Mishti:)

"I won't forgive him, I won't! " I said in a stubborn voice as tears started rolling down from the corner of my eyes.. "Bachha! Don't cry, it's your birthday, " Maa said, caressing my hair, I looked at the watch, it's almost 1:00 at night and my birthday is over.. I was sleeping, keeping my head on her lap..

"He was in coma, how could he have told you that he's alive? "

"I am not angry about that. I understand Yuvan uncle's pov, I am angry for what he did which landed him in such a tragic situation and I am also angry for the way he has behaved with me in the past days, " I said , it sounded like a child was complaining about her issues to her mom.. "Mishti ! He wanted to keep you detached from himself, that's why! " She said, I became angry and moved my head to the pillow..

"You are here defending his actions rather than supporting your daughter, I am not talking to you! " I said angrily, she shifted to me hurriedly, I rolled to my side and she pecked my cheek.. "Okay, be angry with him, don't forgive him, but just don't cry.. We will talk tomorrow, now sleep! " She kissed my cheek again and started brushing my hair.. I acted like I fell into a deep slumber.. She turned off the main light ..

I heard a footsteps which drew my attention, I moved my eyeballs towards the door, damn it's Abir. I closed my eyes hurriedly, maa was there too.. "Can I talk to her for two minutes? " He asked maa, I wanted maa to say No , but also I wanted him to talk to me.. No matter how angry I am, I really missed him like anything in these months..

" But she slept beta! " Maa said, "I won't disturb her, I swear! I will just talk to her & leave, " he said, trying to be a gentleman in front of my mumma! Huh! Maa nodded her head and left.. As I felt his shadow coming closer in the semi darkness room, I closed my eyes.. The side of my bed got pressed as he sat down twisting his one knee, I felt his knee on my stomach..

He was sitting so close to me that I felt something in my body.. His hand started caressing my hair, and then he slightly bent down and kept his head on my hand, just below the shoulder..

"Maybe you will think that I chose my revenge over everything, over you, over my life, but it's not true! I chose justice over everything, I couldn't have slept peacefully if I wouldn't have done that.. But I didn't know it would affect you so much, " he said in a whisper, his hand travelled to my palm and he interlocked our fingers..

"If I had a slight idea of Andrew Robert before coming into your life, I would have never involved you in the first place.. You know in the starting phase, I used to be around you, I wanted to make you smile, because I had feelings for you from the very beginning, even before meeting you ! " He confessed, my eyes widened even though it's closed.. I doubt if he would catch me acting of being sleepy by feeling the raise in my heartbeat..

"I know while trying to push you away, I broke your heart several times, I made you cry, even till now you are crying.. And it hurts me, I swear it feels like death. And I would do anything to win your trust back, win your love back. And I promise, I won't let you cry after that, " he said and placed his lips on my cheek.. I felt tears gathering in my eyes..

He stood up and I felt the emptiness around me.. He adjusted the blanket around me and left.. I pressed my face on the pillow, letting the tears come out. I don't know why I was sad. The pain, suffering of six months came flashing in front of my eyes..

I can't fall for your words, Abir.. No, I can't.. I can't trust you. I won't .. Maybe you are right on your place, but it won't change the fact that I was hurt by your every single action.. What if in the future again something will happen, and you would choose everyone over yourself.. Maybe justice was your priority, but you didn't care for the people who loves you. And for this reason I can't forgive you nor I would trust you. Because you are really good at lying..

I don't know how you would have killed Andrew Robert, but the way you put your life at risk isn't something I would forgive you for!!!!!!!! That day I was begging you to stop, I confessed to you, but you cut the call. I know it would have been difficult for you too, but still you went ahead.. Maybe you are alive now and it would look small to you, but not to me!

__________________________

After ages I was getting ready to go to the office, the way I used to do. In the past six months, I have hardly worn anything fancy other than formal.. I hardly go to the office. Now it's time for a comeback. Mishti Agarwal is back in her era!!

Yesterday when I came back after the face off with Abir, I was welcomed by a surprise because it was my birthday. My family had arranged a cake, everyone was there . Sharanya, Ayansh bhai, Ruhani bhabi, Ruhan, these four were present there too.. But my mood was worse, so I just cut the cake and came back to my room.. They didn't force me, because they knew my state of mind. I was vulnerable ..

