Abir :)

Just three days left for her birthday, I didn't knew that her birthday is on February 5..But Sam informed me yesterday.. But sadly, she won't celebrate her day with us, otherwise I would have planned something for her..

It's around 6:30 in the evening. I came from office early. From last two days I haven't seen Mishti , because we both are busy. Siya is in her house too, so she's not coming here. But I said Sameer to go to her house, so that Mishti can come here. I had sent a message too , she said she will come in evening..

I was roaming in the lawn when I heard my Dadi's giggles. She couldn't come to engagement so she came here. It's just yesterday when she came here, she will stay with us for some more days. She's the coolest dadi .

I made my way to the sitting area where Mom and Dadi were chilling..

But my face dropped seeing Bua. She too came with her, I really don't like her.. Because she's an annoying woman, whom I can't stand. But due to Mom and Dadi I talk with her politely.

I went to Dadi and laid on the sofa keeping my head on her lap. She started caressing my hair, looking at her no one can say that she's 85 years old.. They were discussing about bhai's marriage, so I didn't disturb them. My lips curved into a smile, seeing Mishti's name on my screen.. I answered the call quickly..

Where are you?

Come to the sitting area of lawn!

Okay!

I cut the call. I heard some footsteps and realized she's already here..

"Mishti! Come here, " Mom approached and she came to us. She was wearing a short kurti and a black pant..

How can someone look so beautiful in this simple clothes?

She touched everyone's feet, and looked at me in confusion. Then Mom introduced her to dadi and bua, saying she's Sam's friend. When will the day come when someone will introduce her to my family saying she is my girlfriend rather than Sam's friend, it actually irked me..

After minutes of introduction session Mom said her to sit beside her. I was still lying on the sofa.. I glanced at my phone, Mishti had sent me a message..

Why didn't you inform me that your Dadi and Bua is here. I shouldn't have come, what will I do here?

I didn't reply anything, because I called her intentionally. Bua was asking her about her professional life and family background. I rolled my eyes..

"By the way Dadi, you were searching a girl for me! " saying I got up and sat near Dadi comfortably.. Everyone's eyes snapped towards me, but my Mom understood my intention and smiled mischievously..

"Let your brother marry first! Then we will think about you, " dadi said..

"I didn't say that I will marry her, I can't just marry someone like that na.. First I will date her, we will spend time together then only I can decide na! " I mumbled, looking at Mishti, she was looking at the table, her fingers were curled around each other. She narrowed her eyes at my words..

"You are right actually! What about Aalisha? You even know her and both of your name starts with A, good match! " Dadi concluded, I rolled my tongue inside my mouth, trying to supress my laugh.. Aalisha is Ramesh Chacha's daughter. Actually I used to live with Ramesh Chacha in Paris, he was my father's friend. Aalisha had a boyfriend that time, don't know about present things but no one from our family know about her relationship..

"She used to live with you in Paris , so tell what is your thoughts? " Dadi asked, Mishti's whole attention was on our conversation. I bit my inner cheeks so that I won't laugh. Her expression were making me laugh so hard, but I somehow controlled myself..

"She's sexy! " I muttered , Mishti's eyes snapped at me, she furrowed her eyebrows and glared at me, but I looked away. Dadi hit my shoulder.

"I didn't ask you about her body figure, tell me something about her personality, " Dadi uttered, Mishti again looked down , I could see her nose getting red..

"Aalisa! Ahh what a girl she is! You know she is totally perfect. She knows every household activities, even she stays in Paris, she respect our culture. She will not disappoint you in anything, " I blabbered. God know what I said, I really don't know which type of girl Aalisha is. I barely talk with her. Most of the time she doesn't come to house.

"If you are saying means she must be a good girl, I will talk with Ramesh about your marriage with her, " Dadi said, my eyes widen, Mom glared at me. She took it seriously.

"Of course! Why not, " I mumbled, Mom gave me a death glare..

"Excuse me! " saying Mishti left ..

"Abir, I guess your chachi is calling you, " Mom said gritting her teeth, giving her a faint smile I went behind Mishti. Keeping my sandal outside, I entered inside my home.. Mishti was going upstairs, I followed her. She was about to enter Sam's room, I pulled her back.

I put my one hand behind her neck and other behind her knees. Lifting her in my arm, I went to my room and made her stand.

"What! " she muttered, not looking at me. I sat on my couch and pulled her and made her sit on my lap comfortably, holding her from her waist..

"Is something burning or someone is? " I mimicked, she rolled her eyes.

