Exclusive: Mishti Maheshwari Spotted Brunching with Australian Tycoon Aaron Williams - Are Wedding Bells on the Horizon? Is something brewing between the two?

Everyone stared at the TV as a fan video of Mishti with Aaron Williams played. The sight of her with the Australian business tycoon eased the tension that had gripped them for days. One by one, they returned to their breakfast, reassured that Mishti was safe.

But Abir's eyes remained glued to the screen. A mix of disbelief and hurt washed over him. She hadn’t tried to contact him. She could have called, and he would have taken her anywhere she wanted. Yet, she chose to go alone.

The speculative headlines about Mishti and Aaron didn’t trouble Abir. He knew Mishti well and trusted her completely. He understood that she needed time alone, a break from everything.

Abir sighed, coming to terms with the situation. She would come back or reach out when she was ready. Until then, he would wait for her. He wouldn’t give up on her, no matter what.

After 2 weeks,

It's been two weeks since there's no message from mishti . The first thing I do in the morning is to check my phone , in hope of recieving any message from her .
Mishti's team also publicised a response to that news .
Anyways , I had just gotten back from the office when my phone rang. It was Ahaan.

"Yeah, Ahaan, make it quick. I'm exhausted."

"Bhai, please come downstairs quickly."

His voice was laced with worry, which immediately made me uneasy. God, what happened?

Still wearing my shoes, I hurried downstairs and saw everyone gathered in the living room. They all looked at me. Adhira, my maasi’s daughter, who had been staying with us for the past two weeks since her parents passed away, was there too.

Kyra, eyes red from crying, approached me. "Bhai, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" I asked, taking her into my arms. I glanced at Baba and Maa, who wore stern expressions. Ignoring their gazes, I guided Kyra to the sofa and sat her down, telling her to explain everything.

"Bhai, please don’t be angry. I need your help, please."

"Kyra, I won't be angry. But if you don't tell me now, I definitely will."

She nodded hesitantly, and I held her hand to encourage her.

"Bhai, I— I met this guy on Instagram in a group chat. We started talking, and slowly, I started having feelings for him, and he did too. Bhai, we were even doing video calls. But he photoshopped my pictures into nudes, Bhai. Bhai, it wasn't me. You trust me, right? Bhai, I can never do this. I know my boundaries, right? You trust me, don't you? Bhai, he did this because he proposed to me, but I told him to wait because I needed to ask you and Maa and Baba. But now he's blackmailing me just because I didn’t say yes to him."

She sobbed, gripping my hand tightly.

My fists tightened with anger. Who the hell was this bastard?

"Show me your phone and open the blackmail messages," I told her. She hurriedly handed me her phone.

I scanned the messages from that son of a bitch. My blood boiled. "Kyra, calm down. I'll handle this. What's his name?"

"Alex" she said

" Alex what Kyra " i asked while trying to keep my patience knowing how big this thing could go .

" I don't know bhai " Kyra said while lowering her head expecting her big brother to shout at her .

But I calmed myself down knowing  that my sister is still worried , me shouting at her will make it worse .

"What the hell Kyra tujhe uska surname bhi ni pta and tu usse baat krne lag gyi" ahaan retorded

" Exactly kyra , do you know how dangerous this is " Kunal angrily spoke to her

" Kyra , kya soch ri thi tu usse baat krte time " Kabir said

" Enough , she's already tensed okay and you three shut the fuck up ! ! Instead of trying to get away you guys are making her feel more bad . She made a mistake and I know she realised it "

They nodded .

I called kartik Bhai and told him everything as there's a friend of him who's very good at hacking .
So we can get some info about this fuckin a$$hole .

By the time , abhimaan was here too . He called Tia knowing that she too is good at hacking .

Tia and kartik bhai's friend , sahil worked together separately .

We all were waiting while mummas and papas were with Kyra . She needs them now .

" It's difficult because we can't hack the system . It's protected with a customised software " Tia said looking at me .

"Exactly , we can't even track him . The coding , software is protected " Sahil said while keeping his eyes fixed at the screen

Abhimaan looked at me .
While I'm trying to figure out another way .

Karan uncle , Meera aunty (mishti's parents ) and maa baba were here now with Kyra .

" Tia call mishti " abhimaan told tia .

" You know about her whereabouts?" I said questingly because she told me that she don't know either .

" She always knew abir but she won't tell us . She's too loyal" abhimaan said staring at me.

" Sir I'm sorry  mishti ma'am told me to not to disturb her "

" But we need her now . Call her Tia" Karan uncle said ordering tia

She nodded and dialled her .

" Ma'am they need you . You have to come to sort this " she said and explained everything to her .

Abhimaan then told me that now only mishti can find who this alex is because she knew underworld . And it would be easy for her .

I'm definitely not shocked after knowing she had contacts in the underworld. 

Suddenly , Tia's phone rang and I knew it was her .

" Tia send me each and every fuckin details of that motherfucker" .

Damn her authoritative voice .

" Yes ma'am, right away . But we are not able to track him "

" You just send me whatever you have . I'll find this little shit "

" Okay ma'am "

" Tell Kyra to not worry about nothing is going to happen . Us bkl ke kuch krne se phle vo khd hi marega mere hatho"

She said while cursing that bastard . Well he deserves it .

What she doesn't know is the phone is on speaker and everyone hears her !

Well kch galat nahi kaha meri sweetheart ne .

After 6 hours ,

We were trying to determine if Alex had ever attended any luxurious events. The customized software he used to blackmail Kyra couldn't have been affordable for a middle-class man. He had to be rich. As we dug deeper, a commotion came from the lounge.

