Love me, or Hate me

s2-Part6

After finishing everything and putting his son to sleep, they were ready. Mahir told his crew to head out.

While they were on the way, things weren't looking so good at the party. Bel after getting dress, couldn't help but remember the child she spent the time with. The way he smiled at her, the way she felt comfortable around him like she did with mahir. " who was that kid? Do I know his dad?" She says

A knock was heard, and yuv enters. Bel upset asks him why he entered when she hasn't given an answer for him too. She told him it's inappropriate for him to come in her room when she's his-,  She stopped what she was about to say and frown.

"Your what bel?" He questions a little upset. Yuv was tired of bel refusing to move on. Pretending like she's still related to them when her husband is dead. " when will you realize that you hurt yourself " he says pretending to care " Bhai is gone, can't you see that. He will never come back" he says grabbing her shoulder to shake her

Bel covers her ears and told him to get out. Yuv angry says " the sooner you realize this, the sooner you will be happy".

"GET OUT! GET OUT" she screams

Yuv sigh " bel, try to understand. I just want what's best for you. If you don't like it, then you don't have to listen, but please come down and enjoy the party. Your a huge part of this celebration, and it's expected of you since your the shareholder of the company."

Bel with tears starts to shake " I won't go....i won't, M....my husband is dead, theirs no joy in my life anymore.. " she says over and over

Frustrated, yuv storms out of her room. Sumitra passed by him, frowning. She saw bel sitting back down on her chair while looking at the bangles which were a gift from mahir. " I won't go, knowing you won't be there, I refuse"

She caresses the bracelet while in memory lane. Sumitra entering her room, touch bel, causing her to jump. "Bel"

" ma," she says in tears " why can't people just leave me alone. Why do I have to pretend that everything is fine to please people? "

Sumitra feeling sad holds her hand " bel, no one says you have to pretend. I miss my son every day, but this is his legacy. He worked hard to build this business and structure it the way it is today. He gave you his business because he trusts you to run it well."

Bel close her eyes when Sumitra touched her cheeks. " this is not only yuv celebration but also the companies. You gave him permission to run it until your better. And as the owner, the people want to see you. You don't have to do it for yuv but think of it as a favor and responsibility to mahir. "

Bel thought about the time, mahir actually decided to tell her his ideas of his business. How happy she was just to listen to him speak so passionately. Even though he didnt spend a lot of time with her, just by him stopping what he was doing to explain things to her, was enough to make her fall for him all over. Rubbing the bangles, she sighs before nodding to Sumitra.

....................................................

Mahir getting out of the van, felt emotional while looking at the house he grew up in. Rishi asks if he was alright, he nods. He told them to start bringing the things in the kitchen and direct them. One of his friends wonder how he knew where the kitchen was, but let it go for now.

Mahir felt so many emotions running through him like nightmares that won't go away. He stop when he spotted his best friend vish. Panicking, he tries to hide. He didnt want her to see him, not yet.

Vish walking around spotted someone very familiar to her. Her eyes widen thinking it's Mahir.  She watches as the person bump into someone and apologize. He sounds just like Mahir, but a little different. I need to see if that's really him, but what if it wasn't then I would just make a fool of myself, she thought.

Her name was called, and her dad coming to her asks if she was ok. Vish looking excuses herself and head to wear mahir went. She ignored her father and hurry.

Mahir sigh when he didn't spot her anymore. One of his workers asks if he was alright. He told them not to worry, and check on the food again. The recipe he chose was his mom's recommendation, she thought it would blow their minds away.

A few hours later......

As the party continues, and everyone sat down to eat. Yuv being congratulated for his ideas, saw bel coming down. She was looking gorgeous as usual. Mahir standing by the kitchen door, saw her heading to the head of the table. He frown when yuv held her hand. Bel, he thought before turning away from the door.

Unbeknown to him, both girls thinking of him turn around. Bel thought mahir was close by, while vish spotting him, vish decided if he wasn't going to come and face her then she will force him. She called a waitress and told her to tell the chefs that the man of the hour personally wants him to bring the cake. The waitress nods and leaves.

Sumitra watch as yuv got up to make an announcement. He hits the glass to grab everyone's attention then he told them to cut the music. While bel was eating, yuv decided to stand in front of her. He told everyone how he has been handling the company, and how they all wish for him to get married soon. He said at first he wasn't ready, but now in front of everyone, business owners and their family, he will propose to the person he cares about.

Looking at bel, yuv took something to put and drop down on his knees. Bel's eyes widen. Yuv smirking says " will you marry me bel"

Bel chocked on her food while listening to everyone telling her to say yes. Sumitra eating stops when she recognizes the food. Same texture, flavor, and ingredients. This was one of the kind. " it couldn't be" she thought

Before bel could respond, the light turned off and people came out singing the birthday song. Mahir in character carries the cake until he was next to yuv. The tension died down when they sang. Bel sat down upset.

Mahir told yuv to blow his candle and make a wish. Yuv smile, but stop when the cake was down. " you!" He says surprise

The light came on and everyone was shocked to see Mahir.
