Mahir's POV:

She was shocked to see me and also irritated.

I could see her facial expressions went from happy to sad.

But thankfully she let me in...

Looks like she felt a little concious because I was back to gawking at her...

Her hot shots gave me a lavish view of her long sexy legs 😍

Honestly....I was kind of turned on 🙄

She probably caught me scanning her and excused herself and came back wearing a jeans and a checker shirt.

But even with that she looked breathtaking 😍

Next second she asked me...

'Has Musky slept?'

I nodded a yes and went and kept the hot box on the table.

'Why are you here at this time? It's almost 9:30 in the night!'

I looked at her and asked...

'Plates???'

She narrowed her eyebrows and said...

'I asked you why are you here?'

'And I asked you for plates...2 plates and an get some raw onion please...' I smiled...

She huffed in anger and went to the kitchen got a plate and a sliced onion and banged it on the table.

'Now tell me why are you here and what is this!' she roared.

'Sshhhh softly... Musky...' I said pointing at my sleeping angel...

She breathed and said...

Fine!!!

And pulled me to the balcony...

And pulled the glass sliding door!

'Now tell!' she said...

'Paneer Biryani' I said...

'What???' she looked confused...

'I made paneer biryani so I thought to share some with you... hence the hotbox' I said...

'Thanks I'm not hungry!' she said...

'Shutup Bela... Biryani and fights are seperate topics! Come eat first then we can fight!' I dragged her hand...

She swatted her hand with a jerk and said...

'In your limits Mahir Sehgal! No one is interested in eating with you here! '

I went closer to her and pushed her to the glass door of the balcony and asked her...

'Why... You can go on lunch date with aasholes like those and can't have dinner with your husband is it!' i was gritting my teeth.

To which she laughed hysterically!

'Husband and you??? You really think I consider you that? We are here only for Muskaan get it? '

I breathed and said...

'Look Bela..it's all for Musky's sake itself...we have to bond atleast as friends... soon Musky will grow up... she's already a month old now! I don't want her to grow up seeing her mother and father have an abnormal relationship..so I suggest one meal of the day we eat with eachother..' I said...

To which she pushed me by the chest and said..
'You mean you want to lie to Musky about our relationship? See Mahir...this is the truth of our relationship! I don't want my child to live a life which is fake! She has to learn this is how her parents marriage is! I don't care if she thinks it's normal or not! But this is her reality! She must learn at a young age atleast then she will know to see people's true face and will be less hurt unlike me!' she said wetting her cheeks 😢

I looked at her..I went to touch her while she pushed me back...

'Behave Mr Sehgal!' she said and stepped away...

I was so pissed that in one motion I pulled her back into my chest...

'Mahir what are you doing?' she asked...

'Why when you dress up like a bomb and go to pub partying with random men, go for a lunch date with that bastard of a man, flirt with your new neighbor... what's the issue in having one time meal with your husband huhhhh?' I roared... squeezing her waist with my right hand.

She tried to my remove grip on her waist and screamed...

'Stop yelling at me! I don't want to get any closer to you or have a mend anything !!!' and started walking away...

'Would you do the same if Musky was your own child Bela' I said...

'Whattttt' she narrowed her eyes... which turned misty now dnd said...

'I have never thought of her as an aunt Mr Sehgal...she's my daughter since I gave her the warmth of my chest. And if it was my child I would just do the same. Truth is better than a hopeless lie. It may hurt a few minutes but people become stronger after that!' she yelled

'Is it just that or having dinners with me screws up your plans to have some intimate calls or date nights huhhh' I shot back...

She huffed!

'You are impossible!' and was moving away...

'You know na Sona I love you... I miss you... please eat well...I'll meet you soooooonnnn!'

I repeated her lines back to her like a parrot!

And shot her a fiery glare 😡

"Disgusting! You were spying on me?'

'Who's that bastard Sona of yours!' I screamed...

Next second she came to slap me...

I held her hand and pushed her to the wall and pressed my nose to hers.

'Enough!!! Hurts you so much??? What's he huhhh??? Tell me... Handsome??? Satisfies you even on phone is it?'

