FEW DAYS LATER,

The Birla mansion was empty today,
Abhi is in the hospital,Zeeva was with him as she'd her regular tests,
Manjari had gone to her home for a few days, Neil Aarohi went to a trip and Mahima Anand were gone to some hospital related work,

Only Akshara and Abir were alone
Abir sat on the couch watching his iPad when Akshara came with his breakfast

"Here it's, breakfast for my betu" Akshara said forwarding the plate of breakfast

"I'll eat Maggie only,mam" Abhir said

(A/N: That's what he used to call her, he'd a pact with Abhi that he'll call her mom in front of Zeeva only,)

"Abhir maine bhi to vahi hi banayi hai, Maggie" Akshara said

"I'll make it by my own" Abhir said

"Abhir, why're you becoming like this? I want to talk to you" Akshara said

"And what about me? The times I wanted you? Were you there?" Abhir said as he stood

"We've time now Abhir, there must be many things you wanted to share? You can share it with me now!" Akshara said

"Then tell me why'd you left me and my papa?" Abhir asks

Akshara went quiet, she knew this answer can ruin everything,

"No answer?!" Abhir asks with a sad chuckle "no problem, but a request, stay away from me and my father, we don't want to get attached to you again" Abhir said

"Abhir, please don't do this, it was my mistake, I couldn't understand, please don't leave me, I'll die without you and Zeeva" Akshara said

"So you've Zeeva still but all I've is my papa, and I don't want to hurt him anymore" Abhir said

"Abhir..." Akshara was saying when he cuts her off

"I want to show you something, come with me" Abhir said as he pulls Akshara with him,

He opens Abhi's drawer while Akshara gets shocked and keeps her hand on her face, as tears came from her eyes,

"Papa never opens up all this, but he's having these medicines" Abhir said "he never tells but he's not fine but you still feel that I should understand you? What should I do? I'm not as great as my papa"

Abir sat over there and Akshara also, she was shocked to see soo many strong anti-depressives in his room, she'd never thought of it,

It looked like her body was sitting here but her mind was somewhat else only,

Her mind went to 7 years earlier day, the day before Abhir's birthday when she was returning from hospital, with a file in her hand,
She was pregnant with their second kid, Akshara was happily coming when she saw a file on the sofa,written Abhimanyu Birla on it

"Yeh Abhi bhi na, kahi bhi apni files chood deta hai" Akshara muttered "khol ke to dekhu kis cheez ki hai"

The colour of her face became pale as she opens the file,
It was a divorce agreement,

Her happiness vanished as she sat on the sofa, devastated, she didn't know what to do, she just picked her phone and started dialling his number,

"Arre, usse call karke kya milega hum hi bata dete hai" Aarohi said "Kyunki usko to divorce ke baare mein bhi nahi pata"

"What do you want to say Aarohi?!" Akshara asks

"Yahi ki agar aaj tumne inn papers par sign nahi kiya so, your beloved husband and dearest son will die in an accident today" Aarohi said handling her the video, it was a truck which was behind Abhimanyu and Abhir's car,

"You can't do this!" Akshara cries

"I can! And this would be considered a complete accident" Aarohi said "but yes, don't you dare to call him"

Flashback ends
---------

"And that was the reason I'd to leave him and you" Akshara said

"Then you must be in the same position today also? That, she can really do anything" Abhir said

"She can't do anything Abhir" Akshara said "because at this time, I've the biggest secret of her"

"So why'd you stay away if you got to know the secret? And what's that secret?!" He asks

"You ask a lot Abhir!" Akshara said while caressing his hairs
