Bela stood infront of her mirror getting ready combing her hair.

"Waah Bela, how are you so beautiful? Lovely!", Bela said to herself

"What's cooking Bela?", Came a voice

Bela turned around and smiled seeing Yuvi there.

"Heyy Yuvi", Bela smiled setting her hair

"You are going somewhere?", Yuvi asked

"On a date", Bela flipped her hair facing him

"With?", Yuvi scrunched his brows

"Who else? Your big brother", Bela smirked

"Bhai is coming on a date with you?", Yuvi asked surprised

"He will", Bela blushed

"He agreed?", Yuvi asked shocked

"He have to", Bela said

"What do you mean he have to? He doesn't know yet?", Yuvi asked confused

"No, he doesn't know.. but he'll come", Bela said confidently

"How are you so sure Bela?", Yuvi asked

"Coz I know him", Bela smiled

"As in?", Yuvi asked

"As in no matter what, you brother at the end makes me happy.. a little effort and I know he'll come, that's why I din't ask him before coz I know he would surely deny", Bela said

"Thanks Bela", Yuvi said gratefully

"Thanks? For what?", Bela asked

"For understanding him like no other", Yuvi said with a small smile

Bela looked at him finding a different emotion in his voice, she just passed a smile and picked her purse.

"All the best Bela, enjoy", Yuvi said

"I wish I'll", Bela laughed

"You will", Yuvi stated hugging her

"Okay bye", Bela said backing off

Yuvi smiled seeing her excited and was hopeful to see them together after seeing Bela's continues efforts.

***

Bela reached Mahir's office and went to the reception. It was already evening when Yuvi came home but Mahir stayed back.

"Mahir Sir is there inside?", Bela asked the receptionist

"Yes Mam, but he won't be available now.. you should take an appointment", The receptionist said

"Can you please go and tell him that Bela is here?", Bela asked politely

"Mam, I don't think sir will appreciate it if he doesn't want to meet anyone now. He doesn't like anyone invading his personal space except for his family", said the receptionist

"Bela Mam?", Came a voice and Bela turned looking at a women in her late twenties looking at her surprised

"Bela, right?", Asked the girl

"Yeah, do I know you?", Bela asked confused

"You don't, but I know you.. I'm Nisha, Mahir sir's PA", Nisha introduced herself

"Oh Hi Nisha", Bela smiled

"Come Mam, I'll show you sir's cabin", Nisha said

"You sure Nisha? What if Sir scold?", Asked the receptionist

"Don't worry, Bela mam is Sir's family only.. he won't say anything, you please come mam", Nisha said and Bela followed her

"Umm Nisha, how do you know me? Yuvi said?", Bela asked curiously

"No mam, I have seen your pictures in Mahir Sir's phone", Nisha said

"He has my photos?", Bela asked stopping at her place

"I have seen a couple of times mam.. I saw him just looking at your pictures and doing nothing, it was enough for me to know you are special for him", Nisha said while Bela was listening with full concentration

"It's been very long I have seen sir like this mam, he had lost his smile a few years back and kept blaming him for the same.. he's such a nice person mam, how much ever tough he looks his heart is heaven. Can you believe he had helped me financially in the initial days of my work here when he knew practically nothing about me..

And I could see the change in him since a few weeks mam, it's not like he's changing also.. it's like that old Mahir is coming back in him and being his well wisher I couldn't be more happy than this. I don't know why this change, but just assuming you might be the reason", Nisha continued

Bela looked her keenly not understanding what she actually meant, the only thing she got is Mahir faced something bad before that probably he's still not over it.

"Don't worry, he will be fine", Bela smiled at her

Nisha nodded while Bela smiled at her thinking there's someone who could see his heart beyond that tough face apart from his family.

"By the way, he's busy now?", Bela asked

"No mam, there's no work now and that's why Yuvi sir had left.. but Mahir sir usually stays late night even when he doesn't have much work, he's used to it now but again I see since a few weeks he's leaving early though", Nisha said

"And you must be cursing him na, coz you can't leave unless he leaves being his PA", Bela laughed

"Oh that's there mam, how much ever I respect him this is something which annoys me", Nisha said and bit her tongue

"Don't worry, I won't tell him", Bela laughed at her

Nisha gave a sheepish smile and they both went towards Mahir's room. Bela knocked the door and slowly opened and found Mahir staring at his phone.

