Mishti :)

It's around 8.00 PM in night. I was standing outside of Rajvansh house holding my mini purse, the workers have put everyone's luggage inside the bus. They have planned to go in bus till Gujarat, as Sameer bhai's girlfriend Siya will join us from there.

I was wearing a black tee-shirt with a white straight pant, and a brown jacket over it. I put my both hand inside my jacket pockets as it was cold . Everyone have already got inside the bus except me and Sam and Abir. They both haven't come yet, I was waiting for Sam.

"You both are getting late, come soon, " Geeta Aunty shouted, Sam came running holding her both the shoes. Sitting over the grasses she started wearing her shoes. My heart fluttered as Abir came out of the house. He was wearing a black hoodie and a grey pant , his hands were inside his hoodie pockets..His face was glowing under the moon light, he was holding his guitar on his back, giving a rockstar vibe..

I was staring at him without blinking my eyes. "I know my boy is hot, but that doesn't mean you will drool over him like this, openly, " Geeta aunty whispered near my ears, I looked down biting my lips and she chuckled. "Just kidding, " she burst out laughing. I cursed myself under my breath..

I gasped when his eyes met mine. Giving me a slight smirk, he hugged Geeta Aunty then Meera Aunty. "Bachha! Take care, I will miss you, keep calling me, or keep your phone in high sound so that you won't miss my call, " she was sounding sad, he rubbed his hand on her back.. All the cousins are going, so she must be sad.

"My baby, " she whispered, breaking the hug and he kissed her cheek. I smiled seeing their bond.

I touched both Aunty's feet, Meera Aunty hugged me. "Have a safe journey, keep informing me if anyone of them trouble you, I won't spare them, " she mocked, I chuckle. "Take care of my baby, " she said to Abir, pointing at me..

"Baby? Hello you can't call someone baby other than me, " he complained like a child, I rolled my eyes.

"No! she is my baby daughter, so I will call her that only, " Aunty muttered caressing my cheeks.

"Baby! " Abir mocked, looking at me from top to toe. He pulled my cheek, "we are getting late, miss baby, " saying he left. I was rooted on my place, did he just pull my cheek.. My breath became uneven, I touched my cheek, butterflies started jumping in my stomach..

I came out of my zone hearing Geeta Aunty's fake cough.. "Bye beta, " Meera aunty waved her hands, giving her a smile I entered inside the bus..

I came inside followed by Sam, the driver locked the door, as it was a air-conditioned bus. The smell was good inside it, everything was clean and settled.. The inside color was white and a bathroom was attached to it. It was giving a vanity van type vibes..

There were only four paired seats and two sleepers . The seats were like sofa sets,rich people rich things!! Those were large and comfortable, it's actually good for travelling . Abir and Aarushi were sitting together. Saanvi di was sitting with Sameer bhai , Aadarsh bhai and Sahil were together. I sat with Sam, she was sitting on the window seat.

I looked at my side, where Abir was sitting with his sister. When his gaze fell on mine, my hand automatically went to my cheek, I could still feel his fingers on it.. He chuckled and smirked, I looked away..

I folded my hand and prayed to God as the bus started. The journey has started in a good note, hopefully we will come all safe and happy..

God, for the first time I am going on a trip without informing Mom, sorry for that. And please make sure she won't get to know about this.. And keep all of us safe and healthy..

I removed my shoes and sat crossing my legs. I took out my jacket and placed it at the edge as Sam wrapped her blanket around me.

_______________________

I opened my eyelids with a jerk as the bus took a sudden break. I looked at everyone, all were sleeping except Abir. As usual he was busy in his phone. It was 7.30AM. Taking my brush out my purse I got up from my seat.

I waited for 2 minutes as Sameer bhai was brushing his teeth, as he left I did my brush and then went to bathroom .

When I came out, I didn't find Sameer bhai and Abir at their place. Keeping my brush in my purse, I took out my phone and went outside as the bus was stopped.

Abir was sitting on a tea stall, I took slow steps towards him and sat beside him ordering a tea for myself. "Actually Siya will come, so we had to stop here, " he replied before I ask. I was shipping my tea, when I got a call from Chacha..

Good morning Chacha!

Good morning! where are you now? You are not facing any problem na?

Yah yah! I am good.. We are in Gujarat right now, a friend of Sameer bhai will join us from here, so!!

Ah okay! Keep informing me about your whereabouts..

Enjoy your trip with Abir..

I got up from my seat hearing Chachi's voice. God! Chacha must have told her, he can't really keep anything without telling her.

Why did you told this to chachi? She is a chatter box, what if she will blabber it in front of my mom?

I complained..

Don't worry! She won't tell anyone..

Seriously! Give her the phone first, I want to talk with her..

Chachi! Tell me honestly you haven't told anyone right?

