"We're s'd in the b!" Mishti and Abir both said and sat down on the couch with their heads resting on each other.

"Hain? Husband, humare Abir aur Mishti ne yeh kya bola?" Nidhi asked, confused.

" Mujhe nahi pata mahriwali!"

" We're screwed in the butt!" Ketki replied absentmindedly and immediately kept a palm on her mouth, regretting speaking anything.

"Ketu?" Kaushal mama asked and Nidhi was about to react but the doorbell rang and she rushed to open the gate, shouting, "tujhe toh mai baad mein dekhti hoon ketu!"

There stood the Raizada's and Kapoor's with the shagun plates. Pankhuri and Vansh immediately ran in and hugged Mishti, and Pankhuri became teary eyed again. Nidhi mami did Ansh's arti and brought the guests inside, Karishma and Sumidha enveloped their Mishti in their arms, hugging her.

"Guys, mai sirf 2 ghante ghar se door rahi hoon! Isse zyada time to college mai mein aapse door rehti hoon. Relax!" Mishti said yet she too wasn't ready to break the hug.

"Chup reh! Apni dono Maa ka pyaar mil raha hai, bina behes kiye le le! " Karishma scolded and Sumidha just nodded in agreement.

"Di mai sachhi mein aapke bina nahi reh sakta! Aap waapis aa jao na. Aapki yaad aa rahi hai!" Vansh exclaimed dramatically and Ansh came from behind, smacking his head.

"Sach mai Mishtu ki yaad aa rahi hai yaa phir tere semester ke exams shuru hone wale hai aur tujhe uski help chahiye? "

" Obviously help chahiye isse Bhai. Aur kuch toh aata hi nahi hai ise! Proper Ghadhedo! " Pankhuri said and she too smacked his head.

"Bhai! Pankhuri! Mujhe pareshaan mat karo! Di dekho na aapki behen aur yeh mere rude bade bhai mujhe maar rahe hain!" Vansh made a crying noise and hid himself behind Mishti who just chuckled and covered him.

"Koyi bhi mere Vanshie ko pareshaan nahi karega. Okay Vanshie? " Mishti teased him with a nickname she knew he hated.

" TRAITOR! TRAITOR! " Vansh shouted, "Ketki Bhabhi, aao, ab aap aur mai ek team bana lete hain. "

" Sorry Vansh, shaadi se pehele Ketu mere aur nanko ki team mein hi rahegi! "Abir said and he and Kunal kept their hands on her shoulder, pulling her to their side.

"Okay! Jiju, bado ki baat mai nahi taalta! I'm a very intelligent and good boy!" Vansh nodded and acted very innocent.

" Cut the crap Vansh! Itni acting bhi logo ko suit nahi karti." Pankhuri said.

" Yaar baby tu chahti kya hai fir? Agar mai drama karun toh problem! Normal act karun toh problem! Shareef bankar shant ho jaun to bhi problem!! Main jaa raha hoon yahan se! " Vansh squealed and left to find Sumidha, shouting,"Mumma!"

"Aaj mujhe sumidha aunty ki woh baat yaad aa gayi jo unhone mujhe 6 saal pehele kahi thi, jab mai Pari ki responsibilities lene wali thi." Mishti said and everyone looked confused except Ansh.

" Konsi baat Mishti-?" Kunal said and Meenakshi who stood a mile away could hear him and immediately glared at him and he corrected himself. "Mishti Bhabhi!" He said, giving emphasis to the word bhabhi.

"Yeh hi, ki mujhe sirf ek nahi, teen bachhe mil rahe hain abse! " She said pointing to Pari, Vansh and Pankhuri.

"Mishti beta! Suno, mere kamre mai Ketki beta ke liye ek shagun ki thaal rakhi hui hai, use le aao!" Dadi asked and Mishti just nodded, walking off.

"Haye Varsha bhabhi, dekh rahe ho aap, humari Kuhu iss ghar ki bahu 6 saalon se hai aur Mishti aaj hi waapis aayi hai aur sab Kuhu ko bhul gaye hain. "Jasmeet whispered in Varsha's ear.

