Mahir's POV:
'Mahir??? Mahir Sehgal am I right???' she asked and I was confused...
'Yes...I'm sorry I didn't recognise you...' but before I could complete she ran inside the house...
'Maaaa... Paaaa...' she ran through the corridor shouting loudly reaching the living room.
Looking at Mr Sharma she said
'Pa...like really him??? Pa seriously you must have asked Gowda uncle to enquire a little more before getting this proposal. Like seriously him??? He is committed Pa...He is Mahir Sehgal...my senior Ruhi Bhalla's boyfriend. Infact I even heard that he exchanged rings with her when she was in final year...how can you dad...you must atleast enqui' before she could complete her gaze fell on my parents sitting there...'Ummmm... Urgh... Hello uncle...ummm aunty...I didn't mean to...I...I mean.. maybe Mahir didn't tell you...ummm..'
Suddenly she went all embarassed and my parents also looked flushed. I was annoyed. I just wanted to leave from there so I just picked my jacket and car keys and quickly left the house.
Bela's POV:
He stormed out of our house like I announced that he is pregnant with my child!!! Idiot!!! He's always been like this unpredictable. Girls loved his this attitude in college. Most of the college had crush on him. And why not...he was quite the chocolate boy types that girl's liked. But shocking was he fell for Ruhi.
I mean yeah she was hot... Tallest girl in the college... Guys would drool over her so why not this Mahir Sehgal. News was that Mahir had proposed to Ruhi in 2nd year itself when Mahir was a final year engineering student. They continued dating even after Mahir got job in Bangalore. I mean girls were Jealous of him as he would visit Dharwad every weekend to meet that snob Ruhi. But then love is blind. Huhhh!!!But I couldn't understand why Mahir ran away like that. I mean he is 29 -30 year old for sure. If not today he would have to tell his parents tomorrow.
Just when I was in my thoughts I heard his mother asking me to sit down.
'Darling there is a confusion. We came here for your younger sister Vishakha. And the guy is Yuvi ...my younger son and not Mahir.'
Now that gave me immense happiness.
Bach gayi uff (Saved...uff).
While I wondered why Mahir left the house like that...His mom told ...
'Beta I guess you are not aware...Ruhi and Mahir broke up long ago. She.... infact ditched him just a night before their wedding.' and I was shocked 😲I felt bad for Mahir.
'Oh ...I'm sorry aunty...I had no idea' I said softly.
To which Mahir's mom smiled and patted my back. She tried dialing him in, trying to ask him to join for lunch. We were organising for lunch table and Vish looked very disturbed.
I took her aside and told her she can still say no. To which she said...she needs to talk to Yuvi privately.
So I somehow got Yuvi to the terrace and Vish got some time to discuss their personal life. While i was walking down from terrace I crashed into a strong chest again and I was shocked to see Mahir here again.
'I thought you left?' I said
To which he looked elsewhere and said...
'Yup... But I don't say no to mumma...so I'm here' he said strictly...While he was walking inside I called him
... 'Mahir... I'm....I'm sorry about Ruhi''She is still alive so stop giving her condolences' he said... started walking inside...
'Mahir please...I really was...I didn't know ' I said and he nodded.
We walked inside and soon Vish and Yuvi came down. They looked much more comfortable now than before. Soon I heard him whisper in Mahir's ears. To which Mahir spoke out loudly saying...
'Its a yes from Yuvi'While we looked at Vish who was blushing and whispered in my ears and I announced loudly that it's a yes!!!
Soon everyone started feeding sweets to each other.
The same day a few gifts were exchanged and a small informal engagement was done.The actual engagement date was finalized to be next Sunday.
Yuvi and Vish looked very happy. While we saw both parents discuss on shopping and function.
It was finalized that the engagement shopping would be done tomorrow.
Mahir's POV:
I was made to wait for Bela. I don't understand what a dumb idea this was. My brother was probably enjoying a date with his would be wife and I'm here getting bored with this woman whose name is although 'Bela' which means time yet had zero time sense.
I waited outside this stupid jewellery showroom since last 45 min and she is missing.
I don't understand why my mom is sending me for this kind of stupid shopping with an unknown girl.
To add on I had to go back to office. I only applied half day off. I have meetings in afternoon. I have to login from home.
And my login time was fast approaching. While I saw her get down from her scooty. I was irritated by now...
'If this is the time span you handle patients then god bless your patients and you''Excuse me??? I went to pick the clothes for Vish...don't act too smart' she said...
I was getting irritated.
Finally I asked her... ' Now let's go???'Finally picking up Vish's wedding jewellery they began making payments. While suddenly my eye fell on a beautiful ring. Before finalizing the ring I said...
'Bela wait... This looks better... One second let's try out... ' saying I pulled her hand and slided the ring to her ring finger...She was shocked.
I cared least but next second I was unable to remove it from her finger. She was also unable to remove it. We tried our best but the ring was not coming off her finger.
Finally without a go we agreed to buy it too.
While Bela did her monkey business to get rid of it and passed her a glare. I put that bill seperate from wedding bills.'I will pay once I get a job' she said and I rolled my eyes.
We collected all the jewellery and went home where our parents were over excited about engagement.
Suddenly Sharma aunty's eyes fell on her ring and asked...
'Oh my god... which ring is this!!!"
She looked at me accusingly and I rolled my eyes again.Damn you diamonds!!! Why do you shine so much.
It's not the diamonds alone it's her beautiful hands that shines more...her hand movement!!!
Shutup!!!
I mentally slapped myself and explained the scenario to mom and she passed a coy smile to Sharma aunty and I was trying to decode this language.
Believe me binary coding of my microprocessors are much easier than this language!
Creepy and scary.
I looked at Bela who was equally worried. 😨
