Something In Between Us

Chapter 14

Guy - Bhaiji ghar nehi jana.?

Abhinav is sitting at the bus stop. He looked at the guy in front of him,

Ab - Nehi bhaiji bus ka intezaar kar raha hoon. Kasauli jana hai.

Guy - Kasauli ka bus subah 6 baje hai. Abhi sirf 11 baj rahe hai. Kahi jake aram kar lijiye.

Ab - Main thik hu bhaiji.

Guy - Ap mere saath aa jayiye hum udhar (pointing to a space)bathe hai hum bhi kasauli ja rahe hai trip pe.

Abhinav had some important work to finish in Kasauli so he informed Muskaan that he was going to Kasauli and decided to wait here at the bus stop. As he really doesn’t wanna face Akshara right now. Whatever Akshara said to him was hurtful for him. He loved her and Abhir a lot. Abhir is his lifeline. Thinking that he doesn’t care for him is an insult for him.

Some guys who are going on a trip noticed him as he was sitting alone with his head down. So they decided to ask his whereabouts as he was not looking like a spinster.

....

Ak - Abhinav kaha chale gaye..

Akshara keeps on trying Abhinav's phone. He left in the morning now its almost 10:30. Abhinav still hasn’t arrived. She keeps pacing in the hall room and trying to call Abhinav which was unreachable.

M - Bhabi kya hua.? Ap abhi tak soyi nehi..

Muskan thought Abhinav informed Akshara as he always did. So she didn’t tell her anything. She came to drink water when she noticed Akshara,

Ak - Tere bhaiji abhi tak nehi aaye. Pata nehi kaha chale gaye.

M - Bhaiji ne apko kuch nehi kaha..

Ak - Kis bare mein.?

M - Woh to Kasauli chale gaye.

Ak - Kya.? Kab.? Kyun.?

M - Woh to pata nehi mujhe. Unka phone aya tha unhone kaha ki unhe kuch kam aa gaya hai woh kasauli jaa rahe hai. 2-3 din mein laut aayenge.
Unhone apko bataya nehi.? Mujhe laga apko pata hoga..

Akshara knew exactly why he didn’t inform her. She was regreting her behaviour bt it was too late. Words are like bullets you can shoot them bt can't take them back.

Akshara went back to her room. She was hoping Abhinav will call her once so that she can tell him how sorry she is right now.

....

Abhir - Mumma papa kab ayenge.?

Ak - Aa jayenge betu tu khana kha le..

Abhir - Aap kyu nehi kha rahi hai.?

Ak - Main kha lungi pehle tu kha le.

M - Bhabi apne kal bhi kuch nehi khaya tha ap bethiye...

Ak - Mujhe bhook nehi hai Muskan. Main badh mein kha lungi.

Ma - Akshu... Beth.. Khana kha le. Abhinav ji aa jayenge.

Kr - Abhir ka case jeetna hai ya nehi.?

Akshara looks at her fully puzzled..

Kr - Khana kha le. Takat nehi hogi to ladegi kaise....

Muskan prepared a bite and offered it to Akshara. She was not feeling it but she still took it.

It's been two days already. Abhinav didn’t call her once. He only informed Muskan and didn’t take anyone else's call. Akshara wanted to run back to Kasauli. Say sorry to Abhinav for her behaviour.

....

Ak - Yeh kya hai.?

Abhinav returned from Kasauli just now and Gave Akshara a paper. Akshara is scared. Her hands are shaking. Is Abhinav giving her a divorce.?  When he stopped talking to her this thing hitted her but now that Abhinav actually gave her papers she is feeling dizzy.

Ab - Apke sare sawalon ke jawab hai ismein.

Akshara opened the papers with shaking hands.

What was inside was a shock for her.

....

A few months ago,

Abhinav was talking to Mr. Shyam Chandra. He is the owner of a big travel agency. Abhinav helped him when his wife was sick so he thinks really highly of Abhinav. When Abhinav needed money he rented one of his taxi's to Abhinav. When Abhinav returned to Kasauli after Abhir's surgery Abhinav found out Shyam is moving to the USA so he is selling his whole business.

When Abhinav showed interest Shyam told him he will decrease the price for him and also he can pay him in installment but he needs to pay 40 lakh in advance.

So Abhinav took a loan from Manish who didn’t ask him why he needed money he just gave it to him.

Abhinav didn’t tell anyone because the paper work wasn’t finished. Abhinav went back to kasauli for the papwr works...

After finishing the paperwork he returned to Udaipur and decided to give the papers to Akshara. As it was a surprise for her. But she ruined it by saying all those things to Abhinav.
