Love me, or Hate me

part 14

The couple stared at one another

When realized what he said mahir quickly tries to say something. Even bel was about to change the topic. They both stop staring and bel says "where are we heading?"

Mahir looks away " hurry let's get this over with so I can get back to ma"

Bel agrees, she watches as he drags her to a shop fill with sarees. The owner recognizing mahir, quickly asks for an autograph, this made bel confused.

After the little activity,  mahir asks the lady to help find a suitable outfit for bel. The lady smiles and told them to follow her. While skimming, she asks him what's her size. Mahir says he doesnt know. He told bel to speak up, which caused her to jump.

Bel quickly answer and the lady quickly ran to go and find outfits for her. Mahir turns to her " is it your goal to embarrass me in public"

" i... no it wasnt, i was jus-"

" just what?.... stop acting  like you dont know what's going on. It's bad enough that I'm  married to you, dont make things worse for me"

When he said this...he could see the hurt look in her eyes, but he didnt care. If it was the old him, he would have been on the floor apologizing until she forgives him. But no...he refuse to let anyone make him weak again.

The lady came back and told them to follow her to the dressing room. She gave bel the outfit and told mahir to sit down and wait. Mahir turn and walk to his seat, but stop when he felt someone bumped into him.

" what are you doing!" He yells

Bel says " you forgot , we are handcuffed together"

Frowning, mahir  searches for the key, but it was no where to be found. He ended up realizing he must have dropped it while walking. Sighing he told bel that she will have to change with him in there.

😦 " I cant"

😠 " why not, do you have a better suggestion "

Thinking about it she realize she didnt. Her cheeks started to turn a rose color when realize he will see her naked. She felt her heart skip. Confused by this, she wonder why its reacting like that, but than thought it must be because shes scared.

Mahir drags bel in before someone sees him. After shutting it, he told bel to change.

" I...I think I know my size now, so we should just pay for this and leave." She said heading for the door.

Mahir arm cross had a stern look " we are not leaving until we know it fits."

Bel nervous says in head. Why is it that he always puts me in an awkward situation. Cant he tell that I'm uncomfortable. She nervously snuck a glance at him before looking at her hand that held the saree. 

" do you want us to be here all day" he says annoyed

"N...N...no" she replied " but....can you at least turn around"

Mahir roll his eyes in annoyance before turning. When he did, bel begins  to change, she had difficulty removing her outfits especially when mahir refused to raise his hand so she can change. Stuck, she asks if he could help her.

Mahir smirk knowingly. He knew she would need his help to change, but apparently  she didnt when she told him to turn around. He could feel her movement, but decided to stall somemore.

" didnt you say to turn, now all of a sudden you want me to help you"

" I know I did, but I'm  sorry" she says " can you please help so we can leave"
