"Married!"

"You what?", Bela asked being annoyed

"Nothing, come let's go home.. Vish is worried for you", mahir said walking towards his car

"Wait wait", Bela said running behind him

"Now what?", Asked mahir irritated

"There are my stuff in my scooty, I need to take them", Bela said looking elsewhere

"Ugh! Come.. we will take on the way and leave home", mahir said

"Then what about my scooty?", Bela asked

"I'll ask my driver to get it ok?", Mahir said

"Okay", Bela said smiling and quickly sat in the car

There car journey was quite silent as Bela was already tired and she was looking out of the window and fell asleep slowly.

While Mahir was constantly stealing glances at Bela thinking of what just happened a few minutes back. His entire family was right, he surely feel something for her and now atleast when his heart is still beating fast being worried until he saw her face infront of him, he couldn't deny anymore.

He realised He Likes Her, way more than he hates her at the start. After all these thoughts he din't feel right marrying Anu just a day later.. to be precise in less than twenty four hours Anu would be his wife. He knows that she loves him and at such peak point he can't do anything which hurts her and moreover there both the families reputation would be under stake.

He just decided to go with the flow, and the flow which he knew would lead to Anu.

Next morning Mahir wokeup and when he came down he saw many people around, he knew this was the day he never wanted to come.. nor this is the bond he never wished to have.

"Mahir ji this is your outfit for today, Sumi aunty asked you to get ready fast.. we have to leave to the venue in a few hours", Bela informed mahir

"Where is maa?", Mahir asked

"She's down, a little busy.. don't worry she's fine, I'll not let her strain more", Bela said smiling genuinely

Mahir wondered how she knew what he was thinking at that moment. He was indeed a little worried about Sumi's health but listening to Bela's words he was actually surprised.

"Don't think too much, it's your marriage today.. I don't want the groom to have some weird dark circles while sitting near the Mandap", Bela said smiling sheepishly

"Very funny", mahir rolled his eyes

"Listen", Bela shouted when mahir turned to leave

"Ugh! Don't shout, I'm right here", mahir said

"Yeah yes, Sumi aunty strictly restricted you to work today.. so.. so I..", Bela tried to say

"So you what?", Mahir asked eyeing at her

"So I hid your laptop, don't shout at me coz Sumi aunty only asked me to do that.. don't worry I'll return it day after tomorrow morning", Bela said in a breath

"Maa!!, But why day after tomorrow?", Mahir asked annoyed

"C'mom mahir ji, today is your marriage.. then it's your reception tomorrow along with your first night.. so you will free that next day morning, so she asked me to give it day after tomorrow only.. you atleast won't work on your first night right, how tired you would be..", Bela said biting her inner lips to stop laughing

"Shutup Bela", mahir said looking away

"Arre mahir ji, chill there's nothing to get offended.. she would be your wife so isn't it obvious? Anyways before you yell at me again I'm leaving.. but you please get ready and come fast", Bela said and left from there

"My first night?.. She's really excited about it?.. Doesn't she feel the same which I feel for her?.. seems she's really happy with me marrying Anu, and here my thoughts still revolve around her even on the day of my marriage.. ugh! I hate myself for this", mahir roared in frustration

***

Few hours later everyone from Sehgal's family reached the wedding venue while Mahir is walking to and fro in his room lost in his thoughts.

"I don't feel right, but at the same time I feel I should let it go.. ugh! What's just happening to me?", Mahir sighed annoyed

"Bhai come, it's time now", kuhu said coming inside

Mahir just nodded and left to the place and sat near the Mandap. He saw Bela there who was checking everything and once done she came near mahir and gave him a genuine smile, it pierced his heart somewhere seeing her smile wide when he's sitting on the Mandap and gonna be someone's soon.

Whereas Bela was indeed genuinely happy for Mahir on his marriage, but she's also scared for Anu of how she would cope up with this angry man.

While Mahir's marriage made her happy, the though that she wouldn't come to Sehgal's Mansion anymore made her feel sad. She wondered how this family become this close to her in just a period of a month.

This isn't the first time she's working, she worked with many.. associated with many families but never felt this strong connection or that missing feeling with anyone before. Sumi, yuvi, kuhu treated her like there own family.. and not to forget she would even miss mahir and there silly fights.

Sighing, she looked at her phone where her assistant was calling and picking up she left the place.

"Bring the bride", said the pandit ji a few minutes later

"Ji", Sumi said smiling and left to Anu's room

Sumi just entered her room and saw Mrs. Mittal covering Anu's face with the veil and then looked at Sumi.

"Anu are you ready? Pandit ji is calling you now", Sumi asked

"Yeah she's ready Mrs. Sehgal, shall we go?", Said Mrs. Mittal smiling

Sumi nodded and taking Anu with her, they went down and made her sit next to Mahir. The pandit started chanting the mantras while yuvi was searching for Vish around.

"Where did Vish go now?", Yuvi sighed worried and left to search for her

Soon both Mahir and Anu stood up and took the seven phrases and sat back at there place.

"I don't feel right marrying Anu, should I just get up and run away? Ugh! Hell no, I can't do that.. then what do I do? Just let it happen, that's isn't right either", mahir though worried

His thoughts were disturbed and as said by the pandit Mahir took the sindoor and slowly forwarded his hand near Anu's forehead half-hearted, he slowly lifted her veil a little and was shocked finding Bela instead of Anu beside him.

Bela looked at him frightened, she went more anxious looking at his shocked expression. She din't know what to do, it was neither the place for her to explain him nor she can run away from him now.

Realisation hit him hard when he understood it was Bela till now beside him and not Anu. He din't know why this happened but somewhere he felt happy for it.

"Apply the sindoor Mahir", said Sumi smiling

Nodding his head, Mahir carefully applied the sindoor on bela's forehead and taking the nuptial chain he tied it around Bela's neck and sat straight in his place.

Both there heart's were beating fast, Bela was hell worried of what's gonna happen next while Mahir was not understanding what's happening now.

"You both are married now", announced the pandit making everyone smile genuinely

Mahir smiled internally listening to it but now all he wants is answers for so many questions running in his mind.
