Abir P.O.V

After reaching home at almost 6:30 pm I was going to knock door when someone kept a soft cloth near my eyes causing me to close my eyes. The person tied knot from behind.

"Nanko Kya kr rha hai yaar??" I kept asking but no answer.

"Bhai aapko kaise pata ?"

Gadha

"Ketu aur Mishti ki height itni nhi hai. So bacha tu hi na"

"Bhai not fair aap Meri bhabhi ko choti keh rhe ho. U can't underestimate her "

"Bhabhi ke chamche Teri bhabhi ne Jo krne bola hai wo kr time pass mt kr samjha"

I was sure about it she will not keep quiet. She can't sit in one place for more than 5 minutes. Keeps hopping like rabbit.

"Ek minute aapko kaise pata plan bhabhi ka hai?"

If I will not know her then who will??

"Meenu ka Munna tu kb bada hoga? Mujhe idea tha ki dal me kuch kala hai. Ab yahi khade rehne ka irrada hai Kya?"

"Ok ok chalo me aapko le chalta hu"

He took me to my rooms washroom probably because the path is known to me I was standing at door.

He went and then I heard door locking voice

"Nanko kaha hai? Patti khol du?"

He shouted from outside

"Ha khol dijiye aur waha kuch kapde rakhe hai pehen kr Bahar aaiye"

Opening the blinds I saw that I was in my washroom.

There was a packet kept it had a black suit with purple tie.

So she is going to wear purple dress.

Quickly having a shower I wear that suit and came out and there she was wearing a off shoulder purple gown looking beautiful with that smile on her face.

She made me stand near bed's edge and then she climbed on bed and again blind folded me.

Her height problem can't reach my eyes level.

"To chale friend?" She asked

What friend? When did I become her friend?

"Mishti when did we become friends?"

"Mere liye to pehle din se lekin aapke liye abhi se" this girl always confuses me.

I felt her getting down from bed and standing in front of me.

She took my palm in her tiny, soft hands  and acted as if shaking it.

" To ab chale" asked Mishti.

Ok so now onwards my dilemma of naming our relationship is cleared.

"Chalo"

"Ruko" came a reply.

"Why"

"Because I have to wear sandals otherwise I will look to short in front of you" she said I was able to imagine her pout.

"Ab Chalo" Mishti said after few minutes.

She grabbed my palm and lead me to hall.

I could feel balloons hitting my legs.

Probably she made me stand in center of hall.

And then someone opened my blind fold.

It took me few seconds to get clear vision and then the sight in front of me was shocking.

It was Nanu and Parul Massi both didn't visited our home since my marriage. I was definitely missing them. Then I saw Kuhu standing beside Nanko.

I just ran and hugged both Nanu and Massi tight.

They wished me happy birthday. They very rarely stay at Rajvansh sadan reason not known.

I was happy seeing them and smiling like idiot. Then I looked around no one was there except family members.

So she knew I won't like anyone else. This girl knows how to make me happy.

We all talked for few minutes then I saw Kuhu bringing the cake in trolly.

I never talked with her very much. Infact after Advika left I talked less with females. Maybe because of fear inside me.

I don't know why but I felt the cake Should be brought by Maa or Mishti why Kuhu brought it.

Cutting the cake I feed it to everyone this time I didn't hesitate to feed Mishti.

Once the cake was taken back I again started talking to Nanu and Massi.

While everyone was seated in living area I saw Nanko coming back from his room he sat next to Nanu.

And then after few minutes Kuhu came from nanko's room and there was a hickey mark on her neck which was clearly seen.

"Nanko Kuhu ko party ke liye bulaya hai ya Tere khud ke kaam ke liye?"

I asked everyone looked at me then at Nanko and then at Kuhu and burst out laughing with me.

In past few years I didn't teased Nanko or anyone. My own behavior surprised me.

Whatever it may be the surrounding was happy and contended which was most important.

After few more chatting hours we went to have dinner that's when I realized the living room was decorated with black and golden balloons. And few flowers.

Sitting on dining table I glanced at dishes again my favorite dishes.

Always Mishti sits beside me but toady she made Massi and Nanu sit along me.

Massi with all the love she has feed me the food. The cake was even served with dinner.

While nanu kept cracking his old age jokes.

The food was again awesome. Only the kadhai paneer was spicy which we can be ok with because she made so many things instead of appreciating her efforts, pointing out her weakness is not good.

Everyone praised her cooking skills.

When everyone was on the verge of finishing dinner Mishti asked di to bring sweet.

And the sweet dish was nothing but my favorite Gulab Jamun. After eating it Gulab jamun became my most favorite dish. The taste was heaven not too sweet not too dim but perfect. Perfectly soaked, perfectly fried, perfect shape. Everything was perfect.

I need to meet the person who taught her cooking.

After having dinner we all once again started chit chatting. Look who is talking Abir Rajvansh. Huhh I never talked too much after father's death.

And to my surprise Massi and Nanu were going to stay atleast for 10-20 days.

Shock was understatement here. Everyone left for their respective room while Mishti and me showed Massi and Nanu their rooms.