I looked at the clock,and I was getting late.. I went outside,  nobody asked me anything. They very well know how I react when someone tries to poke their nose in my personal space, I just get angry. They were concerned for me, but didn't ask me anything.. I took an apple from the dining and left for the office..

It's raining a little, there's media outside my company.. At first I was surprised, but then I remembered Abir kissing me in the concert, so it drew their attention and they came here.. All of them followed my car, but were stopped by my guards.. The driver opened the door for me, I got out of the car.. Another guard was standing beside me holding an umbrella for me..

It's a little cold there, I slightly brushed my palm against my elbow and looked at the media who were throwing a lot of questions at me.. I got startled when someone covered a blazer around my shoulder, I snapped my head back.. It's Abir.. The blazer was falling till my calves.. My eyes met with his brown honey eyes..

"Let's go, Princess! " He uttered, taking the umbrella from the guard. I stared at him in disbelief, he was unbothered about the media.. I started walking towards the entrance, with the blazer blowing towards back in air, my ponytail moving in an oscillating motion, in one hand I was holding my coffee and in other hand confidence.

Abir was following me holding the umbrella , even though he was holding an umbrella for me, he was not looking like any guard. No matter what he does, you can't pull out the charming rich sexy side out of him. I had never seen any man looking so hot while holding an umbrella, but he is definitely exceptional..

The media has become silent, all I could hear was the flicking noise of my heels against the tile floor and all I could feel was my rhythmic walk with Abir.. As soon as I reached the entrance, Abir closed the umbrella and gave it back to the guard..

I got inside the private elevator , the door was going to close but there's no sign of abir rajvansh.. So I pressed the door open button to keep it opened, I sighed as he entered inside.. But I pretended like I wasn't waiting for him, a satisfactory smile crept over his lips as he realized I kept the door open for him.. He looked back at me , a grinning smile was plastered over the corner of his lips..

"Just to break your delusion, I didn't stop it for you. Actually I remember that I have an important work here in the ground floor! " I said and moved ahead, even though I had no work here. Of course I can't let my ego down in front of him.. He was about to follow me, but I pressed him against the wall..

"Don't you dare to follow me! I don't want people to get distracted from their work just because of you! " I warned him, my hands resting on his chest.. He glanced at our closeness, I stepped back making a safe distance.. He bent down upto my height, it gave me butterflies for some reason. I find it sexy when he bends down upto my height just to say me something or to hear something from me..

"If you are going to stop me like this every time I follow you, then I am going to do it every now & then, Ms Agarwal! " He whispered in my ears and placed a soft kiss on my earlobe, making my heartbeat drops. I pushed him slightly.. "If you are thinking that these things will melt me, then you are completely wrong! " I said, crossing my hands over my chest..

"And why did you make it official by kissing me in the middle of the concert? "

"If you can propose me in front of our family then I can do it as well, my fans are my family! " He emphasized, there's no benefit of saying him anything otherwise the debate won't end.. I turned my heel and left..

As I crossed the glass door and entered into the management club of my company, I felt his intense eyes following my every steps.. I turned my head back, he was leaning against the pillar, his left hand pressed against it and his one leg slightly folded above the other as his brown orbs were locked with mine. I can stare at his brown honey eyes forever.

If he would have ever looked at me with those intense eyes when I wanted his attention, I would have melted and buried myself inside the floor. Because it's so tempting and captivating. He tilted his head and smiled mischievously as he caught me staring at him.. I shrugged off and walked ahead. Never a man had made me feel this crazy..

I took a walk around the hall, talked with a few employees and came back to the elevator. Jeevika came running to me, she was breathless.. "Mam, your meeting was at 11:00 , what are you doing here? " She asked me, I glanced at my watch, it's 11:15 am.. "Your mam had some important work in the ground floor! " Abir taunted, I poked my tongue on my inner cheek and got inside the elevator..

