Akshara cursed her fate that she met abhimanyu again, while abhimanyu was so overwhelmed that he saw akshara after many years but devastated seeing she moved on and had a kid too.
He had tried for 6 years but never able to move on.
His only support system was ruhi.
Akshara served water to abhimanyu, he hesitated but took it.
He looked at the photo frames of them, and felt a pang of pain.
She looked at his gaze.
Akshu(mind) : hey kanha ji, mere pariwar ko ab nazar mat lagne dena, jitna bura hona tha ho chuka ab bass...
Abhinav : bhai ji aap achanak matlab aapne kaha tha ki aap nahi aa payenge.
Akshu(mind) : na aata toh accha hota aur yeh bada bhai ji bhai ji kar rahe hai agar pata hota ki inke dilwale sir ji abhimanyu hoga toh pehle hi mana kar deti.
Abhi : haa woh maine aapse promise kiya tha ki main aaunga toh phir...
Akshu(mind) : arey wah keh toh aise raha hai jaise pehle bade apne promises nibhaye hai.
Abhi : yeh aap sab ke liye.
He gave them gifts.
Abhinav : iski kya zaroorat thi bhai ji...
Akshu(mind) : haa iski zarurat nahi hai bass humare mehnat ke paise de do wahi better hoga, aur jitna jaldi ho sake yaha se chale jao.
Abhi : aapne mere liye itna kuch kiya toh uske saamne toh yeh kuch nahi hai please.
Abhinav : thankyou... waise uss din abhir ne jo kiya uske liye sorry ji.
Abhi : koi baat nahi aapka baccha bohot brave hai aur bohot cute bhi, yaha aao.
Akshara got anxious.
Abhir went to him, he gave him chocolates..
Abhi : abhir...
Abhir : abhir abhinav sharma.
Akshara smiled.
Abhinav : bohot late ho gaya hai khana kha lete hai.
He nodded.
They sat for dinner.
Akshara served him with anxiety and then served to abhinav and abhir.
She sat beside abhinav.
Abhinav served her making her smile.
They all started having dinner.
Abhinav was feeding abhir.
Suddenly akshara started coughing.
Abhimanyu was going to her when he saw abhinav rubbing her back and she had water.
Abhinav : aap thik hai ab..?
She nodded.
After dinner,
Abhi : yeh aapke paise, sorry main pehle nahi de paaya.
Abhinav : arey koi baat nahi bhai ji, aur haa aapko kabhi bhi koi bhi zarurat ho toh bata dena.
Akshu(mind) : kanha ji kare isse kabhi zarurat na pade ab.
Abhi : main chalta hu, accha sharma ji woh main do din hu abhi yaha toh soch raha hu ki sight seeing kar ki lu toh agar aapko koi problem na ho toh, paiso ki tension mat lijiye woh main de dunga.
Abhinav : arey kaisi baat kar rahe hai bhai ji, ab aap bilkul nishchint ho jao aapko pura himachal dikhana meri zimmedari.
Abhi : thank you main chalta hu.
He looked at akshara and left.

At night,
Akshara was standing near the window.
She felt a hand on her shoulder.
Abhinav : kya soch rahi hai aap, sona nahi hai.
Akshu : woh neend nahi aa rahi hai.
Abhinav : kyu ji sab thik hai na aapki tabiyat toh thik hai na.
Akshu : haa bass thoda thak gayi thi.
Abhinav : haa bhai ji aane wale the isiliye aap subah se lagi hui thi.
She got irritated.
Akshu : aap apne bhai ji ke raag japna bandh karenge ab...
She snapped at him making him shocked, she realised.
Akshu : sorry abhinav woh main...
Abhinav : akshara ek baat puchu?
She got scared but nodded.
Abhinav : pehle aapko woh pasand nahi the kyuki humare paise atke hue the lekin ab toh unhone paise de diye hai toh kya hua, main isse pehle kai tourists ko ghar laya hu, aap unke sath ghul mil jaati thi baatein karti thi aur jam bechti thi unhe, lekin aaj aap bilkul chup thi kuch hua hai kya.
Akshu : aisa kuch nahi hai woh bass thoda headache tha isiliye.
Abhinav : accha, main dawai lekar aata hu aapke liye.
He was going but she held his hand.
Abhinav : kya hua?
To his utter shock,
She hugged him tightly.
In his wildest dreams he never thought that akshara would hug him.
His heartbeats were not normal, it was like his heart would come out.
With the shivering hands, he hugged her back.
Abhinav : kya hua akshara..?
Akshu : aap hume chod ke toh nahi jayenge na.
Abhinav : aisa kyu keh rahi hai main kaha jaunga..??
She broke the hug,
Akshu : aap mujhse wada kijiye aap hume chod kar kahi nahi jayenge.
Abhinav : kya ho gaya hai aapko, aap dono se hi toh main hu, apni zindagi ko chod kar koi kaise jaa sakta hai, main aapse wada karta hu ki main aapko aur nikke ji ko chod kar kabhi nahi jaunga, wada ji.
She smiled.
Abhinav : ab so jaiye bohot thaki hui lag rahi hai aap.
She nodded.
