Up till now the way things went downhill all of a sudden it's understandable why kids aren't informed.. Akshara is also not in the right mental state to reveal this shocker to their son..
There's no easy way or right time to break such a news.. and it's gonna scar the child for life one way or the other.. But I feel the little kid will be more devastated if he doesn't get to see and say goodbye to his father the last time.. so before last rites I Abhir should get to see Abhinav.
I completely agree that abhir should have known about abhinavs ns he has the right to do the rites and say goodbye to abhinav.
But to play devil's advocate, telling a 6 year old boy that his father is no more and he will never come back is something that is very hard and complicated to say. He will say goodbye to a liveless abhinav who wouldn't call him nikkeji or aara. He will not respond to abhir when he will try to call him up from his sleep is too emotional.
Then his health condition is also very crucial as he just went through heart surgery. He shouldnt stress or be emotional too much. He would probably have medications to take (logically as the show didn't show this). He might deny to eat food or medication and they need to handle him very carefully.
Lastly, when he recovers from this emotional stress, his last image of his father is when abhinav was going away smiling and waving goodbye to him. That is the best image for a kid to have of his father than a lifeless body that is cold and unresponsive and has many wounds here and there. That is going to be more traumatizing for a small kid. At least once he accepts the fact that his father is no more, he can remember his smiling father and the fun they had at the birthday not the cold hard truth that came after. So in a way, it might be better for the kid.
