Akshu is about to tell Abhi but Kairav comes and says Aarohi is awake. Abhira go into Aarohi’s ward and Abhi leaves them alone, saying that he knows Aarohi will be upset to see him when she wakes up + he doesn’t want to give either sister stress. It is moments like these that reveal how reasonable and kind he truly is. No matter how much he hates Aarohi, he knows the value she holds for Akshu.
Meanwhile the families get into an argument. The Birlas express their discontent about Abhi taking such a huge decision without consulting them. That is what they are most upset about. They don’t want Abhira’s relationship to change their dynamics, and I don’t blame them here. This was a huge decision that Abhi should have consulted them about. Swarna says it’s not Akshu’s fault, and Harsh agrees…but he says that all Abhi sees is Akshu. Again, the dynamics are being set loud and clear.
Parth nods at Kairav to take the Goenkas away. It will be the children who keep trying to maintain peace admits the chaos and we are definitely going to see more of the generations clashing.
Aarohi tries to blackmail Akshu saying she will go to jail, etc. She starts yelling and Abhi hears her. He says that if this time ASKHARA falls into Aarohi’s manipulations, he will be upset with her. He is getting so frustrated of Aarohi’s abuse towards Akshu. But, this is nothing new. Even after the fire photo revelation, all he cared about was Akshu. She is all that matters.
Abhi comes into the room and says something major has happened. Aarohi says she’s upset that Akshu gets everything handed to her when she has to work hard. This is so ironic because Aarohi is literally the most entitled person ever, and even in this moment when she is scared of going to jail, her jealously remains constant.
Abhi takes Akshu away into a room with a curtain and says he needs to talk to her. Right then, he gets called in for an emergency. Akshu is shaking and not in her senses. She hears someone come back into the room and thinks its Abhi. She confesses everything, saying she cannot meet his eyes so for him to stay there. I honestly don’t blame her and don’t think she’s dumb about this. She is so terrified and this is how any person would act under such circumstances.
Of course, it is Mahima behind the curtain and she leaves before Akshu can see her. Akshu runs looking for Abhi and overhears 2 doctors saying Abhi was really mad and went into the OT. Akshu is heartbroken because she knows Abhi always voices his concerns but this time he was silent, so he must be extra mad. She has flashbacks of all their memories coming undone.
Mahima sees Akshu outside of the OT and has a huge villain look in her eyes. Just then, harsh takes her into the board room and she says she has to tell them something.
Aarohi comes and Akshu tells her she confessed to Abhi. Aarohi looks so shocked. It is as if she cannot believe that her manipulation did not work. Regardless of the outcome, today Abhi’s love won over the trauma that Aarohi’s has instilled in Akshu since their childhood. It is a huge day for Akshu.
Precap is Abhi coming with the cops and it’s most likely a dream. I’m going to assume it is so we can be pleasantly surprised if not.
As for where this track is headed, no way in hell this creates a MU between Abhira. It is yet another parallel of Mahima trying to create MU, but all the parallels are ending correctly this time, so she will surely fail. And once she fails, she will be even more bitter towards Akshu, setting up the dynamics for post-shaadi.
I see this going in 2 ways.
- Mahima waits for a dhamaka moment to reveal this + but then, Abhi already has the footage of the 2 real culprits. He uses that to prove Akshu’s innocence like a Ruby track parallel.
- The sisters actually did the accident, but Akshu tells him that she thought she told him and explains again… he is angry for a minute and then he gets over it.
Either way, I don’t see any separation.
Thanks for the re-cap Pooja!
I agree with the two outcomes you have laid out.
Abhi is going to get angry for a bit but he will eventually calm down and things will get resolved.
Akshara at the very least this time spoke out the truth. Just unfortunately the person she ended up telling this truth to has her own agenda now. Mahima is going to protect her position in the family and of course protect her family (her sister). The angry in her eyes said it all to me.
If any re-seting is going to be involved it is that now the Birla elders have doubts on Akshara. Before it was just Arohi but now they may view both sister neither better than the other. And I am purely speaking from their point of view of what they have seen and witness. They do not know anything about Arohi guilt tripping Akshara for years, etc.
The only person aware of this fact is Abhi. As to whether Abhi has told Neil or Manjari that is up to debate. But I bet he hasn't told them anything. Neil is smart enough to read between the lines and see Arohi’s nature so although he may not know the truth he will be on Akshara’s side.
We all wanted someone to take over the kaand department now Mahima is involved. It wouldn't surprise me either if she told Anand and Harshvardhan so she can get them on her side and they basically come down on Abhi for his unilateral decision making.
Speaking of which didn't think there was a need for Anand to say anything about what happened with Abhi and the music department as that is a business matter. So we can take it too ways.
1) he is super mad so he decided to blurt it out and make the Gonekas feel bad
2) he sees the relationship between the families as one and felt like this needed to be side to the Goneka elders
Whatever is coming up is going to be a test of Abhi and Akshara's relationship. It is going to be a test of communication and trust.