"I know you are doing this all to tease me, but in case you don't know I am not JEALOUS! " she mumbled, staring at her lap.

"Umm so it doesn't affect you? " I said, making her look at me. When my eyes met with her, I really regretted for doing all this but it's fun.. She pouted and looked away. I pressed my lips tightly so that I won't smile like a fool..

"By the way, my friend need to see Aalisha's picture, how beautiful she is! " I said and took my phone out of my shirt pocket. Opening Instagram I went to search bar, but I didn't know her id name. I just typed Aalisha, thank God I found her id..

Her account was not private too.. "Look here! " saying, I showed Mishti her post, where she was just wearing a bikini , a picture where she was coming out of a swimming pool. I could see flame coming out of her ear and nose. My eyes widen when she snatched the phone from my hand and threw it. My phone hit on the terrace door and fell on the marvel . I don't think after such a big accident, I can save my phone.

"Enough! Take her name one more time, then I will throw you too, " she said, I laughed throwing my head back, she rolled her eyes at me..

Wrapping my both arm around her, I pressed my face on her shoulder. Moving her one hand towards my back, she wrapped her hand around my neck and put her head over my chest , clutching my shirt in her another hand.

"Tell me na, you liked her or not! " I asked, she hit my chest with her tiny hand.

"She is not a good choice for you, " she whispered, I was laughing internally..

"Then tell me which type of girl I should date, " I said, adding more fuel in the fire.. She made a pout and sighed..

"A girl like me, " she whispered, making my heart stopped for a moment. I stared at her face, her eyes were closed and her lips curved into a smile. She came more closer to me, hanging her both legs at one side.

"Then find me a girl like you, " I whispered, resting my head on her head. When I say she feels like home, I mean it. She make me forget all my worries, problems, all I found is peace around her.

"There is no girl like me, Am I not enough for you? "  she whispered, I closed my eyes. Actually there is no girl like her. She is one in million. I turned off the lamp, which was on the table near me, when I felt her sleeping. I too slept, keeping my head on the headrest of the couch..

Mishti :)

Stretching my body lazily, I opened my eyelids, only to find myself in Abir's embrace. He was sleeping , holding me firmly around my waist, my both hands were on my lap. I stared at his face . In these past days I have been trying to figure out what I feel, what I want, what I need in my life, but I could not come to any conclusion.

Even now I am totally confused and sometimes being confused is not bad. It's okay to not accept your feelings until you are ready for the upcoming phases of your life. Abir Rajvansh just came to my life from nowhere and now I can't believe I just slept on his lap. Isn't everything going so fast? Everything is going smoothly which is not something usual in my life.

My life was never like this, how it's now. Adjusting myself a little, putting my both hand around my both arm, I put my head on his chest. Sensing my movements, he pulled me more close to him in his sleep. Listening to his heart beats has became my new obsession, like I am not going to get over this.. There were no light on in the room, but his bedroom door was opened, so light which was coming from the hall was lightening his room too..

My gaze fell on his phone, which was lying on the floor lifelessly.. It's his fault of course ! So he deserves it..

The peace got broken when I heard his brothers and sisters approaching towards this room. I shut my eyes quickly so that I won't have to face the embarrassment. The way Abir was holding me, I am not able to move even so getting up is a far different thing. I put my hand on my lap as I heard the footsteps near me..

"Oh My God! What a scene, "

I bit my inner cheeks hearing Sahil's voice. I felt Abir's hold around me loosening, he changed his position and sat on the couch properly, still holding me.. I could feel his gaze on my face, but I didn't dare to look.. I won't! His brothers will tease the hell out of me..

"Abirrrr! You were saying you both are in friend zone, "

"I didn't know any friends doing this! "

Aadarsh bhai chuckled, Abir's heart beat was accelerating. Removing his hand from my waist , he held my shoulder and in another hand , he intertwined our hand..

"Don't make noise, she is sleeping, " Abir whispered, I was trying my best to not give any type of facial expression..

"Ohhoo! Too much care, " Saanvi di teased..

God why! Could not this man close this door? How could he sleep like this? Atleast he would have put me on sofa or bed, but no! Now face this..

"Don't you guys have any other work than roaming around me? " Abir muttered being frustrated.. They all laughed at him..

"Like you don't have any other work than roaming around your girl, " Aadarsh bhai commented.. I mentally cursed myself for coming here.

"Jokes apart! You both come to dining hall, it's already 9:30 PM, " bhai said, I slept for three hours here only? I didn't even realize. As soon as I realized all of them leaving the room, I opened my eyes and stood up quickly. Abir was staring at me like he just saw some alien..

