Maybe it was the first time Abhinav met Jiya. It's not the first time for Jiya. She met Abhinav before when he was visiting Muskan in the college.
Abhinav was sitting beside the road with 2-3 kids and telling them jokes and making them laugh. Jiya was there and she also chuckled at his jokes but she had a class so she left.
Later when Abhinav was sitting in the bus stop to leave for Pathancoat he met a couple They were waiting for their son and he wasn’t picking their calls so they asked for help from Abhinav. He called someone and found out he had an accident, Abhinav gave the old couple 15000 rupees and also donated blood for their son. Jiya knows all these because that couple was her parents and Abhinav saved her brother.
Later she found out Abhinav was Muskan's brother and she also got to know the money Abhinav gave them was an installment for his car as he wanted to settle down in Kasauli. (He bought the taxi/car after marrying Akshara)
....
Abhinav was getting ready and he wore a casual outfit today as well. Abhir and Akshara entered the room at that time,
Abhir - Papa abhi ap eise hi kapre pehnenge roz.?
Ab - Nehi nikkeji bas jab tak bhumi ki shaadi na ho jaye tab tak.
Ak - Kyu.? Kisko impress karna hai.?
Ab - Arey Akshara kisiko impress nehi karna hai. Bas Uncle sunne se bachna hai. Warna Muskaan k dost mera jeena haram kar denge.
Ak(in mind) - Jeena to ap dono ka mein haram karoongi
Abhir - Papa apna bohot cool lag rahe ho.
Ab - Thank you nikkeji
Saying this Abhinav raised his collar proudly.
Ak - Ho gaya.?
Ab - Apko kya ho gaya.? Main acha nehi lag raha hoon.?
Ak - Bilkul bhi nehi.. Mujhe puranewale Abhinav pasand hai.
Ab - Akshara ap na Aunty hoti ja rahi hai isiliye apko uncle pasand aa rahe hai.
Ak - Kya kaha apne.?
Akshara said angrily raising her hand,
Ab - Kya kar rahi hai ap Akshara baccha dekh raha hai. Kya izzat reh jayegi uske papa ki.
Akshara narrowed her eyes at him and left angrily.
Ab - Teri maa lagta hai pagal ho gayi hai.
Abhir - Mummaaa..
Abhinav immediately put his hand on Abhir's mouth,
Ab - Marwayega kya Nikkeji.. Chal bohot sare kam hai.
....
Abhimanyu was not in his right mind. One hand his own son hates him and on the other hand his daughter is sad because of him. He is not a good father. How he became so selfish that he couldn’t see his daughter's sadness. He will fix it. But before he needs to fix his relationship with Abhir and Akshara.
...
Ak - Humne baat ki thi na is bare mein ke shaadi k baad hum ussey baat karenge to abhi kyu.
Abhi - Woh mujhse baat bhi nehi kar raha hai. Usne kaha ke woh apne real papa se nafrat karta hai. Akshara mujhse yeh sehen nehi ho raha hai. Tumhi bolo main kya karu.
Abhimanyu broke into tears and Akshara was stunned as she didn’t know what to do.
Ak - Main Abhir se baat karungi. Kuch galat fehmi huyi hogi mein sort out kar dungi.
Saying this she put her one hand on Abhimanyu's shoulder.
....
Every time Abhinav sees manjeri he feels some heavy weight is kept in his heart. He feels burdened. The words manjeri said to him kept ringing in his ears.
But even he noticed the changed behaviour of Akshara.
Ever since Akshara started behaving differently his hope started rising. Sometimes he even forgets that they are only friends and sometime he feels he came in Between a happy family.
Ak - Kiske khayalo mein khoye huye hai ap.?
Akshara asked him while pouting, which made Abhinav chuckled,
Ab - Apke alawa aur hai hi kaun jiske bare mein sochunga main.
Akshara didn’t believe him which she made sure to show him by making a face.
Ab - Apko mujhpe viswas nehi hai.? Tattoo karwalu apke naam ke.
Akshara got really excited while clasping her hands she looked at Abhinav expectantly,
Ak - Bohot acha idea hai.
Ab - Kya bol rahi hai ap Akshara. Main to mazak kar raha tha.
Ak - Par main mazak nehi kar rahi hoon. Apna mere naam ka tattoo karwana lekin english main aur aisi jagah jaha sabko nazar aye.
Ab - Akshara!!
Ak - Kya.?
Ab - Bohot dard hoga..
Abhinav said in a low voice.
Ak - Chaliye jaane dete hai tattoo ko. Lekin uske badle mujhe kuch aur chahiye.
Ab - Kuch bhi!! Bas tattoo nehi karwana.
Ak - Sahi timepe manglungi. Abhi main apse kuch aur baat karne ayi thi.
Ab - Haan boliye.
Ak - Abhir ajkal jo eise behave kar raha hai hume ussey baat karni chahiye. Kuch to hai jo usey pareshan kar rahi hai.
Ab - Abhi itne sare logoke bich akele time milta kaha hai jo kuch puche. Shaadi k baad baat karte hai.
Ak - Woh Abhimanyu ne kaha agar hum baat nehi karenge to woh baat karega. Aur mujhe lagta hai yeh sahi nehi hoga.
Ab - Bhaiji apko blackmail kar rahe hai.?
Ak - Nehi nehi Abhinav woh bas hurt hai Abhir k behaviour se.
Abhinav didn’t like the concern of Akshara for Abhimanyu. But being himself he didn’t say anything and assured Akshara that they will talk to Abhir after haldi.
On the other hand, Akshara wasn’t in love with Abhimanyu or something she was just showing humanity towards him. As she knows the pain a parent has to go through when their child starts ignoring them.
