A/N - Conversations I would have loved to have seen between Abhi and Akshu 

"Do you regret it ? Do you regret us ?" Abhi asked as they sat in the garden.

Akshara took a deep breath and then smiled sadly, "No, I don't, I-" she cleared her throat, looking up at the sky "I could never, despite everything that happened that day, you were the love of my life, and the happiest moments in my life were the ones I shared with you, and most of all - you gave me Abhir, my son, my little protector "

***

"W-why didn't you come back?"
Abhimanyu 's voice was hoarse, his eyes screaming with pain.

"Because I was tired, I was so broken and I tried- I tried to tell you but you weren't ready to hear me and God Abhi I was just so exhausted, the blames - the accusations. To be held responsible for another loved one's death - it damn near killed me.
Ho-how had life landed me in the exact same position again ? Sometimes I don't fight it, I let the voices take over, I let myself drown in it- and I couldn't breathe Abhi, the pain, the guilt - it felt like my soul was getting ripped apart.

When I got to know about Abhir, its like I found my purpose, my reason to exist, but I was so terrified, terrified I would mess him up - terrified that this godforsaken curse that seems to follow me would harm my baby.
And then when I held him in my arms for the first time- I thought if something so pure, so good could from me then maybe there was hope.
I just wanted to live, just wanted to raise my son."

"Do you- do you think you would ever be able to forgive me ? That there ever could be an us?"

"I loved you, I loved you something fierce, yo-you are engrained in my blood, my skin, my bones - I don't think I can move on from that, a part of me will always love you, I don't know how to do anything else but I can't be with you Abhi, mujhme ab woh himmath nahi hai, na woh takhath."

A/N -
Something I just quickly scribbled 🙈
Ngl I did enjoy the confrontation bw Manjiri and Akshu but there's so much disconnect in the writing, and a convo like this between them seems nothing but a pipe dream 😭

Also my other story fanaa (which is also based off on the leap, it's my take on single mom Akshu) has been completed, if you guys would like to check it out

Thank you for all the votes
Do comment, would love to read your thoughts even if it's to just rant abt the show 🥹

Lots of love <3
