5AM
Behir's room
The alarm rang⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰
But bela did not wake up instead mahir had to wake up to turn off the alarm
This was unusual bcoz bela is an early riser.
Mahir turned towards bela, bela was sleeping he tried to wake her up and as soon as he touched her head it was burning
She has high fever 🤒🤒🤒
Bela woke up
But mahir told her to rest.
" Bela bhukhar h tumhe so jaoo"Mahir said.
" Nhi bas aise hi h thoda, main breakfast bana leti hu " She tried to brush it away and get up
"5 baje h bas, itne jaldi kisko khilana h tumhe "Mahir asked her.
" Shivaay bhaiya ko London jana h aaj unki flight h 6 baje ki unka bf toh bana leti hu warna bina khaye hi chale jaenge " Bela said still in sleep.
Mahir was surprised that his brother is leaving for London and he didn't even remember but she does.
This girl❤❤❤
"Main bana leta hu "Mahir said.
" Aap??? Aur nashta??? Vo bhi shivaay bhaiya ke liya??? "Bela said shocked.
" Ha bana sakta hu isme kya h ek coffee hi bana ni h aur toast bana lunga "Mahir stated.
"Shivaay bhaiya ko toast nhi pasand h coffee ke saath.. Mjhe banane do " Bela said.
"Bela bukhar h bht zyada tezzz chup karo main bhushan ko bol deta hu "Mahir suggested.
" Vo nhi aaenge itna jaldi "Bela replied.
" Bela!!!!!!! "Mahir said.
Mahir got up turned off the AC . Bela was getting up but mahir covered her with blanket and said "so jao chup chap"
Mahir went outside and saw shivaay ready and told him abt bela's condition
" Bhabhi ko bol relax kare mere flight main meals available h i ll take that "Shivaay said.
Mahir made a cup of coffee for him
No need to be shocked mahir knows how to make coffee since he lived 5 years alone away from home.
Shivaay left.
Saying " Saalo baad tere haath ki coffee peene mili h thanx to bhabhi, biwi ka kya aa gayi h ab kitchen main bhi jaane laga h huh"
" Tu bhi chida le saale"Mahir said sighing.
Shivaay left finally
Mahir switched to YouTube and searched
"How to make ginger tea 🍵🍵"
Mahir very carefully followed all the steps and made a nice cup of tea for his beloved wife.
And headed upstairs.
Bela was laying on the bed,mahir kept the mug on the side.
Bela woke up seeing mahir
" Yeh chai piyo adrak dali h better feel hoga thoda"
"Itni subah chai kisni banayi abhi toh bhushan kaka bhi nhi aaye h"
"Maine banayi h pilo acha lagega"
"NHI"she literally screamed.
She exactly remembered that mahir once told her that he prepared tea for Andy and sumitra on their wedding anniversary and it turned out to be horrible and Andy literally threw away the mug after having a sip.
"Kya itna bhi shock hone ki zarurat nhi h ok"mahir huffed in anger
Bela laughed.
" Yrr tum kesi ho ek toh mjhe itni fikar ho rahi thi ki tumhe itna tezz bhukar h isliye main chai bana ke laya jabki mjhe nhi aati chai banani,maine you tube se dekhke banayi h sirf tumhare liye aur tum ho ki pi bhi nhi rahi ho aur upar se hass rahi ho mjhepar " Whining like a kid Mahir said.
Bela laughed more.
Bela held his arm and made him sit on the bed beside her and squeezed his hand and thanked him.
" Thank u so much aapne itna socha,main chai pilungi aapki mehnat waste nhi hogi "She said and took the mug from him.
Mahir handed her the mug.
Bela was abt to take a sip , mahir stopped her.
"Bht garam h muh jal jaega"
Taking the mug back mahir poured some tea in the saucer and blew air to cool it and put it in front of her mouth and made her have the tea with his hands
Bela was all the tym admiring of how lucky she is to have such a caring husband,she really loves him, she means she loves the ways he showers his care and concerns and tries to pamper her.
After tea Bela started to get up but Mahir placed the blanket on her again and asked her to wait and brought the medicine.
" Yeh dawai lo" Mahir said.
Bela had all her life hated this thing and so she refused.
" Yeh kya bacho wali harkate h Bela dawai lo chup chap "Mahir said sternly.
"Nhi chai pi li h ab thik ho jaungi"Bela said stubbornly.
"Bela chup chap dawai le lo warna main tumhare dadu ko call kar dunga"Mahir threatened her.
