The Only String Attached

15

"I don't know Vyom, from the moment I got to know about Bela's love for me it's...it's paining",I said.

"Paining because you started to love her"? he asked chuckling.

"I dint say that I love her",I said.

"You even dint say that you don't love her",he retorted

He have a point.

"I dint mean that",I said irritated.

"Then are you showing pity on her now"? he asked.

"You ass. No I'm not showing pity on her but..but..I...I don't know",I said.

"Can I tell you something Mahir"? he asked.

"That's why I called you, now tell",I said.

"You ass, you are in love with her", he said.

No. How can I ?

"I love Bani",I said.

"Are you reminding that to yourself Mahir"? he asked.

Now I dint answer.

"Mahir just listen to me, sit calmly and think, listen to your heart. You will get your answers", he said.

"OK...OK..I will try",I said.

"Not trying idiot. Just sit lonely for sometime and think", he said.

"OK bye",I said and hanged up his call.

Am I really in love with her?

Why is it troubling me this much? My best friend loving me? My wife's sister loving me?

No.  I'm her friend first, then only all those tags.

But I need to know about her life more in detail. I can't listen to the half pain of hers, I need to know everything.

I'm not judging her but,I need to know. Then only I can understand her.

I went to the lobby and saw she was working on her system.

"Bela are you still taking the sleeping pills"? I asked.

"Not..not every time but sometimes when I feel scared and... and lonely"she said.

"No need to take them from now onwards, I will sleep with you and Mahira",I said.

"Why"? she asked.

"Because I care for you",I said.

"Are you showing pity on me Mahir"? she asked.

"God Bela no. I really care for you", I said.

"You are angry on me right"? she asked.

"Bela, no. I heard even your side of story, so I can't be angry on you",I said catching her hand.

"I know Bela, you may think that I'm saying all this because I heard your story. But no. I still care for you, just my anger took over me these years",I said.

"Talk something Bela", I said.

"I'm feeling sleepy", she said.

"OK come,let's sleep",I said.

We locked all the doors and went to her room. Mahira was between us, wrapped around our hands.

My arms were brushing against hers.

"Bela",I called her.

"Hmm", she replied.

"Do you trust me"?I asked.

"Of course I do Mahir", she said.

"I will ask you something which you don't like to share, will you tell me"?I asked.

"Yes..I..I.. will", she said.

"How did you live in London these two years"?I asked.

She dint answer,but still she was looking at me.

"I..I. will tell you tomorrow, Mahira will go with our dad's right? We can talk tomorrow", she said.

Yeah tomorrow Mahira is going with their grandparents to my dad's home. We can get some time to talk.

"OK but promise me you won't leave this topic again",I said.

"No I will not. I will tell you each and everything in detail", she said confidently.

I guess she is ready to tell.

"Good night Mahir", she said.

"Good night Bela",I said and scooted close towards them.

I dozed off thinking about tomorrow's consequences.
