The 'Un' Attached String

Chapter - 28

[Present]

After Maahir took Anu with him to talk with her, Bela took Bulbul away with her and then asked her to stay nearby and not to roam here and there. When Bulbul left, Bela who was already jealous and irritated over the fact that Maahir took Anu with her and so she decided after a long time to have some drink. She walked up to the bar and asked the bar tender to pour some whiskey for her, without soda. While the man was making her drink, she remembered the way Maahir was taking to Anu as if he was clarifying himself to her for the crime he committed by staying with his legally wedded wife and biological daughter which was the most disturbing thing for her. While she was thinking about that, the bar tender served her drink and she was so frustrated that she emptied it in one single shot. Reyhaan, on the other side, had been constantly keeping an eye on Bela from the moment, she came there. It was not that he was trying to talk to her or anything of that sort, but he was eyeing her like a psychopath and everytime, he was looking at her, he touched his cheek as he remembered when Maahir had punched him right on his face on the sangeet of Suhaani and also when Bela straight away rejected to marry him in front of the whole family that day. He had a glass of drink in his hand which he swallowed and took another one from the tray, the waitors were carrying and then staring in the same way at Bela, said, "You didn't do it right baby! Tumhe is tarah se sabke saamne mujhe reject nehi karna chahiye tha aur tumhaare pati ko to bilkul bhi mujhpar haath nehi uthaana chahiye tha. I have wasted quite a lot of time on you. Sabko lagta hai that I love you a lot but sach ye bilkul bhi nehi hai. Agar baat tumhaare property ki nehi hoti na jaaneman to tumhaari jaisi separated aur ek bachchi ma ke saath mere jaisa eligible bachelor time pass bhi na kare, shaadi to bohot dur ki baat hai aur se tumhaari beti, bachchi kam bandit queen zyaada hai. Par sab kuch maine tumhaare liye jhel liya kyuki ho to tum sone ka anda dene waali murgi, The Ranjit Sareen jaise multi millionaire ki ek lauti beti, saari property ki ek lauti waaris. But you don't worry kyuki Reyhaan Khurana ne kabhi bhi haarna nehi seekha hai, jo uska hai vo usko milta hi hai, pyar se na sahi to kisi aur tareeke se hi sahi. You are mine Bela darling and you will be mine!" He emptied that glass of drink as well and then gave an evil grin to Bela. He took out something from his pocket and smiled in an evil way and walked towards the bar where Bela was sitting and already had three glasses of whiskey. He sat beside her when Bela ordered another glass and seeing that Reyhaan asked, "Aur kitna peeogi Bela?" Bela looked towards him angrily and Reyhaan understood that Bela had already started getting intoxicated and looking at him, she replied, "Tumse matlab? Tumhaare paise se pee rahi hu kya? Meri marzi mein jo chahe karungi." The bar tender gave Bela a glass which Bela was about to take when Reyhaan held the glass and very smartly slipped something into it and then said, "Aur mat peeyo Bela, already tumko nasha ho chuka hai. Stop it!" Bela angrily removed his hand and then in a full intoxicated manner, said, "Tum hote kaun ho mujhe rokne waale, ha?? Tum mere pati ho? Ha pati se yaad aaya, vo..." She pointed in an anonymous direction and continued, "Vo... jo hai na... jo apne aap ko mera legal, kaagaz waala pati kehta hai, kaagaz mein hi sahi pati to hai, usko bilkul bhi sharam nehi hai. No!!!" She shook her head to and fro vigorously and then took one sip to her drink and said, "Main uski biwi hu, Mrs. Sehgal, the official one aur uski ek lauti beti ki ma lekin meri koi izzat nehi hai uski nazar mein. Mere saamne us Anu, us daayan jaisi dikhne waali chudail se aise baat kar raha tha jaise biwi main nehi vo hai aur jaise vo mere saath reh kar koi crime kar raha hai. What am I his bluddy mistress? Main kya uske saath rehne ke liye mari ja rahi hu? Par reh rahi hu na... Mere saamne usko lekar chala gaya, kyu? Kaun lagti hai vo uski? Mujhe bura nehi lagta? Ye baat usko samajh mein nehi aati? Kaisa pati hai vo?" Hearing that, Reyhaan made a fist as she was still talking and thinking about Maahir and he said, "Vo to hamesha se aisa hi tha, he cheated you aur isiliye to tumne usko choda tha." Bela emptied the glass in her hand and put it on the table of the bar and said, "Yehi baat koi nehi samajhta ke usne mujhe cheat kiya hai, sabko lagta hai ke meri galti hai, maine usko choda, mujhe uska saath dena chahiye tha jaise is chipkali ne diya. Par koi mera dukh nehi dekhta, kisiko meri pari hi nehi hai, agar Bulbul na hoti to main kabka apne aap ko khatam kar chuki hoti. Apne ghar ke terrace se maine kadam bhi baraaya tha lekin tab mujhe yaad aaya I'm not alone, mere andar to mera bachcha hai, I just could not." She slowly started speaking her heart out, "Main na Maahir ko kitna pyar karti hu, abhi bhi karti hu, bohot saara karti hu par koi samajhta hi nehi, Maahir bhi nehi. Mera na hamesha mann karta hai, abhi bhi kar raha hai ke sabke saamne jaakar usko bolu, Maahir, I love you, tumhaare bina rehne mein mujhe bohot pain hota hai, par pata nehi kyu bol hi nehi paati, kuch rok leta hai andar se. Mera mann karta hai main usko jaakar bolu ke mujhe past ka kuch yaad hi nehi rakhna hai, I wanna forget everything and I wanna stay with you kyuki jabse main tumse waapas se mili hu na, mera dil hi nehi karta yaha se jaane ka. Mujhe sirf 6 mahine nehi, mujhe tumhaare saath puri zindagi bitaani hai. Main, tum aur Bulbul happy family ki tarah, tum usko bigaarna, main usko sudhaarungi aur phir tum mujhe bhi spoil karna. Sab uske pain ke baare mein sochte hai, main jataati nehi hu to kya mujhe pain nehi hota? Mujhe jealous nehi hota usko kisi aur ke saath dekhne par?" Reyhaan got to know for the first time about the depth of Bela's love for Maahir, since the time he was with her and then shocking Reyhaan, she got up and said, "Is Anu chudail ki bachchi ko aaj main to sabak seekhaaungi!" She was about to get up when suddenly she found everything spinning in front of her eyes and she was about to trip, when Reyhaan caught her and he gave an evil smile thinking that everything was going according to the plan and the right time had arrived to carry out his plan. He held Bela properly and then said, "Chalo main tumko le kar chalta hu!" and then he didn't wait for Bela's consent and took her along with him towards the lift.