"If you are done staring at me in your phone, you can look up to see me directly", Bela said startling Mahir

Mahir looked up shocked listening to Bela's voice and was surprised seeing Bela and Nisha standing near his cabin door.

Nisha smiled at the both and left the cabin while Bela walked in smiling.

He couldn't help but just admire her in that beautiful dress and a smile crept his lips seeing her stand in front of him.

"What? What did you say?", Mahir asked remembering what she said

"Truth, show", Bela said taking his phone

She saw her photo only like Nisha said and her smile grew ten times wide seeing it. Whereas Mahir din't know where to hide his face being next level embarrassed.

"Give back my phone", Mahir asked

"When and why did you take my photo?", Bela asked leaning on his desk

"My phone Bela", Mahir forwarded his hand ignoring her question

"My answer Mahir", Bela said trying to see other photos in his phone

"Bela dare you check my phone", Mahir warned

"How sad, you can take my photos without my notice and I can't even see them?", Bela asked dramatically

"Bela, just give my phone back", Mahir demanded

"Then take it Mahir", Bela said smirking

Mahir sighed looking at her and moved forward while Bela smirked slowly keeping his phone inside her dress hiding in her cleavage.

Mahir's eyes widen is shock seeing her act and he looked up to meet her eyes only to see absolutely no hesitation.

"Wh.. what did you do?", Mahir shuttered

"C'mom, take your phone", Bela said pressing her lips

"Be.. Bela, just give it to me", Mahir asked looking aside

"Who's stopping you Mahir, come and take.. I promise I won't stop you", Bela said

Mahir looked aside fidgeting with his fingers and suddenly moved ahead trapping Bela in his arms and the couch which Bela fell back with his force upon him.

"Ma.. Mahir", Bela whispered

Now it was Mahir's turn to smirk and slowly moved his hand to take his phone and the very moment when his fingers came in contact with her cleavage slightly brushing, Bela closed her eyes feeling his soft touch so delicately.

Mahir took the phone out making sure not to touch her anywhere, but the small peekaboo of her cleavage made him gulp his saliva and immediately backed off standing on his feet.

"Get up", Mahir said looking aside

Bela smiled seeing him and adjusting her dress looked at Mahir.

"Help me", Bela said giving her hand

"You ar'nt a kid I suppose", Mahir said

"And there's no rule that only kids need help", Bela shrugged

Mahir rolled his eyes and pulled her through his hand, and Bela volunteering fell on him clutching his shirt in her fist.

"Mahir", Bela called still standing close to him

"Hm", Mahir said moving a step back

"Done with your work?", Bela asked

"No", Mahir answered not looking at her

"It's okay, I'll ask Yuvi to look into it.. you come with me", Bela said

"Where?", Mahir asked

"We are going on a date", Bela said

"Date?", Mahir asked surprised

"Don't be so shocked, and yes we are going for a date.. now come", Bela said

"Wait, I'm ain't coming anywhere", Mahir said

"You are coming Mahir, you see I already got ready for you and I'll be super depressed if you ar'nt coming with me now", Bela pouted

Mahir felt himself getting convinced for her words but still stood by his words and nodded his head in no.

"Fine, you stay here only.. I'll call Yuvi", Bela fummed

"You ar'nt going with him", Mahir stated making Bela smile

"Why not? He atleast agrees to come with me, compliments me.. so I'll go with him only", Bela said

"I'll do all that, I'll come with you.. happy?", Mahir asked annoyed

"Really? You will complement me also? Cool then, how am I looking?, Bela asked smirking

Mahir din't know what to say, she was way to pretty for him that all he wanted was to take her in his arms and never let her go.

"You.. you look nice", Mahir said

"Just nice?", Bela scrunched her nose

"Yeah", Mahir said

Bela glared at him taking her phone out, Mahir looked confused of what she's doing but Bela dailed Yuvi's number keeping it on speaker.

"Hey Bela", Yuvi cheered

"Yuvi, tell me how was I looking today?", Bela asked looking at Mahir

"Trust me you where looking both hot and cute.. I'm sure people are gonna fall flat for you today", Yuvi laughed at his last words

"Ok thanks Yuvi, bye", Bela cut the call and looked at Mahir

"You see this? This is called a compliment.. a honest compliment, he atleast won't deny what he feels so I think it's better I go with him only", Bela frowned turning around

"You are hot", Mahir said quickly making Bela stop in her way

She smirked knowing he would acknowledge, so far she understood Mahir doesn't like Yuvi flirting with her and somehow she's using it to get close to Mahir and smiled seeing her plan work.

