Whispers of Destiny: Unveiling Hearts

Chapter 31: A Mother's Love, A Father's Promise 💔

Akshara walks out of Abhir's room, leaving behind a heavy atmosphere filled with tension and hurt. As she leaves, Abhimanyu notices her walking away.

Trying to calm himself down, he completes Abhir’s checkup and then steps outside to find Akshara. He searches for her at the reception and asks if anyone has seen her. He even stops Dr. Rohan on his way and asks him if he has seen Akshara.

Dr. Rohan replies, "I saw her leaving the hospital a little while ago." Thanking him, Abhimanyu rushes outside, desperately looking around for her.

After running some distance, he spots Akshara walking along the roadside, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. Cars zoom past, but Akshara appears completely unaware.

From behind, Abhimanyu shouts, "Akshara! Stop!" But his voice doesn’t reach her. Suddenly, he notices a large truck speeding towards her. Without thinking twice, Abhimanyu sprints towards her and pulls her away just in time.

As he pulls her to the side of the road, both of them stumble and fall. Abhimanyu ends up underneath, with Akshara falling on top of him.

They quickly get up, and Abhimanyu starts scolding her, "What were you thinking? You could have been hurt! You can’t just walk around like that!" His eyes are filled with a mix of pain and fear.

Akshara starts crying and says, "What should I do? My own son hates me now. The one reason I have been living for these past six years doesn't even want to stay with me anymore. Tell me, Abhimanyu, what should I do?"

Seeing her in tears, Abhimanyu’s heart softens, and he starts to tear up as well. "I promise, Abhir will not hate you. I won’t let him hate you. I will explain everything to him. I will do whatever it takes, but I will never let anyone come between you two. I won’t let anyone separate Abhir from you," Abhimanyu says, his voice filled with determination.

A week later, we see Abhimanyu taking care of Abhir at the hospital. Abhir has not been discharged yet, and his anger toward Akshara is still strong. However, Abhimanyu, who is not one to give up easily, finds ways to bridge the gap.

When Abhir refuses to eat food brought by Akshara, Abhimanyu secretly brings the food made by her and feeds it to Abhir without him knowing. Abhir sometimes suspects it’s his mom’s cooking, but since the food is prepared in the hospital, he doesn't dwell too much on it. Akshara visits every day to see Abhir.

When he is asleep, she stays by his side, watching over him. Abhimanyu also makes sure that no nurse or hospital staff mentions Akshara in front of Abhir, knowing how fragile the situation is.

Akshara comes out of the room and after seeing Abhir she comes out and tells Abhimanyu. "It's been a week and still he doesn't want to meet me, he doesn't want to see my face. I am feeling scared if he remained angry with me like this throughout his life, if he never talked to me, if he left me and went away."

Abhimanyu said "What are you saying, where will he go after leaving you, you are his mother. If the need arises then I will tell Abir everything about 6 years ago. Whatever he wants, even if he hates me it will be okay.  But at least he will understand you. He will not leave you and that will be enough for me. And you should stop thinking all these things and please stop giving so much stress to yourself. All this is not good for your health."

But Akshara again says but "Why would he hate you, I don't want him to hate anyone among us." Abhimanyu doesn't say anything, he just nods his head like a child.

A week later, the day of Abhir's discharge arrives. Abhir is happy to be going home but still refuses to meet Akshara. Sensing the tension, Abhimanyu decides to talk to him. "Junior, let me ask you something. Are you angry with your mumma because she didn’t tell you that I am your dad? But have you ever thought about why she might have done that? There must have been a reason. Your mumma would always want the best for you, right?"

Abhir thinks for a moment and then replies, "Yes, Docman, I thought about it. I thought that if Mumma did this, she must have had a reason. But when Mumma took me to the park that day, Your mumma told me that my mumma had done this on purpose because she didn't want me to live with you and your family."

Hearing Abhir's words, Abhimanyu becomes extremely angry, realizing that Manjari has been poisoning Abhir's mind against Akshara. His anger is so intense that the veins in his hands become visible, and his eyes turn red with rage. But with Abhir standing right in front of him, he takes a deep breath and struggles to control his emotions. He knows he needs to stay calm for Abhir's sake, even though he feels like he's burning inside.

At that moment, Kairav arrives to take Abhir home. Sensing the tension in the room, Kairav looks at Abhimanyu, who is clearly trying to hold himself together. Abhimanyu bends down to Abhir's level, kneeling in front of him, and speaks gently, "Abhir, your discharge is done, Junior. So, you should go home with your mamu now."

Abhir looks at him with big, confused eyes. "But you’re not coming with me, Docman? I want you to come with me," Abhir says, his voice filled with the innocence of a child who doesn’t understand the complexities of adult emotions.

Abhimanyu, trying to keep his voice steady and his emotions in check, smiles softly and replies, "I will come, Abhir. I promise I will come to see you. But right now, I have some very important work to do. If I don’t handle it, it could cause big problems in the future."

Abhir, still a little upset but trusting his Docman, nods reluctantly. "Okay... but you have to come soon, okay?"

Abhimanyu gives him a reassuring smile and gently ruffles his hair. "I will, Junior. I will. You be a good boy and listen to your mamu, alright?"

Kairav looks at Abhimanyu, understanding that something serious is brewing, but he doesn’t say anything. He just places a hand on Abhir’s shoulder, ready to take him home. As they leave, Abhimanyu watches them go, his expression hardening once they’re out of sight. He knows he needs to confront Manjari about what she's been saying to Abhir and make sure nothing else comes between his son and Akshara.

With a heavy heart and determination in his eyes, Abhimanyu takes a deep breath and prepares himself for what is to come. He knows that the road ahead will not be easy, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family and set things right.