"Could not you wake me up, " I said, glaring at me.

"Why do you keep glaring at me , do you think I get scared of you? " saying he got up and stretched his body lazily. I felt like a little girl in front of him, Eiffel tower!

He went to the terrace door and picked his broken phone, I was just observing his every movements. He was figuring out if his phone was alive or not , that's when my gaze fell on a canvas which was wrapped around a violet cloth. Why have he kept it like this?

Slowly I moved towards the corner and picked the canvas. I unwrapped it from lower end, but he snatched it in a second. But I saw that painting, it was of a girl I guess. I couldn't see her face, but long hair and a lady figure it had.

"Who is she? " I asked arching my brows at him, he wrapped the canvas like before and kept it in his wardrobe and locked it.

"Nothing just a painting, " he muttered, I narrowed my eyes.

"They why did you keep it in your wardrobe? "

"Mishti, I am hungry, let's go, " saying he dragged me with himself, I didn't ask more knowing he won't answer me.

________________

All were present in the dinning, I sat beside Sam, my side chair was empty. I thought Abir will sit there but he sat with his Dadi. I smiled when Sahil sat beside me, but he grinned staring at me.

"You wanted Abir bhai to sit here uhm? " he whispered, making sure only I can hear. I rolled my eyes, the seat was empty so I thought he will sit there. I was not dying to sit beside him, huh!

Geeta Aunty was serving the food when Abir yawned and kept his head on dadi's shoulder. "Bhai, even after such a SWEET sleep , you are still yawning, " Sam said, looking at me, all his brothers started laughing. I kept my gaze on the empty food plate, these all siblings are insane..

After filling everyone's plate, Geeta aunty stood beside Meera Aunty. Everytime they do their dinner with us, but may be dadi is here so they will do their dinner after that. I really hate these rules, it's okay if you respect your in laws, but these things I really hate.

It feels like you eat the leftover food..

I took one morsel of chappatti with gobi, it was so tasty. Both the aunty cooks so well. We all finished our dinner, but Abir was eating slowly slowly. He haven't even finished his one chappatti. Dadi and bua left. After that one by one everyone left after cleaning their hands. I too went to wash my hands, but not before putting the dishes in basin..

When I came back, I saw the most beautiful sight. Abir was feeding his mother, and Sahil was feeding Geeta aunty. All the siblings were present there .  I couldn't help but smiled. Seeing them, I started missing my family. I wish things would have not been worse, otherwise I would have been enjoying with them.

I went and sat beside Sam, staring at Abir. He was smiling ear to ear while talking with his mom, they both were talking in sach a way that only they could hear.

The way he seems strict and rude, he isn't. He really has a soft heart, you just have to take care of him with love and care. He is an adorable kid.

Hearing a fake cough  I looked away, God I was staring at him like there's no one in this hall. Aadarsh bhai chuckled at me. I felt my cheeks getting red, I need to go out of this house ..

_______________________

"Mishti, please stay here tonight, Sameer and Siya really get less time to spend together that's why I am saying, " he pleaded, but it was more like a command, like I have to listen to him and I don't have any other option. I shook my head in disbelief, he should learn how to please someone..

"Only in one condition, " I muttered, Abir raised his brows at me..

"You have to stay one feet away from me, no touching, no cuddles, no ki.. kissing.. We are breaking friendship rules, " I said sternly, he nodded his head quickly. I narrowed my eyes, how did he agree so easily..

"Promise? " I said forwarding my palm towards him..

"Promise! " he said keeping his palm one feet away above my hand in air. He really took it seriously.

I turned around to go upstairs, he followed me.

"Promises are meant to be broken, " I heard his voice just behind me, turning around I glared at him.

"But I won't break this one! " he said softly, I nodded..

Pushing his bedroom door slightly, I took his blanket with me and made my way to terrace.. Putting the blanket on the large swing, I climbed on it. Abir went to another corner and clicked on a switch. My jaw dropped seeing the terrace getting closed by transparent glasses, I used to think it's an opened terrace.

Abir came to me and gestured me to give him little space so that he can sit. I went to another side and he sat on another side of swing.

"I will sleep here, you can sleep in your room, " I mumbled, he stared at me. Actually I love his terrace that's why! And when last time I slept here when I was drunk, I really had a good sleep.

"You won't tell me what to do, " he shrugged off and took out a phone from his pocket. "You have two phones? " I asked, he nodded. "It's for professional use only, " he replied, keeping his gaze on his phone screen.. I snatched his phone away and took a glance of it. He was reading some business related stuffs.