I cursed myself as she stayed silent. Abir stared at me and shook his head in disbelief.

Don't worry! I won't tell bhabi. Actually when your Chacha told me yesterday, I got excited and when Rashi asked toh I told her, and she told it to your bhai. But don't worry, I swear you mom won't get to know about this..

I hit the phone on my forehead. Bhai know about it means, it's over for me. He will definitely tell to Mom. I sat on my place with a frown..

Okay bye! I will talk to you later..

I cut the call.. "Relax, nothing will happen, " Abir muttered, I sighed. God know what Mom will do in case she will get to know about this. We both got inside the bus as Aadarsh bhai called us, not before paying the vendor..

Sahil was sitting on his place sidewise , keeping his laptop on the other seat, he was playing some video games. All have exchanged their seat, Aadarsh bhai and Saanvi di were sharing the seat, Aarushi was with Sam and Sameer bhai was with her girlfriend. "Where will we sit? " I asked, as there were no place left for us.

"Siya! You both get up, it's my seat, " Abir said to Sameer bhai's girlfriend, she shrugged. "Is your name written over it? " she said crossing her arms over her chest. I held Abir's hand as the driver started the bus, I couldn't stand properly, so for support I held him.

"Sameer, it's better if you and your girlfriend move to sleeper, " he warned to bhai, Siya shook her head.

"Yarr! Please na, you sleep there, I am really tired, " Sameer bhai groaned and closed his eyes, Siya chuckled..

"It's okay Abir! There is two sleeper na, we will adjust, " I mumbled, "one driver is sleeping on one sleeper, only one left for us, " he muttered.

I took a glance at the sleeper, it have enough space for two person, "We both can share it, " I muttered, he first stared at me for some seconds then nodded.

As he said, first I kept my one feet on the handle of the seat, where Siya was sitting, then took another feet on the headrest of front seat , Abir helped me a little and I managed to climb up..

"I am really sorry Mishti, but it's just a revenge.. Abir had done the same thing with me in our last trip, so I had to do this... Hahahhaha, " Siya said laughing, Abir rolled his eyes .

I adjusted myself and held his hand to help him in getting up. He put his one knee on the sleeper and frowned. "Siya, leave my leg, " he shouted, I looked down, she was holding his leg and . I burst out laughing. He made an annoyed face and tried to pull his leg, but it was of no use.

"Sameer, tell your girlfriend to leave my leg, otherwise I will kick her out of this bus, " he groaned in frustation.

"Don't involve me in your fights, " bhai shouted, he sighed.. All of a sudden, she left his leg and as he was pulling himself, his head got hit with the wall of bus. "Ouch, " he groaned in pain, rubbing his head, I could hear Siya's giggling voice.

Nothing just another crack head joined the group.

I sat on my knees and rubbed his forehead, holding his shoulder in another hand for balance. But we both lost the balance as the driver took a right turn and I ended up falling on his chest.

My head was buried in the crook of his neck, his one hand around my waist. I looked up , my eyes met with his hazel eyes, making my breath stop for some fraction of seconds.

He trailed his finger along my cheeks , removing the hair strands from my face.. I clutched his shirt, as his cold fingers touched my neck. He took my hairs in his hand and took it to my back, giving me shivers.

My face pressed on the bedsheets after the bus jump on some humps. I could feel Abir's face in the crook of my neck..

He was breathing against my skin. His hands moved to my shoulders and he pushed me a little, helping me to get up..

We both sat properly, I stuck my hair strand behind my ears looking down.

"Umm, wanna watch movie? " he asked pointing at a small tv, which was at one end of the sleeper wall, I nodded . What we both even do alone, so it's better to watch some movie rather than creating more awkwardness between us..

"Siya give me my blanket, " he said, to my surprise she handed the blanket to him without annoying him more ..

"Oh My God, you gave it so easily, " he said in a shocked tone , she gave a whatever look to him and then pulled the blanket towards her, "It's okay, if you don't want to take, " she muttered, but he too didn't leave the blanket.

And they both continued to pull the blanket towards each other for next fifteen minutes, I stared at both them. Unbelievable!!

"Siya ! Stop annoying him, " Sameer bhai pulled her from her waist and she finally left the blanket, I sighed..
They both fight like siblings, even more than that..

I took the remote and turned on the television. We both adjusted ourselves at one end, we laid on half-lying position and put the blanket till our neck. Our hands were brushing with each other, but we were sitting in safe distance.

"Take it, " Saanvi di forwarded two petis and some chips with a cold drink and a water bottle. Abir put a sheet over the blanket and placed the food over it.

There was only one channel on that tv and to my good luck, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was playing on it and it's just started.. I took the petis in my mouth, it was tasty.

I burst out laughing, when the scene came where Anjli threw the flower bucket in front of her future father in law. But I frowned seeing Abir, he was staring at the tv without any expression, totally straight face, eating potato chips..

