Something In Between Us

Chapter 18

Akshara is pacing in the hall restless. Abhinav and Krishna were supposed to arrive one hour ago. Akshara has news to share with Abhinav. She calls him again which is still not reachable and Krishna's phone is switched off.

Just when she was about to start panicking Abhinav's car pulled over the front door. Akshara ran towards the door and hugged Abhinav tight when he came closer.

Ak - Kaha the ap dono main kab se phone kar rahi thi. Aisa koi karta hai kya.. Phone bhi nehi lag raha tha kisi ka..

Abhinav caressed her hair,

Ab - Gari ka tire puncture ho gaya tha aur waha signal bhi nehi tha isiliye late ho gaya...

Akshara breaks the hug and looks at him then she looks at Krishna and hugs her too..

Kr - Badi jaldi yaad aa gayi apni behen ki..

Akshara gives a shy smile,

Ak - Sorry di ( by holding an ear )

Mimi - Dono ko waha pe khara kar k rakhegi ya andar bhi aane degi..

Ak - Ji mimi..

......

Akshara is nervous she doesn’t know how to talk to Abhinav so she decided to give him hints,

Ak - Yeh apke liye..

Ab - Yeh kya hai ji..

Ak - Khol k to dekhiye..

Abhinav opens the gift box and there was a small pair of shoes of a newborn..

Ab - Yeh kiske liye ji.?

Akshara gets really irritated now,

Ak - Apko kya lagta hai.?

Abhinav thinks for a few moments and says,

Ab - Mana ki bacche humesha maa k liye chote hi hote hai lekin yeh nikkeji ko fit nehi aayenge ji..

Ak - Ap pagal ho gaye hai.. Kya bol rahe hai.. Yeh kiske hai.?

Ab - Bacche k..

She keeps looking at him expectantly when she was getting more furious it hits him,

Ab - Main.. Ap...

He wasn’t able to say something, tear drops kept falling from his eyes which brought tears in Akshara's eyes too.

He just hugs her tightly while tears keeps on falling.

Ab - Apne sabko bataya.?

Ak - Main sabse pehle apko batana chahti thi.

Ab - Humara chota sa Abhir bada bhai ban jayega..

Akshara nodded with teary eyes.

.....

Everyone in the Goenka house is really happy right now. The news about Akshara's pregnancy brought happiness in the house after a long time.

As Abhir's custody case is going to start so everyone was worried sick. So the news about a new mehmaan coming is everyone needed to be happy again.

....

Kr - Kasauli k Abhir k teacher ne aane se mana kar diya..

Ab - Par unhone kaha tha na ji apse ki woh aayengi

Kr - Birla's ka haat hai ismein nujhe pura yakeen hai.. Unlogo ne hi kuch aisa kiya hai jiske wajah se Mrs. Jadeja ne mana kar diya aane se.

Ab - Didiji ap is bare mein Akshara se plz kuch mat kehna ji.. Woh kahomokha tension mein aa jayegi.. Main kuch karta hoon ji.

.....

Abhinav was unable to figure what he should do. What must have gone wrong is that his family is suffering so much right now. Ayaan sits beside him

Ay - Kya hua Abhinav ji.? Ap kuch pareshan lag rahe hai..

Abhinav fills him in about everything that happened,

Ay - Ap tension mat lijiye main kasauli jaunga. Main jake dekhta hoon pura majra kya hai aur ap Akahara ji ka khayal rakhiye. Abhi unhe apki sabse zyada zaroorat hai.

Ab - Thank you bhaiji. Pata nehi main kya karta ap na hote to..

Ay - Are bhai kaha hai na mujhe to farz nibhane dijiye. Abhi andaar jayiye bohot raat ho gayi hai..

Ab - Ji..

....

Ak - Kahan the ap.. Apko pata hai na apka yeh beta apke bina nehi sota..

Abhir - Haan papa main kabse apka intezaar kar raha tha..

Ab - Main tere Ayaan uncle se baatein kar raha tha..

Abhir - Papa.... Ap se ek baat puchu.?

Ab - Arey nikkeji tujhe kab se permission ki zaroorat par gayi.?

Abhir - apne kaha tha ap kabhi khoon k rishte ko nehi samajh paoge.. Yeh baby to apka khoon hoga ap mujhe bhool jaoge.?

Akshnav's eyes fills with tears hearing the question,

Ab - Kaisi baatein kar raha hai yaara.. Koi apne dhaadkan ko bhool sakta hai.? Tu to mere dil ki dhadkan hai.. Tujhe bhool jaunga to jeena bhool jaunga..

Abhinav hugs his son tightly. Akshara too joined them..

Abhinav promised to them in his mind that he will protect all three of them at any cost.
