( Mahir made Bela sit beside the chair of his own chair. He took her hands and said...)
Mahir: I'm sorry Bela. Please forgive me for all the misdeeds of mine which hurt you.
Bela: mahir ji I have already forgiven you. You don't need to say anything and please let me put medicine on your wound
(Mahir looked towards his hand and said....)
Mahir: how can you be so kind hearted Bela??? I slapped you with this hand and now you are ready to put medicine on the same hand??? Are you not angry with me
Bela: no mahir ji. I can never be angry upon you. You know why???
Mahir: because you love me. Right???
Bela: yes mahir ji. I love you very much more than my life. Ok leave all this and let me put medicine and after that you have to take dinner also
Mahir: yes I'm very hungry but Bela..... My hand is paining. How can eat???
Bela: oh no. Mom is also not here. What to do???
Mahir: why don't you feed me??? With your hands
(Bela looked mahir shockingly because mahir neither used to drink a glass of water offered by her nor eat food served by her. In fact if from somewhere he got to know that Bela had cooked something, he used to order something from outside. But today he wanted her to feed him. She was so shocked. Mahir looked her face and continued saying...)
Mahir: Bela I'm really sorry for my behaviour. Before today, there were many times when I insulted you directly and indirectly. I never sat and had food with you. In fact I used to walked out whenever I saw you sitting with me. By doing all these I hurt you. Please forgive me. I am really sorry
(Mahir said with tearful eyes)
Bela: mahir ji please forget everything and please have a bite
(By saying this Bela offered him food with her hand. Mahir became happy but when bend ahead to have it, everything disappeared. Bela was not there. He stood up and looked at dining table. Nothing was there. No food, nothing. Till now mahir was only imagining Bela. She was in his imagination only, not in the house. Mahir sat disappointingly. Tears started coming from his eyes. Yes, after realising his mistakes, mahir started missing bela. He wanted to see her, talk to her, apologize to her. He wanted her to slap him, abuse him, scold him but she..... She is not there. From the 1st day of their marriage, he always wished to throw her from his life and house as well to get peace in life. Today she is gone but there is no peace in his mind. He cursed himself but nothing can be done. He started crying very badly. Suddenly he heard his mother, sumitra's voice....)
Sumitra: are you crying??? But why??? You should be happy na??? You always wanted this and today you are not looking happy. Never mind. Take this
(Sumitra offered a packet to mahir)
Mahir: what is this maa???
Sumitra: open it and have a look
(Mahir opened the packet. There were sweets with a card. Mahir opened the card which read - mahir weds vish. Mahir got shocked)
Mahir: maa what is this???
Sumitra: can't you see mahir??? Your marriage card with sweets. You always wanted to marry Vish, now I'm ready for this marriage. I will happily let you marry that Vish. You know why??? Because you don't deserve a girl like Bela. You are not worthy for her. In fact you and Vish deserve each other only. So go and happily marry her and one more thing, after marriage you can buy new house and live with her leaving us. That's what have you decided na???
(Mahir looked towards sumitra. This was the line what mahir told to vish's parents to convince them for his and vish's marriage. But how did sumitra know this???)
Sumitra: shocked??? How do I know what you said?? I had gone to meet your Vish but after going there I got to know how my son thinks of leaving us
Mahir: maa I'm sorry. I ..
Sumitra: don't say anything mahir. Don't say sorry. In fact I am sorry because of me you and your Vish faced many problems. I ruined your happiness. So sorry
Mahir: maa...
Sumitra: I'm done and one more gift for you
(Saying this sumitra offered a CD Cassatt)
Sumitra: I never thought that you can be so blind in love. You slapped Bela without knowing the reason why did she slap your Vish?? And after slapping, you insulted her and her family??? This is what I taught you??? That day Bela did right thing to slap Vish. If I were there, I had also slapped her. Go and watch the CD otherwise you will complain that I am accusing your kind hearted Vish
(Sumitra left. Mahir went his room and played the CD. It was the CCTV footage of the hall of that day. Everything was recorded how Vish misbehaved with Bela. How Bela did not react and said anything until Vish started talking rubbish about Bela's parents. After watching this, blood started boiling inside mahir. He broke the TV. He became very angry on Vish and moreover on himself. Now he realized his mistakes and cried. Cried whole heartedly. Sumitra heard his crying but did not go to console him. She is angry on mahir because he has done wrong. Mahir cried and cried and slept)
.................................................................
Next morning.....
(Mahir got up early. His head was paining due to crying. He sat on his bed and held his head. Sumitra entered his room)
Sumitra: mahirrr are you fine beta???
(Looking his mother's concern, mahir heart filled with guilt. How can he think of leaving his mother??? And that for a betrayer girl Vish???)
Mahir: I am fine maa
Sumitra: why are you telling a lie mahir??? Your eyes are telling that you cried whole night and because of that you must be having severe headache??? Let me massage your head
(Mahir put his head on sumitra's lap. Sumitra started massaging his head. Suddenly mahir said...)
Mahir: maaa I want Bela. I can't live without her. Without her I am not able to breathe. Maaa please call her back otherwise I will die. I can bear her hatred but not this separation. Please maaa please. I promise I will not let a single drop of tear to come from her eyes. Please maaa call her back
(Mahir again started crying. His mother wiped his tears)
Sumitra: I also want to call her back but the problem is I don't know where is she??? I called her house in dehradoon, but no one picked the phone. Her neighbour Suhani told that Bela's house was locked. Nobody knows where both father and daughter went
