MISHBIR - Heartfelt

HEARTFELT - 4

The long awaited update is finally here. I am so so so.. a million so sorry that I did not find enough time to complete this earlier. I am so sorry for making you all wait for so long and thank you for bearing with me patiently. It was difficult to write this when I did not feel the anger that I had when the episode came. 

There will be one more part, I think. I have 2 interviews lined up this week, so it will take me around 2 weeks to post the next part. Until then, please do read Tempting Mr Rajvansh and let me know your opinions. 

MISHBIR - HEARTFELT

Iyanla Vanzant once said,

"Family is supposed to our safe haven.

Very often, it is the place where we find the deepest heartache." 

Ignore the doll story and everything that's happened in yrhpk since where I ended.. I'm going on a different track

*4 - ABIR*

Mishti shook her head and Abir felt her palms cup his cheek in a soothing embrace. She kissed the top of his forehead and shook her head again, unable to say anything. He smiled through his tears and stood.

"I've told you the reason why you all need to apologise to Mishti. Now let us move on to Kuhu."

He looked at everyone with a level expression.

"When I started finding out the past, I learnt that Naitik Uncle brought Kuhu home and most of you were shocked. After learning that she was illegitimate, All the elders did not know how to handle the little girl. On one hand, she was an innocent, someone who did not ask for this to happen to her. On the other, she was the result of a disastrous mistake, a reminder that a son had broken his parents' trust, a husband had broken his wife's trust. Yes, Kuhu didn't get accepted easily in this house. But you know what I did find out, Kuhu? Mishti was there for you. She was your elder sister. Your confidante. You used to tell her all your secrets when you were younger. You used to look forward to go to Singhania Sadan so that you could visit Mishti and play with her. Why did that change if she came to stay with you forever?"

Kuhu turned to look at Mishti who was not looking at any of them anymore. She seemed to be staring at nothing in particular and her tears were all dried up. Kuhu was suddenly reminded of a time when Mishti had come up to her and wiped her tears. It was true, While Mishti had been in Singhania Sadan, she had always supported Kuhu and she had taken care of her. They had played together, shared secrets together, played pranks. They had grown up together.

When had all that changed? When did Mishti become her enemy? Her punching bag, as Kunal had just said?

"Yes, I agree that you had to share your parents, your grandparents, your aunt, your cousins, your toys, your room and maybe even more. I get that you didn't want to. No one wants to share a family that they got after a long time. I get that you resented her. It's weird for me because I always shared my things with Nanko, Atul and Ketki but I understand that you might not have liked it. You're allowed to resent your sister. You're allowed to think of her as annoying. You're allowed to complain about her."

Kuhu looked at Abir who was staring intensely at her. She lowered her eyes. "No. Don't look down." Kuhu raised her eyes again to meet his once more.

"You are allowed to do all that, Kuhu. But you're not supposed to hate her. You're not supposed to want her to fail. You're not supposed to be happy that she will never get her love."
