Mahir broke the kiss hearing his phone ringing.

Nyra realised what they were doing and she pushed him immediately and got up. She wore her slippers and was about to run towards the door when she heard his voice.

"Nyra ruko! Bahar kisi ne dekh liya toh problem ho jaayegi."

(Nyra wait! If someone sees you outside it will a problem.)

She stayed rooted to her place but did not look at him. He attended the call.

He held her hand while still talking on phone and carefully peeked out of the room. Seeing no one he let her go and she immediately ran from there.

Once she was out of his room's radar she slowed down and breathed heavily.

'Kya kr rhi thi tu ye Nyra? You kissed him. You kissed Mahir.'

She closed her eyes and sighed. She reached her room and Samaira asked her where she was. She dismissed the topic somehow and went to the washroom.

She leaned on the sink and looked at her face.

She splashed water on her face trying to forget the scene but nothing happened.

She could still feel him on her lips.

It was Haldi and they were given separate halls. Nyra was thankful that she didn't have to face him for the rest of the day. 

**************************************

The next day was Mehandi and just like the previous day Nyra was avoiding Mahir. 

He was trying hard to get to talk to her and clear out everything but she changed her direction even if she caught sight if him. 

The way she avoided eye contact and ran from him made him feel guilty. He felt as he took advantage of her.

**************************************

The next day was the wedding and so everyone was very busy.

Nyra was emotional because of Samaira leaving her and was feeling conflicted and confused about the incident with Mahir.

Mahir had expected her to atleast have fun during the Juta Chhupai but she did not even participate in that and sent Ayansh instead.

Mahir felt like killing himself. It was all his fault. He lost his control and ended up kissing her. But she kissed him back right? Or was he imagining?

During the Bidaai, Nyra was standing in a corner trying to control her tears. Samaira came to her and she cried in her arms.

Samaira teased her with Mahir's name and she whined and whimpered as the scene again played in her mind.

**************************************

The next was free so everyone completed their sleeps.

Nyra was thinking about Mahir.

'How am i ever going to face him after this?'

'Argh! Nyra! Ye kya kia tune?'

She kept thinking about it but couldn't come to any rational conclusion so she decided to sleep for some time and clear her mind.

**************************************

The next day Samaira was coming home for her Pag Phera ritual and Nyra was eagerly waiting for her.

She attacked her in a bear hug as soon as she came.

In the evening, Naksh was there with Mahir and two of their cousins to take Samaira back home. 

Nyra as usual was avoiding Mahir while he was continuously observing her.

He knew she would not talk to him like that. He had to do something twisted.

The tea was served in front of everyone and an idea struck Mahir.

'Chal beta. Aaj tujhe apne haath ki kurbani deni hogi.'

He thought and picked up the cup of tea. He pretended that the cup got disbalanced and the tea fell over his hand.

"Arre! Beta aaram se. Haath dholo warna chhale pad jaayenge. Nyra le kar jaa beta."

(Careful. Wash your hands otherwise you will get blisters. Nyra take him.)

Bhavna said and Nyra nodded motioning him to follow her.

'Thank God!'

He sighed and followed her. She took him to her room and he entered locking the door behind her which she didn't notice.

She showed him the bathroom and asked.

"Jyada laga kya?"

(It hurt a lot?)

She asked concerned when he was washing his hands.

"Hmm. Jyada hi laga hoga. Tabhi aise ignore kar rhi ho."

(It must have. That's why you are ignoring me.)

Nyra looked away and mumbled.

"Mai abhi aati hu."

(I'll just come.)

She started going away but he held her wrist and pulled her back. He caged her between him and the wall.

"Kyu avoid kr rhi ho mujhe?"

(Why are you avoiding me?)

He asked looking directly into her eyes. She averted her eyes from him and looked away.

"Why did you kiss me?"

She mumbled and he smiled at her innocent question.

"I agree i did kiss you. Lekin i was not the only one in the kiss. You kissed me back Nyra. Uss kiss mai jitna mai involved that utna hi tum bhi thi. Toh i can also ask. Why did you kiss me back?"

(You too were equally involved like i was.)

She knew he wasn't lying. He was not the only one to be blamed. Nyra gulped before answering.

"It was just in the heat of the moment."

He raised his eyebrows amusedly.

"Really?"

She nodded still not looking at him.

"Toh iska matlab that kiss meant nothing to you?"

She took a deep breath and shook her head biting her lip. He smiled and asked in a dangerously low voice.

"Iska matlab you won't mind if i kiss someone else?"

She looked at him wide eyed at his question but shook her head looking away.

'Why did it hurt to imagine him with someone else? Kissing someone else?'

He smiled and pulled her closer by her waist. She was shocked at his reaction. He leaned near her ear and whispered.

"Jab jooth bolna nhi aata toh kyu try krti ho?"

(When you don't know how to lie then why do you?)

He whispered huskily and kissed her near her ear.

She closed her eyes and clutched his shirt.

"I love you Nyra. I love you so much."

She opened her eyes and looked at him wide eyed.

"What? Tum toh aise behave kr rhi ho as if you didn't already know that?"

(You are behaving as if you didn't know it before?)

She continued to look at him trying to process what he just said.

"Mai aise hi kisi bhi ladki ke saath flirt nhi krunga Nyra. And most importantly i won't kiss anyone just like that. I thought you knew that."

(I won't just flirt with anyone like that Nyra.)

He said smiling and the only thing she could say was.

"Mahir?"

"Its ok. I know you are shocked. Take your time. Mai wait karunga tumhare answer ka."

(I'll wait for your answer.)

He kissed her head and left from there.

Nyra didn't know for how long she kept standing there.

When she went out the dinner was being served.

During the dinner, Mahir was continuously looking at her while she was lost in her thoughts.

After they left with Samaira, Nyra went to her room and slumped on her bed thinking about Mahir and his confession.
