A little recap : Akshara's confesses to Abhimanyu about her past with Arohi & Kairav.

Abhimanyu looked at his love who now lay in his arms, sleeping like a baby. Akshara was tired after she recalled her bad memories and cried while holding on him.

After he consoled her, she fell asleep soon in his arms. Abhimanyu, who had tried to be a strong support in front of her, couldn't help but silently shed tears as he realized how much of pain she had gone through.

It reminded him of his own fears, his own past where he was mentally abused by his father. Those cruel memories that he had hidden deep inside his heart, came rushing back to him like an erupted volcano.

Abhimanyu held her closer as he lay down with her on the hospital bed, suppressing the evil thoughts. She was his biggest strength, that even she didn't realize. They both were fighting their past demons as they quietly held each other in their sleep.

"Neil! I need your help."

"What? YOU, the great Dr. Abhimanyu Birla needs MY help?" Neil gasped dramatically as Abhi rolled his eyes.

"Shut up, Nautanki! This is important!" Seeing the seriousness in his voice, Neil stopped teasing him.

"What happened bhai, everything okay?" Even Neil was a little concerned.

Abhimanyu took a deep breath and said the words which shook Neil's world.

"I plan to propose Akshu for marriage and I need your help!"

"WHATTTT??!!!!"

Neil shouted loudly almost scaring Abhimanyu.

"Sush! What are you screaming about? Do you want everyone in the hospital to know this?"

"Bhai! Bhai! Bhai! Are you speaking the truth? You are marrying Akshara? You will have a wife and I will have a bhabhi? I can now fulfill my long lost wish of dancing in your baraaat? Bhai! Aaaahhh I'm so happy!"

Neil couldn't help but rant in front of Abhi, his eyes holding a childlike excitement and his whole body shivering in happiness. Abhi rolled his eyes but still chuckled at his brother's antics.

"Only if she says yes, my dear brother. And for that you have to help me!"

"Yes! Absolutely! Tell me what I have to do?"

Abhimanyu tells him to come closer and whispers his plan making Neil more excited.

"Okay okay, bhai done! Don't worry when Neil is here! This will be the best proposal of all time!"

"You're leaving me?" Akshara pouted her lips as she saw Abhi packing his bags.

Abhimanyu chuckled and pulled her closer to him.

"I'm going for a doctor's conference in Delhi, Akshu. I will be back in two days. How can I bear to leave you when my whole existence craves for you every second."

He pulled her in his arms and she just melted hearing his words.

"But I will mish you!" She pouted, looking at him with her intoxicating big eyes.

His eyes were filled with awe at her cuteness, and he kissed on her lips few times till her pout turned into a silly smile.

"I will miss you too, my love. But I will be back before you know it. Plus, you are here with Neil, I'm sure he will keep you entertained."

Abhi consoled Akshu and she sighed, leaving his embrace so that he can pack his bags.

"Okay fine! Go! But remember to come within two days or you'll face the wrath of Akshara Goenka, urf Me."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"And remember to buy me gifts from Delhi!"

"Yes!"

"And you know what, bring me some sweets from old Delhi, mmmhhh I can't wait to try them."

"Okay! Anything else?" Abhimanyu crossed his arms and Akshu sat on his bed, giving him long list of her demands.

"Mmm... I think that would be enough.... OH YEAH!" Akshu thought hard and exclaimed suddenly.

She jumped from the bed and stood in front of him, glaring at him.

"Remember to keep your distance from all the girls you see. I mean it! I will kill any girl who even looks at you!"

Abhimanyu laughed and pinched her nose, making her scrunch her face.

"You need not to worry, Miss Goenka. I'll tell them that I'm taken by a dangerous wild cat, who is very possessive about me. They will run away from me."

Akshara nodded her her in satisfaction, when she was suddenly pulled in his arms.

"Now! Before I go, I need the quota of my kisses for these two days."

Abhimanyu smirked, lifting her up and kissing her luscious lips before she even had chance to respond.
