Mahir started driving towards the village where Bela went for the medical camp, it took him three and a half hours to reach but din't know where exactly Bela was.

He din't wanted to call and ask her, rather felt to surprise her and chose to ask Vish about her.

He dailed Yuvi to ask Vish's number.

"Hey Bhai", Yuvi said

"Send me Vish's number", Mahir asked

"She's my girlfriend Bhai, don't try to hit on her okay?", Yuvi said

"Shutup and WhatsApp me her number Yuvi", Mahir said and cut the call

Mahir checks Vish's number and quickly calls her.

"Hello", Vish said

"Hey Vish, this is Mahir", Mahir said

"Hey Mahir", Vish smiled

"Ahh where are you guys? I.. I mean, I'm close by.. had to come for some work, so thought to meet you people", Mahir shuttered

"Is it? Cool then, I'll text you the current location", Vish smirked sensing something

Mahir sighed thinking what all he's doing for Bela. He drove to the address Vish sent and got down the car and found Vyom there.

"How can I forget even he's here.. is she like gonna marry him like her dad wanted?", Mahir thought

"Hey Mahir, come Bela is there", Vish said seeing him there

Mahir nodded awkwardly and went along with Vish while he saw Vyom coming his way.

"Don't come, I don't even want to greet you", Mahir thought looking at Vyom

"Hey Mahir, good to see you.. but din't expect though", Vyom laughed

Mahir just gave a tid nod and smiled while his eyes automatically started looking for Bela around.

"She's inside Mahir, just went to have lunch", Vish smirked

Mahir gave an awkward smile not knowing what to answer and smiling looking at Mahir, Vish and Vyom walked away while Mahir moved inside.

He saw Bela eating her lunch with a group of people surrounding her and Mahir gave a knowing look seeing her talking to everyone as if she knew each of them since ages.

"Something's never change", Mahir smiled to himself looking at Bela

He moved forward standing a few steps away from Bela. Bela looked up sensing someone and was more than shocked finding Mahir right infront of her.

"Mahir?", Bela almost whispered

Mahir just passed a small smile and Bela's smile grew wider seeing him. She kept her plate aside and jumped from her place throwing herself on Mahir and Mahir stumbled on his feet not expecting such move from her.

He kept looking at Bela who fit perfectly in his arms clinging onto him like her life depended on him and an instant smile made it's way on his lips and unknowingly his hands reached her back wrapping his arms around her clutching her tight to his heart.

"I missed you Mahir", Bela whispered smiling

"Me too", Mahir said softly

"Really?", Bela looked at him excited backing off

Mahir softly nodded his head and Bela smiled wide looking straight into his eyes noticing a different emotion that probably she haven't seen in his so far.

"By the way, how come you are here?", Bela asked

"Came here for some work, so thought to meet you all", Mahir said

"How boring Mahir, I thought you came to me coz you missed me", Bela pouted cutely

Mahir looked at her shocked not knowing if she said casually or was actually reading his mind.

"When will you leave?", Mahir asked

"Today evening, I'll look after the patients for like two more hours and then I'll pack up", Bela smiled

"Cool, I'll wait for you", Mahir said

"Okay then.. did you have lunch?", Bela asked

Mahir nodded in no and Bela frowned at him.

"What is this Mahir? Don't you know you should eat on time?", Bela face palmed herself

"Come", Bela held his hand pulling him to a tree aside where she was eating her lunch before

"Didi, who is this bhaiyya? Is he your husband?", A little girl asked

"Ofcourse child, din't you see the way they look at eachother with so much love in there eyes", spoke an elderly women

"True maa, they look so adorable together", Said another women

"Umm.. no, he isn't my husband", Bela said slowly

Bela din't dare to look at Mahir totally flushed at there statements and Mahir was equally shy to even look at Bela.

"Oh sorry Bela, we just assumed", Said the women

Bela just gave an awkward smile and went inside with Mahir and asked him to sit.

"Wait, there's no more food available actually.. you came at the wrong time, if you don't mind you can..", Bela said softly forwarding her plate which she was eating

Mahir looked at Bela who looked damn cute offering her plate with a little nervousness dropping her face and he had some urge to just pinch her soft cheeks that very moment.

