The Only String Attached 2

BELA

I ran out of the room immediately.I saw the hurt in his face,but I was more hurt when he said awful things to me.

I'm not able to forget those words which he spitted on my face.

We both were so happy after our marriage.Leading our life's with joy and happiness.And after two years of our marriage,Mahira happened to us.

She came into our life like a God's gift!

At the initial days,it was difficult for us to look after Mahira.Because we both were working,my parent's took care of Mahira for a month,as Mahir's parent's stay in abroad.

It was very difficult for me and Mahir.Our work load was getting heavy from our own work departments and we couldn't leave Mahira all the time with our parent's.

We wanted to cherish each and every moment we spend with Mahira.We didn't want to miss this parenthood period.And it was my own personal choice to give up my job.

Me and Mahir,both are software developers.Mahir devoted himself for papa's company while I worked in another company.

He couldn't give up his job,and the only option left was my job.It was not a big deal for me,nothing is more important than my family.

We are wealthy enough to feed ourselves and our family,we just need time with our child.So I gave up my job,even after Mahir didn't agree.

And after making him understand,I gave up my job.Sacrificed my carrier for few years,for Mahir and Mahira.

But Mahir took that for granted,making us stand in this position today.

I covered my mouth and sobbed thinking about those days.I used to die every single day,muffling my cries and sobs.

I composed myself and took deep breaths,
"It's OK Bela..you can't get affected more..no..",I said to myself.

I used to get butterflies in my stomach when Mahir used to touch me.But now,I'm scared of his touch,fake love and affection.

And what do our loved one's do?

First they'll give you butterflies then mental trauma!

I was sitting in lobby and composing myself,I heard Mahira crying.I got up and went to our room.Mahir took her in his arms and she woke up looking at him.

"Mahira baby wakey wakey..good morning baby..",Mahir said kissing her.

He was clearly hurt,but still he is trying to act normal.

"Dadda..",Mahira said slowly rubbing her eye's.

She smiled at him and snuggled into him,making Mahir's face beam with happiness.The happiness which he missed in all these months.

"Mahira..",I said and went inside our room.

Mahir turned towards me with Mahira in his arms,
"She..she needs to have a bath",I said looking at him.

His eye's,they are looking like they just watered!

"Do you mind..if I give her a bath?"he asked.

"No..I mean..you don't know how to give a bath.I will take care",I said stepping forward.

"I..I do know how to give a bath to her.Please Bela",he said.

"Me..dadda bathy bathy....",Mahira beamed kissing his nose tip.

"O..OK..just be careful..so the soap doesn't get into her eye's and clean her tongue properly",I said.

"I know Bela..I will",he said.
