Behir mana ki hum yaar nahi

The story!

(Mahir)

After freshening up, me and Bela walked downstairs, hand in hand.

Bela has been frowning ever since Vishakha came and talked to her.
I have no idea what they were talking about but I know that it is about some girl named Samayra. And the way Bela tensed after hearing her name, I am sure she is not welcomed.

As we arrived at the hall, I found all of my family sitting on the dining table. Vishakha was also there.
But one unusual thing was a girl sitting beside Yuvraj aka vikrant.

She looks up as we make our way to the dining table and smiles- a little too sweetly.
She stands up from her place, rounding the table and stands in front of Bela.

"Long time no see." She says with a slight tilt of her head and embraces Bela in a hug, which Bela doesn't respond.

She pulls away from Bela and looks at me.
But before she can say anything, Bela holds my hand and takes me to sit beside her, on my usual seat.

Anyone who has heard Bela and Vish's conversation from earlier can easily tell that, this girl is Samayra.
And by the rigidness of bela's body, one can tell, she is dangerous.

She sits back down on her seat, across from ours and beside yuvi's.
"Bela, she is a friend of Yuvraj's. I am surprised you already know her." Dad says with furrowed brows and Bela shrugs.

"We have met before." Bela says in a tight voice and Samayra chuckles.
"Totally" The way she says it has me frowing.

"Uh- well, good." Dad says with an uncomfortable shrug and Mom jumps in for a conversation.

"I wanted to ask this since I saw you Yuvraj. How did you get that bruise?" Mom asks and I watch as Yuvraj glares at me while I try to keep my face blank.

"Because I breathed." He murmurs but I sure did hear him, choking on my laughter. Bela gives me a glass of water with a small- barely there- smile.

"Uh- what?" Mom asks again and yuvi looks at her.
"I bumped into the wall of my room." He says and mom nods, going back to her breakfast.

An uncomfortable silence falls over the table.
I watch as Bela makes eye contact with Vishakha and nods.
Vishakha nods back and goes back to her breakfast.
Bela does the same.

Feeling no longer hungry, I stare at Bela from the corner of my eyes.
She takes a bite and her face contorts.
She quickly stands up and rushes towards the washroom which is the closest- with a hand on her mouth.

I stand up from my chair and quickly go after her.

I reach her and hold her hairs with a hand while carrassing her back with the other as she empties her stomach.

She stands up once she is done and turns towards me.

I turn towards Mahir as I complete emptying my stomach.

He looks at me with a worried frown and I smile slightly.
"I am okay. Don't worry." I say and hold his hands in mine.
