Her only priority was to bring Neil home and she was also under a lot of stress. Manish wants to say something to defend Akshu, but Swana diffuses the situation.
Abhi tells them Neil doesn’t want to come back and asks if he can stay here. Kairav supports Abhi and says he is family. As shitty as the Goenkas are, they do come through for the Birlas time and time again no matter how nasty the Birlas are to them.
Harsh is thinking about his reputation and Anand says the only way to fix this is for Harsh to apologize to Manjari — I guess Anand thinks that Abhi might fall for this too. Do they even know Abhi?
The media is outside when Abhira and Mahima get back. Akshu is about to trip on her way inside, but Abhi saves her without even looking at her. He knows that if he looks at her, he will melt.
Abhi tells Manjari that Neil will come back soon. Parth accuses Shef of leaking this to the media — literally he is a horrible husband!
Harsh fakes his apology to Manjari and Manjari gets so scared and shocked, as does Abhi. HC’s and Ami deserve all of the awards in the world for this scene. Their expressions were incredible. The way in which they are both respectively traumatized by Harsh, the abuser, was so real in this moment. Abhi looks like he is in so much pain…. And he keeps looking at Manjari’s reaction. This is exactly why I can never blame him for how attached he is to his mother. He grew up protecting her, witnessing her abuse… more than parents, children are impacted through this.
Abhi starts laughing and says that he knows what Harsh is doing. What exactly is he apologizing for? He has done so much damage to Manjari. Again, this scene was so real. It shattered my heart into 10000 pieces.
Harsh says he doesn’t know the full story, which makes me think there might be more, or he is just being dramatic. Harsh again says this is between husband and wife, but relationships cannot be separated. Manjari is Abhi’s mom, and no one has been more impacted by their abusive relationship than Abhi. That is the sad reality.
Abhi goes and tells the media that Neil is Harsh’s kid and his brother. He denies all other questions. The music in this scene was from a horror film and troll worthy.
Manjari gives another death stare to Akshu. Pathetic.
Manish is talking to Swarna at night worried for Akshu and how no one would have even tried to see if she is actually did what she is being accused of. Redemption after yesterday, but it doesn’t change the fact that the Goenaks are mute spectators and don’t question Aarohi. It’s easy for them to blame the Birlas, but they don’t defend Akshu either. Manish says that a day will come when he will go sunao the Birlas for how they treat Akshu. He hopes that Abhi supports her in this… the truth had to come out.
Akshu comes into the room, she trips and falls… she clings onto Abhi on the bed, and then hugs and back hugs them. Please do not call her a doormat or weak. She is simply trying to get her husband to talk to her. She did not apologize, and she did not even say anything. She just needs Abhi to see that she is with him…to calm down so that she can talk and say her truth.
Abhi is already melting. He makes a fist and doesn’t look at her. He cannot stay mad at her no matter what. And even in his anger, he does not disrespect her. This is huge progression from the accident track. He is already calming down and he will try to ignore her, but she will make sure he hears her out. The truth will come this time. I am sure of it.
In the precap, Akshu once again shows how well she knows her Abhi. She says that sometimes things are right in front of your eyes but there is more anger than love in that moment. She understands Abhi so well. She never doubts him and knows what he is going through. But, she needs him to hear her.
Manjari wants to do a havan for Neil and Abhi is going to help her set it up, but they arrive and Akshu is already doing it! This is Akshu’s strength. She will prove herself right as always!!
