Chapter 34
Abir scrunched his eyes at the light hitting his eyes...
Damn...why is it so bright..
He took a deep breath... surprised to feel happy and light after ages...
Intrigued at his own contentment he opened his eyes and looked around..
Penthouse suit..!?
What the hell was he doing here..?
Abir sat up cautiously and was shocked to see someone else on his bed...
" What the hell..! Piya...uhh....???"
But why would Piya be here ??? His brain thundered at the question..
The person fidgeted with the duvet and sleepishly turned towards him giving him the most beautiful sight yet the biggest shock of his life...
For the longest second... his eyes filled with love and appreciation at the innocence with which she rubbed her eyes and looked at him....his senses were flooded with the vision of temptation in front of him...
Then the After-shock waves hit ....! hard..!
Mishty!!?
He scrambled out of the bed ..taking in the situation..as she removed the duvet and got up..! Stretching seductively...
My God! What the ..!
He wanted to yell at her but suddenly it felt like he had lost his voice...He could only move his hands matching his shocked expression.
Mark came to them with the coffee tray as Mishty got up and tied up her robe.. looking beautifully disheveled and sleepy..
Abir looked shell shocked by Mark's casual attitude to Mishty''s presence..and found his voice..
" Tumm...tum yahaan..! And what's this.....Mark .. what's going on.."
His arms gestured to her attire..
Mishty put on her specs and shrugged in exasperation to Mark..as she took her cup from him..
" More drama ...see..I told you..and he doesn't remember? So convenient!..."
She turned to Abir..
" Tumhein kuch bhi yaad nahin ki Kal tumne Kya Kiya ...? Great..! I should try this.."
"Mishty ! "Abir called out in a warning tone..
"Okay Okay We finished our fights once and for all yesterday and I don't want to start the day with another.."
Abir was confused about what was going on..what happened last night..he rubbed his temples in frustration.
Mishty and Mark exchanged a look..
" Okay ..Abir ...bro..hmm.. I should get used to it in time huh.."
Mishty said almost to herself and Abir staggered ....
". What..?"
Mishty walked up to him rounding the bed ..Abir felt like he was about to faint..
Bro... really..!!??
Mishty held his arms and made him sit on the bed..
Abirs eyes widened beyond his imagination..
Her closeness and the familiarity with which she was handling him..he fisted his palms... so that they won't scoop her to him..
" Well...to state the facts.... yesterday you were very rude to me...I tried to leave the party but you wanted to fight and I obliged ...Got this much..??!"
Abir nodded slightly..he remembered being mad at her...but still found it difficult to take in what she was saying with her so close..
" So you were drinking..hard..I don't know what was your problem but you were going on about Neil and yes..we fought...but you were being protective na...and you said you were sorry for yelling at me and you convinced me that you were being a responsible brother and all...and we would have had a nice chat about Neil and me if.......you just keeled over and both of us got you here.."
Abir shook his head trying to remember .Some things connected and he looked at Mark for validation...
Mark nodded obediently..
Abir rubbed his face ...now disturbed at her presence still in the suite...
" Ohh..lekin tum yahaan...aise."
His eyes went to her attire and the rumpled white bed sheet and duvet..
Eyes bewildered at the alarming fact that she spent the night with him..
" Well...I Never handled a drunk man before...bro or not..Mark made you take a cold shower and I kinda assisted him...it was fun watching you in silent and drenched for a while though.."
Mishty giggled and Abir looked at her incredulously..
"In short I too got wet and Mark got me this to wear..can I keep this Mark ?..l love your selection.."
Abir looked at Mark now grinding his teeth....
" Sure Mishty...I am glad you liked it.."
"Okay..thanks for the coffee..I'll freshen up and leave you guys to your work...
Neil will be waiting for me. if I don't reach on time for rehearsals he will come here.."
Mishty moved to the ensuite bathroom but stopped short at Abir's voice.
"Mishty..! Neil know you are here ...? and he is okay with that??"
Abir asked her disbelievingly..
Mishty looked at Abir oddly.. cocking her head..as if she didn't understand his question..
" Why would..umm he have a problem with me taking care of my bro.."
