Bela's POV
I held Kabeer's arms wrapping mine around it and walked past him exiting the shop.
I know my words have hurted him and so did my actions but these are nothing infront of what he did to me .
Only I know how I controlled myself from breaking down infront of him.
Crying infront of him will make him think that I'm weak which I'm not. If he thinks that he'll again hurt me then he's highly mistake.
I won't let him come near me ! I won't just let it happen.
He has killed the old Bela and this Bela Sharma is someone who doesn't care about anything and anyone anymore.
I will do every possible thing which will hurt him. I won't leave a chance to show him that with whom he has messed. Whom he have betrayed. I promise I'll make him regret even meeting me again!
I swear!
" Bela? " Kabeer's voice broke my trance and I looked at him blinking.
" Yeah?" I asked turning towards him.
" There was no plan of engagement party. We decided we would just exchange rings on the wedding day itself then what was that inside?" He asked confused.
" See Kabeer.. ab jab Shadi kar he rahe hai then let's do it properly. Last time meri shadi hote hote ruk gayi to which I'm glad kyunki mujhe Mahir jaise insan ke sath shadi karke then life time pachtana nahi tha... Par ab jab meri shadi ho rahi hai finally woh v appse toh sab rasme sahi se karte hai na? And this time we have this so special guest to witness everything. He'll see usne kya khoya hai... He'll see ki ek idle fiance, ek idle husband hota kya hai!" I said looking at him seriously. I meant every word I said. He'll regret cheating on me. I'll make sure he does.
" Agar aap keh rahi hai then I'm more than happy to do it. Main Ani maa ko inform karta hu then we'll leave for your bakery?" He asked and I nodded smiling as he walked some steps ahead to talk with Ani maa.
You'll see Mahir ji... You'll see me moving on.. main koi bechari nahi hu jo heartbreak ke baad yun hi roti rahe... Waha app maje se hai na toh ab app meri khushi dekhenge.
I know meri khushi he appki life ki sabse badi problem hai. Toh ab app dekhenge mujhe agey barte huye. Mujhe khush hote huye.
Tum yeh engagement apne khushi ke liye kar rahi ho ya usey dikhane ke liye?
My own conscience asked me and for a moment I didn't have any answer to this question.
Engagement is a big thing Bela. Agar tum yeh sab sirf usey dikhane ke liye kar rahi ho then you're pathetically wrong this time.
Kabeer walked towards me all smiling and held my hand.
" All the arrangements have started. We are getting engaged today. Happy now?" He asked palming my cheeks when my eyes landed on Mahir who was looking at us from a distance.
" Very happy.. thankyou so much Kabeer!" I said pressing on his hands and then hugging him.
I saw Mahir's expressions changing from straight to angry. And that's what I want. I smirked internally and with that we left from there.
.

I sat on the bed wearing my engagement dress. I was ready for the engagement.
But only physically.
I am not ready mentally to make the official promise. I know I was the one to say yes for this wedding but was I really ok with it?
Mahir might have faked love but I really loved him alot. May be some part of me still loves him. Kabeer is just my very close friend who is my only family left now. He came up as my savior when I thought I'll never be alive again!
FLASHBACK
I sat in middle of the road blankly. I had nothing left inside me. If I would go back I would have to face him which was the last thing I wished to do. I couldn't be the reason for his family to hate him. Definitely if I'll be infront of their eyes then they'll never be able to forgive him which I don't want.
He might haven't live me ever.
I know he cheated on me but I still love him. And all I can wish is for his good!
Siya maa , Anu , Dad , Bhai , Priya everyone is his second family I can't snatch them away from him by going back to them. About Sania ..
I gulped the lump formed in my throat.
She deserves a future too. And I know she and Yuvi has a thing which is serious and because of me I can't spoil that. About Vish she's strong and she has to be beside Sania when I'm not there to protect her from every evil eyes.
I have really no one left to return for.
My whole love life was lie .
He cheated on me . With that Kaira.
May be I just didn't deserve him.. this family.. them...
And that was it for me. I'll leave from here so far that they'll forget if I was ever there in their lives. That's the best for them.
Wiping my tears I was getting up when all of a sudden a truck came towards my direction do fastly that I couldn't even move. And the lights that fell straight on my eyes made me almost blind. Even before my knowledge my body was hit with the truck and I flew in the air for some mili seconds before my head hit the iron rellin and I slumped down falling on tge other end of the bridge where the deep water was waiting for me take my life away.
May be that place will be the place which will be so far for them that even if they'll want to bring me back they won't be able to do.
And even if I'll change my mind in future then too I won't be able to go back because that's best for my family.
My body was aching so badly..blood was oozing out of my head vigorously.. my eyelids were slowly dropping as I felt that the soul inside my body was leaving me.
I heard some commotion and a man walked over near the rellin although I couldn't see him.
" Yes Mahir sir! Kaam ho gaya. Kar diya Bela ka accident..." He said and my heart dropped to my stomach hearing him.
Mahir ji!
Really?
"Arey sir app tension mat lo.. arey asa accident kia hai sidha bridge ke us par nadi mein giri hai .. waha se uska bachpana namumkin hai.. aur waise bhi apne he kaha na ki usey swimming nahi ati aur niche magarmachh ka raj hai... Pani se bach bhi gayi toh magarmach se kaise bachegi?" He asked followed by a series of evil love.
The bit of love and respect I had for you has died today Mahir ji.
Even after cheating on me , shattering me apart, you want to take my life.
What did I even do to you?
That you tried to kill me?
You betrayed me Mahir.. you...
