Bela's POV
I was leaving from there when I held a strong force pulling me back and in a second I was collided with a hard rock chest.
I looked up and found the same brown orbs which I used to love staring at day and night.
The same orbs which used to look at me with so much love and admiration in them.
The same orbs for which I fell hard.
The same orbs which would do it's magic on my whenever I would be angry.
Everything was just so beautiful.. those days.. those moments.. those people... those feelings.. nothing could have matched their level..but then turned out that everything was fake..
Just a show off..
It hits hard when you are betrayed.. because that comes from the people you love...
I felt my eyes tearing up when I felt the same familiar touch only tk realise I was already crying and he was wiping off my tears just like he used to do back then .
But nothing was same now.. the moment I realised this I jerked away his hands and saw hurt in his eyes.
And here again he's faking his emotions.
Not any more am going to fall in this trap.
"Just leave me Mahir ji.. I need to leave.. it's my engagement today!" I said trying to get out of his hold.
" You aren't really doing this right?" He asked one last time and I looked at him with my most serious eyes.
" I am doing this.. and I want you to be a part of it..kyunki agar apne apna asli rang na dikhaya hota toh ajj shayad mujhe mera real soulmate milta he nahi.. so thankyou.. and yeah please I want you to celebrate." I said faking smile making ge believe how much happy I was but in reality every word I was saying was just braking my heart to million pieces.
" Agar woh tumhara soulmate hua na Bela toh main ya tum kya .. koi is Engagement aur Shadi ko nahi rok payega.. lekin agar asa kuch hai he nahi toh na mujhe aur nahi tumhe kuch karne ki jarurat padegi.. qismat khud apna khel dikhayegi aur is engagement ko hone he nahi degi... " He said with such intensity that for a moment I fell in deep thoughts.
" And you want me to enjoy right? Then I'll..." He said making me look at him confused.
" Dance with me.. I want to celebrate your so called engagement.. kabhi hum dost the.. atleast uss khaatir he dance karlo!" He said looking at me as his eyes started welling up and became red but neither he allowed a single drop ti fall nor he averted his gaze to hide ..
Before I could sah something he took me inside towards the dance floor while the lights got dimmed and two spot lights were focused on us.
Every head snapped to our direction but neither he cared nor was I bothered much.
Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
He held my wrist tightly and pulled me on his chest.. his eyes were red woth anger and .. pain?
He must be happy right?
Tu mera khuda
Tu hi duaa mein shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Holding my right hand in his he moved it in the air ... Pushing me slightly he twirled me around roughly.
Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
I was about to leave when he gripped my wrist again and pulled me back on his chest. My back hut his front hardly and I flinched feeling his hot breathe on my neck.
Junoon hai mera
Banoon main tere qaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
" Kyu kar rahi ho yeh Bela? Tum janti ho sach kya hai fir v?"' he asked turning me towards him..
I felt him controlling his rage by the way he was holding me.. what truth was he talking about?
the betrayal I got and that he's a cheater is the biggest truth.
" Main jaanti hu sach kya hai islia woh kar rahi hu jo mere liye sahi hai!"' I said in a montonous tone not even looking at him.
Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera
He twirled me as u went behind his back.. I wrapped my arms around him from back as he looked back to my face leaning back and the only thing I saw was pain.
Am I missing something?
Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera
He brought me towards his front and pulled me towards him making me two turns.
I was well aware of all the gazes at our intense dance but I just couldn't push him away....
Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
He lifted me by my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck looking deep into his eyes.
The only thing which was left common between us was the pain and frustration I was seeing in his eyes.
Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
He placed me on my feets as we didn't moved and stood rooted looking at eachother with so many emotions running in our mind.
I was getting weak on my knees.
And I couldn't afford that but I was so helpless that I couldn't even move an inch.
Thankfully Kabeer came to my rescue and taking my hands in his took me away.
I don't know how will I do this engagement! Even when I want to hurt Mahir ji , I know deep somewhere I'm hurting myself too.
Some part of me wants what Mahir said to come true but at the same time I just couldn't forget all the pain I have been through all this months.
I deserved happiness... But I got betrayal..
I deserved love but I got hate..
Now I want what I deserve and that can be done only when I move on..
And Kabeer is just the best options I have!
I sat on the couch with Kabeer beside me ... We were waiting for the rings...
I saw Yuvi and Vikrant who were pleading me with their eyes not to do this but I just couldn't agree to that.
Finally I was doing something for myself forgetting about the world.
Sometimes we need to be selfish and this time for the first time I was being selfish.
