This chapter is basically about Abhir and his POV
Hope you'll like it, but no criticism and bashing please

Abhir goes near Akshara as both Zeeva and Abhi weren't talking to him,he saw her giving a look,

"Abhi, Zeeva, we'll solve it, vaise bhi my betu forgave me, haina betu?" Akshara said as she was about to caress his hairs when he shook himself away,

"Not my hairs please" Abhir said keeping himself away from her "Abb thik hai Ziu?" He asks from his sister "Aur sorry na gussa mat ho"

"Aise nahi matar ke dane, you'll have to live with jaan, and I'll stay with papa" Zeeva said

"This is wrong Zeeva, you're calling your mother as jaan, and me as papa" Abhi pouts

"I'll call you with a cute name, I'm thinking about it" she said

'Inn dono ne mujhe to kabhi bulane nahi diya' Abhir thinks

"Junior, idhar aao" Abhimanyu said taking him in his hug "aaj se aap aur Akshu ek hi room me reh sakte hai?! Mujhe apni princess ke sath rehna hai?" Abhimanyu asks

Abhir looked at him and then at Akshara, he couldn't risk to say anything absurd,

"Yaa papa I've no problem if she stays, I'll clean my wardrobe and dressing" Abhir said with a cold face

"And why'd you it alone, I'll help you bacha" Akshara said hugging him, a sense of relief came in her mind, she'd hugged him after 7 years
Abhir was no different, he was about to cry when he excused himself for washroom, no matter how much he'd try to suppress, he loved his mother, truly and dearly,

"Nahi Abhir, you're doing all this for your father and sister, let her be in your room, but you won't talk to her" he said to himself
------------

Three days passes,
As all the Birlas except Manjari and Aarohi had met Akshu, even though they both knew, nobody tried to come,
And the people who were there didn't asked anything all thanks to Abhi,

"We'll have singing concert to badi maa" Ruhi said as she stood hugging Akshara

"No chachi, dance competition and you'll be the judge" Shivu said

"Noo! Cooking competition and all papa's will cook" Zeeva suggested "Abhir, you tell na which competition?!" She asks from him, but he was glaring his cousins as they stood near his mother

Ruhi and Shivansh went far away from Akshara as they saw his eyes,

"Abhir" Zeeva said as she goes near to Abhir's ears "you suggest something?!" Zeeva asks

"What?! What to suggest?" Abhir asks

"Some activity, today we're going to play in evening, what do you want to do?" Zeeva asks

"I'm going to study today's evening, it's been so many days" Abhir said while Zeeva rolled her eyes

"Jaan! Your Abhir is a buddhu, I'm asking what to play and look he's talking about study!" Zeeva said making a face,

"Yaar Abhir you often wake at night, you may study at night" Ruhi suggested

"No, I have my football match in a few days so I've to go for practice from 3.30PM-7.30 PM, then I'll come back, get freshened up, then I'll have to study
It's already 1...." Abhir said

"Haww! So your match is more important than me?!" Zeeva pouts as she said dramatically

"I'll have to be the captain Zeeva" Abhir said

"It's okay, we'll enjoy without you, we've no problem, haina papa" Zeeva said

"Aur nahi to kya, we'll enjoy without him only" Abhimanyu said as he wanted to stop him

"This is wrong Abhi, how can we fun without him" Akshara said back hugging him

"Like you'd in your previous 7 years" Abhir said slowly which got heard to Akshara

"Kuch kaha tumne junior?" Abhimanyu said

"Nahi papa, I'll have to go, bye papa, bye piggy, bye.." Abhir said as he leaves the ward

"Aane do use ghar party to hum bhi tab hi karenge" Zeeva said
---------

Abhi and Akshu's relationship was not clear to anyone,
They'd told they'll stay in Birla Mansion till Zeeva's surgery and after that, they'll leave the house
Neither did anyone ever asked or had a say on the couple, the family maintained the distance,

Abhi and Akshu was sitting in the room with Zeeva when Abhir came back from the football practice,

"Aa gaye practice se? Ab mujhe house ki ghumi karni hai"Zeeva said hanging on his back

They were randomly talking when Abhi notices blood flowing from Abhir's hand,

"Zeeva, betu can you play with dida for 10 minutes, we've to talk with Abhir" Abhimanyu said while Ziva go out

"What's all this junior?" Abhimanyu asks

"Kya hua Abhi?!" Akshara asks him

"Dekho khoon aa raha hai uske haath se" Abhimanyu said "kya hai yeh sab junior?! Fir ladaai kari aapne?"

