Wajah Tum Ho....

Part ~ 10: Mar Jaawan Jaawan

The banquet hall was decorated with a lot of flowers and lights and why not? Today was the reception party of the Mahir Sehgal and he wanted to be perfect for his wife. Today was the day he was officially going to introduce her to his world, the world she belongs to, to which she was the Queen of.

Bela was decked up in a bright red saree looking like a fairy. Mahir took a single glance at her and felt her world was stopped and when she gave him, her that shy smile with blushing red cheeks, he was a goner.

He gave her a once over not even trying to be modest. Why would he do that? She was his Wife! He has all the rights to look at her especially when she looks so breathtaking in the saree of his choosing.

********************************************************************************************

Bela peeked at him from under her lashes and saw him still gazing at her. As if she was his favorite dessert and he was going to gobble her up. But she didn't mind after all it his right. She blushed at her own thoughts.

She knew Mahir think her to be innocent. She was anything but. She had her own share of flings, but there was a line that she never crossed. Of course she knew how much he wants her. She did too. After all he was a handsome man and all HERS. Should would be blind not too notice.

He desired her and she desired him. Rest doesn't matter, that's why she had told him about Bali. It was always her dream to go to Bali with her husband, the man she would fall in love with.

Does she love him? She didn't know. After all they only been married for two days and known each other for a week. She didn't believe in love at first sight. How can you love someone based on their appearance? Love happens with time, as you spend the time with your partner.

You gradually fall in love with their good habits and bad habits. You get annoyed when he/she leaves the wet towel on the bed, when they forget important dates, when you have wash their dirty laundries, when you don't need words to express your happiness or grief, when saying "I Love You" everyday doesn't matter, when the most romantic dates is counting stars under the moonlight. That's love because you fall in love with "Who they are?" and not "What they look like?" or "How much they can spend on you?"

For her Love has always equated with Friendship. Jo tumhara dost nahi ban sakta, tum usse pyaar kaise kar sakte ho? (How can you love someone, who is not your friend?) Pyaar ~ Dosti Hai (Love is Friednship). Her thoughts might look like the theme of SRK's movie "Kuchh- Kuchh Hota Hai" but that's what she believes in.

Bela came out of her thoughts when all the lights got off and a single spot fell on her. 

Mar Jaawan Jaawan,

Mar Jaawan Jaawan,

Mar jaawan mit jaawan, mar jaawan..
Mar jaawan mit jaawan, mar jaawan
Ishq mein dil kya jaan bhi..
Naam tere kar jaawan,
Mar jaawan jaawan....

Bela stood there dumbfounded seeing Mahir singing for her. She had thought that Mahir was a private person, the way he acted with outsiders. But here he was singing in front if so many people just for her. She looked at him and unknowingly a smile came upon on her lips. Looking at her smiling at him Mahir winked at her with a mischievous smile.
