Khairiyat ~ A Behir Story

Part 11

Behir took blessings from the priest and leaves the temple....

Mahir: bela ...tum chal paogi na aur I should pick u again ....

Bela: no...no ....aapne jo dawai lagai thi na usse ab dard kam hai ....now I can walk ...

Mahir: Hold my hand ....the way ahead is rocky...kahi tumhe chalne me problem na ho  .....

He holds Bela's hand ....

They were walking keeping hands in hands ...

Bela: Mahir .....Hum almost 1 ghante se chal rahe hai ...itna time to hume car se mandir pahunche me bhi nahi laga tha ...are u sure ke hum sahi raaste pe hai??

Mahir: wahi to mai bhi soch raha hu ....hum shayad raasta bhatak gaye hai....

Bela: ab hum kya kare??

Suddenly it starts raining ....

Mahir: oh no!! Ise bhi abhi aana tha ....

They quickly run away  into the nearby bamboo hut .....

They both were drenched....

He thought that he should call his mom and tell her about their whereabouts but no network was available..

Mahir: aaj hi ye sab hona tha ...phle raasta bhatak gaye aur ab network nahi hai ...Maa chinta kar rahi hogi ....Bela tumhare phone me network hai kya??

He turned back but didn't find Bela ....

He looked here and there...

Than his eyes fell on Bela who was dancing and enjoying the rain....

Unknowingly a smile came on his face ....seeing Bela like this....

He was just adoring her ....

Mahir: How beautiful she is looking...♥️
Bani also used to dance in the rain like this .....

After some time ....the rain stopped....

Bela came back to the hut ....

Bela : I am sorry ...woh kya haina ...bachpan se hi mujhe barish me bheegna bahut pasand hai ....

Mahir: it's fine....but look at yourself ...u are all drenched ....

Bela sneezed ....

Mahir: aur ab to sardi bhi ho gai ....
Wait mai bonfire jalata hu ....tumhe acha bhi lagega and your clothes will also dry ...uske bad hum chalenge .....

Bela: but kuch hi der me raat ho jaayegi .....

Mahir: Ha...but hum yaha bhi nhi ruk sakte ....I mean yahan wild animals bahut hai ...

After 2 hours ....

It was almost dark ....

Bela: chale Mahir ....

Mahir: yaa ...let's go ...

Bela: but  I am hungry ....

Mahir: sorry ....sorry ...mai bhi kitna pagal hu ....tumse kuch khane ke liye nahi pucha ...
Chalo raaste me kuch fruits mil jayenge ...we will it them ....

Bela: fine ....

They both were walking in the jungle all alone ....

Bela was holding Mahir's hand tightly as she was scared .....

She felt some moment near her feet  .....

Bela: Aah !! Aaah!! Saanp....Mahir bachao ....

She hugged him tightly .....

Mahir: kya hua Bela??

Bela: abhi abhi ek saanp gaya mere per ke paas se...

She embraces him more tightly  ...

After few moments she was quite relaxed ...
She backs off ...

Mahir: are u ok now??

Bela: yeah!! ...
Thank u ...

After roaming in the jungle for about 2 to 4 hours....
They finally found the road ....

Mahir: are waah ....finally hum pahunch gaye....

Let's go Bela ...mom tension me hogi bahut ....

Bela: Mahir ...I want to say something ....

Mahir: Ha bolo ....

Bela: I know ke ye shaadi humari marzi ke khilaf hui thi ....aur shayad humne jo kia wo theek nahi tha ....agar hum iss rishte ko apne upar burden samajhenge to hum dono hi chain se nahi jee paayenge...

Mahir: you're right...so iska solution kya hai??

Bela: hum husband wife ki tarah na sahi lekin dost banke to reh sakte hai na ....we both need a friend in our lives ...so kyu na hum dono ek dusre ke friend ban jaaye....aap soch rahe honge ke mai aisa kyu keh rahi ho?? Wo sirf iss liye taki hum apni life waise hi jeete rahe jaise jee rahe the naki kisi burden me reh ke jiye ....
Trust me isse hum dono ki life aasan ho jayegi ....

Mahir stood silent and after few seconds he spoke..

He forwarded his hands towards Bela ...

Mahir: mujhse dosti karoge!!

Bela smiled and accepts his friendship ....

So Behir are now friends....
