Abhira OS Book💕

Giving Up

Okay so..... An OS from Abhimanyu's POV about what happens after he finds out the truth through the picture and let's pretend Shefali recorded the Goenka Sisters conversation at the Airport.

I know it's not a happy one which is what this OS book was supposed to be but I felt Abhi needed this. Anyhow OS for now, might change to multi chapter later🤣

Lemme know what you think.

Enjoy Reading!💕

—————————

Abhimanyu Birla marched into the Goenka Mansion with a blank face and eyes full of fury. He had had enough. Enough pretending, enough lies, enough games and most of all enough of relationships. Today he realized he was right all along. Relationships brought nothing but pain and his initial plan to stay away from them was absolutely correct.

As he entered the hall, he saw the Goenkas all rushing around preparing, dancing and laughing. Looking around he found the person he needed to talk to and proceeded towards him.

"Arrey! Abhimanyu beta tum iss waqt yahan kya kar rahe ho?" Mimi asked worriedly as Abhimanyu bent to touch her feet in respect before continuing on his path.

Akshara and Arohi both stood frozen, one in concern for the man and the other worried about her plans failing.

Abhimanyu finally put his hands together and stood in front of Manish.

"Baaki koi samjhe ya nahi, mujhe umeed hai ke aap mujhe aur mere baat ko samjhenge." Abimanyu paused trying to clear his mind and choosing his words carefully.

"Jab Sir ne jhoot bhol kar shaadi ki tarik badal diya tha tab aap ka gussa aur apka shaadi thodne ka faisla bilkul sahi tha. Issi liye aaj mein yakeen ke saath keh sakta hu ki mera faisla bhi galat nahi hai...main apki poti se shaadi nahi kar sakta aur aaj ke baad mujhe apke kisi bhi poti se koi rishta nahi rakhna!"

Everyone began crying and yelling, infuriated at Abhimanyu for this last minute decision. Arohi began crying but for once Akshara's entire attention was on Abhimanyu as her concern for him only grew. Manish on the other hand remained calm as he raised his hand to quiet everyone and looked right into Abhimanyus eyes.

"Aur iss faisle ke peecha ka karan kya hai?" He asked authoritatively.

"Wahi joh us din apka tha. Jhoot aur dhoke ke bunyad se bane rishte kaha tak tik payenge?" Abhimanyu ignored everyone and continued to calmly speak to the head of the family.

"Kaisa jhoot? Kisne jhoot bhola hai?" Manish demanded looking at his family members and as his eyes landed on his two granddaughters both looking down ashamed, he sighed in disappointment.

Abhimanyu followed his gaze and for a moment seeing Aksharas tearful eyes, he reconsidered his decision but as the memories of the last few weeks and especially of the last hour replayed in his mind, he stood stronger than before.

"Sahi soch rahe hai aap." He confirmed Manish's thoughts.

He walked backwards to address the whole family.

"Bahot saalon pehle maine soch liya tha ki main kabhi shaadi nahi karunga. Main yeh manta tha ki iss rishte se dukh, dard aur dhoke ke elawa aur kuch nahi milta hai par phir main Akshara se mila..." he broke off as he walked towards a crying Akshara.

"Akshara se mil kar laga shayad main galat hu aur maine apni puri zindagi iske saath sochna shru kardiya. Par badle mein Akshara ne saabit kar diya ke mein joh pehle sochta tha bilkul sahi sochta tha."

He smiled sadly at Akshara before turning around again.

"Inn dono ne mil kar itne safai se jhoot bhola hai na ki agar inki hi muh se nahi sunta ya phir saboot nahi milta toh kabhi pata bhi nahi chalta. Yeh dekhiye..." he passed the camp photo he had found to Manish.

"Apki poti Akshara ne mujhe aag se bachaya aur sara credit le gayi Arohi. Chalo yeh toh phir bhi itni badi baat nahi hai. Par yeh video dekhiye." Abhimanyu played a video on his phone.

*Flashback*

Abhimanyu stood in shock and anger staring at the picture. "Kaun Arohi?" He asked Neil as focused in on concerned and teary face of Akshara in the picture.

"ABHIMANYU!"

Abhimanyu and Neil both looked up to see Shefali running in all out of breath.

"Yeh... yeh shaadi mat kar! Ar..Arohi..jhoot ...Akshara....pyar..." Shefali huffed trying to catch her breath. Giving up she pulled out her phone and passed it to Abhimanyu before sitting on the chair.

*End of Flashback*

"Shefali Bhabhi ne inn dono ko dekh liya tha Airport ke bahar jagarte hue aur jab unhone mera naam suna toh in dono ki baatien record kardiya"

The family stood stunned watching the fight between the sisters.

Akshara stood crying. She felt guilty for everything but there was also a sense of relief that Arohi had not succeeded in ruining Abhimanyu's life.

"Ab rone ka kya fayda Akshara? Batao na? Kya kasoor tha mera? Bas itna ki tumse pagalon ke tarah pyar ho gaya? Aur badle mein bas thoda sa pyar hi toh chahiye tha. Par nahi. Tumhare liye toh main koi khilona hu na? Tumhare liye aaya tha par tumhare choti behen ko pasand aagaya toh tumne hasee khushi usee dehdiya? Ek baar bhi mere bhare mein nahi socha?"

He laughed a joyless laugh as he stepped away from her.

"Yeh sab hi karna tha toh na aag se bachati aur na Ruby se. Zyada farq nahi hai tumhari behen aur Ruby mein. Dono toh bas apne matlab ke liye mujhse rishta jodna chahte te. Par tum? Agar pyar nahi kar payi, saath nahi deh payi toh kam se kam aise dhokha bhi na deti..."

He then turned towards Arohi and felt his anger rise.

"Aur tum!" He stopped and just looked at Arohi who seemed more annoyed and angry than guilty.

"Chodo, tumse kya kehna. Joh apni hi behen ke saath itna kuch kar sakti hai usse mere jazbaaton ki kya fikir hogi. Bas itna kahunga ki main koi trophy nahi hu joh top karne ke liye tumne jeeta ho. Agar main tumhari tarah sochta toh tum toh bilkul mere layak nahi ho. Ek intern hoke itne uche khwab dekhna bhi theek nahi hai Arohi Goenka." He took a few steps away before turning around again with full attitude.

"By the way, Paise deh kar seat kharidne ke liye Birla hospital tumhara internship bhi cancel kar raha hai toh ab toh tumhara aur mera koi mel nahi raha." He walked away leaving Arohi shocked.

Abhimanyu faced the family again and joined his hands again.

"Aap sab se koi shikayat nahi hai aur umeed karta hun ki aap mujhe aur mere faisle ko samajh sakenge. Mere wajah se jo bhi hua hai aap sab ke saath, uske liye maafi chahta hu" straightening up, he turned and left.

With every step he felt his heart break a little more, especially as he heard Akshara cry out his name just before he walked out the door. No more, he thought. If it was so easy for her to give him away like a toy than he refused to chase her anymore no matter how much letting her go hurt him.

He sat on his bike, wiped the single tear making it's way down his face and drove off, ignoring the image of her on his bike mirror.
