Akki's POV:
(Sitting with a cup of coffee in garden talking to Sow)
'My head is aching Sow... Why is this couple so difficult!
Now Mahir came up with this!
Now???
And I still can't believe he is doing this..
But he's hell-bent re.. Believe me if this is marriage I'm glad I'm single'
Sow kept hand on Akki's hands and said...
'Akki chill... We'll find a way out... don't worry'
'There is no way out!!! I have to talk to Bela and everyone before Mahir comes back!!! Ufff!!! I need another cup of coffee!!! Being a lawyer and being lawyer to a friend is like 10 notch higher torture I said'
Sow patted my back saying...I'll call everyone at breakfast table.
Akki slightly rubbed the temple of her head...
💆
***
At breakfast table...
When everyone gathered...
Kuhu started serving breakfast to everyone...
Slowly I saw Bela come with Musky...
It looked like she didn't sleep well...her eyes were puffy...
Or did she cry?
I saw Mahir had still not come...
Anyways Mahir had announced his decision to me already... There is nothing left to discuss or decide...
I had to only announce it!
I waited for everyone to eat their breakfast because I knew this news may kill a lot of appetites!!!
Once everyone had their breakfast...I started...
'People ...as you all know I am the lawyer for Gulmohar...and also Brinda's advocate
..
Im here to announce something that Mahir wanted me to...'
'But where is Mahir' Aadi asked...
To which I said...
'He has gone to pick someone at the airport'
Everyone looked confused...
To which Kuhu said ' But today is Bhai dooj...i came from US for this sake itself... Even Yuvi Bhai came for the same...'
To which I said... 'Ok then you start with Yuvi today... Mahir may reach anytime soon... I'll announce post your rituals' I said...
I knew this topic would screw people's head up and throw hundred questions... that's why I wanted Mahir next to me..
I was killing time...
Kuhu started doing Bhai dooj rituals with Yuvi where as Bela did the same to Aadi and Nandini...
Ishaani Bhabhi did it to Tan...
Then Bela did the rituals with Tan and Dev too.
Sisters got gifts and blessings both from their brothers...
Just then I heard shoes walking towards dining area...
I understood that Mahir had come...
But along with him a shock awaited all of us...
I began...
'Guys the announcement now...
Bela... Mahir has decided to opt out of the custody and Gulmohar both...
Which means you will get both Gulmohar and Muskaan completely for yourself!'
Next minute I saw Bela was SHOCKED 😳
Everyone around was SHOCKED 😳
'But we have a joint custody according to' before Bela could complete...I said...
'Custody until and unless you are single or Married to each other...the clause says'... I said
And Bela's eyebrows narrowed...
That's when Mahir said...
'Yes... and I want a divorce from Bela...'
Next minute I saw Bela collapse on the chair...
Aadi almost came to catch his collar..
'Do you know what you are barking.. I asked you to heal her...is this healing??? Why do you want to divorce her???'
Just then Yuvi came saying... ' Bhai I know it's your guilt...but it's ok... everyone does mistakes... make up to Bhabhi' he said mm.
But Mahir didn't budge a bit...
Instead he went away and corrected his Blazer collar and said...
'Guys guys... relax! I took this decision thinking everything...
See I always thought Bela is an incapable woman..but I now know how good and talented she is... She's a great woman...she doesn't need a man.. she can get anyone' he said...
To which Ishaani bhabhi said... 'If so then why not you Mahir... '
I saw Bela already had pooled eyes...
'Because she's not my type...she never was... And I finally found my type and I have decided to take the plunge with her...
I met her 3 months back in a business meeting in Bali...
I had proposed to her and she finally said a YES last night.. She's all I always wanted...
And he invited her in...
Karishma... Come here baby....
And a girl stepped in...
Approx 5'10... Sleek and sexy figure...
Grey eyes... Brown hair...her figure fitting white shimmery chick dress stopped just on her butt and enhanced all her body parts perfectly hugging her...
Pink stilletos...
And she passed a flashing smile to everyone...
Mahir slipped his hand into her waist and said...
'Meet Karishma Patel... My fiance'
And next minute everyone's jaws dropped...'
And the lady side hugged him and placed a small kiss on his right cheek...
I was also SHOCKED 😳 seeing this scene.
I knew Mahir wanted a divorce but this fiance thing was a shock to me too...
Honestly Mahir and her pair didn't look good although she was hot...
She was taller than him, looked older than him and somehow my heart couldn't accept this...
'What the heck is this' Aadi said...
To which Mahir smiled and said...
'Come on Aadi...we got all the misunderstandins resolved...I think it's time we all move on in life!!!
Infact I think even Bela should get married!!!
Two good old 'Friends' marrying same day... isn't that cool?'
Aadi almost went to punch him..
While a voice came from behind...
'Stop it Aadi... All is good... And...
Congratulations Mr Mahir Sehgal...
Your divorce will reach you..but on 5 conditions that I have! You must agree to all 5!!!'
She said...
To which Mahir looked at her and said hugging the antenna next to him😏😠...
'Anything for my dream girl'
Bela walked infront of Mahir and said...
'First... You find me a guy!
Second... Organize my wedding!
Third... Take me to the wedding hall and be beside me on every ritual
Fourth ...organize my wedding night and honeymoon!!!
Final... And most important...till all this happens you stay together with me in the bedroom... because we are co-parenting her and I believe responsibilities should be equal till you find me a perfect husband who can share this responsibility with me!!!'
Now everyone including me looked at Bela like she was a five headed snake...
Infact Mahir as well was dumb struck a few minutes...
'Ba...Ba...but I can stay in another room' Mahir tried to explain...
'Dont worry I won't even touch you Mahir Sehgal...but I don't want you to escape off your responsibilities so easily!!! Hence the last point!'
But after a few minutes of dead silence he smiled
..
And said... 'Fine!!! It's a deal!' he shaked hands with Bela...they had a eyelock... So many unspoken emotions... Their eyes speak volumes...
Next second Mahir announced...
'Till then Karishma stays in this same house...' next he asked Bhushan uncle to take her luggage inside...
While he was about to take it to the second bedroom Bela said...
'To the guest bedroom Bhushan uncle... those are family rooms and Karishma isn't family yettt' shooting Mahir a deady glare...
Mahir looked elsewhere and moved tightening his grip on Karishma's waist...
Soon Bela left to her room and closed the door with a thud!
While we all collapsed on the living room chair and sofa...
We all were shocked.
