BROKEN BONDS

Abhimanyu's POV

What? What am I doing? Was I-? Was I really blaming and leaving my- my Akshu? NO. HOW COULD I? Aarohi, the girl who wanted us to part ways the most, the girl who didn't wish love for her sister untill a few days ago, the girl who was marrying me and seperating us, the girl we doubted of in all her steps, be it her work in hospital or her love for Neil, she is telling me to get back to Akshara, which means I really did something seriously terrible to Akshu, sh- she is my love, my wife, my late childrens' mother, my Neil's Bhabhi, how cou- NEIL, yes my Neil, he is, he i- Neil, how can you leave me alone? How did you jus-?? Yes, I love her, but can I forgive her for taking my Neil away from me? NEVER. My mother, my family, my Neil's wife and child, they are all suffering because she took him.
But she didn't know Abhi! She just went to the hospital, I don't even know what happened. Aar- Aarohi was right, I fee- I feel miserable, treating my princess like that. How did I just blame her? I always got mad at Aarohi when she blamed her, and now did I just not do that same thing? How can I hate her? On what grounds did I question Aarohi? Obviously she is the better one here, I couldn't even take account for my mistakes, and she, she is definitely something, she takes account of her mistakes, she accepts it and learns from it, and she returns with a bang, fire, really. And most importantly, she is here to keep us together, to explain me, to save me from destruction even after what we did to her.
Ma is not well, the family has some issues with Akshara, but does it mean we'll actually leave each other? No, but I- I need time, time to process so much of grief and loss, I can't leave her side, she is miserable too, but I know she would be more hurt here. Wha- What should I do?

"Ab- Abhi", said Akshu moving towards him and clutching the sleeve of the white kurta he wore, "Ple- ple...aise mujhse itna naraaz mat ho Abhi, I know this loss, it's not something to be forgiven or forgotten, but ple- please trust me, Abhi, the situation was really really bad that time. I was helpless. I swear I had no idea Neil would land up in such danger, I'm sorry, I am so so sorry, I'm so-", continued Akshara, sobbing hard. This state, these words, obviously broke and melted Abhi's heart.
"Aar- Aaru please Aaru, please don't, main sach keh rahi hun I just want your happiness, really Aar-"
"Akshara, calm down", said Aarohi getting a grip on her. "Right now, it's about you two, Akshara, please, please don't make this mistake, you two", she said looking at both of them, "I- I want to go to my room, Akshara, the baby needs rest I guess, but does not mean you both will forget what I told you, okay?", she asked as if wanted a promise from to stay together, but when she saw them only locking eyes of confusion, sadness, anger, she again said, "Okay?"
The couple knew she wouldn't move without getting her answer and taking rest right now was important for her, so they assured her and she left the room.

"Ak- Akshara, I do...n't hate you Akshara, how can I ? Never, never ever. I jus- Aks- you know I-", tried speaking, Abhimanyu, after a few seconds.
"Shhh", she said and hugged him with the maximum force she could.  She had obviously noticed that he had not called her 'Akshu' which sent a sudden pang in her heart but she rather focused on the emotions and feelings wavering through him and embraced him.
They stood like that for about fifteen minutes, lost into each other's embrace, there was a tranquility in the hug, which they needed the most after the worst day they had just experienced, the lives they had lost, just in a day, the loved ones they got separated from and this hug assured their hearts that it couldn't afford to leave this love now.
It was tru love, their real solace.
