✅ ABHIRA (6-year leap)

OS - 1.10

AK - Abhi....please stop. You are bleeding so badly. Please stop torturing yourself.

Abhimanyu kept punching the tree hard, he was hurting so badly. But it wasn't because of the punches he kept throwing, but because of how much pain his heart felt. He couldn't even comprehend what was he more upset about. The truth behind 6 years, his brother's unjust death, him losing the battle to his anger and destroying the most sacred relationship he had, or the fact that Akshu and Abhir had to face so much in such a short time of their life.

Akshara quickly hugged him from the back trying to comfort his haywire emotions, she was afraid that he might do something terrible in his self-blame. 

Feeling his shirt being wet slightly, Abhimanyu stopped and turned around, just to find her crying profusely. He quickly hugged her and they both kept sobbing trying to finally let out all the pain, sorrow and tears they had accumulated for the past six years. 

After what felt like an eternity, their eyes went dry and both calmed down.

AK - Abhi, hurting yourself is not gonna make things right. The past cannot be changed and wallowing in it will only make us more miserable. We need to forgive ourselves and move on toward a better future, but this time criminals will get their due punishment and not be left unscathed like all those years ago. 

ABHI - Akshu, come on let's go back to Goenka's, and let's call the Birlas and the police on the way, I will not leave that bastard alone. How dare he, and...and that Arohi, how could she even do this, How did she lose her conscience in her greed, and let her family through hell. She didn't even think about Ruhi......Ruhi......Akshu, Ruhi..

Abhimanyu starts breathing a little heavily and Akshara quickly helps him sit on the bench. She was at a loss for words, how come she didn't notice it all this time? She curses herself for all those times she might have indirectly triggered his anxiety. 

She takes his hand in hers and lets him follow the breathing technique, while all she wanted to do was hug him tightly and sing again to calm his nerves but something was stopping her, blocking her from opening up completely. 

She was afraid to take that final step toward him, but couldn't point out why though? He had sincerely apologized, they knew the real truth behind the accident now but still what was stopping her?

ABHI - Akshu........Akshu, what about Ruhi? How are we gonna handle her, she loves her Matashree very much, she already doesn't have a father and now she might even lose her mother. How are we gonna tell her something so depressing and handle the situation?

AK - Abhi, please...please calm down. I know this is gonna be the hardest part, but we have to do the right thing, especially for Ruhi. I do not want that cute bundle of joy, her pure soul to be traumatized for life because of her selfish mother, just like her poppy still is. It will hurt her now, but she will understand someday and who says she doesn't have a father, you are her poppy, her father, and I, her Masi, ma-si as in like a mother. We both need to be strong and give her the assurance and all the love in the world which she rightfully deserves.

Abhimanyu calms down and nods in agreement, while his lips were slightly curved upwards.

AK - Abhi, now that you know the truth, I still have to tell you some things. I have reopened the accident case with the help of this recording, but it's still not enough to just use this as evidence to punish them. The police needed to do a thorough investigation and find more solid pieces of evidence. I got a message from the police before we came here, about the latest update on the case. They have found the goon that had threatened Abhinav for money, and he has confessed everything. The Police has found those NGO girls and one girl had even seen Abhinav at the location that day, even the other goons were also arrested solidifying our case even more. Now they just need to find the transaction details and communication details so that Arohi could be confirmed as an accomplice. I even asked them to look more into her past crimes, she needs to pay for each and every misdeed she did.
