"Akshu wake up . . .We need to leave." Akshara opened her eyes as she heard Abhi's soft voice.

She blinked to twice to make sense of the surrounding. 

Slowly everything came to her mind. The rain, the break down, them seeking shelter in the hut, she drinking water . . .wait. 

She got blacked out after that!

"Abhi what happened yesterday? I can't remember anything."

"Akshu, I am sorry. The thing you drank yesterday was not water, it was alcohol.'

"What?"

Shit! Did I said or did something yesterday unconsciously?

"I am sorry. I should have checked properly before giving it to you . . ."

"No Abhi. That's fine. I know you didn't do it on purpose but . ."

"But what Akshu?"

"Did I do something yesterday?" she asked hesitantly.

Oh yes, you did a lot of things baby . . .

"Hey, no. Never. You slept as soon as you drink that thing yesterday." he lied intentionally.

Thank God!

"Akshu, I called someone this morning and they will come and repair the car. As of now, let's go back in the cab."

"Yaa, sure."

He helped her to get up. Her head was hurting badly. They  waited for the cab and it came in next 15 minutes.

"Akshu, you do something. Come home and take a aspirin. I will drop you home after that."

Akshu nodded her head as she badly needed a medicine.

They came back to his penthouse. While Akshu took some rest after taking the medicines, Abhi got freshen up. Abhi decided not to disturb a tried Akshu and decided to go through some of Akshay's stuffs.

He was in his study, reading all the letters that Akshay wrote for Aarti. A small smiled came on his face.

He was indeed a romantic boyfriend . . .

But his smiled vanished as soon as he read the next letter . . .

"Abhi what are you doing?" Akshara came there looking for Abhi.

"Akshu, you are up? I had arranged some cloths for you to change."

"Yes Abhi, I got them. . . By the way, what are you doing here?"

Abhi said nothing and showed the letter to Akshu. She went through it.

My heart never ached like this . . .

You were my sunshine; you were my moonlight . . .

Loving you was my greatest blessing . . .

Once in a while, I always kept thinking . . .

Can we go back and change the time ? ? ? 

Kisses you gave me and the smiles I gave you . . 

Eternally and Soulfully;

To mine and mine only!!!

Akshu understood the pain hidden in those words. The date said that he wrote it after her death.

"He was missing her. He always loved her truly!"

Akshu looked up and saw Abhi thinking about something seriously.
