Mishti :)

The terrible incident flashed in front of my eyes, I jerked off my sleep. Seeing the wall of the house, I realized it was my room.. I felt a sharp pain in my head, I wasn't able to move my right hand properly.

My eyes moved down to see whether anyone was present in the room or it was me only. My breath stuck, I saw the person I didn't expect to be there , I didn't want his presence around me . Adrene. He was sitting on a small chair near my bed, his eyes glued to his phone screen. I looked around, there was no one else ..

How did I reach here? How is Papa? Is he fine? Where did Abir go?  He was the one who saved me. Then how did Adrene reach here?

I blinked my eyes , I put myself in a big trouble. Adrene must have gotten to know that I went to meet papa. Hell! I wasn't supposed to share a good bond with any of my family. Shit! I thought to close my eyes and pretend like I was sleeping, but he saw me..

"Hey sweetheart, are you feeling good? " He asked me in a soft voice, my lips thinned as I smiled forcefully giving a nod.. "How are you here? I mean won't it be a problem if my family finds out about your presence here? " I asked him, the only way I could know about my family members and papa.

His eyes became doubtful, "Your family won't come here, your father has been hospitalized. So everyone is there! " Hearing those words, I became terrified. A lump formed in my heart, I felt restless. But I didn't show any of my emotions because it would create a mess.

"Why did you go to meet your father? " he asked me, making a straight face, he had a big doubt on me, I gulped.. "I went to him, umm.. I need a large amount of money . So I wanted to take some money in the form of a loan! So  I personally went to discuss it with him! " I lied, his eyebrows furrowed.. He put his palm in the back of my head and tightened his grip around my hair , making me wince in pain..

"Sweetheart, if you needed money, you could have contacted me! Just tell me the truth! " he roared, my blood boiled in anger. My jaw hardened, even though I felt difficulties I sat down and pushed him away.. "If you don't trust me, just stay away! " I shouted back, his nose flared up in danger. He was about to come close when I pointed my index finger at me..

"I don't care who the hell you are, don't forget that You are talking with Mishti Agarwal. And I fucking don't give anyone the rights to talk with me in that tone, mind it. Stay in your limits! " I spat back, my fingers curled around the bedsheet in a tight grip.. He smirked, his lips twitched into a smile of amusement, like he was impressed..

"And about my father! I don't give a damn to him. I actually needed some money and if you don't have any trust in me, I can throw the paper on your face. And about you, I could have asked you for money . But don't forget that if you send a huge amount of money, your dad will be the first one to know about it. Then he would have known about us! That's why I didn't ask you, " I said in full confidence..

Neither I was in need of any money, nor I had any papers to show him. But it was all about my confidence which made him believe in me. His facial expressions changed, he sat down beside me on the bed and pulled me in a hug. Already his presence was suffocating me, and this damn hug made me feel disgusted. I simply pushed him away and stared at him with anger filled eyes .

"It actually broke me that you don't trust me. Nobody does, but I thought you were different. But anyway, people can never understand me! " I said, I was feeling proud of myself for maintaining such a fake scenery. "I am sorry for doubting you. See, put yourself in my position. You belong to our enemy family, how can I trust you. Just yesterday I told you that your father's life is in danger and today you went to meet him. So what would I do? " he asked helplessly..

"Oh ho! Adrene Jackson. Just let me tell you one thing, I don't have to put myself in your place. Because look at me, you belong to my enemy family as well . You can also catch me to blackmail my family or use me against my family . But see, I trust you. But you know what, you don't deserve my trust, " I shouted, Abir has told me to keep everything real.

Buttercoating will worsen the situation, so I talked with him the way I should without any fake ascent and unnecessary melodrama.. "See, I am sorry. It won't happen again. I am really sorry.. I trust you, " he said, I let out a deep breath..

"By the way, You know who saved you? " he asked me, this bastard still has doubts about me. But I have done a PhD in making my own theories and lies..

