"Are you fine sir? " I asked again in the softest voice I could have.
"Please call me Mahir Ji" He whispered lifting his head off my shoulder. His face was still close to mine, and the hot breath was fanning on my face. The proximity was doing wonders in the pit of my stomach. I had never felt something like that before. It was almost evening and the sun was drowning in sleep while scattering all its luminous everywhere, his already dashing face glowed even more in the setting sun making my heart rush faster. I couldn't read his eyes much but all I saw was pain and longing maybe for someone very close.
"Mahir Ji" I whispered obliging his request.
He closed his eyes as if trying to feel each moment. His face looked peaceful and I could not be happier.
"Thank you" He whispered again, getting up and helping me to get up too.
I nodded at him, asking nothing as he didn't look in a condition to explain himself.
As we entered inside, we see the whole family sitting tensely. Examining carefully I saw the girl, I assumed to be his girlfriend, was sitting on the sofa crying hysterically.
What happened to her? And when did she come?
I looked at Mahir Ji, even he shrugged cluelessly.
We went nearer, Andy sir looked at us, particularly Mahir Ji. "What am I listening to, Mahir? " He asked in a heavy voice. It's been only a few days since I know them but all this while I never saw him this serious.
In fact, ever so happy mood of the family was tense.
"What Dad?" Mahir Ji asked confused.
"That you cheated Vidhi? " As soon as Andy sir said those words, both of us gasped loudly.
"Dad? " He looked at him confused.
"Mahir, Vidhi is saying you dated her for three months and then you dumped her without telling or asking her anything. Is it true? I trust you Mahir but still, I want to listen to it from you" Vish asked him.
"No Vishi. Dad, Mom, Vishi, Bela... Please trust me. Date her? I haven't even looked at her properly. In fact, she was behind me for long. " He explained them.
The girl Vidhi got up "you are lying. Vish trust me. "
"Why are you lying Mahir " She strode towards us. Glaring at me, she moved to grab Mahir ji's collar. Pulling him through his collar, she yelled at him" Why did you cheat me? "
Now, I was very sure that she was lying. How can she?
She was faking her cry? And how can she just malign his name?
I quickly pulled her and then pushed her behind, standing before Mahir Ji, I screamed at her, " How can you blame my boyfriend just like that? "
She didn't expect it, she was shocked even I was shocked of my own doings. Andy sir, Sumi mam, and Vish were already shocked before and now their eyes popped out. They gasped looking at us.
