Mishti couldn't wait for abir to show up. She couldn't hide her feelings anymore. She needed to apologise and she wanted to make sure if he was okay. Oh god. The happiness she felt when she saw that locket. He really did love her. Saving that locket was basically saving their relationship. But bas. Now she just wanted to hide away in his embrace and forget everything. Abir on the other hand was a complete mess. How could she? Why would she? His anger was overpowering his sanity. He tried to control himself when he saw her but the minute she started talking with a smile, he saw the lack of remorse on her face and he just lost it. "I'm so glad you came Abir. I was so worried that you wouldn't come." She held her heart in her hands along with the locket that she coincidentally found today morning. Abir scoffed and said, "I should have been worried that you're back in my life mishti. Oh wait no, you're not mishti. Not even close. You're some stranger standing here. Mishti 2.0 as you call yourself." Mishti's heart plummeted down when she realised what he was talking about. "Abir Abir I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..but the situation was such..". Abir was on a roll. "What situation mishti? You made my brothers life a nightmare and this is your explanation? Your excuse? I'm so done with this. What are you sorry for? For hurting nanko? For hating him or hating me?" Mishti stepped back. "Abir. Abir. I don't hate you..please listen to me.." she continued. "Don't even come closer mishti. I can't..I just can't. I hate the fact that I love you. Tum itni selfish kab se ho gayi ho? Get away, do me a favour and stay away from both me and my nanko. I thought you understood me and my family but clearly you don't. You let your anger get the best of you and that is NOT the mishti I know or love." He pushed her away. But mishti couldn't let him get away or this time she really won't survive. She tries again and holds his hand but this time he jerks her off harder and she's about to hit the ground but nannu catches her in time. "Ms teapot. Are you okay?" Abir realises his harshness and turns around to find her on the ground. But this time his anger knows no qualms. "Abir. Tum pagal ho kya? What if she would've gotten hurt?" Demands nannu now standing up and kuhu supporting mishti. Abir creates a wall around himself and says, "jaise tum usse kuch hone dete?" He scoffs. Kuhu is shocked to see Abir behave this way. Nannu starts talking, "what are you so mad about? A little truth? Why can't you face the mirror Abir? Before lashing out on her did you even bother asking what your precious brother did? That led to all this? Don't. Be. A. Hypocrite. And you're right. Her family won't let anything happen to her. We have her back." Said nannu. Abir let out a bitter chuckle and said, "you protecting her is okay?but I'm a hypocrite when I protect my brother. Double standards don't you think? And you know what, whatever Kunal did. He didn't deserve to have his life and his trust on relationships being taken away from him." Abir said. "You're talking about trust in relationships Abir?..." before nannu could continue mishti said, "shut up both of you. Abir I'm sorry. Please listen to us once please..." mishti begged. Abir put on his shades and walked away. Walking over her heart and self respect all over again. She was feeling numb now. How could he? "Mishti I told you. He cares for you but not enough to fight for you. We should have never come back. This is what I was scared for. All our plans failed." Kuhu was shocked. Plans. "This was a plan? Pretending that yall are together was a plan?Hashtag are you serious?" Mishti stood there. Numb. And nannus lack of confirmation was all the confirmation she needed. "So nanchak yall don't love each other?" Kuhu questioned.
"Mishti loves Abir." Is all nannu said. Mishti and kuhu couldn't believe this. Nannu loved mishti? Mishti was having difficulty breathing. So despite Nishant and kuhu calling her. She walked away. But something in kuhu snapped. How could Abir bro do this to mishti again. She wiped her tears and went to the RV HOUSE. Hashtag no longer keeping things separate.
Abir was in his room. Questioning the painting. "Tumne aisa kyu kiya Mishti? Kyun?" He asked.
"Abir bro. You should've asked this to mishti. And not the painting. Apne mujhse kaha tha ki main haq se aapse baat kar sakti hoon na. So listen. Kunal told you that mishti told him everything. Did he tell you that he could've almost murdered nanchak yesterday? Did he tell you that he gave alcohol to a recovering addict? Did he tell you that he confessed to this? Did he tell you that it was mishti who stopped me from telling everyone the truth? Did he tell you that we have less than a week before our divorce is final? And judging by the look on your face I'm sure he didn't. So if you are regretting trusting mishti blindly then you better regret trusting your precious nanko so blindly too. You broke her heart again. The same girl who ran away on the day of her goddhana to protect you. The same girl who despite having no reason to, came back for you. Fought for you. But you know what? You RV bros don't deserve this. Nothing is ever right for yall. But our dadu has taught us all about self respect and we're done letting you guys have a shot at it. So aap mere big bro hain but before that mishti is my sister. And next time I won't be able to hear you talk this way with her." She turned around but before leaving the room she said "aap mishti ko keh rahe the na that you don't recognise her anymore? But do you recognise yourself? Aap sabse zyada understanding the hastag the best. But this is not you. I know ki mishti made a mistake and you should punish her for it. Hashtag jaisi karni waise bharni. But Abir bro aapne toh uska dil tod diya. But don't worry. Aap apne nanko ko sambhaliye aur main apni behen ko." And kuhu left with her head held high. But leaving Abir in questions. What was she talking about? Recovering addict? Alcohol? What? Was he right? Did ma use his nanko again? And what divorce? Wasnt everything okay between them?And why didn't Kunal tell him all this? He shakes his head and goes to Kunal's room. "Nanko! Nanko!" Abir calls out. "Yes bhai? Kahiye?" Asks Kunal. "Kal exactly kya hua tha nanko?" Abir asked. Kunal's face falls. "Woh bhai..ma ne I mean aapki ma ne mujhse nishant ke drink mein alcohol add karne ko bola tha. And because he was an addict he started getting seizures. But bhai..ab sab thik hai na? Did you talk to nishant aaj? He's okay right? I'm sorry bhai. Kal mein itna disturbed tha that I forgot to tell you. I'm really sorry. In fact mishti even stopped kuhu from telling everyone that it was me. Oh bhai I must go and apologise to them. Which reminds me I have to ask you something important?" Said Kunal. He wanted to know if his bhai still loves mishti or no. "Kunal. There's a lot I need to ask you too. But before that we both have some apologising to do. Let's go. You go to the Maheshwari house and I'll meet you there in sometime. Let's go. Now."Abir instructed and left. He wanted to reprimand Kunal but before that he owed mishti a lot of apologies. How could he be so blind and stupid? He called kuhu. "Kuhu I know you're mad at me. And you should be. Thank you for opening my eyes but all of this can be done later. Where is mishti? I need to talk to her." He asked hopefully. Kuhu couldn't stop herself and started crying. "Abir bro..she's not picking her phone and I can't even track her. The last thing I heard from her is a message saying that she needs some space and that she'll be back. Abir bro she isn't even talking to nanchak. Oh god.." she cried. Abir's heart broke. Where could she be? He went everywhere he thought she could be and kept praying for her to be okay. He couldn't lose her. Last he went to the lake. And on the cot in his tent he found the locket with a note. Oh god. The locket. The note said, "I'm sorry. I really am." That's it. Her name was scribbled at the bottom but then cancelled. The paper had ink smudges which indicated that she had been crying. And the fact that her name was scribbled off meant that abirs words stung. When he said he didn't recognise her anymore. She took it literally. Oh god. He hurt her so much. He had to look for her. And now. He discarded his glasses. Because now. He had to be there for her. Be her Abir. And nothing else. No more hiding. And no more hurting.

Spoiler for the next epi- he finds her. But in what state is the question👀😏
Is she okay?
