F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

😔

After few minutes, Mahir came out by wearing a towel. He was shirtless.

Bela was astonished to see him like that and exclaimed, "What the fuck is this!!!"

Mahir once turned away his head behind and saw, then replied, "What happened?"

Bela replied,"Ye-ye-yeh kya hain??"

Mahir asked, "Kaha?kaun?"

"Apne aap ko dekho mirror par... Yeh konsa tarika hain bahar aane ka...", replied Bela.

Mahir answered, "Oh I see, it's ok... Calm down, main apna dress lekar jana bhul gaya tha, so I came... Wase, tumbhi toh mereko ghur rhi ho😒, vo kya hain?"

Then, immediately Bela hidden her eyes with the help of both her hands and said, "Less interested Sir ji, aap jaldi se aab dress lekar jayiye washroom pe..."

"Haan haan, jaa raha... Itna jaldi kya hain?", he asked.

Bela replied, "Yeh bhi koi tarika hain ek ladki k samne akar khare hone ka?? Huhh!!! Get lost immediately..."

Mahir then took his dress and replied, "Babare... Ja raha hu... Oh lord Shiva, mereko abhi bhi samaj nhi aa raha ki mera yaha galati kya hain? I'm not naked😑"

Bela replied, "My goodness, don't tell also... If u come infront of me nakedly then my eyes will get a heart attack 😵"

Mahir then replied slowly, "Really?! I didn't noticed that day 🌚"

Bela asked, "Kuch kaha tumne..."

Mahir said, "Nhi nhi, bermuda, yeahh got it!!! Going..."

Then Bela closed her eyes and told by joining her hands, "Yes... Aab kripya karke jaiye 🙏🏻🙏🏻"

Then, Mahir looked at Bela expressionlessly and went to the washroom.

After 10 mins, he came out.

Bela replied by nodding her head by looking at him, "Better than before 😒"

"Thank You 😑", he answered expressionlessly.

Then, Bela said, "Finally, I think it's time to tell u some bitter truth Mahir..."

Mahir now looked with an interest towards Bela, and said, "Yes... What?"

Bela said, "Come and sit here at first... Telling you..."

He went and sat on the bed, right at the opposite side of Bela.

Then Bela started,"That night 😔..." she took a deep breath and continued," I was drunken and..."

Before she continuing her sentence, Mahir interrupted and said, "Areeee...Leave na... I forgot everything...🤦🏻‍♂️"

Bela replied, "No u need to know... U should..."

Mahir answered, "I know that you don't love me in that way... That doesn't means that u don't love me at all, u love me as your best friend, but not like that, bcoz of your past bitter experience, u don't trust in true love or love affairs anymore. I know everything... Whatever happened by mistake and by chance bcoz u were not within yourself Bela... I know everything, which u r trying to tell me... Never mind, just think that nothing happened between us. "

Bela was shocked at his answer, then she said, "But I wanted to tell u something even worse than this. That is, ..."

Mahir replied, "U did everything bcoz u were drunken, so u imagined me as your ex or the only love of your life, that is, Rahul, bcoz we look alike and intimated... "

Bela was shocked once again. Then, she said, "But how u understood?"

Mahir answered, "Bcoz I'm not a fool... I know I act immaturely at times, but that doesn't means that I'm a clown 🌚 I know everything whatever u r willing to tell me."

Bela slowly moved her head downward with eyes filled with grief .

Mahir replied,"It's okay... See... Actually Bela, nothing hurts me, not even your misbehaviours does, except this particular expression of yours. I can't tolerate sadness, pains, griefs and tears in your eyes. Listen to one thing Bela, that is, whatever happens between us, I'll still keep on loving u, and that's final."

Bela looked at him with her eyes filled with astonishment and said, "I'm really sorry for that... Sorry for that night and also sorry if u love me more than as a best friend... Bcoz if u love me as a best friend, I swear I'll love u equally and return ur love back to u with care and my best efforts, and will give u the best treatment, which no one else can provide u in this whole world, but if u loved me more than as a best friend, then I'm sorry once again, bcoz I can't return that back to you..."

"I love you... Bass, full stop... Now u edit it as per your own will, I won't say anything, bcoz your happiness is my happiness...for that if u edit and enlarge it by adding the term 'As a best friend' then mereko vo bhi qubool hai",he answered with a fake smile.

The sentence caused a severe goosebumps in her skin. A goosebump, caused only by sentence, not by a touch. She didn't understood the reason, and tried to ignore the sentence.

Then, he went and served her the lunch.

In this way the first day of their living together passed.

At night, without increasing any more confusion, or any more conversations, Mahir directly took a pillow from the bed and went to sleep in the couch.

Bela didn't stopped him.

Then she slowly she lied down.

Bela's pov:
Mind said with happiness, "Toh, kya bola tha maine?? He'll surely accept u inspite of knowing everything... And see... So, finally time had shown u the reality, and I won the bet."

The heart replied, "Like seriously, I can't believe even now also... Frankly speaking, if I would have experienced anything like this ever, might be I won't be able to forgive that person. Thus, here also although he forgave me, I can't forgive myself 😔"

Mind answered,"Then u should stop misbehaving with him, bcoz your misbehaviour is a big punishment for him. So stop punishing him..."

The heart answered, "Right, instead I should die😔 I don't deserve to exist in this world. I don't deserve so much love, which Mahir is giving me, and I mean it..."

Mind replied, "U fool, if u do so then, that will become another big punishment for him. Bcoz right in the afternoon he said u that ur sadness hurts him, and nothing can hurt him as much as ur tears does. So if u hurt yourself then it'll hurt him indirectly. So stop punishing yourself, and I'm telling it bcoz it'll punish him too. So I mean stop punishing him, bcoz he's not responsible here... "

The heart answered, "But I'm..."

Mind explained, "But he don't think u to be anyone other than himself. He thinks u to be the other half of himself. So it will again punish him if u do so... Else itna jaan dekar koi nhi bachata tumko..."

The heart became speechless as it understood that mind is logical here.

Tears ran out of Bela's eyes. Then, slowly she went to a thoughtless sleep.

To be continued...
