Abhimaan: Life of Love

Part 11

Mumbai

Abhira woke up little late than her usual time as she was talking with her Khadusmaan whole night. She was startled to see that the time is 10:00am and why didnt her Nani wake her up. She then got ready and went downstairs to find her awesome family chatting. She straight went and hugged Kirthi asking her "Nani why didnt you wake me up its too late" for which Kirthi smiled and replied "Its the pregnancy effects as in the early stages the girl will sleepy and weariness always" so she didn't want to disturb her also she knew that she missed her husband terribly which could have made her awake whole night for which Abhira blushed. Now it was Anaya's turn to tease her sister " Abhira how long were u guys talking or should I say romancing over the call? Is my Jiju missing you the same way too?"Abhira glared at Anaya for putting her in an embarrassing situation in front of Nanu and nani. Its not that Anaya asked some personal or quirky question but what to do when she cant control herself when she hears her Khadusmaan's name and she end up blushing like cherry tomatoes giving way for everybody's teasing.

Kirthi pulled Abhira to the breakfast table to feed her food. She had made her favorite Kachoris and was about to feed her the first bite but Abhira denied eating them as she didnt like to have any food now. But Naksh came there to divert her with his talks in the mean time Kirthi feeded her kachoris and also fruits. As Abhira was engrossed in Naksh's Stories she didnt even realise that she is being fed. Once Kirthi has completed her task of feeding Abhira that's when Naksh stopped showing a victory glare in his face. Abhira now understood that she was tricked by her Nanu and Nani to finish her food. She was overwhelmed with the love she is getting from her family. She feel blessed to having found them. She also wished if Akshara was also alive to feel this love it could have been cherry on top of the cake for her. Remembering Akshara made Abhira tear up which was noticed by Naksh he immediately understood that she is missing her mother. To cheer her up he said they will have nice family time by playing carrom. Naksh and Abhira was a team Anaya and Kirthi were their opponents. The rest of the family had gone out for their works. So these four decided to play. Once the carrom was done where Naksh and Abhira won she was super happy spending time with them. With that Anaya excused herself for work And Abhira disclosed the happenings in Udaipur to Naksh and Kirthi.

Naksh and Kirthi listened to everything Abhira said intently and both felt geniunely bad for Poddars. Naksh really hated that family for what they had done to his grand daughter but still he felt bad that they had to leave their house. Still he cant do much than showing some sympathy. Kirthi was worried for Armaan for how he is handling all emotional turmoil alone. She knew it very well that he puts up a facade of not being affected or missing his family but she knew that he still cared for them. Its not easy to let go of the relationships he nurtured for 30 years of his life. But she can pray the almighty to give him the necessary strength to get through this phase of his life.

Udaipur

Armaan rang the bell of the apartment. Charu opened the door for him and hugged him tight finding solace in her brothers embrace. He then settled himself in the living room where everyone was already present discussing something. He inquired whether they had their breakfast for which Manisha replied yes they did and asked him to have some as well. She said that she made Poha for breakfast and she will serve him. But Armaan denied that he had his breakfast already and not hungry anymore. It saddened to see his Cutiesa's fell with his denial. He didnt want to hurt her but he also didn't feel like having. So he just smiled and said that maybe some other time she can make anything for him. Manisha gave her brightest smile.

Armaan spoke to Manoj about the work he had done today morning. He also assured him with these evidences he is sure that in Tomorrows hearing they might receive back the house and the bank accounts can be released. This was soothing to hear for everyone. After the discussions Armaan was about to leave stating that he will meet them tomorrow in the court he was interrupted by Rohit. Rohit hugged his brother as if his life is depend on him and let his tears flow freely. Armaan was startled with the sudden hug. He recovered from shock and tried to separate Rohit but his hold was strong. So Armaan remained quiet for few minutes and then when he heard that Rohit's Crying has turned to sobs he separated Rohit from him. Rohit gaining back his breath apologized to Armaan for his behavior. He also told him that he should have done this years back itself but it was not in his hands as he was not on his sanity. Rohit in a regretful tone pleaded to Armaan "Bhai please forgive me. I was so stupid to trust Ruhi over You I was blinded by the love I Had for Ruhi and also from Childhood none told me that I shouldn't be rude with you. I always took you for granted but you always showered me with unconditional love" Armaan didn't reply anything for his apology but he still said that Rohit there were times You stood for me against Dadisa Maa sometimes Phuphasa too. It is not that you have always taken me for granted. You did love me unconditionally things changed later on. I agree that I did a mistake by hiding the important matter which you were also involved. But trust me i did that so that you could be happy. But I didnt know that the consequences of my action would spoil your life. Rohit with hope asked Armaan whether he had forgiven him? Armaan with a sad smile replied " I wish you could have heard my point of view back then now im no one too forgive you. Whatever we shared ended the moment you disbelieved me So you dont have to apologize to me for anything".

