12~Part

Continue from last chapter....

First Scene:- At BeHir's room...

Mahir caressed Bela's forehead softly. She moved her face a little feeling his touch and slowly opened her eyes finding him only. Bela sat up quickly looking at Mahir shockingly.

Mahir too looked at her as if he was begging forgiveness to her through his eyes. Bela continuously stared him and her eyes started brimming in next moment.

"Bela!", Mahir took her name once and that moment Bela clung to him so tightly locking her arms around his neck strongly. Now she passed permission to her tears to flow like anything. She cried badly in his arms.

Mahir was just in shock seeing her like this. He felt so hurt and guilty for her tears. He held her back with his one hand caressing her hairs slowly with another one.

She sobbed loudly, "Mahiiir j_jii!!", She managed to mouth between her sobs. "I_I..I'm sor_sorry Mahii_r, please_please aap mujhe chhodkar mat jayie please!",

Mahir's eyes also got pooled with tears. "Shhh...Main kahin nahi jaa raha Bela, please shant ho jao!", He said trying to comfort her.

But she still sobbed, "Nahii, Aap chale jayenge. Mai_mai janti hun, aap phir mujhse dur chale jayenge!", She said pressing his nape tightly.

"Bela, mai nahi jaa raha kahin bhi, please tum ro mat!", Mahir said comforting her.

At next moment, Bela realised her position and backed off by wiping her tears . She sat back on her place silently leaving Mahir in confusion.

"Bela!", He put his hand on her shoulder but she looked another side still crying. She was ready to get up but he grabs her burnt hand mistakenly.

"Ahhh..!", She groaned with teary eyes and Mahir looked at her hand, "Oh my God, itna jyada jal gaya hai tumhara haath Bela, how can you....",

Bela snatched her hand back making him stop. Mahir too got up from bed and went a side while she again sat on bed holding her hand still crying. He came back with first aid box and settled beside her.

Bela immediately wiped her tears feeling his presence. "Bela!", Mahir called her softly but she ignored him looking other side.

Mahir held her burnt hand slowly for applying ointment on it. "I know naraj ho mujhse..!", He mouthed opening first aid box.

He continued, "Maine tumhari poori baat nahi suni, tum par gussa kiya, tumhe beena bataye chala gaya..Itni saari galtiyon ke liye maafi toh mil nahi sakti par at least baat toh kar sakti ho naa!", He asked guilty tone applying ointment slowly on her hand.

"Mujhe sona hai!", She mouthed slowly still looking at other side.

He tried to persuading her, "Belaa, mai mann raha hun meri galti hai toh gussa karo mujh par lekin....",

She got up from bed not letting him complete. Mahir bends his eyes down understanding her anger while she went another side of bed and lied down silently after switching off the lights.

Mahir looked at her helplessly and then left the room. He went to terrace and sat on swing restlessly. He held his head with both hands and remembered those moments when he scold Bela and leave her crying.

He got up feeling restlessness, "Kya kiya hai maine???...Itna rudely behave kaise kar sakta hun mai uske saath, She is crying just because of me...I'm sorry Bela!!", He cursed himself.

And Mahir again came to their room finding her sleeping. He slowly went to her slowly as she was sleeping on the edge of bed while half covering with duvet. He made her cover properly by staring at her and his eyes caught her injured hand.

He again went away and came back with first aid box and sat in front of her on floor. He slowly bandaged her hand carefully while his eyes got moist thinking continuously.
He kissed her hand slowly and sat properly on floor holding her same injured hand.

Second Scene:- At morning...In BeHir's room..

Bela wakes up blinking her eyes for clear vision and found Mahir was sleeping resting his head on side table still holding her hand. She stared him and remembered last night flashes when he tried to persuad her but she avoided him.

Realising all this Bela too felt guilty and removed his hand slowly. She got up and sat in front of him on floor only. She caressed his cheek slowly disturbing her sleep, "Mahir jii!", She called him once.

Mahir moved his head in sleep then got up to see Bela. "Bela..Tum yahan aise jameen par..",

"Shhh..Pahle aap yahan se uthiye!", She said grabbing his arm. They both got up and Bela made him sit on bed, "Aap aise jameen par kyon soye the Mahir ji!",

Mahir looked at her lovingly, "Ab naraj nahi ho tum...?",

"Mai kal bhi aapse naraj nahi thi..!", Bela replied in cold voice.

"I know naraj nahi thi upset thi!", Mahir said smiling and Bela looked at him. "I'm sorry Bela!", Mahir mouthed holding her ears making her chuckle.

"Hasii.."; Mahir said smiling and Bela hugged him removing his hand from her ears.

She put her head on his chest,"Promise me Mahir, aage se aap mujhe kabhi chhod kar nahi jayenge!", She said hugging him tightly.

"Kabhi nahi Bela!", Mahir replied hugging her back tightly.
He kissed her temple and pulled her back, "Accha ab tum ready ho jao ham kahin jaane waale hai..!", He told her.

"Kahan..?", She asked curiously.

Mahir answered, "Pahle toh doctor ke paas and..",

Bela cut him off, "Doc ke paas kyon..?, I mean Mahir ji it's just a small injury, isme doc ke paas jaane jaisi koi baat hi nahi hai!", She said hurriedly.

Mahir scolded her little, "Really?, yeh choti chot hai..Bela itna jyada jal gaya hai tumhara haath aur tumhe yeh kam lagg raha hai wowww, Ab chup karke chalo warna mai phir gussa karunga tum par aur phir....", he kept scolding but stopped looking at her face.

She bended her head down making a sad face. Mahir slapped himself in mind, "Bela, accha sorry, mai gussa nahi karunga tum par but please tum apna dhyan rakha karo na..!", He said calmly cupping her face.

"Ab please jaldi se ready ho jao, hmm?", He asked sweetly which on Bela nodded only.