Mark choked a laughter that erupted out ..
"Uhh.. excuse me...!"
Both Mishty and Abir looked at him...
Her eyes dancing in mischief and his ready to kill...!
"Oh God ! Neil..."
Mishty squealed to divert Abir's attention from the faux pas...
She looked at the wall clock and rushed into the ensuite.
Abir held his head in his hands..
And looked up at Mark who extended the coffee cup..
" You should have sent her away..."
Abir said grudgingly..and Mark replied sternly.
" Well..I had to manage the delegates coming in for today's function and couldn't leave you like that alone..and what was all that..?.we had the talk right? Thank God that Mishty was there to help me.and she is family right..I can't order her around.."
" Yeah.. tell me about it..."
Abir's sigh was heartfelt as he rubbed his temples..
" Bro..!! Oh God! Is she going to call me that publicly ? "
He said to himself as horror dawned on him..
His shocked look to Mark was answered dismissively..
"you never had problem with Kuhu calling you Bro.. what's the big deal..?"
***
Mishty came back in her regular clothes and saw the lingering horror in his face .Abir turned away from her..
Mishty bit back her laughter as she turned to Mark.
" Mark.You are such a sweet guy... Even my phone is fully charged.. between you and Piya catering to his every whim I am not surprised. He doesn't even think of coming home..ohh..!! .Neil will be getting mad..he is still my boss and I still got to pay your loan back... brother or not.."
Abir got up and stormed out into the ensuite and the bang of the door was his answer..
****
Mishty walked up to her room and was surprised by Kunal standing in her wait..
Just as he saw her Kunal jogged to her..
"Tum subh subh kahaan gaayab hogayi..I want to tell you something important,"
"Well..woh jaldi soyi thi na..toh jaldi uth bhi gayi.."
She opened her door with the key card..
" Ab batao..sab theek heina...Kal tumne Kuhu ka khayal rakha tha na... I meant to keep her by your side,"
" Koi fayda nahi.. I don't think she will ever look at me the way I want her..'
" Ooh..TMI...thoda filter karna seekho..Meri behn hei.Ab Tum Mera time waste mat karna...mein ready hone jaa Rahi Hoon."
" Breakfast??"
" Mark will send it here...tum Kuhu ke saath breakfast karna...and not with this utra hua chehra...I told you to be careful..not back out...na.. spend as much as time with her now...Kal Ghar vapas bhi jaana Hein..phir Kethu hogi..you get me?"
Kunal nodded as Mishty pushed him out and closed her door.
*****
Mishty pressed herself to the door and exhaled..
She really needed some alone time to gather her wits that was in smithereens since Yesterday.
The Abir unknown to her ...his new and tender affections..
She never imagined in her wildest dreams that Abir would respond to her feelings..
Hell !! he doesn't even know about her feelings... still he loves her ..
All the times he distanced himself from her ...
It was because he cared too much..!!??
She moved towards the wardrobe mirror...
Looking at herself in a new light..
The Mishty who was tortured and had lost her zest of life had vanished ...
Instead a Mishty with stars in her eyes ..glowing face ... quivering lips and blooming shy smile stood before her...
Abir loved her....!!
She raised her palm to look at it...
The feel of his heart beat still synced in it...
She brought it to her heart.
The slight burn at her touch made her look at the mirror closely...
The sweet trail of burn where he nuzzled his face ...
Mishty blushed all over again...as she looked at her profile..stubble burn on lower part of her shoulder too...
She hugged herself.. trying to contain the overwhelming urge to cry out to the world..
Abir loves me...!
And in her mind thanked Mark for his support..
She had found him in a fix in the night.. obviously worried about both of them..
She signalled him to stay and slowly eased Abir on to the bed..now calm and content..
Her determination to know about what happened in the past months was cemented by seeing Abir's drunken unsettled state..
And Mark had no way other than spilling the beans about when Abir went off track ...how he lost interest in his work and how he pulled himself out of it... only to fall back..
His eyes did accuse her...
Mishty rubbed away her tears that filled her eyes hearing his account...
