I Am Always There For You.

Part 1

" Abir ne mera diya hu'ha letter jalaya ---- per kyu ? " She muttered wondering , what could be the reason behind Abir's actions.

Mishti's thinking process came to a hault when she heard Meenakshi shouting her name , aloud. All were present in the hall except Mishti and Abir.

" Tum he ek ji'medhari di thi woh bhi tumne thik se nahi nibhayi. Mishti ?" Meenakshi roared on her.

For a second Mishti flinched with her tone and then , stared her confused. Because she wasn't aware as to why she suddenly started screaming her lungs out.

" Nirmala ji ka phone aaya tha , aur woh keh rahi thi ki unko lagta hai hum Shaadi talna chahte hai. Mishti , maine tumse kaha tha agar tumhari tabliyat thik nahi hai toh tum aaram karo per kaam mat bigado. " She raised her index finger pointing at her accusingly.

" Maine tumhe kaha tha ki wedding cards Varun ke ghar , Abir ke haatho bejwa doh per tum ne woh bhi thik se nahi kiya. " Meenakshi screamed and that's when it struck her.

Thinking about as to why Abir burnt her letter , it completely slipped out of her head that she was supposed to hand over the bag of wedding cards to him.

" Oh my mother Misti yeh tum ne kya kiya? Tum dono bas yeh Shaadi barbad karna chahte ho. " Nidhi spoke annoyed.

" Lo jii , mai ne toh pehle hi kaha tha iss muh boli ko kaam dena matlab ' ho gaya kaam '. " Jasmeet eyed Mishti and taunted.

" BASSS. Bahot ho gaya. Bahot keh liya aap logo'ne aur bahot sun liya humne. Agar Mishti kuch keh nahi rahi hai iska matlab yeh nahi hai ki aap sab uske bare me kuch bhi bolte jayenge. " Abir yelled throwing his hands up in air frustratedly.

" Kya iss ghar mein pehle kabhi kisi ne galti nahi ki , kya ? " He asked loudly.

" Mishti abh hum yaha aur ek pal bhi nahi rukhenge." He turned to look at her and automatically his pitch lowered but was loud enough for everyone to hear it.

They all were shocked by his words. Mishti didn't know what to say and what not to. Tears were continuously rolling down from her eyes and was continuously shaking her head negatively.

" Abir --- tu yeh kya keh raha hai --- tum dono kahi nahi jaa rahe. Bass. " Parul tried to cool down abir.

" Mil gayi tere khale je ko thandak. Tu toh yahi chahti thi na muh boli. Aakhir kar us ghar ki tarah is ghar mein bhi tune darar daal hi dhi. Yeh sab karne se pehle kam se kam tayaji aur tayji ko toh dhyan mein rakhti. Tu toh --- " She was interrupted by a strong voice.

" Bass kijiye Jasmeet ji. Aap meri patni se iss tarah se baath nahi kar sakti. Agar Bade papa and Badi ma ke respect ke baarein mein sochna hi hai toh woh Mishti ko nahi balki aapko hai. Filhaal aap bass yeh yaad rakhiye ki aap sirf is ghar ki mehman hai. "

" Mishti chalo hum yaha aur nahi rukh sakte." He was about to hold her wrist but a voice stopped him.

"Abir Ketu ki Shaadi hai aur tu ghar chodne ki baat kar raha hai ? " Kausal spoke trying to stop him.

" Misti tumne toh thann hi liya hai ghar chodne ka toh Ketu ki Shaadi tak toh tum rukh hi sakti ho na. " Nidhi said.

Mishti totally blanked out by the accusions she was getting. She wasn't hearing anything. Her inner monster started getting heavy on her.

" Aakhir kar us ghar ki tarah is ghar mein bhi tune darar daal hi dhi. " These were the only words stuck behind her mind.

Tum toote hue ghar se ho'h.

Tum sirf ghar todna janti ho'h , jodna nahi.

Following words echoed around her. And tears were continuously rolling down. She kept both her hands on her ears as to block the echoes reaching her ears. Swaying her head left to right with her eyes tightly shut.

No Mishti , tumhara blood tumhe define nahi karta.

She muttered , trying to calm her nerves but it just worsened when the word ' Blood ' caught her attention. Only things flashed infront of her closed eyes were from the incident that took place three months ago.

Meri ek galti ki saza , puri family ko mil rahi hai.

" Mai ne jaan bhuj kar kuch nahi kiya." She was continuously murmuring to herself in fear. And just ran away from there. Everyone were so busy convincing Abir , that no one paid attention to Mishti as always.

" Abir bhaiya --- Abir bhaiya --- Mishti Bhabhi --- " Jugnu came running. Hearing Mishti he swiftly turned to look at the place where she was standing.

" Mishti. Mishti kya jugnu --- " He held him by his shoulders and panickly asked.

" Woh woh bhabhi --- bahar --- " He was breathless and taking deep breathes as he came running.

Getting his words , Abir just ran out to see Mishti. He knew she will start blaming herself for everything that was going on right now in his so called house.

" Mishti. Mishti. Mishti. " he literally screamed his lungs out calling her name.

But no response. He kept running and after few seconds at some distance he saw familiar figure and started running towards her as fast as possible.

But wait !

He saw car rushing towards Mishti. Mishti was not in state to hear anything. She was just blaming herself. Fisting her dress tightly and eyes were shut as she let pools of water out from them.

" Mishti. Mishti. " He was continuously screaming but she couldn't hear him. As she was drown in her negative thoughts.

Car driver applied break so hard that it made huge noise. Which brought Mishti to present. She was shocked and dumbstrucked. She stood numb at that place. Meanwhile Abir reached to the place where she was standing.

" Mishti. Mishti. Tum thik ho na ?" Abir checked her from head to toe , if by chance she got some injury.

" Marna hai toh kisi aur ke gaadi ke samne aati. Meri hi ghadi mili thi kya ?" Driver shouted and drove away.

As the car went , Mishti fainted in Abir's arms murmuring " Maine jaan bhuj ker kuch nahi kiya. "

" Mishti. Mishti. Aakhen kholo. " He patted her cheeks but there was no response.

" Aap inhe gadi mein behta dijiye. Inhe hospital le jate hai. " One man said and gestured him by opening the door of his car.

As instructed he did and they drove towards the hospital. Kuhu who had followed Abir saw the sight. And then , followed them to the hospital.

.

Doctor examined Mishti and walked out of the room and found Abir restlessly pacing.

" Doctor --- Mishti --- Mishti --- kaisi hai ? " He panickly asked.

" Woh abhi aaram kar rahi hai. Aur stress ke karan behosh hogayi. Aur shayad panic attack aane wala tha as you could see she was having difficulty in breathing. Unhe thodi der mein hosh aa jayega. " He spoke while Abir sighed a little in relief.

" Per kya mein puch sakta hu'h , inki aisi halat kaisi hu'hi ? "

" Woh --- Woh --- doctor ---"

" Kya hu'ha sab thik hai na ? Agar aap nahi batana chahte toh me force nahi karunga. Bas itna kahuhnga ki aap apni patni ka khayal rakhiye. Aur jarurat pade toh kisi consultant se advise le lijiye ga. " He tapped his shoulder and went.

Whole thing was heard by Kuhu but instead of thinking about Mishti's health she was more interested in becoming Meenakshi's favorite daughter-in-law so she rushed to update her. While rushing she bumped into Varun who had just entered. As she was in hurry she didn't see his face but Varun saw her. And immediately rushed inside a room.
