The Only String Attached

26

This got tears in my eyes. My little sister still cares about my happiness.

Now it's enough,I need my dad to answer. I started hating Bela for no reason. I can't hate her just like that. Some where I could feel that Bela left because of us.

I need to know it.I can't hate her and doubt Mahir's love for me.

I'm already guilty that I doubted Mahir's love towards me and my baby. I can't doubt him more without knowing the actual story.

I need to know it!

"Take care my baby. Should I come around this month ending"?I heard my dad asking.

"OK Bela. Take care and please call me when you want to talk",my dad said and he hanged up.

His face was drained out of colors when he saw me. He was sweating profusely.

"Bani"?my dad said looking at me.

'I'm caught'that expression was there on his face.

"How are you my baby? When did you come"?he behaved normally.

OK first,I need to tell him about me.

"Dad I want to...I...want to say something",I said.

"What is it Bani"?he asked being worried.

"Dad I...I... I'm pregnant",I said.

His face became normal now. He was feeling relaxed.

He took me in a hug,he was happy. So happy.

"Really? My Bani is going to become a mother"?he caressed me.

"Yes dad, and you are going to be a grandfather soon",I said kissing him.

His happiness had knew no bounds just like us. But I need to talk to him a lot today.

"I'm so happy for you Bani. I'm so happy. You deserve all happiness",he said kissing my cheeks.

"Dad I need to ask you  something",I said.

"What is it Bani"?he asked.

"Are you in touch with Bela"?I asked.

He was trying to look for an answer. But he couldn't speak when I uttered the next sentence.

"If you are in touch with her, tell her to stay out of mine and Mahir's life",I said.

I was guilty even while uttering those words.

I dint knew how I uttered those filthy words from my mouth that time.I was not thinking like her sister. I was thinking like your wife that time Mahir.

I'm sorry Mahir!I dint knew how I grew these many insecurities within me,doubting your love,putting Bela away from us.

I just don't know!

"What? What did you say"?my dad asked.

"I..I said that if you are in touch with her....tell her to stay...away from me and...and Mahir",I said.

"Yes I'm in touch with her. Tell me why should she stay away from you and Mahir", he asked with anger.

"I...I don't know why she left from here,but I feel like I will loose Mahir if she will be back.I..I don't want to loose my family because of her",I said looking away.

"Bani.....you took care of Bela like she was your child right? Why are you suddenly feeling like this, and you are doubting Mahir's love"?he asked.

"Dad no... I'm.. I'm not doubting anyone's love. I love Mahir and I love Bela too....",he cut me off in the middle.

"You used to call me daily to ask weather did I know anything about her right? And now you don't want her to come back"?my dad asked.

"Dad I'm feeling like Mahir loved Bela also. I dont know about Bela,but if Bela comes back I....I feel like I will loose Mahir forever",I sobbed.

"Oh! So now you think that Mahir is cheating on you"?he asked with disbelief.

"What? Dad no. I can't think like that. It's not what you are thinking.I don't know why Bela left,but Mahir was in pain from the day she left. I could sense his love for her",I said.

"They were best friends back then,friendship is the first step towards love. If Bela comes back...it will be end of me. I will loose Mahir. Mahir will fall for her again",I sobbed.

"You think that Mahir will leave you even after knowing that you are bearing his child"?my dad asked.

"This child is the only reason we are together I think,if I would not be pregnant... I'm sure Mahir would still search for Bela.And if she comes back....I will loose him",I said crying.

"So you are thinking that Mahir also loved Bela? And you think Bela is a home wrecker"? he asked.

"Dad..I..I dint mean that...I was telling that...",he cut me off again.

"Now you feel like Bela is the reason you people were unhappy all these days. You don't know why she left but you don't want her to come back? You don't want her to spoil your happy family",my dad was telling.

OK he was taking it too far. He is getting all wrong.

"You know what?Bela gifted you this happy family to you. You are having a happy family because of her. Your husband,your in laws... all,she gifted you this family", he spatted with anger.

"What do you mean by she gifted me? Why will she gift it to me"?I asked feeling confused.

"You are now leading a happy life because she left. She left for your happiness", he said.

"She left for my happiness? How"?I asked feeling low.

"She loved Mahir",he said.

My mind was numb.I couldn't believe it. I was feeling like the earth was spinning around me and I blacked out.

I threw the book with full anger at somewhere in my room. My face was radiating heat due to my anger.

How can she think about her own sister like that? She loved me, then how could she think like that about me?

"Why Bani? Why? You thought that I would cheat you over Bela? And you accused her for my behavior"?I punched the wall with my fist.

I dint expect this coming. Bela is innocent. She don't know anything. And I hated her all these years for no reason.

I went to Bela's room running. I saw Mahira sleeping in her crib peacefully. I kissed her and went to bed.

I saw Bela  sleeping snuggled into her self. Tears started pouring from my eyes when I looked at her.

She went through a lot of pain for us. And what did Bani think?

I settled beside her getting into the covers. I hugged her to my chest and started sobbing. She almost ended her life for me.

I can't stay away from her anymore. She snuggled into me hugging me tight.

I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes to get some sleep.
