Abhimanyu's heart raced as his father's sudden call filled him with curiosity. "What's happening with mom and dad?" he wondered. "How do I manage to go home now? No, I can't go!" Abhimanyu's mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts.

Abhi's cry echoed, "Aaah... My leg!!!" Startled, everyone rushed to Abhimanyu, bombarding him with questions.

Akshara exclaimed, "Abhimanyu!!!! Are you okay??" Karthik and Naira chimed in,
"Abhimanyu, what happened??" Abhimanyu, trying to downplay the situation, replied, "No, nothing, just suddenly I got pain in my leg. The house owner threw me out, and I got an injury."

Karthik, concerned, insisted, "Come, child, I'll get you to the room. No, no, you all continue, nothing happened to me." Sensing his need for rest,

Arohi gently said, "I think he needs rest. Come, Abhimanyu, I'll take you to your room," as she caught his arm and guided him slowly.

As they walked, Akshara offered, "I'll help you." Abhimanyu declined, saying, "No, no, I'm okay, Akshara. You continue. I'll get better by listening to your song," he said softly.

Akshara, slightly exasperated, rolled her eyes and replied, "Go get some rest."

Abhimanyu sighed, "Huh! Thank God I got some time and space to say the truth." Arohi questioned, "What does it mean you were lying??"

Abhimanyu explained, "Of course  I got a call from my dad, and it was important, so I didn't have any other option."

Arohi responded, "Okay, okay, you should have told me earlier. My hands are in pain from holding your arms upstairs." Abhi chuckled, "I wanted to check your ability to hold your jija! 'Saali saheba'."

Arohi retorted, "Huh! You haven't seen me yet!! Okay, you talk to your father. I'll talk to you in the morning! Good night, 'jija ji.' You have earned that name!!"

Abhimanyu and Arohi chuckled, and Arohi left the room laughing.

After Arohi left the room, Abhimanyu closed the door and called his father. When his father answered,
Abhimanyu said, "Hello dad, how are you?"

Harsh Birla replied, "Abhimanyu, my child, I'm fine. How are you? And where are you? Your mom mentioned you're at your friend's house for some work."
Abhi responded, "Yeah, dad, it's important office work." Harsh Birla expressed, "Abhi, I'm here after a month, and you didn't even remember I was coming today!"
Abhi apologized, "Sorry, dad, it was urgent, but I'll be there with you by tomorrow evening."
Harsh Birla said, "Okay, beta, take care. Come soon and spend time with your dad too."

As he hung up the call, Abhimanyu began brainstorming and organizing plans for tomorrow's office tasks and returning home. An hour later, Akshara was getting ready to sleep, but her thoughts were solely focused on him. She couldn't rest peacefully as he was unwell. Akshara decided to walk towards his room, wanting to check on him and ensure he was okay.

Akshara, with a mix of worry and curiosity, gazed at him through the room window, hoping to find him well. When he didn't notice her, she cautiously opened the door to check on him. Just as she stepped inside, he emerged from the bathroom, catching her off guard. In a moment of surprise, she almost lost her balance, but Abhimanyu, in a swift and caring move, caught her in his arms.

Akshara and Abhimanyu fell together, with her in his arms, and he wasn't wearing his shirt.
As Akshara opened her eyes, he realized he wasn't wearing his shirt, feeling his chest beneath her hands. Abhimanyu gently brushed her hair away from her face, and they both found themselves lost in each other's eyes, falling into a deep world of connection and emotion.

As they realized they both had fallen they suddenly got up and Akshara said, "What are you doing at this hour without a shirt?"

Abhi replied, "Excuse me, madam, this is my room, for now, I'll be without a shirt or pant, my wish."
