Once upon a Time akshnavir

AkshNavir

What if Akshara met Abhinav before Abhimanyu?
What if Akshara and Aarohi are twins
What if Abhinav and Neil was the real sons of Harshvardhan?
What if Manjari forged her pregnancy?
What if Abhimanyu was an adopted child?

Families embrace

The air in Dehradun was crisp, filled with the scent of pine and the distant echoes of laughter from children playing outside. Akshara sat on her bed, her heart heavy with the weight of her mother's death and the blame that hung like a storm cloud over her. At just 14, she felt the world closing in on her.

Her twin sister, Arohi, had made it clear that she held Akshara responsible for their mother's passing. The rift between them tore at Akshara's heart, leaving her feeling isolated and lost. Kairav, their older brother, had moved in with her. At 19, he was struggling to hold the family together, but the tension was palpable.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Akshara found Kairav in the living room, staring out of the window, deep in thought.

**"Kairav,"** she said softly, her voice trembling. **"Can we talk?"**

He turned to her, his face weary but kind. **"Of course, Akshu. What's on your mind?"**

**"I miss Udaipur. I miss home. I feel like... like we're all just drifting apart."** Tears welled in her eyes. **"Arohi... she doesn't understand me. She thinks I did it on purpose."**

Kairav sighed, running a hand through his hair. **"I know it's hard. But moving back might not be the best idea right now. Arohi needs time."**

**"But we need you, Kairav! You're the glue holding us together. Without you, it feels like everything is falling apart."**

Akshara's voice cracked, and Kairav felt a pang in his heart. He had seen the pain in her eyes, the loneliness that overshadowed her youth.

**"What if we go back? Just for a visit? Maybe it'll help Arohi see things differently,"** she pleaded. **"We can't keep living like this."**

Kairav looked at his sister, her earnestness piercing through his reservations. He had always been protective of Akshara, and the thought of her suffering made him reconsider.

**"Okay, let's go back for a few days. But we have to be careful. Arohi is still hurting,"** he finally agreed.

The next day, they packed their bags and set off for Udaipur. The journey was filled with a mixture of hope and anxiety, each sibling lost in their thoughts.

As they arrived, the familiar sights of their childhood flooded over them, but the atmosphere was thick with unspoken words. Arohi was at home, her eyes filled with defiance as she met Akshara's gaze.

**"What are you doing back here?"** Arohi snapped, her voice sharp.

**"We came to talk,"** Kairav interjected, stepping in front of Akshara. **"We need to sort this out as a family."**

Akshara took a deep breath, her heart racing. **"Arohi, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I loved Mom just as much as you did. I would never hurt her on purpose."**

Arohi's expression softened for a moment, but the anger was still present. **"Then why did you get to leave? Why did you get to escape?"**

**"It wasn't an escape,"** Akshara said gently. **"I thought it would help us, help you. I just wanted to be better."**

Kairav watched as Akshara's vulnerability began to break down the walls between them. Arohi's defenses wavered, and for the first time, he saw a flicker of understanding in her eyes.
