"Bela..I can explain",I said.

"No..you can't..get away from me",she yelled.

I stood up and she stood up wiping her tears,
"Bela..please just hear me out.I can explain this",I said helding her shoulders.

"What will you explain Mahir?"she shouted jerking my hands away from her shoulders.

"Just look..look at the..look around",Bela sobbed.

I looked around and saw Mahira's toys scattered,her birthday cap crumbled,cake almost melting.And just like that...my heart melted too.

My Mahira!

"Where is Mahira?"I asked her.

"Forget about Mahira and please..please forget about me also.Oh..I'm sorry..I'm mistaken..I was forgotten first..yes..I was forgotten first",she said wiping her tears.

"Bela stop talking like that.How can I forget you and Mahria?It's nothing like that",I said.

"Just like you did all these months Mahir.Please..I can't bear this anymore..this isn't happening",she cried.

"Bela..this is enough.I'm fed up of this shit.I'm not having any fun staying away from you and my daughter.Stop accusing me like this",I snapped at her.

"You are just fed up of me bringing out this topic,but did you even think how fed up I am going through this?"she sobbed.

I sighed and closed my eye's,trying to not burst out.

"Bela,there was a fire accident in our presentation room.We..we had to submit the project tomorrow,but because of this accident..we did that today.It took time for getting resolved",I explained calmly.

"I never..never interfered in your work.I never asked about your timings and all..I was keeping up with patience..only to get this from you?"she asked.

"Do you even know how Mahira cries for you?Have you ever heard her crying for you?"she pushed me by my chest.

"She cries for you..for your love,for your solace.She cries for her fatherly love which she never got,do you even realize how will she feel,a small girl?"Bela kept pushing me and punching my chest with her fist.

"Bela..Bela calm down..listen to me",I tried helding her hands.

"Bela..see..look at my phone",I showed her my phone.

"I was in the office giving the presentation,take a look",I shouted throwing my phone across the wall in anger.

She was getting on my nerves now.

"I never asked what you were doing? Were you in office or somewhere else..trying to avoid me.All I wanted was some time with you,you being with me and Mahira",she sobbed.

"Somewhere else?What do you mean by somewhere else?"I asked,anger evident in my voice.

"You are doubting on me?You think..you think I'm cheating on you?"I shouted and she flinched.

"I didn't say that",she shouted back.

"Then what does this mean Bela?Tell me?"I yelled at her.

"You don't love me anymore Mahir,it's so evident",she sobbed and my anger was on.

How can she think something like that?

"Bela..what are these fights daily?I'm tired of it",I yelled.

"Fights?I am taking up fights with you,on purpose?"Bela yelled back.
