Abhira Family-Volume 2

Solace in your arms

Timeline:- After the gopi mask festival, Abhimanyu confessed his feelings for her but she was not sure at that time so she declined his advances towards her. No Tilak fiasco happened here. There was no confusion among brides as things didn't reach the family.

It's been a month since Akshara is working in the hospital as a therapist. She loved working here. The staff was so nice to her, particularly the interns with whom she interacted regularly. She loved singing, it was her passion but when it comforts people during their tougher times, was her biggest achievement. Being a music therapist, she got more in touch with music and its effects on people.

She was going towards the music room where her first session was scheduled when she saw him. The man who has evaded her sleep for the past two months - Abhimanyu Birla. She knew she should not dream about him, she should not even think about him after she had broken his heart but she could not control her mind. 

He met her in the restaurant to confess his feelings and asked her whether she loved him or not. Akshara was shocked at that moment. She was shocked when he asked her that. She was not sure of her feelings so, she declined him politely. The moment she shook her head, he left that matter there only. He behaved like she didn't exist for him. Even after, she joined the hospital; he behaved very formally with her. He treats her like every other employee. 

"Good morning, sir", Akshara greeted him. Abhimanyu nodded his head and went towards his cabin. She sighed at this formal behaviour of him. She wished she could erase that day from her life, but alas we could not get everything we wished.

She went to the music room and arranged her instruments in the room like she did every day. "Akshara", Harshavardhan Birla called her. She turned and saw him standing with some papers in hand.

"Yes sir", replied Akshara. 

"There is some change in your schedule today. Your third session has been cancelled", he informed her. She didn't say anything letting him complete what he had to say first. "You have a solo session for the minister's wife during that time. Minister sir is a very important client of this hospital. I don't want any problems in that session. Got it". Harsh went from there even before she could reply. 

Akshara sighed. She found solo sessions pretty boring. She loved open house sessions, where anyone can come can listen to her music. Sometimes, people joined her in singing too. These sessions really make her day. But now what can she do? Boss's orders need to be followed.

Akshara successfully completed her first session. It was an open house session, just what she wanted to start her day. Her next session is with old age people. She loved their company too, but sometimes they can be a little harsh to her. They can be a tad bit opinionated. So, she stayed in her bubble while conducting that session.

"Hello, everyone. Good morning. So, any requests from your side", asked Akshara from her patients. She was noting down particular requests of the patients when Abhimanyu Birla entered the music room. Akshara looked upwards and saw him standing at the corner of the room. Akshara gave him a small smile and he nods his head. He attended some sessions of her. He can't resist her singing, how much he tries. So, he attended some sessions, keeping everything strictly professional.

"So, we will start the session with the song you guys liked the most", said Akshara and started singing her and Abhimanyu's favourite song.

"Kuch paakar khona hai, kuch khokar paana hai
Jeevan ka matlab to aana aur jaana hai
Do pal ke jeevan se ek umr churaani hai
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Teri meri kahaani hai
Ek pyar ka nagma hai, maujon ki ravaani hai
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Teri meri kahaani hai"
