Mishti :)

My family were waiting for me outside, it's my rent house. Tonight we're going to a reception of one of our family friend. They informed me at the last moment, so I was the one who's taking time.

Even Rajvansh family is going there, Sam texted me in evening, though they don't know about me going there too. I have already wore my outfit. It's just I am not finding a perfect jewellery for it.

I was biting my lips, and kept a necklace around my neck, but it didn't match. I kept all those stuffs being frustrated and pulled my hair tightly, being totally annoyed.

"Relax girl! We are going to a reception. Why are you panicking like you are going on a date? "

My eyes snapped at the door, Chachi was staring at me , trying to observe my face. She entered in my room and sat on the couch. "Don't wear any jewellery, you are looking good without it, " she muttered..

I looked at myself on the mirror, for the first time I was little conscious about my look. I just wanted to look good. "Umm okay then, " I sighed. Taking my purse, we both went outside where everyone were waiting for me to come.

"Let's go! " Chachi said and all got up from their seat.

"Finally we are going somewhere all together, " Chacha said, wrapping his hand around my shoulder, I smiled at him..

There were two car outside of my house. "Mishti will go in my car, " I giggled hearing Chacha's voice. We both sat on back seat, chachi sat on the passenger seat. Mom and bhai bhabi came on another car.

As the driver started the car, I kept my head on Chacha's shoulder, holding his hand. I was feeling little nervous inside. "Are you still in touch with Abir? " Chachi asked, I shut my eyes as Chacha stared at me.

"Abir Rajvansh? " he muttered. What was the need to bring his topic at this time?

"You know him? " Chacha asked keeping his eyes on me, I nodded my head. "Through Sam, umm he is her brother na! " I replied..

"Sam? Sekhar's daughter na? "

"Hmm! "

"She is lying, actually Meera ji came to our house with a marriage proposal for his son Abir, " Chachi blurted, I sighed.

"I have no idea about all this! " Chacha mumbled, I rested my head on the headrest of the seat.. "Do your Mom no about this? You know na she doesn't like businessman, " he added.

"Why? I mean why does she not like man with this professions? " I asked..

"Because she think, their only priority is business, they don't give enough time to family, like your father, "

"But not everyone is same na! " I stated.

"Oho! For the first time Mishti Agarwal is defending them, umm" Chachi uttered being all excited, I rolled my eyes. The car stopped in front of the venue, taking a deep breath I came out of the car.

We all went inside. My heart started beating like never before. It's not for the first time you are going to meet him, Mishti ... My inner voice put some sense in my head. I took a deep breathe, as I found myself in the middle of the crowd.

A smile formed on my lips, seeing Sam coming towards me. "Oh My God! You didn't tell me you are coming here, " she hugged me, "I was not sure about it, " I muttered patting her back. She then took blessing from everyone of my family.

"Mom! She is Sam ,my friend, " I introduced her with Mom, Mom gave her a polite smile and caressed her cheek. My eyes widen seeing Aadarsh bhai and Sahil, they stood in front of me waving their hands at me. Mom gave me an confused look.

"Hello Uncle, It's nice to meet you here, " bhai shook hand with Chacha. I sighed in relax as they didn't talk with me.

"Hii pretty lady! " Sahil waved his hand at me, making my jaw dropped. My mom arched her brows at me. Idiot! Was it really necessary to call me like that in front of my family. I gave him a faint smile.

"You guys enjoy! " saying bhai dragged Sahil with himself and left, Sam too left with them. I sighed. "How did that boy know you? ". I was expecting this question from Mom.

" He is Sam's younger brother, I have went to their house for two to three times, so they just know me, " I replied quickly, she just nodded.

"Okay! We should meet Mehta family, come! " Mom said, it's Mehta uncle's son's marriage reception. "You guys go! I am here, " I told them. They all left and I let out a thick air out of my mouth.

I started walking ahead, as my eyes were searching for that one person in the crowd. And finally it found him and could not move further. He was talking with someone, keeping his both hands inside his pocket.

He was wearing a light grey shirt with a black pant and a brown jacket over it. As usual his upper two buttons of his shirt was opened. Can't he wear his shirt in a decent way? Always showing off his muscular toned chest.

My heart fluttered as he pushed his hair and gave a delight smile to that person. Cold breeze was blowing giving me chill .. I rubbed my plam over my shoulder, still looking at that pretty smile on his face. No doubt why girls fall for him.

I got startled as I heard Chachi's fake cough. I looked here and there and sat on a chair like an innocent girl. I cursed myself for ogling at him shamelessly, Chachi must have seen it.