She pushed me so hard this time that I literally fell on one of her flower pots which broke.

'Every relationship is not like how you think Mahir Sehgal! Not everyone wants to sleep with random people get it?

And who are you to tell me huhh???

The same man who after calling me a whore without trusting me went and f**ked my own sister in that bloody farmhouse of yours????

Ohhh not just that slept with her so many times in these years that finally has an illegitimate chil'

'Shutup Bela' I screamed at my loudest!!!

I was raging like a lion and was so angry that I caught her neck.

'Not Muskaan Bela! Don't step on that one!'

She pushed me and coughed hard...

'Why???? Hurts ??? Truth can't be changed Mahir Sehgal!

Yesterday the man whom you doubted me upon..he is no one but my financial advisor... and he told me that Brinda Di was single.

So you know when people aren't married and they have children...even though you try to give Muskaan the Sehgal surname she is still an ill'

'She is not an illegitimate child Belaaaaaaa!' I said and punched into the balcony Glass door so hard that the glass broke into pieces...

Bela closed her ears in fear...

My hand was a bleeding mess!

'Mahhhir' she came running to check my hand...

While I heard Muskaan crying...

Maybe she got scared of the broken glass...

I saw Bela run towards Musky...

Just while she was about to pick her up..

I pushed her away...

'Not a step near my child Bela! My right hand was a mess so I picked her in my left hand and cooed her...

I kissed her forehead and adjusted her on my chest while blood flowed like water from my right hand.

Bela ran to get the first aid kit...

But I pushed her away when she came to bandage my wound...

In no time Musky slept and I placed her on the pram.

I kissed her forehead 😢❤️

I turned around and pulled the box from her hand and said...

'I never wanted anyone to know this... I stayed silent all this while because I didn't want people to call my daughter illegitimate! That's the reason I always gave my name in father's column in every sheet.

But...

The Truth!

Muskaan is ofcourse my daughter!

But not my blood!'

I said and Bela looked at me with pooled eyes and mouth wide open..

'She is the legitimate heir of Khanna empire...

Yes... she's legitimate child of Brinda and Souvik!'

I announced... while Bela collapsed on the floor...

'Your Brinda Di and Souvik jiju remarried each other without anyone's knowledge as they reconciled after three year's of seperation. Maybe seperation made them realize their love for each other. They married in a private ceremony. Souvik promised to marry Brinda infront of his dad and entire world but before that happened he committed suicide owing to debts and losses in his business. Seems like he was involved with drug mafia too. Before anyone could touch him or his family he committed suicide.

Your Di was 6 weeks pregnant then and wanted to abort the child...

I didn't let her do that!

I stood by Brinda... I lived in that Penthouse and she stayed here.

Musky became my responsibility since then. I was in love with Musky even before she was born!

She became the bond between us!

I was ready to give that love and care to Musky which she deserves from her uncle. Which gradually turned out to be a father daughter relationship between us.

Muskaan became my last hope to live after mom's death too'

I said and Bela was SHOCKED again hearing of mom's death.

'Sumi maa🥺' her voice broke...

'Last year... ' I said with a hoarse voice...

She broke down loudly crying her Eyes out...

'Muskaan is my child Bela... There is no illegitimate child Bela...there are only illegitimate parents! Incapable..😢

Musky may not have my blood but she will have my upbringing!

I'll make her a true Sehgal in every sense!!!

And ya...

Love in my life..

Know this once and for all...

Mahir Sehgal only loved one woman in his life...

Loved and lost...

You know what Bela this is what happens in life...

Sach kahu toh pyaar me aisa hi hota he...
Dil kabhi nahi samajhta...

Jis ek ko dil khona nahi chahta...
Asal me bas wahi ek uska hona nahi chahta!!!

(Truly this is what happens in love...
To that someone whom your heart doesn't want to loose...
That only one doesn't want to be yours!!!)

She kept looking at me and I marched out of her penthouse...

With eyes full of tears, A little piece of my heart my daughter sleeping in the pram and hand full of blood!!!

I could hear her cry...

But I couldn't stay there...

My heart didn't want to...

🥺😢
