Mistress novel Chapter 61

After one week

Author's p.o.v

It's been one week since Meher and Sehreyar are living together. In this one week, Meher has joined Sehreyar's office. She has joined as an architect. Her works are praised by Sehreyar and his clients very much.

In this one week, Sehreyar and Meher's relationship has improved a lot. Sehreyar is trying his best to win Meher's heart. He didn't leave any chance to take care of her. He never forced her again in anything. He is giving her enough personal space. He understood that his over possessiveness and anger can mess up everything. So, he has learnt to control his anger.

On the other hand, Meher's heart is also melting after seeing Sehreyar's gentle behaviour. She is also behaving with him civilly. Now, there is a light atmosphere between them. She punished him by starving just the way he used to punish her. She punished him making him stand under the sun the whole day just the way he used to punish her. She insulted him to her heart's content just the way he used to insult her.

And, most surprisingly Sehreyar took all the punishments silently. He knew that he deserves all this and to win Meher's heart he has to endure all this without any sound.

Meher couldn't resist herself after seeing Sehreyar's regretting self. Every time she is falling for Sehreyar's gentle behaviour and caring side. Deep down in her heart, she is already in love with Sehreyar. But, still, she can't just accept him. She is taking tests of him. She will confess her feelings that day when she will feel that Sehreyaer is really changed.

Right now, Meher is sitting inside a cafe with Mehrab in her lap. Mehrab is busy playing games on his mother's phone. He is now absent-minded towards everything.

" I am really sorry for being late," A lady voice said and sat in front of Meher on another chair.

Meher smiled and replied," It's ok, Haniya Ji. I have just arrived."

" So, what will you have? And most importantly what will our little Munchkin have?" Haniya asked Meher pulling Mehrab's chubby cheeks a little.

Meher replied softly," Umm. Coffee would be fine. And Mehrab will have a pastry nothing else."

" Ok. Let me order," Haniya said and gestured a waiter to come here. She gave the order where Meher is just sitting awkwardly.

Very soon their order was served and they started eating. Meher is feeding a pastry to Mehrab while she is drinking coffee. Haniya is also having a cup of cold coffee.

" You wanted to talk with me. What's the matter? Meher asked Haniya curiously.

Haniya replied taking a sip from the coffee," Yeah. I wanted to talk about Bhaiya. I wanted to ask that Bhaiya is behaving with you nicely or not?"

"Umm...everything is going well," Meher said meekly.

Haniya asked Meher directly," Do you love my brother?"

Meher became dumbfounded hearing Haniya's question. She is just looking at Haniya with her wide eyes. She isn't understanding she should confess in front of Haniya or not.

Haniya smiled looking at Meher's facial expression. She understood what's Meher thinking. As a woman, she can understand another woman's feelings.

Haniya held Meher's hand and said," Meher, I know my brother doesn't deserve any forgiveness for whatever he did. But, honestly saying, he loves you so much. He loves you like a crazy person. As a sister, I don't want to see my brother being heartbroken. So, I am requesting you to consider his feelings for once."

" I also love him," Meher confessed truthfully looking down and Haniya became too much happy.

Haniya said with too much happiness," I am glad that you understood my brother's feelings. Thank you so much."

" I am not saying anything to your brother because I am still testing him. I am testing he is really changed or not," Meher said and Haniya chuckled hearing her.

Haniya replied laughing," Test him more and make him regret for his misbehaviour. But, don't leave him. He will be broken without you."

" I promise that I won't leave him," Meher replied.

Then, Meher continued," And, I am really thankful to you that you forgave Adeel bhaiya and helped him getting bail. You are really generous that you accepted my brother wholeheartedly."

" Well, your brother has to present himself every week in the police station to fulfil some formalities of bail. And, about forgiveness, he deserves the last chance. Moreover, I love him," Haniya replied taking a breath.

Then, Meher chuckled and said," We are really weird. We fall in love with those persons who hurt us badly."

" Indeed we are weird. Actually, this heart is a weird thing. You won't understand when it will start beating for someone whom you aren't expecting," Haniya said laughing and Meher also joined the laughter.

After that, both the girls talked for some time about many things. They both made fun of their husbands and laughed. They spent quality time together.

The next day

Meher's p.o.v

"Don't let him go near the pool. I am coming back," I ordered the maid whom I have told to take care of Mehrab.

I heard her saying ok and then cut the call. I have to return as soon as possible. It's not safe to leave Mehrab alone when Sehreyar's dadi is at home. But, still, I am a working woman so I have to handle everything. 

I came to the office with Sehreyar to do some works. I have submitted another design and it was also highly praised by the clients. My works are appreciated in Architect society. Many reputed Architects has contacted me to join with them. I will join very soon.

I thought Sehreyar will be angry but to my utter surprise he supported me. He is supporting me in every aspect and trying his best to earn my forgiveness. He is trying very hard to win my heart. I have already forgiven him and accepted him. I will confess my feelings very soon.

I am now ready to get inside the car when I heard a male voice from behind. I became startled by the sudden voice.

" Why did you do all this? The voice said angrily and I turned my head behind.

I uttered surprisingly," Rehaan, You!"

" If you were planning to return to Sehreyar then why did you accept my proposal in the first place? He asked me angrily. I can see his disappointed face.

Hearing him I am understanding that he has already come to know about Sehreyar and me. I am now really feeling bad for him. I don't know how will I tell him that I love Sehreyar.

" I am sorry, Rehaan," I apologised lowering my head.

He snapped at me," I accepted you even after knowing everything about you. But, in return what you did? You played with my feelings. You are a pathetic woman."

" Rehaan, you can think whatever you want. But, whatever I have done is for everyone's well being," I replied taking a deep breath.

He asked me with a little bit of hope," Meher, I still believe that you aren't willingly living with Sehreyar. If he has threatened you then tell me. I will save you from him. You just have to say the truth."

Seeing his hopeful eyes I felt very guilty. I am feeling too much worse for him. But, I can't play with his feelings. I never loved him.

In too much anger and seeing Sehreyar being married to Sajal I decided to marry him. But, in reality, I never loved him because I have always loved Sehreyar.

" Sorry to say that you are not mistaken. I am living with Sehreyar willingly. But, I am really sorry Rehaan," I said lowering my head a little.

Hearing me he gritted his teeth in anger running his fingers through his hairs. He gave me a disgusted look but said nothing. He just turned his head to leave the place immediately.

Before leaving, he looked behind and angrily said to me," you are a pathetic woman. You don't have any self-respect. Sehreyar is the best choice for a woman like you."

" I did the right thing. Even if I married you, I wouldn't be able to love you. I saved you from a compromise type relation," I declared loudly.

He didn't say anything further though he heard my words. I am sure he is heartbroken. I just hope he will get over this heartbreak very soon.
