The younger Birlas arrive at the Birla House. Parth is parking the car when Abhimanyu recieves a call from Anand.
Hello, Abhimanyu. Where are you?
Tauji we are just outside the house. Bhaiya was parking the car.
Ok. Abhimanyu actually when we were leaving the marriage hall we received a call. 3 lifts had collapsed in a society and Birla Hospital was the nearest so all the injured people have been rushed here. Me, Harsh and Mahima came directly to the hospital. I had thought we will handle it and that's why we didn't inform you but now we think we need you for just a few patients.
It's ok Tauji. I will be there in half an hour.
Abhi, what happened? Why was Dad calling?
Bhaiya there is an emergency at the hospital and I have to go.
They get down from the car with Avni still in Abhi's arms. Abhi informs Manjari that he has to go to the hospital so she does their Aarti and Akshara's Greh Pravesh. After that Abhi takes Akshara along to their room. He places Avni on the bed.
Jaan I am so sorry that I am leaving you alone tonight.
Abhi relax it's ok. I am not alone. Avni is with me and I have married a top surgeon so I should get used to this.
No Akshu it's just this doesn't feel right.
You first go and change immediately. We will discuss this once you are back.
Abhimanyu changes and is about to leave but he turns back and kisses Akshara on the forehead murmuring a sorry.
Akshara sits down and observes his room, no, their room. She takes off her jewellery and changes into a comfortable night suit. She then goes to avni and slowly changes her clothes without waking her up. She lies down besides Avni and due to exhaustion she falls asleep hugging Avni.
At the hospital Abhimanyu performed two surgeries and was now monitoring his patients when Anand came to him.
Abhimanyu how is the situation?
Everything is under control. I am just monitoring their vitals.
I think you should head home now. It's already 4 am. I know you shouldn't be here but you also know our profession.
It's ok tauji. I understand. You don't need to tell me all this. Also I have to keep a check on their vitals.
Abhimanyu we have interns who can do that. Also me and Mahima are staying so you don't need to worry. The most important thing you have done.
Ok. As you say sir.
Abhimanyu reached home and headed straight to his room. He slowly opened the door and smiled seeing his wife and daughter cuddling and sleeping peacefully. He goes to Akshu’s side and sits down caressing her hair.
I am so sorry jaan. It was supposed to be special today and I had to leave you alone. I am so sorry but I promise that I will make it upto you.
He heads to the closet, changes and lies down besides Avni placing his arm protectively over both his girls. He kisses Avni's forehead and sleeps.
Next morning Akshara wakes up and she tries to turn around to check the time but is unable to. She looks down and sees two arms have caged her. She turns around and sees both Abhi and Avni have held her protectively as though she would vanish. She slowly takes Abhi's arm and puts it around Avni. She then releases herself from Avni's hold and goes to freshen up. She goes downstairs and greets Manjari who is in the kitchen.
Good Morning Akshara. Why are you up so early?
Maa I thought it's my first day, so I will make something for everyone.
There is no need to do all this Akshara. Bhabhi, bhaisaab and Harsh ji don't eat anything apart from fruits and tea but you can make something for my Abhi.
Ok. As you say maa.
Mahima comes from the hospital and spots Manjari and Akshara working in the kitchen. He smiles to herself celebrating her victory that Akshara is just like her mother in law.
After sometime Avni wakes up but she doesn't spot Akshara in the room. She slowly opens the door and peeks outside to spot Shefali in the corridor. She moves out of the room.
Good morning TJ.
Good morning Avni.
TJ do you know where mamma is?
Yes. She is in the kitchen.
Hearing this Avni runs downstairs while Shefali gets happy seeing her move around without Abhi for the first time. Avni reaches the kitchen and rushes to her mother.
Good morning Mamma. Good morning Dadi. (Manjari doesn't repsond)
Good morning sweetheart. When did you wake up? (Picking her up and placing her on the counter).
Just now.
Is papa also awake?
No he is sleeping.
Avni and Akshu talk while Akshara works around the kitchen. After sometime Abhi wakes up and panics on not seeing Avni on the bed. He checks the washroom but it's empty. He rushes downstairs and sees Neil on the breakfast table but he is alone.
Neil, where is Avni? I thought she is with you. She is not in the room. You know she never leaves the room without me.
Bro, calm down. Relax. You forgot she has a mother now and they are both in the kitchen.
Abhi heaves a sigh of relief and moves towards the kitchen. He leans on the door and looks at them chatting but mostly its Avni who is telling Akshu her stories.
Mamma what did you make?
Your and papa's favorite. Guess.
Ummmm... Aloo Paratha.
Yes.
Yummy. Wow.
Mamma can I have curd with it? (whispering)
Ofcourse. Anything that my baby wants.
Maa do we have curd in the fridge?
Yes but that's for Harsh Ji. He eats it for dinner and Avni's face falls
Abhi clenches his fists and barges into the kitchen. Before he could say anything Akshara spots him.
Avni see papa is here. Now you both go and freshen up. I will bring milk for you.
Ok mamma.
Akshara hands over Avni to Abhi and signals him not to react. Abhi goes upstairs and Avni goes to the washroom. Akshara comes with a glass of milk and places it on the table. She sees her husband burning in anger. She moves towards him and sits in his lap while encircling her arms around his neck.
Why did you stop me?
Calm down, kissing him on the forehead. It's not necessary to react in a negative manner always. Sometimes things should be handled logically.
What do you mean?
You freshen up. You will get to know.
Akshara is about to get up but Abhi holds her tight and places his lips on her. She too reciprocates and they kiss each other passionately both showing how much they missed each other. Just then Avni comes out of the washroom and Akshara stands up.
Avni finish this and come down with papa.
Ok mamma.
P.S. what do you think Akshara has done?
