Love Of My Life

Prologue

8 days before Abhi and Aarohi's wedding.
On the day of mehndi.

Abhimanyu's room.

After the completion of Mehndi ritual,
Akshu tells Abhi she wants to talk to him so they both come to his room. Even he wanted few answers from her which was eating his head from soo many days.

As soon as they enter the room, Abhi starts to speak.

"Akshu yaar! Why are we doing like this? Why are we going through this pain. I love you, you love me but still we can't be together?" Abhi says this with sadness, pain and anger.

"Abhi I know that but..but we just can't be. Please understand" Akshu pleads him, with water in her eyes. Even she is feeling the same emotions as him.

They both are in a helpless state.

"But why?? Just tell me why??" He asks her. She stays silent not knowing what to answer him. This angers him a lot.

"Why akshu?? Why?? I'm asking a simple question?? Why??? Why can't I claim you as my wife you are in front of the world?? Why??? Answer me!! WHY!??" Abhi screams at her for answers with red and teary eyes!

Yes! They both are married! No one knows this except one person. They got accidentally married when they were not in their senses. But in their heart they have accepted that marriage.

"Please Abhi just understand me!" Akshu again pleads him. Now the tears are flowing on her face.

Abhi moves closer and cups her face, rubbing her tears away.

He leans his forehead on hers and asks,
"Please Akshu, I'm just asking the answers. And I think I deserve to know it."

He makes her sit on the bed and kneels in front of her.

"Now tell me Akshu, I'm not leaving you untill you tell the reason why you are forcing me with Aarohi?"

Akshu thinks for a bit and decides to tell it. Maybe that'll be a closure. And she even has to tell the thing for which she has come to talk. So maybe it will actually be a closure she thought.

"Woh Abhi, mein bachpan mein Sirat maa ko promise Kiya tha ki mein Aaru kaa dhyan rakhunga aur meri first priority woh hi hogi as she was younger to me. And Aaru still blames me for Sirat maa's death. Aaru really likes you Abhi! So for her and for her I'm doing this. She already thinks that I separated her from her mother. I can't separate her from you too now." She tells her perspective sadly in soft voice.

"Akshu, it's no fault of yours in Sirat maa's death. Aaru was just a kid, she didn't understand. And about the promise, you can still keep her as your priority by not letting her marry me! She doesn't love me! She only likes me. And even I don't love her like that! I see her as a best friend or an almost sister! How can you think that she will be happy?? Or I will be happy??" Abhi replies to her.

"I don't know Abhi, she loves you only, so you will have to marry her" akshu stays on her opinion only

I can't tell him, what Aaru told me. I have promised her something and I will give that to her. Sorry Abhi for hiding something from you
Thought Akshara.

Abhi sees her in disbelief. His wife is asking him, no, pleading him to marry her sister! His wife! That too the wife whome he loves a lot in this world, wants to announce their relationship to this world, wants to cherish for life long!

"Abhi, I'm here to talk to you about something important" Akshu breaks the silence.
He just nods his head for her to continue.

" I know that we got married in unforseen situations but the world won't accept it because there was no witness or anyone.."

She gets cut by Abhi,
"How can you tell there is no witness?? We are the witness, our love is the witness, Mahadev who you pray for is the witness. Hum unke mandir mein unke ashirwad se hi toh shaadi ki thi na? Tum aise nahi bolsakti!"

"Abhi listen to me without interrupting." Tells her, he again nods

"Yes we did have Mahadev as our witness that's why I accepted our marriage. That 2 weeks of our marital life away from this chaotic world was a bliss for me. I will cherish the every moment I spent with you. I can't ever forget it, I'll safely keep them with me till my last breath." She tells this, gets up and back faces him.

"And I'm glad I have something with me to remind me of you. I have gift from you to me which I'll keep with me my whole life, which I'll love to my full extent. And even give your love." She tells with tears continuously flowing from her eyes.

Abhi wasn't able to understand her. He grabs her arm and turns her towards him.

"Ye kya bolrahi ho? I'm not getting your riddles." He tells her.

Akshu removes his hand from her arm and places it on her stomach.

"Abhi I'm pregnant, with your child" she tells him. She is scared of his reaction but according to her decision, she had to do this, for her sake.

He was in shock listening to this! He was soo happy that he will become a father of a chiy with his wife! His happiness knew no bounds!

His eyes turned teary and asked akshu again to confirm what he heard was true or not. When he got his confirmation, he lifted her and twirled her in happiness.

When he put her down, the words which came out of her, shattered his happiness.

"Abhi, but I came here to inform you that I'll go away from here. I don't want to be obstacle in your and Aaru's new life. I just wanted to inform you abt this because I just couldn't keep this a secret from you" she told.

"Akshu! How can you do this?? Your my wife! Your carrying my child! You can't go away from me! You can't take this child away from me!" He feels really bad listening to her!!

"Abhi, I'm no more your wife from the day you will marry Aaru. She will be your wife. You have to start a new life. You will have a child with her and be happy. You will forget about us. So i have to go." She told.

They both had tears flowing from their eyes by now. Both were in deep pain

"Sorry Abhi, but for you and Aaru I've to stay away from you and I can't do it while I'm here, so I'm going away. Just be happy Mr. Husband. This is the last time I'm calling you that" she tells and lastly chuckles at her nickname.

They both stare into eachother's eyes. Akshu kisses him for one last time.

"I love you Abhi" she whispers and goes out.

Abhi stands there in shock. Not knowing what the hell happened now. How can his life be like this. He just agreed to marry Aarohi for his mom and because of Akshara's stubborn nature.

Abhi feels empty, and no words are coming out of him as he stares at the retrieving figure of his first love, his wife and mother of his child. And that too she is going away from him with his unborn child.

He is feeling helpless, hurt, sadness, pain anger, fear. He feels paralyzed and stuck in the same as he sees the disappearing figure of Akshra, his LOVE OF HIS LIFE away from him maybe forever.
