Nice episode. Honestly Abhi wanting to quit makes complete sense to me. He is sick of Harsh insulting the people he loves the most, and the hospital and Harsh are one and the same. There is so much baggage associated with that relationship that he wants to start over. Whether or not he will actually leave, who knows. But, his feelings are completely valid and understandable.
Akshu called Abhi using O Khana. That was the song that first brought him to her… it was Khanaji’s way of bringing Abhi into her life, and that song is his safe space now. He feels immediately drawn and at home when he hears it. For the first time, she sang it directly to him. She told him that she has been waiting for him her entire life and expressed her deepest emotions through the melody. And in the process, she healed him… just a little tiny bit. She took him out of his pain and stress for just a moment.
Loved watching Abhi and Akshu have another conversation about childhood. They are slowly getting to know each other more and more. Abhi telling her about how the hospital was his playground was the perfect touch of how a couple shares the smallest details about their lives with each other. Abhi says that he has already quit and now he can’t think, and Akshu asks him to reconsider. Again, she is trying to make him less impulsive, but Abhi is Abhi. He acts with his heart, and not his mind… but, he is slowly learning. The whole salary nok-jhok was too cute. When they were falling into the leaves, Abhi made sure her head was protected. It is these little gestures that show how deeply he cares about her. Them running around and laughing was really sweet… both of them had traumatic childhoods that forced them to grow up way too soon, but they can let their inner children out around each other.
Akshu found the wishing bone and made her wish… and like always, she asked that whatever is best for them should happen. The truth needs to come out, whatever it is, in order for healing to take place… and therefore that is exactly what will happen… and it will be for the best.
As Abhi was leaving, Akshu could sense something else was wrong. She noticed it in his eyes without him even saying anything. That is what love is.
We all know that Akshu is going to unite the Birla household and bring welcomed changes, but because of her, Manjari is already gaining strength. By fighting for Abhira’s love, she is taking a stand for the first time in her life.
Aarohi thanking Abhi for everything she learned was honestly very mature of her. She truly does seem like she is moving on. But, Abhi is not as forgiving, and he will not accept her until she treats Akshu better. She even said that Akshu is so lucky to have Abhi… showing that she thought they were talking and didn’t care. However, Aarohi being her Sherlock self of course had to report to Akshu immediately.
Anisha is definitely mentally traumatized, and Akshu will definitely heal her. I think in the precap Akshu is upset that Abhi didn’t tell her something is going on in his family… she is not doubting him. Also, how sweet that Akshu and Manjari are both in his wallet!