"Nhiii"Bela said.
" Ha toh chup chap dawai le lo "Mahir said handing her the medicine which she didn't took.
"Mera matlab tha kisiko ko bhi bol do main nhi lungi dawai yeh bht kadwi hoti h aur mjhe ulti aati h isse "Bela said.
" Fine mat lo khush... Ab yeh batao ki nashte main kya banana h?? "Mahur gave up and decided to give her medicine after making her have bf.
" Rehne dijiye aap se nhi hoga chai easy h nashta nhi "Bela said.
" Bhushan aa gaya h usse bol raha hu"Mahir said.
" Aaj monday h toh poha bol diye banane ke liye sabke liye aur Ishan ke tiffin ke liye aloo sandwich banne ke liye bolna aur unko bolna ki ketchup extra dale aur aloo filling fridge main h wo use kare aur bolna ki brown bread main banaye "She instructed him.
" Bimar ho fir bhi shanti nhi h na "He said and left.
This girl is really different.
Mahir sighed and went down
He came down by then bhushan kaka was there so he guided him what has to be done, bhushan was also shocked that mahir was guiding him abt making bf. Changes you have after getting married 😂😂
All the bf was prepared. Meanwhile mahir prepared tea for everyone he just multiplied the quantity of ingredients into no. Of person. And made the tea,mahir then helped bhushan kaka set the table.
Basically fulfilly all the duties her wife did all these days.
Mahir then went upside and looked at Bela who was sleeping he checked the temperature but the fever was simply rising.
He quickly had a bath and came out and managed to get dressed without disturbing Bela and came down he was abt to go towards the bf table but then he remembered that Bela does the prayer first and then starts bf.
Mahir changed his direction towards the small temple arranged in the house. He cleaned the diya and filled it again and lit it and started the aarti.
Meanwhile all the other seghal males had reached the bf table and ishan ran to the temple assuming that it would be Bela and she would give her the ladoo.
" Bhabhiiiiii good morning " Ishan said.
"Yeah bhabhi ke biceps kese ban gayi body bhi baad gayi baal bhi kam ho gaye aur bht muscular lag rahi h issa kese ho sakta h " Came stupid thoughts to ishans mind
He was shocked to see mahir when he turned and he laughed out loud.
Mahir was holding aarti ki thali in one hand with the temple bell in the other he was looking completely sankari , a complete male version of sankari bahu
Ishan ran out side to the table telling everyone that mahir is doing the aarti and everyone thought it was meant be a joke as mahir could never do such things. But everyone ran to see him and they all started laughing and clicking his pictures.
" Stop it idoits Bela ki tabiyat kharab h isliye mjhe karna pada " Mahir informed them.
"Kya hua bhabhi ko??? " Asked concerned ishan and rest were all waiting for mahir to answer.
" Bhukhar h usse isliye so rahi h "Mahir said.
" Toh biwi ka sara kaam kar rahe ho aap sahi h sahi h bht hi patni vrata pati ban gaye ho aap, shadi kya ho gyi bade bade log badal jatein h 😂😂😂"teased neil.
" Samjho neil bhai yeh sab toh bas
pyaar h
ha pyaar h
Haar bar h
bas pyaar h"sang kunj
Mahir ignored everything and served two plates and started heading upwards and then saw Andy taking a sip of the tea.
"Wese Bela ki tabiyat khrab thi isliye chai maine banayi h "Mahir said and went upstairs.
And Andy choked badly. But he has to agree that the tea was decent unlike the one he had years ago. Andy mentally laughed of how mahir hated entering the kitchen bcoz he did not excelled in it and today he is been doing all the homely duty just for that one girl whom he lost his heart to.
Mahir went upstairs to see Bela struggling to get out of the bed. Mahir placed the bf on the table and helped her sit properly with the help of the pillows.
Mahir forwarded her the plate.
" Nhi mjhe kuch khana nhi h, main nahaii bhi nhi hu "Bela said.
"Aur nahana bhi nhi h filhall,phle khaoo samjhi na"Mahir ordered her.
" Brush toh karne do plzzzz main bina brush kiye already chai pi chuki hu aapne itne pyaar se banayi isliye, ab nhi ha plzz mjhe bht ganda feel ho raha h "Bela said scrunching her face.
"Fine bhukhar h fir bhi tanturms khatam nhi ho rahe madam ke " Mahir muttered under his breath.
