The next day, after having breakfast, Abhimanyu and Akshara left for Birla house to take their things and also clear some issues between them. Abhimanyu was reluctant to go but Akshara made him understand that they had to face them sooner or later even for one last time.
They rang the doorbell and waited for someone to come open the door. They were not at all surprised to see Manjari open the door and take Abhimanyu in her embrace. He just stood still with his hands on his sides. He had enough of her changing moods and now he won't let her hamper his recovery which was all because of his wife.
"Kahan chala gaya tha tu beta? Kitni baar phone kiya tune uthaya bhi nahi."
"Aur kya bolta? Jis samay mujhe zaroorat thi tab toh aap chup khadi rahi ab baad mein phone karne ka kya fayda?"
Sensing that Abhimanyu was about to lose his calm any moment, Akshara squeezed his hand, bringing his attention to her she said, "Abhi please shant ho jao. Hum yahan iss waqt kyon aaye hain uspe focus karte hain. Apne aap ko stress mat do."
"Aray apne ghar koi kisi wajah se aata hai kya? Mere bete ko apni tarah mat banao. Tum kya samjhogi yeh dard." Manjari shed some crocodile tears and hearing her, almost everyone present in the house came downstairs.
Without sparing her a glance Abhimanyu left for his room to pack up his and Akshara's things and leave as soon as possible. Akshara decided that it was high time now and she would speak her mind. It was up to them if they took her advice or not.
Neil tried to go after him as he realized that he had gone over the top but was unable to due to Arohi's hold on his arm. Being the gullible person that he is, Neil started to caress her hair as she told him that she was still disturbed and tired after whatever happened the previous night.
"Abhi…. Yeh aise bina kuch kahe hi upar kyun chala gaya? Tum kya chahti ho Akshara?"
"Aap baat-baat pe mujhe kyon blame kar rahi hain maa? Meri kya galti hai? Kya kiya hai maine? Aapke bete ke sath khadi rahi, use sambhala, support kiya, apne pyaar ke liye apni pehchan tak bhool gayi, kya yeh galti hai meri? Kyon kuch bhi hota hai toh saara blame mere ya mere husband ke upar aa jata hai? Kyon sirf hum dono har baar baat ko sambhalne ki koshish kare? Hum bhi insaan hai maa, humein bhi bura lagta hai, hum bhi kuch feel karte hain. Please hume robots samajhna band kijiye aap sab! Aur yahan par jo koi bhi hai woh achhe se janta hai main kiski baat kar rahi hu."
"Bhashan toh achha de diya tumne Akshara, neta ban jati, singer kyon bani? Tum achhi tarah se janti ho tum kya kar rahi ho. Tum mere bete ko apne paas rakhna chahti ho, sirf apna banakar; hum sab se door, uski apni, 'sagi' maa se door. Tum mera dard samjhogi bhi nahi tum khud toh maa ho nahi aur pata nahi ban paogi bhi ya nahi. Mere bete ki life mein ab problems ke alawa kuch bacha bhi hai ya nahi!" Manjiri cribbed, shocking everyone with her choice of words.
"Manjari, stop it. Yeh kya bole ja rahi ho tum? Aray kabhi toh soch samajh kar bola karo." Harshwardhan spoke and held Akshara by her shoulders as soon as he saw her stumbling.
“Bas kijiye aap Mrs. Birla. Kabhi khud ko dekha hai? Jab sab aap ke hisab se hota hai toh meri wife aapki beti, ghar ki laxmi aur lucky charm ban jati hai lekin jaise hi thodi si bhi inconvenience ho jaye toh wahi lucky charm mere liye bad luck ban jati hai?
Bolna toh nahi chahta tha, socha tha ki bas apna saman pack karke ek light note pe yahan se chala jaunga lekin bhool gaya tha ki yahan toh ek thake hue insaan ko paani tak bina tamashe ke Naseeb nahi hota. Toh aaj saari baat khatam karke hi jaate hain.” Abhimanyu said, exasperated.
"Yeh tu kaisi baatein kar raha hai beta? Kal jo bhi hua uss wajah se tu ghar chhor kar jaa raha hai? Aray na-samajh hai Neil abhi bhi, itna bhi bada nahi hua hai jo usski galti ki tu itni badi saza de hum sabko."
"Exactly maa, bada hi nahi hua hai abhi tak. Koi bhi aake do-chaar baatein bata jata hai ise aur yeh apne hi logon ko galat samajh leta hai. Itni mehnat se meri Akshu ne proofs collect kiye the taki teri life barbad hone se bach jaye lekin nahi tujhe toh shaukh tha na kuye mein koodne ka…. Toh bhugat ab.
Aur rahi yahan se jaane ki baat toh let me clear one thing, main sirf kal ki wajah se nahi ja raha hu. Yeh unn sabhi baaton ka result hai jo main bachpan se sehta aaya hu. Mujhe nahi lagta hai ki koi bhi mere iss dard ko samajh payega so it's better main apni energy, time and feelings aur waste na karu. Jisko jo karna hai woh kare, jaise rehna hai waise rahe bas mujhse aur meri wife se door rahe.
Inn sabki wajah se humare rishte ne jo kuch bhi Saha hai main nahi chahta woh dobara ho. Mere liye mera rishta inn sab drama se zyada important hai. Bas itna kahunga, all the best aap sabko kyonki abhi toh bas shuruat hi hui hai. Chalo Akshu."
Abhimanyu asked the staff to bring their bags and he walked out of the mental zoo with Akshara, hand in hand. Now no more interference from the toxic people around them, no more dodging evil plans created by their own family; together they will start a new journey, just them in their own little world.
