2 months later...

Bela's POV:

(Looking outside her cottage towards the tall snowy mountains early morning...
While she hears a voice)

'Belaaaaaaaaaa....'

Oh God... This girl how many times to tell this girl not to call me with that name!!!

What if anyone listens!!!

I turned around to shoot daggers at my personal loudspeaker...

Who was now biting her tongue...

She cutely said 'Sorrryyyyy'

And a smile lingered on my lips..

And she hugged me giving me the coffee cup saying...

'Love you my dearest Gussel Naagin!!! (angry cobra)'

'Shutup Anaconda!!' I gave back

And she started laughing...

I turned around and started sipping my coffee while looking at the beautiful Sutlej river that flows opposite to my house at a distance which has a beautiful view...

Sutlej...the life of Shimla...

Shimla the city that gave new life to Bela Sharma...

No....sorry... Surbhi Sharma...

Thats what my employees know me here as... It was as per instructions from my Di and Jiju because of whom I'm alive today...

2 months past... yet everything was so fresh in my head...

Sometimes you can't forget a few people, few things because they are now a part of you...

Just like that one man I'm trying to run away from...

But then they say right...God has his own plans...

I can't forget him!!! But I have learnt to hate him!

Hate him from the bottom of my heart!!!

My every nerve, every ounce of blood!!! Every cell hates that man!!!

And I'll forever hate him till my last breath!!!

I'm glad i left Bangalore...

Shimla welcomed me with open arms... It's a beautiful city that has people with the heart of gold.

I'm the happiest because here now I have my little world without any blame game, without any tortures, without any questions, without rejection and no HEART ACHE or BREAK!!!

..I was hesitant to reach her first but then she is my only childhood bestie. She is from Shimla although was settled in Australia for 6 years... she came back just on one phonecall to not just begin the new plans I had for this business expansion but she came in leaving her lush salary only because she loves me...

She's my bestie Vishakha...in short Vish..my lady anaconda 🤣

She's not just my designer, my bestie or my roommate...she is that lifeline who has kept me smiling in this new city although Shaan Jiju and Anu Di call me everyday from London but managing responsibility of just 2 months old Bajaj Fabrics and Fashions (popularly known worldwide as BFF)  that too when your own sister and your brother in law.. I mean Mrs Anu and Shantanu (Shan) Bajaj are the owners of it and have immense trust in you...the responsibility becomes way more bigger!!!

But I'm glad we are slowly reaching there!!!

I and Vish have joined this job just a month ago and trying to learn new things in a new city beginning a new life altogether!!! Vish however it's home!!! Her parents were from Shimla however they lived a certain number of years in Udupi where I and Vish became buddies...we probably went to sane kindergarten, same school but after aunty uncle died in a plane crash she shifted to Australia with her granny. However our friendship still remained strong... We were not just childhood buddies, then classmates..we were soul sisters. Vish couldn't attend my wedding then due to her first fashion week coming up...she's a professional winter designer!!! She has her own clothing line called Vish-Khanna. I'm so proud of her...

I'm glad we are here in our own little world... I never want any past memories or shadows back in my life! No one!!!
That's why I made sure no one knows my name as Bela... My birth certificate had my name as Surbhi Sharma which however was later changed to Bela Sharma...so I chose to be called Surbhi Sharma so no one knows I m the same Bela Sehgal!!!

I had transferred all my shares of S&G Group of companies to Chaahat's name before I left Bangalore and Gulmohar was handed over to that man who's name as well I don't want to utter! Till my daughter turns 18 he keeps my shares and after Musky turns 18... My shares are transferred to my daughter!!! Also if anything happens to her except any terminal illness then all my shares go to Ishaani Di's foundation as a donation. With this clause I made sure whenever that man remarried my daughter and her future is safe as his would be wife will have to take good care of my Musky. 😌

'Bela your coffee is getting colder' Vish brought me out of trans...

I looked at her and smiled and sipped my coffee...

'By the way are you coming for today's Dandiya night? Saarthak is also coming and she winked 😉

I groaned and lifted my eyebrows...

'Please Vish... You know how much I hate that maida-boy 🤷' i told her getting frustrated...

She burst out laughing and spat her coffee...

'Come on... Bela... I mean sorry sorry Surbhi... Saarthak likessssa you remember' she said and I made a ewww face.

'I hate him..' while she chuckled...

'Come on Surbhi...he's a model yaar... Hot he is!!!'