This came as shock not only for Rohit but also for the family. The reluctance in Armaan's voice hurted everyone in the family including Sanjay. Here Kaveri and Vidhya were having conversation about reconciliation with Armaan last night and now Armaan is showing them that there is no room for it. One by one all tried to convince Armaan to forgive them except Kaveri everyone had version to convince him but Armaan didnt pay any heed to their apologies or regrets. He simply said he still cared for them but he cant let himself fall in the same pit in the name of family. As now he has his own family His Abhira. Where no one is there to call him sautela or Paraya. He owns that family and he is happy in his life. He came down to help them because he was indebted to them for making him study and providing him shelter. He then turned to his cousins and told them however they are and always will be a part of his family.

With this he left the house. He was planning to meet few of his friends because its been three years he met them. When he was taking his car in the Parking lot he was cornered by Ruhi. The sight of this woman itself irritated him to the core. So he just tried to move away without any talk but Ruhi stopped Armaan with her idiotic questions. Why did u leave me like that Armaan??I did all that to get u back. How could you just say whatever we had was attraction and nothing more? I even went against B-Nanu who was my entire world for you but all you cared was Abhira. What did she do to you that you chose her over me? I loved you too deeply Armaan and I still cant get over you as You mean the world me Why did you do this Armaan? Why? by the end of these she started with crying.

Armaan couldnt believe that this woman still on the same page and crying over something which was not hers in the first place. He very well knew that how much ever he repeat his stance she is going to do the same but still one last time he tried to put some sense over this mad woman. He replied " What I said was completely true Ruhi that I didnt love you I felt you and me are similar and it will be nice if you are a part of my family. I thought you will be perfect to fit in my family. because that was me at that time who only thought about family but it was you who agreed to marriage with Rohit. Yes I was stupid to give you that promise. But i also told you that There will be nothing between us. If you didn't understand then I'm not at fault Ruhi. God gave you too many chances to move on but it was your mistake to keep holding the past and not letting anyone live peacefully. Also how dare you ask what had Abhira done to me? She is the light of my life and she is my everything she needn't do anything special but her mere presence is enough for me. She dont treat me as a commodity or any substitution she loves me for my inner self. She thought me that love should be unconditional. Im happy that Abhira is in my life as my wife, world. So u stop crying over the past and let the family live in peace and you too. He left from there.

Ruhi was once again heartbroken. She believed that Abhira and Armaan might have had their arguments with regarding to help Poddars and she can gain back Armaan but disappointment is what written in her life. She sometimes felt how come she became too shameless but then revenge and her obsession takes over and she end with the same mistakes. Manish Goenka who came to visit the Poddars heard everything what Armaan had told Ruhi. He was hoping That atleast Ruhi mends her ways and lead a peaceful life. He is too much worried for the girl he raised.

AArmaan while driving he was thinking about confronting Manish Goenka. In these three years Himself and Abhira had discussed this many times. But they never ended up with a conclusion. They were always double minded Abhira as much as she want to confront Goenkas for the way they treated her mother she also wanted to not have any connection with them. She had slightest idea that Manish missed her mother as she had seen him talking about her fondly. By not revealing or confronting too she can punish him and his family for their deeds. As she is the last straw for him to reach Akshara Sharma. Armaan wanted to talk about this to Abhira before he decides anything.
