The Heart Thief♥

♥ CHAPTER 7 ♥

'Brother? ', Mahir asked.
Vikrant replied, ' Yeah, Not a real one. But Bela considers him as her brother since her childhood. And that's why Abhay is very protective about her. '

The smile on Mahir's face after listening to this statement was not hidden from Vikrant!

Vikrant said, ' Listen Mahir, I know that you were confused regarding your feelings. But now your smile says it all! Now tell me what's going on?'

Mahir told him all that had happened throughout the day. Vikrant said, ' Mahir, I think you must apologise to Bela. ' Mahir replied, ' Even I think so!'

They both went towards Bela and Vish. Bela was talking with Vish. Mahir smiled at her but she ignored him. Vikrant said, ' Bela, What is your plan for Monday? ' Bela asked, ' Why? What is there on Monday? Vikrant reminded her, ' It's Raksha Bandhan, Bela. ' Bela said, ' ohh yeah, it slipped out of my mind. Don't worry I've decided that this year, along with Abhay, I will tie Rakhi to MAHIR also! '

Mahir who was drinking mocktail, choked it, as soon as he heard what Bela said. He doubted, ' Bela, you must be kidding, right? ' Bela replied, ' Not at all.' Mahir panicked, ' But why me? I mean, I am not your brother. ' Bela smirked, ' You yourself asked for it.'
Mahir said, ' What ? When did I? '
Bela replied, ' You wanted the same rights that Abhay has on me. It is his right to celebrate Rakhi with me. And so I am giving you the opportunity this year.'

Vish and Vikrant burst out laughing hearing this. Mahir glared at them. He said, ' Listen Bela, I...' , Bela cut him in between, ' I am in no mood to talk to you today. We will talk on MONDAY. Till then have a great time. Let's go Vish. '

After celebrating Juhi's birthday, all dispersed of to their homes.

At night, Mahir was thinking, ' The day after tomorrow is Monday. Before that I have to apologise to Bela. Otherwise.... no, no. Tomorrow I'll go to her house. There is no other option. Hmm, I have to do it.'
He requested Vish to accompany him to Bela's house.

Next Morning, Mahir and Vish arrived at Bela's place. Vish rang the door bell. Bela's Mom opened the door and said, ' Arre Vish! Beta please come in.' Both went inside the house.

( Bela's house)

Seema asked Mahir, ' Beta! Who are you? I've never seen you before. ' Mahir replied, ' Aunty, I am Mahir, Bela's friend. I've joined Warrior High School this year only. By the way, where is Bela? ' Seema laughed, ' Beta, I think you don't know. Bela never wakes up before 10 am on Sundays. Such a lazy girl I have! You guys go in her room and wake her up. I am making breakfast. Her father must be coming from walk.'

Mahir and Vish went upstairs. Vish got a call from Vikrant so she said, ' Mahir, you go and wake her up. I'll come in 5 minutes. ' Mahir nodded. Mahir went inside Bela's room.

The room was beautiful and spacious.
A huge and adorable portrait of Bela was hung just above the bed.
' Mesmerising! ' , slipped out of Mahir's mouth seeing her picture!

( Bela's room)

In one corner of the room was a beautiful swing!

( Swing)

And Bela was sleeping on the middle of the bed with half blanket above her and half below her! She was wearing Mickey mouse t-shirt and cotton shorts.

Mahir came near the bed and said, ' Bela! ' But she didn't wake up. ' BELAAA! ' , said Mahir, this time a bit louder but all in vain.

Mahir sat on the bed and stroked her hairs. He lightly patted on her cheeks to wake her up. And that's when Bela, her eyes still closed, landed on his lap!!!