Mahir stood at a distance looking at us with his red eyes but blank face..
He wasn't going to do anything.. or was he?
" Bela jara andar aa na.." we all heard Jaanvi calling me from the pooja ghar..
" Kya hua Jaanvi?" Ani maa yelled back..
" Maa app bas usey bhejo.." she asked piss..
" It's ohk Ani Maa.. main jati hu!" I said and got up walking towards the pooja ghar not before glancing at Mahir.
I reached there and found her fidgeting with the coconut and red holy thread.
" Kya hua hai?" I asked when she finally looked up at me with puppy eyes.
" Yeh hua hai!!" She said showing me the coconut and thred she was holding. I looked at her confused when she started explaining herself "yeh thread is nariyal ke around bandhni hai .. tujhe aur bhai ko shagun mein dene ke liye.. Ani maa ne mujhe subah he kaha tha but main badme karungi bol bol ke aur ki he nahi aur ab mujhe aa nhk raha.. agar Ani maa ko pata chal gaya toh garbar ho jayegi.. bohot datengi mujhe.. islia help karde please.."
I bursted out laughing hearing her while she frowned looking down. I got on my knees and took the coconut from her as well as the thread and started wrapping it around the coconut and giving multiple knots such that it won't come out of it.
" Jaanvi scissor pass kar .. yeh dhaga katna hai!" I asked her holding the coconut properly as the final knot had to be given after I cut the thread.
" Scissor..." She said looking here and there.. searching for it.. "yehi toh rakhi thi pata nahi kaha chali gayi.. ek minute ruk.. " she said taking another thaali.. "yeh le knife se katle.. main jaldi yeh rings pohchake ati hu.. tabtak tu nariyal samhalle!" She said and left from thede hurriedly.
" Arey par meri baat to sun..." Even without listening a word she left ..
"Main akele kaise kaatu? Nariyal ko chor dia toh yeh dhaga khul jayega aur nahi chora to chaku nahi pakar paungi.. yeh kya musibat6hai bhagwan? Aur yeh Jaanvi .. isko sabar he nahi hai.. kabhi puri baat nahi sunti.. Yeh lakdi bhi na!" I sighed and picked the knife. I was facing difficulty in cutting the thread and I could not place the coconut between my legs as it was a pure holy thing which was being used as s shagun in the Engagement ritual which means legs couldn't be touched with it... I finally managed a position and gave a hard cut when I felt sharp pain as my skin split apart...
"Aahhh!" I scremed in pain when I finally noticed the blood oozing out from the ring finger if my right hand..
Shit!
Hearing my scream Ani maa came running to me followed by Kabeer and Jaanvi in tow.
" Oh my God Bela.." Kabeer's voice laced with worry as he got on his knees beside me taking my hand. The coconut fell from my hand and the thread that I wrapped around it minutes back came out in a blink falling in s spiral order around the coconut which rolled on the floor breaking slightly and I saw the coconut was black from inside.. Ani maa's eyes fell on the coconut and she gasped.
" Oh god.. yeh nariyal ka aise girna ashubh hota hai.. hey bhagwan.. yeh toh apshagun ho gaya.." she said staring the coconut as I too looked at it ...
" Ani maa apko shagun apshagun ki pari hai.. yaha Bela ke hath se kitna khoon nikal raha hai.. applog please doctor ko call kijiye... Jaanvi call the doctor damnit." Kabeer freaked out... Ani maa was still looking at the coconut while I saw Jaanvi dialling someone until her eyes fell on my bleeding finger and I heard Jaanvi gasp.
" Oh no bhai! Bela ki ring finger me cut aya hai.. ab sagai kaise hogi?" She asked worried and Kabeer too looked at my finger which he held in his hands.... my eyes were rooted to the place from where blood was oozing out vigorously. The way I was loosing blood I doubt if I'll be able to be conscious... And what about the engagement now? The ring is worn in the ring finger right?
But now what? What's even happening?
Why is it happening?
Will I be able to do this engagement? All the guests are waiting out there...
Agar woh tumhara soulmate hua na Bela toh main ya tum kya .. koi is Engagement aur Shadi ko nahi rok payega.. lekin agar asa kuch hai he nahi toh na mujhe aur nahi tumhe kuch karne ki jarurat padegi.. qismat khud apna khel dikhayegi aur is engagement ko hone he nahi degi...
Mahir's word rang in my ears before I saw black dots appearing infront of my eyes and I passed out.
The last thing I heard was Kabeer's worried voice calling my name again and again as I fell unconscious in his arms.
