"ENOUGH"she thundered, startling all of them.

Abhimanyu turned and looked on shocked, she heard it?

No matter what he holds within himself he never wanted to scratch the deepest wound of theirs.

" Akshara tm gyi nhi ? " Shefali asked, dumbfounded.

"Kyunki mujhe yha aana heei nhi chaiye tha"she said tears brimming in her eyes.

Abhimanyu badly wanted to comfort her, but what about his own actions?

His conscience questioned him.

But even their heart understood each other's maybe even in silence.

"Rona bnd kro, akshara, kyunki tmhe aana heei nhi tha, aur yhi sch h" Manjari screamed at her.

Akshara turned her face sideways in disgust and hurt and then looked back at manjari with red eyes, if only looks could burn her down.

"Mujhe aur bhi bhaut kuch nhi krna tha, jaise ki aapko ma nhi maanna chaiye tha, uske liye kya kehna chahengi aap? " She lashed back.

"Izzat se baat kr, akshu"aarohi intervened.

But damn, the ghee was poured into fire, today.

"Izzat kon kise, sikha rha h?" She screamed back at her.

Aarohi flinched, she had never seen akshara screaming this high at her, no matter what she would say.

"Akshara chillao mt, jo tmne kiya, uske baad toh bilkul nhi" Mahima interjected.

But it seemed, every damn person intervening today, was just marking their own doom by akshara.

She turned towards mahima and answered, enough to be audible to everyone ''Toh uske hisaab se toh aap mt heei boliye Dr. Mahima, kyunki aapne jo mere bhai ke saath, bina glti ke, uske baad toh aap bhi bolne ki liye sahi nhi h" Mahima looked shocked.

"Akshara, sch ye bhi h ki,teri vjh se hmne Neil aur dono bchchon ko kho diya, uss nuksaan ki bharpayi koi nhi kr skta, tune bhaut kuch Cheena h"manjari accused again.

" Ma bs, kriye, jo ho gya usme kisi ki koi glti nhi thi" Abhimanyu finally spoke.

Akshara tilted her head towards him, as if saying 'this is what you had to say that day'.

"Koi nhi, Dr. Abhimanyu.... Uss din nhi bole toh aaj bhi akeli heei sahi" She said tearing up.

"Kya bola tha tmne, uss din call pe? Tmne apne bachche kho diye n?" Abhimanyu inhaled a deep breathe, knowing what's coming his way.

"Sahi heei bola tha usne, teri vjh se, I lost Neil, as well" Aarohi intervened.

"Tu toh chup heei reh" Akshara slammed her.

"Aksh... Akshara chilo mt, rooh jg jaayegi" Abhimanyu said loudly.

"Nhi... Bhaut hogya... Aaj you all listen, vo nhi jagegi.... I know it better when it comes to one's Comfortableness.

Toh abhimanyu, according to you I went with Neil to the concert even after you told me not to go ,right?"

"Ha... Apni zid ki vjh se"

" I didn't ask you .I just wanted to know whether you believe this or not. Now listen ...with all your ears .I had severe pain in my stomach that day,ask Shefali bhabhi .

Now, when we were coming back I got a call from the NGO girls...telling me that they are in dangered...that's when I need spotted them on the road

...maybe human trafficking...

I wanted to call the police but Neel didn't let me he said he will just go first ...to save the girls and in all that that unfortunate incident happened.... " She inhaled a deep breathe and wiped the tear from corner of her eyes.

Abhimanyu looked on shocked. And recalled aarohi's words "vo concert chli gyi".

Abhimanyu was now finally done, with all this and asked back with tears " Mana ki tm jo bol rhi vo sch h.... Pr mere Bachche?"

Maintaining a firm eye contact with abhimanyu, akshara said " Tumhare Nahin the vo... Mere bhi the... Chlo maan liya ki tmne khoya bhi.... Uss dard ka kya jo ek maa ne jhela... Apne ek bachche ko kho kr, dusre ke sahare jeena shuru kiya toh vo bhi cheen gya... Shayd tm sb ki vjh se, uss dard ka kya abhimanyu, jo maine sha ye sun kr ki meri vjh se neil chla gya , jabki kisine suna bhi nhi mujhe, uss dard ka kya, jb tmne mujhe out of surprise divorce diya, kya fark tha tumhare aur aarohi mei uss din? Ki vo meri bhen thi aur tm mere sb kuch bn gye the... Lekin ilzaam vhi tha..."

She slumped to the ground crying hard, six years... Six years she had been keeping it all in, this was bound to happen but like this?

Abhimanyu was still processing what he heard, did she said that she lost another child after the first one had already gone? Did they not loose both their babies?

Abhimanyu stopped down to her level and with a hot lump in his throat And goosebumps all over his body, held akshara by her shoulders and asked " 'dusre ke sahare jeena shuru kiya toh vo bhi cheen gya...' ye kya mtlb h akshara?"

Akshara regained her senses, and jerked his hands, they no longer seemed to make her feel same safe and warm .

"Aise heei tmne uss call hang kiya tha n.... Jb maine ye btane ke liye call kiya, apni self respect ko side rhi kr, Ki abhi hmara ek baby h... Abhi bhi, hmare dono babies nhi gye h hme chod kr... Toh tmne kya bola tha? " She asked with red eyes staring firm in his eyes.

"Matlab hmara ek bchcha abhi bhi h" Manjari manifested as usual, forgetting all the stupidities she did with akshara.

"Nhi.... Aapko btate hue utna dukh nhi ho rha h... Jitna mujhe hua tha 6 saal phele, jb maine khoya tha.... " Akshara thundered at manjari.

She seemed in no mood today to give respect to any of the birlas,the way she used to; maybe because of the suffering she had under gone because of them.

"Kya hua tha, akshu? Saaf saaf btao" Bde papa intervened.

Akshara passed him a look and then looked at abhimanyu, she interpreted, even he wanted to know, what actually happened.

But how can someone expect her to tell them everything, while going through it all, yet again?

"Akshara... Hu mai... Akshu 6saal phele heei Mr gyi thi... Aur mre hue log zind nhi hote... Just because mai normal baat rhi thi aap sb se.. Iska koi mtlb nhi h Ki... Aap log ne kuch kiya nhi... Rooh Ki vjh se thi Aur vaise bhi Kya krenge, aap sb jaan kr? Mai zinda rhu ya na rhu kya frk h? " She asked.

"Fark h... Fark h....kyunki tmhari vjh se bhi kisi ne jeena shuru kiya thaa"Abhimanyu replied.

The birlas felt it.

"Kis haq se? Jaana chaoge? Tm?"Akshara asked.

" Tmhara husband hone ke naate, apne bacchon ka father hone ke naate"

"Divorce hone ke baad bhi husband? " Akshara passed a sad chuckle.

" Papers court gye ya nhi, ye maiine rhkta h" He retorted.

"Jis mukaam pe tmne papers pe sign liya tha mujhse, usse jyada maiine kuch nhi h" She teared up again.

"Kya hua tha, akshu ?" Abhimanyu asked again, ignoring her words.

"Tm mere ghaav ko phir taza kr rhe ho, jaise uss din sirat ma ko bich mei la kr kiye the... Pr jaisa Ki Tmne kha ki tmhara haq h jaane ka... Apne Bcchon ka father hone ke naate... Toh phir se sahi ghaavon ko kuredna bnta h" She said affirming him, and nodding in pain.