Jeevika was about to step inside, but looking at Abit she stepped back. "What happened? Come inside! " I stated, she looked at Abir again, "Umm Mam, I have to attend a call, you go, I will take the normal elevator, " she said and ran from there and the elevator door got closed..

"Don't you have any other work then annoying me? " I muttered under my breath, "Nothing can be more important than annoying you, and by the way I don't want to annoy you..I just want to pacify you, " he said, I ignored him and walked outside as the elevator stopped on my floor..

He didn't follow me to the conference room and I was glad about that.. I took the center chair, everyone greeted me with a smile.. I started the meeting, Jeevika showed the presentation on the board.. I again felt a gaze on me, I looked at my side and realized Abir was sitting on a sofa outside and staring at me..

Not again Mr Rajvansh!!

I cleared my throat and focused on the meeting. But it's hard to concentrate when someone stares at you with so much passion & love in his eyes. He's so good at expressing his emotions through his eyes and so good at hiding it as well.. He's good at everything and I hate it..

"Mam! "

The chain of thoughts got broken when Jeevika called me, I looked at her.. "Mam, everything okay? " She asked me, "Yeah, why? "

"Mr Mehta is calling you for a few times, but you look disturbed! " she said, "I am sorry, please continue! " I apologized to him and listened to him.. My eyes moved towards Abir's direction and he was not there anymore. I looked towards every window and he was nowhere..

Good.....!

After the meeting was over I marched to my cabin well aware of his presence there.. "What was that? Why were you disturbing me when I was in a meeting? " I yelled at him, he turned back towards me.. "But I was doing nothing! I was just sitting there like an obedient guy, " he said making an innocent face.. I flared my nose in anger and turned my heel to leave..

But I was pulled by him, my back bumped with his chest and he caged me in his arms.. I squeezed myself as he wrapped his one arm around my belly and other around my shoulder.. I could feel his hot breath through the little gap between my neck and the collar of my shirt..

"Leave me! " I muttered..

"Was I distracting you just by a simple stare? " He whispered in my ear, I lowered my gaze as the close proximity was doing something to me. "Just because I got distracted, it doesn't mean you will flex about it. We don't get distracted by good things always, sometimes the creepy looks can distract us as well! " I stated, he brushed his palm over my belly.. I curled my toes in my shoes, I could feel his touch through the thin fabric of my shirt..

"So you are telling me that I was giving you creepy looks! " He said, it would be the biggest lie if I say yes because I found it extremely adorable and hot at the same time, "Yes! It's creepy, " I mentioned, he freed myself from his hold.. "I need to work on my eyes, " he said stretching his body, it made me chuckle but I didn't..

I walked outside, I didn't have any work now and I was not in a mood to do any work as well.. I stepped outside of the building with him following me.. I started going towards the back gate, because it had gardens and trees.. And as the weather was quite gloomy, I wanted to roam around to relax my mind.. The guards opened the small gate for me, everyone's eyes were on Abir.

I went outside, there's a road which was connecting my factory with the national highway.. So numerous trucks were passing by it.. I saw a cotton candy guy passing by the road, I used to cry in front of mumma for cotton candy, but she refuses to give it to me every time, saying it's unhealthy.. It just brought a lot of memories instantly..

"Do you want that cotton candy? " Abir asked me, before I could even respond he walked ahead.. It's turning point of the road, my eyes widened when a truck appeared but it applied break at the right time.. My heart came to my throat, I became froze as the six months flashed in front of my eyes..

The fear of losing him again terrified me to the core, I hadn't even come out of that trauma and witnessed something like this again.. Abir took a few steps back letting the truck go, our eyes locked with each other.. My face hardened, I clenched my jaw tighter, my nails digging on my palm as I was trying to control my anger..

I turned back and started walking towards the building , he ran behind me and stopped just in front of me.. "Get out of my sight..! " I yelped as the tears gathered in my eyes, I didn't even glance at him.. "I am sorry, I didn't see it coming, it's the turning point-"

" I SAID GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! " I screamed, "Mishti, please calm down, " he said holding my shoulders, I jerked his hands away.. "You don't have any rights to say that!! I was the one who suffered in the six months, you were just sleeping without having any knowledge.. You can't believe how many nightmares I got just because of you, you can't imagine how much sleepless nights I had, you can't imagine how I held myself back everytime I fell, you can't imagine how much I missed you, how much I cried for you! BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT WITH ME.. " I yelled at him, my voice had mixed emotions of anger pain & suffering..

