Abhi soon reached Goenka's and again lifted Akshu in his arms along with Abhir. He comes inside looking at him they all have huge grins which are soon replaced by frowns as they notice Akshu and Abhir in Abhi's arms as well.
Everyone was too stumped to say anything they were just looking at this. Looking at Abhi standing there with Akshu and Abhir in his arms with luggage things start to run wild in their brains.
Manish- "Abhi beta aapne Akshu aur Abhir ko aise apne arms main kyu utha rakha hain. Beta sab thik toh hain na please aap kuch boloiye mere man main bade bure khayal aa rahe hain."
Naitik- "Haa beta kuch boliye sab thik toh hain naa aur aap log luggage ke saath yaha bache hum logo ka dil toh baitha jaa raha hain. "
Keerti- "Aap log unhe andar toh aane dijiye ki saare sawal darwaje par khade khade hi puch lenge. Abhi beta aao ander aap."
Abhi walked inside the Mansion meanwhile Keerti asked one of the house help to carry the luggage into Akshu's room. Abhi walked inside the Mansion and said to everyone that.
Abhi- " I know aap logo ke dimaag main tarah tarah ke sawal aa rahe honge par aap log please thoda sabr rakhiye ek baar Akshu uth jaye main aapko sab bata dunga. Aur aap log chinta mat kijiye please Akshu and Abhir bilkul thik hain unhe kuch nahi hua hain bus dono so rahe hain who bhi gehri need main. Main aata hu"
Saying this Abhi walked inside her room and gently put both on the bed.
After Sometime,
Akshu woke up and looked around to see her room not in Birla's but in her maayka which is Goenka's. She gets confused as to how so she landed here. She clearly remembers she slept in Abhir's lap but in Birla Mansion so how come she is now at Goenka's? Startled by the voices, she turned to find Abhi and Abhir meticulously organizing her cupboard. She kept looking at them confused as to what she or matter of fact all of them doing here. Abhi turned and looked at Akshu awake.
Abhi- "Are Akshu uth gayi tum. chalo achha hua ab jaldi se freshen up ho jao aur chalkar khaana kha lo."
Akshu kept looking at them shocked and kept mum.
Abhi- "Akshu kya hua kuch bol kyu nahi rahi ho. chalo kuch khalo jaldi."
Akshu- "Abhi hum kaha par hain. aur kaise aaye hum yaaha."
Abhi- "Akshu that is not important for now what is more important is that hum abhi khana khayenge."
Abhir- "Haa mumma chalo jaldi jaldi freshen up ho jao phir hum sab milkar khana khayenge. aapko pata hai Kairav mamu ne aapki favorite ras malai banai hai chalo jaldi."
Akshu- "Abhir aap niche jaao mamu ke pass main aur aapke papa thodi der main aata hain."
Abhir nodded his head at Akshu's words and left for downstairs. Akshu turned towards Abhi and making a serious expression asked.
Akshu- " Tum bol rahe ho yaa phir main koi aur tarika apnau. So please let's cut the chase and focus on the matter at hand."
Abhi- "Akshu pehle toh I am very angry at you. Tumne mujhe kyu kuch nahi bataya. sab kuch akele kyu sehti rahi par ab nahi paani sar ke upar chala gay Maa kaise maa hokar kisi dusre maa ke upar ungli utha sakti hain."
Akshu- "Abhi....."
Abhi- "Nahi Akshu this is more than enough. Tum mujhse koi bhi baat chupa nahi sakti chahe usme kitni bhi shikayat yaa kisiki tareef chupi ho."
Akshu- "Par hum yaha kya kar rahe hain. kyu aaye hain hum yaha. "
Abhi- "Ek kaam karo tum bhi nichee chalo mere saath main apne sasural main sabkuch batane hi wala hu tum bhi sun lena. Ab chalo nichee chalte hain."
Without giving any heed to Akshu Abhi held her hand and pulled her with him downstairs. Akshu was asking him not to reveal anything to Goenka and Singhania but Abhi was adamant on his decision. Seeing him coming down they all gathered around them asking questions about the situation.
Naitik- "Abhi beta ab toh batao baat kya hui hai jab humne tum se pucha tha toh tumne kaha tha ki ek baar Akshu uth jaye tab batunga ab toh woh uth gayi hain ab toh bata dijiye jamaisa."
Manish- "(leaning forward) Abhi, we've been worried sick. Akshu, Abhir, and you suddenly leave Birla Mansion without any explanation—it's unlike you. What happened?"
Abhi- "(takes a deep breath) It's about Maa. She's been treating Akshu rudely for months now. I couldn't stay silent any longer. (pauses)"
Naitik- "(furrows his brow) But why? What could have triggered this sudden change in her behavior?"
Abhi- "(glancing at Akshu) Akshu has been trying to shield me from it, but I couldn't ignore the truth. Maa questions her motherhood. She believes Akshu neglects Abhir because she spends time with me. (voice tightens) She accused Akshu of prioritizing our relationship over her child.(Only if you knew Abhi if you knew you'd be ballistic)"
Kairav- "(shaking his head) That's absurd! Akshu loves Abhir more than anything. Why would Aunty think otherwise?"
Naksh- "(crossing his arms) And why didn't Akshu tell us about this?"
Akshu- "(voice trembling) I didn't want to burden anyone. After all the fiasco there was already so much mess Abhir had to deal with first me being his biological mother my surgery, his kidnapping, and Abhi's accident. Abhir deserves a peaceful environment, away from the tension."
Manish- "(clenching his fists) Manjari ji has lost sight of what matters. Akshu, you're an incredible mother. Abhi, thank you for standing up for her but sorry for your Mother I know I shouldn't say this but Akshu loves Abhir like her next heartbeat."
Abhi- "(looking at Akshu) She's my wife and Abhir's mother. I won't let anyone hurt them. We'll find a new home, away from this toxicity."
Naitik- "(nodding) You're doing the right thing, Abhi. Family should uplift, not tear down."
Akshu- "(holding Abhir close) We'll get through this, Abhir. We're a team."
Naksh- "(in his mind) Manjari ji ki toh main batata hu, mujhe pata hain abhi sab shaant hain par sabke dimaag main same chiz chal rahi hain."
