MAHIR

It's been a whole one week after they took Bela from me.I stopped going to my office,I stopped eating and sleeping properly.I'm a complete mess without her,sitting in front of the intercom daily,trying to talk to her,
"Bela...please..pick up your phone...Belaa...",I sobbed dialing her number again and again.

I gulped another glass of whisky and tried her number.Same response.

"Mahir...",I saw Vyom,Yuvi and Annu standing in front of me.

"Vyom...Bela...",I cried putting the intercom aside.

"Mahir sir...",they all ran towards me.

"Mahir..what have you made yourself?"Vyom sobbed looking at me.

"Vyom..they took her away from me..how can they take her from me?I want her..I need her",I cried hugging him.

"Mahir..don't cry like this..please",he said rubbing my back.

"Mahir sir..please sir..don't become like this..she will come back",Annu said helding my hand.

"No Annu..she is in a state..of..state of shock,she is not talking to anyone..I want her..I need her",I cried and she sobbed looking at me.

"But Mahir..it's not going to be like this..you will keep spoiling your health like this?Drinking this everyday?"Vyom asked looking at the whicky bottles lying on the floor.

"Yuvi..at least you tell him",Vyom said and I sobbed.

"What should I tell Vyom?Not one day but daily I and dad are coming here for him,mom is crying and not eating properly..and Mahir bhai..he is not at all in his senses..he won't be in sane until and unless babhi comes back",Yuvi said wiping his tears.

"Yuvi..they are not even lifting my calls..I want to talk to her...just once..please Yuvi",I sobbed and he hugged me.

"Mahir bhai..she will come back..you think she will leave you and go?No..she cannot live without you,she will come back to you.Just wait for some days,wait until her health gets stable..please..come to our home",Yuvi said.

"No...why can't you all understand?"I shouted breaking a whisky bottle and they were shocked.

"Mahir..what is this?Are you insane?"Vyom asked.

"Yes..I am insane..I will be insane until she comes to me..I want her..I want my Bela back...",I broke down and they all were in tears.

"Bela..please pick up..please..your baby is waiting for you here...",I sobbed dialing her number.

Annu wiped her tears and sat beside me,
"Mahir sir..come on,let's go and meet Bela mam",Annu said and we looked at her.

"Annu..what are you talking?"Yuvi asked.

"Yes sir,we will go to the cafe and try to talk..we can't see Mahir sir like this..let's go and talk it out today",Annu said.

"I..will..I'll just come back..",I said getting up and took my cigarette box.

I hurriedly walked to my room and got freshed,trimmed my beard as Bela likes.I got dressed and walked down hurriedly,
"I'm..I'm..ready..let's go..let's go",I said setting my hair properly.

"Mahir sir..we will go there..but first you have to eat something",Annu said.

"No..I will eat along with her..even she must be waiting for me..I will make her eat..she will make me eat",I said walking towards our door.

"Mahir..wait..Mahir..first come here",Vyom and Yuvi said helding me.

"What happened Vyom?You guys said we will go and meet her na..come..let's go",I said and they took me towards our dining table.
