Mishti's POV. -

I couldn't do this. I can't face her again. Seeing her was making me weak and that was the last thing I wanted to happen.

I stepped out of the temple along with Anchal. Nishant and Shlok followed us. I climbed down the last stair and my heartbeat raced. I inhaled deeply before my hand went to my chest. I need to leave as soon as possible. I was walking towards the stairs when someone grabbed my hand and jerked me to face them.

I flinched but my eyes widened seeing the person holding my hand.

Didi.

I looked at her bewildered. She was panting while her eyes were moist. I felt my chest tightening just looking at her teary eyes. Unknowingly my eyes also watered but it was not the moment to get weak. I gulped and broke eye contact.

"Yes?"

I tried hard not to let my voice break. She left my hand and kept staring at me making me feel uneasy. I don't know why she was here. And her gaze held a lot of emotions, which I was not ready to face. She took a step closer before holding my shoulders.

"Mishti?"

She called me with her trembling voice. I instantly got reminded of all the times when she used to call me and run after me. I felt my eyes burning but I couldn't let the tears fall. She cupped my cheek gently and smiled through her tears before pulling me into a tight hug.

I felt the chaos in me coming to an end. Her embrace was warm and comforting. She was my home. The home that I have been longing for the past 16 years. The moment she wrapped her hands around me, I felt my walls breaking. My lips quivered and with my trembling hands, I hugged her back. I closed my eyes letting the tears break the barrier of my eyes and flow. It was the moment where I didn't want to hold anything.

She hugged me tightly and cried on my shoulder. My tears were silently falling hearing her sob.

"My baby."

She caressed my head while clutching me tightly. The fear of her not remembering me vanished seeing her tears and hearing her cry. This one hug proved to me that she had been longing for me the same way I did. She didn't forget me.

"When did you get so big?"

She asked and gently held my chin before looking at me up and down. Her gaze held admiration, pain and happiness altogether. She was biting her lips trying not to cry anymore but her eyes were betraying her. I couldn't see her shed any more tears. I brought my hands closer to her cheek and wiped her tears making her look at me with a soft stare.

"Didi."

I whisper causing her to smile widely and hug me again. She smiled through tears and it made me feel oozed. I didn't know what was going to happen next but at this moment I was happy.

She parted from the hug and cupped my cheeks to wipe the tears staining them. I didn't realise I was crying with her.

"You recognised me yesterday, right?"

She asked making me stare at her silently before I lowered my head. She lightly slapped my forearm.

"Aisee kya narajagi apanee Didi se ki ekabaar baat karane ka bhi man nahin kiya."
