Bela

I rotated the door knob ,  pushed it a little when someone's hand landed on my right shoulder.

Omg! What the hell.

I jumped aside quickly.. That was hell scary.

I looked in front of me and found dad oh no no Andy uncle , sumi aunty and kuhu in front of me.

What are they doing here?

They grinned looking at me and gave me a teasing look.

And the most surprising part was my body was Responding in reflex, my cheeks turned red. Totally red I mean.

"Umm...hmm mom dad let's go I think bhai and bhabhi are upto something and we are disturbing them. "
Kuhu  dramatically said  and winked at me.

my cheeks turned scarlet.

Looking at me trio laughed loudly.

"Wo.. Actually I was here to talk to mahir about rishi's admission "

"Ohh hoooo" Kuhu hooted and uncle aunty joined her.

I was feeling like a teenager who is expressing about  her like to her friends, and her friends teasing her .

I looked away not able to meet my eyes to them.

"Okay Enough . Let's go" Finally!!aunty smiled at me and caressed my cheek.

I sighed when heard them going.

I turned and again tried to push the door in order to open it.

"Enjoy bhabhi "

Kuhu shouted from stairs.

Oh this girl  and her bhabhi calls are of no help.
I smiled to myself
And finally opened the door.

Bed is neatly arranged. All the things on their proper place.
Everything looks fine here.

But the curiosity? For assuring myself, I again scanned the room.
There is something under the bed.
It looks like a piece of cloth.

I bend down to pick it up.

Shit! Shit! Shit! What is this? Damn!!It was so terrible.

"Ahhhhh"

My heart beats  were running with 4 g speed.

I sighed realising that the door was locked so no one heard me.

"What the hell is this mahir? "

He came out from his  hiding, totally dressed in girly outfit, wig, and some make up.

"So sorry bela for scaring you "

He said with his signature puppy face but today he was looking damn funny with it.

I couldn't control and started laughing, rolling on his bed.

Damn! The guy is crazy.

"Bela please stop laughing"  He said removing his stupid wig

He looks cute though.

"Sorry sorry" I said almost composing my self.

"Actually it was a dare by my friend "

"To dress like a girl and hide under bed? "

I again started laughing.

"No Bela. He asked me to dress like a girl and sing a song for him.
I hid under the bed because I heard you outside the door. I was afraid "

"Afraid for? "
I couldn't control and again started laughing which  made him embarrassed.

"For this Only. You laughing like a maniac on me , and poor me getting embarrassed to no end "

With that I completely burst out laughing.
When I  stopped I found him staring at my soul.

Completely penetrating gaze. I stopped laughing immediately. I gulp the lump formed in my throat.

We heard a knock on the door . He averted his gaze. I got up ,kissed his cheek and ran out of the his room not even looking at his reaction.

What has happened to me? How the hell I am behaving. No this is definitely not me.

How could I kiss him? What he would be thinking of me?

I opened  his room door and found uncle with a mischievous smile.

I walked past him blushing.
Why do I think  dad has a hand in mahir's girly dress up.

No no I am overthinking.

Mahir

Some one pinch me please. This is not a dream right? She kissed me?

She,Bela kissed me? She freaking kissed me?omg!!I was getting crazy.
This is definitely one of my crazy wild dream.

I came out of my wonderland when I heard dad  addressing me as "tharki bear"

Okay I can digest bear but tharki?

"Dad I

" Before you say you are not tharki let me tell you something. "

" But dad..

"Shut up. See this pink lipstick mark on your cheek. "

Oh god that means it was not dream.i am gonna faint . She kissed me for real.

" Dad this

"Leave it. How was it? "

He winked at me.

He was asking about his dare.

One week before, yuvi 's girlfriend caught him dancing cosily with other girl. Not only that she was touching him and he was all happy about it. Since then she was not talking to him.

Today he gave me a dare to dress up in girly outfit and persuade his girlfriend that it was me who was dancing with him that day by video calling her.

I refused him to do this and he called dad. Dad without knowing the whole story asked me to perform the dare or else he will reveal all my embarrassing moments of childhood in front of bela.

Having no other option left. I had to do it.

Coming back to the present he was smiling mischievously at me .

I threw a pillow at him.he caught it deftly and we ended up having a father-son pillow fight later rishi joined it too.

What a blissful moment.

Three generations playing together.

************************************

Today mom is gonna have her kitty party so here I am cooking .

Mom ordered chef mahir what to cook.

Kuhu intentionally told mom some of the difficult dishes.  Adding salt to my wounds.

Mom is looking after her "chugli-party"preparations.

Rishi is jumping all around the house  as if we are going to celebrate festival.

Dad is busy searching new words to tease me.

Kuhu busy with her college assignments.

First time I am seeing her doing something useful.

And my selfless beauty is chopping vegetables for me.

How can someone look so hot while doing anything.
She is dressed in Light pink shirt with white jeans . Her silver earrings touching her cheeks which makes sounds whenever she nods her head or mom asks her something and That cute smile is my all time favourite.

Ah! She taking my heart away from me.

I was bought back to reality when I heard the sound of pressure cooker indicating that rice is ready.

.
.
.
"Namaste sudha ji, ashwini ji aaiye  "

Mom welcomed two of our neighbors.

They smiled back in response.

Slowly slowly everyone joined the party and started their "chugli -session"

It was about 2 pm when I was going in the kitchen to drink water , I heard the ladies talking about rishi.

I hid my self  and put my ears to their conversation.
I know its bad to evesdrop but can't help it's about my rishi.

"Arey sumi ji suna hai aapka ldka bhi haath se nikal gya " One of them said.

I can imagine mom giving them a awkward smile.

"Haa sumi ji. Shaadi se pehle hi bacha? "Another chugli Ambassador supported.

"Mughe to lgta hai mahir beta ki koi galti nii hogi zaroor uss ldki ne hi kuch kiya hoga. Humare mahir beta aese nii hai hum to jante hai unhe "

"Haa kuch ladkiya paiso ke liye ye sab krti hai. Mahir beta ki koi galti nii hogi"Again another chugli ambassador.

"Dekhiye bas kijiye. Mere samne aap mahir pe ilzaam nii lga skte iska matlab Bela pe lagaenge? .
Pta bhi hai Bela ne jo kiya hai na vo aap ya aapke bcho me se koi kbhi nii kr skta.
Rishi ke maa baap use chor ke chale gye isiliye hamari bela ne use adopt kr liya aur mahir ne uska saath diya. "
Mom said in calm yet dangerous voice.

"Arey sumi ji aap to naraz  ho gae  hum to  bs yu hi... "

"Party khtm ho gae hai aap log ja skte hai yha se. Aur aage se iss ghar me kitty party nii hogi. "Mom stood up joining her hands.

One by one they all left.

I smiled at my family's fondness for bela.

But this is not right. They are not only people who would think like this. There are many. I don't care about myself but Bela.

I need to do something. I need to end all this. I can't stand any backlash for bela.

I moved to kitchen to get water that's when my eyes stopped at bela whose eyes were full of tears. And she  was wiping them repeatedly., who was standing in the corridor in front of her room ,from there we can clearly see and can hear whatever Happening in the dining area.

My heart dropped seeing her like that. 
Before I can reach her she ran her to her room.

Probably mom too saw her like that.she gave me worried look.

I assured her with my eyes and moved to her room.
