Trust me when I say I used to feel so guilty every time there was a new vote or a comment on this book🥺

Apologies for the late and not giving the promised updates! Got busy with assignments, family, Dussehra festivities, health issues, got lazy, lost inspiration after the not so pleasant episodes and whatever I managed to write in the middle of wedding shopping 🥲

Anyways, I will definitely try for a double update as compensation, no promises though!

Warning: Super emotional chapter ahead 🤧

************

Abhimanyu had seen numerous families in his hospital's waiting room just waiting for their loved ones to wake up from the effect of anesthesia but now being on the other end, he could truly feel and relate with their plight.

He was just sitting next to his Akshu's bed with red eyes, holding her hand, sniffing and letting all the emotions that he had bottled up, to come hitting him right now. No one would understand how miserable he felt right in that moment.

He had felt it today. He had felt how close he was to losing his sab kuchh and the feeling had as if awakened him from a deep sleep and brought him out of the deep pit of grief and anger.

He had realised he was nothing without his Akshu because she was the essence of his being and the reason for his survival. Even thinking about a mishap happening to her, ripped his heart out.

He felt like a fool for letting his guilt and impulsiveness hurt that pure innocent soul aka his wife. The wife who had done everything just for him but he had been an idiot to disregard everything else and focus on his anger and pain.

The tears he had held back from the moment he had come across her after one year, came flowing down, wetting his cheeks and washing out all his anger, guilt, pain and fear.

He had kept sobbing and had finally dozed off only to feel someone trying to separate themselves from his hand. He hurriedly looked up to see that Akshara had woken up from the effect of the anesthesia and was trying to remove her hand from his hold.

——————————

Akshara had felt the heaviness in her head, her entire body. She had felt so sore that even opening her eyes was a huge task. She had tried opening her eyes only to screw them shut at the glaring light that was seemingly right on top of her head. She then took a deep breath to calm down even though it was another painful effort and gather her bearings.

She lay still, recalling the accident, the phone call and the events leading up to the accident. She kept hearing the beeping of the heart rate monitor attached to her and it was annoying her now. She tried to press the call button for a nurse only to realise a heavy hand that had held her hand firmly. She was so familiar with the touch and the butterflies that it brought with it that she couldn't mistake it for any one else other than her Abhimanyu.

All of a sudden, she was reminded of the divorce papers he had sent her and hot red anger boiled her blood and she tried snatching away her hand from his hold. Keyword here being tried, because the more she struggled to move her hand, the more Abhimanyu tightened his hold and frowned in his sleep.

Ultimately, she almost jerked his hand to get away when Abhimanyu had woken up and his red rimmed eyes had made contact with her pained, furious and equally red eyes.

"Akshu! You're awake! How do you feel? Is the pain too much? I know it must hurt a lot, wait let me just give you some painkillers."

"Akshara."

"Huh?"

"Akshara naam hai mera. Akshu sirf meri 'family' bulati hai mujhe, Dr. Abhimanyu Birla and aapne wo papers bhej ke apne aap ko meri family kehlaane ka haq kho diya."

Abhimanyu flinched and squeezed his eyes shut at the hurt in her voice and her painful words. He clenched his fists to control himself from bursting into tears right then and there at his foolishness.

"Mujhse kaha tha naa aapne, Dr. Abhimanyu Birla? Dafa ho jaane ko? Ab MAIN kehti ho tumse dafa ho jaao meri nazron se, mujhe apni shakal kabhi mt dikhaana, tumhaari aur tumhari ghatiya manipulative family ki wajah se aaj mere Kairav bhaiya innocent hone ke baad bhi jail mein hain, suffer kr rhe hain, mere Bade papa police custody mein hain, kuchh nhi krne ke baad bhi! SB TUMHARI WAJAH SE! Tumhari wajah se, tumhari khushi ke liye, tumhaare haath ke liye ek saal tk main sbse door, sbse chhup kr rhi... Aur tumne kya kiya? Mere uss sacrifice ko selfish keh diya? Mere intentions pr doubt kiya? Sb ke saamne beizzat kr diya mere jaane ki wajah ko? Ab tumhare saath zindagi bitaana toh kya, main ab tumhari shakal bhi nhi dekhna chahti! Nikal jaao yahan se Abhimanyu!"
(A/N: Does this dialogue look familiar, BingBingBoo04 ? 😂)

With this, she turns her face to hide her tears from him. No matter what he ever did or said to her, it would never change the fact, he was the only one to love her unconditionally with the only condition that he, be her first priority every time and she knew she had failed too many times in giving him the security that he was all that mattered to her which had resulted in his trauma.

"Akshu... I mean Akshara, mujhe pata hai maine tumhe bahot dard, bahot taqleef di hai, iske liye main tumse jitni maafi maang lu, wo kam hi hai. Main zindagi bhar tumse maafi maangne ko taiyaar hoon, roz tumhari sazayein bardaasht kr lunga... Lekin please aise meri zindagi mt lo mujhse... Please Akshara... Ek saal kaise zinda laash ki tarah guzaari hai maine, ye sirf mujhe pata hai... Ab main tumhe khud se door jaane dene ka soch bhi nhi skta. Akshara, tumhaare aage haath jodta hoon, please mujhe maaf kr do... Please aise khud se door jaane ko mt kaho, main iss baar sach mein mar jaaoonga, Akshu."

"Tumne mujhse pyaar kiya hai naa Abhimanyu? Sirf hmaare pyaar ke liye, sirf ek aakhiri baar meri request maan lo... Please get out, Dr. Birla. I promise, iske baad main aapke paas kabhi kuchh maangne nhi aaoongi."

Abhimanyu could barely hold himself together by this point. The tears that he had tried so hard to hold on to, in front of Akshara, had finally escaped and were flowing down freely now. He had taken a deep breath, had simply given her a pained smile, got up from his place and turned to go out when he heard her.

"Abhimanyu?"
