The Heart Thief♥

♥ CHAPTER 19 ♥

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

- Victor Hugo

It was almost the dawn time.

The forest officer and his team had arrested the goons.

Vish asked, ' Officer, how did you get to know that we are in trouble? '

Officer replied, ' Vikrant called us.'

Bela asked, ' Whattt? But, How? I mean, they had taken our phones. And far as I remember, we all had given our phones. '

Mahir replied, ' Vikrant always keeps an extra phone which can be helpful in case of emergency. And I knew that. I gestured him to call the forest officer as he is his father's friend. Meanwhile,  I diverted the goons' attention on me by infuriating them. But in this process, they hurt you. '

Mahir said this while caressing the cut near Bela's lips with his thumb.
They had an eyelock which ended shortly as the officer said, ' As soon as Vikrant called us, we tracked your location and came. But as the gang leader has escaped, you guys have to be careful. '

Vikrant said gratefully, ' Thank you so much Uncle for rescuing us on time. '

The officer said, ' Ohh Vikrant, it's our duty to save people. '

Bela asked pointing towards the handcuffs, ' Officer, what about this?'

Officer replied, ' Bela-Mahir, Sorry to say but this cannot be unlocked at least till 2 days. '

Hearing this, Bela's eyes popped out of sockets while Mahir was dancing internally in happiness.

She asked, ' Why?'

The officer replied, ' See, you and Mahir will have to be extra careful as that gang leader will target you first. Don't worry, I assure you that we'll caught him within the span of 2-3 days. But these handcuffs have a special lock. Our experts will make the key but it will take time, at least 2-3 days.'

Vikrant asked, ' Mahir -Bela, where will you stay till then? '
Mahir replied, ' We can stay at my place. My parents are out of the city for a week. Only if Bela doesn't mind. '

Bela replied, ' Okay, I have no issues.'

They went inside Bela's tent to freshen up and pack their stuff.
Bela said, ' Mahir, I need to use the washroom. '

Mahir replied, ' Hmm, even I need to freshen up. Don't worry I'll turn backwards and close my eyes. '

Bela said, ' But..'
Mahir cut her in between, ' Do you trust me? '

Bela nodded her head and replied looking straight into his eyes, ' I TRUST YOU. '

Soon, they both freshen up and came outside the tent with their luggage.

All sat in the bus to return to Dehradun.

Tired of the dramatic night, all slept.
Bela and Mahir too slept on each other's shoulder.

Soon, they reached their destination.
Mahir, Bela, Vish and Vikrant arrived at Mahir's place.

Bela said, ' I am hungry, guys.'

Vikrant replied, ' Wait, I am ordering pizza and coke. '

After having the food, they watched a movie to pass the time.

At evening,
Vish said, 'Bela, Vikrant and I should leave now. Don't worry I've called your Mom and told her that our trip has extended for 2 days. '

Vikrant said, ' And yes, if you guys need anything, then call me or Vish. But don't move out from the house. It's not safe for both of you. '

Mahir and Bela nodded their heads in assurance.

After they left,
Bela said, ' Mahir, let's go to the bedroom. '

Mahir went close to her face, touched his forehead with hers and said in a husky tone, ' Woahh, you're quite desperate. Huh?'

His lips extremely close to her face was giving goosebumps to Bela. She slapped his cheek lightly and said, ' Shut up. I want to change my clothes. So, can we move to your bedroom? '

Mahir replied dreamily, ' Not my bedroom, it's our bedroom. '

Bela asked, ' Huh? '

Mahir composed himself and said, ' I mean for 2 days it's your bedroom too. And why are you wasting time?  You were in a hurry, right? Then let's go. '

Saying this, he dragged Bela to his bedroom. 

( Mahir's bedroom )

Bela was mesmerized seeing the bedroom.

She praised, ' Wow! Beautiful bedroom you have, Mahir. Have you chosen the interiors yourself ? '

Mahir smiled and nodded.

Bela replied, ' Hmm, beautiful choice, Mr. Sehgal. '

Mahir went closer to her and pecked her left cheek.
He winked, ' My choice is always beautiful, Ms. Sharma! '
