The Only String Attached

15

"Come Mahir, let's go",I said and we took Mahira and went back to home.

Mahir was still angry. Mahira slept as she was tired.

I laid Mahira on the bed surrounding her with plenty of pillows. I saw Mahir going to balcony. He is looking disturbed.

He was standing there enjoying the view, I went and stood beside him.

"What happened Mahir"? I asked.

He dint answer.

I hesitantly kept my hand on his hand and asked again
"Mahir what's wrong"?

"You should start wearing your wedding chain even if you are in denims or casuals", he said.

I was taken aback. I wear it only when I wear a saree.

"Bela please don't think that I'm judging you, it's just that...", he dint complete.

Now my face was red hot. I could feel the heat radiating from my face.

"I will wear it regularly from now",I said blushing.

"I'm sorry if you feel I'm bossing you, but no one have a right to look at what's mine", he said.

My mouth was wide open and my jaw could hit the ground any second.

I can hear my own heartbeats now.

Even in the mall he addressed me as his wife.

God, he will be the death of me.

I just nodded, not knowing what to say.

We were standing there in silence, both not speaking a word.

"What were you buying in the men's clothing"? he asked.

"I...I..was buying something for dad",I said.

Actually I bought a black shirt for Mahir. I don't know when to give,but I will try to give him.

"Oh OK", he said.

"Did Mahira sleep without eating"? he asked.

"No she ate her food",I replied.

"OK", he said.

We had our dinner and Mahir was stealing glances from me.

I was doing the dishes and suddenly felt a hand on my shoulders.

MAHIR

"You scared me Mahir", she said putting her hand on her chest.

"I'm Sorry, I dint mean to scare you", I said.

I myself don't know why I came here.

"You want anything"? she asked.

"Um...no, I was...I was just... came to take water",I said.

I came out of the kitchen and went to balcony. She is pulling me like a magnet towards herself. I was just admiring her from the lobby and don't know when my legs started to move towards her.

God! Why am I behaving like this?

When I dint knew that she loved me,she was just looking like my friend. But now when I got to know about her love, I'm behaving like even I am getting affected.

I'm a hipocrite!

I'm developing feelings for her?

I need to talk to Vyom. I called him and he answered in the second ring.

"Hey buddy, how are you"? he asked.

"I'm confused",I said.

"What does that mean"? he asked.