"You can't just see my phone like this, " saying he took his from my hand.

"Friends can see each other's phone, " I grinned, he gave a look to me..

"How many rules of friendship you have put in your mind? " he asked, keeping his phone at one side. Something got into my mind , "Actually there is so many, you should know, so that you can follow the rules, " I said being excited, he narrowed his eyes and nodded..

"First rule is friends don't hide anything from each other, " I said, he just gave a slight nod.

"So promise me that you won't hide anything from me, " I muttered, he nodded. I smiled mischievously..

"Then tell me who was that girl in the canvas? " I asked in a hope of getting a honest reply.

"Seriously! You are still there. Why do you want to ruin your night by hearing that? " hearing his reply my face dropped. He might have drawn his ex girlfriend painting.. I wrapped the blanket till my neck and rested my head on his room wall.

"I want to know! " I muttered, he took a deep breath and sighed..

"Ummm, she... I had a crush on that girl during my school days, she was in the same university as mine too. I used to like her, but had never talked with her.. And when I was in Paris , I made a painting of her, " he said looking at the moon, a beautiful smile was there on his lips. I stared at him with a frown.

"How was the girl? Umm her name? " I asked, his smile went wide..

"She was full of sweetness. Her eyes, her face, her aura , her name , everything about her was sweet! " he whispered, his eyes were sparkling when he was talking about her, like she was his dream girl. His face became so calm as he immersed himself in his deep thoughts, may be remembering his college days.

"You know sometimes I used to do some stupid things so that I can get  attention from her, but she never ever cared, " he chuckled, which type of girl she was? Who didn't look at Abir Rajvansh. He was about to say something when I stopped him..

"Enough of your crush, I want to sleep now, " I muttered, today when he mentioned about Anisha I knew it was all fake. I threw his phone in annoyance,but I was not jealous . But now it didn't seem fake, I could see honesty in his eyes. I just didn't like it, it's not like I can't hear something good about other girl from his mouth, but the way his eyes were sparkling it's same when he stare at me.

And I don't like it. It's okay if he had some feelings for someone.

He got up from the swing and in a second I fell on the floor. "Ouch! " I groaned, rubbing my shoulder. Then I realized we both were balancing the weight but when he got up, all weight came to one side .

Rather than helping me, he was staring at me. "What are you doing, help me! " I said forwarding my one hand, he shook his head. "You forgot my promise? I can't touch you, " he said dramatically making a fake sad face. Seriously! Arghhh..

Letting out a thick air from my mouth, I stood up. He went inside his room. Is he actually going to sleep in his room, leaving me alone here? I made a pout and lead on the swing carefully so that I won't fall again. Covering my body fully through the blanket I gazed at his room door.

A smile crept on my face when he came to terrace holding another blanket. He laid on a sofa and wrapped the blanket around him..

"Umm what if you will meet that girl again? I mean now? Do you still like her? " I asked, staring at his face, his eyes were closed. But hearing my question he smiled, I felt my stomach getting twisted. Why even I was dying to know about the girl? It was better if he would have not told me..

"Good night! " he muttered, I made a pout. His silence was killing me. The feeling I was going through was new to me, I started feeling restless. I turned my face away in annoyance. It's okay na if he still likes her. After all she was his crush. May be his first crush and first is always special..

I again looked at him, now his eyes were opened and he was staring at the sky, a smile plastered on his face. It was making me more irritated. I felt like banging my head somewhere..

"What are you thinking? " I asked in a low tone, he didn't even look at me, making my blood boiling in anger. All of a sudden he started remembering his crush or what?

"She was looking so beautiful, her nose used to turn red everytime she used to get angry, " he mumbled, adding fuel in fire. I put my legs on the carpet and went near to him, crossing my hands I stood near his sofa.. He shifted his eyes to me and raised his brows..

"What? " he asked in confusion..

"What what? " I replied gritting my teeth. I really don't know the reason of my sudden mood swing, but I really wanted to bang my head or hit his head somewhere. And second option sounds better.

"You need something? " he again asked, I nodded my head.

"You! " I blurted, then realized what I said. He pressed his lips to control his laugh.

"Can we follow this friendship rules from tomorrow? " I said.. Abir Rajvansh is making things hard for me and my heart is exploding in irritation. He smirked slightly and nodded.

"Now side, " I muttered and kept my feet between the sofa headrest and him. There was a little space for me , I laid on my side, he too turned towards me, wrapping his one hand around my waist. My head was on his another arm, wrapping my one hand around his waist I went more close to him, burying my face in the crook of his neck.

