"Doctor doctor, suddenly the heart beat of the patient started being faster..." , the nurse said with her eyes full of astonishment.

"Let it be... It's good for her health. This is indeed a good symbol of her recovery...", answered the doctor.

Mahir heard this conversation from a distance and took a deep breath of relief.
He's still praying to God for Bela's soon recovery.

The doctor decided to transfer the patient from ventilation back to ICU, as she's better than before.

Thus, she's transferred to ICU.

Now, Mahir is sitting outside the door of the ICU room.

Bela is within her dream, where the flashbacks are taking place.

Back to the flashback:
It's 4pm. I'm waiting at the airport for Mahir's arrival. My heartbeat is getting faster and faster. I don't know the reason behind my nervousness. I don't think that I is so nervous even in my collage interview.

I was dressed up in a reddish western gown, as per I remember.

As I thought properly, then I started remembering exactly how I is looking like, as my get up made him speechless for a while

As I thought properly, then I started remembering exactly how I is looking like, as my get up made him speechless for a while.

Finally, a flight reached the airport, and the passengers started coming out. My heart exulted.

As per my knowledge, he was supposed to be coming in this flight only. Thus, my eyes started searching him. I is unable to find. Still my eyes kept trying. But, unable to find him anywhere. Then, I became a bit dissatisfied with myself and thought, might be I mistook his message, he is kidding with me.

As I turned around in order to return back, someone suddenly came from my back and tightly held my eyes from behind.

His touches were completely unknown to me, but it caused a sudden shiver throughout my whole body. I touched those those big and husky hands, which had hidden my eyes. I'm trying to guess who was that. But, I started stuttering as I was shivering at the same time. His touches, oh my goodness!!! I never felt such touches before. This is so exception. Even, this touches caused me more shivers than those of Rahul's. Then, slowly slowly I started feeling his breath near my left ear and shoulder. He came closer to my ears and said, "Hey Bela, What's up?"

Omg!!! His voice. I'm shivering or acting like a dancing car or something which is vibrating very badly, God only knows. The only thing which I can feel is, I'm wet. That's enough to explain my pathetic condition. My condition is so poor that I'm even unable to word something. I'm trying to say, but words are not coming out of my throat. I started sweating as the result of those bad shivers and ofcourse blushing very badly. Like seriously, I knew very well that he's my best friend, not my boyfriend, but still I'm blushing for my best friend, indeed unable to control my blushes for his childish nature. He's doing this for fun, I'm sure. He's not having any bad intention. He did it casually like a normal best friend, I realised. Just that, he's childish and innocent and this particular childishness is killing me out of my blushes, and more likely to say, out of my shivers.

Finally after 15-20 mins, I managed to say, "Mahir, I know it's you, now leave me, enough hide and seek done..."

I gave my best to control my expressions and started acting casually like a best friend does, so that he doesn't understand about my poor condition which he made unintentionally.

Then he moved away, and asked, "How u got to know that it's me?"

"Lol, mereko toh ghost ne bataya tha ki vo aaj ayega and I came here to pick up that ghost🙄", I answered with rolling eyes.

"Who the hell is that ghost?? Tell me once, mera alawa kisko lene aye the tum😡, I'll kill that ghost... Apoon kisi se nhi darta, bal ki mera bestie ko chhinne ayega toh uska haddi torega 😤😤", he replied.

I started laughing heavily and said, "Oops! Mahir I can smell something is burning very badly🤣🤣😂😂"

He replied in a confused state, "What? But I can't, airport mein bhala kya burn karega, yaha cooking ya bonfire thori na ho raha hain 🤷🏻‍♂️"

After hearing his answer I banged my head on my hand😑 and thought, Oh God! He's so innocent. He didn't even understood what I meant 🤦🏻‍♀️ like seriously.

Then I explained, "Arey buddhu, u r jealous of a ghost, who don't exist like seriously 🤦🏻‍♀️"

Mahir:"Kaise nhi hota? I can't share my best friend with anyone 😤, not even with a thing which don't exist, thus I'm ready to fight with a ghost even 🤷🏻‍♂️... U r mine, that's all what I know, and I don't want anything else from this world 😤😤"

Me:"Yes yes! Ofcourse I'm yours baby, I'm only yours bestie❤️❤️ love ya!"

Then, we hugged each other.

Oh God, what about this hug?? Leave... I don't want to explain any further, because if I did so, then this time he'll understand for sure that I'm unable to be normal. Thus, I ignored my feelings for this time and acted to be normal. Soon I managed to return back to casuality.

He offered, "toh chale?"

Me:"Where?"

He:"Mera hotel par, yeh luggage rakhkar chalte hain Domino's par mera aane ki khushi k liye pizza party karne😁"

I accepted his offer. Then we went directly to his hotel, by renting a car. We gossiped non-stop throughout our way to his hotel. Yes, I was laughing like anything, he seriously made me laugh more than that of my ex. Seriously, he's not at all like Rahul. He's completely different from him.

The misconceptions of my mind regarding him erased at once after meeting him, as I believed that as he looks alike to my ex, then he might be of same nature like Rahul. He proved me wrong unknowingly, as he didn't knew that I compared them from my mind parallely each and every moments. Thus, I realised more after meeting him that he's completely opposite of my ex from his character and nature, although their looks are different.

I'm not of the intention of comparing them. But their similar looks... I unknowingly start comparing. But, it's seriously weird to feel that I'm comparing my ex with my best friend 🤦🏻‍♀️ ... Comparison with boyfriend is still granted but, he's my ex.

That doesn't means I'm in the intention of making my best friend my boyfriend. Never ever even in my dreams. I'm not going to make any boyfriend because I believe true love don't exists. Me and Rahul were best friends previously, but as we started sharing relationship, he cheated me someday and left me. Thus, if I did same with Mahir, then past might repeat itself, which sucks a lot. My past experiences are enough to clear out the fake conception of true love. Thus, I'm not willing to be heartbroken anymore.

Enough done. I fucked up my life, enough. Thus, I don't want to do so any further in my future 🙏🏻

Then, after keeping the luggage at his hotel, we left for Domino's. We continued our same discussion as we did previously while coming to the hotel in car.

God!!! He's so funny, my stomach started paining now, as I laughed so much. His childishness and immature attitudes are enough for making me laugh. Rest he's nothing lesser than a joker. What else can I say?

I'm seriously laughing so much after so long 😌... All credit of my laughter goes to him.

Finally we reached Domino's. Then...