He held my hand and pulled me closer while I was trying to not shed tears anymore, but these fucking tears drop from your eyes when you don't want it.. He cupped my face and wiped my tears, his one arm wrapped around me.. "I know I am the reason behind your every tears, I am the reason behind your every trauma, I am the reason behind your sleepless nights and nightmares.. And I can't erase it, but atleast give me a chance to heal it.. I swear it break me every time I think what you suffered for me.. " He said, it started raining..

I was looking down at his chest, because it hurt me to see his eyes filled with pain & regrets..

"I have hurt you a lot and I am okay with you not forgiving me until I earn it.. Shout at me, beat me, punish me, but don't just go silent around me, it hurts! " He whispered, "I love you and believe me nothing hurts more than seeing your love of your life crying because of you! " He confessed, my heart was tearing apart.. I looked above..

My eyes locked with his eyes, a layer of red hue has appeared towards the lower end of his eyes.. My heart softened, he pulled me close by wrapping his arm around my waist.. His thumb brushed against my cheek, wiping those tears .. It's difficult for me to look at his eyes due to the heavy pouring of rain..

"Give me one last chance...! " He whispered with his pleasing eyes, my chest slightly raised up as I took a deep breath.. His eyes moved from my eyes to my quivering lips, already our close proximity was intimidating me.. I was craving for emotional support, even though I wanted to push him away, I knew I needed his warmth the most..

He leaned forward, I clutched the thin fabric of his shirt as I anticipated a kiss.. I could feel my heart beat in my throat, his face came closer and he cupped my jawline.. "I can't give you a chance! " I stated, my voice devoid of any emotions.. He stopped instantly and stared deep into my eyes.. "You wanted a chance and I gave you my answer! Now get aside, " I uttered, he stood there being hurt and devastated..

I ran inside the company.. Jeevika wrapped a towel around me.. "Go & give him an umbrella! " I said to her, she nodded and went to him holding an umbrella, but he being stubborn refused it.. What does he think of himself , he has just recovered from coma.. "Do what you want! " I muttered and went inside..

Abir :)

Wrapping a towel around my wet hair, I was sitting on a couch.. My head was aching , Ziya had just scolded me for getting drenched in rain.. I was staring at the ceiling, thinking what to do to earn her trust again! Someone walked into my room and I realized it's my mom..

"I have decided to apologize to Agarwals, " she said, I was quite surprised because she realized her fault without me making her understand.. "As if apology will fix anything, " I muttered under my breath, of course it's not an indirect for her, but for me.. "Mishti is not talking with you? " She asked me, I chuckled dryly.

"I have decided to talk about Sharanya's marriage with Mivan, " she said, I snapped my head towards her and she sat down pulling a table towards me.. "The two families already suffered a lot, so I want to fix everything! " She said, I blinked my eyes and nodded in approval.. I was happy because their marriage can bring me and mishti closer.. I will get more opportunity to talk with her..

"You should have informed about my health to them, they all suffered a lot! " I said, she glared at me..

"At least they were thinking you were at peace.. Imagine what we both went through, it's traumatic than hell.. We couldn't sleep a single night due to stress, no medicines were working on you.. With each passing day your condition was getting worse.. I had lost all my hope.. Just because we had money, we could save you.. People say money doesn't matter, but it does.. You don't know how many top doctors had examined your situation, it's not easy for us as well.. At least nobody suffered like us, everyday I used to live in fear of losing you.. " She concluded, I pulled her cheek slightly and in return got a slap on my head..

"I had enough of scoldings, let's talk about your daughter.. Did she say yes? I mean is she ready for the marriage? " I asked her, there's no use of talking about past, neither I can change it nor I can erase it. So it's better to focus on the future and rectify the mistakes done in past..