Akshara was shocked to hear that Abhir fought, he was the most sincere kid in his childhood

"Papa meri galti nahin hai, vo boys khud hi mujhe chedi jaa rahe the" Abhir said

"Nahi Abhi.... Abir ladai nahin kar sakta, vo to" Akshara was saying

"Pichle saat saal mein 4 baar rusticate hone vala tha, meri pleadings ko maan maan kar teachers inko leti thi, leave all this, give me a first-aid kit,Akshu" Abhi said

Akshu was in tears seeing the bruises he'd, his hands were full of blood and his legs had bruises,

"Par papa main sahi mein is baar nahi lada, sir bahar chale gaye thae, aur maine Zeeva ko promise kiya hua hai ki main kisise bhi nahi ladunga, aur vo aaj mujhe maarne lag gaye thae, abb maine kuch nahin kaha to jyada mar diya, par main sir ko complaint karke aaya hun, par mujhse yeh promise pura nahi ho paega papa, main itne pyaar se baat karta hu to mujhe to sugar ho jaegi, aur fir I'm a boy na, mujhe bahut jyada gussa aata hai" Abhir explains "main Zeeva se sorry mang lunga par mujhe jab bhi gussa aata hai to main vo kaisey stop karu?"

"Aap apne kamre mein rest karo Abhir, main aata hu" Abhi said

"Nahi Abhi, main jaa rahi hu" Akshara said as she goes with Abhir

---------
"Aur yeh le haldi vala doodh pee saara dard chala jaega" Akshara said forwarding him turmeric milk, she was trying to sit near him, but he was trying to make him more distant "kya chal raha hai yeh Abhir? Current nahi mar rahi hu main tujhe, chup chap dudh khatam kar aur niche aaja ab bahut din ho chuke hain yeh drama dekhte hue, gussa hain to gussa hi reh aur thik hai to thik reh, yeh bich ke phase mein ab ke ulte haath ka lagega, bahut jyada tolerate kar liye hai tere filmy dialogues,Gayi thi mein par mujhe koi shauk nahin hai bhagne ka" Akshara said angrily

"Main koi natak nahi kar raha hun, actually kar raha hu, main aapko apni mom consider hi nahi karta hu, main aapse is liye baat kr raha hu Kyunki main yeh nahi chahta ki mere papa mujhse dur chale jaeye" He said while he stood up from the bed "aur Haan current ki baat kar rahi the na aap to mujhe lagte hai current, chid machti hai"

Abhir's eyes showed the inner turmoil and suffocation he felt all over the years

Akshara eyes were blank, she'd no words to speak, her hands shakes as her commotion changed from the normal to a blank one,
Her body started getting pale as he noticed it,
Abhir closes the door as he saw that, his eyes were full of tears at that moment,

She was getting a panic attack, he knew the only way he'd to fix it, music

He took the instrument he has, harmonica, he pleasantly plays the sound, after 7 years, it was kept with him all the time,

Akshara's condition got improved but she was still not responding,

"I'm sorry, please, please, please na, aap aise nahi kar skti, please na" Abhir said joining his hands "please na, abhi kahi mat jaana na, abhi to aap mujhe mile ho, not today"

But Akshara's condition kept on worsening, "please na.. please na mumma please, you can't leave me!"
Abhir said hugging Akshu, tightly,

