Bela's POV:
My eyes literally popped out the minute Sumi aunty said that.
I wanted to use an ear bud and clean my ears.
For once I shook my head to confirm if Im awake.'Stop behaving like a monkey Bela. Sumi is right. We and Sehgal's thought this to be a good plan'
I swallowed my saliva nervously.
These parents don't have any other ambition in life or what? Yet another time they want me to get married and this time to this ...?? 😟😒🙄😤🤢🥴😵
Oh god!!!
And before I could say anything...
'Mr Rolling eyes' jumped into the conversation!!!
'Its a No Ma....it's a BIG NO!!! Have you seen her??? Is she my type??? Forget ...is she normal??? I mean she literally behaves like a monkey... '
And my cooker whistled real loud 🤬
'Oh Hellooooo...how dare you call me a monkey... You...you... You....blob fish!!!'
'Whattttttt' he shouted
I smirked at his irritation 😏
'Yes blob fish!!! That's what you are!!! Always sulking!!! You really must try to get a role in TV serials. Tv ki bahurani (daughter in law)''And what are you tv ki Naagrani (Anake Queen) all the time spitting venom!!!' he yelled coming closer to my face...
'Oh Hello... That's atleast entertaining unlike your regular cry baby face..go hide your self in your momma's veil...' I quickly looked at Sumi aunty and said 'No offense aunty...but he is a cry baby...guess you had a lot of mood swings na when he was in your womb!!!' I said laughing... To which Sumi aunty burst out laughing too hiding it behind her palms...
'And when you were in your mom's tummy I guess Achala aunty got food poisoning... After all it's not normal for a sweet and kind woman like her to give birth to a venomous snake like you! Naagin kahi ki!!! (Snake types)...' he spit out...
To which my mom burst out laughing loudly...
Our parents were enjoying this stupid banter!!!I was getting pissed off!!!
'Just like you age old blob fish!!! I wondered why Ruhi left you on the night before your wedding...come on who wants to marry a cry baby like you' I said and next second I realised what I blabbered.
I bit my tongue.
While I could see angry tears surface in his eyes. He breathed deeply and next second started walking towards his room.
While my mom hit my shoulders hard...
'How insensitive was that Bela... Fine you don't want to marry him...but who gave you rights to pin point his past. You and I ...no one knows what happened... and you stupid girl...just that you wanted to score a point in this stupid debate you blurted out shit like this!!! I'm disappointed with you Bela. It's extremely shameful. I never gave you this upbringing.' mom said while I lowered my gaze and my head was hanging low.Indeed I crossed my line.
While Sumi aunty patted my shoulder...
'Its ok Bela...I know child...you didn't mean it...it's....it's just that even after 3 big years Mahir is unable to get out of that phase. He hates the mention of Ruhi but is still not over her. First love...first heartbreak is always tough na Beta...' after listening to Sumi aunty I felt even worse...I'm never the kind who hurts people although I fight with them.
'Aunty I was just... I got angry at the mention of an engagement with him... and it's just he called me names and I... It's no justification aunty...I'm sorry' I said and she nodded and patted my cheeks lightly.
