Abhinav was walking on the street aimlessly. A few hours ago it was the happiest moment of his life. His Son Abhir has recovered, he won the worst battle of his life. But now he is about to lose everything.
Abhinav stayed in the hospital last night so Akshara asked him to go home and take some rest, later come back at evening.
Abhinav wasn’t able to meet Akshara's eyes. He is unfamiliar with the feeling he is having right now. So he also felt relieved that Akshara asked him to leave. So He is walking on the road right now.
....
Ak - Ha, bade papa. Abhinav pohoch gaye.?
Ma - Nehi to. Woh to ghar nehi aye.
Ak - Ghar nehi aye to kaha gaye.? Unko hospital se nikle 2 ghante ho gaye hai.
Ma - Tu chinta mat kar aate hi honge. Tu Abhir aur apna dheyan rakh.
Ak - Ji.
Akshara was lost in thoughts. She noticed that Abhinav wasn’t even looking at her ever since they heard the news of Abhir's Operation being successful.
Where Abhinav must be right now.
....
Abhinav was in the temple.
Ab - Hey Akshara ke kanhaji. Mujhe plz rasta dikhayiye. Main kya karu.?
He kept having thoughts like what if Akshara leave him. When he was alone it never affected him bt now that he knows how having a family feels like he doesn’t wanna lose it.
Its not like he doesn’t trust Akshara. Its just he is insecure as he knows Akshara doesn’t love him. She is with him for Abhir.
He was confuse but one thing he was sure about is until Akshara asks him to leave he is not going to abandon Akshara and Abhir.
....
Abhir - Mumma, Papa kab ayenge.?
Ak - Papa beta thode thak gaye hai. Thoda sa rest kar k phir wapas chale ayenge.
Akshara said this but she wasn’t sure as she was feeling uneasy inside.
.....
Abhinav reached the Goenka Mansion freshened up, changed his clothes and Again left for Hospital.
Abhir - Papa!!!
Akshara immediately looked behind. And smiled brightly,
Ak - Ap a gaye.? Itni der kaise lag gayi ghar pohochne mein.
Ab - Woh mein mandir gaya tha.
Ak - Oh.. Ap thik hai na.?
Abhinav smiled weakly,
Ab - Ji main bilkul thik hu.
Abhir - Papa hum kasauli kab jayenge.?
Ab - Arey nikkeji tu pehle thik to ho ja phir chalenge.
Abhir - Main bilkul thik hu. Kal chalte hai.
Ab - Tu abhi puri tarah se thik nehi hua hai. Phir chalenge na.
He caressed Abhir's hair. And gave him a small kiss on his forhead.
Just then Aarohi entered the room..
Aa - Kaisa hai humara Abhir.?
She smiled at Abhir. Abhir also smiled back..
Abhir - Main bilkul thik hu masi.
Aa - Dard ho raha hai.?
Abhir - Thoda sa.
Aarohi check him thoroughly and left.
Akshara was trying to convince herself that everything is fine but something was feeling off.
....
Seven days later they came back to Kasauli and Abhimanyu followed them and started living there as a house guest. ( Just like Show)
Akshara and Abhimanyu was arguing about Jam and chila.
Abhi - Sharmaji ap mere Chila khake to dekhiye ap bread jam vul jayenge.
Ak - Khabardar agar bread jam k alawa kuch aur chua to
Abhi - Kyu nehi khayenge. Unki marzi jo chahe khaye.
Ak - Woh mere pati hai jo main dungi wohi khayenge
Abhi - Mere bhi dost hai mera diya gaya khana kha sakte hai.
Abhinav was listening to them calmly. Unable to precess the fact that even after so many years they are so comfortable around each other.
Ab - Kya kar rahe hai ap dono. Main sab kha lunga mat ladiye.
Ak - Apka favourite hai na mera bread jam. Apko kab se kuch aur khana hai.? ( angrily )
Abhi - Dariye mat sharmaji ap try kijiye mera chila.
Ab - Ji.
Ak - Abhinav!!
Abhi - Dekho tum...
Ab - Bas... Main Abhir ko taiyar kar k ata hoon.
Abhinav couldn’t handle it anymore. Ever since he saw Akshara and Abhimanyu together he is not in his right mind.
Abhinav came to Abhir's room and started helping him.
Abhir - Ap badal gaye ho.?
Ab - Kya bol raha hai nikkeji. Main kaha se badla hua dikh raha hoon tujhe.
Abhir - Ap pehle jaise PJ's nahi marte ho, mere saath football bhi nehi khelte ho.
Ab - Arey nikkeji tu kya kya sochta rehta hai. Main koi badla nehi hoon bas thodi si tension mein hoon tu chinta mat kar. Tu bas masti kar aur khush reh.
Saying so he kissed Abhir's forhead and took his hand and left for his school.
....
Just like Akshara even Abhimanyu could understand the fact that something is off about Abhinav.
Abhi - Sab kuch thik hai na Sharmaji.
Abhinav smiled nervously
Ab - Ji ji bhaiji main bilkul thik hu. Bas Muskaan ke bare mein soch raha tha.
Abhi - Kya hua muskan ko.?
Ab - Apko to pata hai jo bhi saale sab ne kiya uske saath bechari ka dil toota hai to main soch raha tha usey kuch dino k liye yaha leke ata hun.
Abhi - Muskan bohot strong hai usey apni ladai ladna ata hai. Ap uski chinta mat kijiye.
Ab - Ji.
Abhinav used Muskan as a excuse to avoid Abhimanyu's questions.
....
Akshara heard the whole conversation between Abhinav and Abhimanyu. She was scared as she knows Kairav and Muskan are in a relationship right now.