It was becoming clear to her that Abir never intended to disclose his hearts intent to her ..and to be fair it was her decision too not to let him know about her heart's desire..
If yesterday hadn't happened she would still be unaware of his feelings...
But his equation with Piya confused her .
Moreover even if she declared her love for him ...he was harbouring too many misunderstandings about her..plain speak won't work on him.. .there was no way that he would accept her simply because she said she loved him...with his weird logic..
He should come out of his denial...
Mark's words echoed in her ears..
" I don't know what transpired between you two..but he deserves to be happy and I am willing to do anything.. absolutely anything to make sure of that.."
And how they were in sync.!
Now if only she could make Abir reveal his heart ....
***
Event night..
Meenakshi and Parul were welcomed warmly by Piya ..
Both were having misty eyes at the sight of the beauty before them..
" Di...Abir toh..."
Parul couldn't find words to express her pride..
" Mujhe toh sirf use ek baar theek se dekhna Hein..door se hi sahi..."
Meenakshi wiped her tears..
Six months..and just glimpses only...her mind had sometimes fluttered in anxiety giving her a presentiment...but she had calmed her self by hammering in the fact that she raised a tough boy ..and whatever difficulty he was facing he would emerge winner..
And seeing the result of his hardwork her eyes now glowed in pride..
Though she didn't like the way Piya welcomed them to the presidential suite... her discomfiture vanished into thin air when Mishty ran upto her for a tight hug..
Abir came behind her and coughed..as if demanding his Mom's time..
Mishty moved a bit to the side eying Abir ..and signalled him..
Abir a bit hesitatingly but willingly bent down to take Meenakshi's aashirwad..
Before he could touch her feet he was encompassed in her loving hug...
"Yeh badmash Meri Gale lag sakthi hai toh Kya Tum apni maa ki Gale nahi lagaaoge.."
Abir looked at Mishty..over his Mom's shoulder finding her eyes as misty as his..
She signed him to smile and he nodded..
Kunal clapped at this scene as Piya ,Neil and Kuhu joined him..
Abir took ashirwad from his maasi too who told him how proud they were at his accomplishments..and conveyed Nanu's congratulatory message.
After a warm get-together Mishty looked at Neil..
" Humein chalna chahiye.. dressing make up preparations..sab kuch abhi baaki Hein.."
" Haan mujhe bhi stage ek baar phir check karni Hein."
Kuhu looked already worried about her work..
Neil turned to Meenakshii and asked her if it was okay if he took Mishty and Kuhu to the program venue.
Meenakshi happily obliged and as Neil was about to put a hand over Mishty''s shoulder casually as they turned to go..Abir spoke..
" I'll come too.."
Piya looked at him and bit her lips in frustration...as Meenakshii looked at her oddly.. she tried to smile and went to Abir..
" Abir ..mom and Dad are on their way to meet your mom...you can't go now and we need to be together today.."
She whispered as she demurely held his hand..
Abir looked at his arm now being squeezed by Piya..
" Okay...Neil I'll join you guys later.."
Mishty was observing Piya and Abir's interaction ..and for a moment her eyes met with his .. though..concealed behind his shades and she smiled openly.. tugging Neil..and Kuhu..
" Haan...Abir..."
Mishty paused dramatically and Abir involuntarily shivered fearing that the Bro ball is going to fall..." his eyes articulating a silent plea unknown to himself...
Mishty smiled at Piya.." Nirmala aunty will feel bad if you are not here na ..Chotimaa..Dua karna ki sab ache se ho jaaye.. Massi aap bhi.."
She said as both Meenakshii and Parul smiled and waved at them...
Abir felt a sense of loss....as he saw her go with Neil...and he rubbed his hands in frustration..
Kunal silently came up to his side...
"Bhai..yeh Aap Kal Kya khud alag hi party Kar rahe the Kya...you look either hungover or overworked...and this shades..."
He tried to take them away and Abir squinted at the brightness of the room.
" Whoa...oh God...this was why you were avoiding me the whole day..huh.."
Kunal whispered in awe..
" Aisa kuch nahi Nanko... Maa dekh Rahi Hein .give them back."
