Birla House
Morning
Abhi and Akshu was playing with a 6 month old Abhir.
Akshu- Abhir look over here mumma is here
Abhi- No junior don't look there look at papa. See papa is over here
Abhir was laughing at his parents fighting. When Akshu phone rang. Akshu pick the call.
Akshu- Hello, Sneha Hii how are you long time you called.
Akshu- What okay I'll come.
Akshu: "Abhi, I need to meet my friend. I'll be back soon. Take care of our little one."
Abhi- Akshu kya baat hain Akshu sab thik toh hai. You were sounding tense.
Akshu- Abhi tum fikar mat karo sab thik hai actually Sneha meri friend uski naa thodi tabiyat kharab hai and she all alone at her home. So she was asking ki main aakar usse ek baar mil lu.
Abhi- thik hai tum milkar aao.
Saying this she left.
Late Evening
Abhir cries was echoing in the entire mansion. Abhi was continuously calling Akshu but his calls were not answered.
Manjari- Abhi beta kya hua kuch pata chala. Akshu ka phone laga kya. Abhir ka ro ro kar bura haal hain mujhe toh fikar ho rahi hai. Pata nahi kaha hogi. Kahi kuch ho toh nahi gaya hoga naa.
Abhi- Nahi maa meri Akshu ko kuch nahi hua hoga aap log fikar mat kariye aa jayegi woh. Mera dil kehta hai ki woh thik hain.
While night everyone was searching Akshu like mad people. They also went to her friend house but came to know she left in the morning itself.
Next morning,
Abhi was at home again trying Akshu phone. He was searching for whole night and even informed the police of her being missing. Manjari came taking Abhir in her arms crying.
Manjari- Abhi kuch pata chala Abhir ka ro ro ke bura haal hain. Bichara maa ki godh ko tadap raha hai tu thodi der isse sambhal taki isse kuch rahat toh mile.
Saying this she gave Abhir in Abhi arms and Abhir stopped crying and at the same time his phone rings displaying Akshu name. He picked the phone.
Abhi- Akshu kaha ho yaar kitni fikar ho rahi hain humme tumhari. Abhir kal se uska ro ro ke bura haal hai.
Stranger- Hello
Abhi- Hello kon aap kon hain aur meri biwi ka phone aapke pass kya kar raha hain.
Stranger: "Sir ji aapki biwi ka shayad car accident ho gaya hai ye xyz road par. Mujhe toh ye us gadi ke pass mila tha ye phone. Main hawaldaar hu. Humme accident ki khabar mili toh hum aaye the yaha pata karne. Aap dekh lijiye aakar ki aapki biwi ki car hai yaa phone yaha par sirf gir gaya hain?"
Abhi's world shattered. He screamed her name, hoping it was a cruel joke. With trembling hands, he hung up and rushed towards the accident site, leaving behind a shocked Manjari and Neil and Ansh.
Manjari: "Abhi, wait! What happened?"
Abhi: "Akshu had an accident. I need to see her."
Manjari and the others tried to stop him, pleading for him to reconsider.
Manjari: "Beta, let's wait for more information. Don't go alone."
Abhi: "I can't wait. I need to see her."
Ignoring the pleas, Abhi and Neil hurried to the accident site. The darkened road held the remnants of a tragedy – Akshu's car in flames, a body inside.
Neil: "No, this can't be happening."
Abhi stood there in disbelief, tears streaming down his face.
Abhi- Akshu
He screamed loudly and ran towards the burnt car. Neil and the other inspector holding him down. He falls on his knees and keep on taking Akshu name in hope of that she will return.
Abhi- No inspector aapko kuch galat fehmi hui hai ye meri akshu ho hi nahi sakti. Abhi toh usse kitna kuch dekhna tha humare Abhir ko bada hote dekhna tha. Aap ek baar phir check kijiye aapse koi galti hui hogi. Mera dil kehta hai voh ab bhi hai yahi kahi zinda hai voh.
Inspector- No Mr. Birla aapki wife ki death ho chuki hai. Hum aapke halat samjh sakte hain.
Abhi- Nahi samjh sakte hai aapke saamne koi aapki biwi ki marne ki khabar nahi de raha hai.
The harsh reality sank in as they returned home to break the devastating news to the family.
Manjari: "Where's Akshu? Why is Abhi crying?"
Neil: "Maa, Bhabhi... she's gone. There was an accident."
Manjari's world crumbled as she clutched Abhir, who sensed the somber atmosphere and began to cry. Aarohi and Krishna, hearing the news, broke down in Neil and Ansh's arms.
Aarohi: "How can this happen Neil? It's impossible meri behan zinda hai woh Neil. Aise kaise chali gayi woh. Are usne promise kiya tha ki hum aapne bachee sath main palenge aur voh chali gayi. No not possible."
Krishna: "Meri behan chali gayi. Kyu main us se badi hu ansh jaana toh pehle mujhe tha.
Ansh- Krishna.
Krishna- Nahi ansh meri behan chali gayi. Pehle Maa pa chale gaye aur ab Akshu. Kyu bhagwan hum se hi sabko kyu chin raha hain duniya main itne log hain unhe uthao. Har baar humara ghar hi kyu."
Abhi, silent and grief-stricken, retreated to his room. Locking the door, he clutched Akshu's picture, tears staining its surface.
Abhi (whispering): "Why did you leave me, Akshu? How will I raise Abhir without you? Abhi toh humme kitna kuch karna tha. Tumne kaha tha naa hum humare baby ko saath main milkar palenge. Kyu chali gayi tum Akshu. Kyu bhagwan ko daya nahi aati. Aare mere liya naa sahi kamse kam us bache ke baare main toh sochte ki voh kaise jiyega.
Ye tumne thik nahi kiya akshu. Apne saare vachan todkar chali gayi. Par mera dil kyu kehta hai ki tum ho kahi na kahi ho par ho.
His cries echoed in the silence, a symphony of pain and loss. The room, once filled with joy, now bore witness to heart-wrenching sorrow.
Outside, the family grappled with the harsh reality of Akshu's absence. Manjari, holding Abhir, felt the weight of concern for her grandson's future.
Manjari: "How will Abhi cope with this? He loved Akshu so much."
The house, once vibrant with laughter, now stood in the shadow of an irreparable loss. The grief-stricken family clung to each other, finding solace in shared tears and shared memories of the vibrant soul that had departed too soon.
