Mishti :)

Just because I will be hurt that doesn't mean he won't tell me.. I will not leave him, seriously this is not done.. I reached my home but found the door opened.. Did I leave my house like this? I entered inside silently..

"SURPRISE! "

CHACHA SCREAMED.. Everyone were present there. Mom, bhai, bhabi , chacha and chachi everyone were there.. I kept my palm above my heart to calm myself down.. I got scared

"Seriously! When did you all come? " I asked in surprise..

"First let me hug you.. It's been so many days I haven't seen you, " Chacha said pulling me in a hug, I smiled at him and hugged him.. One by one I hugged everyone, we all gathered in the hall.. I was the center of attention..

"Actually, Abir called me.. So we just planned a surprise for you, " Mom said and my smile vanished..

"I need sleep, don't disturb me, " saying I left to my room and locked it from inside.. Mom kept calling me but I ignored.. I went to my block list, seeing his name there hurt me like anything.. He should have informed me na, he have to deal everything on his own.. Huh.. Now why will I care.. I opened my television and watched a movie whatever I got.. My stomach was empty, so having no option I opened the door..

To my surprise on the dining table there were so many dishes.. And all were my favorite..

"When did you make all this? " I asked in shock..

"Haha! Our talent you know, " bhabi said proudly, I chuckled and sat between chachi and Mom.. They didn't talk much knowing my anger.. I too didn't say anything and did my breakfast.. I didn't have my college so I again went to my room and the whole day I watched movies and series..

It's evening time, Chacha and bhai bhabi went somewhere.. I and Mom and Chachi were present there only.. I was randomly scrolling through my phone, that's when someone entered inside.. It's Meera aunty, I was sitting in a corner.. It's rude but I just smiled at her and again got busy in my phone.. She too didn't tell me anything..

"Mishti, what is this? Come here, " Chachi said strictly, I shook my head in a No..

"Let her stay there, it's okay! " Meera aunty said and the trio sat there.. Aanty asked mom about my wellbeing, have I eaten or not.. Am I still angry and many more questions.. She elaborated the situation also.. At the middle Mom called me two, three times but I didn't listen.. After some time she left and now it's my mom who came to me and snatched my phone away..

"What? " I shouted in anger..

"Don't shout like that! " Chachi warned me, I made a pout..

"Where is your manners? Someone came to our house and I am calling you thousands time, what she must be feeling? If you didn't want to talk , you should have just approached her and went to your room.. This was so disrespectful.. She came here to ask about you, she could have called me too but she came by herself and you are showing your anger, " Mom said in a rude tone.. I snatched my phone from her to which I received a glare..

"My house is just five hundred meters away from their.. It's not that difficult to come, " I said carelessly while looking at my phone.. There was some silence after whatever I said.. I looked up towards my Mom and Chachi, they both were all ready to eat me up.. Using phone at this time didn't feel good , so I kept it at my side. Mom too calmed herself down and sat in front of me.. She took my palm in her..

"You remember when you were in 11th and I had to leave for London for almost 2 months.. How much you cried? You got serious fever.. "

I nodded..

"See! I am not saying what he did was absolutely correct.. But see in anger somewhere you didn't miss him na.. When you get angry, it overcome your every emotions.. If he would have told you before going, now you would have been a crying mess.. I am glad how much he knows you. Don't think that I support him, but atleast understand him too.. It must be hard for him too, to leave you like this.. Be angry but that doesn't mean you will behave like this with his family members.. What is their fault? They didn't tell you because of Abir.. But seriously this was so rude of you to behave like this.. In this whole world you won't find a mother in law like her, she literally give you all the freedom , never say anything to you no matter what... " she tried to make me understand.. She was not wrong either..

I actually behaved rudely with her... It's my boyfriend who have provoked them to not tell me anything ..

"Go to Rajvansh house and talk with her.. " she said, I shook my head..

"Not today! "

She sighed and gave me a cold stare.. After some time she went to kitchen, Chachi too.. I again switched on the television and started watching a series..

Why he have to do the things which make me angry? Now bear with it.. While watching tv, I fell in slumber.

