SS-1.1 : Armaan ~ Abheera

"Mujhe tumhari kitni chinta horahi thi Abheera, tum thik hona?" (I was so worried about you, are you alright?) Armaan asked earning a nod from the later. Abheera's hands instinctively wrapped around him, holding back tears. Just then, a nurse approached.

"Excuse me, Mr. & Mrs. Poddar Kaveri ji is out of danger now" she announced bringing a sigh of relief on both of their faces.

"Thank God," he breathed, both of them hurried inside. But a battle continued in Abheera's mind. Is she being fair with him by keeping the truth hidden? But the words remained trapped, suspended between her heart and lips.

As the entire family stood outside Kaveri's ward, their hands folded and lips murmuring silent prayers, Madhav's solemn voice commanded attention.

"Maasa pe kisne attack kiya iska pata chal gaya hai aur usse arrest bhi karliya hai" (The attacker of Maasa had been identified and arrested) he began. Armaan's grip on Abheera's hand tightened.

"Kya ye wahi rival firm wala hai jisse humne video me dekha tha? Lekin usne aisha kiya kyun?" (Is that the same guy from the rival firm whom we saw in the video? But why did he do this?) he asked, his voice desperate

Madhav's expression turned grim, a sigh escaped his lips as he continued "Wo yaha Maasa pe nahi balki Abheera pe attack karne aya tha kyuki Abheera ki wajahse Verma firm ke hath se airlines ka contract nikal gaya. Lekin Maasa ne usse dekh liya aur rokne hi jarahi thi ki yesab hogaya" (He intended to attack Abheera and not Maasa because due to Abheera the Verma firm lost the crucial contract of the airlines. But Maasa spotted him on time and tried to interrupt when this happened)

As Madhav unfolded to conspiracy, Armaan's hands securedly wrapped around Abheera who was also in a state of shock. In the meantime Manisha came forward, her eyes narrow.

The room was thick with tension as Manisha's words cut through the air like a dagger. "Yesab tumhari wajahse hua hai. Arrey kitni lalchi ho tum Abheera? Tumhare iss career ke lalach ne Mummy sa ki ye halat kardi." (This is all because of you. How greedy are you Abheera? This greed of career has landed Mummysa in such a condition)

Abheera's eyes widened, tears forming at the corner of her eyes. The Chachisa who used to pamper her every time, who was beside her when nobody trusted her, was now against her too? The thought stung. How conveniently everyone blamed her? Why was it so easy for them to point fingers at her? Even after knowing the actual target was her, they still blamed her. Tears trickled down Abheera's face as she gently rubbed them off.

Armaan's face darkened, his jaw clenched. "Bas bohot hogaya Chachisa, aapne suna nahi Papa ne kya kaha? Wo attacker yaha Abheera ke liye aya tha, iski jaan ko khatra tha aur aap isse hi blame kar rahi hai. Kisliye? Ek cabin keliye. Toh please mai hath jod ke request karta hoon aap wo cabin rakh lijiye magar Abheera ko baksh dijiye. Waise bhi Abheera ki kabiliyat kisi cabin ki mohtaj nahi." (Enough Chachisa, didn't you hear what Papa said? That the attacker was here for Abheera, her life was in danger, and you're still blaming her. Why? Because of a cabin. So I request you, please take that cabin and leave Abheera. Anyways, her talent cannot be measured by a cabin.)

Manisha's expression turned venomous. "Wah beta! Kitna badal gaya hai tu. Pehle toh tu apni family ke kisibhi member ke khilaf kuch nahi sunta tha. Shaadi ke baad joru ka gulaam ban gaya?" (Wow son! How much you have changed. Beforehand, you never listened to a word against your family members. But after marriage, you have become your wife's servant.)

Abheera's grip on Armaan's sleeve tightened, trying to calm him down. "Armaan...let it be." But he shook his head, his eyes blazing.

"Aaj toh tum mujhe nahi rokogi Abheera, mujhe janna hai meri family ka thought process kya hai. Chahe kuch bhi hojai ungli kispe uthani hai, tum pe." (Today, you won't stop me, Abheera. I need to know what my family is thinking. No matter what happens, the finger will be pointed at you.)
