Abhira : Abhinav Sharma
Abhir crashes to the ground, while Abhimanyu processes this bomb that this young girl dropped on them. Then the realisation dawns upon him and he goes through 10 different emotions in a span of 10 seconds. Both him and Abhira look and Abhir shocked and concerned and kneel towards him. Abhimanyu quickly hugs Abhir as he realises that Abhir is having a panic attack. Abhira too notices the panic attack and quickly becomes alert and thinks of how to help Abhir. Abhira remembers the box breathing technique that her Mumma taught her and quickly begins instructing Abhir to breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, breathe out for 4 counts and hold for 4 counts. This calms Abhir and puts a smile on Abhimanyu's face.
Abhira: Abhir Bhaiya, it's okay to get panic attacks. My mumma (gets teary) used to get them often too.
All of Akshara's panic attacks flash before Abhir, Abhira and Abhimanyu.
Abhira: I miss my Mumma so much. I wish she was with me today. I wish that god took me instead of her.
Tries start flowing out of his eyes. He realises that his mom is no longer in this world. Abhimanyu is also shocked but tries to maintain his composure for Akshu's children.
Abhimanyu : What happened to your Mumma?
All of them are on the floor as Abhira narrates the Yuvraj incident, Akshara taking a bullet that was meant for Armaan, Akshara dying and her last wish was for Abhira to get married to Armaan, so that at least someone was responsible for her. Tears continued to flow as all three of them mourned the loss of their Akshu. Abhimanyu embraced Abhira, who continued to sob in his arms. All of them stayed in that position for 10 minutes in silence, processing the loss of the woman they loved the most in the world.
Abhira: I didn't want all of us to end up crying like this uncle and bhaiya.
Abhir: Dada, will you tell her or shall I?
Abhira: Tell me what bhaiya?
Abhimanyu: Abhir, let me do it. Abhira baccha, I want you to listen to what I am saying carefully and then react. Okay princess?
Abhira: Yes uncle!
Abhimanyu: Abhira, first I want you to take out your pendant and open it. {Abhira does the same and for the first time ever in her life opens the pendant and gets shocked to see the picture of a boy on one side and a picture of her papa, Abhinav. She looks up confused at Abhimanyu and wonders about who the boy is}. Baccha, did your mother tell you about her life? About her family?
Abhira: No, never. I only know that my papa was a good man and saved my mom ending her life.
Abhimanyu: Okay, I am now going to show you a photo {He shows a happy picture of him, akshu, abhir and abhinav, Abhira looks more confused.} I know you are not understanding anything but Abhira, your family has found you. Abhir is your elder brother. He is mine and akshara's son. I am Akshara's first husband. You are the daughter of Akshara and Abhinav Ji, her second husband.
Abhira : What? I had a family? I had a brother? Why did mumma hide all this from me? {sobbing}
Abhimanyu : She did not know that we were alive. We looked for Akshu everywhere, but we didn't find her. Now after so many years, we have come back to India and you have found your way to us. You come with us baccha, we are your own. You have a mamu, mami and a cousin sister too. You have more family but we are not in touch with, as they have wronged us and your mumma. You can call me Dada, if you like. No pressure my princess.
Abhira was going through a turmoil. She was happy to be reunited with her brother and his father but so many questions about her mother and her mother's past arose in her mind. All she wanted to do was hug her brother and she did and Abhir hugged her back. Abhimanyu kissed both of their heads and began to walk towards the reception area. The realization hit Abhira like a wave. Her heart pounded in her chest as she processed the information. Her mother's past, the secrets she held, were beginning to unravel.
Abhira: Bhaiya, Uncle..sorry Dada, I will tell Armaan, that I found my family. He will be happy and free now. Even his family will be happy to get rid of me.
Abhir: Okay Abhira, till then we will greet the couple on stage and wait for you near the dessert station.
Abhira: Okay Bhaiya!
As Abhira walked towards Armaan, she heard a loud thud. She turned around and saw that her brother and her dada were on the stage and Ruhi looked like she had seen a ghost and a gift lay on the floor.
Rohit - Ruhii! Is everything okay?
Abhir and Abhimanyu: Ruhi?
Ruhi: Poppy? {looks back and forth between Abhir and Abhimanyu}
The Goenka's who are engrossed in conversation with the Poddars look at the commotion on the stage and get shocked seeing the cause of the commotion. Seeing Abhimanyu and a young handsome boy, they quickly put two and two together and get emotional as the realize that their Abhir is standing in front of them. To protect Ruhi, the broke their relation with Akshu and her kids without realizing the gravity of unfairness they were doing towards their children. They always prioritized Aarohi over Akshara and now again they had prioritized Ruhi over Abhir.
Ruhi (angrily): "So here you are again Abhir after stealing my poppy from me, and you,poppy, you left me! You abandoned me for him!"
Abhimanyu (calmly): "Ruhi, you need to understand the full story. Akshara took the blame for something she didn't do to protect you and I had to prioritize my child, because while you had your Goenkas supporting you, Akshu and Abhir had no one . We were all victims of circumstances."
Ruhi (tears streaming down her face): "Victims? Do you know how it felt to be abandoned? To lose everyone I cared about? And now even my love has decided to marry an orphan girl! Do you know how helpless I feel that I am married to a man that I have no feelings for and his brother, my love is standing right in front of me, with his new wife. Do you know how hard it is to control my urges? Why does everything bad have to happen to me only?"
Abhira (stepping forward): "I'm sorry for your pain, Ruhi. But you have no right to talk to my brother and dada like this and incase you are wondering, my mumma was Akshara Sharma, the same woman who you blamed and still continue to blame for everything. You need to get out of your victim mindset and need to stop lusting for your husband's brother. Also everyone for your information. I am leaving this house with my real family who have found me. I am no longer dependent on the Poddars for anything and now since Armaan is happily single, why don't you divorce your husband and marry his brother instead"
The Goenkas, having overheard the confrontation, tried to talk to Abhir, Abhira and Abhimanyu, but Abhimanyu intervened.
Abhimanyu: Mr Manish Goenka and family, stay away from my children, me and Kairav. We are dead to you. We have been dead to you the moment you let my pregnant wife leave the house in the middle of the night. You are the reason why my Abhir and Abhira had to bear so much pain. Look how Ruhi turned out, just like her mother! You guys deserve everything bad that is coming your way. And Madhav, thank you for inviting me, because I found Akshu and Abhinav Ji's daughter today. Rohit, it's not too late you can divorce Ruhi and find a girl who actually cares for you.
Manish - Abhir Beta, Abhira Beta!
Abhir: "We have nothing to say to you. Your actions caused my mother so much pain. You don't deserve our forgiveness."
Manish (desperately): "Abhir, Abhimanyu, we made mistakes, but we want to make amends. We want to be a family again."
Abhimanyu (coldly): "Family? You abandoned Akshara when she needed you the most. You can't just erase that with apologies."
Abhimanyu: "It's time the truth is known. Akshara was wronged by many, and Abhira has suffered enough. The Goenkas, the Poddars, and Ruhi, it's time to reflect on your actions and understand the pain you've caused."
Abhira (with a determined voice): "My mother was a beacon of strength and love. She didn't deserve the pain she endured. And I won't let her memory be tarnished any longer."
The three of them then left the Poddar Mansion holding hands.
