"Abir, by when will you reach the venue tomorrow?" Mishti asked him as they were talking on phone that evening. Its been nearly a month since their first official date and since then they had been bonding really well.

It was Kunal and kuhu's engagement next day and both the families were busy with preparations.

But mishti sensed Abir's family also looked tensed these days, she also noticed how his mom and Kunal were showing special treatment for mishti's grandfather. For example, they had invited him for the family dinner last weekend to celebrate kuhu and kunal's impending engagement, when it was only supposed to be between Rajvansh and Maheshwari families. And then they kept asking him if he preferred any specific food, kept making sure if he was comfortable

And then they personally went to his mansion to extend the invitation for engagement. Mishti had tried to think it probably was normal but when Kuhu confirmed that they only mailed other invitations, her doubts started rising again.

She decided to ask Abir about it.

"By the way Abir, your mom and Kunal seem really fond of my dada ji. I wonder why?" she asked skeptically

Abir immediately understood what she was trying to ask. And he knew the answer. Only he could not tell her that. Not like this phone and definitely just yet. He was not trying to betray her or keep her in dark but he wanted to ensure she would understand he was innocent in all this before he confided in her.

So he replied, "No idea. Probably they are just trying to form a good impression so he lets his granddaughter marry into our family"

Abir could imagine mishti blush hearing that and she surely did.

Thankfully the conversation was dropped at that point.

The party was buzzing with guests and refreshments were being served. Mishti looking gorgeous in her blue lehenga with matching kundan jewelry and subtle makeup. But she was aware that she was receiving appreciative gazes from audience, specially the men. However, she was getting nervous by the constant staring of one man, who himself was looking no less than handsome, Abir

If she was center of attraction then so was he, what with all of Kuhu's friends trying to flirt with him shamelessly. For the first time in her life, Mishti felt something close to jealousy

'wait, how can that happen? We have barely known each other for a month and have just started dating' she mentally facepalmed herself

"Mishti, beta can you please get the sweet box from upstairs? It contains the handmade meethai I made specially to feed kuhu and kunal once they exchange rings" Badi ma asked mishti

"Ji Badi ma, I will get it" saying so she went upstairs

She found the box in the guest room upstairs and she was about to head out when she collided on a hard chest

"What are you-" she was trying to shout at the intruder but she felt a hand covering her mouth. And she heard his voice

"shh, its me Abir. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute"

Seeing her relax, he removed his hand. He had seen her go upstairs and had followed her. He had to talk to her.

"Abir, you silly fool, you scared me. What is it?" she asked, slamming his arm, trying to regain the balance.

"This" he said opening a box of ring, showing a beautiful gold band

"WHAT?" she gasped. she hoped it was not what she thought it was, it was too soon and she was still undecided.