She turned around while Mahir gulped seeing her.

"You are hot and sexy, specially when you sway you curves infront of me.. it feels uncontrollable infront you, specially when you always manage to take my breath away", Mahir confessed honestly

Bela's grinned wide blushing hard at his statement, no doubt this is the best compliment she received ever so far.

"Thank You", Bela whispered blushing

"And when your cheeks turn the pinkish shade when you blush, you look more cute just like a toddler", Mahir said

Bela stood there without a word looking into his eyes and found Mahir smiling a little and that made her smile thinking of his words again and again.

"Okay, let's go now", Bela said holding his hand

Mahir just nodded picking his things and went out, Bela found Nisha there already ready to leave. She smiled going towards her.

"How come you are all set to leave already?", Bela asked

"Isn't it obvious mam? You got ready so pretty and came for Mahir Sir.. so it's quite clear that you both must be going out which means I and the receptionist also can be home", Nisha smiled wide

"Clever, well can I have your number?", Bela asked

"Why mam, wanna spy on Mahir sir?", Nisha teased

"No, just in case he doesn't lift my phone.. I can have you, and believe me you are already a great friend to me", Bela smiled

"Feelings mutual mam, it was nice talking to you", Nisha smiled

They both exchanged there numbers and Bela went towards Mahir who was looking confused at the two so far.

"You are already friends with her?", Mahir asked

"It's a talent Mahir, you don't know about it.. come", Bela said taking him along

Everyone left except for Mahir, Nisha and the receptionist so it was all silent.

Bela saw the receptionist there and waved her hand passing a smile who returned with a warm smile.

"You know her too?", Mahir asked

"Forget about it, you should be a little kind towards your employees.. I mean c'mon they are so scared of you", Bela said

"They should be, otherwise they wouldn't work also", Mahir said

"They should work because they respect you Mahir, not because they fear you.. try it out once", Bela suggested sitting inside her car

"My car?", Mahir asked

"Leave it here, this time I'll give you a ride tomorrow morning okay?", Bela winked

Mahir smiled slightly nodding at her and sat next to her while Bela drove towards her destination.

"Where are we going?", Mahir asked

"To enjoy Mumbai's street food", Bela smiled

"Isn't it unhealthy?", Mahir asked

"Not all the street foods are unhealthy, even they do it hygienic and trust me this place is just awesome, you will love both the taste and quality", Bela assured

"But why street food?", Mahir asked

"Coz I'm sure this Richie rich Mr. Mahir Sehgal would have covered all the fancy places so why to go again, I was also sure you wouldn't have eaten any street food much so we are going now", Bela said

Mahir looked at Bela for a while and wondered how he just accepted everything Bela asked today, it's like he couldn't deny anything she ask for and he couldn't even help this feeling which already is dancing within him.

"No one will believe if you say you are a great bussiness man's daughter", Mahir said looking at her

"I know, but this is how my dad raised me Mahir.. since my childhood, ever since I lost my mother dad was too careful about me. He wanted me to know the outside world but not behind some fancy rich buildings, but on the roads seeing many other suffering..

And that's when I felt may be I'm still lucky to have my dad with me, while many don't have anyone or anything for them to lead a life", Bela said

"I like this quality of yours", Mahir said

"C'mom Mahir, you like me as a whole package only", Bela said making Mahir out of words

Mahir kept quite listening to her words and even Bela chose to be silent.

"That's true, I like you for everything you are", Mahir said after a pause and Bela stopped the car

Mahir looked at her and cursed himself for accepting it, he din't how to cover up and Bela was enjoying seeing his changing facial expressions.

Once all she saw was a hard and tough face and now when she could see rainbow expressions he's giving, she knew they had come long.

"Bela I..", Mahir was saying but bela interrupted

"We reached Mahir", Bela pressed her lips smiling at him

Mahir looked around finding a few small stalls placed continuously till an extent of the road.

"Come", Bela said going out

She moved to his side and opened the door for him and Mahir din't know what to say. He couldn't understand if he was the girl and Bela being the perfect gentleman.

"Shutup Mahir, even girls can do it.. it's not just a boy's thing", Bela rolled her eyes

"I din't tell anything", Mahir said widening his eyes

"I know you", Bela said grabbing him out
