adhura pyaar ┃abhira (3.0)

want

Akshara hugged Abhir closer to her, as daylight spilled into their room. Last night was exhausting and filled her heart with an unmeasurable amount of grief and fear. Abhimanyu words comforted her to a certain extent but everytime she cast a gaze at Abhir's wide smile and wonder filled eyes, she felt her world crumbling once again. 

She hadn't informed anyone in her family yet, as everyone was still on edge about the divorce with Abhinav. She had another hearing to attend today, and she was hoping that no one would stop by to give her more unwanted advice. She really liked Abhinav and was forever grateful for him, but it was unfair to everyone to keep this thread between them. Nothing about them was true, and the named relationship they were in lacked all the necessary feelings. 

She definitely respected him, and she loved the respect she got from him but she knew that she wouldn't be able to give him the type of love he wanted. Before Abhimanyu had apologised and showed her his growth, she didn't know if she would feel the same as she did now. She knew she would never love anyone as much as she loved Abhimanyu but at the same time, the hurt overpowered her and she would do anything to keep her facade of a happy family. 

She knew now, that though Abhimanyu wronged her she had also committed a wrong. And two wrongs never equal a right. 

"Mumma" Abhir spoke in his sleep, and her attention turned towards him. 

"Good morning meri bacha" She presses a kiss to his cheek and then to his head, allowing him to wake up slowly. 

"Thank god it's sunday today" Abhir says, sitting up on the bed. He fisted his hands together and rubbed them against his eyes trying to wake himself up. "Docman and I had so much fun yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to wake up today for school!"

She just listened to him, trying to memorize the sound of his voice and the glint in his eyes, knowing that after a while she might not get to be blessed with the sight of this. 

"Where's papa?" Abhir asks after a pause and Akshara realizes she wasn't prepared for this. "Why isn't he here with us"

"He went out to run a few errands" She lies, she knows that Abhir can't be told about the divorce immediately especially since he's already faced such a big change in his life. "Ok enough talking, let's go get ready! Today is going to be a mumma and abhir day out!"

Sounds of excitement are elicited from Abhir's mouth and he doesn't waste a second, before jumping up to go brush his teeth and get ready for the day. The both of them are fully ready to go a couple of hours later, and Akshara decides to start of by taking Abhir to the new movie he wanted to see. 

They emerge from the movies an hour later and Akshara treats him to a day out of shopping and food from every place he loves. 

The both of them walk hand in hand around the various shops, eating their ice-creams. She loved ice cream with all of her heart, which was something Abhir inherited too. A minute later, Abhir tugs on the end of her sleeve and she crouches down to his level, she doesn't think much of the cheeky smile on his face until he tilts his ice-cream towards her and places some on the tip of her nose. She lets out a sound of surprise, "Abhir!"

He giggles, and the sound brings her an unsurmounted amount of joy, deciding to tease him back she says"you know what you're just like ab-

She stops herself midway, embarassed at how easily she forgot the barriers that were drawn. Abhir has a curious expression on his face, and she instantly tries to divert the topic not wanting to lie to his small cute face, "Look at you being so naughty! Now I will have to think about the surprise i was planing to give you"
