I thought we will have our own lollipops instead of makers throwing it upon us😆. I am tired of dream sequences. Let's have an AbhiRa real romance.
Prologue
Abhimanyu and Akshara are now married. It was luck or you call it a miracle that Arohi's entire truth and Akshara's sacrifice came out at the right time. After a lot of heated arguments, both the families finally agreed for the wedding. All thanks to Neil, who had played the CCTV footage at the right time. No one knew how he found this and put things together. Abhimanyu and Akshara were thankful to him, though, Akshara was guilty and feeling bad for her sister. However, she was convinced by her Bade Papa this time that
"In life certain things are meant only for us. Our names our etched in it forever and it will not leave us even if we want to get them out of our life. If we are destined to something, even the universe cannot stop that from happening."
Arohi left the hall fuming in anger. She did not stay back for any of the rituals.
Morning after the Night
Golden rays of the morning sun peeped into their room. It was THEIRS now. Abhimanyu somehow managed to wake up as the previous night was very much draining and too many things had happened in one single day. Everything changed overnight. He looked at the watch and it was 8.00 AM. He stretched out and turned to see Akshara. The pride and content he had in his face that she is finally HIS and only HIS. He bent down and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks. He caressed her hair and thought to himself ,"I am sorry. Tum itna kuch seh rahi thi aur maine upar se bahut dard diya. I will compensate for every pain that I gave you." Saying so, he got down the bed and headed to the shower. It was almost forty five minutes, he came out relaxed after his meditation session. He felt so light and happy after a long time. He picked up his phone from the charger to check his schedule. He had a queue of patients today as he had been unavailable the last two days due to the wedding and other rituals.
Akshara woke up still feeling lazy and stretching out. Slowly opening her eyes, the sight in front of her gave her goose bumps, sending chills down her spine. Abhimanyu caught her gazing at him making her feel embarrassed. She quickly tuck her face in a pillow. Abhimanyu was excited to see her get affected by him, he came closer with a mischievous smile. He pulled the pillow and looked at her. She had shut her eyes tightly and clutching the bedsheet in a fist with her toes curled. Placing his hands on hers, he moved steadily up towards her shoulders building up the sexual tension between them. Tucking her hair behind ears, he nuzzled at the sides of her neck. Her breathing became heavier and heart started thumping loudly. She felt as though the entire Birla house would now start hearing her heart beats. He planted soft kisses as he moved from her shoulders to her neck. He was about to kiss her ear when Akshara mustered courage and tried to whisper something to him only to realize that her voice had given up and only air was coming out. Abhimanyu let out a laugh on her struggle. Cupping her face, "mujhe nahi pata ki tumhe main itna affect karta hoon. Bolo..."
Akshara,"Pehla din hai sasuraal mein, I am already late so hum ye session raat ko continue kare." (she chuckled).
"Dekho koi pressure nahi hai, tum aaram se fresh ho jaao, phir tyaar ho kar aana. Waise maa toh aaj poora paagal hogayi hogi tumhare aane ki khushi mein."
Akshara smiled at him on that and placed a kiss on his forehead and went towards the bathroom. But before entering, she warned him, "Ye jo free show dikha rahe the ne subah subah ye sirf mere liye hona chahiye. Kisi aur ki nazar bhi lagi na toh dekh lena."(remembering the Ruby incident). Ek aur baat, apne hospital cabin mein na kapde change karna band kar do" saying so she went in.
Abhimanyu smiled to himself at her dadgiri but he liked it. He has always wanted that from her. He had wanted her to claim her right on him. Her name was etched in his heart the day he met her. His thoughts were disturbed by a call. There was an emergency and he had to rush. He cannot wait for her first Rasoi to happen. Though he felt bad but still work came first for him. He left leaving a voice message.
An hour later,
Akshara came downstairs and headed to the kitchen straight. Manjari had been waiting for her so that she can prepare her first dish. Manjari informed her that everyone has left for work as they had some emergency to attend. Akshara felt bad that nobody waited for "pehli rasoi" and also guilty at the same time for being so late. Manjari, Parth and Neil cheered her up. While Manjari suggested her to make gajar ka halwa and pack it for Abhi. Suddenly an idea flashed Akshara's mind, she made, packed and was about to leave when Manjari asked her, "Aunty..." she corrected "Maa"... Akshara became emotional and hugged her, still crying, she said "it's been long since I called Maa...." Manjari felt really bad for her. She pulled her back, cupped her face,"Ssshhhh... Tum aaj se meri bahu nahi beti" wiping her tears.
