After seeing the sunrise together, both Abir and mishti decided to catch up on some sleep and called it a night.
Abir woke up around lunchtime, and expected to find mishti in bed next to him, but to his surprise she wasn't there! He sprinted out of bed, ran outside to look for mishti! But to his surprise, he found mishti standing inside the kitchen, wearing a pair of shorts and what looked like his white T-shirt. He stood by the door, with his arms crossed over his chest and looked at her, admired her. She looked like she was in the middle of a video call?
"Okay guys, perfect. Maine cheesecake set karne ke liye rakh diya hai, aur pasta bake ho raha hai. Aur badi ma, safe side ke liye, dhokala bhi steam ho raha hai. Thanks guys. And thanks kunal, yeh sab, ingredients and sab arrange karne ke liye. Pata nahi mein yeh sab kaise manage karti. Ab Kunal, tum jaao aur enjoy karo. Aur badi ma aap bhi khana kha lijiye. Mein jaake freshen up ho jaati hoon, before abir wakes up. Bye guys!" She said and hung up. She sighed happily looking at everything she had prepared for Abir. Hopefully the taste would turn out to be good. She looked at her clothes and smiled looking at Abir's t-shirt. Even tucked in, it was super huge for her, but as she has always said, she doesn't care about clothes. Comfort was of more importance! And she loved seeing Abir in his white T shirt and she loved the t shirt as well.
She looked up and found Abir leaning by the door, with a smile on his face, glimmer in his eyes and he looked absolutely adorable with his ruffled hair. It was so unfair how good he looked, despite just getting out of bed. He literally woke up like this and it was totally unfair how delectable he looked in his pyjamas!!
Abir slowly walked towards her and started plucking random ingredients out of her hair. His wife really couldn't cook. He picked her up and helped her sit on the counter and got a cloth and started cleaning her face, all the while laughing at how adorable she looked. He never realises how tiny she actually is, until he sees her like this.
"Abir, tum mujh par hass rahe ho?" She asked with a pout.
"Nahi, mishti. Mein tum par nahi, tumhari haalat per hass raha hoon. Tum jaanti ho na ki yeh vacation tumhare liye hai? You didn't have to cook?" He asked with a smile.
Mishti grumbled and said, "haan haan. Mujhe pata hai, lekin, I wanted to do something special for you, ajeeb rajvansh. Ab nahi karungi!" She jumped down from the counter and walked away. Well at lease she tried. Abir caught her hand and pulled her back, "Arey! Angry chorni, violent mat bano. I was just teasing you!" He laughed.
"Ha ha. Very funny. Pata hai, bichara Kunal, kuhu ko chhod kar meri help kar raha tha. Badi ma, bhi. Aur tum mera mazak uda rahe ho." She grumbled and walked away. Abir laughed at his angry chorni. She was a cute little thing, but she was super lethal when she got angry. He saw that mishti had walked outside and towards the pool and feeling extra mischievous Abir, silently walked behind mishti, picked her up in his arms and dropped her in the pool.
"Mishti, yaar. Thoda chill karo! Mein bas tumhe chidha raha tha!" He said, kneeling by the pool.
Mishti came on to the surface of the water and put her hair away from her face and said, "YOU, YOU MAHA AJEEB RAJVANSH. MEIN TUMHE CHHODUNGI NAHI!" She got super angry.
"Accha, sorry sorry mishti. Bahar aa jao." Abir said and offered her a hand. She grabbed his hand, with both of her hands and pulled him down with all her might. And Abir fell into the pool, in his pyjamas too! Now it was Mishti's turn to laugh! Abir rubbed his eyes and looked at her in mock anger. "MISHTI!!!" He said, he tried to keep a straight face but ended up laughing.
"Mujhe pakad ke dikhao, ajeeb rajvansh!" Mishti teased and swam to the other side of the pool. Abir laughed and swam behind her, trying to catch her. Mishti kept splashing him with water, just teasing him and enjoying the time off.
But suddenly, Abir was no where to be seen, before she could turn around to look for him, she felt something grab her from under the water and felt two arms around her stomach. She screamed! Abir picked her up, in his arms, bridal style and looked at her and said, "caught you!" Mishti gulped at the mischief in his eyes.
Abir, gently brushed back the hair away from her face and traced her eyes and her nose and said, "waise, mishti. Mera T-shirt bhi tumne chura liya. T-shirt chorni!" He teased. Mishti laughed and said, "I think you already knew that. Mein angry chorni hoon, khichdi chorni hoon, aur ab t shirt chorni bhi. No ones gonna save you, ajeeb rajvansh!" She teased. Abir laughed and rubbed his nose with hers.
"Mishti, I love and appreciate the fact that you put in so much effort and cooked for us, but mein tumhe complete vacation dena chahta tha. From cooking, cleaning everything. I just want you to relax. Ab tak tumhari ribs bhi completely normal nahi hui hai. So take it easy, will you?" He reasoned. Mishti rolled her eyes and put her arms around his neck and and said, "Abir! I'm FINE! I promise!! And plus, mujhe tumhare liye kuch special karna tha. So I tried to cook. I don't know how well it's going to turn out. But mein tumhe completely carefree aur relaxed dekhna chahti hoon. So I decided to cook!" She explained. Abir smiled and said, "tumhare saath, yahan, mein bohot khush hoon. Carefree aur relaxed bhi. Say what, let's make a deal. Ab sey, saare meals hum saath mein banayenge. Deal?" Abir asked. Mishti smiled and said, "deal. At least this way, poor Kunal will also catch a break from me!" Mishti laughed.
Abir chuckled and said, "pata hain, koi aur hota na, toh nanko bhadak jaata. Lekin, tumhare liye, woh sab karne ko ready hai. I'm so proud of him." Abir said. Mishti nodded. Feeling extremely grateful to find a brother (in law) in kunal. From being Abir's nanko, to being her brother. It was quite a journey.
"Accha, now if we don't get out of this water, we'll catch a cold. Chalo!" Abir said and placed mishti outside the pool. And joined her then.
They both then showered and changed into warm clothes. The oven had pinged which indicated that the pasta was ready. Abir set the table, with a few candles and pulled out the pasta, while mishti was still getting dressed.
They both then had a late lunch and heartily enjoyed the pasta and the cheesecake. Dhokala being Abir's weakness, he gobbled that up too. And mishti laughed at the ajeeb behaviour of her ajeeb husband.
"What? Dhokala mera favourite hai! How can I let it go to waste!" He said with a mouth full of dhokala.
They then spent the remaining part of the afternoon watching Abir's favourite 90s Bollywood movies and went out for a long stroll in the evening. It was a day well spent. They video called the rest of the gang, who were busy shopping in Mumbai and on Kunal's insistence even shopped for themselves via video call. Life was finally perfect.
A/N- the Abir-nanko, conversation will make sense soon😉
Stay tuned.
