Love me, or Hate me

part 2

" son you may see me as the bad villian in this family, but one day you will understand why I did this" he recall his father said

He could hear his mom scream, and cry. " dad please dont do this" he remember saying.

" MAHIR!...move out the way now" his father said with anger

Scared he moves back while his father drags his mom upstairs.

A now present mahir gets up from his bed. His room pitch black. He stares out the window and knit his brow " I never understood his action, but one thing he wasnt wrong about is women being our enemy." He says

Recalling a memory he wished to forget. Angry he slams his fist on the wall. Causing his hand to sting. " it's been a while since I box, I should start again" he says

Suddenly a knock was heard, and in came bel. He look at her in her wedding gown from earlier. And watch her expression. He could tell she wanted to say something, especially  by the way she kept fidging with her hand. " speak" he says sternly

Bel looks up " was it true, Did you really prevent vikran from stopping the wedding" she says

Mahir became mad hearing her speak of her once lover. He walk to her and grab her hand. He lifts it up and watch as her bangles moves. " dont you have any shame, talking about another man who has no importance infront of your husband"

He squeeze her hand a little while removing her bangles, letting it fall to the ground.

Bel wince when one of it scratch her hand. She tilted her head to look at him, he look down at her. Both having a romantic stare. Bel says " if I am shameful than what are you, stealing another man's  woman "

As soon as she said this, he spins her around to face him. Grabbing her face and moving her body closer he says " stealing, where on you has his mark?hmm"

Bel wince, he moved her to the mirror roughly and turns her towards it. He touches her shoulder to reveal a naked skin " where is his name on this part" he says angrily

Bel tries to hide her naked shoulder while her heart beats out of fear. Mahir let's her hair down and smells it " where is his scent on your hair?" He asks again.

He forcefully tries to kiss her, but bel moves to avoid it. " no....no...you cant" she says, " this doesnt belong to you. I dont belong to you" she cries

Mahir chuckles, before grabbing her face and kiss her. While kissing her bel bites his bottom lip hard, but he didnt budge. He finally moves away and throws her on the bed. Ignoring the blood that drips from his lip.

" just remember this bel, and remember well. Your body, soul and life belongs to me. If you cant understand that I will make sure that the only man that will be carved in your heart and mind is me. You will yearn for me until your heart starts to bleed."

Looking at her frightened state he smile " I will give you a reward by not completing  the ritual a husband and wife should do. I would hate to get my hands dirty." He says before walking out the room.

When he left, bel on the bed. Starts to cry.

She recalls what happened  earlier when vikrant came. When she had saw him, she left mahir side and ran to him. Causing everyone to stare in shock.

Bel hugs him for dear life. Mahir mom looks at him to speak, but mahir signal for her not to say anything. Shivangi  shook her head. Didi, this is not the time to do this. Your married now, she thought.

Bel still hugging and crying calls his name. She asks him, why he didnt come sooner, why did he have to make her marry someone she doesnt love.

Vikrant glares at mahir, who was looking at them with no expression. He says " I was here bel, but I was held back by guards."

Now bel pulls back " what?"

He nods " yes, I was held back and was taken to a room where I had to watch you marry that fool"

Bel says why would they do that. Vikrant told her to ask her new husband. When he said this, he said it in spite. He grabs bel shoulder in anger  " why didnt you tell me you were getting married? Why did I have to learn the last minute...hmm"

Bel quickly interrupted " I wanted to tell you, but dad told me not too. He made me promise not too"

Vikrant hurt says " so that's more important than our love, bel." He says

Bel starts to cry " please dont say that"

Vikrant turns away" I thought our love was stronger than this, but you just proved  me wrong"

Bel grabs his hand " vikrant please look at me, dont leave me"

He says " than can you be able to walk away from this. You ask not to leave you, but can you do the same for me now"

She let go of his hand while thinking. That was all vikrant needed before crying himself. " see, you cant even do that. This is goodbye bel" he says

Bel watch as he leaves dejected. Feeling her heart breaking she was about to run after him, but a hand stops her. She looks up to see mahir with a poker face. " I think you have embarrassed me enough bel, dont do something else that will ruin your character." He says

Shivangi walks to her sister and hugs her. She asks mahir if she can take her and talk to her for a few minute. Mahir agrees, he turns to his guest and told them vikrant was a brother to her. But he missed their wedding that was why she was so emotional.

Once they believed that, the party continued. Mahir looking at the stairs where bel was going, glare at her with anger. This embarrassment you have caused me, I will pay it twice back.