"When I got to know that the break was not working, Papa just jumped out of the car without even caring for me. I can't believe, I got a father like him, " I sighed in distress, my manipulative voice was actually working on him. "And then I thought about jumping out of the car, so I opened the door. A car came and broke the door. After taking a turn it came and pulled me out of the car. I couldn't see his face, because he was wearing a mask! And then I lost my sense! " I explained..

"It must be you right? Otherwise who will save me from such a deadly accident! " I said mockingly, he looked at me and then nodded like he actually saved me.. Bastard! "Yah, the moment I got to know that you are in the car, I went to save you! " he said, how sweet of you..

How can people tell such lies? But then I looked at myself. I was doing the same. Lol.

"Now will you go? I need to change my clothes! " I said, he nodded and left the room.. I went to open the door, there's no phone in my room. I needed to contact someone.. My right hand was hurting a lot, I needed to know how I ended up here. Damn it.

Someone jumped into my room through the terrace window making me flinch. "Who are-" I paused, it's Abir. His face filled with worries and concern , I walked to him. He held my left hand and pulled me into his embrace. Now my home felt like home.. I was feeling so helpless before, now when I saw him I felt relieved..

He buried his face in the crook of my neck, I clutched his shirt tightly. He has such a broad figure and I felt small in his embrace, but it felt perfect..

"I am sorry! " he apologized to me after breaking our hug and started brushing my hair, wiping it away from my face. He was looking so restless and scared. "You have to handle this jerk for all this, I am sorry I am not able to help you out, " his constant apology was melting my heart. "It's okay, relax! I am okay now! " I said, he sighed..

He held my hand and tried to bend my elbow, but I pulled my hand back, because it was hurting.. "Don't worry, you will be fine! " he assured me, a small smile crept over my lips seeing him feeling concerned about me. "Papa is in hospital, everything is okay right! "

"Oh that! You don't have to be worried. He is completely fine, just a small scratch on his shoulder. I shared the fake rumors to Adrene saying your father is hospitalized. Don't worry , he is doing fine! " I felt so relieved after hearing about papa's condition. My family won't visit me here, because this Adrene is here .

"How did I end up here? You were the one who saved me! " I stated, he made me sit on the chair. "Actually it's Adrene who told me about the break fail thing , he told me to save you. The moment he got to know that you were in the car, he told me to save you. Don't know what would have happened otherwise ! " His voice faded away, I bit my lower lip.

"And after I took you to the hospital, he took you here. I was helpless. " He informed me.. I sighed. I was so done with this mission. I want to run away from it, but it's not just about me. Two families are included. "Give me a minute, I will come back after changing my clothes! " I said and went to the washroom taking a suitable pair of cloth which won't affect my hand injury..

I somehow managed to remove the clothes and wore the short pants, but I felt difficulties when it came to my top wear, like the buttons were above my two shoulders and without bending my hand I couldn't do it. I couldn't bend my hand either, and it's not just about one button. Four buttons at each side. I placed the top around me making sure it won't get loose.

"Hey Abir, will you help me? " I asked him & sat down on the bed. He first stared at me hesitantly, then decided to help me. His one hand wrapped around my neck , he decreased the distance between us.. While buttoning up, his face was so close, my fingers grabbed the bedsheet in a tight fist.. My breath was falling on his cheek while his hot breath was falling on my neck..

"Ouch! " I mumbled in a low tone, his fingers brushed against the bruises of my hand.. Our eyes met, he realized how close we were. I held his gaze and moved closer.. "Carefully, " I whispered , he nodded and after a few seconds he was done with the work.. He was about to move back, but I grabbed him by holding his shirt near the collar.

My breath hitched due to our sudden increase of closeness, my fingers were placed above his chest and I could feel his rapid heartbeat.. I moved my palm to his cheek and removed the dust. "I fell down while climbing up the mansion, so maybe the dust came from there! " he whispered, I was less concentrated in his words, my eyes were on his face..

Slowly it moved down from his eyes to his lips, how would it feel to capture his lips and caress it with mine? But then - a lot of random girls kissing him - just flashed in front of my eyes causing a pain in my heart, I loosened the grip around his shirt & we both came back to normal. It felt so awkward..

