Love me, or Hate me

part 8

Bel sitting in the rain, kept blinking the water from her eye lid. She kept staring at the door while expecting someone to just open at any time. She knew he was angry at her and she was to blame. Putting a hand on her stomach, she promised she will try to play nice and do whatever he says, once he forgive her.

( Inside)

Mahir doing paper work heard a knock.  He told the person to come in. It was his sister.  "Bhai"

" yes what is it?"

" shes still out their in the rain, shouldnt we let her in now.

Mahir glares " no one asks her to stay out their, it's her stubbornness that's making her suffer."

" b...but bhai she has no where else to go."

" let her go back to her sister, I'm  sure they will be happy to have her."

" Mahir" she says

He held his hand up to silence her " Enough!....do not make me do something I will regret " he says  stern

His sister sadly turns and leave. Mahir looks  out the window while his arm were cross. Looking at bel who was shivering in the cold. While looking he thought he saw himself in her position.

Recalling, a young mahir waited outside his dad company in the rain after his dad refused to pay for his mom treatment.  He didnt know why his dad cut of their fund or why his dad hated his mom so much. No one would tell him what happend between them. Not even his other wives who live in their house.

One thing mahir knew is he hates his father. Hates him for causing harm to his mom, hate him for bringing those prostitutes to his house and say these are his new mother.hates him for marrying them leaving his mom behind.

He would rather live in the streets than asks him for help, But right now at this moment his mom wont get treated unless money is involve. Mahir waited and waited. Days pass, and his mom health was getting worse.

His dad finally came out one day. Telling him to get up. When he refused, he sigh. He asks mahir if he thinks his a bad guy. " yes father" he had said

His dad laughs " this is what I love about you son, your honesty. Theirs no one else who would be fit to run this company after me than you"

Mahir still didnt budge. His dad says " your mother cheated me so this is her punishment. She slept and got pregnant  with another man child and she had the nerve to say the child is mine when I havent touched her in years" he says dryly " than I found out shes been giving my money to him"

His dad says " anyway that's not important. I will give you the money. But once you finish college, you will have to run the company, give your life to it like I have done. Dont let anyone interfere , especially woman. They will only drive you away from your task and cause more problems.

Mahir was surprise by this, he knew his mom loved his dad very much, their just no way she would do that. Especially seeing how she cried every night when he would bed those woman.  He wanted to defand his mom, but if he did, his mom wont get treated.

He nods and his dad pulls him off the wet floor. " come my son, let's go to your mother.

Now in the present. Mahir stood out in the Rain with an umbrella. He puts it ontop of bel head. " do you hate me yet bel?" He asks just like his father

Bel getting tired was surprise to see him out. She shook her head as if saying no.  Mahir frown " dont lie to me bel"

Bel looks up " give me a reason to hate and I will"

Mahir chuckles " their have been many cases. But since you are so determine. I will let you in the house in one condition "

Bel eyes widen. When he leans forward and whisper something.  She hesitated.

Mahir pulls her hard, not to getntle. Bel falls on his chest. He frowns. He look down at bel, who looks up at him. Bel vision started blurrying. Before mahir knew bel fainted. Luckily, he caught her on time. Dropping the umbrella,  he lifts her off the ground and  took her inside .
