"You can never buy love,
But you can pay heavily for it"

Few days went by,

The unseen line was drawn between Abhimanyu and Akshara,

They stood on the different corners of the hall,
Abhi was helping Abhir in some questions, while Akshu was combing Aaira's hairs,

"Princess aap papa ke saath chalo ge?" Abhi asks

"Where to?" She asks

"Hospital?!" Abhi asks

"She won't" Akshu said "what'll she do going to hospital? She could just stay with me only, even Abhir is also at home so" Akshara was saying

"So you want to keep my daughter here?"

"Yes, and secondly hospitals are infectious and her immune system is not so strong so why to take risk" Akshara said

"Princess, junior, we'll have a pizza party, if you allow Mrs. Sharma" Abhimanyu said

Akshara nods "fine then, I'll have to make food for myself" Akshara said

"Arre, you can have pizza only" Abhimanyu suggested

"Mumma don't like eating pizza, she only eats green vegetables" Abhir said

"Huh?! Your mumma don't?!" Abhi asks "that's surprisingly new fact"

"You must be getting late for your work, aren't you?" Akshara asks

"Yaa I need to go, fine, bye sweetie, bye junior" Abhimanyu said kissing the forehead of the kids,

----------

Akshara sat playing with the kids,
Abhir and Aaira developed a great bond in a few days, so was with Akshara and Abhimanyu,

As Akshara see Abhir and Aaira together, she always had a feeling that Abhir's bond would've been the same if they'd their other twin alive

Akshara looked at Aaira who was drawing a beautiful scenery while Abhir was drawing a family of four on that scenery

"Draw the women with the girl and not with the boy!" Aaira said

"Nahi Aaira, mumma will stand with me" Abhir said

"With me!!" Aaira said

"Arre kya ho gaya hai? Lad kyun rahe ho?" Akshara asks

"She's not letting me stand with you mumma!" Abhir said

"I want to stand with you" Aaira said while hugging her,

"But I too want that" Abhir said

"Then you stand at the another side" Akshara said "it's a picture anyway"

"No I want docman too" Abhir said "you know I love you and docman and I want both of you" Abhir said

"And me too, I want you and papa, both, you as mumma" Aaira said

"Kitna acha hota na Aaira agar hum ek family hote" Abhir said

"Haan, 'A' family" Aaira said "aur mere paas ek mumma bhi hoti"

"How I wish ki docman hi mere papa hote" Abhir said

Akshara's face turns in pale one ,

"Abhir!" Akshara said

"Yes mumma?"

"Bahut time ho gaya hai, go and do your homework" Akshara said

"Mumma!" Abhir makes a sullen face

"I'll sit with you, then will you do it" Aaira asks

"Haan chal" Abhir asks

Akshara sneaks into the kitchen,
She started crying as she sat at the cold floor,

Blames, guilt, anger, everything she'd got were never for her,
She knew the day Abhi will get to know about Abhir's paternity truth, she'll lose him completely, she's seen Abhi-Abhir's attachment, which Abhir could never form with 🤡

'You hid my son from me, Mrs. Sharma?!'

'No Abhimanyu, try to understand'

And she started panicking, a panic attack came to her

'Lag ja gale... ke phir yeh haseen raat ho na ho' Abhi hums,

'Breathe Akshu' the 7 years old Abhi shouts as she was lying on the hospital bed on the day she's about to tell the truth of Manjari's accident

The incidents came in front of her mind

That's when 'he' stood in front of her,

'Abhi!' Akshu said in a small voice

'Akshu! What has happened to you baba? Why're you here'

'Because you left me alone!' She said

'I...?'

'Ya you! How can you Abhi? You never ever trusted me' Akshu said

'No jaan... you're wrong! I trust you! I trust you most in my life' Abhi said

"I can never leave you Akshu! I love you!" Abhi said

"I love you.... I love you too Abhi!" Akshara said

Her trance was broken by a sudden shift of her eyes, when she looks outside the window, he was coming back home....

"I'll tell you the truth Abhi!!" Akshara said as she determined the thought in her mind
