The Only String Attached

BELA

I blushed very hard when I saw myself in his tee.My face was glowing.

My hair and face never looked this good!!!

There were dozens of hickeys on my shoulder,neck,navel and many other parts too.

He loved me just like I did!!!

I was warming up the milk for Mahira and I remembered something.I ran to bedroom and changed the sheets immediately.

Mahir saw me changing the sheets.

It's done...how much will I embarrasse myself??

Like how many times??

"Bela it's OK,it's common.Don't feel embarrassed",he said kissing my cheeks.

I nodded my head and went to give milk to Mahira. She is whining a lot today.

"Mahira,come on have your mum",I said sitting beside her.

This girl is just leaning on the couch like a queen watching her rhymes,not wearing clothes,and not sparing a glance towards me.

Who started this rhymes early in the morning by the way?

"Mahira",I called her again and she looked at me.

"Have your mum baby,get up",I said and she sat straight.

She took the milk bottle and again leaned on the couch.She was helding her milk bottle with her legs and drinking it,watching the rhymes.

My god!!

Who thought her this habit?

"Mahira baby,sit properly and drink",I said making her sit properly.

She again leaned on the couch,drinking milk with her legs.

I narrowed my eyes at Mahir and he was looking scared.

"What is this Mahir? You thought her to drink milk like this?"I asked.

"Umm..that Bela..actually..yes.When we were in dad's house..she",he was smiling sheepishly.

"You are really hopeless Mahir.Is this the way children drink their milk.She is becoming naughty day by day,only because of you",I said huffing in anger.

No one can do anything with this father daughter duo!!

"Bela..it's OK,let her be.Let her be like she wants",Mahir said circling his arms around me.

"Teach her some good habits,if you can't,at least don't teach her bad habits",I said.

"She is so naughty...just like you",I said and he started laughing.

"My genes after all",he said winking.

"Mumma...fini",Mahira said throwing her bottle aside.

"Mahira..pick up the bottle",Mahir was trying to be stern.

But I know all his antiques!!!

"God just stop your acting,nothing can be done with you both",I said picking up the bottle.

They both were laughing looking at me.We three had our breakfast.Mahir and Mahira were playing with the ball in our lobby.

I was just looking at them playing,I was lost in them.

We heard a door bell and Mahir went to open it.

"Hello how can I help you?"I heard Mahir asking.

I went and saw Suhani standing.She came!!

"Suhani",I went running towards her and gave her a bone crushing hug.
