The Heart Thief♥

♥ CHAPTER 8 ♥

Bela kept her head on Mahir's lap, hugged him from his waist and murmured, ' Mamma, please let me sleep. ' Mahir smiled at her. Her hairs were coming on her face. He stroked her hairs lightly and tucked it behind her ears. Bela smiled a little in her sleep.
Mahir was lost in her serene face. He leaned towards her and whispered in her ears, ' Bela, it's me, Mahir. '

Hearing the word MAHIR, Bela got up with a jerk. She looked at Mahir. For a second, she was blank. Then, she yelled, ' You?' Mahir kept his palm on her mouth to make her quiet. Both were intensely gazing at each other.

After a while, Bela held his hand and removed it from her mouth. She composed herself and said, ' Mahir, What on earth are you doing here, in my bedroom? '
Mahir still lost in her eyes, replied, ' My name sounds so good from your mouth! '
Bela asked, ' What? '
Mahir said, ' I mean, normally you don't call me by my name.'
Bela said, ' This is not the answer to my question. ' Mahir replied, ' Umm, actually I came here to apologise for my yesterday's behaviour. ' Bela said, ' Is this the way you apologise to someone? By sneaking into someone's room? '
Mahir nodded in a no,' I didn't sneak into your room. In fact, your Mom told us to come here and wake you up.'
'Us? ', asked Bela. Mahir replied, ' Yeah, me and Vish. ' Bela asked, ' Vish? Where is she?'

'Bela, I am here. ' , said Vish, who just entered into the room. Seeing Bela and Mahir sitting closely on the same bed, she was amazed. She said, ' I was on terrace, talking with Vikrant. But what are you guys doing on the same bed? '

'Nothing!', both replied in unison. ' Vish, I am going to freshen up. You both sit here. Then, we'll go downstairs together. ' Vish nodded.

Vish pointed towards the swing and said, ' You know Mahir, this swing is very special for Bela. Her Grandma gifted it to her on her last birthday. She doesn't let anyone sit on the swing, not even her parents. ' Mahir was amused. They were talking when Bela came. All three went downstairs.

Mahir was seeking an opportunity to talk to Bela. Seema said, ' Vish, Mahir come join us for the breakfast. '
Bela said, ' Mamma, Mahir must be getting late. Right? So, let him go.'
Mahir replied immediately, ' No, I am not at all getting late. Aunty, I will surely have breakfast.' Seema smiled.

( Dining table)

All settled at the breakfast table.
Seema served breakfast to them. Bela asked her Mom, ' Mamma, Where is Papa?'

At that time, a strong masculine voice came from behind, ' Here, I am darling! '
A smile crept on Bela's face seeing her father.
Rakesh got a phone call from office. He said in a little loud tone, ' That's not my concern. I have given enough time to you. The project should be completed by tomorrow. '

Mahir gulped his saliva, ' Bela's father can give a tough competition to Bela in being dangerous. Mahir, you need to be careful! '

Rakesh joined them for the breakfast. He asked Mahir, ' What is your good name, boy?'
Mahir replied, ' Uncle, I am Mahir. Bela's classmate. ' Rakesh nodded.
Vish whispered to Mahir, ' When Aunty asked at that time you were Bela's FRIEND and now CLASSMATE! Why so?'
Mahir whispered pointing towards Bela , ' Because this lioness is sitting here!'
Both giggled.
Mahir said to Seema, ' Aunty, the breakfast is damn yummy. I will definitely come very often to have this tasty food. '
Seema said happily, ' of course beta, at least you are praising my food. You are really very nice. Otherwise some people don't know how to praise someone! ' She said this eyeing towards Bela and her father.
Bela glared at Mahir.
Mahir thought, ' Mahir, you had came here to apologise to Bela and now the situation is getting worse. The way she is glaring at me, I am gone today! '
