The Heart Thief♥

♥ CHAPTER 24 ♥

In the room,
Mahir just came out of the washroom.

Seeing Ruhi in the room, he was confused.

He asked, ' Heyy, you? Here?'

Ruhi smiled, ' Just wanted to talk to you. May be you are nervous. '

Mahir asked, ' Huh?'

Ruhi said, ' See, Mahir. Bela is my childhood buddy.
I know you're going to propose her. And trust me I am very happy for both of you.
But you know Bela's anger, right? That's why I thought that you're nervous. '

Mahir smiled, ' Yes, I am little nervous. But I've a feeling that Bela loves me too.'

Ruhi said, ' Hmm, wait I've a solution for your problem.
You rehearse the proposal in front of me and then you'll gain confidence. '

Mahir chuckled, ' No need of such thing. I'll manage. '

Ruhi tried to convince him, ' Arre, trust me it will work.
Common you can do it.'

Mahir nodded with a hesitation.

On the other hand,

Bela was looking for Mahir in the party hall.

The waiter told Bela, ' Madam, I forgot to tell you.
Mahir Sir was calling you.
I think he's in room no. 205.'

Bela nodded and headed towards the room.

In the room,

Mahir sat on his knee with Ruhi in front of him and initiated, ' I don't know what to say but I think it's high time to confess.
I just want to say that I love you. I love you deeply, madly and passionately.
Do you love me?'

Ruhi smiled and nodded.

Bela, who stopped at the doorstep witnessing the whole thing, was too numb to react.

She felt as if someone has stabbed a knife in her heart.

Tears started falling down her eyes and she ran away from there.

Ruhi saw this as she was facing the door and Mahir's back was towards the door.
She smirked wickedly, ' It was perfect, Mahir. Go ahead boy. '

Saying this, she left.

Ruhi followed Bela and saw that Bela was standing in the garden with a tear stained face.

Ruhi went near her.

Bela wiped her tears seeing her.

Ruhi said, ' Bela, I know you love Mahir. But trust me he loves me. May be you misunderstood his flirting as love.
But you have to face the reality.
See you are my childhood friend. I am concerned for you.
All I can say is you should focus on your studies and career.'

On the other hand,

Mahir went down in search of Bela and the waiter told him that Bela was in the garden.

Mahir came in the garden to see Bela and Ruhi.

Bela said, ' Thank you for showing your concern but I've realised that love holds no place in my life.
It is a waste of time and
Mahir is definitely not the right guy for me.
Right now, only one thing is important for me and that is my study and I'll prioritise it over anything.
So, goodbye and have a great future. '

Now, it was Mahir's time to lose his senses.
He was standing there heartbroken hearing Bela's words.

He knew that Bela was stubborn in the matter of love.
But he had a trust that he'll make her fall for him.

And now, that trust was broken badly.

He thought, ' I failed, damn it.
I failed to change your heart Bela. An ambitious girl like you can only focus on the career.
I was a fool to think that you'll not leave me.But I guess
You've accepted the offer letter of London university.
But this time I'll not come in your way.'

Bela was about to go when she saw Mahir.

She went near him and said,
' Mr. Mahir Sehgal, our story ends today.
Not from the fight to the kiss, but from the fight to the fight.
Hope you have a bright future with a good life partner. '

Saying this, she left the place.
