"His parents are out of town, so yes he's staying alone right now", Bela informed

"Not anymore, I have your company though" Said Rehaan descending down the stairs

Mahir glared at Rehaan for his words and was practically smashing the spoon in his hand.

Bela smiled at Rehaan who came sitting next to Bela and wrapped his arms around her shoulder making Mahir's blood boil seeing him so close to her.

"Hi Mahir", Rehaan gave a toothy smile much to Mahir's irritation

Mahir gave a tight smile while his eyes where still stuck on Rehaan's hand around Bela's shoulder.

"Will you stay with him? I'll go", Bela asked Rehaan

"Yes yes ofcourse, I'll give Mahir company.. you go sleep", Rehaan said

"Don't go", Mahir said when Bela got up from her place

"What?", Bela asked

"I want you to stay untill I eat", Mahir demanded

"You either eat, or can get out", Bela said glaring at him and left to her room

She fell back on her bed when Mahir's presence was bothering her like never before.

She could clearly observe Mahir's change in behaviour today and couldn't understand why he's doing all this when she knows he probably still loves his ex-wife.

"Get over him Bela", Bela yelled at herself throwing the pillow in frustration

Meanwhile, Mahir lost his appetite seeing how Bela tried to ignore him and this Rehaan was like a cherry on top.

"Hi Mahir, nice to meet you", Rehaan grinned

"Bad to meet you", Mahir mumbled

"I heard", Rehaan glared at him

"Good for you", Mahir said audible enough

"Well, why are you here.. for Bela?", Rehaan asked

"Why is that your concern?", Mahir asked looking at him

"Well, may be coz you are in my house now.. eating my hand made food", Rehaan smirked

"No thanks, I'm leaving then", Mahir said standing up

"Oops! Seems like someone's ego is hurt.. it's okay you can stay here, for the night also may be.. I suppose that's what you want as well", Rehaan smirked

Mahir gave him a confused look while Rehaan smiled at him.

"It's okay brother, don't think much.. you can stay here downstairs, far from Bela.. while Bela will be next to my room, keeping close", Rehaan said smirking at him

"You bastard, what do you mean?", Mahir said pulling his collar

"Woah woah so much anger.. possesive huh?", Rehaan smiled pushing him slowly

"Bela won't stay here", Mahir declared

"Sure, make Bela accept it.. if you can", Rehaan said as if challenging

"You..", Mahir was saying when Rehaan interrupted

"Chill brother, you should reduce this anger first.. and then increase your romance techniques.. then it will be much easy to you okay? I know you can try it, all the best", Rehaan said

"I'm not your brother", Mahir gritted his teeth ignoring the rest

"Oh yeah my bad.. good night jiju", Rehaan smiled going away leaving Mahir in his thoughts

"I would not think twice before suing this little kid next time he speaks a word about my Bela", Mahir thought annoyed at him

***

Bela wokeup next morning and freshening up came downstairs while Rehaan also just came to the kicthen.

"Goor morning Bela", Rehaan wished

"Good morning Rehaan", Bela smiled slightly

"Had a good sleep?", Rehaan asked

"Hm", Bela hummed thinking how she kept tossing around when Mahir wasn't leaving her even in her dreams

"Good morning", Came a voice and Bela turned back and widen her eyes seeing Mahir

"Wha.. what are you doing here? Din't you go back last night?", Bela asked not expecting him again

"How can I leave you sweetheart?", Mahir smirked moving forward

"You.. you should.. leave Mahir", Bela stammered

"Rehaan breakfast", Mahir said sitting on the dining

"Shutup Mahir, you are doing too much.. get your bag and move out", Bela yelled

Mahir sighed but determined not to give up.

"I have to talk to you Bela", Mahir said

"Mahir, I'm here for some peace of mind.. we can talk once I come back home, so please will you leave now?", Bela asked

"What are your plans today?", Mahir asked

"Are you serious Mahir?", Bela asked in disbelief

"I'm.. I'll get ready and come, we will go out okay", Mahir said going back to his room

"Why did you even allow him to stay?", Bela glared at Rehaan

Rehaan just shrugged his shoulders and went back to the kicthen while Bela rolled her eyes at him.

***

"Stop glaring at him Mahir", Bela whispered observing him

"Then ask him to maintain distance from you.. why does he always has to stick to you?", Mahir asked frowning

Bela glared and started walking looking after some other clothes in the mall while she felt a touch on her palm and saw Mahir was holding her hand in his.

