It's morning and at Goneka House Akshara is seen sleeping and then she dreams of her past engagement with Abhimanyu..... She takes up with a shock...

Akshara- Why am I getting this again I don't want this....

Mimi knocks on the door..

MImi-Akshu, beta... can I come in?

Akshara-Haan, Mimi. Please come in.

Mimi enters the room and immediately notices Akshara's puffy eyes. She sighs and sits down beside her.

Mimi-You can lie to everyone else, Akshu, but not to me. You didn't sleep a wink, did you?

Akshara-I'm fine, Mimi.

Mimi-If you are fine then from your face I can easily make out that you aren't??

Akshara is puzzled and Mimi takes Akshara's hand and looks at her with concern.

MImi-I don't need to say this, but I will. If your heart isn't at peace, you must figure out why. Running from it will only make things worse.

Akshara-Mimi wo.....I've made my choice. Some things are better left in the past.

Mimi strokes Akshara's head with care.

Mimi-Sometimes the past refuses to stay there, beta. It keeps coming back.

Akshara looks down, her heart heavy with unresolved emotions.

At Birla House in Abhimanyu's room Clothes are thrown carelessly around as he hurries to prepare for the day. His mind is a storm of emotions, primarily focused on Akshara, and his anger simmers just below the surface.

Abhi-Why can't she just move on? Why does she have to keep popping into my head like this?

He grabs a shirt and forces it over his head, yanking at the fabric as if it's a tangible representation of his frustrations. The memories of their shared moments flood his mind—the laughter, the tears, the unspoken feelings—and with each recollection, his anger swells.

Abhi-I can't believe I'm here, already engaged to Aanchal while all I can think about is Akshara. This is insane!

He throws the shirt onto the floor, pacing the room in agitation. The mere thought of Akshara's tear-streaked face from the engagement ceremony sends another wave of anger through him.  Abhimanyu's gaze falls on a picture of him and Akshara, their faces filled with happiness from a time long gone. His heart aches, but he's furious with himself for still holding onto those memories.

Abhi-Why can't I just forget her? She made her choice, and that's it. But it's like she's haunting me!

He grabs the picture, holding it tightly for a moment, and then throws it. The glass rattles, a sharp contrast to the turmoil inside him. Abhimanyu's eyes blaze with anger, fueled by his sense of betrayal and confusion.

Abhi-She doesn't get to just waltz into my life and then walk away without consequences! It's not fair! 

He goes down and Manjari comes 

Manajri-Abhi you are going to the hospital 

Abhi-Ha maa I have work

Manajri-But beta breakfast 

Abhi-Nahi maa, I have surgeries lined up I will have it in the cafe.

Manajri-Oakay
