The Only String Attached

BELA

It's another day and still feeling empty without him. Mahira is also doing good without him, but still she was not active as before.

I was preparing dough to make breakfast and Mahira was sitting in front of me, looking at my actions.

"Mumma", she called me, dipping her hands in the flour box.

"No baby. No touching",I said but she was giggling.

Mallika didi was making juice in kitchen and we heard our doorbell ringing.

Mallika didi opened the door and Vish came inside beeming at us.

"Mahiraaa", Vish squealed in excitement and stood in front of her.

"Vishiiii", Mahira said powdering some flour on her face.

I was stunned. I bursted out laughing looking at her face. Now Vish was looking like a vamp in that black dress and white flour on her.

Mahira and Mallika didi also started laughing looking at her.

"Oh god. No doubt, only Mahir's genes can irritate me like this",Vish said looking at Mahira.

"Vishii",Mahira crawled to her and Vish took her in her arms.

"You will do this to your Vishii"?Vish asked nuzzling her face on Mahira.

Both were giggling and Vish took a selfie of them.

"Go and clean....clean.. yourself",I said still muffling my laugh.

"Bhootni. Your chance will also come",Vish told me putting Mahira down.

I showed my tounge to her. She came back all freshed up.

"What are you making"? Vish asked looking at me.

"Can't you see babes, I'm preparing dough",I said.

"Wife duty mode",Vish said.

"Shut up. It's mumma's duty",I said.

"Ooh, then what is the progress of wife duty Mrs.Mahir", she said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Shut up Vish",I glared at her.

"I mean.. you are sleeping together, kissed once..., no twice...no no can I make it thrice", she said.

"Vish shut up. Mallika didi is still here",I whispered.

"So what? He is your hubby and you are his wifeyyyy", she said.

"No one can change you Vish",I said and went to kitchen.

We had our breakfast and Mahira was watching rhymes in her iPad.

"So"?Vish said.

"So",I said confused.

"Kissi wissi haa", she said.

I was blushing now.

"I made a mistake telling you",I face palmed.

"Arey to whom will you tell then"? she said.

"OK,we kissed. Happy"?I said.

"I'm damn happy", she said.

"Did he tell about his feelings"? she asked.

I sighed in disappointment.

"Um..no, not yet. I don't know what he feels exactly. He wants to tell something,but he never says anything",I said.

"He will tell soon Bela. He is moving on from his past. And it's not easy to forget our first love", she said.

She is right. It's not easy to forget our first love. I'm the living example.
