Arranged in love

26. Priceless!

Nishant and Anand ji returned back. Nishant knocked the door of vanity and Mishti came out. Her face was very dull and pale. Her face was stained with dry tears. Nishant felt pity to see her like this. He had never saw her this much hopeless.

Nishant (trying to encourage Mishti)- Mishti..... Don't be sad....woh thik ho jayega. Usey room mein lekar chalte hain.

Mishti nodded and tried to wipe her tears but as soon as she wiped, more tears flowed down her cheeks. Team members rushed inside vanity and they carried Abir with his hands on their shoulders. Nishant was one of them. He was worried for him too. Only he knew how he was trying to control his tears. They carried Abir to his room and helped him to lay on the bed. He was still unconscious. Aarohi and Mishti followed after.

Nishant (to Mishti and Aarohi)- Girls! Hum sab baari baari se Abir ke room mein rahenge aur uska khayal rakhenge...usey kabhi bhi hosh aa sakta hai.

Mishti (with teary eyes)- I'll be here for him. Baki sab rest kar sakte hain.

Nishant (boldly)- Tum puri raat nahi jaag sakti Mishti. Let's help you.

Mishti (confidently)- No! Agar baat Abir ki hai to Mai puri raat jaag sakti hoon. I'll do it.

Aarohi (rubbing her back)- Mishti, try to understand....

Mishti (cutting her voice)- Please! Let me do it. Please!

Nishant (exhausted)- okay! Par hum bich bich mein dekhne aate rahenge. Tum yahi ho toh achha hai.

Mishti nodded and everyone else left the room. Mishti sat on the bed beside Abir. She was constantly staring him, she didn't want to lose his sight even for a second. She grabbed his hand and rubbed it.

Mishti (with tears rolling)- Please god! Abir ko thik kar do. Abir ko hosh kyu nahi aa raha?? Wake up, Abir!

Whole night, Mishti couldn't sleep. Her eyes never left his sight and her hands never left his hand. The sun rose and Sunrays made their way into the room through the window.

Mishti (Looking at window)- Finally! Ab Abir ko jaldi hi hosh aa jayega.

She tightened her grip on his hand just then, the door knocked. She walked towards the door and opened it to find Nishant and Aarohi on the door. She let them walk in.

Nishant (still in his night clothes)- Hosh aaya?

Mishti (sadly)- Nahi. Not yet.

Nishant sat on the corner of bed and Aarohi on a chair.

Nishant (worriedly)- Ab tak toh aa jana chahiye tha.

Aarohi (trying to cheer up Mishti)- Aa jayega. Hope for the best!

Mishti was about to shut the door when her phone rang. It was Ritu. She hasn't talked to her for long due to her tight schedule and time difference. Mishti couldn't talk to her in front of Nishant and Aarohi.

Mishti (grabbing her phone)- Excuse me! Mai abhi yeh call attend karke aayi.

She walked out and to her room. And then she picked up the call.

Mishti (trying to sound happy)- Hello! Bol Ritu.

Ritu (irritated)- Aap dono toh hume bhool hi gaye ho. Koi call nahi, kuchh nahi.

Mishti (fake smile)- Arey nahi! Hum thode busy hain nah! Tu bta kaisi hai??

Ritu - Mishti, bhai kahan hai?? Unka phone switch off bata raha hai.

Mishti (fake chuckling)- Arey! Yeh Abir bhi nah! Bohot careless hai. Phone charge hi nahi kiya....battery dead ho gayi.

Mishti remembered that she switched his phone off to avoid any contact from the family as she didn't want them to worry for him and she wasn't in a condition to talk to them.