"Waise ye Abhi ke liye leke jaa rahi ho na" raising her eyebrows and smiling. Akshara started blushing top to toe,"Maa woh main....". Manjari interrupting her, "Sab samajh aa raha hai mujhe". Parth, Neil and Nishtha also joined in pulling her legs. Akshara brushed them off saying, "Main toh bas halwa dene jaa rahi hoon aur apna kaam karne." and she ran away leaving them behind who were all happy to see the love birds finally together and smiling.
At the Hospital
She was on her way to Abhi's cabin when some of the junior doctors and staff caught hold of her congratulating her. Abhi who had noticed her entering the campus was waiting for her in the cabin for a long time. Giving up on waiting for her, he came out to check why it was taking her time to come and found that she was caught in a conversation with the staff. He started getting restless as nobody was letting her come to him. While he entered his cabin for a short while to pick a call, he noticed from inside a man clearly flirting with her. Still being on his phone, he came and stood right next to her. The man was all praises, "Ms.Goenka, aapke awaaz ke saath aap bhi bahut hi khoobsoorat hai. Thanks for sending me music samples to hear. Aapki awaaz sunkar khud ko rok nahi paaya aap se milne se isi liye chala aaya." Abhimanyu had lost it completely. He cut the call, gritting his teeth, he corrected him, "It is Mrs. Abhimanyu Birla and not Ms.Goenka. Thank you for the kind words and may you leave now." (showing him the entrance) leaving him completely shocked.
Holding Akshara's hands tightly, he walked towards his cabin still fuming in anger. The words "Aapki awaaz sunkar khud ko rok nahi paaya aap se milne se isi liye chala aaya" kept ringing in his ears. Who better than him would know what her voice can do. When someone like him who did not believe in love and marriages fell hard for her, then he can imagine a normal person's state of mind. She seemed to have a magnetic voice whose pull cannot be avoided even if someone wants to. It happens involuntarily, without their own knowledge. Reaching the cabin, he locked it from in. He started his rant, "Kya hai ye sab. Tum kyun sab ke saath baat karti ho??? Tumhe sirf mere saath time nahi spend karna hai, mujhse baatein nahi karni hai. Kab se wait kar raha hoon tumhara." Akshara left out a smile as she saw him cribbing like a kid. "Tumhe hasi aa rahi hai." completely irritated now, he turned to face the wall. Standing in front of him, she caught both her ears asking him sorry. Still he would not budge, so she immediately took the box out and handed over a spoon of halwa, making a puppy face, she asked him "please... maine banaya hai. Pehli Rasoi tha mera aur tum jaldi jaldi chale gaye. Soch main khud tumhe aake doon." At that he smiled and said, "Ab itni door aayi ho toh khila bhi do." Akshara fed him a spoonful of halwa continuing to speak, "I am sorry maine tumhe bahut dard diya hai aaj tak. I am sorry I was so selfish ki maine sirf apni behen ke baare mein socha tumhare baare nahi. I am really sorry." A tear drop escaped from the corner of her eyes and he was quick to stop it mid way with his thumb. Wiping it, he started caressing her cheeks and the other hand tucking her hair behind, "Sssshhhh.... bas hogaya ye sorry, ye dard.... ab se sirf pyaar hoga humare beech." She nodded her and realised that he has been playing with her skin and his hands slowly moved towards her lips from the cheeks. He touched her lips, caressed them sending her chills. However, Akshara gathering up courage and pushing his hands away, "Hospital hai ye... chodo mujhe". Abhimanyu pulled her towards him by her waist, "Mera hospital, mera cabin aur biwi meri.... so I don't care." He lifted her chin up and slowly pulled her into a kiss when Akshara's phone beeped for a message disturbing their moment.
Precap - Abhimanyu entered his room and mesmerised with the decor of his room. There were scented candles, a pathway filled with flower petals leading him to their bed, bed decorated with roses. A table decorated for their dinner which was perfect for a candle light effect. "Akshara" he gasped.
P.S. Sorry couldn't complete in one part. I had so much to write and didn't know how to cut it short. Please bear with this. I hope this made sense and I am sorry for any errors. I have written it on spot, no preparations, no proof reading. Kindly do read and leave in your comments.
