Bela felt that she can't share such a dream to Mahir at any cost. So, she said, "Ghost ghost... I mean they came in my dream 🙃"

"Ohh... I see, it's okay Bela, tumne toh mereko dara hi diya tha🤦🏻‍♂️... Koi baat nhi, they won't come anymore... U sleep back...",he replied.

After saying this, he was about to go back to the couch for completing his sleep. As he turned away, suddenly Bela held his fingers of his right hand tightly with her hand and said,"Mat jao..."

"U mean?? ",he asked.

"Abhi na jao chorkar ki dil abhi bhara nhi🤭", Bela said by giggling.

His cheeks started turning red. Then he answered,"Bela, yeh bhi koi time hain leg pulling karne ka?? Jao aab so jao aur mujhe bhi soone do... Tease me tomorrow, after completing nap, not now 😂 it's not the good time."

Then, she held his hand once again tightly and took it to her chest hear her heart and asked him, "Feel Mahir, can't u feel anything?? "

Mahir was more busy in blushing than feeling what she meant. So, his eyes started almost popping out of him.

She replied, "Arey buddhu, mera dil zoro se dharak raha hain 🤦🏻‍♀️... I'm asking u to feel my heartbeat, can't u feel??"

"Haan asal mein, tum itna dari hui thi ki tumhara dil zoro se dharak ne laga...", he answered.

"Haan, toh tumhari responsibility hain taki main fir se na dar jau isliye precaution lene...",she answered.

"U mean?",he asked.

"I mean that I'm under your care... So it's your responsibility, when I'm afraid to take care of me so that I don't get afraid anymore,"she answered.

"Tum toh mere ko dekhkar abhi fir bhi thik ho gayi ho... my view is enough for u to work as a medicine, see, u r laughing now, so come on, go to sleep...",she answered.

She expressionlessly answered, "U unromantic creature... Uff... Sabkuch kya mereko hi bolna parega?? I mean come and sleep with me in this bed, else firse ghost aa jayega🥺"

Then, she said to herself at the same time, "Like seriously, if my past comes to face me infront of my present, then it's nothing lesser than a ghost facing me☠️".

Mahir was shocked at her request.

He asked, "R u kidding me in this midnight?"

"No baby, I'm hella serious... Shayad main itna serious kabhi nhi hui thi aaj se pahele... I really mean it baby 🥺 I'm too afraid of ghosts,"she replied with her eyes filled with insecurity, which he was able to read.

Thus, he accepted her request and brought his pillow and kept it right beside her in the bed and lied down.

As he lied down, Bela hugged him tightly.

Mahir's heart started beating faster.

He started stuttering, "Bela, I - I..."

Bela replied,"Yes baby I know u love me😌..."

He replied,"Yes u r right, but I'm feeling so typical now ..."

She asked, "U mean uneasy?"

He replied, "No not uneasy, I'm feeling shivers throughout my body and aisa lag raha hain ki koi mere saar ki paas bansuri baja raha hain..."

She replied by giggling, "Mahir... Mujhe pata tha tum Mahir ho, lekin tum train ka engine kabse ban gaye, mereko bataya tak nhi😯🤣"

Mahir started losing himself and went to a world where he felt that nobody can hear him and said, "Your eyes are so beautiful... When I was a child, my mother used to narrate me different stories of fairies... When I started growing up, I felt that fairies doesn't exist in this real world, but after seeing u, my concept changed. I can see a living fairy infront of me😯 u r so pretty, I'm feeling like a soft teddy is holding me... Your skin is so smooth and soft... U r just amazing ❤️❤️"

"Then hold me back 😌 what r u waiting for?",she replied.

He got astonished and said, "I didn't served u wine today, then tum hosh kaise kho diye? 😶"

She replied, "U always ask me to do whatever my heart says, and this is what my heart is saying now... I'm completely within myself and main apne hosh par rhe kar hi sab bol rhi hu aur kar rhi hu..."

Then, he slowly held her with his hands, tightly right close towards his heart.

She felt, "This is the best feelings ever😌 I love to be within your arms..."

Mahir was shocked again and said, "Really? But as what?"

She said, "Can't say any further... But, we can hug our best friends also, so no comments..."

He got confused.

Then she replied, "Just that hug me as u r doing... I wanted to be within your arms like this for the rest of the night."

He felt a relief by hugging her as well, and she felt secured within his arms.

Then, she again said, "U know what, Mahir, Life is very confusing... Kabhi kabhi aisa waqt aata hain life mein, jo hum soch bhi nhi sakte, kabhi expect bhi nhi kar sakte hain... Aur humlog aisa kam karte hain, as a result, jiske baremein hum kabhi soche bhi nhi theye...😌 U know what I think sometimes?"

"Tell me, whatever u feel and think freely 😌", he replied.

"I think at times the value of words... Kabhi humlog kuch bole bina samjha nhi pate hain... Acha agar iss duniya se yeh words ya shabd gayab ho jati toh tab kya hota? Koi kuch nhi samjha pata tab kisiko... Bina bole koi kuch samajhta hi nhi... Jab hum bolte hain, fir sabko samaj aata hain...",she replied.

He said, "Lekin, kabhi kabhi ankhon k madat se samaj aata hain... Par bolne se confirmation milta hain... Aankhon ki prediction agar galat hua toh... Isliye, bolna hi shayad bahetar hain..."

"Lekin main chahti hu taki jo mujhe dil se chahe usko kabhi mujhe apne se apne feelings k baremein na bolna pare... Taki vo meri bin bole baatein bhi samaj jaye...", She said.

He was astonished at her dialogue. So, he asked, "Bela?! What does it means?? Tumhari bin bole baat... U never rejected me, but said u love me just as a best friend... Then is it something more than that, as your bin bulaye baat??? Bela, answer me..."

Then, he looked at her and noticed that she went to deep sleep with a feeling of security and relief.

Thus, his question remained unsolved, and remained confused, but got a little positive vibes by seeing Bela's level of relieved sleep within his arms.

He felt that if she wouldn't have loved him then, she was not supposed to get relieved within his arms.
