The Only String Attached 2

BELA

I clutched the witness box tightly,tears spilling from my eye's.I can't dare to look straight up.I sniffed and wiped my tears and slowly looked straight.

Mahir!

Standing in opposite witness box with red puffy eye's,full grown beard,looking at me with hurt,anger and...love.

Love?

Love for me?

He is missing me when he realized what he lost and find himself destroyed!

I turned my gaze away from him.I can't look into his eye's for a long time,that pain will start eating me up again,pushing me into all bad memories.

Never in my life I expected that we both will be standing in opposite witness box,in a court.

"You both want to part ways with your own consent",the judge said and I looked at him with teary eye's.

Own consent?

He made me do it,he put me in this situation!

"According to mutual consent,Section 13B you both have to live together for six months and sort out your differences in the mean time.And if still after six months you both want to part ways,we will grant you divorce",the judge said.

We are already divorced,emotionally!

All the time my vision was only on Mahir who was looking at me,tears flowing,realizing his mistakes.

Maybe or maybe not!

"And as a mother,I want to give you an advice",the judge said and I looked at her.

"You both have a daughter..her age one year?"the judge asked.

"Fifteen months old",Mahir said looking at Mahira.

I looked at Mahira who was sleeping in my mom's embrace.My heart pained looking at her,I sniffed and wiped my tears.

"Yes",I said nodding my head.

"I feel there is a lot of love in between you both and considering your daughter,you both want to fight for her custody?"the judge asked.

Mahir looked at me with the same love,when we first met.

Fight for our daughter's custody?

Mahira's custody?

Mahir wiped his tears and looked at Mahira once again.I felt anger raising inside me,
"No..my daughter will not go through this custody and all",I said coldly.

"I will not give my daughter to anyone",Mahir said gritting his teeth.

We both were boring holes at each other,anger evident on our face!

Once upon a time,we used to look at each other with lot's of love!

"And that's why as a parent I'm advising you both.Sort out your differences atleast for the sake of your daughter.You both have six months with you and you both should live together",the judge said.

It's been three months since we both parted our ways,with a full blown fight in between us!

"The court is adjoined for the next session",the judge said and I wiped my tears.

Everyone were leaving,I and Mahir were still standing in the witness box,looking at each other with pain and guilt.

This wouldn't come till here if you were right in your place Mahir.

I'm meeting him after three month's and the emotions running within my body after seeing him is something which I can't explain.And he won't understand even if I explain it.