______________________

I woke up at 9:30 PM.. It is our dinner time, I slept a lott today.. What will I do in the night? Overthinking? Lazily stretching my body, I got up to be shocked again.. Aadarsh bhai, Sameer bhai and Sam were sitting in the dinning..

"Hello Mishti, " bhai greeted me, Mom was already giving me cold stares, so I greeted them with a smile..

"What happened? You all came here at this hour? " I asked and took a sit with them..

"We came here to taste Aanty's handmade food, " Aadarsh bhai said pointing towards Mom. I gave a slight node. From Mrs Agarwal to just addressing Aanty, hmm not bad.. Mom and Chachi served our food.. Due to official work bhai and bhabi will be late.. So we all started.. The conversation between Mom and these brothers were all about business.. No matter how good their bond will be, they won't stop talking about business..

Sam and I were discussing about our college.. College classes were suspended due to athlete & sports programme. The food was tasty, after praising Mom and Chachi we got up.. I thought they will leave, but they planned a movie night in my house.. I could not deny as I had no work.. Chacha and Chachi went to sleep.. Mom was talking with someone when the movie started..

As it's was a thriller movie plus newly released, we had a good time with each other.. But when the movie ended, I looked at them and found them sleeping in their respective position.. How could they sleep while watching a suspense thriller movie.. Both the brothers were looking tired, so they slept I guess.. And about Sam, she has the habit to sleep at the middle of a movie..

I adjusted everyone in their respective sofa and wrapped blanket around them... It's already 2:30 am, so didn't feel like to wake them up.. When I went to my bedroom Mom was not there.. I went outside seeing my main door opened and found Mom sitting on a swing.. She was staring at the empty road aimlessly..

"Everything okay mom? " I asked shaking her shoulder, she nodded and told me to sit there... I sat at the opposite end of the swing.. I tried to read her facial expressions but could not guess what was she thinking.. She smiled at me, I raised my brows in confusion..

"Do you know how lucky you are? " she asked, I didn't understand in which basis..

"It's not like Rajvansh are the only good in laws I have ever seen.. But it happens rarely that your in law treat you as a family member, they do every possible things for you, " she added..

"Han but why-" she cut me off..

"Let me continue, "

I nodded ..

"You know when I and my ex- husband used to get into a fight, his family always take his side. And if I don't take my dinner, nobody care to ask.. We too had a big family, his cousin sisters brothers... We all used to live together.. Your Chacha is the only person who used to support me. But except him there was no one..

About Rajvansh family, it's not about how they treat you.. It's about the bond between them as well.. The kindness they have even after reaching to this heights of success.. Meera Ji came here to check upon you in morning, and these cousins came now just to light up your mood.. Nobody forced you to talk with Abir.. They were concerned about you .. And you know in life these small small things matters a lot .. The love you didn't get in this family, you will get their.. And I am really happy for you, " she concluded.. I blinked my eyes in utter shock..

Of course if anyone will praise my future in laws, I would be the happiest person in this whole universe... But these words coming from my Mom's mouth made me speechless..

"You know? Your chachi was crying today in happiness, " she added, I got confused..

"She always wanted you to get married to a good man.. She knew Abir is a great choice for you but never expected her family to be this good with you.. So in this case you are lucky, " she smiled at me, I smiled back and nodded..

I should not have left their house like this.. I was angry but it's so disrespectful.. It's all happening because of Abir.. Let him call me, I will not spare him.. He must have just reached Paris, what would he be doing? I let out a deep breath and let these things go from my mind.. Both Mom & I went inside and locked the door..

Abir :)

Sahil and I both fell on two respective couch, though I am habitual of long distance journey still I felt so tired today.. And about Sahil it's better to not say anything.. He being the dramebaaz acting like I gave him service work in the flight and from last ten hours he was working but in reality he was eating and sleeping all the time..

"Hello, "

We both snapped towards the door, Aalisha greeted us, we both just gave her a faint smile.. Was not six years enough? Now I have to bear her for more one year.. I cried internally.. Sahil was judging her from top to toe, I hit his shoulder and he came to reality..