She looked into his eyes which held pure love for her, but she din't wanted to believe his eyes and looked away instantly.

She tried taking her hand back while Mahir held her hand tight taking her with him, Bela couldn't object feeling his warm touch on her and just followed him blindly when Mahir stopped when he found a beautiful gown.

"You should try this" Mahir said

"I'm not here to shop", Bela stated

"You don't wanna shop? Then why are we here?", Mahir asked

"Window shopping", Bela smiled slightly

Mahir felt his heart skip a beat at that small smile which he was seeing after week's together.

"You should always smile Bela", Mahir smiled wide

Bela looked at him when his eyes where radiating so much affection, she looked down not wanting to drown in his eyes.

"May be I can buy one for you?", Mahir asked

"No thanks", Bela said looking aside

"Okay, help me select for Kuhu then", Mahir said

For a moment Bela felt may be Mahir actually wanted to buy for her and just used Kuhu so that she would accept.. but again when she remembered his love for Anu she shook her head as if getting back to reality.

"Come", Mahir said holding her hand

Bela choose to just go with the flow and din't wanted to oppose Mahir for anything now.

"This is nice?", Mahir asked showing some dress

"I don't think it will suit Kuhu", Bela said looking at the dress

"Will it suit you?", Mahir asked and Bela looked at him

"I think it will.. will you just try it for me?", Mahir asked

"I don't want it Mahir", Bela said

"It's okay, just try it for me Bela", Mahir said keeping the dress in her hand and pushed her into the changing room

A sudden rush of memories hit Bela when she remembered there small makeout for the first time in the changing room.

She closed her tightly trying to control her emotions and keeping all those thoughts aside changed into the outfit and came out and saw Mahir's eyes stuck on her.

"How's it?", Bela asked slowly

"You.. you look hot Bela", Mahir said when a amused smile formed his lips

Bela looked at him flushed not receiving such compliments before from him, she rapidly blinked her eyes if he actually said that or her ears ar'nt working.

"You are sexy Bela.. you must buy this", Mahir said admiring her

"What?", Bela widen her eyes in surprise

"Ahh.. I.. I mean, it's nice.. it looks good on you.. you should buy, yes?", Mahir asked slowly

Bela just looked at him and turned around going inside and took a deep breath thinking of his compliments.

She looked at herself in the mirror and parted her headed cheeks which already formed the darkest shade of red and she smiled seeing even after everything he still has so much affect on her.

She quickly changed into her clothes going out when Mahir took the dress from her hand going to the billing section.

He felt his eyes go numb seeing her in this dress which was making her curves more evident.

Only he knows how much he resisted himself from grabbing her hip and smashing her lips with his right at that moment.

"I.. I really don't want this", Bela said

"Then don't buy, I'll buy for you and you can just accept it", Mahir shrugged

Bela sighed seeing his stubbornness, "Fine, I'll pay give", Bela said taking the dress

"Nah, it's from me", Mahir said giving his card

Bela gave him a duh look and left the place searching for Rehaan.

"Where did you go? Don't leave me", Bela said to Rehaan not wanting to stay alone with Mahir

"I din't wanted to be the third wheel Bela ji", Rehaan gave a sheepish smile

"You ar'nt.. now stop acting and come", Bela said holding his hand

"Where?", Rehaan asked

"I'm hungry, anywhere I can get food nearby", Bela said

"I'll take you Bela", Mahir said taking her hand in his

He pulled her towards him such that Bela fell on his chest leaving Rehaan's hand. Mahir smirked when she left his hand and gripped his hand on her waist.

"Mahir.. what are you doing?", Bela whispered not meeting his eyes

"Nothing.. let's feed your tummy", Mahir said taking her with him

Rehaan with no other go followed the two and soon they reached a small cafe.

"What do you want?", Mahir asked seeing the menu

Bela din't answer but took the menu and herself ordered while Mahir smiled looking at her.

***

"Bela, come let's go home sweetheart", Rehaan said

"Sweetheart?", Mahir scrunched his nose

"Yes, any problem bro?", Rehaan smirked

Mahir just glared at him while Bela shrugged going with Rehaan.

