GAME OF FATE

Part 8

There he stood right in front of the AGGARWAL HOUSE!!

*Flashback*

Someone moves tip towing towards the gate and..
Security guard- Aree beta tum...

Abir- Hello Uncle!! Kese hai aap?!
Security guard- Mai toh theek hoon par lagta hai Mishti bitiya phirse naraz ho gayi... Haina..

Abir nodded with his puppy face running his hands through his hairs.

Security guard- (Laughs) Mishti bitiya bhi na bhaut ajeeb hai.... Hamesha tumse naraz ho jaati hai...
Itne ache ladke se koi naraz ho skta hai Kya..

Abir- Haina haina! Uncle... Aap hi hoo.. bas ek aap hi ho jo mujhe samjh skte ho..warna apki Mishti bitiyaaa toh... mujhe Ajeeb Rajvansh bulati hai...jbki vo khud ajeeb hai ..

Security guard laughs- Toh aaj kya leke aye ho... letter ya chocolate....
Abir- Aaj toh me dono leke aaya hoon wo kya hai aaj thoda zyada gussa haina isiliye..

Meanwhile Mishti comes to the gate..
Mishti- Kaka woh dad ki meds..
And there she notices Abir...

Mishti- Tum!!
Tum yahan kya kr rhe ho Abir...

Abir was about to speak when Mishti comes outside and takes him away from her house near a tree.

Mishti- Tum pagal ho?
He nodded no..
Detective ho?
He makes a what?? Face
Postman ho??
Abir nods his head side by side..

Mishti- Toh mere ghar ke bahar aise kya kr rhe ho??

Abir- Toh Chalo andr chlte hain.. waise bhi Uncle se bohut din nahi mila!
Mishti- Nhi.. nhi.. I mean mom aj ghar pe hai toh tum nhi aa skte...

Abir- Aree yeh toh aur bhi achi baat hai na... Aj toh me aunty se milke hi rahunga....

Mishti- Abir! Tumhe ek baat samjh nhi aati kya.. Mene kaha na tum andr nhi ja skte mtlb nhi ja skte...
Abir- Okok relax Angry Chorni! Voilent mat ho yrr...
Mishti- Mai voilent nhi hoon..
Abir- Ha ha tum bilkul bhi voilent nhi ho.. aur tumhe dekh k koi keh hi nhi skta ki tum voilent ho hai nahh!

She gives him a look...

Mishti- Ab batao kyun aye the yahan?

Abir- Wo koi naraz thi na mujhse isiliye..
Mishti- Wait! Don't tell me ki tum phirse.... Abir tum phirse vo letter leke aye ho?!

Nodding his innocent face, he looks at her with puppy eyes.

Mishti- Abir, mene tumhe kitni baar mana kiya hai.. ki aise mat aya kro.... Agar mom ne tumhe dekh liya toh.. tumhe pata hai mere liye vo letters chupana kitna difficult hai! Agar by chance mom ne dekh liye toh..

Abir- Mom mom mom...  Jab dekho mom.... Tum apni mom se itna darti kyun ho Mishti! Kuch baat hai Kya jo tum mujhse chupa rhi ho?

( He has always observed her, getting scared and nervous on mention of her mother. Morever she never let him meet her mother. But today he wanted to know the reason that why Mishti is like this)

Abir- Batao Mishti, baat kya hai!

Mishti- N..nhi ... Nhii Abir aisi..aisi koi baat nhi hain.. Mom is a business woman aur din raat she remains busy in meetings... And she don't like girls who have friends who are boys... I know it might be shocking for you that in this era her mentality is like this but she is like this only Abir... That's why I told you everytime not to meet her or come in front of her.

Her teary eyes didn't miss his notice.

Abir- Okok relax Mishti..it's fine.. don't cry...
He wipes of her tears....

Abir- Okk.. so ab jab hamne baat kr hi li hai toh letter ka kya kaam! But..I have something else for you.