"When did you guys come? " she asked and, sat in front of us.. I was waiting for Sahil to answer and he was waiting for me to answer and in this waiting three minutes passed and we both got a cold stare from Aalisha. The audacity?! Why the heck will we answer her question.. Huh..

"Actually I am tired, so can I answer your question tomorrow? " Sahil said and I chuckled but made a straight face quickly ..

"By the way where will we stay? In which room? " I asked her..

"Okay so I have cleaned a room next to mine.. Abir you can stay there. And Sahil, here is a small room next to kitchen, you can stay there, " she explained.. No doubt why Sahil behaves rudely with her.. In our Rajvansh house, Sahil has the biggest room among all because he need space.. I don't think he will stay here in that small room..

"Don't worry Sahil! We will exchange our room.. You can stay in mine and I will stay in the room near to kitchen, " I patted his shoulder but he was not looking satisfied.. "Bhai what about staying in one room? " he asked with a tight lipped smile.. I know his intention.. He just don't want Alisha around me.. I nodded..

"But what is the need? I have arranged the-" I cut her off..

"My brother will stay with me and that's final, and moreover leaving him near the kitchen doesn't sound good. What if I will wake up in the morning and found nothing in kitchen. Because he is a big foddie.." I tried to lighten up the environment but received a glare from Sahil which I ignored..

" let's go Sahil! " I dragged my luggage with me and Sahil followed me with his luggage.. This girl will never change her character.. Useless bloody fellow!!

We kept our luggage in the wardrobe.. First he got freshened up then I..

"Bhai I need food! " Sahil said stretching his whole body while sitting on a couch.. I was combing my hair.. "Where did your food go? " I asked irritately, in the whole flight he was eating only..

"To the toilet, "

I rolled my eyes and sat over a chair and took out my phone.. Mishti blocked me, seriously! What can I even expect after doing this stunt.. I had informed Mom about our wellbeing.. I just have to adjust for one month then slowly slowly everything will fall into place and eventually I will be habitual of it..

"Here is some sandwich for you! " Alisha came inside holding a plate.. I let out a deep breath to control myself, the audacity of her to come inside without even knocking.. I don't get it, but everything she do make me angry.. I just get some weird vibes from her.. She kept the plate on the table.. I nodded.. She was about to go but her leg slipped and she fell on me..

"Oopppss! I am sorry, "

Holding her shoulder I pushed her, it was all intentional.. She was about to leave but I called her..

"Next time before coming to this room, don't forget to knock.. I don't like people invading my privacy, " I said in a stern tone.. Stomping her feet she left and banged the door.. Sahil took the plate and scanned the food through his eyes..

"Bhai, what if she would have added poision it? "

"That's why I want you to take it first, if you will stay alive then we will proceed further, " I said, he rolled his eyes and started eating it.. Seeing his expression it was clear that he didn't eat the sandwich but the sandwich ate his taste buds.. Poor boy! Thank God I didn't eat it..

From tomorrow my days will be way too much hetric..

I fell on the bed, that's when my phone beeped with a message from Sam.. She had sent me a picture, I opened it and my heart fluttered in happiness.. Mishti was sleeping with a frown on her face in that photo.. My girl! It's not been 24 hours but I started missing her like hell..

She again sent a picture and it's of Mishti's phone lock screen wallpaper.

See! She still has your photo on her lock screen. So there are some chance that she might remove you from her block list! 😏

I rolled my eyes at her logicless message.. Putting my phone in charger I slept..

_____________________

The next day :)

I was at the construction site, discussing the plan with architecture.. It's nearly 4:30 PM.. Pratik is in hospital with Ramesh Chacha, he will be discharged tomorrow.. I tried to contact with Mishti through her Chachi and Mom as well, but she didn't listen.. I had a talk with Mom, she said she went to her house yesterday but she didn't talk with her too.. I seriously did a big blunder.. As long as I know her, at this time she won't pick up unknown numbers because she knows her boyfriend very well..

