A/N- This ones for you, @IntricatelyExpressed, thanks for everything<3
Scene- after Abir and meenu's conversation where she promises to find a solution.
Abir goes to the room and finds Mishti fast asleep with a smile on her face and a book in her hands. No matter how miserable life got, seeing a smile on Mishti's face, immediately brightened up his days. He smiled and took a seat next to her and found her reading "how to plan your first child" in her hands. His heart broke as he gently removed the book from her hold and put it on the side table. And much like their first night together, he softly took her head in his arms and put it on his lap and softly carsssed her hair as Mishti involuntarily snuggled closer to him. His eyes were heavy with tears as he realised that Mishti must probably dreaming about their kids together and had no idea about the upcoming storm in her life. He bent down and kissed her temple and whispered, "I wish Mishti, I wish mein tumhe iss dukh se bacha pata, tumhe protect kar pata. I'm so sorry ki life tumhare saath fair nahi hain. Mere kehne par you thought about having kids and ab jab hum dono ready hain, toh life has some other plans for us. I can't...I can't even imagine ki tum iss news par kaise react karogi and I'm honestly scared to find out. You've been through so much. Especially in the last three months aur agar tumhe kuch hogaya...toh...toh mera kya hoga....nahi. Nahi. Mein jab tak ho sake tumhe iss sach se door rakhunga. Jab tak ho sake tumhe iss dard se protect karunga. Mein...mein tumhe iss injury se toh nahi bacha paya...lekin,iss dukh se bachane ki puri koshish karunga Mishti. I promise. Lekin, tum mera chehra dekh kar hi bata sakti ho ki mein theek nahi hoon! But I'll try harder. Lekin mein tumhe kuch nahi hone doonga." Abir said and let his tears fall. He rested his head on the bed rest and kept caressing Mishti's head, feeling her presence and drawing some strength as he closed his eyes. But even his dreams haunted him as he dreamt about a baby girl with honey brown eyes and chubby cheeks.
Morning came sooner than he realised, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was look for Mishti and not finding her around, created an unexplainable anxiousness in his heart he got out of bed and called out, "Mishti! Mishti!" Abir called out frantically. Thankfully, Mishti entered the room before Abir went hunting for her. The minute she entered the room, Abir pulled her in for a hug and rested his head in the crook of her neck as he sighed in relief of having her in his arms. Mishti looked at him in confusion but wrapped her arms around his huge form and stood on her toes to caress the back of his head. "Abir? Kya hua? Sab theek hain na?" Mishti asked softly. Abir pulled away and wiped the side of his eye and asked, "yaar! Kahan chali gayi thi tum? Pata hain mein kitna worried tha? Tum jaanti ho na, tumhare bina mein kitna lost feel karta hoon!" Abir reprimanded and pulled her closer to his chest. Mishti frowned and cupped his cheek with her right hand and asked, "Abir? Sab theek hain na? Tum kuch pareshan se lag rahe ho, batao? Kal raat bhi tum late tak paint kar rahe the? And you do that only when you're upset. Batao na, kya baat hain?" Mishti asked. Abir composed himself and immediately lied, "Woh...Woh meine tumhe bataya tha na ki NGO mein license ka kuch issue hain, so uski thodi tension hain." He lied through his teeth. Mishti frowned as she knew that he was lying, but decided to talk to him about it later. Abir was swift to change the subject. "Waise tum itni subah kahan gayi thi?" He asked. She smiled and got the baby Krishna, the one that Abir had gifted her and said, "bas yeh laddoo Gopal ko lene gayi thi. Tumhare sapne ko pura karne ke direction mein ek step." She said sweetly. Hurt flashed through Abir's eyes as he covered it up by looking away and said, "mein fresh hoke aata hoon, phir breakfast ke liye jaate hain. Thik hain?" He asked. Mishti smiled and nodded. He smiled and turned towards the bathroom when she called him back. "Suno.." she called. He turned around immediately. She smiled and said, "whatever it is that is bothering you, Kanhaji sab theek kar denge. HE always does." She said and stepped on her toes and kissed his forehead. He smiled and turned around. "Suno..." she called out again. He turned around and she said, "Tum akele nahi ho, Ajeeb Rajvansh." She said. Abir smiled and nodded. His tongue tied as his throat closed with emotions clogging up his words. As he nodded and walked towards the washroom when she called him out again, "Suno.." and he turned around yet again. She smirked and said, "kuch nahi. Jaao." Abir grinned and walked away.
