Pyaar ki Holi

Chapter 7(Final Part)

Pearl's POV

I got bela to my room and made her sleep on bed carefully. I settled beside her and started caressing her hair. The inner turmoil she might face after waking up is what clenching my heart. I just can't see her like that. What should I do to make her happy?

I just hope she doesn't shatter after waking up. Having all the thoughts in my mind, I slowly drifted to sleep by hugging her close to my heart.

I woke up when I felt someone shaking me. As soon as my eyes flutter open, I found a confused bela looking at me with her puppy eyes. I don't know what happened to me but I had the urge to kiss her forehead and caress her cheeks. So, without wasting a second, I did what got into my mind. I smiled on seeing my effect on her. Aww she looks like a cherry.

Suddenly, morning's happenings hit my mind and I sat up being tensed of bela's reaction. Bela too got up but what surprised me is, she hugged me tightly by keeping her head on my chest.

"I can understand what's going on in your mind,pearl. Now let me tell you the truth you don't know." She said making me confused.

She continued,"2 years back, after mahir left me like that in the mall, I didn't believe his words. I understood that there might be a strong reason behind his harsh words towards me. So, I followed him the next day and got to know about his tumor from the doctor. I was so shattered at that time. I didn't know what to do. But then, I confronted mahir and asked him why did he leave me like that without telling the truth to me. We both cried a lot in each other's arms and that's when he said me these words 'I Love You,bela. I can't see you in pain. I know the way you would react if I had told you truth. You know right I can't see tears in your eyes,baby. I don't want you to waste your entire life for me. That's why I spoke with you like that in mall. I wanted you to move on in your life and that would happen only if you started hating me. But now, promise me that you will move on in your life. I don't want to see tears in your eyes. Whenever you remember me, I want your cutie pyaara si smile. I know it will be hard for you,bela but will you please do that for me? Will you make your mahir happy by being happy?'. I cried a lot pearl but, at last I had to agree with him. The very next day he left to US stating that he will be spending his last 10 days with his mom who was in US. I never wanted him to go but he made promise on himself and left after making sure that I will never cry again. But it took me 1 and half year to come out of the depression. "

Her words literally left me in shock. I have never imagined that bela already knows the truth.

She tightened her hold on me and continued saying,"I Love You,pearl. I don't know when did that tiny crush on you changed into love. You might not believe that how am I loving you when I love mahir. But, I seriously love you. I don't understand how did it happen. I don't know if the holi event and that night was a dream or real but I want to spend my whole life like that with you if you are ready. Please text me if you love me back or just leave it, I can't hear a 'No' from you.."

Even before I could react or reply, she got up and left from room after giving a small kiss on my cheek.

I sat there like a maniac for don't know how much time. I had to process everything and oh my god, bela loves me.. Yippee bela loves me... I am so happy... Uff!! That pagal girl just left like that. But how do I plan to accept her proposal and propose her in return to marry me?

After a lot of thinking, finally I got an idea and immediately made a call to juhi for taking her help.

"Wowwww amazing plan,jiju. Aapko aathe kaha se aise gazab ideas?" Juhi got excited as soon as I shared my idea with her.
