"Wow, what a beautiful voice" Ishu could hear the comment behind her. She sighed tiredly and ignored the comment and walked towards Mishty.
"Arrey, don't turn away from me like this" he added as Ishu turns to his side.
"Don't butter me with your stupid words. I am not going to fall for it." Ishu snapped at him, making him pout at her anger. She is still angry with her son for the previous day's fight.
"And by the way, I can come home by myself. There is no need for you" she added as Sid rolled his eyes. He has never left her side ever.
"Don't kill me with your words. How can I let this beauty walk alone in the street? There are many evil eyes around. Do you even know that?" Sid replied as he was continuously walking around her making her all irritated.
"Don't irritate me. Just run behind cute girls and make them fall for you. I will do your marriage instantly and will do your bidai too. You can live with her." She replied and turned away making him gasp louder
"What did I just hear? Why do I have to hear all these? Why didn't I die before hearing them all?" Sid spoke dramatically and looked at his mom with a little pout on his lips. He gently grabbed her shoulders so that she would agree to his apology and let this anger go. But she shrugged it off mercilessly.
"Ishu, dear. Just forget everything and give me your beautiful smile" he whispered near her ears as she smiled with his words. He is just like a small kid sometimes. Guess she has to let this matter go.
"How dare you?" Ishu and Sid were startled by the sound behind them as they turned to see who was that. Before they could react, a loud sound echoed all around making Ishu gasp loudly. She looked at her son who was closing his cheeks which was just slapped by a girl.
There stood Mishty who has no regret of slapping him. Sid looked at her with red shot eyes. She doesn't have any right to slap him like this. Ishu was just staring at Mishty as if she would eat her all alive for hurting her son.
"Give importance to age at least. She is of your mom's age and you are flirting with her? Can't you see that she is not comfortable?" Mishty yelled at Siddharth as he looked back at his mom who was ready to smash Mishty at any second. He eyed his mom to relax and not to create any scene. By seeing that Ishu doesn't need any rocket science to find out that she is the same girl who has misunderstood Sid the other day. Ishu took a deep breath and grabbed Mishty.
"Mishty" Ishu slowly called her as Mishty grabbed her instantly to another corner and hugged her. Ishi could feel that she was crying silently.
"Any problem?" Ishu asks as she gets worried about her terrified state. She slapped him and now was crying silently? That doesn't make any sense.
"I am sorry, aunty" Mishty mumbled in between her sobs and tried to turn away. She is hurt by Sid's actions. She thought Sid is a nice guy but his actions proved that he is one like Vikram. How can he flirt with girls even after she is uncomfortable?
"Do you wanna share with me?" Ishu asked, knowing well that something is bothering her.
"I should leave now" Mishtu left the place abruptly as Ishu sighed. Maybe she should give more space to this girl. But she is angry as to how dare she slaps her son?
Mishty entered her room and slumped over the bed and started crying. She couldn't comprehend why she was crying? She has punished many men who tried to misbehave with girls. She always felt proud of herself. Then what happened today that she is crying after hurting Siddharth?
Mishty took her phone as it started ringing without even noticing the id.
"Hello!" Mishty tried to voice in a normal way but failed miserably as the person in the receiver could sense her state instantly.
"Mishku? Are you crying?" The voice made Mishty check the id. She sighed tiredly knowing that it's her mom who called her.
"What happened, dear? Why is your voice trembling? Are you okay? Are you suffering from fever? Or else did anyone disturb you? Omg did you again punch anyone? And I am sure that they would have harmed you this time. I have warned you many times not to beat boys like this. They are way more strong than you. Omg, what will happen if they have slapped you harder? Your face? Did it have an ugly mark? I guess I should ask your dad to look for a doctor to fox that. You should look pretty as always. I can't compromise on that." Asha, the mother of Mishty, spoke continuously, making Mishty giggle at her dramatic mother. She worries for her daughter a little too much.
Asha heard her giggle sound and took a sigh of relief.
"What happened princess? What is bothering you?" Asha asked on a serious note after realising that Mishty is fine and fit.
"As you said, I have slapped a guy today" Mishty mumbled with a pout. Now she is sure that her mom would advise her to stay away from fights.
"I guess I can sense your worries and confusions now?" Asha replied, making Mishty amused with her instant reply. Asha can understand everything that relates to Mishty even if she doesn't open up about anything.
"You have slapped some guy and are now feeling bad for it?" She guessed it right and Mishty dropped her jaw to the ground. Her mom is one of the rare species.
"I don't know mom" Mishty replied after a long silence.
"Maybe you thought he was a good guy and now maybe his actions reminded you of Vikram? Right?" Asha can judge everything perfectly thay Mishty can't even lie to her mom in any matter.
"I have heard a lot about Siddharth from Shruthi. I was curious to meet him at first. When I met him, I thought Shruthi was damn right about him. But his activities are not matching his nature. He is. He is an extremely different person when I get to know about him." Mishty opened up about her worries as Asha smiled at her daughter. She is too innocent and naive sometimes.
"Don't stress yourself. If you want to trust him, just do it. If you want to stay away from him, do it. But don't judge him quickly with just two or three meetings. Take your time. Because regret is the only thing which will hurt us way more than anything" Asha's words somehow felt so right as Mishty started feeling bad to slap him. She should have given it a second thought before acting that way. Maybe Sid is not like that which she understands. May or may not be.
"Thank you maa" Mishty mumbled with a smile and hung up the call.

"Mom, it's not a big deal" Sid mumbled as Ishu was continuously placing ice over his swollen cheeks. The girl is really strong and her hands were imprinted on his cheeks with red marks.
"I will just smash her right there when she comes before me next time" Ishu added as she was crying seeing the marks on his cheeks. Ishu never even slapped Sid for fun.
"Is it painful?" Ishu asked, gulping her tears.
"Come on mom. This sentiment doesn't suit you. It's just a small mark. Don't sulk like this" Sid is now annoyed with the overreaction of his mom.
"Hello, I am not dying to comfort you here. I can see how much you are hurt with her behaviour than this slap." Ishu replied as she is worried for him. Sid lowered his kids not wanting to think about it.
"You deserve me" Ishu added as she pressed the ice harder over his cheeks startling him.
"Murder. Murder" Sid yelled in pain as Maddy entered the room with his cheeky smile.
"Save your friend," Sid added as he called for Maddy.
"Stop laughing and help him with this" Ishu threw the ice pack to Maddy and left them. Maddy saw the red marks and widened his eyes.
"Who did this to my innocent friend?" Maddy asked in his dramatic tone, making Sid roll his eyes. He explained everything and Maddy started laughing at his miserable state.
Precap:
"Can you organise this event?" Arjun asked.
"Of course. It would be my pleasure." Suraj replied and shook his hands with Arjun.
"And you can bring that little boy Sid with you to the party. I wanted to see how he is grown up?" Arjun spoke in an excited tone.
