Love me, or Hate me

part 7

The next day bel woke up to the smell of food. She recognize it right away and smile. She always loved when her didi cook her favorite food. Smiling she got up to get ready. She thought about their time when they all lived together  and how happy they were. But her smile soon change when she rememberd what happen yesterday.

She stopped what she was doing to think. What am I going to do?.... I cant go back, if I do he finds out....b..but if I dont he will know something  is up and will definetly find out. She sigh in frustration.  I cant let him know, I have to protect what's left of vikrant. But how will I do it before i start to show.  Bel thought about it before an idea struck her.

She felt disgust thinking about it, but she knew that's the only way. With a weak smile she puts a hand on her stomach, I will have to sleep with him, but it cant just be one time. It will have to be plenty. But mahir dont even want to touch me. Bel recalls when he had pin her to the bed out of anger. Holding her. She shook her head,  no...that doesnt count, that was just out of anger.he wasnt in his right mind. Maybe if I play obedient he might want too. Or maybe in his weak moment i will take advantage  of it. She decided before heading downstairs.

She heard her sister calling her name and asking how shes feeling. Rocky gave her one of his warm smile before she sat down. She looks around for vikrant, but he wasnt around. Shivangi  seeing this told her that his still moping over the news and he just needs time.

Bel sadly nods.

( mahir)

Usually mahir would have slept, but he did not since yesterday night. He was angry, but he didnt show it. One rule he made in his house hold is to never be out late unless it was an emergency. Bel his newlywed broke that rule, and as such he will have to punish her for it.

He heard a knock on the door, and saw his mom walk in. She asked of bel came back. He smile at her and told her not to stress herself. His mom wheels towards him and grabs his hand.

" dont be to harsh on her ok, she doesnt know our way of life."

" mother, I promise I wont hurt her. "

Soumya  didnt like the tone of his voice. " mahir?" She questioned

He held her hand " I promise I wont hurt her and I gave my word. You dont trust your son mother?"

His mother smile " I do that's why I will believe your word"

Mahir stood up to  escort his mother downstairs for breakfast. While going he thought  I promise mother I wont hurt her, but that doesnt mean I wont punish her. She not only broke  a rule of ours, but didnt even pick up my call.

While heading to the dining room, they heard his brothers talking about bel. One had said that mahir found his match. Another says bel will bring him back to his old self. Another responded by saying father should have passed the business to yuv.  Yuv smile, but stop seeing mahir by the entrance.

They had an eye lock before he looks away. Mahir held onto his mom chair tightly in anger. But his mom puts a hand on his hand to calm him.

" good morning Bhai" his sister says causing her brothers to stop their gossip.

Mahir  greets her while sitting their mother on the table. Mahir greets her with a nod. Once he sat down, he look around the table. His brothers advert their eyes. " why is it quiet now" he says

When no response he says " everyone was so chirpy earlier, but now their silence. The food must taste bad" he says

He watch as karan nudge Adi to get his attention. Mahir remembering something says " karan,  how was the presentation for our new development  coming along."
