After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.

***

Mumbai was having it's one of the worst downpour , when Manik and Abhimanyu left the gym . Abhi moved towards his car , well as Manik already got in his car , and left the gym , thinking to meet his sister soon . 

As Abhi saw Manik leaving the parking lot , he sighed and remembered what Manik told him about Mukti , he sighed and pulled out his phone from his jeans pocket . He dialed Mukti's number but it didn't even ranged once as he hanged it . He don't know why but he was not able to cope up with Mukti, the feelings of him liking her were always surfacing in his heart . 

Sighing he was going to open his car's door , when his phone rang . He looked at the caller id and noticed it was from his hospital and hence he picked it up . 

" Hello ." He greeted the person . 

" Doctor Abhimanyu , are you going on a date today ?"  the caller asked , abhi frowned at the question but the caller continued " Someone has been waiting for you at the door for a long time. "

" No , I am not . Umm What does the person look like ? " Abhi asked the caller clearly knowing he was not going on any date today . 

" It's the same girl who keeps coming to our hospital to meet you . It's raining heavily here , I don't think she is going to leave .  " The caller said , and it was like a breath hitched for Abhimanyu . 

Mukti was near his hospital under the downpour . He took a deep intake of breath and said " Okay , I will see . " And he hanged the call . He got inside the car drove it out of the parking lot . 

----

Mukti was settled near the pavement drowned in the rain , she had crossed her arms around her knees which where closed near her chest . Her cheek were damned with her tears as she looked at the lonely street which was drowned in rain . 

She was shivering due to cold and all the things and talk she had with her brother rewidened in her mind .  Abhi soon reached near the hospital and parked his car in the pavement , where he saw the worst sight he ought to see , His mukti was a crying mess under the rain . He had never seen Mukti so miserable even when he rejects her , but looking at her like this his heart just broke into pieces .

Pal Bhar Thahar Jao,

Dil Ye Sambhal Jaye,Kaise Tumhe Roka Karoon,
Meri Taraf Ata,Har Gham Phisal Jaye
Ankhon Mein Tum Ko Bharoon,
Bin Bole Baatein Tumse Karun,
Agar Tum Saath Ho,
Agar Tum Saath Ho.

He moved near her , and as seeing him near her , Mukti looked up only to stare in Abhi's eyes . She stubbled on her feet as she got up and in an instance she just crashed her body in his in a hug . 

Behti Rehti, Neharein Nadiya Si,
Teri Duniya Mein, Meri Duniya Hai,

Teri Chahaton Mein,
Main Dhal Jati Hoon,
Teri Aadaton Mein,
Agar Tum Saath Ho.

Abhi was in shock due to the sudden hug , but his heart broke hearing her little sobs , conflicting with his brain he wrapped his arm around her frame and hugged her consoling her . He caressed her wet hair , trying to make her stop sobbing . Feeling like an eternity , she calmed a bit and Abhi made her settled in the passenger seat . 

Teri Nazron Mein Hai,

Tere Sapne, Tere Sapno Mein Hai Narazi,
Mujhe Lagta Hai Ke,
Batein Dil Ki,
Hoti Lafzon Ki Dhoke Bazi,
Tum Saath Ho,
Ya Na Ho Kya Fark Hai,

Bedard Thi Zindagi,Bedard Hai,

Agar Tum Saath Ho,

Agar Tum Saath Ho. 

Abhi drove the car silently , as he noticed Mukti looking out of the window , her hair were wet which caused water droplets to slide through her neck , Sighing Abhi passed her few tissues to wipe them . Mukti took the tissue and wiped her neck and also ruffled her hair with them , but it was of no use . 

" Why were you there ? You should have called me ." Abhi asked her .

" Why should I call you ? To let you bully me again ? " Mukti asked him back . Abhi's and Mukti's relation changed a bit since she fell ill , Abhi had to use some words where he told Mukti that she is not his worth so that she stops pursuing her . Which Abhi regret badly as he didn't mean them , but Mukti took his words seriously . 

