MAHIR

Bela's face was glowing like a bulb after going to her parents house.She was so happy indeed.We were returning back to our home.

These days spent with our families were so greatful for us.And Bela connected with our family so well,which makes me the happiest man.

"Um..Bela..I need to tell you something",I said looking at her.

We already reached our home and we were sitting in the lobby,watching television.

"What is it Mahir"?she asked.

"That...actually..I need to go for a shoot tomorrow",I said.

"OK go,what's there to ask in that",she said.

"It's..it's in Goa",I said and her face fell.

"Oh..OK..",she said.

OK?Just OK?

"And it's a three days shoot..summer campaign is going to end with my shoot",I said and she shifted uncomfortably in her place.

I went close to her and palmed her face,
"Bela I'm so sorry..first I left to office on next day of our marriage and now I'm leaving you....",she cut me off in middle.

"It's OK Mahir..that's your job.You are just doing your job.I understand",she said giving a smile.

That smile was not natural!!

"I will try to complete the shoot as soon as possible,I will be back in two days",I said.

"Mahir it's OK..I understand.Complete the shoot with your whole heart.I will be fine",she said smiling.

I kissed her forehead and she hugged me,resting against my chest!!

"You can go to mom's or your parent's if you want",I said caressing her back.

She looked at me and smiled,
"I will not go anywhere,I will be in our home only",she said.

"But you will be OK? Alone..in this big house,without me"?I asked.

"I won't be alone..my babies are with me",she joked and I laughed along with her.

"I won't be alone Mahir,even if you are gone..your presence is always with me",she said.

My heart constricted at her words.How can she be so understanding??

"I love you Bela..so much,I will show you in every way how much I love you",I said bumping our noses.

And she blushed...blushed like a teenager!!

Today Bela was packing for me,for my trip.

"Bela if you need anything just call these number's,my men's will get it for you",I said.

"It's OK Mahir..I can manage",she said.

She was hurt,I could clearly see it!!

"Yuvi and Vyom are also coming with me,even they won't be hear.Call dad if you want anything",I said once again.

"OK..sure Mahir",she said defeated.

I don't know how to tell a good bye to her.

"Bela take care of yourself,I will be calling you...and I will try to come soon",I said taking her in a hug.

"You also take care and rock your shoot",she hugged me back.

I could see her eyes all misty,she is trying to hide it with a tight lipped smile.

I left with a heavy heart leaving her again.We reached Goa and were getting ready for the shoot.

"MS..first shoot with this outfit",Riley said showing a boxer.