Coming back to our room I was waiting for her gift but my sub conscience mocked me saying

'she did so much for you . Morning breakfast, then the surprise and then dinner it might have took all ounce of her energy to prepare so much food. And you are expecting a gift from her. Nanu is right you are a gadheda'

And she came with a gift for me. It seemed like big photo frame wrapped in gift paper .

Which photo she got framed? Is it out marriage photo? Or anything else?

She handed it over to me and said

"Happy birthday Abir"

Out of curiosity I opened it and it was collage of my pics right from my birth till Advika came in my life.

It had my childhood photo with me carrying Nanko, a pic with my mother and father, pic when I completed my education, our siblings pic, pic with nanu and Massi , and lastly a whole family picture.

I slightly caressed the photos with a smile on my face.

In the middle it had mirror. I didn't understood why there was a mirror?

"Mishti ye mirror kyu?"

" Taaki aapke past ke saath saath aapka present bhi isme aapko dikhe."

Intelligent yet creative.

"Aur agr kabhi sacche dost ki zarorat ho to iss frame ko dekh lijiye ga. Ye aapke saare problems ka solution de dega"
she explained me in very soft voice.

"Mishti aaj ka saara Khana bohot accha bana tha"

"Ok" came a reply

She left for washroom while I was busy in processing her words. I kept the frame on study table.

What an idiot I am? I didn't compliment her today nor did thanks her for the surprise.

I was thinking to sleep with nanu then dropped the idea as Mishti would have to sleep alone.

She came out when I was in my trance and said

"Abir aap jaake Nanu ke saath so jaeye Massi maa ke saath so rhi hai. Me ketu ke saath so jaungi"

She said in one go clearing all my doubts.
With that she went to Ketki's room, but wait she is coming back why?

"Abir aaj ke dishes me se koi aapke liye rakhni hai?"

Why is she asking so? Is she going to throw remaining dishes? No she wont she doesnt like wasting food then?

"Wo kyu Mishti?"

"Khana bohot jyada bach gaya hai to maine socha baju ke shiv mandir me bhej du waha mandir ke bahar baithe logo me batne ke liye"

Ok so this is it. Then I think I  should tell her to keep everything because I liked everything.

"Rajma and gulab Jamun" I answered after lot of thinking.

She went. I sighed turned and looked towards the frame where should I hang it?

Taking a look of room I decided to hang it on the study table wall as it is vacant this big frame would be enough for it to look good.

Tomorrow I will ask Jugnu to hang it.
Looking towards my bed the bedsheet is of Maroon colour.

Mishti didn't even leave those bedsheets. Before her they were of black, blue and grey color. But she has started using few other dark colors like maroon, chocolate, purple, burgundy,etc.

I went towards Nanu's room there he was listening to songs.

Seeing me he switched off the player and said

"Aaja gadheda aaj to Teri biwi ne Kamal hi krdia. Itna Sara Khana to meenu  pure ek hafte me nahi banaya hota"

I was just smiling I joined him to bed and said I will sleep with him he gave me shocking reaction and said

" Tu gadheda iss waqt apni biwi ke pass hona chahiye mere saath nhi"

"Aree relax nanu ussine kaha hai mujhe yaha sone ke liye aur wo Ketki ke saath hai"

I tried to explain

" Tune usse thanks kuch bola ya phir chaldiya muh uthake "

"Kaha hai Nanu"

I am here to talk about Mishti ?

"Pata hai usne aaj Ghar ka mandir bohot acche se sajaya tha. Wo bhi nhi dekha tune?"

Why everyone here is talking about Mishti?

"Nanu aapko pata hai na me waha nhi jata. Baba ki death ke baad aapne mujhse kaha tha ki mujhe life ko ek chance Dena chahiye aur Maine Diya uske baad Kya hua ?Advika!"

I was disappointed with that fact.

I was not even ready for marriage but maa she emotional blackmailed me on the name of father's wish and her health.

I didn't had any option but marrying.

While vidaai her father Mr. Vishamber Maheshwari said to

"She has been the princess of this home keep her like queen their. And give all the happiness she deserves"

That moment did something inside me.
From then I decided if I can't give her happiness I should not hurt her.

So it is the reason I have not said anything to her even about blackmail that Maa did to me.

It's not that I don't believe in God I do my father taught me to believe in God. I do agree that God is there but I am upset with him why he snatched my father from us?

Why he made me fall in love with Advika? Why?

I thought when Mishti will come here she will remain silent or sad always as her husband wouldn't be showing interest in her.  I thought she will make it an big issue. She will complain about me to everyone.
Or even file a divorce.

But look at her she is happy here.  She understands me. She made every family member to her side look now even Nanu is appreciating her he forgot me.

She is an exception.

She daily asks me to join her on terrace. The reason I don't join her is me and Advika had many cozy moments their it was ours favorite place.

I have not visited Terrace since she broke up with me.

That day she pampered Ketu like a mother Pampers her child. That day I saw a mother in her.

We continued talking by then Kunal came to join us after dropping Kuhu in her home.

We three talked till late night and we don't know when sleep took over us.

*********

I don't if I reached your expectations.

I tried my best.

I hope Abir's feelings are clear to you all.

I think husband and wife do teach each other some good things like Mish taught Abir to not waste food.

Long updates do take little time so sorry for taking so much time.