"Where were you looking at? " she cleared her voice, I looked up only to see her staring at me with teasing look. "I was looking at the bride and groom, " I shrugged..

"This much confidence I need in my life, " she said crossing her hands over her chest, I arched my brows at her.

"Bride groom are on the stage, and the stage is at your back, miss " Chachi uttered, I turned back and she was right.

"You must have special eyes on your back head, right? " she giggled, I rolled my eyes , as nervousness raised inside my chest.

"Abiirrrr beta! " she called him, making my eyes wide. I got up and held her hand. "Chachi! What are you doing? " I muttered, she just shrugged off..

"Abiirrrr beta! " this time she called his name little loudly making him look at us. My breath hitched when his brown orbs met mine in the crowd. I clutched my purse tightly, as he made his ways towards us. I pressed my forehead being embarrassed as all the people were looking at us. Of course they will! The way Chachi shouted even the neighboring country can hear it..

"God bless you! " Chachi caressed his hairs as he touched her feet. "He is a well mannered guy, na? " chachi muttered making sure he won't listen, I rolled my eyes at her words. Well mannered? Huh!

"You are looking beautiful today! "

Hearing his soft voice I looked up, but my face dropped as he gave a compliment to Chachi. Why even he will complement me?!

"Me? " Chachi said pointing her finger at herself, "Of course you! Is there anyone more beautiful than you in the surrounding? " he uttered, Chachi blushed looking at the ground, I shook my head in disbelief..

I looked at him, he was already staring at me, inserting his both hands in his jeans pocket. I scratched my neck as my Chachi was smiling ear to ear looking at both of us. "You guys continue! I will just come, " saying she started walking towards the table where my family were sitting, of course they haven't seen us..

Chachi! Nooooo. Don't go... But she has already left. I rolled my tongue inside my mouth as there was only Abir and I and the environment became awkward for both us. I was biting my inner cheeks, as his eyes were on me.

"Umm.. You need something? " he mumbled.

Yes! Need some fresh air. So that I can breathe properly. He was not standing close to me, still it was difficult for me to breathe properly.

"Mom must be waiting for me, " saying I walked out without even letting him to say something.. But I stopped on my way when my eyes fell on dad. He just stood in front of the table where my family were sitting. But what drew my attention  , he was with his wife.

With a heavy heart I took forward steps and stood beside bhai, who was looking at Mom being all scared to see her reaction. But Mom was looking all normal, plastering a smile on her face she stood up.. "What a pleasant surprise!" dad muttered.

The smile had already left from everyone's face . Mom was not reacting anything, my forehead furrowed in confusion. Did she know about his second marriage? My heart was beating in fear.

"Meet my wife, Gouri Agarwal! " he introduced his wife, how heartless a person can be! "Nice to meet you, " my mom said to his wife, even his wife was feeling awkward.

"Umm, you guys enjoy! We should leave now, " she spoke and dragged dad with herself. I licked my dried trembling lips, as Mom sat down .. "Mom! Ummm do you, do you know about him.. Umm he-" she didn't let bhai speak.

"Of course! I was the first person to get the invitation card of their wedding, " she uttered, my stomach twisted in pain. She was trying her best to cover the pain with a fake smile, her eyes teared up, but she shocked the tears before it could fell..

My heart was breaking into pieces, her palm were trembling. God! Don't you get tired of it.. How much pain do you want to give to mom? What has she done to you?

I gulped hard, as it became difficult for me to stand. It was just she never shared anything with us, she went through the pain all alone. I was never with her, I could not become a good daughter.

"Umm.. Can I go home? " I uttered, everyone looked at me.

"Don't worry! I am fine. I just want to go," I spoke, bhai stared at me helplessly.

"I too don't want to stay here, we all should go, " bhai declared, mom shook her head.

"Mehta Sir will feel bad, he had said me to stay here. Just because of someone don't ruin your night, " Chacha uttered strictly. I totally forgot about him, how much hurtful it would have been for him to see his brother , who was behaving like a stranger. Mom agreed with him.

"You guys stay here, driver will drop me, " saying I walked out without waiting for their response. It was so hard for me to take every step. Tears were rolling down my eyes. Why can't God let my Mom stay happily?

God! Do you even know how hurt it is to see your mom totally hurt, but you can't do anything to heal her. I can't fill the void of her heart. I started feeling dizzy but gathered all my strength and started walking towards exit.

Abir :

I turned around as a soft familiar voice reached my ears. I was dumbfounded seeing Mishti and her Chachi here, in the reception party. Her chachi was calling me, I made my way to them.