"You can go now, I will transfer the required amount till tomorrow! " I shook hand with the architecture and he left.. The area had no internet connection so I went to terrace to have some network.. I dialled Sahil's number..

Hello..

Yes bhai..

I am going home.. You want something? Snacks or any fast food?

Umm.. Bring whatever you want..

I will take nothing then.. Tell me what do you want to eat..

One burger, a pasta pizza, I want to watch movie tonight so you can bring popcorn and some chips as well. Cold drinks too.. Orea shake will be good too.. What about KFC momo, crispy paneer, and umm

Idiot.. You will eat this kuch today? I am taking nothing for you.. Cut the crap.. Nonsense..

Before he could blabber more I cut the call.. Huh.. I have so many other works too rather than going from one shop to other. Nonsense!!

My phone started ringing, I opened it in a hope of getting a call from Mishti but it was mom who was video calling me.. I sat over a chair and answered.. "Hello Mom, " I waved my hand at her.. She was sitting in the garden and it's already dark there.. The time difference between mumbai and Paris is 3 hour 30 minutes and Mumbai is ahead ..

"Where are you? It looks weird! " Mom said scanning my background.

"I am here in the construction site, leave that.. How are you doing? Everything okay? Did Mishti come today? "

"No beta.. She didn't.. I told you to tell her now bear it.. "

I was about to open my mouth to say something that's when I heard her voice.. Mom was looking towards her right..

"Wait! She is here, " Mom whispered slowly, my eyes sparkled in happiness..

"Hello aunty! " Mishti greeted her, I heard her voice after freaking two days.. As Mom was wearing bluetooth earbuds, so I can talk with her and Mishti won't be able to hear..

"Show me her face na! " I said, Mom showed her eyes at me.. She doesn't know how to show a person through back camera in a video call... I cried internally..

"Okay give her the phone! I want to talk with her, "

Mom first denied but then turned off the bluetooth, after giving the phone to Mishti she left from there quickly.. Mishti was surprised first but when she saw me on the screen her smile vanished and squizzing her both eyes she glared at me.. Expected.. She was about to cut the call.. "Listen listen! Please don't cut the call.. Sorry na.. Please please don't cut-"

Lol! She cut the call.. I clutched the phone and felt like throwing it.. But it's not a solution.. How many days will she not talk with me? I will see that.. I went to the main branch of the company, I need to go through the whole input and output..

After completing my work, I headed to home but before it I bought a popcorn, some drinks and one pizza for Sahil.. It's 9:30 pm when I reached.. Keeping the snacks on the table I let my tired body fell on the sofa..

"Sahil! Come here, " I screamed at the top of my voice.. He ran to me with a glass of water.. Ohho! Not bad.. Good manners, after all my brother.. But rather than giving me the glass, he kept it on the table and took the snack packets from the table and started searching if everything is there or not.. I rolled my eyes and took the glass..

"Where is other things? " he asked, I glared at him.. "Don't eat too much junk food, if you will say then I will make for you but it's not healthy to eat outside food too much! " I tried to make him understand but what will be the benifit.. After he will go to college, he will eat every other food...

"There is the kitchen! " he said me pointing towards the kitchen..

"For what? "

"You said you will make these things for me, so I thought to show you, so that you can make-"

"Shut up! "

I let out a deep breath and he started laughing.. I shook my head in disbelief. He alone used to annoy the whole family, now Abir Rajvansh you suffer alone.. But somewhere he definitely boost my mood... I snapped my head towards the door. A girl entered inside with one luggage, her face was covered with scarf.. Her eyes seems familiar.. She kept the luggage in front of us and stood their and stared at both us..

"Hello! "

Wait her voice is familiar too..

"Umm can you remove your mask ? " Sahil asked, nodding her head she removed the mask.. My eyes widen.. Simran! Seriously.. She is the same girl who was doing the treatment of Mishti and also has a big crush on Sahil. Wtf is she doing here..

"Umm actually I came to Paris one month before for my PG studies but I was not finding a good house.. Yesterday I had a talk with Mishti mam and she said about you.. Aadarsh sir sent me the adress and said I can live here.. Don't worry I will give the rent but please let me live here.. Actually this place is unknown that's why, " she said in one go and I and Sahil stared with her with an open mouth..