"You can't just watch a movie like this, you have to laugh, " I complained, he stared at me, "HAHAHAHAHHA" he mimicked, I rolled my eyes.

"I have seen this movie before so many times, so tired of laughing, " he muttered, I sighed and kept my gaze on the screen not wanting to miss a scene.. Even I have watched this movie before so many times, but still laugh like a devil..

How can someone get tired of laughing?

Abir :)

It's around 11.00 AM and we are on the way to Himachal Pradesh.. It's not our plan to travel by bus, but we didn't get the flight tickets at the last moment, so we had this option left. It's better than travelling in train and moreover Chacha didn't allow us to go in our private jet for this trip..

It has been two hours, Mishti is sleeping in that same position , she slept at the middle of the movie so I turned it off.. I was sitting on half lying position and her head is on my chest, and her hand around my waist.

I took out my phone and opened the front camera to took a selfie. Some hairs were falling on her face, so I stuck it behind her ear, due to my touch she nuzzled her face on my chest. I smiled seeing her antics . I took three to four selfie of us, knowing it's wrong because I am doing it without her permission. But
I just felt like capturing the moment.

When I was keeping my phone at my side, my gaze fell on bhai and Saanvi. They were about to kiss, a idea came to my mind and I threw the chips packet at him , so they could not kiss.

Bhai groaned in frustation, Saanvi looked down blushing. Bhai looked up, all ready to kill me with his eyes. "I will do the same with you in future, " saying he threw the packet back at me but it fell on Mishti's face. "Aaannn" she pouted, still closing her eyes.

"The real satisfaction, " Siya muttered as Mishti smacked the chips packet on my face, still in her sleep. They all burst out laughing, I rolled my eyes at them,rubbing my face..

"Now I will put it on my status, " Siya said looking at her phone screen. What the hell? When did she record it. I forwarded my hand trying to snatch her phone away, but it was difficult as I was on sleeper and she was standing , so she went back, but fell miserably on the floor.

"Ouch, " she yelped, it was my time to laugh. Sameer helped her in getting up.

"Now this the real satisfaction, HAHAHAHA, " I mocked, she flared her nose in anger..

"Can't you keep your mouth shut! I am sleeping, " Mishti shouted pulling my hairs..

"Mishti leave my hair, it's hurting, " I tried to free my hairs from her hold, again they all laughed at me.

"Dare to distrub me again , I will kick you from here, " she mumbled in her sleep and left my hair. I fixed my hair and covered the blanket till her neck. She tightened her grip around me, I pulled her more closer and pressed my lips on her crown. She was looking cute while sleeping..

I could feel her heartbeat raising up even in sleep as mine. Though she's in sleep she reacted the same to my touch, everytime I come close to her she became all nervous, but never try to push me away. In the beginning she used to do, but now she let me do what I want to do.

Though I don't want to do anything before clearing out the things between us, but everytime I look at her , I just can't get a control over myself..That day on the terrace I was so close to her, only I know how hard it was for me to not kiss her. But I know she was not ready!!

I took her tiny hand in mine under the blanket, so many emotions were running in me. I want her to keep with me, always!

"I need you in my life! " I muttered looking at her sleepy face.

From the time, this journey has started there was a strange fear in my head regarding her . I am trying to distract myself but it is not happening. I just hope this trip goes well.

She left my hand and circled it around my neck, I tightened my hand around her waist.

I never shared her my side story, like how I know her before, how much I want her to stay in my life, how I feel for her. Because I still feel that she's not ready to hear it and I can't bear her rejection. So it's better to go with the flow.

I will tell her everything when the right time will come, hoping the time will come soon.

"Umm.. You should thank me for this, " I heard Siya's voice. She was standing against Saanvi's seat.

"For what? " I arched my brows, "for giving you this opportunity, to stay close with her, your dream girl, " she whispered in a proud tone, I rolled my eyes.

Siya is one of the girl whom I adore the most, in the beginning I really used to dislike her, but now it's not same. No matter how much she annoy me, she really care for me. She's a girl good at heart, but always in a playful mood.

Mishti :)

I woke up from my deep slumber due to the background music. I found myself alone on the sleeper , Abir was not there. I opened my phone, 7 missed calls from Rohan. Hell! I forgot to tell him about me not going with them , I opened the message box as he had sent me a message too .

Yarr! I couldn't go because my mom's health is not good. She needs me . I hope you are enjoying there, I am little bit disappointed because you didn't even call me for asking the reason of my absence. But it's okay! Enjoy!

I blinked my eyes for some second, he didn't go to Dubai, how would I know, when I myself didn't go..

Take care of Aunty! I will call you later..

