The Only String Attached

INTERVIEW

Bela bites her lower lip fidgeting with her fingers,forcing a smile on her face.

Writer clears her throat to gain their attention.

Shreya:Mahira baby..hi..I'm your writer,would you like to answer some questions for our readers.I will give you a tub of chocolate ice cream.

'Chocolate ice cream'was the only word which got into Mahira and she beemed looking at the writer.

Shreya:OK Mahira baby..do you like your dadda or mumma more?Mumma or dadda?

Behir giggled hearing at this and Mahira was looking in between Mahir and Bela.

Mahira kissed Mahir's nose and then kissed Bela's nose too.

Mahira:Mumma dadda Maiia
She said giggling in between them.

All the three members had a family hug and Mahira looked at the writer showing her insicors.

Shreya:Aww...it reminded me of my childhood.I was just like Mahira.But not like you Mahir.

Writer looks at them with 'aww'.Bela laughed out loud after listening to writers words about Mahir.

Shreya:OK next one for Bela.Ughmm..Bela I guess this is going to be a hypothetical question for you.Try not to dodge it.

Bela is surprised that what it must be.While writer too personally wanted to ask this question to her.

Shreya:Whom do you love more?Mahira or Mahir?

Mahir moves close to Bela,circling his hand around her shoulder,expecting an answer from her.

Bela:Well it is a hypothetical question indeed.See I love both of them..I can't compare it.One is like oxygen and one is like water to me.We can't survive without both of them. And same goes with me.

Shreya:Very well answered Bela,I just love you,I'm impressed.I just don't want someone to get jealous even on this.

Writer huffs pointing at Mahir.

Mahir:My wife,my daughter,my jealousy..what's bothering you miss writer?
Mahir asked kissing Bela's forehead.

Shreya:I..I'm still here.I'm a teenager,that doesn't mean I can tolerate PDA.
The writer closes her eyes with her hands and Mahira crawled towards her.

The writer picked a candy from her pocket and gave it to Mahira.Mahira climbed and settled on her lap.

Shreya:OK so next question for Mahir. I will ask you two questions and you can pick up one and answer.
1)If by chance by god's grace Bani returns into your life...how would it affect your life's?
2)If you have a power to get the dead ones back,would it be your mom or Bani?

Mahir looks at the writer as if he saw an alieanated species.Writer shows him the paper.

Mahir:We are not living in a supernatural era.The questions should make some sense.

Shreya:And that's why I added 'if'.I guess you know what 'if'means right?

Bela tries to muffle her laughter and Mahira is already laughing clapping her hands.

Mahir:Fine the second one!!

Shreya:OK,go for it.

Mahir:I love both of them equally,one person gave birth to me and the other person gave birth to my child.Bani had a short glimpse of Mahira,but my mom dint.My mom always wanted to hold her grandchildren,and if I get a chance to complete her wish,I would go for my mom.
