*Based on the scene where Dr. Kunal asks Akshara to sacrifice her voice in return of the surgery. So this the sane version of that scene, that SHOULD have happened if the makers had let Akshara behave just a bit sensibly 🤦🏼♀️*
*Also, the whole Kairav and Anisha wedding fiasco and the pointless after drama didn't happen here. After Akshu's birthday, the preparations for surgery started.*

“Are you out of your mind ? Do you even realize what are you asking of me ?” - Akshara exclaimed, looking at Dr. Kunal with disgust.
“You just said that you can do anything for your husband. Can't you sacrifice just your voice ? Think Akshara, his hand will be okay again. He'll be able to perform surgeries and save so many lives. It all depends on just a ‘yes’ from you.” - he said, trying to manipulate her as he had observed her demeanor. As a doctor, he could tell that she was emotional and easily manipulated. He just needed to play his cards right and he was sure she'd agree.
Akshara went into thinking mode.
She had never faced such a situation in her life before. On one side, was Abhi's hand. For which, she had prayed day and night. Had put all her efforts on. Just wanting to have it good as new. She had seen his depression over it. His pain at not being able to perform surgeries.
But, on the other hand, it was not her voice that was at stake. If it had been just about her voice, she would have said yes in a heartbeat.
The thing that was at stake was Abhi's happiness.
She knew, if she left him, he won't be able to live. Because if she had seen his pain and depression over his hand, she had also witnessed the soul shattering hurt in his eyes when she was denying her love for him. She had seen him slowly dying right infront of her eyes each passing day when she stepped back, sacrificing her love and his feelings.
And wasn't it what she had been doing all along ?
It was in that moment, when she realized. Ever since they had met, she was SOLELY taking decisions for the both of them.
It was her, who decided to step back and ignore his feelings, just because her sister loved him! It was her, who decided to ignore his request to not work in the same hospital because it hurts him but she still did! It was her who UNINTENTIONALLY, made him feel her 2nd priority by not choosing him in an instant! It was her who arranged an anniversary party for his parents EVEN when he had asked her not to and she hadn't even consulted him! The list just went on and on!
And in all of the things, point was only one :
When it was THEIR life together, when every decision was going to affect them BOTH, then why was she making it solely all along ? Why was she NOT consulting him that whatever she's deciding FOR HIM, did he even want that ?
What was the point of their marriage vows, when she was not letting them decide anything MUTUALLY like a husband and wife normally do ?!
“Akshara, we don't have time. Abhimanyu must have been given anesthesia by now.” - Dr. Kunal said, taking her thinking mode as a way of her breaking point.
This brought her out of her thoughts and she wiped her tears, that had fell at the realization of her mistakes.
“You are right. We don't have time.” - she said, looking at him. Her tone as strong as steel.
Saying this, she rushed towards the car and quickly getting seated, drove off. Dialing Neil's number on the way, she put it on speaker while focusing on the road ahead.
“Bhabhi-”
“Neil listen to me carefully. I don't have time to explain but stop Abhi from being unconscious. I'm on my way, I'll tell everyone everything later but just do it NOW!”
