Something In Between Us

Chapter 16

Akshara was wondering where Abhinav was when she looked for him in the garden, hall, kitchen everywhere. At last she went to check in Abhir's room. There she saw both Abhinav and Abhir are
Sleeping together hugging each other.

Akshara goes near them and lie down beside them. Abhinav is still awake so he looks at her and their eyes meet as Akshara is also looking at him.

Abhinav immediately shuts down his eyes.  Akshara comes closer and hugs them both as Abhir was on top of Abhinav so she could easily hug Abhinav. Abhinav doesn’t respond and Both of them fall asleep after sometime.

....

Ma - Kasauli jana zaroori hai.?

Ab - Naya naya business hai bade papaji kam to dekhna padega.

Ma - Woh toh sahi kaha apne..

They don’t know what to say as Abhinav is right. He can't sit around doing nothing. Akshara wants to stop him, she knows he will again stop taking her calls and she can't live without him. His jokes, his smile, his way of expressing love she is missing everything.

Abhinav goes upstairs to pack some important stuff.

Ab - Kuch chhut to nehi gaya na ji.?

Abhinav asks Himself and starts checking his bag one last time,

Ak - Ap apna bohot kimti saman chor k jaa rahe hai

Saying so Akshara hugs him from behind while weeping silently. Abhinav stands still. He doesn’t know she is crying but he knows she is talking about herself.

He removes her hands and starts checking his bag. Akshara helds his hand and turns him towards her.

Ak - Ap kab tak mujhse baat nehi karenge. Baat nehi karenge to solution kaise milega.?

Ab - Mujhe zaroori kam hain ji Kasauli main. Akey baat karoonga.

Ak - Mujhe abhi baat karni hai. Main apko kahi nehi jane doongi mujhse baat kiye bina.

Abhinav throws the clothes that were in his hand frustratedly,

Ab - Apko kya baat karni hai.?

Ak - Abhinav main sorry bol rahi hoon na. Mujhe pata hai maine galat kaha hai aur main...

Ab - Jab bhi koi pareshani aati hai ap kuch aisa bol dete hai. Abhir k operation k time pe bhi apne bola tha na woh apka beta hai aur meri zid k wajah se ap usey khone wale hai. Maine kuch nehi kaha tha. Main samjha tha apke dard ko. Par Akshara main bhi insaan hu ji. Mujhe bhi dard hota hai, takleef hota hai. Jab apne mere pyaar pe sawal uthaya woh to mere pyaar ka apman tha na ji.

Akshara reached for his hand which he immediately removed and stands crossing his hands.

Ak - Abhinav mujhe pata hai aap kitna pyaar karte hai mujhse aur Abhir se. Halat hi kuch aise the ki mujhe samajh mein hi nehi aaya mein kya keh gayi.

Akshara removes the hands from his chest and hugs him tightly.

Ak - Jab tak ap mujhe maaf karke phirse acche se baat nehi karenge main apko nehi chorungi.

Ab - Akshara kya baccho jaisi baatein kar rahe ji ap.

Akshara hugs him more tightly. Abhinav could feel the anger in him was subsiding. His guard was becoming more and more weak. Finally he gives in and reciprocates the hug.

A large smile beamed in Akshara's face. Finally she felt a heavy Weight was removed from her heart.

Ab - Lekin jana to phir bhi parega ji.

Ak - Nehi!!!

Ab - Akshara kaisi baatein kar rahi hai. Abhi abhi liya hai business nehi jaunga to shuru hone se pehle hi khatam ho jayega. Main case k pehle aa jaunga.

Akshara really doesn’t want him to leave bt eventually she agreed as its necessary for their future.

...

Kr - Chaliye.

Ak - Ap kaha jaa rahi hai di.?

Kr - Tu itni pareshan thi to tujhe bataya hi nehi, main bhi Kasauli ja rahi hoon Abhinav ji k saath.

Ak - Kyu.?

Kr - Case k silsile mein kuch kam tha aur meri ek meeting bhi hai waha.

Sw - Dhyan se jana ap dono.

Ma - Pohoch k phone kar dena

Ab - Aplog chinta mat kariye mein pura dhyan rakhoonga didiji ka.

Ma - Ap hai isiliye chinta nehi hai humein.

Abhinav gave kisses to both Abhir and Roohi and left for Kasauli along with Krishna.

.....

Aarohi and Ayaan came a long way amidst all the chaos. Aayan was a constant support system for Aarohi and Roohi.

Roohi could accept the fact that Abhimanyu is Abhir's real father so easily was because of Ayaan. Ayaan explained the whole situation to her nicely and also took Aarohi, Roohi and Abhir on a trip as per their plan where Ayaan and Roohi bonded nicely.

Right now Ayaan has come to meet Aarohi and Roohi in the Birla house as Aarohi is staying there right now. Manjeri didn’t like it. If Aarohi marries Ayaan then she will lose Roohi as she will leave with her mother so she doesn’t like Ayaan at all and Against their relationship which is yet to form but the spark between them is so visible that even Manjeri couldn’t ignore it.
