The Life Of Abhira - Short Stories

Fell For The Innocent - 8

Akshara sat under the shower, hugging herself. Her whole body was trembling due the cold water which was pouring down her body.

Abhimanyu quickly went towards her and closed the tap, wrapping a towel around her, he carried Akshara in his arms towards their room.

"Abh.. Abhimanyu.. I.. I shouldn't have spoken in that way to Aaru.. I.. I don't know mujhe kya hogya tha.. I messed it up Abhimanyu." Akshara told. She was tightly pressed into his chest while his arms were wrapped around her.

"Akshu calm down baby. You are in stress aur stress mai yeh sab hojata hai. Please calm down. Dekho already tumhari tabiyat kharab hai and aise aur hojayegi. Calm down please." Abhimanyu whispered in her ears and rubbed her back calming down a bit.

When they broke the hug, Abhimanyu saw Akshara who was starring at him,and her brown eyes glistening. He sighed and cupped her face. Kneeling on the ground he spoke,

"I know Akshara ke you've gone through a lot. Par baar baar apne aap ko hurt karne se kuch nahi hoga. You've to take care of yourself. You've to be alright, if not for yourself then for the people who are around you. I know Akshara, we had started in a very bad way, but pleased let me take care of you. Let me help you. Mai tumhare bhaiya ko yaha nahi la sakta but I promise I'll make everything alright in your life. Trust me ok?" He looked at her. Akshara sighed and just nodded her head.

Later Abhimanyu handed Akshara a fresh pair of clothing which she gladly accepted and changed herself into. During the time of dinner, Abhira did not go down stairs as Akshara was feeling very weak. So Manjiri had sent their food to their room itself. After having the food and taking the medicines Akshara laid on the bed starring at the ceiling.
Abhimanyu was in the washroom getting changed.

Akshara's Pov:

"Aaj mene Aaru ko jo kuch bhi bola woh nahi bolna chahiye tha. Usne humesha mujhe ek sagi behen se bhi zayada pyaar diya hai and in return I blamed her for things which she never did. Tomorrow morning the first work I've to do is go and apologize Aaru. Uska alawa mera koi hai nahi aab iss duniya mai."

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard the sound of shower and my thoughts went into Abhimanyu.

"Abhimanyu ne mera bohot khayal rakha. He might also be tired but he was with me during my whole break down. I had seen a completely new side of Abhimanyu today. The way he is taking care of me, the way he is treating me is completely different and I'm happy about that. But I know as soon as we go back he will go back to Lucy, his love. I sometimes envy her. She is just the best and got the best. I wish Abhimanyu could give me chance. I really want me and Abhimanyu to have a fresh start but it's not possible because he can never be mine. I can not let myself get hurt anymore" I sighed mentally and made a note that I'll never let Abhimanyu come into my life. It's just 6 months then everything will be sorted out.

Abhimanyu came out of the washroom only in his sweat pants. Akshara's eyes widened seeing his proper built muscles and her throat immediately went dry. She did not realise when Abhimanyu came and stood in front of her.

He faked a cough to gain her attention and it was then when Akshara noticed how close he was standing to her with a smirk on his face. Ya ya that stupid 'The Abhimanyu Birla Smirk' which irks Akshara a lot and she wishes to slap it way. But she being the innocent one cannot do that.

"Take a pi.. " Akshara did not let Aabhi complete his sentence and spoke,

"Haan now you'll say that, 'take a picture it lasts longer'. But let me tell you Mr. Birla you are not someone special jiski mai picture le loon. I've seen better." She scoffed and crossed her hand infront of her chest and turned her face to the opposite direction. Suddenly she heard Abhimanyu laughing out.

"Yeh banda hasta bhi hai. I din't knew." She thought.

"Se.. Seriously Akshara?" He spoke between his laugh. Akshara gave him a confused look and he continued, "I was saying ke take the pill which is kept on the table. Vitamin ke goli and you need it very much. I forgot to give you after dinner." Akshara's face reddened due to embarrassment and she shut her eyes tightly.

"Yeh lo." Abhimanyu handed her the meds and she immediately gulped it down with water without even looking at his face.

After taking the medicines she immediately covered herself with the duvet and turned to the opposite direction. After a while, she felt Abhimanyu lying beside her and suddenly she felt his hot breathe on her neck as he spoke huskily in her ears.

"I did not knew that you wanted to have a picture of me naked to change your screen saver but I liked that photo of mine which was on your screen saver the other day. " Saving this he went back to his side. Akshara's heart started beating out loud due to Abhimanyu's closeness.

"Calm down Akshara. I can hear your heart beating wildly. Also, I like the fierce Akshara but shy Akshara is my favorite. Good night tamaatar." He said and closed his eyes.

Akshara gulped down loudly and shook her head waiting for the sleep to consume her.

Akshara was climbing down the stairs when she suddenly bumped into Neil on the way.

"I.. I'm sorry Neil."

"Arey bhabhi I'm fine. Aapki tabiyat kaise hai? Kahi jaa rahe ho? Drop chahiye?"

"Abhi theek hoon Neil. Mai ghar jaa rahi thi. Yesterday I've said something to Aaru which I shouldn't have said isliye I'm going to meet her and dont worry mai drive kar lungi."

"I.. You...I mean you are still weak so mai drop kar deta hoon."

"Arey nahi Neil. I'll manage." She said and left from the there.

Akshara sat in her room in the Goenka Mansion with a letter in her hand. This time there were no tears in her eyes, just a sad smile plastered on her lips. So, today Akshara even lost her sister.

"No one wants to be with me anymore. Of course I'm a loser after all." She thought.

After some time, she stood up, looked around for one last time and left the room after closing the doors.

While leaving the house she spotted her family looking at her but without minding them she left the Goenka Mansion.

It was late in the evening by the time Akshara reached home. She found Abhimanyu near the entrance waiting for her. As soon as he spotted her, he came running towards her.

"Akshu.. Where were you? I was so worried about you. Bade papa told you left the home long ago."

"I needed some time alone Abhimanyu." She said. Abhimanyu looked at her keenly and then asked.

"Is everything alright Akshara? Did you speak to Aarohi?"

"She left" Akshara replied.

"Left? Left where?" Abhimanyu asked her shockingly. "Accha look you relax, we will try to figure out something." Akshara shook her head and said,

"She doesn't want to be found Abhimanyu. I know where she is. And I know she is safe over there." She said and left leaving behind a confused Abhimanyu.
