Akshu and abhi both are carrying their own baggage from past, losing her parents and the sole mother figure she knew and loved was dead too and she had to bear the brunt of aaru's hatred anger and accusations all her life, she chose prioritizing her family because she thinks after losing parents the remaining family is something she has to cherish and the love she can get only from them, she lived for her family and choose family over everything, that's how she's been raised she doesn't know anything better, she has been prioritizing her family all her life, it has become her innate nature choosing her family over everything, she can't help it, Abhimanyu came in her life just a few months and made her the happiest she has ever been but the lifelong habit doesn't go away easily, that's why she has problems when she has to balance both love and family,she loves Abhimanyu dearly and she doesn't want to take him for granted but her upbringing made her choose family over her own happiness and her peacemaking and sacrificing nature to avoid any conflict in family made things worse
Abhi is a recluse, he lost his childhood in his ruthless emotionless family, he had to be a saviour, a shield for his weak mother and while saving his mom and Neel he lost himself, he had to fight for love continuously since his childhood, he chose anger as his coping mechanism because he was a loner even though he had a big family, he didn't get the love and warmth from family and he craves it so much, when he found love he went all out, he did everything possible to make sure his love akshu is protected from every distress, he loved cherished and prioritized her over everything even over his self respect
Today he felt insecure because he felt whatever he does akshu will always prioritize her family over their love, he just wants acceptance and equal place in her heart, he doesn't want her to prioritize only him, he just wants her to choose both his love and her family because when any issue arises akshu cut abhi off and jumps to the side of her family, abhi is the one who is sidelined every single time
Akshara knows Abhimanyu's love is so deep and pure that she will always have his love no matter what and this knowledge made her so secure that she doesn't understand she is taking him for granted, treating him unfairly and I believe even though love is deep if efforts are not sufficient from both sides it dies eventually, abhi's grief is justified, my heart goes out for him because he is a giver and he gives his all when it comes to love but he is not appreciated and cherished enough, he should get TLC and akshu should show him what his place in her life and heart is ,he deserves to know his worth in her life, period.
Thanks for the tag Hari
Loads of love ❤