She stormed into the house, dragging Alex by the collar. She looked fierce, her leather jackrt accentuating her determined stride.

~Mishti's outfit~

Mishti, my girl, had found him.

"Kyra, yhi tha," she said, shoving Alex forward.

Kyra looked scared, tears in her eyes as she glanced at Alex. Mishti's gaze was steely.

"Aankhein neeche, Alex," she commanded.

"Kyra, tell me, is he the same?" she asked.

Kyra nodded, her fear palpable.

"Okay, enough," Mishti said, pulling out a gun from her waist and pointing it straight at his forehead.

"Now, you tell me why you did all of this. And if you can't tell me, then I must tell you that I kill people aggressively, and I don't even regret it."

"You can't kill me, Mishti, I know," Alex retorted, trying to sound brave.

She pulled him closer, tightening her grip on his collar.

"Oh, I can, my darling. You and probably all these people don't know me."

He gulped, his bravado fading.
"I love her, and she rejected me."

"So, you will blackmail her? Huh? You know what, let me call your brother. He should know what this loser sperm of his father is doing."

She dialed a number and said, "Come to Rajvansh Mansion right now, otherwise it won't take me a second to kill your brother. And trust me, I do not lie. You have ten minutes."

She hung up and looked at Alex.

"Stand away in that corner with your eyes down. If you look away or at anyone, then my sweetheart, you know what I can do, right? Or do you want to see a trailer?" She rubbed one finger on the gun.

I suddenly felt a surge of heat. God, shut up, brain.

I moved towards that bastard, ready to kill him, but she held my hand. "Let his brother come first, Abir," she said.

I nodded, my eyes still locked on Alex. This wasn't over.

Mishti went outside to make a call, and exactly ten minutes later, she returned with a man following her.

"And you know what, Mr. Blackwood? Your brother blackmailed my sister by threatening to leak her photoshopped pictures," she said, her voice icy.

"What?" Mr. Blackwood responded, clearly shocked.

"Brother, don't trust her, she's lying," Alex tried to defend himself.

"You know what, you little shit?" Mishti snapped. "I told you to keep your mouth shut, and you didn't, so have this."

Saying this She shot him straight in the leg in front of his brother.

Everyone stood shocked there seeing her shooting him .

"Mishti, please, at least don't shoot him," Mr. Blackwood pleaded.

"The least I'm doing is shooting him. Otherwise, I want to kill him, Blackwood. Your brother doesn't deserve to live."

Mr. Blackwood looked at Alex, then at us, his eyes finally locking with Adhira, who stood beside me.

Wait, did they know each other? No, it couldn't be.

Breaking the eye contact, he turned back to Mishti. "Mishti, let me have a talk with him."

"Yes, a talk. You don't have much time because me and the men present in this room don't have a good history of keeping patience," she replied, her tone sharp.

He nodded and walked towards his brother. "What the heck did you do, Alex?"

"Bro, I love that girl. I thought if I blackmailed her, maybe she would tell me about her feelings. You know she's an introvert, so I thought maybe she's scared of telling me," Alex explained, desperation in his voice.

"Alex, you've gone mad. You don't blackmail girls. It's her decision if she wants to be with you. And if she says yes now, I’ll be the first person to tell her she doesn't deserve a shit like you. If you love her, you need to respect her." He slapped his brother hard.

"Now go and apologize to her and give me your phone," he ordered.

Alex looked at us, then at Kyra. He didn't come closer because Mishti had told him not to and his leg was bleeding.

"Kyra, I love you. That's why I did all this. Trust me, I thought you would tell me about your feelings too. But I get it now, you don't feel anything for me. I'm sorry for whatever I've done. I ruined your peace. I'm sorry." Tears flowed from his eyes as he spoke.

"Mr. Jefferson, come inside and take Alex to the hospital," Mr. Blackwood called out.

"Wait. You think that just because your brother apologized, I’ll leave him? Fucking big no. I won’t leave him easily," Mishti snapped.

"But, since he's the same age as Kyra and made a mistake he realizes, we can let Kyra decide what she wants to do with him," Adhira said, looking between Mishti and Blackwood.

There was definitely something between Adhira and Blackwood.

"Fine by me," Mishti agreed,

"Kyra, you decide. And Mr. Blackwood, I’m warning you and your brother to stay away from my family. If I see either of you near my family or sisters, I’ll unleash hell on whatever mafia you're in. And you know I’m capable of it."

"But I’m already associated with one of your sisters, Ms. Mishti," Blackwood replied.

Mishti's eyes narrowed with irritation. We were all shocked by his statement.

"What are you saying, Blackwood?" I demanded.

"Aarohi is my girlfriend, Mr. Rajvansh. That makes me associated with your sister."

"My god, this is so personal. I'm done, I'm leaving," Mishti said, storming outside.

I turned to Aarohi. She nodded. "I was going to tell everyone, but this came up."

"But I want your brother Alex to stay away from Kyra. I still don’t agree with your relationship with Adhira"

"You think I need your permission to date Adhira, Mr. Rajvansh?" that arrogant Blackwood said, his voice dripping with defiance.

"Of course you do. Right, Adhira?" I shot back, glaring at him.

"Yes, you need permission from Bhai," Adhira confirmed, her voice steady.

My girl !

He looked at her for a moment, then turned and took his pathetic brother with him. I watched them leave, my jaw clenched.

"I’m going to check on Mishti," I announced, already heading toward the door.

I rushed outside, my heart pounding. I couldn’t let her go again.

This time,
I would be there for her.
I wouldn’t let her face anything alone.
