The Only String Attached

11

He already have someone in his heart. I cannot make place in his heart when he is having my own sister in his heart. I am not mad at him or Bani di for not telling me about their love. We three were in different situations.

I was madly and deeply in love with Mahir and Mahir was with Bani di.

Bani di herself was in confusion. I cannot blame them because even I din't tell Bani di about my love for Mahir.

It's like we three were in a fix.

Mahir had feelings for her and he told her. But I was late in confessing my feelings while he was a step ahead.

I don't know what he will ask me about all those matters. It's in the past. Why do they still care about it?

I was lost in my thoughts and heard Mahira crying. I turned towards her and started rocking her back to sleep. But she was no where near to sleep now resulting Mahir to wake up.

"Mahira...dadda got you baby. I'm here", telling that he laid her on his chest.

"It's fine Bela. You sleep, I will take care of her", he said cooing her.

"It's fine. I'm not sleepy", I said.

"Daddaa...Maiiaa...wants to pay", Mahira said grabbing her rabbit pillow and shoving it on Mahir's face.

I started giggling looking at them.

"Mahiraa..you are not well now love. You have to get some sleep", he said putting her rabbit pillow aside.

"Daddaa you bad...mumma Maiiaa wi pay", she said shifting towards me.

Thinks like my baby is having her mood swings now.

"Mumma..Maiia wants to pay", she said settling on me.

"Which game Mahira wants to play"? I asked settling her hairs to side.

"Maiiaa wants to pay wid rabbi", she said showing me her rabbit.

"Ok now the rabbit and Mahira will play bff's", I said hiding her rabbit behind me.

She started clapping her hands in excitement. 

"My god she is really so stubborn", Mahir said shaking his head in disbelief.

"Yes, just like you", I said giggling.

"Excuse me, you should not talk about stubbornness I guess"? he said looking at me.

"You are stubborn than anyone in this world", I said muffling my laughter.

"Same goes to you", he said.

"Mumma daddaa both are bad. Maiiaa iz angy", she said crossing her hands.

We looked at her and she was looking really angry.

"Mumma and dadda loves Mahira..", Mahir said taking Mahira to himself but she was protesting.

"Mahira..you should sleep now baby. It's not your play time", I said.

"Maiiaa knows youuuu", she said.

Knows you in her language means she hates it.

"Ok so Mahira is not sleeping, so mumma and dadda will sleep", Mahir said gaining her attention.

"Mahir she is already angry, don't make her more angry", I said.

"Shh...just play along with me Bela", he said.

Ok. Now what is he going to do?

"Come Bela, today we can sleep without Mahira in between us", he said moving close to me.

My lips parted at his words. What is he doing?

"Today mumma and dadda will sleep without Mahira", I said and looked at Mahira who was looking confused.

"Yes, we both can sleep peacefully", telling that Mahir took me in his embrace and wrapped his hand on me.

My body is numb now. From top to bottom it's not in my control. I was looking at him with my wide eyes.

"Just close your eyes and act along with me. She will get jealous" he whispered indicating Mahira.

I closed my eyes following his command. I'm having a butterfly park in my stomach now. The hair on my body raised with his touch. His hold on me was tight.

There was no reaction from Mahira. She was still sitting with her hands crossed. I looked at Mahir and gestured him to see Mahira. He glanced at her.

"If you don't mind...put...put your hand around me", he whispered.

He will be the death of me one day.

Hesitantly I wrapped my hands around him and he scooted me more closer.

As I closed my eyes Mahira jumped in between us and settled.

"Only Maiia hugs you", she said looking at Mahir.

Man. She was really jealous. Mahir grinned at her.

"It's ok, Mahira can play and we both will sleep", I said looking at her.

"No. You both ony hug Maiiaa", she said looking at me.

I and Mahir started laughing looking at her. 

"Maiiaa lobes you mumma", she said turning towards me.

"Aww.. I too love Mahira", I said kissing her.

"And me"? Mahir asked.

She was thinking for an answer and pecked his nose.

"Maiiaa kissii you daddaa", she said giggling.

"No love exchanges for dadda"? Mahir asked while tickling her.

Girls are always dadda's princess. She gets jealous looking at me and Mahir like that. It's first time we did something like this in front of her. She is not used to us like that. Of course I'm just her mumma but not her dadda's wife.

Soon Mahira slept after playing. Mahir was still awake and he was thinking something.

If the beans are spilled it has to be spilled properly. He needs to know the whole story. I cannot leave him with cliffhangers. But I need some time to gather the courage to tell him.

Yes Mahir! I will tell you about my feelings to you.