Mahir helped her to the washroom
" Aap bahar jao main kar lungi sirf brush hi karna h wese bhi"Bela said and Mahir nodded and gave her privacy.
After making sure Bela had enough breakfast he somehow managed to give her the medicine after begging for a lot of time.
_________________________
Bela didn't had enough strength to even walk out of the bed,she was just too tired to do anything,so Bhushan kaka already knowing Bela was ill decided to make the lunch after asking from Dadu what to make.
Dadu then got a bit worried,first he thought it was just a lil fever but he hasn't seen Bela since morning,she hasn't left her room since breakfast which she had in her room only and Mahir had asked him to make sure she doesn't come sout of the room and rests rather then doing any work.
Dadu thought to check up on her once so he elect for her room and knocked on the door a few times before entering,but when there was no response her decided to open it and enter after a lot of hesitation because at the end of the day she was a lady so he needed to give her her own privacy.
He entered the room and saw her sleeping on the bed covered with the duvet.He went near her and decided to wake her up.
"Bela,beta uth Jaa,lunch time ho gaya h"Dadu said very calming.
Bela moved a lil and opened her eyes and saw dadu and immediately tried to wake up.
"Nhi nhi,leti reh,mein tujhe sirf lunch ke liye uthane aaya tha,lunch bhejwata hu tere liye jaldi se kr le,accha lagega"Dadu said.
"Mera Mann nhi h dadu, baadmein kha lungi"Bela said weakily not wishing to eat anything at this moment.
"Arre aise kese bhukh nhi h,chup chap kha le"Dadu said a bit sternly then and just at that time a maid came with the tray of lunch and dadu took it from her and forwarded it to Bela.
"Thodi derr mein kha lungi pakka dadu"Bela tried to get away with it but Dadu wasn't having any of her drama now.
"Nhi abhi ke abhi kha mere saamne"Dadu said.
"Plzz dadu,abhi nhi khaya jayega mujhse, vomiting hi jayegi,I promise thodi derr mein khati hu"Bela said really not feeling like having anything at that point.
"Bela,beta yeh kha le phir dawai le Lena aur aaram kr lena koi tujhe disturb nhi karega okay?"Dadu then tried to convince her like a lil kid.
"Nhi abhi nhi dadu,thodi derr mein pakka kha lungi,abhi vomiting hi jayegi sach mein"Bela still acted stubborn,dadu sighed and nodded but warned her that he would check upon her in sometime and till then the food should have been finished.
Bela nodded and again slept.

Mahir's pov
After the long surgery I went straight to home and went to my room to check on Bela.
On my way I informed bhushan to prepare a vegetable soup for bela. I went inside the room only to find my wife lying on the bed lifeless. I went near her checked the temperature but to my surprise the temperature rose from what it was in the morning. Her head was very hot so was her body.
"Bela bela utto main aa gaya hu " I told her.
And she opened her eyes as if it is taking all the strength she had to open her eye lids. Her eyes were red and face was pale, dried lips and red nose. She was weak. I cupped her face " Kya hua h u r not feeling well"
She was unable to say anything as her throat was dry so I offered her a glass of water and she hastily drank it.
"soup piyo aur dawaii lo warna main ek injection de deta hu jaldi asar karega n u ll be fine trust me "
She agreed for the medicine but shook her head at the mention of injection and then I noticed her clothes changed.
" Tum nahaii thi?? "I asked her.
She lowered her head.
" Bela maine mana kiya tha na " I was scolding her and she shivered in her place. I tried to calm down myself coz I know she needs me.
"Kyu nahaii thande pani se mana kiya tha na maine "I said in the calmest tone
" Mjh.. Mjhe.. Bht.. Bht uneasy feel ho.. Ra.... Tha isliye maine.. Maine socha ki... Ki naha... Leti hu "she said shuttering a bit.
" Bela maine mana kiya tha qki already tumhari body weak thi upar se thande pani se nahane ke wajah se body stiff ho jati h isliye mana kar raha tha mjhe koi shok thodi h yeh sab karne ka "
" Mera... Puri body pain ho ri h... Mjhe acha ni lag ra 🥺🥺🥺🥺"
" Kuch nhi h bas soup pi lo dawai leke injection de ra hu sab thik ho jaega "
"Chalo muh kholo aur soup piyo " She resisted at first but then gave in as she was too weak to protest.She had the first sip and she scrunched her face in disgust at the awful taste of the soup.
"Nhi,mujhse nhi Piya jayega yeh"Bela said still trying to get the taste of it out of her mouth.