Kunal put back the shades where it belonged as Nirmala and Chethan were ushered in by Mark.
***
Abir was totally disconcerted....
Her vision in pink was etched before his eyes tormenting him beyond the limits his self control could handle...
And her bro remark ...it was chafing at his heart..did she really mean it..?
They had a kinship in his adolescent days..
And when they met years after did she now mistake his care for her as brotherly interference..
Some thing vague clicked in his conciousness
".. I don't want you as my brother ...and I am perfectly capable to lead my life with out your interference"
Her voice...hurt...
And how come she is now overenthusiastic at the prospect of considering him as a brother..
He remembered the relief and sadness he felt when he got to know that Mishty had left early with Kunal.on that fateful day...he can't ever see her in that way...now even more...
Her innocent and seductive turn towards him ...Oh God.. revealing such marvel,...
Abir pressed his eyes shut and raked his hair in frustration...
He need to know clearly how he agreed to her relationship with Neil..
There was never anything between Kunal and her.?
Her voice kinda echoed in his brain... reverberating as if he heard it from different angles.
"Don't dare say that we are having an affair.....we are not.."
He looked at Kunal now happily chatting with his Mom..not at all bothered about Neil and Mishty..even anything about her .. like where she was last night?..
He tormented himself to no end for nothing and now Neil..???
He really need to know and he should stay sober ..hear from her exactly how she managed to quell his anger...
Abir reflected on that...
Whatever happened...he was feeling a calm and sense of content within him...and wondered in what way she could be responsible for that contentment..

Event time..
The Rajvansh hotel complex was decked up with beautiful illuminations .The banquet hall was transformed into a gorgeous three tiered arrangement giving an open central space just down the wide stage with large display screen for official purposes and a small stage by the side for entertainment..
Guests were to be seated around the entertainment stage , balcony and beyond the open space decorated with amazing chandeliers..
Eve & Tal had roped in amazing celebrities for the performance..the core idea being Mishty''s..the traditional look of the hall was sent to them and instantly Mishty had suggested the two phase lighting and a performance invoking Sita Ram and Radha Krishn.. as per Indian tradition.
Kuhu who was overjoyed at the presence of celebrities was taking care of their needs on full time basis
Neil was totally thrilled the way every thing was panning out...he went to the backstage where Mishty was finishing her touch-up..
" You got the amazing talent in visualising Mishty..the banquet hall is beyond beautiful..I can't even express my thanks to you for your support and contribution...I was part of Rajvansh's. And now you're an important part of me..and Eve & Tal....love ya"
Mishty was about to chide him for buttering her up...but a look into the mirror held her..
Abir stood at a distance... looking at them but he couldn't see her because of Neil..
" Well .. thanks accepted...and remember all these waxy lines when I ask for a pay hike..I got to make a payback soon..."
She replied lightly..
" Wow..one complement and seedhe payhike..and what payback?"
Mishty turned to face Neil.
" Hein ek karz Jo humein utarna Hein..
Varna Dil ka bojh..kaha utarna hein"
" Ooh.my God!.I don't understand what that means.. anyways are you sure you will get ample time to change in between... you need help?"
Abir turned back abruptly and disappeared..
" I am okay..no need to send anyone..all will be already busy ..and don't worry I have worked on it and it's all in this...Disha did a great job with the lines.."
She showed him the tab with the presentation..
Neil seemed distracted..
" Hmm..she is good na.. okay..you rock girl..I will be there cheering"
He patted her affectionately and went out..
Mishty turned to the mirror..her mind reeling at the flaming look sent her way just now.
Well...game on...!
****
Meenakshi, Parul ,Nirmala ,Chethan...
All were enchanted by the beauty of the hall as they were ushered in to be seated on the reserved seats in the balcony...
The whole event was being covered by Neil's camera crew and he was busy directing them...
Abir being the host along with Piya and Jacques was seated opposite the stages..In a slightly elevated level around the hall... Along with other invited guests.
The lights dimmed on all tiers and then after a few minutes...the small stage lit up in the pure devotional yellow golden and red light combination..
Krishna devotion..
