Happy reading people!

In Manjari's Room:

Abhimanyu spoke in context to Neil's reaction that made Manjari think deeper. She understood what both her sons were hinting at. They weren't wrong but that wasn't the point here.

"Abhi! Main jaanti hoon ki baat kuch aur bhi hain. Jo tu ne Neil se bhi nahi kahi. Hain na? Usne jo bola aise hi bol diya. Woh main samajh gayi per tu ne jo bola, woh aise hi nahi bola.

Agar Neil ki baaton mein tujhe sachayi nahi dikhti toh tu use aise nahi jaane deta. Neil khud chauk gaya tere reaction se. Woh usi confusion mein nikal gaya yahan se. Pata hain na tujhe?" She confronted and Abhimanyu nodded.

"Roohi ke baatein sunke maine faisla karliya tha. Mere reasons kafi emotional hain. Isliye maine Neil pe chod diya faisla. Mujhe apne jazbaaton pe filhaal bharosa nahi hain. Akshara bhi involved hain toh main risk nahi lena chahta tha.

Lekin Neil aisa nahi hain. Woh practical hain. Akshara ke bare mein aapke jaisa hi sochta hain. Had se zyada protective hain. Maine socha....agar use bhi laga ki Roohi ko participate karne dena chahiye, phir dekhenge.

Mahadev ki bhi marzi thi shayad. Akhir aisa hi hua. Woh sab soch samajh ke, meri therapist se tak baat karke, isi nateeje pe pahuncha. Uske baad hi maine apne decision ko jayaz maana. Roohi ki khushi ka sawaal hain na...."

He explained and Manjari gave a curt nod.

"Neil sach mein kuch aisa nahi karne dega jo tujhe, Abhir ya Roohi ko koi khatra ho. Per uski faisle se main abhi bhi khush nahi hoon.......Khair! Chodo. Apni baat batao. Tere aise kya reasons the? Iss sab se tu chahta kya hain Abhi?" She asked.

"Main nahi chahta ki Roohi, ab se, Akshara se related koi bhi baat, feeling, pain mujhse chupayein. Maine pehle hi Akshara ki baaton se, yaadon se, harqaton se use door rakh kar galti kardi. Jisse use yeh lagne laga ki Akshara ka topic off limits hain uskeliye.

Isliye usne mujhse kabhi apni insecurities, dar, dukh kuch bhi share nahi kiya. Itna acha gati hain per Akshara ki singer hone ki wajah se main hurt na hojaun......us chakkar mein usne mujhse baat karne ka bhi nahi socha Maa.

Roohi ne jo bhaagke audition diya...woh sab kyun hua? Akshara ki interview wali baat humein seedhe se kyun nahi batayi? Jo Roohi aur Akshara ke beech mein hua, woh mujhe batane bhi nahi wali thi Maa. Aapne socha aisa kyun hua?"

Manjari shook her head. She genuinely didn't. Abhimanyu sighed and spoke,

"Mujhe thoda idea tha per aaj Roohi ki baaton se mujhe clearly samajh aaya ki Roohi ne aisi harqat kyun ki........... jo usne poore 16 saal mein nahi ki.

Jaise hi use pata chala ki Akshara ne interview mein Abhir ke bare mein baat ki...... use mujhe sab aake batana chahiye tha...... jaise har baar karti hain jab koi problem mein phasti hai. Per usne aisa nahi kiya.

Aap hi batayiye........Agar baat Akshara ki nahi kisi aur ki hoti toh bhi kya Roohi mujhse chupati?Woh hi sab karti jo usne kiya?" Abhimanyu questioned Manjari.

"Shayad chupa leti. Aur yahi sab karti. Woh badi ho rahi hain. Thodi ziddi ho rahi hain. Use apne man ki karni thi. Usne kiya. Tu Akshara ko in sab mein jod ke bekar mein sab kuch uljha raha hain.

Aur tu yakeen ke saath kaise keh sakta hain ki woh aisa sirf Akshara ki wajah se kar rahi hain? Usne kaha tujhse? Tu apne man se kuch bhi mat bol." Manjari put up a defence.
