The whole night, Nyra thought a lot about everything and after a huge and deep conversation with herself she came to the conclusion that she did love Mahir a lot.
How can she not? He has always been so respectful towards everyone, he did flirt with her a lot but had never crossed any boundary. He had intentionally teased her by coming close to her and touching her but it was never inappropriately and he never made her uncomfortable.
And most importantly, he handled all her tantrums and mood swings. He knew how to handle her when she was acting stubborn or was angry.
She had her father's anger which only a few people could handle and Mahir was one of them. He knew how to calm her down and lighten her mood.
So she had decided not to waste anymore time and tell him about her feelings.
She took her bag and started off to his office to surprise him and confess her love to him.
She reached his office and entered the building with a huge smile. It was the first time she was visiting his office.
She was looking around everything when she heard the receptionist call her.
"May i help you mam?"
She turned towards her with a big smile. She was just too happy today.
"I would like to meet Mr. Mahir Khurana."
"I am sorry mam but Sir isn't in the office right now."
"Oh! Umm- any idea kitni der mai aayenge?"
(When will he be back?)
The receptionist checked the watch and said.
"Half an hour mai aate honge mam."
(He would be here in half an hour mam.)
"Its fine. I'll wait in his cabin."
She said and started going to the elevators. She knew where his cabin. She knew every location in his office thanks to him.
"Excuse me mam. I am sorry but i can't allow you to go to Sir's office like that."
Nyra smiled politely at her.
"Its fine. Wo jaante hai mujhe. We are family."
(He knows me.)
"Sorry mam but i can't."
She was about to say something when she heard someone say.
"What is happening here?"
She turned around to see a man of around her age standing there.
"Sir, mam Mahir Sir se milna chahti hai. I told her that he is not here and i can't allow her in his cabin but-"
(Mam wants to meet Mahir sir.)
"Its ok. I know her. She is Mahir Sir's family."
He said and showed Nyra the way. Nyra was as to how the man knew her.
"I am Mahir Sir's PA mam. Sir ne bataya hai mujhe aapke baare mai."
(Sir told me about you.)
He smiled politely and Nyra smiled back.
She entered his cabin and observed it. It was simple yet sophisticated. Just like him.
She went near his desk and smiled seeing a picture of his family on one side and a picture of her and him.
She picked it up and smiled at it. It was a selfie that she clicked the day they were going swimming the first time. She was smiling widely and he was looking at her with a soft smile on his face.
She smiled remembering the memories of the day.
She was admiring his cabin when he entered in hissing in pain.
He froze seeing her there. He looked away, rubbed his eyes and then looked back at her.
He went near her and poked her cheek while she looked at him trying to understand what he was doing.
"Tum sach mai yaha ho?"
(You are really here?)
"Nhi mera bhoot khada hai. Ye kaise sawal tha?"
(No my ghost is. What kind of question was this?(
She asked folding her arms in front of her chest. She thought he would be happy to see her but he was behaving weirdly.
"Nhi kuch nhi."
(No nothing.)
He mumbled looking away. She seemed to realise something and smiled naughtily. She went close to him and teased him saying.
"Tum mujhe imagine krte ho?"
(You imagine me?)
He looked away and mumbled something under his breath. She bit her lip and asked.
"Kya imagine krte ho?"
(What do you imagine?)
He looked here and there and stuttered.
"K-Kuch nhi."
(N-nothing.)
He couldn't tell her what he imagined or she is going to kill him.
Nyra stared at him open mouthed as she realised and said.
"Nevermind."
He nodded and that's when Nyra noticed something.
"Mahir! Khoon."
(Blood.)
She held his hand and pulled him down a little and examined his shoulder. His shirt was red from blood.
"Wo ghar se nikal raha tha toh neighbourhood mai construction chal rhi hai. Seedi gir gyi thi."
(Construction was going on in neighbourhood. A stair fell.)
"Seedi mai keel thi kya?"
(Was there nail in it?)
He shrugged his shoulders and she looked at him as if he mad.
"Tumhara dimaag kharab hai Mahir. Baitho idhar. Khoon nikal rha hai. Deep cut hua toh?"
(You are mad Mahir. Sit here. You are bleeding. What is its a deep cut?)
She said and dragged him to the sofa and he just looked at her lost in her.
She asked him about the first aid box and he told her still looking at her enjoying her care.
She got the first aid box and rummaged through it for cotton and antiseptic.
"Shirt utaro."
(Remove your shirt.)
She ordered him and he pretended to be shy.
"Kya bol rhi ho Nyra? Abhi hamari shaadi bhi nhi hui hai. Itni kya jaldi hai?"
(What are you saying Nyra? We are not married yet. What is the hurry?)
He said and looked away pretending to be shy. He looked at to see her looking at him with a bored expression.
"Shirt utaro."
(Remove your shirt.)
She ordered again and he said.
"Ab tum sure ho toh thik hai."
(If you are sure then fine.)
He started removing his shirt but hissed as it hurt to move his shoulder.
She looked at him concerned and helped him remove his shirt. Mahir saw her leaning over him and he pulled her on his lap.
"Easy rahega."
(It will be easy.)
He said when she looked at him wide eyed. She hid her blush behind her hair and examined his shoulder trying not to look at his naked chest.
Mahir was enjoying looking at her from so close. He tucked her hair behind her ear because they obstructed his view and their eyes met for a brief second before Nyra again concentrated on his wound.
It didn't look like a deep cut but was not so small either.
"Tumhe ye feel kaise nhi hua?"
(How did you not feel it?)
She mumbled as she cleaned it carefully with cotton and antiseptic.
"Dhyaan hi nhi gaya. Office mai enter hua toh pain start hua."
(I didn't pay attention. Pain started as i entered the office.)
He hissed lightly when she touched his wound. She hissed with him and mumbled a sorry.
She softly blew on the wound and cleaned it simultaneously.
Mahir was continuously observing her face. Concern could be clearly seen on her face and love in her eyes.
"Tetanus lagwa lena. Infection ho skta hai warna."
(Get tetanus. It could be infected otherwise.)
She mumbled now applied ointment on it.
