The journey back from the hospital was a silent one for Akshara and Suhasini. The weight of unspoken concerns lingered in the air, especially for Abhimanyu, who found himself lost in contemplation about the mysterious connection he felt with Akshara.

In the quiet solitude of his thoughts, Abhimanyu found himself tangled in the enigma that was Akshara. The echoes of her voice, the haunting melody from the Udaipur ghat, and the unspoken connection left him introspecting about the threads that connected their lives.

Abhimanyu (whispering to himself): "Kuch toh familiar hai uske baare meim jo samanya se pare hai. That voice, it resonates with a melody etched in my memory."

As the scenes replayed in his mind, he couldn't shake the feeling that Akshara held a significant place in his past, a puzzle with missing pieces waiting to be unearthed.

Abhimanyu (reflecting): "Kya woh ghat wali ladki thi? Kya yeh Woh hi thi jiski awaz mere rooh ko chu gayi? Koi toh connection hai kissi door ka jisne hamein Band ha hai. Mujhe iss baare mein pata lagana padega."

His contemplation wove through the corridors of his thoughts, a silent dialogue with the universe, seeking answers to questions that eluded him.

Abhimanyu (musing) "Uska gaana Sun ke asa kyon lagata hai jise main zindagi bhar se jaanata hoon? yahaan ek kahani hai, jo hamaare raaston ko is tarah se jodti hai ki main samajh nahin pa raha hoon."  

As the strands of reflection continued, Abhimanyu couldn't shake the feeling that their lives were entwined by more than mere chance. The riddle of Akshara's presence echoed in his mind, leaving him yearning for the missing verses of a song yet to be sung.

As Akshara and Suhasini entered the familiar confines of home, Akshara, aware of the storm that had brewed within her, turned to her great-grandmother  with a plea.

Akshara (whispering): "Mimi, please kisi ko bhi mere Panic Attack ke Baare mein nhi pata chalna chahiye. It was just a momentary thing."

Suhasini, respecting Akshara's wishes, nodded in understanding.

Suhasini: "Jaisi tumhari marzi , beta. Lekin agar kabhi lage ki baat karne ki zaroorat hai toh.."

Before Suhasini could finish, Akshara's older brother, Vansh, and Kairav overheard snippets of the conversation. Curiosity etched on their faces, they approached Akshara with concern.

Vansh: "Akshu, Kaya Hua hai? Tu Taidadi ko konsa secret ki baatein bol rhi thi?"

Kairav (worried): "Yeah, Akshu, what's going on?"

Caught off guard, Akshara tried to downplay the situation.

Akshara: "It's really nothing, guys. Bas halka sa panic attack hi toh tha. Attack toh mujhe aaya tha Panic mein toh Mimi aa gayi thi. Aur main abhi chahati thi ki Sab  log meri wajah se pareshan ho.That's all."

Not entirely convinced, Vansh and Kairav exchanged glances but chose not to press further. Instead, they enveloped Akshara in a group hug, a gesture of solidarity and support.

Just as the moment seemed to mend the frayed edges of emotions, Kartik's voice cut through the air, his tone laced with a mixture of anger and concern.

Kartik (anxiously): "Panic attack? Akshu, Aapne hamein bataya kyun nhi? What happened?"

His eyes, reflecting the fear of the unknown, bore into Akshara, demanding answers that seemed to dance just out of reach.

Akshara (softly): "Papa, it was really nothing. Bas ek halka sa panic attack tha. Main nhi chati ki Sab tension le."

Kartik, torn between relief and frustration, gathered Akshara into his arms, his protectiveness a testament to the depth of his love.

Kartik: "You're our princess, Akshu. Aap hamse kuch Chupa Nahi sakte hain beta. We're here for you, always."

The room, once filled with the echoes of a shared moment, now bore witness to a family navigating the complexities of emotions. As the threads of love, worry, and understanding intertwined, the Goenka home became a sanctuary for healing and reassurance.
