Its morning. Abhi and Akshu had spent the whole night in his cabin while Abhi was telling her everything. Akshu and Abhi both are crying. Akshu stands up and goes towards Abhi who is sitting on the chair and stands in front of him. Abhi couldn't control anymore and hugs her by the waist and cries his heart out. She rubs his back to calm him down.
I am sorry Abhi. I am so sorry. Because of me you stayed away from your work. The work which has been your everything. I am so sorry that I made you suffer. I can't return these 6 years to you but please forgive me. I know my one statement changed your entire life but I was bound by Sirat mamma's promise. I am so sorry.
They separate and Akshara wipes his tears. He leans back on the chair while she is standing in front of him holding his hands.
Akshu I still don't know what made me take this decision of bringing Avni in my life. I don't regret it. It's the best decision of my life but I don't know why. I fell this strange pull towards her. The words her mother told me about saving her kept ringing in my mind and in a split second I took this decision. As for writing your name as her mother. I had only two options either I leave it blank or I write your name and if I would have left it blank they wouldn't have let met adopt Avni without a mother so I had to write your name because for me when father's name is Abhimanyu Birla then mother's name can't be anything other than Akshara Goenka.
Before Akshara could respond Avni runs into the cabin.
Papaaaa (climbing into his lap). Jaan you are here. I was afraid that you would have left again. I was so worried. I came running.
No baby I am here only.
Papa do you remember what is it today?
Yes it's Sunday.
No papa, it's my parent teacher meet today and Jaan I am so happy today all three of us will go else papa used to go alone.
Avni, she just traveled a lot. See she is tired. We will take her along in the next meet. Abhi thinks I don't want to make you uncomfortable Akhsu with all this burden of mine. I am so confused what I should call you. I had never imagined to have this awkwardness with you of all other people.
Papa what she. Call her Jaan like you always do. Right Jaan. Also papa can you ask someone to bring my clothes. I don't want to be late.
Akshara doesn't respond and looks down while Rohan comes to take her.
Sir, Avni is for the first time so excited for the meet. Else she is always sulking on this day and leaves with Avni.
Wait Ro.
Avni goes and brings both Abhi and Akshu near the couch and herselves stands on the coffee table with Abhi and Akshu standing behind her.
Avni what are you doing?
Papa please give me your phone.
Here Ro, click our picture please.
Bye. And Rohan leaves with Avni.
Akshu you don't need to feel burdened. I will make Avni understand. I have done this so I will handle it. You don't have to worry at all. You have your life to go back to. (Wiping his tears).
Before Akshara could reply she sees her phone ringing.
Akshu where are you? I have been calling you since yesterday. We were so worried.
Bhaiya I was at the hospital and my phone was on silent so I didn't see your call. I was with Mimi.
Ok. When will you come home?
Bhaiya I have some work. I will let you know when I will be free. Bye.
Abhi what time are we supposed to leave?
Akshu you don't have to do this if you don't want to.
Abhi time.
We will leave in an hour.
Ok then let's have our breakfast. I will change and come. You bring Avni to the canteen.
Ok.
Abhi goes to Avni.
Avni, see jaan is coming with us but please don't bother her too much. Please. Aren't you a good girl?
Ok Abhi.(kissing his cheek)
Avniiiii
Ok papa.
They reach the canteen and Akshara is sitting on a table waiting for them. Avni sits on a chair and Abhi goes to get breakfast but Akshara tells him that she has already placed the order. After sometime Abhi collects their order from the counter.
Wow Jaan, this is my favorite. Thankyou (side hugging her)
They have their breakfast and leave for the school. After the meet Avni tells all her friends about Akshara and both Abhi and Akshu smile seeing her so happy.
Avni come let's go now. Jaan is waiting in the car.
Papa will Jaan again go back. I promise I didn't bother her. Did I?
No my princess you didn't and they reach the car.
What took you so long?
Nothing jaan. We were talking.
Ok.
Akshu where should I drop you? Home.
No. When will you discharge Mimi? I had come only for her and I hadn't planned to stay for more than two days.
She will be discharged today.(in a choked voice)
Jaan are you going to leave us alone again. I promise I will never call him Abhi ever again. I will always call him Papa but please don't go.
You call your papa Abhi?
Sometimes, though he doesn't like it. He always says you call him that.
Both Abhi and Akhsu share an eyelock which is broken by horns from behind. Abhi starts driving again.
Papa can we please go to AAG. We haven't been there since so many days. Please. Jaan will also see it and I know she will like it.
What's AAG sweetheart?
Just wait jaan.
Avni, she needs to go home. She was in the hospital entire night. She needs to rest as well. We will go some other time.
No papa, today is Sunday. I have a holiday. You are also free. Please please. Jaan you tell him na.
Abhi if she is insisting, I can go. I am fine. Don't worry about me.
See now Jaan also said. Please na papa.
He turns around and they reach a place. Akshara gets down and brings Avni with her. Avni is all happy happy with her parents.
What place is this Abhi?
Jaan let's go inside first.
They enter the lift and reach the top floor. Avni leaves the lift first so Abhi runs behind her fearing she might fall down. He catches Avni and looks back to check on Akshara but is shocked.
A/N I have a question do you want me to exaggerate Abhimanyu and Akshara's confrontation or should I start with their life ahead. Personally I want to go ahead.
