Bela's POV

He continued crawling , when our lips were just a centimetre away , he whispered, "I'm Mahir Sehgal , CEO of Sehgal company. The proposal is regarding the decoration. I want your flower decoration work for my wedding. "

Words waiting to be uttered out fell down the blackhole. Thinking that he might be a worker I splashed all my dumb crap and now he turn out to be the CEO of the Sehgal enterprises. Forget kissing him , I wanted to evanesce out from that spot. My grin faded and it got replaced with an awkward curve in lips.

"Oh sorry sorry " I got onto my knees trying to be on my feet but slipped and he caught me on his arms.

"Again sorry" I grinned awkwardly and stood on my feet mustering all the strength I had instilled in me since the day I was born.

"If you are okay with doing the work I proposed , collect details from the reception and accept the advance payment as well" He implored and left the room.

Pov ends...

Mahir's POV

My drive back to home was occupied with her thoughts to the hilt. I don't remember her name , wait , I didn't even ask her name , maybe I have asked but I can't recollect. She might not be the most attractive girl I've ever met but she had something that captures eyes. Finding another girl attractive when I'm getting married in two weeks is a big redflag but who can control human emotions. Her infectious smile and non stop chattering...I can't obliterate it out from my brain.

"Mom , I wanna tell you something" I said while slicing the boiled potato with the fork and knife.

"What beta? What happened" Mom got concerned.

"Today we ordered few bouquets for an event in the office , I loved their work and asked them to do our flower Decoration for the wedding. "

"That's great , beta , you never even selected a bride on your own , I did it for you. Atleast you selected this , I'm happy." She smiled , running her fingers over my hair affectionately.

Pov ends.

"So you are doing the decoration? What greater than this you gonna get!!" Parineeti exclaimed

"True Pari , If atleast 5 guests notice our work then that'll settle our life for the next few years. As the advance payment they gave 50k. I have to do my best there , I can't let this job slip from my fingers." Bela's exuberance knew no boundaries.

"But bela , MBA graduate being a flower girl , I'm still distressed about it." Her voice mixed with a tincture of sympathy and empathy.

"If everyone got what they wanted , our world would have been too good to live in. The factual world is not so optimistic, the fittest survive as spencer said." Bela's eyes had a tinge of wetness which she hid efficiently like how she hid her personality for years.

Their conversation was broken by the ringing of bela's phone.

"It's Tia " bela screamed.
"Pari , go from here , Lemme have some secret talks with her , it's been weeks since she called" Bela persuaded pari to leave the room and shut right the door.

"Hello Tia!"

"Bela , they locked my phone and I couldn't even communicate with my friends. I'm literally living in a golden cage." The words broken by the continuous sobs

"Wha--what happened Tia "?

"They fixed my marriage , that too in two weeks. Next week engagement. Once they got to know about Maddy , they searched for a groom in hurry , they tried their best to brainwash me. Now I'm acting like I'm happy about this to get my phone back." Her whole story she elaborated in one breathe.

"Who is marrying you? Any details?" Bela panicked.

"Mahir sehgal , the wedding letter and all I whatsapped."

Hearing the name itself , 10000 volt bubl glowed in her face. Bela briefly explained everything that happened in the Sehgal office.

"See they asked me to be present in the Sehgal House tomorrow itself for the decoration work to commence. I'll be there , even two days before you. Let's plan this together. I've got every details about rooms and things. Workers including me stay in the guest room while you guys be there in the 3rd floor of the Sehgal House. A day before the wedding , at night you can elope." Bela explained

"Bela , you are taking all the deadly risks in your shoulders for me. I'm so grateful"

"You were with in those episodes of life were none stood with me other than uncle. You think these risks I'm taking is deadlier than those?" Bela smirked and laughed.

As soon as the speck of Sehgal House itself came into the sight , Bela was flabbergasted with the massiveness of the house and the grandeur it held. Multiple fountains on either side and flower trees oscillating to and from showering bright yellow flowers over bela's head.

"Flower decorater?" A girl asked from behind.
"Yeah" bela turned to reply.
"I'm vishaka , nice to meet you. Come let's go together" The girl in her late 20s politely smiled. Her blonde hair reaching her midrib and the short frock touching her knees.
