Abhira FF: I can't take it anymore

Part 2

Abhimanyu was pacing left and right in his room; feeling all restless, almost kind of sick. He can't comprehend anything that is happening right now. His mind is running over every single thing that has happened ever since the accident. He can't get out of the image of Akshara crying and begging him to listen to her.

"Aaarghhhhhhhhh!", he shouted.

He felt so frustrated from within and he is not feeling too good as well as though something bad has happened. He knows that it has something to do with Akshu, no Akshara. He can feel a surge of anger coursing through his vein remembering what she did. Hiding the truth of her pyaari sister "Aaru" who doesn't deserve an ounce of her love and care and most importantly leaving his mother to die after hitting her. It doesn't matter who was hit by their car; it is still wrong. She didn't get down to check if they hit anyone just because her sister said so. If Aarohi thinks that she can put all the blame on Akshara and sneak away without being punished, she had another thing coming her way. He was going to destroy the very same thing she loves more than anything in this world; her career.

As Abhi was mentally making plans on making Aarohi regret her very existence, Neil burst into his room without knocking.

Abhi: Neil, I am not in a mood to talk! Just leave me alone for tonight.

Neil: Bhai, I will leave but after asking you one question.

Abhi looked at Neil to let him know to continue what he was going to say.

Neil: Why didn't you allow Bhabhi to explain herself?

Abhi looked at Neil as though he has grown two horns on his head.

Abhi: Neil, are you fucking serious right now? You heard her yourself. They actually hit maa and left her there without bothering to check. Do you really think I want to hear anything from her or that manipulative sister of hers?! I don't even want to say her name out loud. I feel like straggling her with my bare hands every time I think about that selfish and shameless girl. I have heard enough to know what is the truth and you want to know what is it? Akshara is an accomplice in the attempt murder of my maa. That's it.

Neil stared at his bhai intensely for a moment before continuing, "Don't you think you should have at least let her explain herself and allow her to narrate what actually happened on that day and why were they even involved in an accident in the first place? Don't you think that you owe Bhabhi that much to allow her to speak before jumping into any conclusion? Yes, they hit maa and they didn't check. But what exactly happened? Are you really going to believe half cooked stories and accusation thrown by Harsh uncle and taiji against Bhabhi? Are you not going to ask her yourself what actually happened? Did you even hear her out when she was yelling in Goenka's mansion asking everyone to believe her words and what she was saying? Did you?" asked Neil very calmly without provoking his brother's world famous anger.

Abhimanyu just stood still with no answer and looked at Neil feeling a little weird after being questioned by his baby brother.

Abhi: "I urm... she told in front of all... she accepted," he mumbled out spacing out thinking about the scene that happened today at her house.

Neil: "what are you mumbling bhai? Answer me, c'mon! Tell me that you heard what she wanted to tell you? Did you? No, you didn't. As usual you allowed your anger to get the worst out of you. Did you even realize how miserable she looked in the midst of the crowd spewing hatred left and right and no one to support her and allow her to speak?" slowly voicing out his thoughts on what happened today. He felt extremely bad for his Bhabhi as he knows that she is never the type who is selfish and would flee from an accident spot.

Abhi recalled how she looked earlier that day. She was standing all alone, crying her heart out, begging for someone to hear her out. Her face was swollen from crying too much (the confrontation does happen alone and he took her to Goenka mansion and dropped the bomb there with everyone present). She looked extremely tired and weak.

Warning alarm were blaring in his head, is she okay? What if something has happened to her? She didn't look too steady either as she was swaying slightly while trying to explain what happened. Shitttt! His heart was now beating too fast thinking if anything bad has happened to her especially after the message that he just sent before Neil barged into the room. He sent it in a spite to hurt her and to let her feel the pain that he was going through at the moment. THE MESSAGE! FUCK.

Was I really going to break my relationship with Akshara?

Can I live without her?

Will I be able to move on?

What will happen now?

Did she saw my message?

Will she walk out of the wedding now?

Did I do a mistake by not letting her explain?

What if I misunderstood Akshara?

He started remembering bits and pieces of sentences that she was trying to tell her before he roughly shoved her in the jungle earlier that day.

Aaru took some pills...she wasn't in the right state of mind. She drove off from the hospital and I ran after the car and got in.

You are my everything Abhi. Call me Akshu please. Not Akshara. I am not lying Abhi, I told you the truth. In the hospital...I told you. JHOOT MAT BOLO AKSHARA.

He could hear everything so clearly out of sudden. Her pleas to not leave her stranded, to not give up on their love, to not walk away without hearing her. He could hear himself shouting her, shoving her and most importantly not listening to her.

He started recalling what happened in the hospital. He remembers walking out of the ward room for an emergency case and meeting Akshara when he got out of the OT. She looked all disturbed and her nose was red as though she was crying.

Did she actually tell to truth?

But to whom? It was not me.

Was there everyone else other than me?

Realization dawned upon him.

Abhi looked at Neil and Neil understood his bhai; immediately grabbed the car keys as they started running out of the room. Abhi was praying to his Mahadev for all these to be a bad nightmare and hoping that Akshu haven't seen her phone. But it was too late.

In Sunway Hospital

Doctor Sanam: I don't want to lie to you. She is under so much stress. She also has a small concussion that was left untreated on the left side of her forehead. Did she hit or got into any accident recently? She is also unable to breathe on her own so she is put on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for now. Her panic attack has put her in fight-or-flight response and her body has chosen to shut down. She can wake up anytime. It happens to many patience with the history of panic attack. Don't lose hope. Pray hard.

Kairav slumped on the hospital chair with tears running down with no means to stop. What is he going to answer his mother and father now? His baby sister, his bacha, his Akshu was his responsibility. He started crying more thinking about all the pain she had to go through all these whiles. He felt like a failure.

Sneak peak for Part 3:

AG, Mimi and Swarna are shocked to see Abhi all distraught and worried shouting for someone whom he did not even spare a glance just now.

"Where is she, Mimi?" trembled Abhi, Neil holding Abhi by his shoulders just in case he collapses.

Mimi started crying and Abhi's heart crunched thinking the worse and was praying hard for it to be not true.

She was in the room and suddenly we heard Kairav scream, Akshu and we saw him carrying her downstairs. She lost conscious after a terrible panic attack. We couldn't control it so they took her to the hospital, told Mimi to a dangerously silent Abhimanyu. 

All Abhi could hear was hospital, panic attack, couldn't control. She saw the message and she got a panic attack because of it. He felt the world slipping beneath his feet at that moment as a single tear dropped from his eyes.
