adhura pyaar ┃abhira (3.0)

secrets

Everyone had crowded around the kids very worried, Aarohi had helped Roohi get bandaged up. It was a small cut, yet still Aarohi was adamant to make sure it was throughly taken care of. Abhimanyu had checked all of Abhir's vitals, even after Abhir had tried to explain that he was fine. Neither of them would take it, Akshara had created a fit over it while fussing over him in case he had hurt himself when he fell. 

Abhimanyu was worried out of his mind, to see both his jaans hurt but knowing the fuss everyone around had created, he had tried to play it easy and reassure them as he knew that kids were more frightened around the chaos around them. However in the meantime, Akshara seemed to notice a small cut on Abhir's arm which she began to freak over. 

Abhimanyu quickly calmed himself down, before softly smiling at Abhir and assuring him, "Aree choti cut hain. kuch nahi hain, teek hojayengi"

He plasters it up after cleaning the small cut however Akshara doesn't seem to understand his technique. She exclaims, "choti si cut! pagal hogaya Abhimanyu dekho kitne blood hain!"

He turns to her while gritting his teeth before whispering, "janti hoon"

He widens his eyes and gestures down to Abhir's forehead creased with tension and she understands quickly, "Oh right! Bahut choti cut hain, meri baby tum bilkul tension mat lena tumara docman haina"

Abhimanyu's heart swells hopefully at Akshara's words, it meant everything to him that she had acknowledged that he could keep Abhir safe. As he watches her hug their son, while whispering something in his ear eliciting a laugh from him, Abhimanyu recalls a time in their past when the both of them had bantered over a unknown child who had been injured, and now they were bantering over their own child. 

Time does fly. 

He heads over to Roohi, letting Akshara cheer up Abhir. Yet Abhir's eyes trail over to Abhimanyu who pulls Roohi into his arms and presses a kiss to her head, while lightly scolding her while telling her to be careful.  This was his real wala papa, his docman, his best friend --- and he hadn't known about him his whole life while Roohi did. But why?

Why hadn't his docman stayed with his mumma, his papa had explained it to him that his mumma was married to docman but they fought so they split up. But why did his docman split with him too, he and his docman never fought. 

Akshara notices Abhir's sullen look, and follows his gaze. She sees that Abhir seems disturbed by the fact that Abhimanyu was tickling Roohi and taking care of her. 

"Dekho ek minute bhi nahi hua aur docman ki miss kar rahe hain. Aur apki mumma idhere hain" She laughs before lifting him up in her arms, "Kya hua betu?"

"Kuch nahi" Abhir sulks, before wrapping his chubby arms around Akshara's neck and buries his face in her hair. "i love you mumma"

"i love you so much" Akshara smiles, pressing a kiss to his head. She knew that Abhir seemed worried about something but she decided to give him some time, maybe it was just the exhaustion speaking in him. 

Akshara swings Abhir in her arms for a couple of minutes while everyone sets up leftover dessert  for them to eat. Abhimanyu walks over to the duo and silently admires them, "Maybe you should put him to sleep"

"Isn't this your tactic to make sure the children don't eat the desserts and get a sugar overload?" She asks, raising her eyebrows and sheepishly smiles. 

"Oh come on, you know that I'm the one that brings them ice cream and treats whenever they want!" He argues, "Plus it's not my fault to care for abhir, since his mumma is already so adamant to feed him sugar in the morning"
