Hahaha!
My insides are laughing hysterically at his expressions!
"Bela!!", He stood up amazed.
"What!? You should be paid back properly..!", I said still trying to control my laughter.
"Bela..this is not done!", Mahir.
"Oh! So that was done!?", I said pointing to his bet.

Dad was laughing on how I dominated the situation. Mahir's dad was smirking.
Mom, "Bela...take him to the room. He needs rest.", I swear Mom was trying to support him.
"Not now! What if he tries to escape!?", I said with my hands folded.
"Tie him with something!", Vyom suggested.
"Hey! I saw some ropes in the storeroom.", Suhani beemed.
"But what if he still manages to run!?", Mahir's dad said.
"I think we should close all windows and ventilators of his room!", Dad suggested.
"Yes! And we should install a CCTV in his ro....", I got interrupted..
"Oh hello!!!", Mahir looked at us with an annoyed face, "Am I a criminal or what!!!?? Aunt please come with me...I don't trust these people!"

Mom nodded and took him to his room leaving us behind.
"Bela! We need to be careful with him. We need to know what is going on in his mind. Then only we can do something for him.", Dad said.
"Yeah! But wait you all must be having your classes. Your holidays are over!", Pratham nodded on Mahir's dad question.
"Okay then you all should go with Mahir tomorrow morning. However, make sure you all don't leave him alone anytime!", Dad said.

Mahir's dad thanked my dad for his help all these days. More than that, the two have become more of a friends. Difficult times make better relationships. That's what dad said. They decided they'll buy a big apartment with at least five rooms, so that we all can stay together. For Mahir also, and for each other too!
Dad and Mahir's dad left to see the apartment with Vyom and Pratham. Suhani stayed with us and will leave tomorrow with us. I asked her to take rest because she seemed very tired. Moms too were in the kitchen to make something for Mahir. So, I left with nothing thought to see Mahir once more.

I went to his room, one of our guest rooms. He was sleeping peacefully, with a duvet covering him. His soft hairs blowing with the air that came through the window.
I entered the room, slowly closing the door behind me, careful to not disturb him. I walked near the bed and slowly took a place near him.

God knows the bounds of my love for him! No matter how much I denied that one feeling, it intensified every time.
I always needed someone who would shower his love on me like my dad does, like my mom does, like my grandma did, like Suhani on me. But seeing the world, all I could feel was disappointment. My need is too impractical to be fulfilled.
But then came him! Brain always warned to be cautious but heart gave in. He did shower his love on me. And I lost myself in him. Unless I came to know about something, I'll hate to know. He tried to persuade me but I didn't had the courage to be broken again. Somewhere, I knew his eyes are not lying but my brain always refused to him. Mistakes once done become lessons. And mine was the matter of heart!
When I felt I'll lose him, all my love resurfaced again. I felt vulnerable without him! My heart cried on knowing what he actually went through in his life.
And now I want to heal him, to give him life.
I know I can't live without him and I have to care for him.
The BET I did on him was a counter attack to his BET. I don't want him to feel that I gave in because he tried to suicide. I want him to earn it, so he'll be proud of himself.
I promise you Mahir Sehgal, I will make things work for you. I'll make you hopeful again! I'll make you feel loved again. I'll make sure I don't grant myself to you but I will become yours for life! I will love you forever and ever!.....
"You're staring...!", My trance broke by his voice. I found him wide awake and looking at me with a frown.
Had it been typical Mahir, he would be smiling because I was staring.
"Yeah! I am...I am thinking of tricks to win MY BET!", I smirked at him.
He sat up at once, "Bela! Your so called BET, is not good for you. You said I'll propose you for marriage. I would have loved to do this if I didn't realize what misfortune I am! Believe me, you'll regret over me, like you did before!", he looked down while saying this.
Instead of sympathizing with him, which I know he hates, I tried to be harsh!
"Oh! Like I care! You did it because you wished to. Now I am doing it because I wish to! Simple!", I said settling myself.
He smiled, "Like I don't know you!".
"Yeah! You really don't know me. You have seen my love, my hate but not my other sides! I too can play around! Just wait and watch!", I blinked at him.

Just then mom came in the the Tomato Pasta, she was making for Mahir. That's his favourite.
"Yeah! Feed him properly. He needs energy to bear me!", I laughed as mom shushed me.
He had food silently, trying his best to avoid me, or rather control himself from loving me!

I then went to my room and brought something which I thought I'll give him when he returns, and yes! A bigger surprise. But this needed him to be alone. Right now everyone was around her, so I thought I'll sneak in his room at night.

At night, I saw everyone leaving to there rooms, but then Suhani came in my room saying she'll sleep with me. I nodded and she came in. Now I was waiting for her to sleep.

After irritating me for two long hours, she finally slept. I took a sigh of relief and then tip toed to his room. I feared he must be sleeping now, but rather he was standing near the window, probably thinking of this sudden turn of events.
He didn't notice me, so I played naughty.
I went and cupped him from behind, holding his shoulders tight, so he couldn't turn.
I feel him shuddering under my sudden touch, "Bela! What is this!?"
"How did you know it's me!?"
"Who else will jump over me like this!", I laughed at this.
"Why are you here!?", He turned me so I was now facing him.
"I think you forgot, but it's my house! I can be anywhere, anytime!!", I said sitting on the window, but he held me by waist, making sure I don't fall.
"I am saying why with me!?!?", He cleared.
"Wanted to give you something!"
"What!? I don't want anything!"
"I am not asking whether you want it or not! I am giving it, so you have to take it!", I said authoritatively.
"And what it is?!", He asked and I gave him box wrapped up like a gift.
He used his free hand to open it, and I too helped him.
It was a phone.
I switched it on for him.
"I have added all your contacts I know. You can make your Google account, so everything will be retrieved. And yes! I have added all our lovey-dovey pictures in it. Plus, I made sure all your favourite apps are in it. That fitness one also! And yeah your favourite songs!", I stopped when I see him looking at me intently.
"Bela! You'll hurt yourself again!", He said with a worn out expression.
Instead of answering him, I came in between the room, and started taking off the hoodie I was wearing over my top.
"What are you doing Bela!?", He frantically reached and stopped me.
I swayed away his hands and then removed my hoodie. I hear him taking a sigh of relief seeing the top.
"From when did you become so innocent!?", I asked him smirking.
"I was...!", his voice seized as his eyes drifted towards my neck.
Eyes popped out!
Jaw on the ground!
Yes! I wanted this reaction!
I was wearing that same pendant, I found in his jacket that day. 'Mahirbela' shining like it was happy I wore it, and heart glimmering in the chain. I hid it behind the hoodie because I wanted to keep it just to myself. And him.
"Oh my God!", He looked at it and then at me, "How!!?", He was still in shock.
"I have a good habit! Whenever I buy a gift for someone, I give it to them, rather than keeping it to me because of greed!", I smirked tauntingly.