A mini life-size Radha Krishna murti was kept on the small stage and Mishty came as Radha invoking Krishna to provide blessings...
As all were immersed in the flute background..the lights dimmed and chandeliers shimmered bright bringing the center of the hall into an ethreal view .
Their celebrity guest performing to the iconic Ghar more pardesiya. Praising Lord Rama...by Siya..
As on the cue the dimlit stage brightened up with a group of performers along with Mishty complemented the group in the center hall....

Abir felt as if he was having dreamy illusions..the way she looked at him...
With such a pure adoration and shyness..
His heart just literally flew away from him to join hers...and some how he felt her hug him tenderly and an urge to be close to her was building up in him..
The inaugural ceremony was a short one as the chairman of the international consortium of hoteliers welcomed Abir Rajvansh as the new member in the fold...
The following performance to be was salsa .Artists were to perform Miami style salsa..and the center of the hall was lit in deep red hues to accentuate the black and red costumes of the performers...
Abir who was beyond impatient...excused himself from the dignitaries and moved to the back door unnoticed while the lights dimmed..
****
Mishty was alone in her changing room...
All were busy with the performance on stage either participating or enjoying and she couldn't find fault with them...But the dress was delicate and she was having problems...
" Yeh Kuhu bhi na... couldn't she get any other dress...dekha toh theek thaak tha..ab yeh kaise...uhhh..."
Mishty stomped her feet lightly as she faced the long curtained window...she was able to tie the choker buttons ..but her back zip was still undone...as she bent backwards slightly to hold the zip..... a hand caught hers...!!
The unexpected jolt of electricity numbed her for a fraction of the second.... intimating her...
Abir...!
She straightened slowly as his fingers moved up along the zip... trailing along her spine....
Mishty closed her eyes.... savouring the sensation his fingers did to her...and didn't even realize that he finished zipping her up and now turned her to face him..
Abir's eyes widened at her half closed eyes,and he himself felt intoxicated at the view in front of him....
Soft upright half moons beckoning him to nuzzle ... something .. some dĂŠjĂ vu awakening in him...
His fingers outlined her choker bound neck.. trailing along the sides of the low cut....and then something odd registered in his brain...
His fingers stopped moving and he looked at her exposed area of the breasts intently..
Was that ....?
His hand withdrew abruptly..
Mishty who was totally mesmerised by his presence and touch was suddenly aware of his withdrawal...she opened her eyes and found his staring at ....
Her hands flew to her bosom as Abir swallowed hard, turned his head and threw the question...
" Mishty..is Neil treating you alright..I ..umm..I don't think it's wise to rush things with him...you know what umm..I mean.."
Mishty stood baffled for a whole long minute...
Just seconds ago he was touching her with such delicacy and reverence that she could feel his emotions with her shut eye...
Then wham..!!!
Where did Neil came from...??
Then her eyes went to his which were still focused on her chest....
Her fingers moved to see what made him this jumpy and felt the slight burn.. which she had completely ignored in the day's events....
Her eyes filled with relief and as she lifted her eyes to him...she blushed..
Abirs blood which was heated at the moment boiled over at the display of her shyness...
" I think I..I should tell him directly to respect you and.not to.... repeat ...this kind of ...ummm.,.behaviour..."
Abir turned away to go afraid his tears would give him away .. Mishty..lost to him...
A hand clasped his...
Slightly tugged him.. to face her.,
He took a breath to clear his nose..and looked at her trying hard to look disinterested..
"Neil was never this close to me to cause a mark on me Abir...'"
Her eyes were clear and straight... locking his.
" But yesterday some body was ... drinking irresponsibily and acting like a 2 year old..."
Abirs mouth parted in shock...then he raked fingers through his hair and stood still....hand rubbing his temples..
Mishty waited for the fact to sink in..Abir would start murmuring sorrys and she waited for his apology to come...
But to her surprise he went to her dressing table...laden with cosmetics...he found something and took it to her..
"It's aloe cream...rub it on ..it will soothe the burn....
Mishty stood there uncomprehendingly...with a blank look at him ..
