adhura pyaar ┃abhira (3.0)

joy and light

Akshara pulled her son closer towards her as he slept, she knew that he was more attached to Abhinav when he was falling asleep, but ever since she had lost him she couldn't spend a minute away from him and had become possessive over him. 

Abhir was mumbling in his sleep and Akshara could tell that he was in the brink of waking up, so she peppered kisses all over him causing him to groan in annoyance before waking up. 

"Mumma!" He exclaims pouting, he rubs his eyes tiredly. "Mat kar"

"Teek hain, meri baby lekin ab utho" She says, as she shakes him slightly. It takes her a few more tries before he finally sits up and she hands him his glasses. 

Once he's wide awake, she bites her bottom lip before asking him a serious question, "Abhir, you're okay with all the changes right? Moving from kasauli to Udaipur and learning about your new papa?"

He thinks for a moment and doesn't respond, which leaves her to worry but soon enough he gives her a smile, "Haan mumma, mein teek hoon kyunki tum mera saath hain na"

A watery smile makes its way onto her face as she smiles before nodding, and gesturing him towards her. He gives her a long hug, and finally feels peaceful. It had been a whirlwind of emotions ever since he had found out that his docman was his real father and he had been pushed to adjust to all the changes in an unhealthy pace. Though his docman had tried his hardest to make him feel comfortable, he couldn't help get rid of the weight in his chest that came from missing his mumma. 

However, he couldn't lie that he still had a million different questions which he knew he wouldn't get the answer to. He loved his docman just as he loved his mumma and papa, and was now glad that he could spend time with him without having to leave his mumma. 

"Now we have to get up though, we have to prepare for Nanu's birthday right?" Akshara pulled herself away, and Abhir smiled enthusiastically. 

He would miss Kasauli, but Udaipur at times made it hard to miss with the warmth and love he received here.

"Roohi, you're okay with this?" Abhir asks, in a quiet tone. "I know you wanted docman and mausi to have a daashi"

"Nahi billa boy, it's okay" She smiles brightly, "Poppy ne mujhe acha se samjhaya, and now I know that the two people i love the most are happier without the shaadi. And even I'm curious to know about meri mausi aur poppy ki past"

"Sach?" Abhir asks uncertainly, and as Roohi nods he lets out a smile of relief. "Thanks Ruhi Chuhi"

"What naught scheme are you two plotting now?" Akshara asks the both of them as she approaches from behind, effectively surprising the two. 

"kuch nahi!" they both exclaim together and she raises an eyebrow in question. 

"Okaay..." She says, still doubtful but there were still a lot of decorations to be done so she ushered them to help Aarohi. 

They were holding a celebration for Bade Papa's birthday, since they felt the joy and light have re-entered their lives. Everything so far had been going at a good pace for everybody and they felt that celebrating it, while extending an invite to the Birlas would finally open a fresh chapter for everybody.

She did feel a bit nervous having to face Manjiri, she knew that what Abhimanyu had done must have stayed as unknown to her till the last minute. Knowing the wrath she inflicts on people, she knew Abhimanyu must have also suffered through it. 

But as she glanced at Abhir from a distance, who was animatedly chatting with Roohi and Aarohi with a wide smile on his face she knew that she would face anything for his happiness.
