Teri Aankhon Mein

Part 9

Guys, I wanna tell one thing. You all are amazing. You all guessed it correctly, it was ruhi. Your guessings were right😄
Love you all❤️

Like this days passed. Mahir used to do each and everything for bela. Within one week, she recovered.
"Bela beta, today is the starting of navratri puja. It's your first puja after wedding, so you both should do the puja" sumitra said to bela
Bela:Yes ma

Bela went to mahir to tell him this thing.
"Mahir ji, today is navratri puja. Ma said we should do it together"
"I'm not interested in this pujas. I not even believe in god. So if you want you can do, I won't come" mahir said in a strict voice while scribbling something in a paper
Bela:But ma told...
Mahir:Bela I won't
"I don't know why you are so, but I'll make you do this puja." Bela thought

All got ready for the puja. A big idol of  devi was placed in the hall.
Kuhu:Today we should do garba dance
Vish:Yes, I'm excited
Seeing bela, vish called her to join them
Vish:Bela, today we all can do garba dance.
Bela:Actually I don't dance
Vish:Oh really, then wr can start it from today. Bela one thing, will mahir attend the puja?
Bela:Don't know, I want to make him but he says he don't believe in god.

"I don't participate in any such puja" mahir said sternly to sumitra
Sumitra:Beta please
Mahir:I once used to believe in god, but not now. You know everything na
Sumitra:Beta, it's past. Now you are married to bela
Mahir:So what, I married because of that night. I can't love her like Divya. Divya was my first love and she will be my last love too

The puja started. Bela felt sad even though she didn't considered mahir to be her husband, all were doing the puja and arti as couples. First of all Vish and yuvi did the arti, then andy and sumitra. Kuhu, as she wasn't married did the arti alone. Then it was the turn of bela.
"Now he's not coming to do arti just to embarrass me in front of the people. Why he's doing so?" Bela thought. She was teary eyed feeling embarrassed. All the relatives were looking upon bela as she was the next one to do arti. Sumitra stood with downcast eyes as she was feeling bad for bela but not being able to do anything for her.

Bela's pov

All eyes were on me. I turned and looked at mahir ji who was standing away from the puja area behind the pillar. The pandit handed over the things for arti to me. I received it absent mindedly staring at mahir ji. Why he's doing so? We may not be husband and wife but we should atleast pretend it. I was teary eyed while he was standing without any emotions, not atleast looking at me. How can a person be this much cruel! When he cared for me, I thought he was good. But I was wrong, he's not good. He may not be a pervert as I thought, yet he's not good.
"Where's your husband" pandit ji asked me
"He....he...is...ac..t..." I stammered not being able to say anything
"Pandit ji, actually He's quite busy that's why. She'll do the puja alone" sumi ma said rescuing me from the embarrassment.

I started doing the arti. Suddenly a wind blew. But I continued doing arti. Then I felt the idol of durga ma to be trembling. First of all I thought it to be an illusion of mine, but within a few seconds, I understood that it was going to fall down.

Bgm:Aygiri nandini

It was a giant idol, if it fell down it will make great damage to all. I didn't knew what to do. It started moving downward for falling down. I was having the arti tray and other things in my one hand. Not knowing what to do in panic I placed one of my hands in the idol as if I was stopping it from falling down. All else were afraid to come near me as they felt that the idol will fall upon them. I was mustering all my strength upon the idol. I know I can't stop it from falling for more. My energy and strength was draining. The arti tray was about to fall down. I felt like falling down under the idol. I loose all my control and strength. My eyes were about to close. Suddenly I felt someone's hand over my waist. When I looked up, the other hand was on the idol.

I slightly turned my face and saw it was mahir ji. His hand and my hand were on the durga ma's idol preventing it from falling. I can't take off my eyes from him. His hands on my waist gave me a feeling of protection. Somehow we pushed it and placed it on the proper side. Again a wind blew. This time the red dupatta of durga ma fell on us. We both were inside that dupatta. Mahir ji and I had an eyelock. Both of us were not able to take off eyes.

Bgm:

Suddenly I coughed coming back to senses. We removed the dupatta. To my surprise, he took the arti tray and started doing arti.
"Both do together" pandit ji said
I too placed hands on the arti