"Tumhe fever h na isliye Aisa lag raha h,pi lo isse better feel hoga"Mahir insisted and again forwarded a spoonful infront of her mouth but she just turned her head away not having it at all.
"Nhi,mujhse sach mein nhi Piya jayega,yeh bht Ganda h,I am sorry"Bela said wiping her mouth with the sleeve of her shirt.
"Bela please pi lo isse,tumhe dawai Leni h iske baad"Mahir said but Bela denied and again shook her head.
"Fine,yeh mat piyo,yeh batao kya khaogi?mein Bhushan kaka ko bolke banwa deta hu"Mahir asked her understanding her mood swings to not have the soup as people often throw tantrums when they are sick and he knows it better.
"Nhi abhi thoda so jaati hu,kuch khane ka Mann nhi h"Bela said lying down on the bed and Mahir sighed.
"So jao,mein lekr aata hu kuch khane ke liye tumhare liye"Mahir said and covered her with the blanket properly and turned off the lights and left the room to get some dinner ready for her so that she can have something after she wakes up.
__________________________
"Bhushan kaka kuch light bana dijiye na Bela ke liye"Mahir said as soon as he entered the kitchen.
"Kya banau pr sir?"Bhushan asked and Mahir then began thinking what to give her which she would find tasty and which would be light as well, because now he has seen she gets tantrumatic when not well.
"Kesi tabiyat h uski Mahir?aaj toh woh bahar hi nhi aayi?dekhi hi nhi,lunch bhi nhi kiya usne,meine itna bola pr itni ziddi h ki kuch nhi khaya"Dadu asked.
"Bht ziddi h dadu,soup bhi nhi pi Rahi h,subah nashta nhi bht mushkil se karwaya tha usse,aur dawai toh haath pair jodhkr di thi ,fever badh gaya h uska,isliye uske liye khane ke liye kuch lekr jaa raha hu"Mahir said.
"Hayee toh dawai waghera de na usse, doctor hokr apni hi biwi ka ilaj nhi kr sakta kya?"Dadu narrowed his eyes at Mahir.
"Arre dawai tab dunga na jab woh kuch khayegi?Aur dawai mein bhi kitne nakhre h uske!!meine bola mein uske dadu ko bata dunga toh kehti h jisko bolna h bol de woh dawai lene hi wali nhi h,na toh soup pi Rahi h,kya karu mein bhi?isliye socha kuch aur leke jau uske liye"Mahir said still thinking of what to feed her for which she won't throw any tantrums.
"Ek kaam kijiye Bhushan kaka aap....
Maahir was interrupted by Andy who was listening everything and so he said.
"Bhushan tum jao,mein dekh lunga"Andy said and Bhushan nodded,though he was a bit shocked that Andy would cook after years.
Mahir himself along with the rest of his brother's were shocked.
"Aap cook karenge Bade papa?"Rudra asked and Andy just nodded and left to the Kitchen.
"Bela ko neeche lekr aaja,pure din room mein reh kr aur bimar jesa feel hoga,thoda sabke saath bethegi toh acha feel hoga"Andy said looking at Mahir and Mahir nodded and left to get his wife.
Bela came down after a lot of persuasion by Mahir,she was not at all in a mood to leave her bed and just wanted to lie down on the soft mattress covered in the fluffy blanket.Her whole body was aching and was burning with high temperature and her eyes and nose both were red making her look more sick.
She walked down the stairs holding the railing and Mahir was beside her to help her if needed but she managed to get down without falling.She went and sat down on the single sofa folding her legs in Indian style as she leaned against the sofa.
"Thik toh lag raha h tujhe beta?"Asked Mahir's dadu and Bela looked at him and tried to smile and nodded at him unable to speak anything feeling too weak to do it.
"Aise kese achanak se tabiyat kharab ho gayi aapki bhabhi?"Neil asked worried for the only lady of the house.
Bela shrugged her shoulders not knowing how it happened herself.
"Tune aakhir lunch nhi hi kiya na??tab kha liya hota aur dawai le Li hoti toh ab tak bukhar chala bhi jaata"Dadu scolded her and Bela just stared at the ground as she knew she was at fault but she didn't had any appetite at the moment.
"Sorry dadu"Bela said and Dadu then sighed.
"Tere bhale ke liye hi toh bol raha tha na mein beta"Dadu said and Bela nodded.
Nobody then bothered her with anymore questions as they saw she was clearly too weak to respond,they let her sit in peace and even lowered the TV volume afraid she might have an headache as she was already ill.