Palkein Jhapakte Hi,

Din Ye Nikal Jaye Bethi-Bethi Bhaagi Firoon,

Meri Taraf Ata,Har Gham Phisal Jaye,

Aankhon Mein Tum Ko Bharoon

Bin Bole Baatein Tumse Karoon,

Agar Tum Saath Ho [x2].

Abhi sighed at her words and didn't said anything to her and just concentrated on driving . Mukti looked at the roads and asked him " Where are you taking me ? " 

" Your home ." Abhi replied to her . 

" I have no home . " Mukti replied to him bluntly and arrogantly . 

" Mukti , listen , Your brother must be worried about you right now . " Abhi explained but it was like it went into Mukti's deaf ears . 

" He had chosen Raj Malhotra , between me and him . That's not my home . " Mukti said , but Abhi didn't reacted on it , seeing no reaction from him , Mukti tried to open the car door when Abhi held her hand and pulled it . 

" What are you doing ? Are you crazy ? " Abhi shouted at her .

" I am not going home , Just drop me here . " Mukti shouted at him , Abhi calmed a bit and said " Okay , Fine . Then just tell me where do you want to go ? "

" Anywhere , Or just take me to a hotel . " She said looking outside the window . 

Abhi shook his head in disbelief and continued driving , while Mukti kept looking at the water droplets on the window screen.

----

Manik stood near the glass balcony looking at the rain falling ,  he was calling Mukti time to time but the only response he was getting was her phone is switched off . He sighed at her sister's behavior and tried to call again , when his phone beeped with a Message . He opened the message as it was of Abhi. 

Abhi - Mukti is with me . Don't worry . 

Manik - Thank you . Take care of her . 

Manik breathed a sigh knowing that Mukti is in safe hands now . He was going keep his phone back when he got a message with Nandini too . 

Nandini - I called Mukti but her phone is off , is she home with you ? 

Manik - She is with Abhimanyu now , Don't worry . 

Nandini - That's good . 

Manik texted her back and then kept her phone looking at the fall . 

----

Mukti moved out of the washroom wearing Abhi's long t-shirt and shorts , wiping her wet hair she moved towards the couch in the living room and also had a look on Abhi who was making hot soup for her . 

Abhi moved towards Mukti with the bowl of soup in his hand , when he noticed her drying her hair with the towel , they sight infront him of Mukti , just in his clothes was so alluring to him , but didn't wanting to lose his calm and control on his nerves he said " Here , Drink this soup , It will help you  to get yourself warm . "

Mukti just took the bowl from his hand and didn't said anything to him , sighing Abhi said " The bedroom is ready for you . Just go to bed early after you finish the soup . " 

" Thank you . " She said and stirred spoon in the soup bowl , Abhi was going to leave but the behavior of her not talking to him , not irritating him was piercing in his heart and hence he said " Umm .. If you are still mad at me about what happened , I apologize to you . If my apology   still can't vent your anger , then you can beat me . {Mukti had a smile at his confession but soon covered it . } I am not used to you being like this . "

Controlling her smile Mukti said " Then why you said all that things to  me  before ? " 

" I... " Abhi couldn't continue as Mukti looked up at him and said " So that I give up on you ? " She said and cried a little as all the emotions again resurfaced in her heart . 

" Please , Please , don't cry . " Abhi said and sat next to her on the couch and continued " Yes , I just did it on purpose . I can't help it. I didn't wanted you to get hurt , I just wanted that you forget about the feelings . Please don't cry . " 

She stifled her tear as Abhi tried to make her laugh making different faces and end up getting success . He smiled while mukti looked at him controlling her laughter . 

" Umm .. so you don't me , right ? " Mukti asked him .  

" Off course I don't hate you , I like you idiot . " Abhi said and in the very next instance he regretted saying it , as Mukti's eyes twinkled and her lips stretch into a wide grin .   

Before Mukti could say anything to him or he could change the words he said , he just left to his room telling her to go to sleep soon , while Mukti chuckled at his behavior and drank the soup . 

