Even when Abhira stayed with her mother, she kept yearning for a big family. And Armaan with his grand illusions promised her love and a big family. But none of that were ever real. Abhira's downfall started the day she agreed to marry Armaan again. And then stayed with him, even though he kept breaking his marriage vows from the day they got married. From then it was a cycle of abuse and forgiveness, where Abhira kept degrading herself further to please a man who did not deserve an ounce of her love and a family who used her as per their convenience. Most of the wrongs that happened with Abhira was her own making. Because if she had not forgiven Armaan in the first instance, he wouldn't have dared to hurt her ever again.
Abhira’s longing for a large, loving family was understandable. But throughout their marriage, KP was openly hostile towards her, constantly making indirect digs at her mother. One day, Abhira would lash out over the prenup, and the next, pretend everything was fine and play happy family.
Truthfully, their marriage was never built to last. During the early “deal marriage” phase, Armaan rarely defended her against KP’s attacks. He only took a stand when he wanted her back in his life. And once the family had accepted her, he no longer objected when KP humiliated his wife. Abhira should have seen the signs—the same man who made grand promises ended up arriving drunk on their wedding night.
Armaan has always wounded those who are present in his life for the sake of those who are absent.
Most importantly, no one will respect Abhira unless she learns to respect herself. Ever since she fell into this so-called love, she’s rarely prioritised her self-respect—except in fleeting moments.