Andy prepared simple daal-chawal for everyone and especially Bela as she was ill and needed to have something light.
_____________________________
Everyone served themselves as soon as the table was set because Bela was ill and so there was nobody to serve them,Andy then himself served Bela even though Bela denied a lot of times as she left embarrassed on being served by her father in law but Andy didn't listened to her.
Everyone began eating but Bela was just playing with the food,she didn't wanted to have anything,all she wanted to do was sleep,she felt too weak to sit and even have something.
"Bela khane ko dekhne se woh muhh mein nhi jaane wala h you have to eat it"Andy said from beside her and she immediately took a spoonful of daal chawal and put it in her mouth.She widened her eyes at the taste of it,it tasted delicious,she didn't knew Bhushan kaka could prepare something so simple yet delicious.
"Kya hua bhabhi?accha nhi laga aapko?"Kunj asked as everyone saw her wide eyes as soon as she ate the first bite.
"Dad daal chawal bukhar mein kaha accha lagta h?aapko kuch aur banana tha na?"Ishan said and Bela widened her eyes even more and immediately looked at Andy in surprise,she couldn't believe her father in law cooked such delicious food and the fact that he could cook was even more shocking for her.
"Acha nhi laga Bela?"Andy himself asked as he got confused with her reactions.
Bela immediately shook her in denial.
"Arre puttar toh bata tujhe kya khana h,wahi banwa denge"Dadu said and Bela again shook her head.
"Bela you need to eat something iske baad hi medicine le sakti ho"Mahir said from beside her and Bela again shook her head.
"Bela agar yeh nhi khana toh thik h,jo khana h I will myself make it for you,but khana toh padega hi,you need to eat something before taking medicine"Andy said and Bela again shook her head, everyone sighed and started explaining her the need to have some food as she was weak and Bela held her head in her hands as nobody understood what she was trying to say.
"Arre chup ho jao saare,usse bolne toh do kuch?....Bela beta,khana accha nhi h kya?"asked Shakti as he observed what all happened and then asked Bela,she shook her head at his question.
"Acha h na khana?"Shakti again asked and she nodded.
"Toh Khao na phir kabse sirr hila kr hume confuse kr rahi ho"Mahir said and Bela glared at him.
"Okay then have your dinner"Andy said and Bela nodded and then everyone again started eating.
Though Bela found the food tasty she couldn't bring herself to eat more than one fourth of what was on her plate and then she again started playing with her food.
"Bela khana Khao plzz"Mahir said this time and Bela sighed,she had had enough according to her and could'nt eat anymore.
"Nhi bas ho gaya mera"Bela said and was about to get up but stopped when Andy said.
"Finish atleast half of what is in your plate and then think of getting up Bela"Andy said and Bela sat down again with a pout,she couldn't overrule Andy's command at any cost.
After a few morsals she again didn't wanted to have anymore but didn't dared to get up as she didn't wanted to get scolded by Andy.
"Just a few more bites Bela"Mahir said and Bela sighed.
"Thoda sa aur kha le puttar dawai bhi toh Leni h tujhe"Dadu said as if talking to a child and all Sehgal brothers stared at him as if he had horns,he never talked so lovingly with anyone of them ever and now was showering all his love on his grand daughter in law.
"Bas aur nhi kha sakti mein"Bela said slowly so that Andy won't scold her.
"Eat more"Andy said and Bela again sighed,she didn't had the guts to throw tantrums infront of him and so she obliged him and ate a few more and then looked at Andy in the hope that he would relieve her now,Andy looked at her plate and then nodded and Bela relaxed,she couldn't have anymore of it now no matter how tasty it was.
Post dinner Mahir intentionally gave medicine to Bela infront of Andy because he had seen on the dining table that she wouldn't defy him no matter what,Bela glared at him as she understood his strategy.
"Mujhe kya ghurr rahi ho?yeh dawai lo"Mahir said and Bela sighed but didn't made any movements to take it.
"Aap hi boliye dad meri toh kuch sunti nhi h"Mahir turned to Andy and Andy just stared at Bela for a second and Bela immediately took the medicine from Mahir and had it all the time glaring at Mahir who smirked at her because his tactic worked.
"Go get some rest now"Andy said and Bela nodded and left for her room.
Post that Mahir helped her to their room and then tucked her in the bed and Bela slept as soon as her head hit the pillow and Mahir covered her with the blanket and slept beside her.