His warmth has possessed me in a worse way. He covered us fully with the blanket. He put his one leg above mine , I closed my eyes as a smile lingered on my lips..

"Actually the question you just asked never came to my mind. What if I will bumped with her again, I mean who know? " he whispered, my eyes went opened. Shifting my position a little up, I bit his collar bone, leaving a mark there. "Ouch Mishti, " he squeezed me.

"Now you are marked by me, she was your past and keep her in your memories only, " I mumbled and placed a soft kiss on the spot where I bit him. His grip around me tightened, I curled my toes and placed my lips on his neck. He trailed his hand on my back and clutched my hairs tightly in his fist.

I could hear his rapid heartbeat.. "Either you go and sleep on the swing or stop turning me on, otherwise I won't get a control over me, " he warned, my eyes widen. I could feel my cheeks getting warm. Holding him tightly, I pressed my face on his chest. He was wearing a vest, which was making things more hard for me.

"Sorry! " I muttered, he removed his hands from my hair and put it on my waist again, and decreased the gap between us by pulling me close to him . We both slept in each other's embrace..

___________________

Due to the soft rays of sun my sleep got disturbed. When I opened my eyes, I found myself on the swing.. Previous night incident hit my mind. I blinked my eyes and shook my head in disbelief.

Mishti! You need to get a control over your emotions..

My inner voice mocked me and I agreed. I am really behaving too much. Keeping the blanket at one side, I went to Abir's washroom.. To my luck water was there in the bucket, otherwise I would have got drenched like last time.

Wiping my face in a towel, I came out of his washroom. I glanced at the watch, it's just 6:30 am. I adjusted my hair, standing in front of the big size mirror. Wait! Why am I behaving like it's my room. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Holding my phone, I came out of Abir's room.

I met Geeta aunty in downstairs, she handed me a trey full of tea cups and instructed me to take it to lawn. When I kept my feet on the soil ground, sun kissed me and my body got relaxed . I made my way towards lawn.. All the siblings were present there including Abir. He was reading newspaper.

I put the trey on the table and everyone took a cup from it. I sat beside Aadarsh bhai as he said. I noticed Sameer bhai there too, he came back too early I guess. Abir was just sitting in front of me,due to the morning glow, he was looking more handsome.

My eyes were not ready to leave his face, but I don't want to face any teasing session , so I turned my face away. That's when Dadi came, she was already holding a cup of tea. Even at the age of 85, she was looking so fit, unlike me who feel lazy to even move my leg.

All were shipping their tea silently including me.

"Abir! What is that mark on your shoulder? " Dadi asked, I chocked on my tea and started coughing. Bhai took the cup from my hand and rubbed my back. That's when I noticed Abir was still in the vest and the mark was clearly visible. He glared at me, I gulped.

"I think he met with a wild animal last night who caused this, " Sahil said, all were trying to keep a serious face. Abir's eyes were on me, me being innocent kept my eyes on my lap, playing with my fingers.. Is it my fault too? He should have worn something decent.

"Dadi, Sahil is right actually. I was roaming in the garden yesterday, my leg got slipped and I fell, so that's when I felt something on my shoulder, but I thought it is due to thorn, so didn't think more, " he said, pressing his teeth.

Sahil started clapping his hands , "What an emotional story bhai! " he muttered, all burst out laughing except me and Abir. If looks could kill, then he is a murder ..

"I am getting late for college, I need to go, " saying I got up. "Of course! " Sam said and followed me.. As soon as we reached near the shoe stand she stopped me.

"Umm I didn't know you guys will become a bullet train, " she teased hitting my shoulder. "It's nothing like that, " I mumbled and wore my sandal, she was smiling at me mischievously. I am going to Mars today, there is no escape for me in this planet.

"Okay! I am going to my room, after getting ready I will directly go to your house then we will go to college, " she said and I nodded. She went inside the house and I made my way towards the gate but Abir blocked my way.

Licking my lips I gave him an innocent look, which didn't help. "What is this? You seriously left a mark here, atleast you could have informed me, " he complained. How would I know that he doesn't look at mirror after waking up.

"Soon I will take the revenge, " he said with a smirk, my eyes widen.

"Dare to do anything like that! " I said pointing my index finger at him.

"Dare accepted! " he said in confidence, hello? I didn't give you any dare. Rolling my eyes at him I left the place. The guard opened the gate for me. Thanking him with a smile I made my way towards my home.

God! Please save me from this Man.