Adrene started knocking on the door, I went to open it, Abir hid beside my wardrobe.. "Hey sweetheart, I need to leave due to some urgency! " he said and hugged me, I stumbled over my feet, but he didn't let me fall.. "Good night! " I mumbled and pushed him back. He patted my cheek and left, I stood there on the exact spot till he left the house. The door automatically got locked after he left. I had this system, when someone closes it, it gets locked and can be opened with the pin or fingerprint..

At this point only my family , Abir & Jeevika know the pin.

I looked at Abir, who was standing against the wardrobe, leaning on it, his hands crossed against each other above his chest. "I am just trying to control my anger! " he muttered, I looked at him in confusion. "What happened! " I asked him, being totally clueless about his anger..

"You need to take rest, I don't want to piss you off! " he said and pushed me to the bed, "But tell me na, what's bothering you? " I asked him, he made me lay on the bed and covered the blanket. "Abir you better tell me, otherwise I won't sleep! " I said sternly. He grabbed a table and sat over it..

"Why did you visit uncle without informing us? Because of you now uncle is safe and sound , but you should have informed us right? Otherwise we would have lost both of you. I can understand your concern towards your papa , but at least tell us where you are heading. Because the situation is really critical now! " He stated, I just stared at him..

"From next time I will inform you all in the group chat before doing anything! " I said, he nodded. " So you were angry because I put my life in danger, " I grinned, he cleared his throat and rolled his tongue inside his mouth.. "Not that, it's just due to this accident Adrene got another chance to stay around you . That bastard, we need to shut his topic soon! " He said angrily, so are you jealous of it?

"SURPRISE!! "

I snapped my head towards the door, a smile automatically appeared on my face seeing the familiar figures. My three brothers and Ruhan entered in, Mivan bhai was holding two large size pizza boxes and Ruhan was holding a cold drink.. I pulled the blanket giving them space on my bed..

"How are you feeling? " Maanvir bhai asked me as he took a seat near my head, I blinked my eyes in response. "She's a fighter, don't worry about her! " Mivan bhai commented, I chuckled. "Okay guys, as you all are here, I should leave now! " Abir announced, before he could stand up I held his hand under the blanket , he stared at me..

"We all are here, just stay with us if you don't have much important work, " Mrinal bhai said, Abir tried to free his hand from my hold, but I tightened it more. "I hope your important work is not another one night stand! " Ruhan mocked Abir, my face dropped. My fingers started slipping away from his hand.

"No, it's not like that. I am not in a mood today.  I just wanted to take some rest, " Abir replied, Mivan bhai gave Abir a cold stare and Abir sat down without any more complaints.. They all took a piece of pizza and offered me as well, but I denied. I was really happy seeing everyone of them enjoying even in such a critical situation.

They all were pulling each other's legs and I was just living the moment. Now I have started to fear, I am scared, what if tomorrow something will happen and I will lose my dear ones. Or what if in this war I will die, so I wanted to enjoy every bit of it, without ruining my life more.

"We should get going! " Maanvir bhai said, it's 1:00 PM already. "You guys are lucky that chacha & chachi aren't living here. Otherwise they wouldn't have let you enter the house at this hour . My mummy is a softie and you all are fully taking advantage of it! " I mocked, they all shrugged off..

"Hah! Everyone ain't got that life.. My mom won't let me go, I have to stay tonight in my music practice house or else in any hotel, " Abir stated, "I have already given her many excuses before, related to work and parties, now I am running out of ideas! " He added, Ruhan gave him a teasing look.

"You must be spending more than half of a week in any hotel with some girl, then this will happen for sure, " he said, it's just causing me some unknown pain. It's so annoying to imagine him making out with other girls. Everyobody doesn't have the right to touch him, but he gives the rights!

"I have to stay in a hotel tonight as well! " Abir said, " Tonight is going to be wild then, " Mivan bhai commented, Maanvir bhai's eyes were on me.. I was trying to pretend that these things were not affecting me, but it's difficult to hide.. "Guys let's go! " They all left, Abir smiled at me and was about to leave, I held his index finger.

