Abhimaan : Finding light In darkness

Morning Sunlight creeped inside windows mildly creating a positive aura. Abhira disturbed by the light stirred in sleep and woke up lazily. It took minutes for her to adjust to the surroundings. Only then the events of the previous day came crashing down. She prayed to her Mumma that she stays with them in unwinding the past also give them courage to fight against their own people. Armaan too stirred as Abhira was continuously moving and she didn't realize her movements as she was held up in previous day. Armaan now woke up completely and assured her that they would do the best as they are together in this. Abhira agreed with him. Both went to check on Ma luckily she was fast asleep. SO they decided to get ready. Abhira had her things with her as she had instructed badi Ma to send her things last night. But neither Armaan nor Madhav had their things. Abhira asked him to go to home to get ready and come back before Ma wakes up also asked him to get things for Papa. Armaan reluctantly agreed after receiving Krish's Voice message. He very well knew if Vidhya didn't see him then she might create another scene.

Armaan entered inside the Poddar Mansion to see a distressed Vidhya on the Living room Sofa. Armaan was not in a mood to entertain her but he had to maintain his façade in order to avoid suspicion. Vidhya just like a dutiful mother hovered over Armaan stating that she was worried for him. That ill mannered girl didn't show up deliberately to insult him and she just went overboard with her rants. Unable to bear her he asked her to stop and he is in no mood to listen to all this crap. He needs to leave to court as he has an important hearing. With that he strode of to his room. Vidhya was waiting in the hall itself as to avoid any other family members interaction with Armaan before her.

Vidhya was bewildered by Armaan's behavior. She was worried that if Armaan got to know that she planned everything to separate him from Abhira then he might hate her and also leave this family which will result in her downfall. She somehow must stop the family members in revealing to Armaan to whatever she blurted yesterday. This can be done only with the help of Maasa. She went to Maasa's room to ask her favor in binding Armaan to her like a puppet he used to be.

Abhira got ready and was ordering few things which are needed to set up the kitchen. Nurse also arrived on time and she instructed the nurse about their work patterns and what will be her timings at home. Madhav who just woke up found Abhira instructing the nurse. He just gets amused by this little girl who has immense strength to tackle all the obstacles which come in her way and yet stay positive, cheerful. He was so happy that she is in Armaan's life. Because the Poddars have made Armaan a undefeatable lawyer but he was still that scared child who often feels that he might be abandoned any moment . This fear had destroyed his capabilities of thinking on his own when it comes to family matters. he just abide by Maasa and Vidhya and believed all his life that whatever he is doing was the right thing to do. He offered a silent prayer that his children should not face any separation as that will destroy them both. Abhira noticed Madhav standing in the doorway and asked him to come and sit while she gets his tea ready.

Madhav happily obliged to his daughter. Armaan too came by then he just carried a bag with Madhav's belongings. He was just showered and he didn't even bother to comb his hair. he was dishelved completely. Abhira questioned him on What's the hurry but he simply said he couldn't stand at Poddar house even a minute longer than needed. Abhira didn't question further she just went to make tea for all of them. Shivani who got up by then also refreshed with the help of nurse and came down to the living room. Abhira came with the refreshments and all sat in comforting silence and having their tea as a family. The peace in belongingness in this simple thing was never experienced by Armaan. 

After done Abhira said Ma that all three needs to go back for work and she will be accompanied by the nurse. She needn't worry as all will be back after work. between this if any case of emergency arises she can call any of them they will come ASAP. Shivani felt a immediate panic in her but she understood that she can always hold the strings so tightly then that might suffocate her family. So she smiled and agreed that she would do good. Armaan also instructed her not to go out whatever is needed she can inform him he will get them on his way back home. She did agree for that too without any questions. After a quick breakfast all 3 left for work. Shivani came to the door to see them off.

A Man of age mid fifties saw Shivani and was shocked to see her alive. he sweated badly but he also wanted to know is it the same woman whom he once hit with his truck. He just approached the trio on the pretext of their neighbor. He asked them are you people new to this place as I haven't seen you in this area before. They told him that they owned the property but never occupied it and now they are here. Armaan didn't want to indulge in conversation with him as he could feel that he was not right. Just then one old woman who happened to cross them recognized Madhav and enquired him about his well being. She also told she always remembers them as how happy they were with their son Aru. The truck driver understood the woman was none other than Shivani. He just excused and rushed out from there. Abhira and Armaan found his suspicious. Only then that lady also noticed him she identified him to be the truck driver who has gone to prison for causing accidents. It stuck the trio why that man left in a hurry. Is it possible that he was the one who caused the accident. Madhav asked on of his constables to lay behind the driver in ununiform to track his movements and whereabouts.

By the time Armaan also got a call from his friend Shravan who is a Doctor in a mental asylum. Armaan had sent all of Shivani's reports to him. He called to inform that Shivani's Psychological disorder was not due to accident but due to heavy medication and excessive shock treatments given to her post the accident. Her treatment went on right direction only in the past decade and right now she is improving well. He also informed that these kind of treatments will be done only in asylums when the patient is out of control and there are high chances for Shivani to be kept in Some kind of Asylum. He also told that he will circulate these reports along with Shivani's Pic to the Asylums he knew and will inform him once he receives any information.
