Abhimanyu ka nayaa Jahaan

(+1)

7 MONTHS LATER

*At Abhinav's new house, Jaipur*

Seconds, minutes, hours, days and each week passed away painfully for Abhinav. His mornings started with the memory of Abhir's weight on his chest. His son, no Akshara's son who claimed that he can't sleep well without cuddling his Papa might be cozily laying on his personal luxury room. Abhinav's nights are equally worst as all he could remember was the intimate moments he shared with Akshara for the very first and last time. Every touch and every breath they shared together were painfully etched on his soul. Abhinav angrily wiped the welled up traitor tears threatening to leak.

Abhinav (in his mind): They are not mine now. If they were ever mine, why in the world they'll move on in just a month. I need to get hold of my emotions and stay strong for the upcoming week.

*Flashback - After seeing Abhimanyu weds Akshara welcome board*

Abhinav was aimlessly walking on the road and boarded a bus. His mind supplied him with his and Akshara's first meet. He found himself in the same spot as that of Akshara, six years ago. Heartbroken and Alone. He bought the bus ticket for the last stop which turned out to be Jaipur. He needed some time to gather himself. From the very first moment, he saw Akshara all he did was to support her. If this is the inevitable end of their story, then why did she even played the part of a happy family with him so good that he believed it as the truth. After all the revelation regarding Akshara's first husband and Abhir's Paternity, Abhinav was afraid to loose his family. He got insecure but Akshara wiped that insecurity away. Now Abhinav's questioning everything. Every awkward encounter between ex (or) soon to be (or) present (or) whatever the relationship between Dr. Abhimanyu Birla and Akshara was! Flashes of memories poured on Abhinav like heavy downpour. Their Kasauli home filling with an air of repressed emotions when they met. Akshara cradling an injured Dr. Birla on her lap. If that's not an intimate gesture than what is it called? That time he did not make a fuss, as he was truly worried about bhaiji no Dr. Abhimanyu Birla. But now Abhinav feels like a fool as he fell prey to their love. Abhinav wanted so bad to question their morals and intentions. But he was afraid of the answers he might get that's why he left the Goenka Villa without seeking answers. When Dr. Abhimanyu Birla willing gave up Abhir's custody, he was filled with mixed emotions. He was sad for a father yet the father in him was happy. He wanted to reassure a father of his place in their son's life. Seriously all this mess could have been avoided if Akshara revealed about the paternity truth to the Birla's since her pregnancy but he can't really blame a women for wanting nothing to do with her family who did not stand by her. Also he can't blame the Birla's for mourning their son, Neil.

"She healed. He changed. But what about me?", Abhinav wanted to scream at the world for this unfairness.

The day he fell off the cliff was atleast an accident in his mind. But now he was wondering, was it really an accident? If they are ready to play a happy family despite assuming his death without a body. He'll also reopen his case even if it wretched their built-up happiness.

Abhinav (in his mind): Yes, I'll. Atleast I'll get a closure if not a family.

So Abhinav spent the next seven months working day and night to save up and fight for himself. When he saved up enough for a lawsuit, he'll return to Udaipur.
