After they ate Abir took Mishti and went to the lakeside, he had decorated it in the same way as their first date. Mishti was amazed. 

M: ' wow Abir, when did you get time to do all this?'

A: Anything regarding you, i make the time for. Do you like it?

M: I love it, its so beautiful.

A: But not as beautiful as you. I have something for you, close your eyes.

M: You already did so much, now what?

A: 'Just close your eyes angry chorni.' Mishti closed her eyes and Abir pulled the chain and mirror pendant out of his pocket. He made it wear it while telling her to keep her eyes closed. 'Nice, now open your eyes.' When she opened her eyes, and looked at the pendant, she remembered when he pulled the pendant and threw it in the lake and got sad, but immediately cheered up seeing it in its rightful place again....around her neck. Abir caught the moment of sadness in her face and knew that even if he wants he cant erase all the bad memories, but he will keep trying until all that is left is good, happy memories.

M: Thank you so much Abir for getting me a new one.

A: This isn't a new one, there can be no other to replace the one you had, so i fished it out of the lake after you left that day. I knew how special it was, so how could i let it go? Mishti i know i hurt you so much that day, the last thing i wanted to do was rip this chain out, but i knew that maybe that was the only way you would leave me and go. I am so sorry. Please mujhe maaf karo.'

Abir's eyes were filled with tears and Mishti couldn't see him like that. She grabbed his face with her hands. M: 'Stop it now, all that is in the past, i don't want to see you unhappy again. I want my ajeeb rajvansh to be his ajeeb self again, not this dukhi rajvansh. I know you were in such a situation that you had to do all this, and baar baar sorry bolna bandh karo. You know i forgave you long ago.'

A: I know Mishti but still....

M: No, enough is enough, we have both had our share of sorrow over the past few months, now no more. Okay?

A: You are right. Now is the time for us to be happy with each other. No more tears and sadness.

Just then BB phoned Abir. A: Oh no, this Maa bhi, she always phones at the wrong time. Its like she knows when it the worst time to phone and that's when she calls. She can wait, i don't want to talk to her now' and he cuts the call.

She phones again. M: ' Answer the call, maybe its something important related to your family'

Abir  answers the call.' Maa, is everything okay?'

BB: Nahi Abir, please come home soon, your Nanu's health is not good.

A: What? what happened to Nanu?

BB: Just come home soon.

A: Okay, i am coming now.

Mishti was worried hearing about Nanu, ' what is wrong with Nanu,?'

A: i don't know, Maa just said hes not well. Come Mishti, i will drop you off at home quickly.

M: nahi Abir, you go quickly, meh ghar chali jaoungi and please let me know how Nanu is.

Abir rushed home, all the time thinking could have gone wrong with Nanu. As he entered the courtyard, he saw his mother waiting for him. she looked very calm and this worried him.

A: Maa, why are you here? And what happened to Nanu?

BB: Nothing happened yet, but something could happen Abir, if you keep meeting that girl , MISHTI!!.

Abir was shocked, how did his mother find out about Mishti being back? 

BB: KYA TUM BHOOL GAYE, KE 2 MAHINE PEHLE MAINE KYA KAHA THA? TUM USS LADKI KO APNI ZINDAGI MEH VAPAS AGAR LAUNGE TOH PARINAAM KYA HOGA, TUM AACHE TARE SE JAANTE HO,ABIR! MUJHE MAJBOOR MAT KARO KEH MEH KUNAL KO SACH BATA DU. AUR AGAR SACH BATA DIYA TOH USKE BAAD ISS FAMILY KE SAATH JOH KUCH BHI HOGA, WOH TUMHARI GALTI HOGI!! 

A: Maa, please aisa kuch mat karo. Kunal is your son too. These past 2 months, you have seen how unhappy i have been, can't you see my happiness is Mishti.

BB: USSSS LADKI KABHI KHUSHI NAHI LAA SAKTI, IF SHE SETS FOOT IN YOUR LIFE AGAIN, THIS FAMILY WILL BE RUINED. 

With that she walked away leaving Abir distraught.  Meanwhile Mishti was getting worried thinking about how Nanu was, she wanted to phone Abir, but thought he will be busy. She tried to call Kuhu instead.

Kuhu: Hello.

M: Kuhu, how is Nanu?

Kuhu: Nanu? He is hashtag super cool, why?

M: Is his health okay?

Kuhu: Miss Mishti, why are you asking such an odd question,of course hes okay. In fact hes here cracking his hashtag oldie jokes.

Mishti was shocked, and she put the phone down. Why did Abir's mom tell him his Nanu was sick then? Oh no, it means that his mom is up to something, did she find out about them? She tried calling Abir, but he didnt answer... Mishti gets stressed thinking what must be happening.

Abir saw her call, but what would he tell her? She was already so upset thinking about the future and he didnt want to put her through more stress, but he also didnt want to lie to her. Why did his mother always put him into these kinds of situations?? He gets a message from Mishti: ' Abir, I know Nanu is fine, what happened with your mother. You promised no more secrets, I need to know.' She was right, secrets caused all these problems, he couldnt keep anything from her. So he sent her a message, " Meet me at the lakeside"

(At Lakeside)

Abir was tensed, he had his head in his hands and didnt even turn back when Mishti arrived. She knew of course that his mother was the cause of his tension. She put a hand on his shoulder, he immediately turned and held her waist keeping his head against her stomach, tears filling up in his eyes.

A: Why, why does my mother keep doing this to me? All my life she has lied and manipulated me using the family's happiness as an excuse, and she is doing that once again. Why does she not see my happiness? or does she even care if i am happy or not? Why Mishti, why is my mother like this? All my life i yearned for Baba's love and when i found it, it turned out to be a lie. I yearn for my mothers love but only get manipulated and lied to in return. Why is my destiny like this?

Mishti's heart broke, she was abandoned by her parents and a part of her died, but her BM and BP supported her and made her whole again. Abir has had to fight alone and make himself strong. But she wont allow her Ajeeb Rajvansh to be hurt. No one is allowed to do that to him.

She takes his hands in her and sits down next to him. M: Tell me Abir, what your Maa told you.

Abir related the entire incident to her. She was take aback that Meenakshi aunty found out about them so soon, but it had to come out sooner or later. She wiped Abir's tears.

M: Nahi Abir, dont cry. We are stronger together remember, the last time your mom blackmailed you, you had to fight her alone, but this time we are together. We wont let anything happen to Kunal or Parul Maasi. We will find a solution to this problem, but you need to be strong. Where is that Ajeeb Aadmi who fought against his mother for all the right things. Come on Abir we will bother find a way out together.
Only Mishti could have the solution to his problem, and she was his strength, as long as he had her, no problem was too big.
A: Angry chorni, what would I do without you??....Actually forget I said that, I was without u and I dont ever wanna be without u again. You are right of course together we will solve this problem.
He hugged her and felt positive for the first time that everything will be fine.
