The Only String Attached

And Mahira was laughing looking at the scene she made here.This girl is turning out very naughty,I wonder how Bela is dealing with her.

"Mahira say sorry",I said taking her in my arms.

"I know you..",she said hiding her face in my neck and started giggling.

I'm dead today!!!

"See we are sorry...so sorry.She won't do this again",I said and she clutched me tightly hiding her face in the crook of my neck.

"Mahira..see what I'm doing for you.Wait I will tell mumma about this",I said going towards the lift.

"Dadda no...Maiia lobbess you...dont say mumma",she said kissing my nose.

She very well knows how to melt my heart!!

"OK then,our secret",I winked at her and I was showered with her kisses now.

"Bela you home"?I asked when I came back with Mahira.

"Yes I'm.Take a shower and come both of you",she said shouting from kitchen.

We both got freshed up and sat like good students in front of her.But she was looking a bit off.

What's wrong with her?

"Bela...you OK?All good"?I asked.

"Ha..I'm..I'm fine..I'm good.Did she trouble anyone in the park today"?Bela asked looking at Mahira and Mahira was having her pista like a good girl.

"What?No..no..she is a good girl..why will she trouble anyone.She is a good girl.Right Mahira"?I said winking at her and Mahira giggled looking at me.

"OK good..um..Mahir..you got a file from your office today...just check it out once",she said fidgeting with her fingers.

"Ohh?Where is it"?I asked getting up.

"Um..ya..it's in your study room,have a look at it",she said.

I went to my study room and saw a file lying on the table.I already completed this file.Why is it here again?

I sat on my chair and opened the file,something fell when I opened the file.It was a pregnancy kit?

Pregnancy kit?

I took it and saw two pink lines on it...wait....wait..what?

Pregnancy kit?Two pink lines?

I checked through the file and my eyes landed on the last paper.Mrs.Bela Sehgal...positive...healthy...only these were the words that caught my attention.

What? Bela is..?She is pregnant?My Bela is pregnant?

The file fell from my hands and the pregnancy stick was still in my hand.I slumped on the chair holding it.Bela is pregnant.She is pregnant with my child.She is carrying my baby..our baby.

Oh my god!!Bela where are you?

I went to lobby and saw Mahira telling her about her day in the park.Bela was listening to her with a constant smile.I kept the stick and file in my drawer and went to them.

"Mahira baby..dadda will show you new rhymes today.Come with me",I said taking Mahira with me.

I made her sit on her chair and kept her rhymes in TV.That's it she forgot the world around her.

Bela was not meeting my eyes,she was looking tensed.Is she not happy?

No..she will be so happy..I know that!!

I went and sat beside her and I felt her eyes on me.

"Bela...you...you're pregnant"?I asked palming her face.
