Abhinav was staring ahead with mouth open and he was unable to process whatever was happening in front of him. Jiya was showing him dance steps which was really hard for a non - dancer like him.
Ab - Mujhse nehi hoga yeh.
Jiya - Arey ap try to kariye.
Ab - Dekhiye mujhe dance ati hi nehi hai. Main kaise...
Jiya - Ap ayiye idhar mere saath
Jiya took Abhinav with her by grabbing his wrist. Akshara had enough now she was just proceeding to say something but Aarohi held her and took her with her,
Aa - Kya karne ja rahi thi.?
Ak - Haat kaise lagaya usne mere Abhinav ko.
A smirk crept in Aarohi's mouth which she controlled in no time,
Aa - Toh kya hua.?
Ak - Kya bol rahi hai Aaru koi aur mere pati ko haat lagayega to main kya chupchap dekhti rahoongi.?
Aa - Tere to dost hai na woh.? Dost k liye etne possessive.
Akshara didn’t expect this response,
Ak - D.. Dost hai, Par pati bhi to hai...
Even Akshara wasn’t sure what she should say, she knows something changed inside her but something was stopping her from admitting that she loves Abhinav.
Aa - Dekh yeh tere bich ki baat hai lekin Jiya dost hai muskaan ki. Usey kuch mat kehna abhi.
Akshara wanted to protest even though she knows Aarohi is right.
....
Abhinav and Abhimanyu are sitting together in the log outside the house. Abhimanyu is confused as to why Abhinav called him here today,
Ab - Mujhe nehi pata sabse asan tarika kaunsa hai apse baat karne ka. Lekin baat to karni parega na..
Mujhe nehi pata Akshara mere liye kya mehsoos karti hai par main unse bohot pyaar karta hoon. Isiliye main chahta hoon ap unse door rahe. Abhir apka beta hai ap jab chahe ussey mil sakte hai par Akshara pe apka koi haq nehi hai.
Yeh main hargiz bardasht nehi karoonga agar ap mere biwi k kareeb jane ki kowshish karenge toh.
Abhimanyu listened to him calmly bt inside he was fuming,
Abhi - Akshara aur apka rishta to bas naam ka hai. Woh sirf apko apna dost manti hai pyaar woh sirf aur sirf mujhse karti hai. Woh meri hai, aur meri hi rahegi.
Ab - Akshara ek katputli nehi insaan hai. Woh itni samajhdaar hai ki woh apne liye stand le sakti hai. Agar unko apke paas jana hoga toh phir main unko nehi rokunga. Lekin Agar unhe nehi jana hai toh phir main unke samne khara hoon unhe protect karne k liye.
Abhi - Dekhte hai. Pyaar se agar mein awaaz dungi to woh aj bhi mere paas dorti huyi aa jayegi.
Ab - Dijiye awaaz. Main apko nehi rokunga. Lekin apne dayre mein rehke.
Saying this Abhinav angrily left the premises.
...
Abhinav is sitting alone and he has no clue what he should do next. Though he said Abhimanyu to try but what if he actually succeeds and Akshara leaves with him.
He wouldn’t have done all this if he hadn’t witnessed whatever happened yesterday.
...
FLASHBACK -
Akshara is sitting alone thinking about her feelings for Abhinav. She is confused. She is not ready to love someone again. But what is this feeling she is experiencing right now. Is it only friendship or Aarohi is right.?
Her thoughts had to end as someone just sat beside her.
Abhi - Kya soch rahi ho.?
Ak - Kuch nehi.
Abhi - Tumhe pata hai na tum mujhse kuch bhi share kar sakti ho.
Ak - Mujhe nehi lagta hum itne close hai ki main tumse apni dil ki baat karoon.
Abhi - Kaisi baatein kar rahi ho. Hum close nehi hai.?
Ak - Hum close the, par woh rishta bohot pehle hi khatam ho chuka hai.
Abhi - Hum naye sirese shuru nehi kar sakte.?
Ak - Dekho Abhimanyu plz mujhe galat mat samajhna par mein abhi bohot pareshan hoon plz mujhe akela chor do.
Abhimanyu suddenly held Akshara's hand,
Ak - Ye tum kya kar rahe ho.? ( angrily )
Abhi - Akshara plz mujhe apne zindegi mein ek chota sa hi sahi jaga de do.
Ak - Haat choro
Abhi - Akshara plzz
Akshara just glared at him and he left her hand and she left. Abhinav saw the whole thing. He was coming to rescue Akshara but before that Akshara stood for herself.
....
Sangeet function starts,
Just like show everyone danced in pair,
Mimi - Neela amma
Swarna - Manjiri
Manish - Surekha
Aarohi - Muskan
Kairav - His Saliya ( Ina, Krys, Nia, Sri)
Akshara, Abhir - Abhimanyu, Roohi.
Now it was time for the last performance. Abhir and Roohi went to the stage to Announce the couple,
Abhir - Abhi dance karne aayenge mere super PAPA
Roohi - Aur Jiya Masi....
Everyone clapped except one person. She wasn’t happy with the arrangement. She got more furious when she noticed Abhinav smiling at Jiya after the announcement.
Ak - Has kyu rahe hai ye!!! ( in a murmur)
Aarohi heard her sisiter but she still pretended as if she couldn’t hear anything.
Aa - Kuch kaha!!
Ak - Nehi..
But she was still pouting looking at the duo.
They danced on Left leg agey agey as Abhinav doesn’t know how to dance he lost and Jiya won. She started jumping hearing she won helding Abhinav's hand. He was also smiling at her and shaking his head on her childishness. Unable to tolerate this anymore Akshara just took off.
(Note : In the show it was Abhinav who had to go though all this all the time. I wanted to give him justice)