Mahir gave a small smirk taking the plate from Bela's hand and Bela was surprised seeing him. She although offered him, she felt Mahir would never accept this way and now was surprised seeing Mahir behave so different than usual.

And the main thing, he's smiling.. more than usual.. more precisely the person who never smiles is smiling more than nessassary and this is making Bela way more confused of what happened to him today.

"Ar'nt you smiling more today?", Bela asked

"Isn't it good?", Mahir asked not looking at her

"It is.. very good, but why?", Bela asked softly

"Just like that?", Mahir shrugged his shoulders

"What is just like that?", Bela asked imitating him by shrugging her shoulders

"I don't know", Mahir said continuing eating

"Fine, you eat and stay here.. I'll be back in some time, and then we will go around before we go back home", Bela said getting up from her place

"Go around?", Mahir asked looking at her

"Yeah, you don't want to?", Bela asked

"I would love to", Mahir whispered

"You said something?", Bela asked

"No, okay.. we will go", Mahir said

Bela smiled and left the place while Mahir smiling seeing her go, somewhere he himself din't know what he's doing but something felt good from within.

***

"Walk fast", Mahir shouted

"Shutup Mahir, there are so many steps.. I don't have a gym body and all okay?", Bela said panting

"Then why did we come to this temple if you can't walk?", Mahir rolled his eyes

"I don't know, I heard this temple is really powerful and I wanted to visit before we leave?", Bela pressed her lips

Mahir sighed looking at Bela who seems unable to take a step further.. he moves ahead and quickly lifts her in his arms making Bela go surprised.

"Wh.. what are you doing?", Bela asked

"I'm sorry, I din't know you where blind also", Mahir said

"Very funny, why did you lift me?", Bela asked clutching his shoulder

"Coz you ar'nt able to walk", Mahir said as a matter of fact

"But.. it will hurt you later", Bela said slowly

"Let me make use of my gym body", Mahir said

"Oh yeah, that's also true.. what are all those six packs and biceps for? C'mon walk fast", Bela laughed

"How do your statement and tone change so fast Bela.. weren't you just concerned and now you seem all excited?", Mahir asked moving ahead

"I'm an unique piece.. you will never find someone like me", Bela said proudly

"I don't want anyone else either", Mahir thought

"Faster Mahir", Bela said

"I'll throw you here Bela.. keep quiet", Mahir said and Bela stayed quite till they react the last stair

Mahir carefully made her stand on her feet and that's when a priest came near them.

"It's been long I have seen someone carry there patner up the stairs.. this is a very old temple and is believed that who ever carry there wife up the stairs and pray to the god here will have a great life together", said the priest

Neither Mahir nor Bela knew what to answer, the priest left blessing them while Bela looked at Mahir who's already looking at her.

"What's it with this husband wife thing since morning.. I hope it just doesn't get awkward between us", Bela thought

"Shall we go in?", Mahir asked

Bela just nodded and went inside and all the while Mahir had some unknown peace from within just being next to Bela.

Bela as well felt the same and wondered what it is that she couldn't control her happiness the moment she saw him today that she literally fell on him which was surprising for her as well.

Somehow both of them where even enjoying the comfortable silence between them.

Mahir held Bela's hand taking her to the other side as it was a huge temple and they joined there hands infront of the god's idol.

Bela was praying to the god with full dedication while Mahir looked at Bela who kept asking so much from God.

"Always keep her happy and protect her from all the evil things god", Mahir joined his hands infront of the idol

"Take this child, this will protect her always.. consider it as a god blessings", Said the priest giving a holy thread

"Tie it to her neck", He said going away

Mahir smiled and looked at Bela who's still probably praying for everyone she came across so far.. the kind and a crazy person he had come across so far.

He kept looking at her, taking the holi thread from the plate which the priest left there and slowly reaching out to Bela's neck he tied it around still gazing at her peaceful face.

Sensing a touch Bela opened her eyes looking at Mahir and then looked at her neck only for her to be shocked of what was just happening.

"Mahir", Bela shouted

"Huh", Mahir said still lost in her

"What are you doing?", Bela asked pushing him away

"What happened Bela.. I was just tieing the holy thread which the priest gave", Mahir looked confused

Mahir looked near her neck and was taken aback looking at the Mangalsutra he just tried around Bela's neck thinking it to be the holy thread which the priest gave.. he looked towards the plate and realised he picked the wrong and now he did a blunder.