It was hard to breathe as she was looking breathtaking. I really don't like saree much, but from the day she has entered in my life, I have started liking it. Most of the time she wears saree, and damm I find no words to actually describe her.

God must have put extra efforts to create such a piece of heart. I gave a compliment to Chachi, but my eyes were on her. Of course her chachi was looking pretty, but no one can match the beauty of her IN MY EYES. As usual she became conscious in my presence, which I really like.

Her Chachi left, giving us alone time. But only if we talk anything! I asked her if she need something to break the silence but she choosed to walk out from there. I smiled seeing her nervousness..

I went to my family. We cousins have came here only, Mom and Chacha Chachi are in home. I was drinking water when my eyes fell on Mishti. She was going towards exit, I felt like she was crying. She was little far away from my vision so I couldn't see her face properly.

Excusing myself from there, I ran to her. I stood in front of her, seeing me there she wiped her tears. "What's wrong? " I asked, she just shook her head in response. What the heck is happening. She was all smiling before sometime and now she's crying..

"Where are you going? " I again asked.

"Home! "

"Won't you eat anything? "

She shook her head, pain was clearly visible on her face. I so wanted to wipe the pain from her life. As she started walking, I held her hand making her stop.

"I have a better place in my mind, come with me, " I spoke, she shook her head. But I pulled her hand and dragged her with myself. It's just my heart was not ready to leave her like this. I hate her tears.

Her hands were cold, she was sobbing silently. I opened my car door and she sat inside it without saying anything. Before starting the engine, I messaged bhai about my whereabouts.

She was looking outside the window, small small tear drops were falling on her cheeks. If I would have some rights on her, I would have been pulled her in a bone crushing hug. But knowing she won't like it, I didn't do anything which will make her uncomfortable.

I stopped the car  near the marine drive. She was so involved in her world that she didn't even realized when I took the purse away from her and placed it on the back seat . "Mishti! " I called her softly, she stared at me first and then at the surrounding.

We both came out of the car . She sat on the ground, I too sat beside her. She was not crying, I felt little relaxed seeing her face. Neither she was sad nor happy.

The waves were crawling gently to the shore. The thunder of the sea on the rocks seemed to blank out other thoughts. There were few people near us, but all were silent. I took a deep breath as the cold wind started blowing. I blinked my eyes in disbelief as she kept her head on my shoulder.

It was for the first she took a move. I know emotionally she is not stable, but still she doesn't do this at all. My heart almost came to my throat when she took my palm and kept it on her lap, intertwining our hand. "Thank you! " she muttered, a smile formed on my lips.

"Don't worry! Everything will fall into place, you just have to keep patience. I know it's hard, but you have to stay strong. And I know it's not easy sometimes and no need to be hard on yourself, just go with the flow, " I whispered, she nodded her head.

I smiled as she started playing with my fingers. I looked up, clouds were covering the moon. But my moon was just sitting beside me.

I always wanted to spend some alone time with her like this , and it's happening today. Though she's not happy but I got little happiness , atleast she is not sad anymore. I was silent, but deep down my feelings were crashing like this waves.

Her eyes were on the ocean and mine were on her.

The thunder and lightning boomed and crashed above them for a while and then it started to rain.

Mishti :)

I got up as it started raining suddenly. I was about go inside the car, when Abir called me. I turned around to match my gaze with his.

"Have you ever danced in rain? " he shouted, I shook my head. Rain has already started, making me totally drenched. People were running here and there and finally the road became empty as everyone left.

He opened his jacket and threw it in air, which fell above his car. My heart was pounding, as he made his ways to me. Taking my small hand in his, he twirled me around him. It was little difficult for me to look at him due to rain.

But after some time, I started feeling better under the rain. He pulled me towards him and I bumped on his chest. My cheeks started burning under his gaze. It was cold and raining heavily, but the temperature in my body raised all of a sudden .

When he said that he will make his wife feel hot even in the snowfall, he was not wrong. Though I am not his wife, but I definitely experienced it. He drew a line from my bare stomach to my waist through his finger and held me softly. Butterflies started jumping in my belly. He intertwined our hand, I kept my other hand on his wet shirt.

Rain drops were falling from his hairs, he was looking extra hot under the rain. We fell in step ,  letting the rhythm control our movements. He drew me close to his chest, I started feeling his hot breathe over my nose.

Leaving my hand , he bent down a little. Holding me from my thigh, he picked me up making my jaw dropped. I looked up and opened my arms, letting the rain drenched me completely. Rain drops were falling on my face, wiping the tear strains from my face.

