Abhimanyu and Akshara reached home after the ride of 20 minutes. The whole way Abhimanyu didn't speak a single word. Akshara tried to talk to him, but he remained unresponsive. Akshara managed to placate Harsh a little at least. Since both her right hand and leg were in cast she was planning with Harsh how to do her daily chores. 

"Papa, aaj kya date hai", asked Akshara.

"30th, beta", replied Harsh.

"Ohh!! aaj se toh bachon ke shool ki holidays shuru hone wali hai. Mai ab kaise sambhaloongi unhe", said Akshara aloud, hoping to get some reaction from Abhimanyu.

"Beta, tum tension mat lo. Manjari hai na woh dekh legi unhe. Tum bas apna dhyan rakho", said Harsh casually.

"Papa, apko pta hai na humare ghar mai 6 bache hai. Woh maa ko pagal kr denge. Unhe sirf maa akele nhi sambhal sakti hai. Maine isiliye aaj se academy se off bhi liya tha but sab bekar ho gya", said Akshara dramatically. Abhi rolled his eyes at his wife's dramatic antics.

"Don't worry kuch na kuch soch lenge hum", said Harsh. He is also thinking about the same thing. How they will manage 7 kids at home? Right now, Akshara is also the part of kids team. She will definitely throw tantrums at this time. She is the worst patient. He looked at the mirror and saw Abhi was also thinking about the same thing.

"Ek kaam krte hai unhe bade papa aur badi mumma ke pass bhej dete hai. Woh apne aap sambhal lenge unhe", said Akshara happily. She is so happy like she has given the best idea in this world.

"Sirf bachon ko hi kyun tumhe bhi whi chod ate hai. Jab tum theek ho jaoongi tab wapis aa jana", said Abhi sarcastically. Akshara's eyes glimmered with hope. This idea is really good. The Goenkas will not be that strict with her. She will eat whatever she wants and do whatever she wants.

"Sach mai", asked Akshara hopefully.

"Shut up! Akshara. Mujhe aur gussa mat dilao", said Abhi loudly shattering her dreams.

"Hitler", mumbled Akshara under her breath. Abhi gave her a look and she kept quiet. She put a finger on her lips. They reached home. Abhi got out of the car and took Akshara in his arms. Unfortunately, everyone was sitting in the hall when Abhi reached home with Akshara in his arms.

"Akshu, kya hua hai beta tujhe. itni chot kaise lgi tujhe", asked Manjari worriedly. She immediately rushed to her side. 

"Mumma, aap ko kya hua hai", said Anaira and started crying loudly. She never saw her mother covered in bandages ever.

"Neil", said Abhi and took Akshara to his room without giving a reply to anyone. Neil immediately went behind Abhi whereas Harsh and others were trying to console Anaira and Abhir. Harsh also tells the family about Akshu's accident.

"Abhi yeh kya tha. Aanu kitna ro rhi thi. At least use chup toh krvane dete", asked Akshara when Abhi put her on the bed. He fluffed the pillows behind her and covered her with the duvet. Abhi gave her a look and she knew she would not get any answer from him.

"Ji bhai", asked Neil as he entered in Abhira's room.

"Neil, Birla Hospital se ek lab technician ko bula le. Akshara ke sare test krvane hai. Aur dietician ko bhi bula le, woh Akshara ki diet fix kr dengi. Aaj se Akshara sirf usi ke hisab se diet legi", Abhi announced this. Akshara winced every time he took her full name. She knew this time it would be a tough task to pacify him.

"Ok bhai, mai bula leta hoon. Pr bhabhi ko hua kya hai", asked Neil worriedly.

"Accident ho gya hai madam ji ka, kyuki unhone ne breakfast nhi kiya tha", said Abhi angrily. Before, Neil reacted to this news Anaira and Abhir rushed to Akshara crying loudly.

"Mumma aap ko kya hua hai. Apko itni owwies kaise ho gyi", asked Anaira while crying hugging her mother's chest.