"Agar aaj bhi aap kahi chale gaye na mumma to main bhi aapke sath hi jaunga, main apke bina nahi reh sakta"

Abhir said with inconsolable tears

Akshara's sense came back after he hugged him, her heart teared, her son was in such an emotional turmoil, although Abhi tried his best to fulfil his duties, but nobody else can complete her place,

Akshara hugged him with shaking hands

"I'm sorry betu" Akshara said when Abhir's trance got broken

"I'm not hurt or sorry, please come downstairs, before everyone starts blaming me" Abhir said as he marched to the bathroom

Akshara sat on the verge of tears, with a determination to get her son back at any cost,

Akshu rubs her tears when Zeeva enters the room

"Jaan!" Zeeva said "I found you! I was looking for you and matar ka dana, where's he?!"

"He's your elder brother Zeeva!" Akshara said

"Bhaiyu?!" Zeeva said

"Yes" Akshara replies

"And what's it, I and my son were enjoying, you guys bumped like that only" Akshara said

Abhi looks at the harmonica on the floor,

"Playing harmonica and all? Junior ne itne saalo se haath bhi nahi lagayi" Abhimanyu said

"Ab dekh lena pura din chalayega" Akshara said with a smile,

"Junior bhi aa gaya, yeh to galat baat hai, saara pyar sirf use mujhe to kabhi nahi sunayi" he pouts

"You never asked papa" Abhir said rolling his eyes "and why're so many special entries in my room today?" Abhir asks as he cuddled Zeeva

"Now we'll have to take your permission for entering the room also bhaiyu?!" Zeeva asks

"Bhaiyu?!" Abir said looking at Zeeva "why, call me Abir/Matar ka dana, I like that" he said

"Mere bolne se to problem hoti thi tujhe" Abhimanyu said taking him to his side

"Ek to aap bache ho kya papa? Aur main niche jaa raha hun, chuhi ko koi kaam hai, project se related" Abhir said

"Unka naam to Ruhi hai bhaiyu, aap bhi unki tarah pronounce galat kar rahe ho" Zeeva said

"Vo sachi ki chuhi hi hai, wait for a few days then you'll get to know" Abhir said

"Par meri surgery ke baad to hum jaa rahe hai Delhi" Zeeva said while Abhir's gaze turned to AbhiRa

"Kya?!" He asks

"Haan" Zeeva replied

---------

AbhiRa and their kids were in the room, where they were feeding the food to Zeeva, and Abhir was sitting gazing at food with headphones on his ears,

"And there goes an aeroplane in... Abhir's mouth" Akshara said keeping the bite in front of Abhir

He eats and smiles a bit as he really enjoyed the time,

"Vaise bhaiyu.." Zeeva said when Abhir makes a big pout "you sing na?"
He nods. A song for us please.
He smiled and nods

AbhiRa looks at each other and smiles,
"I'll help as a guitarist" Akshara offers

"Nahi I love to play the guitar by myself"
Akshara nods

"Which song should I play?" Abhir asks

"Meri maa, will you play it betu?" Akshara asks

"I'd" he said

"Dekh lena Ziu, kuch dino mein na yeh dono humme bhul jaenge" Abhimanyu said pouting

"Haan to we'll team up pops, don't worry I won't leave you alone"

Abhir rolls off his eyes from their convo as he started singing

🎵Meri maa🎵

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

jab chot kabhi mere lag jaati thi
toh aankh teri bhi toh bhar aati thi
maa o maa...
jab chot kabhi mere lag jaati thi
toh aankh teri bhi toh bhar aati thi
ik chhooti si phoonk se teri
sabhi dard mere hote the gum
aaj bhi koi chot lage toh
yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
aaj bhi meri aankh bhare toh
yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
maa, meri maa, meri maa.... maa

Akshara and Abhir looks at each other, Akshu looks at his wounds, as tears escaped from her eyes

teri baaton mein apni har ik main
uljhan ka hal paa leta tha
tere haathon ki roti aksar hi
bhook se zyaada kha leta tha
tera hisa main tera kisa main
jo sab ko sunaati ho tum
aaj bhi meri baat chale toh
yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
aaj bhi meri aankh bhare toh
yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
meri maa, meri maa.... maa

