Chapter 12: How You Get The Girl

Hey guys I am back. Thank you for the amazing responses to the previous chapters. I am a little busy so I can't reply to each and every one of you. From this chapter onwards, updates will not be as regular as earlier. So I might take a day or two for uploading another chapter. Hope you understand.

The next day, everyone was in the Kapoor Mansion, preparing for the puja and pandit ji's arrival for fixing the date of the marriage. Mishti was setting up the puja ki thaali and the temple.

"Mishti, sunn aaj jab Panditji aaenge toh unki aarti tu kariyo theek hai? "Sumidha said from across the hall, setting up the food along with Karishma and Pankhuri.

"Ji aunty! " She replied and put some marigold flowers in the temple and kumkum on the thaali.

After 15-20 minutes, the doorbell rang and Vansh ran up to open the door. "Maaa! Mummaaa! Rajvansh and Maheshwari's aa gaye!" He screamed from the hall, welcoming them. Vishesh and Shekhar came from the study and greeted their samdhis. The women came from the dining hall and they too greeted everyone. Ketki touched the elder's feet, taking their blessings.

Ansh came down from the stairs with Pari in his arms and he too greeted his in laws by copying Ketki's gestures and they were made to stand together, Pari shifting from her father's arms to her dadi's.

Mishti walked in at the last, smiling awkwardly at the people present over there. Rajshree walked upto Mishti and hugged her, kissing her forehead. The Raizada's and Kapoor's were in awe seeing the duo and then Vishambar too joined them, hugging her. Suddenly they heard a shutter go off and saw that Vansh had captured the moment on the camera.

"Itne pyaare lag rahe ho na Di bygod aaj aap. Dil aa gaya mera toh!" Vansh said taking Mishti's balayein and Mishti just glared at him and Pankhuri punched him on his stomach, making them laugh.

"Aayie na, bethte hai. Panditji bas aate hi honge!" Karishma said and escorted them to the sofas.

Mishti was walking towards the sofa when she felt a tug at her saree, spinning around she saw no one there but then she looked down and saw Pari forwarding her hands at her, to pick her up. Mishti just shook her head and picked her up, walking to the family.

Abir was trying to have a chance to talk to Mishti but she was sitting in between Karishma and Sumidha with Pari on her lap. He suddenly got an idea. He picked up the tea kept on the table, acting as if he was going to take a sip of it and dropped it on his chest, and everyone immediately exclaimed as to what happened.

"Hey bhagwan! Beta aap theek to ho? Vansh jaa, Abir ji ki washroom le ja. " Sumidha said and Abir just inwardly groaned, vese toh saare kaam Mishti karti hai, par Abir ko washroom Vansh lekar jaaega, he thought.

Mishti looked at all of this with suspicious eyes, she knew Abir had been acting weird ever since he stepped into her house today and his shades were also missing. He looked like his chirpy old self.

"Mai abhi aati hoon!" She said and placed Pari on the couch. She walked across the hall, into the left and saw Vansh and Abir there.

"Vansh, mai yahaan se sambhaal lungi. Tu jaake Ansh bhai ko sambhaal. Sumidha Aunty unhe paagal kar degi nahi toh." Mishti said and Vansh raised his eyebrows in a surprising way.

" Kya chal raha hai di? Mere peeche kiske saath uhuu uhhuu chala rahe ho?" Vansh asked, smirking.

" Jaata hai ki maaru ek?" Vansh just ducked and walked out of there whistling "waah waah ramji jodi kya banayi".

"Paagal hai bilkul yeh ladka! " Mishti said to herself and looked up at Abir who was already just staring at Mishti and her encounter with Vansh.

"Bolo!" Mishti said, cleaning his kurta with a towel.

"Tum aaj bahut sundar lag rahi ho Mishti!" He replied, totally mesmerized by her.

" Idiot, woh nahi, jo tum kehna chahte ho subah se woh!" Abir got embarrassed and rubbed his neck.

" Haan! Um haan, mai bas tumse sorry kehna chahta tha. I know mene jo kiya hai uske liye tum mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karogi but still I am sincerely very very sorry about the way I have treated you. You didn't deserve any of it. "

Mishti looked in his eyes and saw a new found sincerity. She just nodded, baffled by his overnight changed behaviour.

"Mishti, I really want ki Ketki and Ansh ki shaadi achhe se ho jaae. Bina kissi problems ke aur hum dono ki families bhi khush rahein. "

" Mein bhi wahi chahti hoon Abir. "

" So truce? "Abir asked and forwarded his hand for a handshake.

Mishti nodded and shaked his hands, "humari families ke liye!"

Mishti and Abir came back to the living room at separate times. The pandit ji was standing on the doorstep.

"Mishtu! Panditji aa gaye beta! Aaja thaali lekar!" Panditji called out and Mishti came with the aarti ki thaali, rotating it clockwise and putting a tilak on his forehead and drops of oil on the either side of the door as a ritual.

"Vansh, yeh ritual toh Ketki bhabhi ki family ki bahu aur humari family ke ek member ko karni thi na! "Pankhuri raised a little to whisper in Vansh's ear.

"Are buddhu tabhi toh Mumma ne Di ko bola. Ek teer se do nishaane! " Vansh whispered back and Pankhuri widened her eyes in realisation. Sumidha Mom was super smart.

Soon the pandit ji matched their kundalis and found an auspicious date for the marriage which was after a month. They thanked the panditji and went to have Lunch.

"Waah Sumidha ji, yeh kadhi to bahut hi achhi bani hai! " Meenakshi complemented and everyone agreed with her.

" Ji aapki tareef ki haqdaar mai nahi, humari bachhi - Mishti hai! Kadhi ussi ne banayi hai."

Mishti looked at Sumidha, her eyes asking why did she say that.

" Mishti, bahut achhi bani hai." Meenakshi said and everyone looked at her, shocked.

"Umm thanks Aunty."

And they all resumed with lunch, creating small talk where Mishti majorly conversed with her family or her Bade papa - Badi Ma.

It was late at night and a small group of people were assembled in the backyard of Abir's place. They turned out to be Abir, Pankhuri, Vansh, Nanu, Kunal and Jugnu.

"So Abir's angels, are you ready for mission " Hum Saath Saath Hain"? "Abir asked and everyone shouted, " yes." Quickly putting hands on their mouths after that large noise.

"Ek second, ek second, parr isme mera kya role hai?" Someone said from the phone.

" MissTea Pot ke Nannu, pehele tum India toh aao, fir bataenge." Abir replied with a tinge of jealousy in his voice.

"Iss stage ke 2 outputs ho sakte hai: yaa to Mishti aur Kuhu saare gile shikwe suljha lengi aur ek naye sire se apni zindagi shuru karengi ya phir... " Nanu said and paused.

" Ya phir kya Nanu?" Jugnu asked.

"Ya phir aur bhi zyada hungame honge Jugnu bhaiya aur kya!" Pankhuri said and Abir just slapped his head.

"Tum sach mai apni behan jesi ho. Pessimistic. Aree Pankhuri thoda positively socho!" Abir said and everyone agreed.

"So guys, Stage 1 of our mission is Kuhu's punishment and making Mishti and kuhu talk to each other. Are you guys ready for it?" Kunal said and everyone nodded and kept their hands over each other, joining them.