"Aanu, stop crying betu. Mumma theek hai, bas thodi si lagi hai", said Akshara calmly.

"Yeh thodi si hai mumma. Are you serious? Apko do plaster lage hai. Aur apke forehead pr bhi stitches aye hai. Yeh apko thodi si lagti hai", said Abhir angrily. He heard how his mother got into the accident and from that time onwards he was upset with her. How can she be so careless about her health?

"Betu, ab aap bhi mumma ko dantoge. Ek toh mujhe pehle se hi itni lagi hui hai aur aaplog ho ki jo mujhe daant rhe ho", said Akshara while crying. She hugged Anaira and both mother-daughter started crying loudly.

"Badi mumma, aap ro kyun rhe ho", asked Ruhi when she entered the room with Shivansh.

"Kyuki apke bade papa aur Abhir bhaiya mujhe daant rhe hai. Ek toh mujhe pehle se hi itni lagi hui hai pr pyar krne ki jagah yeh log mujhe daant rhe hai", replied Akshara. Looking at her favourite sister and aunt crying, Ruhi also started crying. She went on the bed in Akshara's embrace and started crying with the duo too. Akshara tried to take girls' in her team.

"Bhai yeh kya ho rha hai", Neil whispered in Abhi's ears.

"Nautanki", said Abhi. Abhir and Shivansh stood beside Abhimanyu and shook their heads at the girls' drama. 

"Enough. No more crying. Aanu kuch nhi hua hai mumma ko. Aap teeno yeh bahar ka jo ganda khana khate ho na momos, chow mien, burger, bhel yeh sab usi ki wajah se hua hai", said Abhi.

"Hain? Bade papa woh sab toh bahut tasty hota hai", said Ruhi confusedly.

"Yes, Rooh woh tasty hota hai but healthy nhi hota hai. Use bones weak ho jati hai. Aapko pta hai badi mumma ko kisi car ne halka sa push kiya aur unke hands or legs ki bones toot gyi", said Abhi. The girls got scared hearing that. 

"Papa, aap sach bol rhe ho?" asked Anaira.

"Yes, princess papa kabhi apse jooth bolte hai kya", asked Abhi. He kneeled in front of his daughter and looked her eye to eye. Anaira shook her head.

"Yeh bahar ka ganda khane se bones weak ho jati hai. Mumma ko agar hume theek krna hai toh unhe bahar ka kuch bhi khane dena hai. And ab hume mumma ko special homemade food dena hoga, tabhi mumma theek hogi. Socho aaj halke se push se mumma ki two bones toot gyi, agar zor se dhaka de diya toh", said Abhi. Both the girls shuddered at that thought. 

"No!!!" the girls shouted.

"Papa, abse hum mumma ko bahar ka bilkul bhi khane nhi denge. Unhe whi khane ko denge jo Dida banyegi", said Anaira hurriedly.

"Aanu, aap bhi mumma ke sath aisa karoge", said Akshara emotionally.

"Mumma, no crying. Papa is right. Apki bones weak ho gyi hai unhe phir se strong banana hoga. Toh base no outside food. Mai apko woh cup noodles bhi nhi khane doongi, na hi ice cream sandwich, aur woh Korean Ramen noodles toh bilkul bhi nhi", said Anaira. She is worried about her mother's well-being.

"Haa, badi mumma ab se aap sirf wahi khana khaoge jo bade papa khate hai. Dekho na bade papa kitne strong hai. Aapko bhi unke jaisa strong ban na hai", announced Roohi.

"Well done bachon. Ab se aapko mere soldiers ban na hai aur Akshara ka dhyan rakhna hai. Kaun banega mera soldier", asked Abhi and all the kids raised their hands. Abhi looked at Akshu joyously. His army is ready, now he will feed her karela, lauki along with all the healthy sh*t.

Akshu gives evil eyes to him. He smartly took all the kids on his side. Now, how will she escape that food terror?
