Abhishek parked the car on the car porch, stepped out of the car, took Afsa from his dad with a blank expression, and strode towards his room silently.

His mom sighed but at least she was grateful that he didn't make any scene today.

He fed Afsa the formula milk, changed her outfit to a night suit. He placed her head on his shoulder and bobbled her slightly in a vertical direction until she fell into a deep slumber while all that time his eyes were fixed on the photo frame hanged on the wall in front of him.

After some time he placed afsa on the bed and went near the photo frame, the photo of him and Sara which was taken on their wedding. Anybody could say that they were so much in love after seeing the glint in their eyes and heart-warming smile.

FLASHBACK:

"Abbu samjha kar", his mom said.

"Na, mummy aap samjhe please. Zulm nahi kr saktha mein kisi k sath. Main kisi ki zindagi kharab nahi krna chahta. Aap or main hum dono yeh jantai hain ki main usko kabi accept nahi kar sakunga ".

"Beta think about your daughter she is growing up, she needs a mother. Don't be selfish."

"I'm selfish? sorry to say that mom but for your own kids you are getting selfish, knowing the fact that your this act will just destroy someone's life nothing else. If you think Afsa needs a mother, her mother will be Sara only Sara. I can't trust anyone else".

His mother understood she doesn't have any other way to make him say "Yes". She knew whatever she is going to do was selfish but for the sake of her son and Grand-daughter, she was ready to do any thing.

She came forward took his hand placed it on her head and said "Abhishek tujhe meri qasm hai beta....please try to understand."

Abhishek was shocked, he didn't know his mother will ever force her to this extend. He blankly looked towards his mother. His eyes glinted with unreadable emotion, his cheeks stained with tears. He just nodded in reply and left the place hurriedly.

Flash back ends.

The circumstances had made him extremely restless, causing havoc in his mind and heart. He wanted to mourn over his loss but couldn't. He just wanted to spend his whole life with Sara's memories and their precious child Afsa, the memo of their LOVE.

Previously he had made a mental note that if he couldn't deny his mom now he would pressurize the girl to back off from the marriage, but today after meeting Sir Manoj Kumar who he had always respected as a father, caused chaos in his mind even furthermore. He was hopeful that Sir Manoj would back off from the proposal.

Seeing him in pain was killing his mom as well. It was not like she has forgotten her lovely daughter-in-law but deep down she knew a beautiful soul like Sara would have said the same to Abhishek if she had the slightest idea of her death. She would have always preferred a happy Abhishek just like his mother. Leaving Abhishek in this situation means leaving him in eternal pain and sorrow which would be painful for Afsa as well.

She knew she was being selfish but after meeting Manisha at the function, an unknown hope arose in her heart.

She got Manisha's personal information and her home landline number through a mutual friend.

She was hopeful and praying for a positive response after meeting her family.

Manisha was passing by the lounge when unintentionally she heard the conversation of her family.

"Manisha is too young and mentally unprepared for the marriage let alone to take the responsibilities of a kid. I think you should deny the proposal politely. I won't blame anyone because as parents we both are very well aware of how it feels to see your kids going through this situation", Dada ji said looking at his son manoj.
