As soon as she opened the door of the terrace, the scene in front shook her. She felt the ground beneath her slipping away.

She saw Abhimanyu hugging Riya, the same Riya who was the reason of their separation. She started moving backward and the vase which was kept nearby fell making Riya and Abhimanyu turn.

Abhimanyu saw Akshara standing there and the tears were rolling down her eyes. He understood that Akshara has seen him and Riya together. He started moving towards her only to be stopped by her loud voice.

"Don't. Don't you dare come close to me Dr. Abhimanyu Birla. Ek baar nahi, do baar nahi par baar baar tumhe mera dil toda hai. I hate you. I. HATE. YOU." She shouted and ran from there leaving Abhimaan shaken.

"Abhimanyu go speak to her" Riya told. Without even glancing at Riya once, he ran down stairs, towards her room.

As soon as Abhimanyu entered her room, he found Akshara packing her bags.

"Akshara, what are you doing? Yeh packing... Why?" He asked but Akshara did not pay any attention to him and continued packing her bag. He kept on asking but Akshara ignored him royally.

Abhimanu lost his temper and pulled Akshara towards him which resulted her to directly land on his chest.

"Akshu answer me.. Where are you going at this hour?" He asked

"Why does it matter to you Dr. Birla? And please call me Akshara" She said wriggling in his grip.

"Stop moving. You are not going to go out anywhere Akshara" He told sternly.

"And who are you to decide this? Don't forget that you are no one to me. No one. Now please go. Go to your Riya. Just Go" She shouted and pushed him.

"Akshu" He cried.

"Don't. Mera naam apne muh se nikal ke kharab mat karo. You know it was never us. Tum uss Riya se pyaar karte the aur abhi bhi karte ho. You are just using me Dr. Abhimanyu Birla. " She snapped him.

Abhimanyu looked at her shocked. Everything was good a moment ago. Now what has gone wrong. He looked at her moving too and fro grabbing the clothes and placing them in her bag.

His heart started beating aloud. It scared him that Akshara is going away. Once again. No, he cannot loose her again.

"Akshara" He called but she paid no attention to him and continued with her packing.

"Akshara, you don't want to see my right? Fine. I'll leave but please don't go anywhere." He pleaded.

He started taking his steps backward. He was about to leave the room but turned towards her and spoke,

"Kabhi kabhi aakhon dekhi baat sach nahi hoti hai Dr. Akshara Goenka. It was, it is and it will always be us. Good bye" He told and left from there.

Akshara slumped down on the floor, leaning to her. Covering her face with her palms she cried aloud.

After 15min, she was lying on the floor when she someone knocked her door.

"Akshara" She heard a voice.

Shefali and Parth's anniversary party was going full on. No one noticed Abhimanyu leaving the home until he bumped into Neil.
