Ties that bind us together

Naira is thinking deeply about what Abhi has just revealed. She had no idea there were so many discrepancies in Akshara's case, and she is still unaware of many things. Why did Kartik never talk about this? Her daughter was not with them till now because these people didn't do the investigation properly. She is cursing herself for being so lost in her grief that she forgets what's going on around her. 

"Abhi, why didn't you say about this before?" Naira asked him. She was in a delusion that they had done everything in their power to find her daughter. 

"Aunty...woh...Kartik Uncle and Kairav asked me not to tell you anything regarding Akshara's case as you know...", Abhi paused.

"As I know what?" Naira pushed him to give her answers.

"Umm...they believed that you could not be able to take any news regarding Akshara's case. Also, your medical issues are a big factor for us", Abhi told her earnestly. He never wanted to hide anything from Naira, but he could not go against her family's wishes. He even argued with Kairav when he told him about keeping things away from his mother.

Naira closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath. She was tired of her family treating her like fragile goods. Yes, there are some medical concerns, and yes, she is more emotional than before but still, she could go to any extent to find her daughter. She opened her eyes and told Abhi firmly, "From now onwards you will tell me everything you know about my Akshi. Bahut salon inn logo pr trust kr lia maine to find my daughter. Now, I will find my daughter on my own. Promise me Abhi you will tell me everything regarding my daughter. We will work as a team to find her".

Abhi can clearly hear determination in her tone. Determination of a mother to go any extent to find her daughter. Abhi stopped the car and looked her in the eye, "I promise, Aunty. Apki beti ko hum dono sath milkar dhoondenge", he said firmly. He never wanted to hide anything from her too because he knew that she is the strongest person in Goenka family, but he couldn't make her family understand that.

"Thank you", she answered. Abhi again started the car to go home. Whereas Naira called the only person who would answer her questions sincerely without sugar coating anything. 

"Hello bhaiya...how are you?" Naira called her brother Naksh to get some answers. She knew Kartik would be still angry with her so clearly, he wouldn't tell her anything. Abhi raised his eyebrows he didn't know Naira would call immediately to get answers. He was going to suggest her that, but it looks like she is in more hurry than him.

"Hello Naira. I am okay bacha. Tu kaisi hai aur Delhi mai sab log kaise hai", Naksh replied casually.

"Bhaiya where are you right now?" she asked impatiently. She didn't want to waste time in chit-chatting.

"Umm...I am at the office. What happened? Sab theek hai na. Tu theek hai na", Naksh asked worriedly. He was sitting in the board room discussing the annual sales of the company. 

"Bhaiya, I need to talk to you urgently. Can you talk now?" She gets straight to the point.

"Naira, kya hua hai beta. Koi problem hai kya", asked Naksh in panic. He quickly dismissed the meeting. Nothing matters for him in front of his sister. Krish and Naitik seated there waiting to know what's wrong with her.

"Bhaiya sabse pehle kisko pta chala tha ki Akshi ghar pr nhi hai", Naira asked him. Naksh scrunched his forehead in confusion. Why is she asking about this suddenly?

 "Tu yeh sab kyun pooch rhi hai achanak se".

"Bhaiya, mere pass time waste krne ke liye nhi hai. Please tell me who discovered that Akshi was kidnapped", she asked urgently. She put the phone on speaker so Abhi could also hear everything.
