Crossed Paths

Chapter 23:- Break Down!!!

Abhimanyu was looking at Aarohi's hand and was worried looking at her bracelet. Abhimanyu remembered his and Akshara's conversation.

•••••••••••Past Conversation••••••••••

"Abhimanyu, baby, have you seen the bracelet on Aarohi's hand?" Akshara asked with a smirk.

"Yes, the bracelet gifted by Kairav," Abhimanyu said, confused.

"So, let me tell you one thing: the bracelet Aarohi is wearing has a bomb inserted inside it. I need to click a button, and Aarohi will die," Akshara said with a smirk.

"But that bracelet was gifted by Kairav. Then how did you..." Abhimanyu questioned her, looking confused.

"Abhimanyu, from where Kairav bhaiya had gone to order the bracelet was my friend's father's jewelry shop. So, I asked them to make a few changes, like if the bracelet is once tucked, it cannot be opened without the key. And a bomb is inserted in it. Now, do you believe that I am smart?" Akshara said, laughing loudly.

Abhimanyu was shocked after hearing her. He questioned her angrily, "What do you want, Akshara, and why are you doing this?"

"I want you, Abhimanyu Birla. I want to marry you because I love you, and I can do anything to achieve you," Akshara said with the same anger.

"Akshara, love isn't about snatching; love means giving up. And I am not a thing nor your sister that if you want to play with, you will play whatever game you like," Abhimanyu said with anger.

"Leave that, Abhimanyu. But if you love Aarohi and care about her life, then give her a divorce and marry me," Akshara said with a smirk, leaving Abhimanyu looking at her angrily.

••••••••Past Conversation Ends•••••••••

Abhimanyu was looking at her with tears in his eyes, feeling clueless at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Aarohi. I didn't want to do that, but for your safety, I have to," said Abhimanyu, feeling broken.

Aarohi woke up and saw Abhimanyu with tears in his eyes. Abhimanyu quickly left and went to the office. Today, the weather was also not in support of them; it was stormy outside.

Abhimanyu was driving recklessly while Aarohi was sitting on the bed at home.

"Something is really wrong with him. Why is he behaving so oddly since yesterday? What has happened to him? I need to find out," Aarohi said tensely to herself.

After a while, Abhimanyu's call was on her phone, and he asked her to come to the location as soon as possible. Aarohi reached the location and saw Abhimanyu. He was getting wet in the rain while she went to him.

"What happened? Why did you call me here, that too so tensed? Is everything alright?" Aarohi asked, tensed and worried.

"Nothing is fine since I have been living with you. I will go straight forward. I don't like it since you have entered my life. I have forgotten Ritu. You tried to snatch her place in everyone's heart," Abhimanyu said with anger.

Aarohi was looking at him, confused, and said concerned, "What are you saying, Abhimanyu? What have I done? Please tell me what's my fault?"

Abhimanyu took a deep breath and spoke, "Sorry Aarohi, I can't live with you anymore, and I am going to marry Akshara."

Aarohi, confused and shocked at what he said, was looking at him with a lifeless soul. Aarohi was broken at the moment and said, "What do you mean by this? We confessed our love two days ago, and today you are saying that you don't love me."

Aarohi went from there crying, while Abhimanyu was on his knees and crying, thinking about Aarohi.

"Okay, what you told me to do, I have done it. Now promise me you won't do anything with her," Abhimanyu said angrily, looking at a person who came out from behind the tree.

"Wow, Abhimanyu, I wanted this only you have done it. Now, from tomorrow, we will enjoy our marriage preparations, and tomorrow Mimi is also coming," the person said with excitement on their face.

"Akshara, you are not doing good. You will have to pay for this," Abhimanyu warned her with angry eyes, while Akshara was laughing.

Akshara went from there, but Abhimanyu was there crying and thinking about how much hurt he had caused to Aarohi, and how broken she must be.

Meanwhile, Aarohi reached the Goenka house and rang the doorbell. Kairav opened the door and was shocked to see Aarohi's condition. He quickly took her to her room and asked her to change her clothes.

"Aaru, what happened? How did your condition become like this? What has happened? Tell me in detail," Kairav questioned her, looking concerned.

For a minute, Aarohi didn't utter a word. She was remembering all that Abhimanyu had said to her and that he was going to marry Akshara. It broke her into millions of pieces. She looked at her elder brother, who was concerned about her. She took a deep breath and replied, "Nothing, bhaiya. I was missing you, and today I remembered mumma and papa, so tears formed in my eyes," she said, wiping her eyes and looking at her brother with a forced smile so that he wouldn't worry too much.

Kairav, being a supportive brother, always could clearly understand the gravity of the situation. He knew that Aarohi wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't want to talk about anything right now because he could clearly understand that something was bothering his sister. He decided not to reopen the wounds she was trying to avoid and left her alone for some time so that she could relax and not be tense.

Meanwhile, Abhimanyu was in Birla House, throwing things around and being very disturbed. He was shouting and screaming in pain, but no one could grasp the storm raging inside him. He was trying to fight with himself, but his support system was not around him.

"Akshara Goenka, I am not going to leave you. Because of you, tears have formed in Aarohi's eyes. I will never spare you. I will expose you, and soon your true colors will be in front of everyone," Abhimanyu said to himself. His eyes were bloodshot, and anger could clearly be heard in his voice.
