" Par college mai bhi toh tumne apni ek aur behen ke baare mai bataya tha. Woh kon hai fir? "

Pankhuri looked at the elders, questioning on how should she answer about Mishti. Shekhar nodded at her, telling her to tell them the truth but suddenly heard a car honk from outside and Pari immediately was alerted by it, "Papa aa gaye!" She got up from Vishesh's lap and ran to the front door.

All of them smiled at the over enthusiastic kid and joined her to see Ansh. Ansh came out of the car and walked to the porche with joined his hands, greeting everyone.

Karishma too came out of the car with a wide smile on her face to welcome the guests but the colour drained from her face when she saw the Maheshwaris! She recognised them immediately. Although the Maheshwaris didn't recognise Karishma as almost 20 years had passed since they last saw her. She had aged, her face and features had changed.

She stood there rigid, if this is how she was reacting, how would her Mishtu react. She had to call Mishti. She had to inform her not to come here because she couldn't see her daughter broken again. It took Karishma more than 6 months to heal the brokenhearted Mishti.

Seeing Abir, Kuhu and Meenakshi, her blood boiled. She hated these people for taking he Daughter for granted. Oh how much she would love to wipe that smile off Kuhu's face or thrash Varsha, Shaurya and Jasmeet for her terrible upbringing. But she kept mum, as it was not her day. This day was supposed to be for Ansh and she didn't want to create any sort of drama.

Thank the Gods that Ansh had forgotten an important file in his office and Mishti insisted on brining it back.

Everyone had gone inside, their main focus on Ansh and Ketki now. Shekhar broke her trance,"Karishma andar chalein? Ki yahi Mishti ka wait karna hai?"

" Haan haan chalo!"

And they walked inside taking seats. Karishma took Pari with her and said, "Pari, apni chhoti nani ke liye ek kaam karogi?" Pari nodded vigourously and Karishma continued," Aaj ke liye aap apni mishtu ko masi keh kar bulaoge?" Pari looked confused so Karishma explained," Aapko pata hai ki aapke Papa ko dekhne ek family aayi hai na, toh humein dikhana chahiye ki hum achhe log hain, toh aaj ke liye aap Mishtu ko masi bulana. Okay? Deal?"
Pari shook Karishma's hand and ran out of there.

Karishma took a sigh of relief and dialled Mishti's number to tell her to not come back. "Yeh ladki phone kyu nahi uthati hai?" Karishma exclaimed and groaned in frustration.

In the living room, everyone was laughing and talking over stuff, but Ansh and Ketki were the quietest. They nodded here and there at some comment that their siblings passed.

Ketki blushed when Abir and Kunal teased her but Ansh gave a death glare to Pankhuri, Vansh and not so surprisingly to his mother when they teased him.

"Haye Mera bachha kitna sundar lag raha na aaj Vishesh? Anshu nazar na lage tujhe!" Sumidha exclaimed and put kaajal behind his ear.

"Maa yaar! Stop embarassing me!" Ansh whisper screamed in his mom's ear.

"Humari Ketu bhi rani se kam nahi lag rahi!" Nidhi felt it as a competition and did Ketki's balayein.

"Haan haan Nidhi aunty. Ketki bhabhi sach mai bahut khoobsurat hai. Lagta hai aap par gayi hai!" Vansh immediately said Nidhi blushed, flattening her straight hair.

"Vansh, abhi humari Ketu aapki bhabhi hui nahi hai! Toh thoda sambhal ke boliye!" Kuhu said and side hugged Ketki and Ketki just gave a small smile to her. Even Ketki got to know about Kuhu's true colours and tried to be distant from that woman.

"Papa, mish- Masi kaha hain?" Pari asked and the Raizadas and Kapoors turned around to look at an innocent Pari. She had called Mishti - Masi for the first time.

"Mai TV hoon? Deepika Padukone hoon? Vansh Chachu hoon?" Pari asked and they all shook their head in "no"at her questions. "Toh fir aap log mujhe ghoor kyu rahe ho?" Pari said and Abir snapped his neck up at the little girl. All of Mishti's 3 questions were revolving around his mind after hearing this little girl. He got teary eyed and Kuhu immediately looked at Abir since she too had been asked these 3 questions quite a lot of times.

"Br- bhai aap theek ho?" Kuhu asked and he just nodded. "I'm fine Kuhu. Thanks." Kunal just stared at his wife and his brother's weird interaction but smiled that atleast the baby news made Kuhu and Abir interact.

The family just shook their heads in disbelief at this cartoon. Even though, Shraddha and Ansh were her biological parents, she was Mishti's carbon copy. She spoke like her, walked like her, talked and ate like her.

"Aree toh batao na Masi kahan hain?" Pari asked again.

"Main yahan hoon! " Came a voice from the door and Pari just ran to the woman screaming," Mishtuuu",forgetting the deal between her and Karishma.