"What happened? You need something? " he asked me softly, I gave a positive node, he raised his eyebrows in a query..

"Come close! " I mumbled, he gazed at me as his eyes became a little wide, I forwarded my hand and pulled him, resulting in him leaning over me.. I wrapped my arm around his neck and hugged him while lying.. He sat on the bed comfortably and hugged me, his one hand around my back and the other one on the back of my head. He was balancing my whole weight while I was just lying..

"You needed a hug? " he whisper- asked, "A hug from you! " I corrected him, he didn't say anything, silence felt right. We broke our hug, but I didn't let him move back. I was still wrapping my arm around his neck , his half body was lying horizontally over me, as I was pulling him.. I placed my head on the pillow and pulled him to my level, decreasing the distance between us.

"It's so ironic na! A girl like me feels comfortable and safe around a Casanova like you! " I whispered and placed my hand on his jawline. He held my gaze, I gulped down a huge lump in my throat. "You are different. You are Mivan's sister, I have never looked at you with those eyes, so maybe that's why you feel safe! "  He whispered, a small smile crept over my lips..

I pulled myself up and placed my lips on his cheek, his fist tightened around the soft fabric of the pillow, which I could feel.. I parted my lips and placed another wet kiss on his cheek, his breath fastened.. He wasn't pushing me, he didn't flinch back, he just stayed like a statue. Today I was just craving much more attention, I wanted to be with him..

I brushed my lips on his cheek and whispered in his ears, "Will you stay with me tonight , if I ask? " He moved back and gave a positive node. "Then stay! " I stated, it was more like an order.. I didn't want him to waste another night with any other woman. I did not know why I wanted him to spend the night with me, it just felt good , it felt right..

And surprisingly he didn't react to my kiss, nor did he ask me why I told him to stay. So it's proven that he was actually ignoring the topic, ignoring my feelings. "Be my pillow for tonight, otherwise I will get nightmares! " I said and pulled out the pillow. He sat down and was comfortable, I kept my head on his lap, he grabbed the blanket and covered me fully..

While he was brushing my hair, I was staring at him.. He deliberately closed my eyes because it's making him awkward. I was just being bold & shameless. He has such aesthetic features, I didn't want to miss the view.. "Aren't you sleepy? " he complained as I was just staring at him.. I smiled, "Maybe the position is not correct, I am not comfortable! " I muttered, he let out a deep breath..

"Then sleep however you want! " He suggested, a small smirk appeared on my lips. "You don't have any problem? " I asked him before pulling the wildest stunt, he said No.. I sat down and shifted towards him.. He stared at me in confusion, I made myself sit on his lap, putting both of my legs at one side and keeping my head above his shoulder..

He was startled, shocked, I noticed his adam's apple popping up as he gulped. "Is it your comfortable position? " he whisper- asked, I shook my head negatively and wrapped my one hand around his neck, bringing my face close to his neck.. "This feels good! " I whispered, my lips slightly brushed against the skin of his neck.

He tilted his face towards me, due to the wind all my hair curls were falling on his face.. He put those strands behind my ear, our eyes on each other. His slender long fingers grabbed my jawline, my breath hitched. He was looking more angelic from near. Our lips were an inch away, he moved his gaze from my eyes to my lips. My lips started quivering in anticipation.. He brought his face closer.

I clutched his shirt tightly, and closed my eyes.. His thumb slightly brushed my cheek, my toes curled down. I felt his lips on my forehead, my eyes automatically got opened. "You need rest, good night! " He put my head on his shoulder and covered the blanket around me.. I glared at him. One thing I was sure was that these feelings were not one sided.

We were so close to kissing each other , damn it..

I was never this much desperate nor helpless.

My inner voice mocked me.. I never wanted to date anyone in the first place. But I have decided if I would date or marry anyone then he would be a good guy, not a playboy or fuckboy. Abir is the complete opposite , still I was falling for him. After knowing how I was handling the situation, it's making me laugh at myself.
