Abir made sure to drop mishti off at her tent before, everyone gathered because frankly at this point he really was terrified of Nishant and his pranks! And when he confessed that to mishti, she laughed out loud and called Abir cute. Again! But anyway Abir was super super excited for the day he had planned today and he physically couldn't contain it. Mishti was surprised to find yet another parcel for her. This time it was a beautiful peach coloured Anarkali. And for the life of her she couldn't remember which memory was Abir trying to recreate. Not until she read his note that is. It said,
"Angry chorni, this festival, this moment, this colour on you and everything about this day, physically altered my life and a certain chor(ni) stole a chunk of my heart and for good ;)
Toh bolo, angry chorni, kya tum ek baar phir mujhe apne rang mein rangne ko tayyar ho na?"
-yours,
Ajeeb Rajvansh.
Mishti was jumping around in the tent!!! Holi with Abir! Again?? She didn't even want to think about the kind of strings he must be pulling to make this happen here and now! But she decided not to worry about it and got ready and found everyone dressed for Holi! An organiser came and took them to a separate area, which was reserved only for the Maheshwaris and their holi celebrations.
Before mishti could go around looking for Abir, there he was, grabbing mishti's face and colouring it purple. Just as he had, that day. Kunal was so happy, seeing the genuine mirth on Abir's face. With his eyes glowing and shining with pure love and adoration for mishti. And he hated himself for not seeing it earlier. But he consoled himself, because at least he knew now. Nanu too was super glad to see his gadhedo back in action. And just as she did on that day, mishti coloured Abir in pink and said, "ajeeb rajvansh, tum mere rang mein rang chuke ho. Ab tum pe koi aur rang hai chad sakta." She winked. Abir pulled her closer and said, "Koi aur rang chahiye bhi nai, angry chorni!"
"GUYS! Mana ki yall missed each other and all but can we keep this PG 13? I mean puri family yahan hai? Humare saath bhi toh holi khelo abir miyan!" Teased Nishant. Kunal laughed and said, "wohi toh bhai! Hum bhi wait kar rahe hai!" Abir blushed and ran behind both Nishant and nanko. Kuhu and mishti, played the drums this time and badi ma and bade papa, couldn't fathom the amount of sheer happiness that was on mishti's face. And all because of Abir.
"Main na kehti, shaurya ke bauji, mera abir na heera hai." Boasted badi ma. Bade papa nodded at her and smiled at his wife's confidence.
They all played Holi to their hearts content but this time, all moments shared between Kunal and kuhu were completely sober.
Everyone was leaving for their tents when Kunal made an announcement.
"Guys! I know ki yeh poori trip bhai ne plan ki hai. But I have a surprise for my bhai. Kyunki Garbo apni shaan che ne bhai, so aaj raat, I've arranged for special garba raas as a surprise for only and only bhai and mishti. Hum sab bhi khel sakte hain, lekin guests of honour will be bhai and mishti. I'm sorry maine Navratri toh ruin kardi thi for yall and kuhu. But I promise to make tonight equally special for yall."
When mishti reached her tent, Abir was already waiting for her.
"Kya hua Abir? Everything okay?" She asked.
And it's like Abir was awakened from a trance. He was thinking so deeply that he didn't even realise when mishti entered the tent.
"Haan of course mishti, it's just that it's now that I am realising that all our beautiful moments, all our festivities were surrounded by so much drama and chaos. Be it kuhu and Kunal's wedding. Be it Holi, Navratri, Dussehra or even our godhana for that matter. Maine aur Meri family me tum he bohot hurt kiya hai na. I'm so sorry mishti." He confessed. Mishti sat down on the bed next to him and he immediately put his head in her lap. Mishti realised that this had hit him really hard. She gently combed through his hair and said, "Abir, can you tell me what was common in all those celebrations?" Abir looked up at her, and in that moment he looked like a little child with his beautiful hazel eyes, shining with remorse and so much pain. He said, "your pain and your heartache." Mishti caressed his forehead and said, "nahi Ajeeb rajvansh. Not even close. The common and the most important part in all those moments was you, my love. It was the fact that you were there. With me. Believing in me. Supporting me. And loving me. Making each of those days beautiful and memorable. Right now if you ask me, that what is it that I remember from kuhu's haldi, I'll tell you that all I remember and choose to remember and cherish is how you sneaked into my room, and hugged me and asked me if I was okay. No other questions asked. I remember how you made me your priority. How you lifted me when everyone around me was pulling me down. And I love you so much for always being my go to person Abir. You have taught me how to live and love life. Aur ab tum hi bhool gaye?" Mishti smiled. Abir softly smiled at her and kissed her palm. "Waise I'm really proud of nanko. He's grown up so much and so fast!"said abir.
"I am happy too! But I don't know why you're surprised. Of course he was going to turn out great the moment he realised the truth about everyone and everything abir. Woh tumhara bhai hai abir. You're like the voice of reason in his heart and mind. You're like his mom, dad, bhai, friend, guide and well wished all rolled into one!" Exclaimed Mishti. Abir grinned at her and said, "hmmm kehti raho! Mujhe apni tareef sunna bohot accha lagta hai!" Joked abir. Mishti hit his chest and abir got up to leave when Mishti said, "suno!" Abir laughed and turned around, "blue tum par kafi accha lagta hain, bas ab let your hair grow, then everything will be perfect!" Teased Mishti with a wink. Abir laughed and turned to leave again when Mishti said, "suno!" And abir turned again and Mishti said, "thank you, Ajeeb Rajvansh!" Abir smiled and turned to leave again, only to be stopped by Mishti. Again. "Suno' she said. Abir turned around again. "Kuch nai jao!" She winked. Abir laughed and left. Something's really don't change he thought. Content with how his planning was working out so far, he skipped to his tent. To find jugnu lost in his dreamland.
"Arey jugnu? Kya hua?" Asked abir.
"Woh abir bhaiya. Main soch raha tha, ki pichle do mahino mein aap itne udas the and Maine phir bhi dhyan nahi diya. Lekin Mishti didi ke aane se aap ke chehre pe kya glow hai. Main bohot khush hoon aapke liye bhaiya." Said jugnu. Abir immediately hugged jugnu and said, "mera sabse pyara bhai hai tu!" And squished him. Relationships really didn't need blood to bind them. Love really was enough.
"Abir bhaiya aur ek sawal hai. Puchu?" Asked jugnu. "Puch jugnu puch!" Said abir.
"Aap mere bhaiya ho. Abir bhaiya. To uss hisaab se Mishti didi meri bhabhi hui. Toh kya main unko bhabhi bula sakta hoon!?" Jugnu asked. Abir laughed and said, "bilkul! Yeh bhi koi puchne wali baat hai! Jo mann mein woh bula sakta hai tu. Mere liye tujh mein, Nanko mein, Atul mein aur ketu mein koi difference nai hai. And I'm sure ki Mishti ke liye bhi nahi hai!" Jugnu got so happy that he immediately jumped and skipped towards Mishti's tent to call her bhabhi already.
Abir on the other hand was wondering what to do for the raas tonight. The last time they celebrated raas together it was pretty epic. So what could he do that would beat the last time? He thought and later smirked when he got the perfect idea.
Mishti, on the other hand was smirking too because she had found the perfect way to beat abir at his own game. Neither could wait for tonight! Teasing Abir Rajvansh had a different level of fun.