"Yes! She became extremely happy when I said it to her! " She stated, "Too desperate huh! " I mumbled, a pillow directly landed on my face, "What the-" I stopped myself from cursing because maa was there.. Sharanya glared at me and sat on my bed.. "I feel bad for Mivan, " I taunted, she fumed in anger.. It's satisfying to see her annoying stressed face..

"Mumma why don't you say anything to him? " She cried , it's fake obviously.. "Tch tch tch! " I mimicked, maa rolled her eyes at us and left.. "Look at yourself, crying for a girl and teasing me here , " she taunted, huh! "She is going to forgive me soon! " I said in confidence..

"She's very stubborn, forget about forgiveness! " She said, "Hello, don't say anything bad about her, " I said pointing my index finger at her, "Han obviously you will say this now.. All brothers forget about their sister after getting a girlfriend, " she said and stood up making a face.. "Sorry baba! " I said loudly as she started walking away.. "Not accepted! "

"I am sending 1 lakh to your account, " I said, she stared at me, it's a deadly glare.. "Stop applying the old trick.. Don't forget that your sister is the CO-CEO of the most reputed company worldwide, " she stated, flaunting her hair.. It made me proud and emotional for some reason. She was just a baby yesterday and grew up so soon.. And tomorrow she will go to someone else's house..

"Finally you are getting married. My home will be free from evil soul! " I teased her, "ARGHHHHHH SOMEONE SHUT HIS MOUTH! " She screamed in anger and banged the door, I burst out laughing.. I will miss annoying her..

__________________________

We came here to Agarwal mansion the next day.. Mivan's parents had come from India too.. As it's lunch time, Mishti was not there.. But Mivan had called her to come here.. Maa first apologized to everyone, Maahira aunty and Manvik uncle were always forgiving, so they didn't drag it.. I was glad that things sorted out between us..

I heard the car hern sound, I was little away from the discussion, so I went near the window to see if Mishti arrived or not.. But when I saw Dhruv, my frustration reached no bound.. He opened the door for her and forwarded his hand. She happily placed her palm above his, my fingers clutched around the edge of the window..

I went back and sat over a sofa in the corner . Everyone were discussing about all the ceremony, maa had video called a priest too.. Mishti came inside along with Dhruv, I didn't pay any attention to him.. She did a namaste to everyone and sat on the handle of the sofa beside Mivan.. Her eyes roamed around the hall, I smiled in satisfaction as she's searching for me even though she's angry.. She bent down till Mivan's ears and whispered something..

Mivan pointed his eyes towards me, her eyes automatically moved to me.. As I was already staring at her, her face flushed because I caught her searching for me.. When she had no idea about me, she's completely normal. But after she got to know that I was there, her eyes didn't stop motioning , she's staring at here & there .. She can never stop making it obvious ..

I was roaming with Mivan in the garden and saw Mishti coming towards us from the different direction.. "Hey, she's coming.. " I said, drawing his attention.. "So? "

"So just help me.. You will tell her to show me the washroom and then she will take me to a room.. Atleast I will get some alone time with her! " I said, Mivan glared at me.. "You are talking with his brother, don't forget that! "

"You are marrying my sister, don't forget that too! " I pointed, he shut his eyes and nodded in defeat.. "Just don't do any perverted things with her , " he warned me, I kept my hand on my waist.. "It's our personal matter, stop poking your nose & you are again forgetting that you are marrying my sister, so cooperate with me! " I threatened him, he muttered a fine under his breath..

"Mishti ...! " He called her, she stopped and looked at both of us..

"Take him to your room's washroom, it's an emergency! " He said, I gave him a sidelook, there's no need to mention the word emergency.. Mishti glanced at me from top to toe.. "You want to go to the washroom? " She asked me and I nodded..

"Do in the garden or on your pants, I don't care! " She shrugged off and left.. I stared at her disappearing figure with a wide open mouth, Mivan burst out laughing.. "Oh My God! " He again burst out laughing, I glared at him and he shut his mouth..

"That's Mishti Agarwal for you! " He mentioned and again laughed.. I put his handkerchief inside his mouth & left from there.. I didn't follow her, instead I went towards mumma!

"Did you apologize to Mishti? " I asked her, she shook her negatively.. "I will, but not today! " She said, I nodded..
