It's been a few days since the new year,
Kunal:bhaiya... where were you? i-
Abir: Maheshwari house.
Kunal: what? why?
Abir: to check whether mishti and kuhu time travelled or not!
Kunal: did they?
Abir: no!
Kunal: what if they see you?
Abir: no don't worry! I will take care of that!
Abir decided to jog through the wormhole building so that he can identify kuhu when she enters the building. (As kuhu was the first one to cross through the wormhole)
After a few months,
Abir was jogging near the building,
He saw kuhu near the building.
Abir stopped.
Abir: Finally.
Abir: should I stop? what if they didn't come back safe? what if i stopped her ? then nothing would have happened, then mishti and kuhu would be safe.
But he remembered aarav's words.
{
Aarav: abir... you cannot do anything else but wait. there is no other way out. if you do something, it complicates the other. just don't do anything. don't disturb the timeline.
}
Abir: he is right. I just have to go with the flow. let's think positive.
He silently followed kuhu and saw her open the door.
Abir: now its mishti's turn. maybe I should wait here.
He smiled at the door.
He called and informed ketki, Kunal and aarav.
Ketki brought him food as he insisted to stay in the building.
Kunal couldn't come as he was abroad due to work.
Ketki:bhaiya... you seem very happy.
Abir nodded.
Abir: I am...
Kekti smiled.
Abir: What?
Ketki: seeing this smile after years.
Abir: is it that obvious?
Ketki: of course.
They laughed.
It was evening,
Aarav was there with ketki and abir.
Ketki:bhaiya... why didn't she come till now?
Aarav:ketki...can you have some patience?
Ketki:bhaiya look who is talking about patience!
Abir: stop! for me! please!
Ketki and Aarav smiled.
Aarav: wait abir she will come... I checked the energy logs, it was around early night.
Abir was restless.
Aarav and ketki kept teasing him endlessly.
As it was prime time, the building was full of crowd.
They didn't have enough space to stand.
Abir stood near the stairs.
Ketki and aarav waited outside.
And finally, it was time.
Everything was on slow motion for abir. He saw mishti from far. He saw only mishti through the crowd.
She was getting down from an auto in the entrance of the building.
She was mumbling something at the entrance looking at the name board.
Abir smiled.
Aarav and ketki was watching her from the distance.
Aarav: what ? she looks same.
ketki: of course. she will. she is not a different person you idiot.
Aarav: I know and you are the first one to call me idiot after your brother.
Ketki: no one knew the truth except me and Kunal bhai.
Aarav sulked.
Mishti entered the building hastily.
Abir had a quick reality hit.
Abir: maybe I should hide. she is coming in this direction.
He tried to hide behind the stairs but he couldn't because of the crowd.
So he stood still in front of the stairs.
mishti tapped on her shoulder.
mishti: excuse me ... it is already a narrow hallway and a narrow staircase ...can you please stand aside so that I can go inside and find my crazy sister ... please.
Abir was so thrilled to hear her voice.
His mind was full of confusion.
Abir: should I turn or not?
After few seconds,
Abir: whatever.
He turned and took off his sunglass to see her. He saw her tensed face.
Abir:woooh ... cool cool ok I can move aside ...but ask nicely ... not like this
mishti folded her hands in front of him.
mishti: please can you move?
Abir: ok this is nice ... I will move.
He moved to give her way to climb stairs.
She tripped while climbing the stairs.
Abir caught her from behind.
They had a moment.
mishti: are you a pervert?
Abir heads no.
mishti: are you srk?
Abir: no.
mishti: are you in love with me?
Abir: of course no ...what the hell
Abir: of course yes, a lot, more than you imagine.
mishti: then ...why are not letting me go !!
Abir realises himself and let her stand on the ground...
Abir (with a frown): a nice way of thanking someone who saved your life!!
mishti(*with a fake smile*): thank you ...but I am running late ...see you!
she runs into the stairs.
Abir: such an weirdo. as she is always.