'And a flirt and speaks 18+ shit and is annoying... and'

'And he likes you... He's already spoken to your sister Anu and Shaan... Anu wants you to marry'

'Vish please... ' I stopped her getting annoyed!!!

'This marriage... Love and shit! I wanna stay away from that mess!!!

And that maida-boy is a big No no!!!'
I said while walking back to our cottage...

I and Vish stayed in a 4 bedroom cottage-mansion that our company offered us. It had all the luxuries necessary. We had a gardener, a watchman, a househelp but all we both missed was a good cook.

Our cook had run away and we needed someone who could stay at home 24/7 to take care of our house and food. Specially as my health was delicate.

I was ...

Pregnant!!!

Yup...

I said right... Things and people don't leave you...they are always with you...

One such part was now growing in my womb and my family was worried for me!!!

When I say family now the only family who knows my whereabouts were Shaan Jiju and Anu Di.

Di wanted me to settle down and remarry Because I was pregnant and thst is the last thing I wanted to do!

Di was concerned because the office would have a hundred questions when they see my baby bump in future but i was confident that I'll handle it then!!!

But Anu Di and this man Saarthak Sickand seems to be way more interested in me!!? And Anu Di just keeps setting up embarrassing dates with this... annoying....

Saarthak !!!

What the 😏

Today as well was the Dandiya night... organised by his talent management company and he gave me and Vish free passes... Vish is coming with a random friend where as I am stuck this creature...

He's creepy...I see him watch me like a drooling dog and I hate that view 😠

But then Anu Di called me up again today morning .. Now I'm stuck!!!

***

I finished all my office work today before 7 pm... It's tough though!!!

Because I don't have a PA yet... I initially denied but the way work pressure built up I finally decided to keep one as even Di Jiju and Vish all three asked me...

So finally I asked Shaan jiju to hire a PA for me... I'm bad in taking interviews...

So maybe in a week or so I'll have an assistant... how I wish I get a cook too 🤷

I hate my morning sickness and this vomiting is now getting out of control...
Perks of pregnancy 🤷

I dressed up by 7 pm in one of dresses that Vish designed for me...

I was concerned as my stomach was revealing...

I knew this would probably be the last time I'm wearing a midriff revealing dress...soon the baby bump would be visible... A little already is but no one could guess much.

Soon Vish went dancing with her partner for the day a random friend leaving me with this creepy Saarthak...

Not before whispering... 'Chill...my eyes on you...if this 'What the' tries to do anything give me a miss call...I'll beat this maida-boy into batter' and I laughed loud...

In no time Saarthak started flirting with me and my head started aching...we were inside the party hall where as the Dandiya dancing happened outside in garden area in full swing...

Suddenly music stopped and a new song probably someone Started singing live...

🎵🎶

Ohooo...
Ohooooo....
Oooooooohoooo....ooohhhooooo....

Ohooo...
Ohooooo....
Oooooooohoooo....ooohhhooooo....
🎵🎶

But the voice sounded a little familiar...
My ears went alerted... I know this voice...

🎶🎵
Haan Karde Na Choti Moti Galtiyon Ko Maaf...
Itna Sa Bas Ehsaan Karde...
Karde Na Choti Moti Galtiyon Ko Maaf...
Itna Sa Bas Ehsaan Karde...

Tu Jo Hai Naraaz Meri Saansein Na Chale...
Maan Ja Tu Jeena Ye Aasan Karde...
🎶🎵

I couldn't help but excuse myself from the maida-boy started walking towards the doors that opened into the garden area...

And swung it open in one go...

🎵🎶
Tu Khol Mere Dil Ko Aur Le Le Talashi...
Koyi Bhi Milega Na Tere Siva....
🎶🎵

I went a little running and tried to see whose singing on the stage...

🎵🎶
Teeeeeeere Sivaaaaaaaa!!!
🎶🎵

This minute I felt my world stopped!!!

I saw a face I never wished to see again after 2 months 2 days and 20 hours and 40 minutes approximately 😳

My feet froze!!!

My eyes popped out of my socket...

My body shivered...

My lips parted in shock!!

He was here!!

The one

And the only

Mahir Sehgal!!!

🎵🎶
Teri Aankhon Mein Dikhta Jo Pyaar Mujhe....
Meri Aankhon Mein Bhi Tujhe Dikhta Hai Kya....
Teri Aankhon Mein Dikhta Jo Pyaar Mujhe....
Meri Aankhon Mein Bhi Tujhe Dikhta Hai Kyaaaaaa???

🎶🎵

And my world stopped!!!

And I'm back to hell !!!

Shit!!!
