"Don't overthink about anything Bela..I'm always there with you,I won't leave you alone",he said kissing my forehead.

I rested my head on his chest,
"I'm sorry Mahir,I'm sorry for scaring you like this",I sobbed.

"You never scare me Bela...I was...you are fine now",he said.

"I want to go home Mahir...I want to see Mahira,she must be crying without me",I said.

"Bela relax,Mahira is fine..she had her food just now,we will leave in an hour,OK",he said.

I saw Mahira crying sitting on Yuvi's lap and Vish was trying her best to make her quite when we enterd our home.

"Mahira",I called her and she looked at me with her tear filled eyes.

"Mumma",she came running to me and hugged my legs.

"I'm here baby...mumma is here..I just went to meet dadu",I said taking her in my arms.

She can't be without me..she just can't.

"Mumma I lobee you,dadda Maiia lobess you",she said pecking my lips.

"Mahira see mumma is back baby,mumma needs rest...you go and play with Yuvi and Vish",Mahir said taking her from me.

"No mumma",she clutchted me more tightly.

"It's OK Mahir,let her be.Thanks guys..was she crying so much?"I asked.

"It's fine Bela,she started crying because she dint get her cookie today,just now Mahir bhai called and told me that it's her cookie time.We were about to give her and she started crying",Yuvi said.

"Yeah she cries when she doesn't get her cookie",I said smiling.

"She was searching for you in the whole house Bela,but she started crying suddenly",Vish said.

"It's OK,it's OK,Mahira come let's have your cookie",I said.

She was having her cookie resting her head on my chest and Mahir was caressing her hairs.

"I guess this girl can't stay without you at all,she can stay even without me but not without you",Mahir said kissing her forehead.

"Yeah..maybe",I said giggling.

"You are fine now Bela?"Vish asked.

"Ya I'm fine Vish,I was not just feeling well,I'm perfectly fine now",I said rubbing Mahira's back.

"Mumma..eat",Mahira said putting her cookie in front of my lips.

"Thank you baby, I'm fine..you have it",I said kissing her forehead.

"We will stay with you today Bela",Yuvi said.

"Hey it's OK Yuvi,I'm fine now.Mahir is there with me and I'm completely fine",I said.

They both left after some time and Mahira was playing with her dolls.

"Mahir how are you feeling now?"I asked checking his temperature.

"I'm fine Bela,the fever's gone.Just I need to take rest for sometime",he said.

Mallika didi prepared lunch,and we had our lunch feeding Mahira.

We three were sitting in our balcony taking a sunbath,the sun was in hibernation all these days.All were enjoying this today,I could see everyone's terrace filled with people.

"Dadda...see woody iz not paying wid me",Mahira said looking at Mahir.

"I will play with you Mahira,let woody rest",Mahir said putting her toys in box.