" Jasmeet chup hoja! Mujhe laga tha ki mere daantne ka kuch asar padega tujh par. Par kutte ki pooch ko kitna bhi sidha karo, rahegi to tedhi hi. Aaj Meenakshi ji se bessati karwa kar bhi tujhe sharam nahi aayi. " Rajshree reprimanded Jasmeet and turned away towards Abir, disappointed.

"Jasmeet, sahi to keh rahi hain Ma, bass kar na ab. Kitni negativity felaaegi. Kuhu kaam isiliye nahi kar rahi hai kyunki woh pregnant hai. "

" Pregnant se yaad aaya bhabhi, humari Kuhu ka baccha to iss ghar ka sabse pehela bachha hoga na. " Jasmeet said and Varsha just shook her head and she too walked away from there before giving a warning, "Jasmeet, Maa ko pata chal jaata hai ki uska bachha galat sangat mai hain. Khabardaar agar tune Kuhu ke kaan bhare firse. Mujhse bura koi nahi hoga!"

Mishti gave the plate to dadi and she made Ansh and Ketki sit, starting a small ritual from her village while others just stood behind, watching the scene unfold. Mishti was standing beside Vansh and Pankhuri, memories of her and Abir's wedding rasam going in her mind when suddenly someone back-hugged her.

"Abir!" Mishti whispered immediately, recognising him. "Yeh tum kya kar rahe ho?"

"Sorry guys, main apni angry chorni ko thodi der tumse chura raha hoon!"

Pankhuri and Vansh stood there confused as Abir pulled her in the lobby where nobody was, in the same position.

When they were away from the onlookers, Mishti jerked him off her and looked at him in anger.

"Yeh tum kya kar rahe ho Abir? Stay in your limits okay!"

As she was about to go out again, Abir grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him and she twirled, landing on him and they stood chest to chest with just a gap of few inches between their faces.

Abir's arms went to her waist and his head in the crook of her neck and Mishti just froze. Abir's hands climbed up and he buttoned and zipped up her blouse (or whatever you call it).

"Apni patni ka khayal rakhna ek ideal pati ki job hoti hai, meri Wifey!" He whispered in her ears and walked away, whistling and Mishti just stood there, unable to react.

"Aree yeh band wale kahan reh gaye? Sangeet shuru bhi karna hai ya nahi?" Vishesh asked to no one and proceeded to make some calls about the whereabouts.

A dozen dhol walas started entering the house, playing an upbeat song and everyone finally had wide smiles on their faces. As the dhol walas moved sideways, there stood a man with his back faced. He turned and the Maheshwari's were on cloud nine seeing their son back. "Nannnuu!" Jasmeet shouted and Nishant just waved at everyone.

Mishti was extremely surprised as she had no idea that nannu would be coming back to India. Nishant then forwarded his hand sideways and a woman appeared in a red and white bengali saree. She kept her hand on his as they both walked with their fingers interlocked. Mishti immediately recognised the woman while others looked confused.

"Oh Shit! " Mishti whispered and Abir who heard her just looked confused.

A/n
How was the chapter? I also wanted to inform that just today afternoon I completed watching Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi and I must say, it was a good show. Although, I was literally comparing situations as to how Abir would've reacted if he was in Dev's place.
Also one thing I felt was that nobody except Supriya Ji could match his level of performance in Krpkab. Like Erica is a great actor but I never felt her shine.
Whereas in yrhpk Rhea literally matches Shaheer's level and they both are equally spectacular in a particular scene. I'd like to take the example of the ptsd track, where Rhea literally outshone with her acting abilities and made us all cry almost daily.
Same with Ritvik as well. The way he complemented Shah was absolutely amazing as well. Which I felt was missing in Krpkab. So I'd like to literally pat the back of the person who cast these actors in yrhpk since they all are supremely talented.
(P.s- no hate to Erica. I loved her but she can go Over The Top sometimes and you'd know if you have seen Kasauti.)
Love,
Misha 💜