Abhir remembers his all the fights he'd done, on her name, the day he fell and took her name, mumma

haaroon yaa jeetoon mujhko tu apna
raja beta hi kehti thi
meri galti ko apni keh kar tu
daant bhi baba ki sehti thi
tera dena maa, de na paaon main
raah ab bhi dikhaati ho tum
aaj bhi koi bhatkan ho toh
yaad aati ho yaad aati ho tum
aaj bhi meri aankh bhare toh
yaad aati ho yaad aati ho tum
maa, meri maa, meri maa....
meri maa, meri maa, meri maa

"Yayy! Wow bhaiyu! This song is great" Zeeva said

"Haina my betu is the best" Abhi said caressing his hairs

"It was amazing Abhir" Akshara said, she was in guilt for leaving her son alone, she just escapes from the room

Akshara went to the terrace and sat down crying
Tears, didn't stopped, the more she saw him, more her guilt increased,

'Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hasin Raat Ho Na Ho,

Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho'
Abhimanyu sang as he covers her with a blanket

"I know acha nahi gaata hun par tumhe aise rote hue to nahi dekh sakta main itna bura pati bhi nahi hu main" Abhimanyu said

"Abhi, mujhe Abhir se dur rehna chahie, maine yahi decide kiya hai" Akshara said "pata hai Abhi maine socha tha ki nahi sab thik ho jaega, par maine jab usse gaate hue dekha na, tab main samjhi, vo badal chuka hai, vo pehle vala Abhir nahi raha, tumhe pata hai, kaan taras chuke hai mere ek baar uska koi PJ sune ka, ek baar bhi usne kuch nahin kaha, aur jab baat karta hai to aag jal rahi ho, I can't see him in this condition" Akshara said

"To tum kya use chood dogi? Aur kya pata vo try kar raha ho? Tumhe kya lagta hai mujhe pata nahin hai ki us room mein vo kya bola hai, aur usne harmonica kyu bajaya, mujhe kamre mein jaate hi samajh mein aa gaya tha jab maine tumhare face ko pasene se bhara hua dekha par main chup raha,
Mujhe pata tha Akshu, par agar main vaha par usko dat ta to vo galat tha, kyunki vaha par Zeeva bhi thi, aur agar hum hi har man jaeyenge to vo to kabhi bhi apni family ko pura dekh hi nahi paenge" Abhimanyu said engulfing her

He keeps his tilted neck on Akshu as they both sit in the blanket

Lag ja gale ki phir ye
Hasin raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam
Mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale

Ham ko mili hain aaj
Ye ghadiyaan nasib se
Ji bhar ke dekh lijiye
Ham ko karib se
Phir aap ke nasib mein
Ye baat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam
Mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale

Paas aaiye ki ham nahin
Aaenge baar baar
Baahen gale mein daal
Ke ham ro le zaar zaar
Aankhon se phir ye pyaar
Ki barasaat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam
Mein mulaaqaat ho na ho

Lag ja gale ki phir ye
Haseen raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam
Mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale.

Abhi sings while Akshara sleeps on his shoulder
Abhi takes Akshara to Abhir's room and takes Zeeva to his room

Abhir just holds Akshara's hand and sleeps

------
The new day,

Akshu wakes up and found herself with Abhir, he was sleeping snuggling into her, while the papa-beti were laying right beside her,

Abhi was watching his phone when Akshu indicated what was he doing

"Kya kar rahe ho?" Akshara asks in a slow voice

"Bhabhi 2 se baat kar raha hu" Abhi said while Akshara's eyes widened

She snatches the phone from him when she looked at the contact

He was messaging Dr. Rohan

Abhi started laughing hysterically after seeing her jealousy, even Akshu started laughing

The kids wakes up listening to the noises
