Arranged in love

7. Miles apart

Abir stopped the car just in front of the backdoor of the house because he didn't want to take the risk of being noticed by the media . He shaked Mishti's hand, intending to wake her up. She was sleeping like a little child and she looked so adorable when she slightly opened her eyes.
Abir (smilingly)- Ab uth jao, Mishti! We're home. Utho.

Mishti (yawning)- Kya yaar! Mai bohot tired hu aaj.

Abir (chuckling)- Achha, pehle din hi thak gayi. Toh famous actress kaise banogi???

Mishti (squinting her eyes)- Don't underestimate my potential, Abir Rajvansh.

Abir (shaking Mishti's head)- Okay, so show me your potential and get up.

Mishti got up and walked into the house with a cute pout on her face. Abir followed her after parking the car. As soon as Mishti entered the house, ritu hugged her tightly. Ritu and Mishti shared a very close bond. They were like sisters. Even, they were of same age, that's why they found extreme comfort level in each other.

Ritu(happily)- Bhabhi, I was waiting for you.

Mishti (cutely pouted)- Maa nahi hai, tu mujhe Mishti bol sakti hai.

Ritu (Rolling her eyes)- Yup! Ab tu mujhe sab btayegi Mishti. Kesa raha first day??

Mishti and ritu sat on the sofa, and Mishti was telling her everything about her first day experience. Just then, Abir entered the house. He sat on a chair, a little away from both girls. Mishti continued to share her experience.

Mishti (excitedly)- Aur pata hai, Mr. Swami is so down to earth. He appreciated me. Sachi yaar, it was wonderful.

Ritu(loudly)- Tujhe pta hai, mai tere hi baare mein soch rahi thi purey din.

Mishti's eyes widened as she knew that Abir was sitting there but ritu was so excited to listen to mishti that she didn't acknowledge Abir's presence there. Both girls were so comfortable with each other but ritu knew that her family will never let her call Mishti by her name, so in front of maa and Abir, ritu used to call Mishti as Bhabhi and with so much formality. Soon, ritu realised Abir's presence and she slammed her head with her hands feeling pity for herself.

Ritu(nervously)- Bhai, aapne kuch suna toh nahi??

Abir (with a smirk)- Haan, suna nah! Sab sun liya.

Ritu(stammering)- Bhai, woh flow flow mein nikal gya muh se. Aisa kuch hai nahi....

Abir (chuckling)- Ab zyada ban mat, mujhe sab pta hai. Aur isme sorry ki kya baat hai?? Tum dono agar comfortable ho ,toh karo tu tadak!

Ritu (surprisingly)- Sach bhai??

Abir- Haan! Aur mujhse kucch chhupaya mat karo tum dono.

Mishti (teasingly)- Achha! Aapko bada interest hai humari baato mein.

Abir (with a sarcastic smile)- ji nahi. Par woh meri behan hai aur woh mujhe btayegi toh mai uska saath dunga.

Ritu (interrupted)- Bhai! Uski tension aap mat lo, Mishti hai nah.

Abir was glad to see their bond. He could never think that this girl would accept his family as her, would bond with his family more than him.

After talking for several hours, Mishti went into her room. Abir followed her. Then, Abir and Mishti's rapid fire round started.

Abir- Mishti, director ne pareshaan toh nahi kiya??

Mishti- Nahi , woh toh bohot sweet hain.

Abir- Wese toh main Arvind Kohli ko janta hoon, he's a good person, but tumhare saath sahi se behave toh kiya nah usne?