Abir waited a second...then scooped a bit on his fingers and with a supressed sigh pulled her close...
" This will relieve the redness and the burn..."
His fingers glided along her skin in a cooling sensation..making her knees watery as she involuntarily leaned to her side...onto his hard biceps..
Her eyes lifted to his pleadingly...but his eyes were at the task at hand... palming her neck down and as seconds ticked his touch turned from caring to intimate..as if etching her contours in his mind through fingers.. his other hand had found its way to the nape of her neck ..his thumb carelessly caressing her simple diamond studded earlobe.,
Mishty''s breath quickened at this sensual assault and she held him for support...
His eyes met her and through the silence they communicated In a language unknown to both of them....
His palm cupped the side of her face,. thumb lightly brushing her slightly parted lips.. while his other hand lowered and encircled her waist ...pulling her closer to him.
" Don't ever call me Bro ...I can't stand that... understood...? God.!....I can't hold out anymore..."
Last part was his tortured soliloquy...
surrendering to himself...
The voice by her ears was husky and Mishty looked up at his pained eyes...
"Abiiiir..."
The first touch of his fingers cupping her face... tilting upwards...
His thump caressing her lower lip...
His hot breath mingling with hers.....
The first touch of his cool lips on her hot...quivering ones ...
Everything blacked out for Mishty as Abir pulled her onto his chest,crushing her onto him...and her hands involountarily moved along his sides to his neck...his soft hair...skimming through its silky softness...drawing herself more closer to the warmth of the hard planes of his chest...a woozy mist was thickening in her brain as his lips stopped his gentle exploration and set to plunder the softness with determination...swallowing her sighs and gasps...
And then the tranquillity of the moment was broken by a giggle which appeared to reach them from far far away...searing the mist ruthlessly...
"Ofcourse Mom.....Abir does take good care of your daughter.....and if you have any more demands...do tell him to the face...come we'll find him...he must be out here somewhere...be with the guests.. first I have to make sure Mishty is ready.....you know what..?...Neil is in love...and Mishty is perfect for him... You wait here .. I'll look upon her and join you.."
Piya's voice sounded from the corridor end leading to the room they stood...
Abir saw the changes happening in the wide eyes which were deliciously half shut in a sensual way after the kiss...as if seeing his own reflection of emotions...he never knew when their lips parted and his started moving along her jaws to her neck ..but the moment the spell was broken he saw confusion...disbelief...shock ..not only in her eyes...but also in his mind...
Is that Piya's voice??
"Piya..!!"
Her hands untwined from his neck trailed down to his chest as incredulity dawned into her eyes...and then she gasped ..!
It was then he let go of her ...she staggered as if she lost her anchor ...but took two steps backward and Abir saw her hands moving to her lips .....
Oh!! God..!!! What have he done?...
"Mishty..no...no...don't...I am...don't cry. I didn't mean to....."
He was sorry...!! !!
He didn't mean to...???
Mishty could not believe what happened moments before..
He kissed her...
Abirr kissed her ... passionately...!!
She kissed him..back... with equal fervour...
And then ....
He was sorry that all this happened ...and why not ?...Piya...!!
Whatever feelings he had for her was struck at one point.
Piya..!
It was then she registered the footsteps coming their way...
Not able to look at his face ... Mishty turned away from him holding on to the dressing table... unable to look at herself too.
" Wow.. you're already here ...Abir... don't pester her now.. I am sure she'll present the launch video slides perfectly..."
Piya came in...
Abir nodded trying to bring a semblance of smile on his face...
Mishty hurriedly took her lipstick from the heap in front of her and applied..
" Mishti..you look... wow..my brother is a dead man! You ready yet..?"
" Umm....uhh..5 minutes..just have to manage my hair ..."
" Okay...then should I wait...?"
Piya looked at both for the answer..
" You go Piya..I'll bring Mishty.."âŚ..
The lipstick fell off from her trembling fingers and Mishty took the tissues in the pretext of evening out the lip colour..
" Okay then..bring her fast..Neil is getting anxious.."
Mishty looked at Abir through the mirror and saw him.nod...and turn to look at her .. their eyes locking in the mirror.