"Bela, wait", Mahir said running behind them

"Leave her hand", Mahir whispered to Rehaan

"She doesn't seem to have any problem though", Rehaan replied

"She does", Mahir said

"Bela, do you have any issue if I hold your hand this way?", Rehaan asked

"No, I'm good Rehaan", Bela passed a small smile

Rehaan looked at Mahir giving a winning smile while Mahir felt like pulling his hair seeing him next to Bela.

While they where walking to there car, Rehaan found something and immediately leaving Bela's hand rushed smiling wide getting something for Bela.

"Here", Rehaan said giving to Bela

"Oh my god, thank you Rehaan.. these are my favourite chocolates", Bela said hugging him

"I know, I used to instantly steal from you in our childhood", Rehaan laughed remembering those days

"I know right, and now you yourself bye it for me.. I just love you", Bela laughed

"What?", Mahir yelled

"What happened?", Bela asked confused

"You love him?", Mahir asked

"Shouldn't I?", Bela asked not understanding what he meant

"How can you love him Bela.. what about me?", Mahir asked worried

Bela gasped understanding what Mahir must have thought, she looked aside not knowing why Mahir is behaving this way. He still loved Anu, and she couldn't understand why he's acting like this with her lately.

"We need to leave", Bela said and moved away with Rehaan

"Did she move on from me already?", Mahir thought only hoping for it not to be true

"Bela.. this isn't done, we need to talk", Mahir screamed running to her

"Shh Mahir, stop shouting first.. we are in public", Bela whispered yelled at him

"I don't care where we are Bela, I need to clear few things with you that's it", Mahir said determined

"What is there to clear Mahir? What do you wanna talk about?", Bela asked

"About us", Mahir whispered

"Us? What's there between us?", Bela asked blankly

"You think there's nothing?", Mahir asked

"There was nothing, there is nothing.. I don't think there will be anything", Bela said

"There is nothing right?", Mahir asked raged

He pulled her cupping her face and smashed her soft lips with his rough ones making Bela widen her eyes not expecting this.

She tried pushing him but the soft touch of there lips in contact sent shivers down her spine when she unknowingly closed her eyes while her hands reached his hair clutching in her fist.

Mahir gave a winning smirk in between there kiss and continued to nibble her lips roughly unlike the soft or the gentle one they shared the couple of times before.

Mahir kept exploring her mouth throughout while Bela was only feeling him doing wonders over her lips with there bodied completely sticking to eachother.

It felt as if forgetting the whole world around them and all they could feel is just the lips of the other which felt serene that moment.

Tears rolled down Bela's eyes as if her mind was telling this is wrong while her heart was only feeling the wonderful moment.

Mahir softly wiped her tear with his thumb pad not willing to pull apart leaving her lips but slowly backed off when they felt short of breath.

He joined his forehead with Bela's while they could hear people hooting around them, but they cared least still breathing heavily while Mahir's one hand reached her waist.

Bela slowly opened her eyes and was flushed seeing everyone's eyes on her and she felt more embarrassed looking at Rehaan who had a smirk on his face.

She din't dare to look at Mahir, and turned around trying to run away from him, from the situation but stopped when she felt a hold on her hand.

She turned seeing Mahir hold her hand and looked up meeting his eyes which where probably longing for her.

She tried to get rid of her hand when Mahir held it tight pulling her towards him making her fall on his chest while he completed wrapped his arms around her waist.

He slowly moved her baby hairs falling on her face tucking it behind her ear and placed a soft kiss on her cheek making Bela freez in her place.

"Ma.. Mahir, leave me", Bela whispered softly

"Never Bela.. never after", Mahir whispered back in her ear and the mere touch of his lips on her earlobe made her fist her hand tightly

She closed her eyes when her cheeks turned red and Mahir smiled wide seeing her blush in the most cutest way.

"I can never leave you Bela", Mahir whispered again kissing her another cheek

And the whole crowd so far staring at there cute and hot moments kept hooting for them and Bela was feeling very conscious and shy such that she pushed Mahir with all her strength making him stumble on his steps.

"You can't push me away Bela.. if there's really nothing between us then I don't think you would kiss me back with the same passion", Mahir said softly

Bela widen her eyes at his words and looked here and there not knowing what to do, she looked away instantly and turned around and started walking when Mahir's words made her stop right at her place making her deep emotions rush suddenly making her heart go weak.

"I Love You Bela", Mahir shouted loud enough for everyone to hear
