The Only String Attached 2

"It's better we part ways instead of these fights daily",I shouted banging my hand on the table.

"Wha..what did you say?"she asked in disbelief.

"Bela..no..I..I didn't mean that..listen to me...",
"No..you just said it...you..you said it",she sobbed.

"Bela..no..listen to me once",I stepped towards her.

"You are right..you are tired of these fights daily and I'm sick of them.We..we should part ways..as you want",she cried stepping back.

BELA

"Bela..I didn't mean what I said..it just slipped..it's nothing like that",Mahir said coming towards me.

"The words coming from your heart comes out from your mouth",I said weakly.

"Bela...I really love you,why are you doubting that?"he asked me calmly.

"Where is that love?I can't see it..I can't feel it..where is it?"I yelled,wiping my tears.

"Bela I accept I was drowned in work,but that doesn't mean I stopped loving you,stopped loving Mahira",he said,trying to control his anger.

"So much work that you forgot about me Mahir?Have you ever asked me about how are you feeling?In all these months?"I sobbed.

"No..you never did.Because all you needed was your work,your project,your office.I sacrificed my carrier Mahir",I sobbed helding his collar.

"I didn't force you to sacrifice your carrier,it was your choice Bela,for Mahira.Don't try to blame me in this",he said gritting his teeth.

"And here also you are finding such excuses?Blame game?This is looking like a joke to you?"I yelled and he yanked my hands away from his collar.

"Don't you dare talk to me like this Bela",he warned me,breaking my heart.

"I was busy in work,we need to sacrifice few things to get successful.And I sacrificed my time,that's it",he said,trying to calm himself down.

"No..you sacrificed me and Mahira..you sacrificed us",I shouted and went to our room.

"Bela..stop",he walked behind me.

I  was crying sitting near Mahira's crib,he walked to me,
"Bela..I would never do that,you are taking it wrong",he said.

"Get away from me",I shouted.

"What's your fucking problem Bela?I should give you time leaving my work?I should always sit with you in home and chill?"he shouted helding my shoulders tightly and I felt a huge pang in my heart.

"This is how you think Mahir...this..this is who you are",I said in a defeated tone.

"I and Mahira..Mahira..she cried for you a million times.She needed you,I needed you.She needed you when she was not well,she needed you to comfort her.I needed you to comfort me when she was not well...and this is how you think?"I sobbed.

This is not the Mahir I fell in love with!

He was still seething with anger,he isn't processing what I'm talking about.

"Do you even remember Mahir?When was the last time you took me in your embrace,comforted me..slept with me?"I asked feeling hurt,wiping my flowing tears.

"You just want to sleep with me right?Come on..come here",he said grabbing my hand and walked towards our bed,yanking me on the bed like a sac.