I heard the engine getting into work and the man left with the truck.
I wanted to go away from you but now I want my answers from you ...
You wanted kill me but I won't let that happen.
Breathing heavily I gripped the rod which I was holding... Which was bearing all my weight right now and decided to ask for help.
I can't die .... I just can't die .
" Someone please help... Help me please! " I scremed to the top of my voice but there was no sign of any one .
"Please Help me.. help me please.. help me..." I scremed crying bitterly when all of a sudden I heard a familiar voice .
" Bela?"
He yelled calling my name....
" Main yaha hu.. please help me.." I yelled at the same pitch and there came Kabeer running towards my direction.
He looked horrified to see my state.
" Bela? App waha kya kar rahi hai? Yeh kya ho raha hai? Apke sar se khoon.. " he tensed up while I was almost losing my conscious.
" Please help me Kabeer... Meri madad kijiye.." I managed to say when the pain was increasing every second.
" Apko kuch nahi hoga Bela... Main appko kuch nahi hone dunga ..." He said reassuring me as he ran back to get something to help me.
I was losing my sense slowly as the pain in my head became unbearable. My grip on the rod was losening. Kabeer came up running and panting.. gasping for breath..
"Bela please rod mat chorna... Please.." he pleaded while tie-ing the rope to the relllin when all my energy drained up and without even realising my grip loosened.
"Save me... " I managed to whisper before falling from there as I heard his scream..
" Belaaaa..."
I fell straight in the river and the water splashed badly making a huge sound. My head hit the stone and after that everything went black.
I opened my eyes to find myself in a hospital bed. A blonde nurse who was busy scribbling something on the paperboard suddenly looked up at me.
" Oh you're awake. Let me call the doctor!" She said in her British accent and left even before I could speak something.
When the doctor came followed by a worried Kabeer behind, from him I got to know that I had been unconscious since a week now. And I was in US.. when I asked Kabeer about what happened and how I am still alive as I didn't really remembered anything. The last thing I remember is me hanging from the bridge. He said how I fell and he went down towards the river and with the help of some fishermen they saved me although my head was injured badly.
I still had a bandage wrapped around my head and it was still hurting like hell.
" Mujhe yaha kyu leke aye ho Kabeer? " I asked looking straight at him.
" I got to know that some goon did that accident. I also got to know about everything that happened before the accident. Thanks heavens that I took that route to reach your umm wedding otherwise main agar waha se nahi gujarta toh shayad ajj app.. " he sighed not wanting to utter those words.. "never mind. Maine appko waha ke he hospital le gaya tha.. maine Yuvi, Mahir sabko call karne ki koshish ki par kisine call nahi uthaya. Main khud jaake inform nahi kar sakta tha as I had to be in the hospital with you islia maine apne admi ko bheja and he found the house locked even the guard wasn't there. Next day jab maine unse contact krne ki koshish ki main kisi bhi tarah unse baat nahi kar pa raha tha and suddenly you were attacked again in the hospital. The shocking thing was woh attack tumpe.." he couldn't complete as I cut him off saying "Mahir ne karaya tha.." I completed and he looked shocked but eventually nodded.
"Appka waha rehna safe nhi tha Bela aur yaha Ani maa.. " I looked confused.
Who's Ani maa?
" She is the only parent I and my sister have. Unki tabiyat thik nahi thi.. main tumhe waha marne ke liye chorke nahi aa sakta tha.. islia mujhe appko yaha le ana para.. tumse bina puche.. I'm sorry for that!" He apologised looking down when I sighed looking at the white door.
" appne jo kia aur jitna bhi kia mere liye kaafi hai kabeer. Thankyou so much.. par main wapas India nahi jana chahti.."
My words shocked him and I nodded implying I'm serious..
" Mujhe wapas jana hai par abhi nahi... Ase tuti hui aur bechari banke nahi jana.. mujhe khudko majboot karna hoga.. main kamjor nahi parna chahti.. and doctor has said ki meri sar ki chor ankle ke moch ke wajah se mujhe kuch mahine rest karna hoga.. so let's give him sometime to enjoy and think that I am gone from his life." I said looking into space when he nodded.
After another week I was discharged. Kabeer took me to his mansion instead of my clear protests stating that I'm his responsibility.. he's my friend and this is the least he could do. I met Ani maa , Jaanvi and I found trace of Sania , Vish and Anu in her. Mixture of three of them ... And I instantly liked her. With passing time my health recovered and I grew closer to them. Kabeer became my closest friend ever I found my three best friends in that single girl Jaanvi . With time I realised that I really didn't wanted to come across Mahir and them ever in my life . I was happy here and hence I decided to never go back. Everything was changed.. I was changed but the hatred I discovered for Mahir that night was just the same and it increased everyday.
Life was going smooth until one day Ani maa asked me to marry Kabeer. I got to know from her that Kabeer has always liked me since the day 1 but never dared to confess. She didn't forced me and gave me time to think.
I would have said no but then I saw his picture with Kaira in an event and that was it.
If he was enjoying his life then why would I sit back and cry?
I deserve wat better than him and Kabeer was way better than him.
He was handsome, smart , billionaire, my friend and my savior. What else was needed and I said yes for it.
FLASHBACK ENDS
And here I'm today.. for finally moving on.
" Bela... Let's go everyone is here.. and some special guest Bhai said. Umm yeah Mr. Mahir.. he's here too.. everyone is waiting just for you!" She said and got up looking at my reflection.
I smirked looking at my reflection.
" The game begins here!"
To be continued..

From next part it's going to be more fun!
