4:
A few days later: It’s nearly time ShreyAan and NeiRohi get married, and Abhi and Akshu leave from their apartments to go to airport to go to Madrid.
“Have you packed? Because we won’t be there to help you, we’re going straight to Madrid from here.” Manish tells Akshu.
“Haan Bade Papa, Haan! I’ve packed, tension mat lo!”
“Ahaan, Aaru, se bat kar lo.”
“Hi Di!”
“Hello.. koi bohot excited lag raha hai..” Akshu teases her brother.
“9 saal.. Di 9 saal.. ab to maaf kar do..” Aaru says.
“Aaru please. Tujhe pata hai ki kyu.. anyway chod.” Akshu says. “I’m leaving now. See you guys soon.!”
She ends the call, taking her bag, and a large suitcase, which had her normal day clothes and her nightdresses too.
Abhi’s apartment:
“Urgh, why did I book the flight so early.” He says getting up. “Agar Akshu hoti to.. why.. after 9 years.. uski hi bhai behen mile kya Shreya aur Neil ko. Aur koi nahi mil ta?”
“Anyway. Chal Abhimanyu Birla.. ho ja ready.. kisi ko impress kar na hai.” He adds.
after half hour:
“Finally ready. Let’s go.” He grabs his bag, and his large suitcase with his normal day clothes and nightdresses too.
He places his bag and suitcase outside his door, staring deeply at No.23, which was Akshu’s apartment. Suddenly, the door opened and out came Akshu:
She looked at him and blinked. He looked at her and blinked.
“Um..” Akshu muttered, looking at what Abhi was wearing.
“Um..” Abhi left, sighing that he couldn’t explain once again that he’d realized his mistake. But after that, he didn’t care about her. He was way off better without her. Or was he?
At the airport, at 5am:
“AAAAAAAAAH!” Akshu slipped, but Abhi caught her.
He helped her up. “Tum.. tikh ho?”
“Haan.. thank you.. Abhi.. I mean Abhimanyu.”
“Here’s.. your bag.” Akshu grabbed it from him, but her hand accidentally touching Abhi’s.
“Boeing 73 is ready to board.” The airport receptionist says
“Um.. I need to go board. Bye.” Abhi and Akshu say in sync.
“Your boarding Boeing 73?” Akshu asks.
“You as well?”
“Yeah. I’m seat 6A. You?”
“6B. let’s go, together.” Abhi says.
“Thanks, but no thanks. We will see each other there anyway.”
On The Plane:
“Hey lady, can you move, I can’t see him.” A girl tells Akshu, pointing towards Abhi.
*thinking:- She’s the same girl, who was on the news last night, the girl who fakes.. urgh! I have to save Abhi.. I mean Abhimanyu! *
“Excuse me, he’s my boyfriend, so there. Get lost.”
“Boyfriend bana diya..” Abhi mutters
“I had to, otherwise your heart would’ve broken.” Akshu shows him a photo of the girl from google. Abhi tries to stop himself from hugging Akshu but he can’t.
“Thank you, Akshara.”
“Hm. Now movie dekhu?”
“Why not!”
Sooner, or hours later, they land. Both of them go different way but reach the same hotel. Goenkas’ and Birlas’ are waiting for them there.
“It’s so nice to see you!”
“Uh, everyone, we have a problem. Rooms. ” Ahaan says.
“Ahaan can I talk to you please?” Abhi says, and Ahaan is shocked.
“Okay.” He tells Shreya, Neil and Aarohi to tell the rest of the rooms issue while he and Abhi talked.
“Kya hua,” Ahaan asked. “Suddenly, you’re being so nice? Especially after I’m..”
“You’re her brother, not her. I have an issue with her, not you,” Abhi says. “I just wanted to say sorry to you. After all-“
“It’s fine Jiju, it’s fine.”
“Bhai bula na.. Jiju nahi.. kyu ki..”
“Kyu Ki aapko unhe impress kar na hai!” Aaru says, coming with Neil, and Shreya.
“Will she accept me? Because with what you all said it was my fault too..”
“She herself wants to talk but she is afraid!”
“Kya?”
“Aarohi? Neil? Shreya? Abhi?” And Manjari thi.
“Bachon.. chalo! Rooms me aur ek issue hua..”
“Okay, to.. rooms me kon kon hai bata ta hoon,.” Neil says.
“Room 1, Ma aur Sir, Room 2, Bade Papa, Badi Mumma, Mimi aur AG, us room me 3 beds hai.. Room 3, Anand Tauji aur Mahima Taiji, Room 4, me aur Neil, Room 5, Ahaan aur Aaru, aur Room 6 me.. Abhi Bhai aur Akshu..”
“Shreya, mujhe different room nahi mil sakta?” Akshu whispered So Abhi didn’t hear.
“Sorry Bhabhi.. kuch hi din hai.. please manage kar lo..” Shreya whispered back.
“Accha fine.. key de..” Shreya gave the keys to everyone.
~Later~
“Main walk pe ja rahi hoon..” Akshu told Abhi.
“Haan to jao na? Mujhe kyu kehri ho.” Abhi replied.
“So much for kindness. As much as you’re trying to avoid, I am more. I don’t even want to stay in the same room as you. So I won’t sleep here tonight.”
“Kaha fir?” Abhi asked.
“Tum he kya?” Akshu said, and she left.
Hotel park:
“Arey madam ji.. come with me…” a drunk man hits on Akshu.
Abhi, who was reading a doctors’ book he had brought along was distracted by the noise, so he went down to see what was happening.
“Kya ho raha hai!”
“Oh hero bhi aya.. sun, tere liye ye hi accha hai ki tu chala jaye..”
“Otherwise kya kar lega?” He saw the guy’s friends hitting on the girl aka Akshu, which made him furious. “TUM!” He kicked the guy, who’s name was Jay.
Abhi beat up Jay and his friends and they ran away, but by then Akshu had fainted because of what was going on. He tried waking her up but she didn’t, so he carried her to their room. He laid her on one of the beds and splashed a bit of water in her face. She woke up.
“Please.. please don’t harm me!”
“Nothing will happen to you!”
“No he is there he will kill me Abhi!” She was in his arms, and he consoled her but was at the same time happy that his Akshu had finally called him Abhi, lovingly.
“Amish please! No!! Please don’t harm me!!”
AbhiRa meet after 9 years, not straight at the wedding, outside their home! But they bump into each other again and something happens.. which makes them recall a past..
