The Only String Attached

23

I took few dresses for Mahira. I know Bela told that Suhani is sending her dresses. But still I wanted to buy some for her. I took latest perfume for Vish.

Ohh she is a perfume lover. I don't know what to take for Bela. She loves chocolate's,but she is not a baby to eat.

But I took so many chocolate's. Mahira is a chocolate lover and Bela too.

I was passing by a mall and I saw a dress on maniquine. Bela was the first person to come in my mind after looking at it.

It was a red color maxi dress, the color which I like on her. I brought it immidietly. She will look like an angel in this.

I already ordered a pearl necklace for her over there. It's safe in my locker. I will give her on Mahira's birthday.

Not to forget,I took so many toys for my little devil. She is giving a hard time to her poor toys over there I guess?

My genes after all.

I was packing my bags and Bela's dad came.

"Did you buy the whole mall"? he asked laughing.

"No uncle, just few things for Mahira",I said.

"Oh they are plenty things young man", he said.

He was right. Some toys were not fitting in my bag too. He told that he will get them when he returns.

"OK Mahir, have a safe journey and take care", he said giving me a hug.

"You too uncle. Don't stress yourself so much on that work. Try to come soon",I said.

"Ya sure son. And yeah I dint answer my daughter's call, so that you can surprise her", he said.

"Yes I will surprise your daughter and my daughter too",I said smiling.

"Are you going to convey your feelings for her"? he asked with a hope.

"I...I don't know uncle. But I will tell her soon. I'm sure about my feelings,but something...something like guilt is stopping me to do so",I said.

"I'm sure you will come out of that guilt once you reach there and read Bani's journal.

Wait! What?

"You know about Bani's journal"?I asked.

"That's not important here Mahir. Just follow your heart,not your mind", he said.

I nodded feeling confused. I was a spider stuck in it's own web.

"The last call Mahir. Now go and call me on my princess birthday",he said after the last call of my name.

"OK bye uncle. Take care. I will call you after landing",I said and left.

"Just few hours and I will see you my loves",I said kissing their picture.

These flight journeys are really pain in the ass. And to NY is really exhausting. I was in the cab on my way to home. I have a spare key, so that I cannot disturb them in this mid night.

It's  one in the night. It's my Mahira's birthday.

One year since she came into my life. At times she was the only reason I was alive. She was the only ray of hope in my life. But it took a complete u turn in this one year.

Friendship to hatred,hatred to missing,missing to hatred, and finally hatred to love.

I never knew I would fall in love with my best friend,my wife's sister.

She was only my wife's sister and Mahira's mother that time. But things changed now.

She is my wife. My love!
