Aanchal's heart sinks as Abhimanyu's words hit her like a wave, the weight of his confession crashing down on her. She stands frozen, her mind reeling, emotions colliding in a storm inside her. The man she was about to marry, the one she thought she understood, is here, beside another woman—pouring his soul out, pleading for her life. Every word felt like a dagger, piercing the love and trust she had built with him.

 A sharp pain shoots through her chest, but she pushes it down, gathering every bit of courage. This isn't the time to break, not when Akshara's life hangs in the balance. Not when the man she loves is on the verge of losing someone he still loves. With trembling hands, Aanchal steps forward, her breaths shaky but determined. She softly touches Abhimanyu's shoulder, feeling the weight of his grief. Her voice, though breaking, is gentle and steady.

Aanchal-Abhimanyu

her words full of unspoken pain, but layered with compassion.

Aanchal-what happened? Why is she like this?

Abhimanyu can't bring himself to answer. His eyes remain glued to Akshara, his lips trembling as he clutches her hand tighter, as though it could stop her from slipping further away. His tears flow freely now, unstoppable.

Aanchal looks at him, fear creeping into her heart

Aanchal-Abhimanyu say something What happened to her?

Abhimanyu barely hears her. His mind is racing, overwhelmed by regret. Every harsh word he had thrown at her during the mehendi ceremony echoes in his mind. The memories of their fights, his cruel distance, the engagement—each one stabs at his heart, and he feels like he's drowning in guilt. He presses his forehead against Akshara's hand, sobbing quietly.

Abhi-I'm so sorry, Akshu...

Aanchal watches silently, her heart sinking. She knows, deep down, that Abhimanyu's feelings for Akshara never really faded. She steps back, watching him break down, feeling the weight of the truth settling on her shoulders.

Aanchal-Abhimanyu we need to be strong for her. She'll need you when she wakes up.

But Abhimanyu shakes his head, his voice broken. His uncontrollable tears are spilling down his face as he grips Akshara's hand tighter.

Abhi-Please, Akshu... don't leave me. I'm begging you.

The door opens again, and doctors rush in to check Akshara's vitals. Abhimanyu barely notices them, his eyes never leaving her face. The constant beeping of the machines around them only adds to his desperation. He presses his lips to Akshara's hand, his heart heavy with the unbearable fear of losing her forever.

Just then, Dr.Mahima, Dr.Anand and Dr.Arohi enter, seeing the devastation written all over Abhimanyu's face. 

Dr.Mahima-Abhimnayu Dr. Abhimanyu you are a doctor rite now don't forget your oath 

Abhi-But Dr.Mahima 

Dr.Anand-Nothing will happen to Akshara 

Aanchal, standing quietly on the side, watches everything unfold. Her heart aches seeing Abhimanyu like this, seeing the bond he still shares with Akshara. The weight of what's happening is overwhelming, and she takes a deep breath, unsure of what to say or do.

Aanchal-Dr.Rohan what the matter ??

Dr.Rohan-Ma'am the reports are coming out soon... but still there no clue 

Aanchal wonders why she had collapsed. Shen then remembers Akshara coming out of City Hospital.

Aanchal-Oh nooooo
