Set after today's precap, essentially how I would want the confrontation to go

"Hoon main bhuri, hoon main galat, hoon main manhoos.
I an the reason why Neil is dead, why Sirat Maa is dead, I killed my own child - I have ruined all of your lives infact meri Udaipur lautna hi galat tha.
Akshara Akshara Akshara ! Sab Akshara ki galti hai !" Akshara screamed, she felt the familiar pain and anger blind her.

"I have made a lot of mistakes, but the one thing I did right is Abhir. He's Mine - I carried him inside me, I ripped myself open giving birth to him, I raised him - He's mine !
6 years back, I did try to give you your right, but your refused to listen- now 6 years later tum baap banne aayo ho ?

When you never gave me the right to grieve as a mother, why should I fight for your right as a father? Hoti kaun main ?

You divorced me, refused my calls and never even once turned back and looked for me.

Where were you when Abhir was premature and in the incubator ? When he had his first fever ? When he went to school for the first time?

I am not answerable to you Abhimanyu, not anymore - if you lost the last 6 years of Abhir's life - that's on you and your actions.
And I will not let you snatch him away from me.
The only person I'm accountable to is Abhir, my son."

Abhimanyu stumbled back, his eyes tearing up. What had he done - he was a monster in her eyes. She thought he would snatch their son away from her.
His Akshu was gone, his Akshu who's eyes brimmed with kindness and love, who burned herself, if it meant giving others warmth. His Akshu who's capacity to love and forgive used to astound him, her compassion overflowing from her. He had done this to her, his words and cruel actions had turned her into a bitter, vengeful, self loathing person, a mere shell of who she was.

He who had promised to fight the world for her, he who had promised to protect her even from herself.
He who had been the person to set her free from the shackles of guilt only to push her into an even bigger abyss.

He took a deep breath, "You are right, I know you don't want my apology but I am sorry Akshara, I'm sorry for everything. You needed me, and I wasn't there for you, I had once fought to free you from the shackles of guilt you were under, only to push you into an even bigger pit. My actions towards you that day can never be justified and are not even worthy of forgiveness.
But Akshara, like you said, you are answerable to Abhir. Are you not wronging him? Are you not snatching his identify away ? You of all people would know what it feels like, to be told that your childhood had been a facade, that your birth parent was someone else. You once told me you felt betrayed, like a piece of you had been kept away - Are you not doing the same thing to Abhir ?

I don't want to snatch Abhir away from you Akshara, that is never going to be my intention, but I will also not let my son believe that I abandoned him, that I didn't fight for him."

A/N - something I scribbled quickly cause I was so done with the show.
Why does every conversation have to be about Abhinav ? What about Akshara the mother?
Show me an Akshu who is bitter, who has accepted all the blames because she was that kind of person , who is broken and angry - I'll take it, her actions can be wrong but make it about her. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
