Something In Between Us

Chapter 11

While the boys were planning for the party at night Abhinav had other plans. He left home early in the morning without telling anyone.

K - Yeh Abhinav ji kaha chale gaye..

N - Woh to hume ghumane le jane wale the aj.

K - Wait karte hai shayad aa jayenge.

Kairav and Nikhil were sitting in the front yard waiting for Abhinav. While Ayaan is sitting inside working on the laptop. Just then Roohi came there running and hid behind a sofa near Ayaan.

Aarohi came there running looking for Roohi.

Aa - Apne Roohi ko kahi dekha.?

Roohi kept gesturing him not to tell her mother.

Ayaan signaled Aarohi that she was behind the couch. Also asked her to leave and he will talk to her.

Ay - Haan woh bahar gayi hai.

Aa - Thik hai main bahar dekh ke aati hoon..

After Aarohi left Ayaan asked Roohi to come out,

Ay - Kya hua.?

R - Mumma datengi.

Ay - Kyun.?

R - Maine Poppy se bad girl ki tarah baat ki..

Ay - Par ap toh good girl ho phir apne aisa kyu kiya.?

R - Poppi mujhse pehle jaise pyaar nehi karte. Aur kuch bhi ho mujhe hi daat te rehte hai.

Ayaan took roohi up and made her sit on his lap,

Ay - Phir bhi woh to apse bade hai. Agar ap unse bad girl ki tarah baat karenge toh phir sab apke mumma ko bolenge unhone apko bad girl banaya. Kya ap chahte hai koi mumma ko daate.?

Roohi shook her head in no.

Ay - Isiliye ap jaake sorry boldo Poppy ko aur mumma ko bhi..

R - Ok. Main abhi sorry bolke aati hoon.

Aarohi watched the whole thing from outside. Today she really missed Neil. Only if he was here he would be with them like this and show Roohi the right path.

.....

Akshara was looking for Abhinav and Abhir. She was Wondering where they must have gone. He never goes anywhere without telling her. Suddenly Abhimanyu approaches her,

Abhi - Main Abhir ko batane ja raha hoon ke woh mera beta hai aur main ussey bohot pyaar karta hoon.

Akshara had enough she tried her level best to understand him. But he just Won't stop,

Ak - Jo karna hai karo.. Bas mujhe roz roz yeh dhamki dena bandh karo.

Akshara blasted. Hearing Akshara's shout everyone came outside. Manjeri immediately stands beside her son in a protective way.

Ak - Tumhe kya lagta hai mujhe bohot maza aa raha hai Abhir se yeh sab kuch chupake. Maa hoon main uski ussey sab kuch chupake aise andhere mein rakhkar mujhe bhi bura lag raha hai lekin main bas shaanti se ye shaadi nipatna chahti thi. Lekin nehi tumhe to chain nehi hai. Tamasha kiye bina tum maa bete ko acha thodi lagta hai.

Abhi - Ismein tum meri Maa ko kyu bich mein la rahi ho.. Baat to hum dono ke bich ho rahi hai

Ak - Tumhari maa ko main bich mein nehi laa rahi hoon woh khud bich mein aa rahi hai.

Abhi - Kya matlab.?

Ak - Pucho apni maa se kya kaha unhone Abhinav se.. Woh to mera pati kuch zyada hi acche admi hai isiliye unko kuch nehi kaha. Koi aur hota to ab tak ghar se nikal deta. Main bhi unki lihaz kar rahi thi isiliye ab tak chup thi. Lekin agar tum ne ya phir tumhari maa ne mere parivaar ki khushiyon ko nazar lagane ki kowshish bhi ki to mujhse bura koi nehi hoga.

When Aarohi saw Abhinav fighting his battle alone she told Akshara everything that happened but took a promise that she Won't make a scene right now

While Akshara was trying to control her anger she noticed Abhinav and Abhir standing on the door.

All of them were shocked to see them.

Ak - Kaha chale gaye the ap dono. Main kabse dhoond rahi thi.

Ab - Hum bas aise thoda ghumne gaye the kachori khane.

Ak - Mujhe bhi leke jana tha naa..

Akshara wanted to light the mood as she wasnt sure how much they heard Abhinav was in no mood he went near Abhimanyu and stand before him

Ab - Abhir se baat kar lijiye maine usey sab samjha diya hai.

Abhimanyu looked at him confusingly.

Ab - Ap agar chahte hai apka beta apse pyaar kare to phir uske dil ko samajhne ki kowshish kariye.

Abhimanyu went near Abhir and sat in front of him and caressed his hairs when he tried to hug him he ran towards Abhinav and hid behind him.

Man - Yeh samjhaya apne.? Usko uske Papa ke khilaf kar diya.. Ap to bade acche bante hai ab kya hogaya. Abhi apki acchayi kaha gayi.?

Akshara was going to protest but Abhinav held her back.

Abhimanyu looked at Abhir and he could sense the disliking of his son towards him which broke his heart.

He went out without uttering a single word.

....

Abhimanyu is walking on the road,  dejected, lost. He is angry he thinks It's Abhinav. Abhinav said something to his son that made Abhir hate his own father.

Abhi - Yeh apne accha nehi kiya Sharmaji. Maine apko dost samjha apne mera sab kuch chin liya. Main apko dikhaunga ek hara hua insaan kya kar sakta hai.

....

Abhi - Mujhe Abhir chahiye. Main uske liye court mein jaunga.

Man - Yeh tune bohot accha faisla liya. Chal Akshara aur Abhinav ji se baat karne.

Abhi - Abhi nehi maa. Kairav ki shaadi ho jane do. Uske baad main khud baat karunga sabse.

This time Abhimanyu is determined. He is not going to give up. He is going to take away what is his.