He was twirling me slowly, my heart beat was not usual. He started putting me down, my breathe hitched as my nose brushed with his nose. My eyes met with his brown orbs, I could feel my heart skipping every bit. I wrapped my hands around his neck as he put me down.

He removed the hair strands from my face, his fingers were creating magic on my cheeks. I clutched his shirt, my toes curled inside my sandal as he pulled me more close to him. His heart was beating against mine. "You don't know how beautiful you look with this smile, " he muttered.

My soul almost left my body hearing his husky voice. It's for the first time he gave a complement, I started melting under his intense gaze. I bit my inner cheeks to act normal, which became hard after hearing those words from his mouth.

People have complemented me before, but he said I look beautiful with this smile. My heart fluttered in happiness, nervousness, shyness and what not. I looked down as I couldn't meet his hazel brown eyes anymore..

"We should go now! " he uttered, I pulled out my hand from him and he too left me. Taking a deep breath, I got inside his car as he opened the door for me. He too got inside and forwarded me his jacket. The jacket was wet too. I kept it on my lap as he started driving.

I looked outside as I saw a couple kissing each other under the rain. I smiled at them and moved my gaze to my lap. The AC was off, but I was feeling little cold. He started a song, and kept his focus on the road.. Dandelions by Ruth B.

And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
… 'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine
… And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
… Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time

My heart fluttered hearing the lyrics. I stared at his contaminated smile. I don't care if he feel something special for me or not. I don't care if he take care of every girl , the way he take care of me.

What matters is, he make me feel happy. Today I don't know what would have I done after reaching home. May be I would have been crying . But it would have not reduced my pain.

I am so overwhelmed, that he came to me. He brought me here. He have started creating a place in my heart, that no one can take away. He is different for me.

I looked away as his eyes caught me staring at him . "Umm want to have some tea? " he asked, I nodded my head. Only a tea can save me from this cold weather. He stopped his car in front of a tea stall. "You stay here, " he mumbled. He was about to get out of the car when I stopped him.

"What? " he raised his eye brows. I forwarded the jacket to him, his upper body was clearly visible due to wet shirt. And there were so many girls, I didn't want anyone to see him like this, atleast not when he's looking extra hot.

First he stared at me blankly, trying to read my face. "Umm it's cold outside, it's okay if you don't want to, " but he pulled the jacket and wore it. I smiled internally and he left. There were so many emotions running down my spine.

Rain has already stopped..

I pulled down the glass as he forwarded the tea cup. Giving me the cup he went near the vendor. As I took a sip of tea, my body got relaxed. My eyes were at Abir, he was talking with the vendor, the smile not leaving his face.

Girls were admiring him, mutual feelings!!

God must have taken million years to create a person like him. I gave him the empty cup, throwing it in Dustbin he got inside the car. The song has stopped , it was again a pin drop silence between us. But it felt a peaceful  ..

He stopped the car in front of my house. I took my purse from the back seat. "Can I change my clothes in your house? Actually Mom will not spare me if she will see me like this! " he uttered being little scared, I giggled and nodded.

I unlocked the door and directed him to my another room. He have some extra clothes with him in the car, so it was not a problem. I locked the door from inside and went to my room, and locked it too.

I went to bathroom and removed my wet clothes. After drying myself fully, I came out of the washroom wearing  my under wear and a bathrobe over it . I was drying my hair when he knocked my door. "Wait a minute, " I got up and opened my wardrobe..

I pulled out a frock and wore it immediately. I tried to pull up the zip, but it was stuck. My hand started paining due to the pressure. He again knocked my door. I put my sleeve properly on my shoulder and pushed all my hairs to my back. My hairs were covering my bare back.

I ran to the door and opened it hesitantly. "Umm- I need a bag to keep my wet-" he could not complete as my sleeve fell from my shoulder. But I pulled it immediately.

"Umm a bag, " he again stopped as the dumbass sleeve again fell  . I again pulled it, giving him a faint smile.

"Let me help you, " he whispered coming closer. I looked down as he made his hands to my back and kept my hairs on my one shoulder. My breath was falling on his chest. I squeezed myself between his arms as his finger touched my back..

I started breathing heavily as he glided down his finger to my zip. His hot breath was fanning on my neck. With a sudden pull he closed the zip and made a distance between us. I sighed.

I went inside and brought a bag and handed it to him. He put all his wet clothes inside the bag. "Good night, " he muttered, I just nodded my head.

He made his way to outside, I followed him till gate . I stood there for some time until he got inside his car and drove away. I locked the door and went to my bedroom..

My stomach was empty but heart was full.