This is definitely Mishti's plan to bring Sahil and Simran close.. Sahil came near me and brought his face to my ears..

"I guess we should let her live here.. She is a doctor too, so in case anything happens to both of us she can treat us.. And Chacha will come tomorrow, she can take care of him too.. And moreover over if one member will stay with us na, then that Aalisha will make some distance from us.. " he whispered near my ears.. I nodded in agreement.. All this time Simran was looking at Sahil with a smile.. A fangirl definitely!!

"But a small room is here near the kitchen, if you don't have any problem you can stay there, " I said, she nodded excitedly.. She was about to take her luggage but Sahil helped her. She must be feeling butterflies.. Should I say about her feeling to Sahil? Umm no! I should not.. Let them handle their personal life.. I have enough problem in my life..

"Oh Abir you came? " Aalisha asked coming from upstairs..

No my ghost came..

She directly sat beside me and roamed her finger on my cheek.. I made some distance and shifted my position.. "You look so tired! " she said seductively.. I rolled my eyes.. From tomorrow I won't have to face her as her brother and father both will be here.. Someone please throw her out of this house.. But it's her own home.. I sighed..

"Actually he came from work na, that's why! " Sahil said and jumped between us, I chuckled.. He sat between Aalisha and me.. She rolled her eyes and left..

"Bhai! Why don't you tell that you have a girlfriend.. " Sahil said annoyingly..

"You don't know which type of girl she is! In anyway she will get to know about Mishti, then in a second this news will get viral.. It will be Mishti who will face the problem, media and all.. Which I don't want , atleast till I am here.. Let her breath! " I explained, he sighed..

"Sometimes being rich sucks! " I sighed and he nodded..

"That's why I am helping you, so that you can invest more and more money in food and soon we will be money less, homeless, problem less.. " he said excitedly, I glared at him...

"Imagine we family living in a jungle, " he said dreamily, is he high on something or what?

"You are already a jungly, you don't need to stay in jungle, " I said and walked out.. Otherwise he would have crashed my head.. I went to Aalisha who was talking with Simran.. I told her about Simran's staying in this house.. She was looking reluctant but who cares.. I will give the rent if Chacha asked..

Their house is not big but yes suitable for us to live.. I was not in a mood to take dinner so I went to sleep.. Sahil was watching movie in my room and after some time Simran too joined.. I closed the certain to give myself some privacy.. They were sitting in a distance, Sahil's all focus was on television but her was on Sahil..

God know if they have come here to study or wasting time.. Keeping my all thoughts aside I slept as I have to wake up early..

_______________________

Mishti :)

I should have listened to him at least.. He was looking so tired in the video call.. I should not be this much tough with him at this critical situation.. Atleast I have people around me here, don't know what he must be doing all alone.. He took his dinner or not? Because when he's tired he doesn't eat anything.. It's Meera aunty or me who force him to take his food... I roam here and there, it's just the first day and he is looking so much tensed and tired..

I should have talked with him atleast.. Me being the idiot.. Should I call him and ask if he took his dinner? I mean I should actually.. Love over ego anyday.. I first removed him from the block list , then dialled his number.. But it was switched off.. Seriously!! I then called Sahil, but he didn't pick up.. Something came to my mind.. Simran.. Yeah! I called her, but argh she too didn't pick up..

Sending her to his house was not my idea wholly, Aadarsh bhai is involved too. I had told him about Simran's feeling.. And moreover I know these two boys won't pick up my calls, so I can atleast call Simran and ask about their wellbeing but hell.. She is not picking my calls either.. Whole day Abir must be outside and now his phone would be dead. I threw my phone on the bed and sat on a couch..

When you think that everything is falling into place, God will add more and more problem.. I looked at my fingers and dammm I kept the ring in his bedroom.. I went to Rajvansh house in evening but just talked with Meera aunty, apologized and came back... Tomorrow I will go and will bring back that ring..

I just wish he won't fall sick..
