all of a sudden?", Mahir asked smirked seeing his effect on her

He was happy seeing her stammering knowing that it's coz of there closeness.. he understood she was nervous but he wanted to know if it was making her uncomfortable or no.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable Bela?", Mahir asked

"Uhh, no not like that.. I don't feel uncomfortable but..", Bela said but mahir cut her in between