I messaged him. If he's not there, it won't be a problem for me. But still I need to inform that I too didn't go to Dubai before he get to know it from other staffs. He will directly call Mom,in case I won't pick up his calls .

I moved to the side and looked down. All were dancing including Abir. I smiled looking at them, but I was too lazy to join them. Abir had put a pillow so that I won't fall. I kept my head over the pillow and fixed my eyes on them.

I didn't realize when I fell into sleep. It's already noon. One thing what caught my attention , Abir was dancing with Siya. Unbelievable! In morning they were fighting over silly things and now dancing.

I wanted to use washroom , so sat on my place. Holding the steal rod, I kept my one leg on the head rest, but my other leg didn't reach to the handle. I lost my balance but Abir came in right time. Holding me from my waist , he put me down.

"You alright? " he asked, holding my shoulder, I nodded. Wearing Sam's slipper I went to bathroom..

_________________

I sat with Sam as everyone were dancing, Sam was recording it on her phone. "Why don't you join them? " she asked, "I can't match their steps, " I muttered..

They all have taken bath except girls, including me.

"You lazy girls, come! " Sahil told us, forwarding his hands towards us.

"No no! It's okay, you guys continue, " I mumbled, but whom am I telling. He didn't listen and dragged both of us to the floor. In the bus, it was enough space for dancing as their were less seats..

I bumped with Abir's arm, he decreased his pace and danced with me. Later everyone joined us, and our pace gradually increased.

"Guys, dance slowly, it's getting hard for us to drive properly, " another driver said to us and left. We all stopped dancing.

Everyone sat on their respective seat, except Siya and me. Abir grinned looking at Siya.. "I can sit anywhere, " flipping her hair, she sat on bhai's lap, I giggled.

But where will I sit? I pouted..

"Mishti! You sit here, " Sam said getting up from her seat.

"No need of that, you can seat with me, " I turned around hearing Sahil's voice. He removed his laptop, I smiled and made my way to him.

But the bus stopped all of a sudden and I fell straight on my back. My head hit the floor, but a carpet was over it, so it didn't hurt much, still I could feel the pain ..

All came to me hurriedly, I felt Abir's arm around me. He started rubbing my back head, taking me in his embrace. "Is it hurting much? " he said in a concern filled tone.

"Can't you drive properly, if not then leave the seat. It's for second time you are doing this, " Aadarsh bhai yelled at the driver.

Abir picked me in his arm and made me sit on the seat, Sam handed me a water bottle. I gulped it all in one go. Abir was still rubbing my back, holding my one hand.

I let out a deep breath and sat there silently as my head was spinning..

"I am fine, don't worry! " I said to Abir, he was looking so worried. "I am so sorry, " he whispered.

"Guys! Relax. I am okay, " I said to everyone as they all were gathered around me.

"Sir! A dhaba is here. You guys want to have your lunch here? " the driver asked coming to us.. "Can you walk? " Abir asked getting up, I nodded.

One by one everyone left. I stood up but after a second I found myself in his arm. "Abir it's okay! I can walk, " he didn't say anything and came out of the bus, holding me like that.

He made me sit on the manja bed (Charpai) , I looked at my surrounding, everyone were looking at us only. I looked down as I felt my cheeks warming up..

It was a open Panjabi Dhaba. Leaving me there Abir went inside. Putting some ice in his handkerchief he came to me and slowly rubbed it on my back head. I felt much better..

Hii Badimaa!

Sahil shouted in excitement looking at his phone screen. Meera Aunty was on video call with him. He took the phone to me, "Hello Aunty, " I greeted, she frowned seeing Abir rubbing my head.

"What happened to you? Are you okay? " she said in concern, I nodded my head.

"Don't worry mom! Your baby is fine now, she just fell on the bus floor, " Abir said to her, she glared at him..

"Not even the first day and she is already hurt! " she said getting angry..

"It's okay Aunty! I am fine, " I said to calm her down..

Then Sahil took the phone and everyone talked with Aunty. After sometime the waiter came with our meal. Cleaning our hands we all did our lunch... We stayed there for half an hour and then again got inside the bus..

"How are you feeling now? " Aadarsh bhai asked, keeping his hand over my head. "Totally fine! " I smiled..

"It will be better if you will sleep for some time, so just climb up, " Abir said pointing at the sleeper.. I agreed with him, because the sleeper were more comfortable than these seats and my back is still hurting.

I climbed up and laid on the sleeper comfortably.. Abir took his laptop with him and climbed up.. He sat near my head and placed his hand on my forehead. I clutched the sheet under my blanket due to his intense gaze on me..

"Sleep well, I will call you once we reach, " he whispered, shiver ran down my spine due to his soft voice. I was just blinking my eyes, he kept the laptop on his lap and got busy in his work, but his one hand was on my forehead. I closed my eyes due to the feathery touch over my head.
