The Chosen One's

BELA

Mahir,he is still in pain.

Because he is hiding it well,doesn't mean he is not hurting.I can feel it!

I need to pull him out from this pain.He is balling up all his emotions since that day.I need to talk,make him normal.

This house was just a house all these days,it's going to change now.We will start everything fresh,again.

Mahir was sleeping like a baby in my embrace,the longing we had for each other since all these months,it's showing.

I moved my fingers in his hair and he snuggled into my chest,I smiled and kissed his head.This was the best sleep I had in all these month's.

I smiled when Mahir kept his leg over me,I looked at him and he was still sleeping.I'm watching Mahir like this for the first time,a fully grown beard,no haircut and looking all weak.

I kissed his forehead and hugged him.I should make him back normal,I have to fill the void I created in all these months.

I have to bring my husband Mahir Sehgal back!

I saw the time and it was seven in the morning.I slowly came out of his grip and kept a pillow near him,I smiled when he snuggled into it.

I adjusted the comforter properly and walked to our room's balcony.I saw our balcony's floor filled with beer cans,cigarette butts.It was not at all clean.

This showed me how much Mahir was spoiling his health,almost slipping into a trauma.

I tied my hair in a bun and started cleaning the mess.I completed cleaning our balcony and came back to our room.I opened the closet and saw all his clothes scattered.

He won't keep them properly when I'm there,how can I expect him to keep it neat and tidy when I'm not present.

I sighed and started folding his clothes,I dumped the worn out clothes in the laundry room and kept all his belongings properly.

I took a shower and dressed in one of his white shirt.I smelled his shirt and smiled,
"This scent..Mahir..you make me a jelly",I smiled wearing his shirt.

Mahir was still sleeping,I filled a water bottle and kept it on our bedside table.I went downstairs and cleaned another balcony too.

I don't know from how many days our kitchen was not used!

I cleaned our kitchen and walked back to our room to wake him up,
"Mahir..",I patted his cheek.

"Baby..wake up",I said caressing his lower lip with my finger and he slowly opened his eye's.

"Good morning",I smiled ruffling his hair.

He smiled and opened his arms for me,I blushed and laid flat on him,hugging him,
"Good morning Bela...hmm..",he sighed hugging me.

I caressed his chest and kissed his shoulder,I looked at him and smiled,
"You slept well?"I asked moving my fingers on his beard.

"After months,yes",he said and my heart constricted.

"Every night I always imagine that you're lying here with me,one arm around me and your body pressed up against mine,it helps me to sleep",Mahir said removing my bun and ruffled my hair softly.

"And I had the best sleep yesterday,with you",he said and I hugged him.

"I've been sleeping like this all these months,thinking that I'm tightly tucked in your arms",I said and he kissed on top of my head.

We were silent,listening and feeling each others heartbeats.I blinked back my tears and got up from him.He sat straight and smiled looking at me in his shirt,
"This is more comfortable..",I said giving a sheepish smile.
