Mishti woke up due to some noise. She opened her eyes, lights were still off and a lamp was lighting. Abir was not on the bed. She looked here and there for him. She heard someone moaning in pain. Her eyes fell on Abir who was sitting on floor with his toe in his hands.

Mishti (surprisingly)- Kya hua Abir? Waha kyu baithe ho?

Abir (nervously)- Ohh! Maine tumhe jaga diya nah! Woh mai ac off karne ja raha tha but mere toe pe lag gayi.

Mishti (trying to sit)- Toh light on kar lete nah!

Abir (getting up )- Mai tumhe uthana nahi chahta tha.

Abir found the remote of ac and  switched it off. Then, he sat beside Mishti on the bed.

Mishti (smilingly)- I'm very lucky ki mujhe tum mile aur tumhari family Mili. Family se yaad aaya tumne maa ya Ritu ko call kiya?

Abir (Softly)- Haan. Par maine unhe tumhari iss halat ke baare mein nahi bataya warna woh pareshan ho jate. Maine bola Mishti is tired and sleeping.

Mishti (emotionally)- Yaar, I really miss them. Ritu bohot royi thi mere yaha aane se pehle.

Abir (hurriedly)- Haan, Mishti tumne mujhe bataya nahi ki tumhara yaha aana kab aur kaise final hua. Tell me right now.

Mishti told him everything . As she was telling him, the whole scene was flashing in her eyes like a flashback.

After swami ji called and told Mishti that she was being rejected for the role of indu ji, Mishti cried bitterly. Ritu held her and tried to calm her down. After a few minutes, Mishti's phone rang again. It was again swami ji. Mishti hadn't enough courage to pick the call so Ritu picked it up.

Ritu (hesitantly)- Hello! I'm Mishti's friend. She's not in condition to talk to you, sir.

Swamiji (happily)- Arey, Mishti ke liye bohot badi  goodnews hai. I just got message from Anand ji.

Ritu holded the call .

Ritu(to mishti)- Mishti, keh rahe hain koi goodnews hai. Ek baar baat kar le.

Mishti (surprisingly)- Ab kya goodnews ho sakti hai??

Mishti took phone from ritu's hand and talked to Swamiji with a hope in her eyes.

Mishti (hopefully)- Hello! Ji boliye Swamiji.

Swamiji (gladly)- Mishti beta! Anand ji ka message abhi dekha maine. He has rejected you for the role of Indu....

Mishti (cutting his voice)- Woh mujhe pata hai Swamiji.

Swamiji (excitedly)- Arey, puri baat toh suno .  Anand ji ne tumhe unki new movie Dil hai ki maanta nahi mein lead role ke liye select kar liya hai.

Mishti's heartbeat fastened. Her breath hitched. It was really a goodnews. She never expected to work in the same movie with Abir.

Mishti (shocked)- Dil hai ki maanta nahi??

Swamiji (gladly)- Haan, yeh unki new movie hai jiski shooting London mein chal rahi hai.

Tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks but She had a smile on her face. Finally, she was feeling like god also wanted her to meet Abir.

Mishti (weeping emotionally)- Thanks, Swamiji. Aapne bohot achhi news di hai. I'll always be grateful to you.

Swamiji (proudly)- Bas beta, tumhare liye London ki tickets book kar diye hain. Tumhe kal hi aana hoga.
