The Only String Attached

But Mahira clutched my collar not leaving me.

"Mahira let dadda go baby", Bela said detaching her from me.

"You go Mahir. I can take care",she said.

Mahira was still crying looking at me. I looked at Bela and nodded. I left feeling sad for Mahira. I need to compensate to her.

I reached my office and hurried to attend the meeting.

"I don't understand what is the problem in that NY branch", I said to my secretary.

"Sir the accounts are clear but still it's showing some errors", he said.

"Just call that branch manager",I said feeling irritated.

I need to take this in my hands now.

"Fine book my tickets for NY the next week. I will take it into my hands now",I said.

"Sir..",my secratery said.

"What? I will go and clear all the files and useless employees over there",I said.

"Calm down Mahir bhai",Yuvi said.

I glared at him.

"I'm leaving to NY next week",I said picking up my stuff.

"Leaving Bela and Mahira alone"? Yuvi asked.

"The fuck should I do then"?I yelled.

"Language Mahir",my dad warned.

"I'm sorry dad",I said and went to my cabin.

I was feeling irritated. These people cannot handle one thing without me. I need to go to NY next week.

I need to go for a week. How can I be without Mahira and her?

Of course I stayed without her for two years. But now it's different. I'm not able to think straight without her.

I video called Bela. She picked up at second ring.

"Uhh..Bela.. where is Mahira"?I asked.

"Ya she is sleeping",telling that she showed me Mahira's sleeping form.

"Oh OK",I said.

"Did she cry too much after I left"?I asked.

"Ya she did,but she was fine after sometime", she said.

"Bela I'm sorry about yesterday. It's not like I don't trust you,it's just my anger issues...",I couldn't complete.

"It's fine Mahir. I'm sorry,I will be careful from next time", she said.

"Oh cut the crap Bela. It's not your mistake. I should have listened to you. I'm so sorry. I'm feeling very shameful for what I did",I said.

She was silent. I know she cannot forgive me that easily in this matter.

"I need to tell you something important when I come home",I said.

"OK. Take care Mahir", she said and cut the call.

I kept my phone aside and rubbed my eyes.

"Trouble in the house Mahir bhai"? Yuvi asked.

I looked at him and told him what I did.

"You stay here bhai,I can go in place of you. Bela needs you now",Yuvi said.

"No Yuvi,I should go. It will become stable only if I take it into my hands",I said.

"I will tell Bela about what I feel for her after coming from NY",I said.

"You're in love", he said wiggling his eyebrows.