He saw her run into the spa and after some time, the wormhole door.
Abir let out a sigh.
Abir: now...she has to come back safely.
Aarav and ketki ran to abir.
Abir: she went inside the door.
Aarav nodded.
Ketki: but bhaiya you spoke to her ! is that okay?
she looked at aarav.
Abir(*bulb moment*): waah waah... wait...I just now remember. mishti said she met me in 2020 before entering the door.
Aarav: wow. then time loop I guess.
ketki was dumbfounded.
ketki: I just got goosebumps!!
Abir hugged both of them.
Abir: finally I am one step closer to meet my angry chorni.
He took the camera and recorded that moment too.
Abir: hi!! just now dropped you at wormhole!
he laughed.
Abir: isn't that great! everybody will say "I dropped you at the airport or railway station". but see us. destiny it seems.
As he came out of the building, he saw mishti's auto waiting for her.
Abir:mishti...see this auto is waiting for you! he do not know the truth!
Abir settled the auto-charge.
Abir: I am waiting for you like this auto !!!
Ketki(*From background*):bhaiya... it was way too cheesy!!
Abir blushed.
it was next day,
As abir was not sure of their return date, he decided to visit the building daily.
As he was waiting, a thought struck his mind.
Abir:badima... badipa... even I am suffering this much! I can't imagine their situation. i should go and pacify them.
He rushed to Maheshwari mansion.
But what he saw stopped him from saying this.
The house was dark.
Abir: it's not how mishti described.
He still knocked the door.
Jasmeet opened the door.
He couldn't find an exact reason to justify his actions.
So he just blabbered whatever he thought on the moment.
After a few days, he got comfortable with badima.
He treated them as his own family members.
10 days before mishti and kuhu's arrival,
Kunal rang him.
Abir:nanko... when are you coming? you saw news right? there is going to be another lockdown they say ... it's going to be severe than before. so please come fast.
Kunal: wait...wait... I am here. Aaah ...
Abir: What?
Kunal: Almost.
Abir: where?
Kunal: just now flight landed at Delhi. I will be taking another flight within minutes. Aaahh
Abir: wow... this is my Nanko. but what happened to you?
Kunal:bhai...its nothing...
Abir: what? tell me now.
Kunal: don't tell anyone in the house. I kind of broke my leg. it's paining as hell.
Abir: what? you broke your leg? are you kidding me?
Kunal: nope. it's a long story.
Abir: then why did you board the flight? wait how did they allow you?
Kunal: you said right? there is going to be a second lockdown. here they are rushing things and I don't want to be stuck here forever. I want to be with you guys. so I asked special permission and bought a temporary cast.
Abir: I am coming to pick you up. there is no lockdown for now.
Kunal: they will not allow in the airport.
Abir: at least I should try. how can I leave with you such pain?!
He rushed to the airport.
Airport staff didn't let Kunal to leave.
They wanted him to quarantine and test.
he saw Kunal from a distance.
He was struggling to walk.
Abir: yaar...
he felt sorry for Kunal.
Abir was waiting in the lobby.
A staff's walkie-talkie went off. It said "please don't let anyone out from the airport. There is a confirmed case's contact inside the airport. everybody has to quarantine and test. repeating again. don't let anyone out."
Staff: see...you shouldn't have come inside first of all. now you have to quarantine.
Abir and Kunal were sent to a camp for quarantine.
They were sent to the same camp.
}[end of Ketki's flashback]
Ketki: and this is the last update of abir and Kunal bhaiya.
Both mishti's and kuhu's eyes were teared up.
badima: ketki! i am badima of mishti and kuhu.
ketki: Namasthe badima!
Badima: what happened after that? how is abir and Kunal?
ketki: they didn't contact us for past 4 days badima. The signal is weak, it seems. the last update was "we are fine. don't worry too much. will be home soon within 14 days"
Badima looked worried too but she wanted to console mishti and kuhu.
Badima: Nothing will happen to them! don't worry! God will be with them... I will pray for them.
