Akshu asks Abhi to wear janeyu for the pooja because it is a big one. He doesn’t resist and lets her put it on him. He looks at her so affectionately. He is melting and deep down, he knows she is not at fault in this. It is the circumstances that have created this situation, and Manjari is his trigger. He is not able to look past her pain, and therefore he is so torn and stopping himself from “forgiving” Akshu.
Manish is talking about how you cannot separate professional from personal and Kairav says that Akshu is being blamed for something she didn’t do. Manish and Swarna say let the storm blow over in the family.
Akshu facetimes Swarna and Neil. Neil tries walking away, but Akshu starts talking about the power of yashoda and how not everyone is lucky enough to have a mom. Neil is visibly impacted by this. No one knows the importance of a mother more than Akshu, and Neil knows that. So, hearing this from her, he melts. Akshu knows how to touch everyone’s hearts. He cannot not listen to her. She asks him to come to the havan, but leaves it up to him.
Abhi hears this and tells her that this was her plan, not Mimi’s. He says that he cannot see Manjari’s hope increasing or else her heart will break and he won’t be able to forgive her. Again, this is his conditioning as protector of his mother, whom he sees as a victim of abuse. His words are so harsh towards Akshu, but I cannot blame him for his emotional attachment to his mother. A huge apology better be on its way.
Akshu asks him why he always thinks negative and he says she needs to think practically. She says she has and she knows Neil will come. He asks for proof, and she says that sometimes you don’t need proof— the heart should be enough. And, this applies so perfectly to Abhira’s relationship as where it stands right now. Abhi and Akshu have both developed differently in response to their respective trauma. Abhi assumes the worst, whereas Akshu assumes the best. She has faith, whereas he is too afraid to. But, she understands that, and her faith is enough for the both of them.
Akshu is about to fall and he catches her. He says do a pooja for yourself too, but she says that she has him to protect her and she won’t let this family scatter. The epitome of who they are. As long as he is with her, she has all the strength to tackle any challenge in the world. As long as she has his support, she knows she can heal this family. Right now, he may not be showing it, but he is with her in his heart. Akshu kisses his cheek and leaves. He looks so deeply touched in this scene. Her love >>>>> his anger any day.
Also, her saying that he will always be there to catch her seems to perhaps foreshadow that she will be getting hurt soon and he won’t be there i.e. the burnt hand.
The board meeting happens and the hospital needs Manjari to publicly apologize to Harsh in order for Harsh not to be fired.
The havan is happening and Neil arrives. Aarohi brought him and has vile thoughts of more things going wrong and how Neil is still distraught which means more issues for Abhi. She leaves.
Abhi looks at Akshu when Neil arrives. He is trying so hard not to smile. Again, it is her faith that made this happen, and he knows it. This is why he fell in love with her and keeps falling deeper in love with her. It is her goodness and kindness.
Neil asks Akshu where Harsh is. He then says he cannot let go how if Manju had told the truth, he would be so different today and get the respect he needed. He is spitting facts here, but Abhi comes and defends Manju once again. I understand him like I said before, but he is entirely blind to his brother’s pain. I feel really really bad for Neil. What Manju did was so wrong.
Harsh calls Manju and manipulates her into coming to the hospital. As she is leaving, Akshu sees her and says she cannot let her go alone and gets into the car.
Abhi comes out to learn from the worker that they have gone to the hospital and gets pissed again. It is Akshu’s nature to not see people in pain. Manjari is a mess, so there is no way she was going to let her go alone.
