Hi y'all I am back. Sorry for making you cry! It was not my intention. ✌️
Anyhoo! Here's another update for all you amazing people!
_____
The wedding was happening in 2 days and
today was the day for Ansh and Ketki's mehendi ceremony. The girls were dressed in various shades of green, the men in blue. (varun and Ketki's mehendi ceremony clothes)

The ladies were sitting infront of the mehendi designers, forwarding their hands to be decorated with stunning henna designs. Ansh too had to write Ketki's name on his palm.

"Suno bachho! jitna gehra rang mehendi ka, utna zyaada pyaar tumhara pati tumse karta hai! " Dadi said roaming around, looking at the designs.

Mishti was staring at the "ABIR" imprinted in the centre of her palm, the colour had darkened beyond repair, black actually. Abir was standing behind her, smiling a little.

"Kya dekh rahi ho?" he whispered in her ear and she jolted back, coming out of her trance.

" Abir you scared me!" Mishti kept a hand on his chest, creating some distance but he didn't budge.

"Come with me. " She looked confused. "Trust me. C'mon. " He took her hand and led her with him.

He tied his handkerchief around her eyes before they reached the place.

"Abir yeh tum kya karr rahe ho? Neeche sab log humein dhundhenge. " she said trying to keep balance by holding his hand.

" Mishti! Main focus Ansh and Ketu par hain. Hume koi bhi miss nahi karega. Relax." He brought her to the terrace and opened the blindfold.

The whole terrace was decorated with fairy lights and candles. A table for two was set in between and the atmosphere was soothing and calming. Mishti was awestruck at the sight infront of her. Abir captured the view infront of him using his DSLR camera. The view being Mishti!

"Abir yeh-" She looked at him and he was already looking at her, smiling ear to ear.

"Shall we m'lady!" He courtesied and took her hand in his, pulling out a chair and making her sit. He sat opposite to her and she felt a little weird doing this after 6 years. Mishti's face glowed under the moonlight and candles, a godess like aura surrounded by her side. The tiny blush creeping up her cheeks did not help the situation.

"Humari khichdi date ho gayi thi jab mai tumhare ghar aaya tha, parso humari Chhole-puri date hui thi aur aaj Abir Rajvansh special- noodles and fried rice date hai." he said, lifting up a utensil's lid, releasing the steam and aroma of the food.

He served noodles to the both of them, adding some chili sauce on Mishti's plate, just the way she liked it and was about to pick out the capsicums.

"Let the capsicums be Abir."

"But you hate them. "

" Well, I've raised a toddler these 6 years and you have to make them create a habit of eating green vegetables. So how could I not eat capsicums but ask Pari to eat them. So now I've got a taste for it. It's okay. " Mishti smiled fondly remembering her and Pari's little journey.

"Okay then." Abir picked up the chili sauce and added it on top of his noodles.

"Abir! What are you doing? You hate chili sauce. "

" Well, tumhari eating habits badal gayi hai to mai apni habits kyu nahi badal sakta. afterall change se hi to cheeze theek hoti hai. "

They both started eating in silence which didn't feel uncomfortable. They both were just absorbing their surroundings and each other's presence and the energies radiating off of them.

" I like this." Mishti said, sipping some water.

"The dinner?"

"Yes. The dinner, the surroundings... us." she whispered looking down and then tilted her head up to match his intense gaze.

Abir took Mishti's hand on the table, caressing his name on her palm. "Mishti. I- I.. miss you. I miss you so much. And I love you so much that I don't think I'll be able to live without you anymore. I had a terrible life experience in the past and I'm scared. I want to be with you forever. I've already lost these 6 years. I don't wanna lose anymore time. "

" Abir I-, Wait! What terrible life experience are you talking about?"

He replayed the words he spoke in his mind and tried to make an answer. " The terrible life experience of not being with you Mishti!"

" Abir, Mumma and Badi Ma ketu aur ansh bhai ki shaadi ke baad mere liye ladka dhundhne wali hai. " Mishti said and Abir dropped the fork on the plate, making a cluttering noise.
