Abhimaan: Life of Love

Part 13

Armaan reached his hotel and prepared for his flight. He Checked out the hotel and reached airport not wanting to be late or to be precise he was so excited to go to his Abhira he rushed to airport impatiently. While the Poddars went to the apartment to collect their belongings. Armaan has retained the apartment as when he is back for the hearing after vacation he can use it. So he instructed Manoj to hold the key himself and he will collect it from him when he is back. Poddars were highly disappointed with Armaan's rejection. Everyone had their different perspectives. Rohit was guilty that he pushed his brother to this extent that he doesn't consider them as his family. Vidhya and Madhav were burdened by their failures as parents which drived their eldest son from them. Chorus gang was sad that they couldn't spend some more time with their brother. Manisha and Manoj missed her favorite son and daughter. They always dreamt of having them around as a happy couple but now it not possible for them to witness it. But still Manisha and Manoj were happy that their children though far away from them were happy and progressing in life. Manisha told her Mannu that she would like to visit Abhira once in Mumbai for which he assured he would definitely take her and kids to Mumbai once everything settle down. Kajal didn't admit due to Sanjay's fear but she too missed Armaan and Abhira. They were pure soul who genuinely cared for her and her children. She being stupid and blinded by her mother's preaching misunderstood them at many instances but the children never stopped caring for her. Sanjay didn't like Armaan's growth but still he knew that for Poddar firms to bounce back he needs Armaan's support which he will never admit openly but that's the fact. Kaveri was the one who was dumbstruck with the way Armaan behaved. She was used to a puppet Armaan but this Armaan is different he is not melting for sweet words or gestures. He can see her inner things now which is alarming her. If he doesn't fall into her words then it will be difficult for her to reclaim her legacy. She very soon had to do something to gain back her powers and make the firm gain back its glory.

Armaan reached Mumbai and directly rushed to meet the love of his life. He entered Singhania Mansion almost around 11.30 pm where everyone had retired to their beds. but Abhira was still awake waiting for her khadusmaan she sprinted to the door to welcome him. The moment both saw each other it was surreal for them. they just engulfed each other in a tight hug. Armaan was away for only for a couple of days but it felt like they are seeing each other after months. In these three years this is the first time they have even parted for days. Both of them made it a rule wherever they are they always get back home for the night. But with this crisis they had to undergo this separation for the first time. They both didn't want to leave each other but it was Armaan's growling stomach made them separate. Abhira threw accusing glances at him for have not eaten. Armaan smiled sheepishly and replied that he was held up with court and proceedings then later when done family hovered around him for reconciliation after that he was excited to come back home so it slipped of his mind to have his food. Abhira with no more delay dragged Armaan to the dining table to serve him food. He insisted on freshening up but she didn't want to have even that delay so she said that she will feed him. Armaan was touched by her concern and he obliged to his highness.

She had already heated the food and was waiting for him. Keerthi insisted on waiting for and will serve him the food as she had to rest but with look of disappointment in Abhira's face she agreed that she herself receive her husband and all others will see him in the morning giving them their privacy. Also she warned Abhira to rest properly as it is very important for her and tomorrow is a big day for the new parents. Abhira fed Him with so much love and Armaan repeated the same though Abhira denied of having eaten already Armaan was stubborn of atleast having few bites with him and as always she gave in and ate few bites. Post their dinner Armaan went to get changed while Abhira cleared up the table. Once settled in their cozy room Abhira about his day with Poddars for which Armaan narrated every single happenings his confrontation with Ruhi and Poddars request for getting back together and Rohit's apology. Mrs. Poddars words each and everything. Abhira held his hand in assurance and offered her silent support as always. Armaan felt relaxed, he pretended as if he was not bothered or affected by them but it is not he still get affected with and about everything of that family. It is true the intensity is reduced but its not fully gone. after few minutes he spoke" Abhira Mrs. Poddar has not even changed a bit she is still the same narcissist women who can never change. She is still thinking of profits losses and her stupid pride. Her words were something but her her intention was something. I could clearly feel that whatever she said was to retain me there as replacement for the mess her family had created. She didn't even have an ounce of love or affection for us when she asked me to return. It was all facade." with every words tears were clouding in his eyes. Abhira knew how it hurted for Armaan to not witness any kind of love or affection for him from the lady he worshipped so long. But she couldn't erase this pain of his so she diverted the topic to their baby " Armaan tomorrow afternoon we will see our bundle of joy for the first time, I'm so excited Nani told that we will be able to hear the child heartbeat". Armaan picking up what she is trying to do was equally exited and told her that he will record their baby's heartbeat as a lifetime memory and will nourish the baby with unconditional love once they enter into this world" After that they both cuddled to sleep.