He looked up into her eyes filled with tears and that instantly priced his heart deep inside.

"Bela", Mahir whispered

"Don't tell me it's a mistake Mahir.. how could you not know what you are tieing?", Bela sniffed not knowing what to do

The sudden incident made her so scared and guilty from within that she din't even knew how to react for this now. While on the other hand Mahir was feeling very heavy from inside looking at the Mangalsutra hanging on her neckline.

"I'm sorry Bela", Mahir whispered

"It won't change anything Mahir", Bela whisper yelled

"Willingly or unwilling she's now your wife child", said the priest who just witnessed there conversation

"But.. but I dint do it intentionally", Mahir tried to defend

"But you tired the Mangalsutra around her neck infront of God's blessings.. may be you both are meant to be?", The priest smiled warmly

"Don't worry child, it's gonna be fine.. you both have his blessings", Priest said looking at the god's idol

Mahir looked at Bela who's already looking at him while her tears made its way down her cheeks flowing like a river and Mahir felt at most guilt at that moment.

"Here, apply the sindoor as well", The priest forwarded to Mahir

Mahir looked at him for a brief second and when the priest blinked his eyes assuring, Mahir forwarded his hand taking a pinch of sindoor and looked at Bela who is devoid of any expression.

He forwarded his hand towards her hair partition filling it with a pinch of sindoor looking straight into her eyes only to find her tears flowing more with every passing minute.

"Take care of her child.. she's your wife now", said the priest leaving the place

Mahir din't dare to look into Bela's eyes again after what he did.. he din't know he could commit such a blunder being so lost in her.

He still couldn't believe that now he's married to Bela mistakenly and honestly regretted his this mistake.

He for sure likes Bela, but marriage? Too much at an early stage of there friendship and probably it was something Mahir stayed away each time Sumi tried to get him married for all these years.

He can't accept this marriage, it made no sence to him.. for the fact that he would never be ready to marry her even if his feelings where real strong for her.. but now marrying this way scared him, the fear of further circumstances made him gulp not knowing what's in future for them.

"Let's go", Mahir said softly after a pause

Bela startled at his words who was zoned out about what's gonna happen next. Marriage isn't a small thing and this is surely not the way it was supposed to be whoever the person is.

She felt so much anger rising in her for what Mahir did because of his absent mind but felt even more scared and disappointed for it.

She gave a tid nod and both left to there car in silence which continued for the rest of the journey. The first time Mahir was getting restless with her silence and probably the first time Bela couldn't speak a word.

She has dreamt a lot about her marriage like any other girl, and now she just couldn't accept the fact that she's married like this more like a mistake.

They soon reached near the camp and Bela realising, quickly adjusted her dupatta covering her nupial chain and pulled her hair to cover her sindoor as well.

Mahir looked at her and ignoring him, Bela got down the car. Vish came smiling seeing them come back.

"Hey bestie, looks like had a great time", Vish winked

Bela ignored her words going inside, while Vish looked at her confused.

"What happened to her?", Vish asked Mahir

Mahir nodded in no while Vish went inside to Bela.

"Bela, what happened?", Vish asked

Bela looked at Vish not knowing what to answer, she knew Vish can read her in and out and she din't want anyone to know about it before discussing it with Mahir.

"Nothing Vish, just tired.. once I have a tight sleep I'll be all good", Bela said

"Don't worry, we are leaving now.. your bags are all packed right?", Vish asked

"Yeah all done", Bela said

"Cool come then.. Vyom must be waiting", Vish said

Bela nodded going along with Vish while Mahir came forward to them.

"You and Vyom go together Vish, Bela will come with me", Mahir said looking at Bela

Bela looked at him amused, unlike the previous times she wanted to spent time with Mahir.. today all she want is to hide her face from him unable to face him.

"Ahhan nice nice.. enjoy then", Vish smirked going to Vyom

Mahir moved towards his car followed by Bela and yet again their journey was followed by silence throughout.

Neither of them knew what's in for them in the future, none of them knew that should they do about it now but where Mahir wasn't ready to accept this marriage, Bela already made her mind that she is married to Mahir and now that he's her husband.