Mishti- Kya??

Abir takes out her favorite chocolate..

Mishti- Wow! Thank u Abir! Aur haa iss baar toh mai maan gyi hoon lekin aage se agar tum unn stupid si adventurous activities me gye na toh dekh lena mujhse bura koi nahi hoga!
Abirrrr agar tumhe kuch ho jata toh!!

Abir- Mishti vo stupid nhi hai yaar.
It's fun.. yahi toh life hai.
Life ko ek chance deke toh dekho..

Mishti- Abir you are my only friend and I can't lose you...

Abir saw her eyes filled with fear...fear of loosing him.

Abir- Ok fine... nhi jayunga tumhe bina bataye... Khush?!

Mishti- Hmm bahut...achha ab mujhe meri chocolate khane do!

Abir smiles looking at his Mishti...

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Abir coming back to present sense, moves towards the gate of AGGARWAL house..

Abir-Excuse me!!
Security guard - Are.. Kon hai bhai???
Abir- Jii  main vo..

Abir looks at the person and...

Abir- Uncle! Aap!
Security guard - Aree beta tum... Tum toh wahi ho na?
Kya naam tha tumhara.
Haa Ajeeb..

Abir laughs- Ajeeb nhi uncle, Abir... Ajeeb toh mujhe Mishti bulati thi...
Security guard- Haa Mishti bitiya...
Badi pyaari bachi thi...

Abir- Uncle, aapko pata hai Mishti kahan hai??
Security guard- Beta, uss din ke bad mene Mishti bitiya ko kabhi nhi dekha...
Abir- Kis..kis din ke baad uncle??

Security guard continued to tell him whatever he knows...

Abir- What!! Mishti... Woh..Uss din!
Security guard- Haa beta iske alawa mujhe aur kuch nhi pata...

Trying to keep himself calm to great extent he continued...

Abir- Uncle Monika... I mean Mishti ki mom kahan hai??
Security guard- Madam toh ek hafte ke liye Mumbai gyi hain.. unki koi meeting hai...
Abir- Uncle, ek request hai, aap kisi ko mat batana ki me aya tha please?
Security guard- Theek hai beta... Jeete rho..
.
.
Abir comes back home... Kunal sitting in corridor, noticed him.

Kunal- Bhai... Yeh dekho...
Abir advances without noticing him, lost in his own world. Kunal, being a mature guy could understand very well  something is wrong.

Abir stops himself in front of Mishti's room looking at her from outside sleeping peacefully..
Not able to control himself any more, he runs to his room...as fast as his legs could carry him.

Entering his room he makes himself sit on the bed when his phone rang...

Abir- Hello..... Ok... Theek hai... And Dev, Iwant each and every detail about her.
Dev- Ok sir... But it will take some time..
Abir- How much time??
Dev- Maybe a week.. 
Abir- Ok.. I will wait.. but I want each and every single detail of her... Bye.

Cutting the call he hears a voice...

Kunal- Kiski detail bhai??

He entered room and adjusted himself near Abir..

Kunal- Bhai.. kuch hua hai Kya?? Aap pareshan lg rhe ho.. kuch baat hai kya??

Abir not able to control himself hugs his brother and starts weeping.

Kunal- Bhaii..bhai.. kya hua haii!!Aur aap aise kyun ro rhe ho!!
Jabse aap aye ho...jabse apne Pari ko dekha hai aap aise kyun kar rhe ho!

Abir- Kunal...Vo pari nhi hai... Vo Mishti hai...
Kunal- Mishti???
Abir- Haa Kunal... Mishti...me..meri Mishti.
Comforting himself a bit after several moments, he started, "Kunal, bohut lambi kahani hai!"
Kunal- To sunao na bhai...I wanna be with you. Bolo na bhai..
Abir- Tu..tu sunega nanko?!
Kunal- Of course bhai!

And he starts narrating his past...their past...