----

Next Morning 

It was the day when Manik and Nandini had to go and visit Manik's family . Manik was all ready in his teal color blazer and trouser teamed with a white shirt , now waiting for Nandini outside her apartment . 

Nandini came out of her apartment after locking the door securely . She walked towards him , looking beautiful wearing a long grey patterned center slit kurta , teamed with blue palazzo , her hair where slightly curled up from the bottom .   

Manik saw her and smiled at the beauty that is his . He noticed that she had a bag , which would be a gift probably and hence he asked her as she came near him " What gift did you choose ? " 

" It's not for you , so it's not important for you to know . " She teased him with a raised eyebrow , which made Manik chuckle as he said " I can give you some advises if you tell me . " 

She pouted at his comment and said " I choose wisely . " 

Manik smiled and nodded at her and then opened the car's door for her to get in , she smiled at his chivalry and got inside the car , while closing the door properly , Manik jogged towards his side and entered the driver seat and soon zoomed out the car from the pathway .

Abhimanyu's House 

Abhi woke up from his sleep and got outside of his bedroom after getting freshen up . He stretched out his arms as and moved towards the living room , he had literally forgot that he was not alone in the house today . As he moved towards the living room he heard " Good morning . " 

Abhi startled at the sudden voice and looked behind to see Mukti giggling at his shocked face . She came from the kitchen and placed two coffee mugs on the dinning table where she already placed veg sandwiches for their breakfast . 

" Good morning . " He replied to her and then noticed at the breakfast on the table and looked at her and said " You know , It feels so good to be able to eat a hot meal in the morning . "

Mukti smiled at his comment and said " You can have as many hot meals you want , if you are willing to be my boyfriend . I promise to serve you different meals every day .  " 

Abhi chuckled at her comment and took a sip of the coffee she made . She smiled at him and ate his sandwich when Abhi looked at her with a little serious expression as he said " Mukti , Go home , Your brother is worried about you . "

" He won't be worried . He is a cold - Blooded animal. " She said with a sad face . 

" Don't say it , he has his reasons to do it all .  You are his sister , you should take care of him and know his mood not just run away from the situation . Umm How about this , you just go and talk to him nicely . And then go to visit your dad with him . " Abhi said to her .

" No ! I will not go Home and will never forgive him . " Mukti said with a determined face . 

Abhi sighed at her and asked " Why do you hate your father so much ? You don't have to be like this to him . Can't you guys just sit down and talk nicely ? " 

Mukti just glared at him and said " If you have so much difficulty in this , I will just leave so that you don't see me again and also my problems will not affect you . " 

Abhi held her hand stopping her from going and said " Okay , Okay , I am sorry , i didn't mean in that way , Just sit down and eat . I will not ask you again. " 

Mukti smiled at him and nodded her head taking her place again to eat the breakfast .

Malhotra Mansion 

" Vibha , you don't have to do this all , take it easy and just have a rest . " Raj said from the living room settled with Neyonika as Vibha entered from the kitchen holding a plate of freshly chopped fruits for him . 

" Neyo , How can you keep a guest do all this . " Raj said to Neyonika for which she just chuckled as Vibha smiled and placed the plate infront of raj and got settled beside Neyonika . 

" She is not our guest Raj . " Neyonika said , with Vibha nodding at her in approval as Neyonika continued " I always treat Vibha as my family . "

" That's right , Uncle Raj . It's just you who treat me as a guest . " Vibha said with a pout , raj chuckled at it and said " I am sorry for that . By the way , How it is between you and Manik ? When are you both getting married ? " 

Vibha chocked at her words as she listened Raj , But Neyonika handled the situation saying " Raj , How can you ask a girl such a question face to face ? They might have their own plan . we should just let it go .  "

" Okay , you are right . But .. Don't keep us waiting for too long . " Raj said chuckling while Vibha huffed a breath as the topic got over . They were having their talks when the door bell rang , knowing that Manik was going to come they knew it was him , Raj stopped at his position as Vibha said " Umm I will get the door . " 

Neyonika nodded at her , while Raj kept his juice glass on the table and picked the newspaper and started reading it to show that he is busy .
