Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

17. Release

And they both hear Khushi say now, wiping a happy tear outta the corner of her eye and Arnav's too - " it is a very emotional moment, for us, too...Mini Maa, Matthew Dad...oh Mini Maa...will you stop crying that way?? Matthew Dad..uh -oh ...now you too...will you both make us cry too?????"

But Mini couldn't stop her tears from flowing.Neither could Matthew.And it was obvious that – just led to Arnav and Khushi – giving into the emotion of the moment too, and a couple of minutes later, now because Mini wanted answers as to how this development even came about she asks trembling in happy emotion – " okay...lets get all this happy crying on control, kids....but...how??when?? did you two??even???meet??? please tell me....Khushi...b..eta...here... I was waiting for your confirmation..on sharing your number with him..."

And Matthew jumps to it on reflex now too happy in the moment – " I am sorry Mini, for keeping it as a secret from you till now, but I kinda leaked Khushi's location+ her picture to Arnav the other day...itself...and I guess...he just took care of the rest....."

Mini's eyes widen at that in shock, for it wasn't for Matthew to ever go behind her back, but because she was too happy in the moment she said to him – " you whattttttttttt???"

Matthew asks – "are you mad at me??"

Mini states immediately – " Well, if I wasn't seeing the sight I am seeing right now, I would be perhaps? yes, I surely would be....but...now that I can guess...you have a hand into the bits that eventually led to this...,"she gestures to Arnav and Khushi together on screen – " I am obviously not going to be mad at you.....Matthew...."

Matthew sighs in relief at that and kisses Mini's head in a gesture that says, I will fill you all in on it all from my end, after we finish talking to them.

And as Mini nods at that, they both hear Arnav say now grinning - "Well , yes, I cannot thank Matthew Dad enough for that,ill give you brief highlights.So, it was also that day - I actually also realised then , that I did have a way to get in touch with Khushi...through our old email...and then...I sent her an email...finally...to which she replied...and...we just got talking then...I told her I was heading to Australia too...convinced her with my persistence , to finally meet me...thankfully, for my luck, she agreed and....in fact she was there in the audience for the concert the other day too...Mini Maa and Matthew Dad....and well...now...to cut the long story short....you can say...we'v both decided to figure things out in between of us...give each other/us... a shot in the present...because...thanks god, it turned out...she never did end up feeling for anybody else the same..way...like she did for me....and well...you know how it was at my end...,"and with that he also subtly gestures to the two as Khushi was wiping her emotional tears at that – that she(Khushi) still doesn't know the complete truth, that he had managed to cover up...

Mini and Matthew catch on the gesture and just subtly acknowledge it – in the moment – getting his hint to not give the truth away, but as both their eyes flood with more tears at that anyway, Mini asks Khushi now – " Khushi...beta????? Now you please...stop crying this way?? you are getting me so emotional...also who will answer my questions, in details then?haan? Arnav just gave highlights...we want details..."

And they see Khushi bury her head into Arnav's shoulder at that as she whispers wiping her happy tears, with Arnav joining her in to help on the same – " sorry...Mini Maa...I am just feeling so vulnerable...right now...that's all....we just finished talking to Meera...too...like just as we hung up with her...Arnav called you....so I am just very emotional...that's all....,"but with that she manages to wipe her tears – "nonetheless... we will give you the details...Mini Maa...Matthew Dad...you al..l ask..."
