Welcome to this book!

This is my first ever book on a different fandom, only ever wrote Vani before but I am really taken with Abhira right now and it guts me how sometimes the potential of really good tracks is not used.

Sharing some imagines here. Let's feed the imagination :)

Track: Is parallel to the current story of the show. | It is a two shot

Part 1: Missing Manjiri and Arohi's Realization

Manjiri stood at the edge of the road picking up some hay to feed the cows on the street. She really thought it would earn her some good karma & blessings for her family and her children needed all the blessings they could get. She was really stressed for their happiness, specially Abhimanyu. Her boy had matured before time seeing her weak situation in the family. He was always hard on himself and only ever showed her some emotions. He was kind to his cousins & Neil but never lived for himself. She failed to see this earlier but now she could see how much Akshara changed him. Her son finally started to live for himself. This made her really happy. He'd not pay for her mistakes!

She, to this day, felt guilty for her goof up with the names. If she had not confused the situation, Abhi and Akshu would be happily married by now. She caused the confusion in the Birla household by thinking it was Arohi Abhi fell for. Her son was so happy before the tilak and broke down after finding out about the mix up. This complicated his path to win Akshu's love.

Then she went ahead and caused further issues by crediting Arohi for Akshara's deeds and thinking she was perfect for her son. It was she who asked him to marry Arohi. This further broke Abhira. Yes, they were together now but after a lot of struggle and not without breaking hearts. Now, whenever she saw Arohi and noticed her silent anger, she felt bad. Manjiri's heart drowned in guilt when Arohi's unhappiness with the alliance would shine through. Maybe if she had not caused all those confusions, Arohi's heart would not be broken to the extent where she felt the need to take the anger out on people around her.

'Meri wajah se ye sb hua, agar maine didi to handle krne diya hota to aisi bhool nahi hoti. Aur pehli baar to galti thi lekin uske baad? Jb mujhe pta tha Abhi Akshu ko pyaar krta hai toh mujhe usse Arohi ke baare me sochne ko kehna hi nahi chahiye tha. Mai to acche se jaanti hoon mere bete ko, kitna toot kr pyaar krta hai vo! Maine socha bhi kaise vo move on kr lega. Uske dil me Akshu thi aur mere liye apne dil ki nahi sun paa raha tha... In sb me Arohi ka dil tuta, parivaar ki badnaami hui...inke bhi Akshu se issues bhad gaye...Arohi ne aaj jo kiya, shyd nahi bhi kiya lekin us baachi ke dukhi hone me bhi mera haath hai....vo ye sb karti hai toh Akshu ka bhi kitna dil dukhta hoga, aur phir Abhi....Hey Kanha ji, sbke dil me jo mail hai, vo aaj bhi saaf nahi hai shyd..... aap ye dooriyan bhar dijiye, iske baad Abhi aur Akshu ki kissi bhi rasm me aise na ho..'

Manjiri wiped her tears and picked up the hay she collected. As she turned, she felt something strange and her world went black.

.........................

Abhimanyu and Akshara were searching everywhere was Manjiri. The street lights flickered and still they had no news about Manjiri. He couldn't shake off the image of the dead woman he saw earlier. What if it was his maa? What if she is lying somewhere lik-...No! He'll not think all this! His Akshu held onto his waist, her presence giving him strength to carry on.

Suddenly he halted as his phone buzzed. He checked his watch and saw the unknown number. He looked at his love who urged him to pick it up. With hope in his heart, he picked up the call.

A: Hello..?

........................

Manjiri was picking up hay to feed some cows and ask blessing for her beta-bahu. Suddenly, a car hit her from behind and she fell on the ground, face first and rolled into the pile of hay.

Abhimanyu and Akshara were searching for Manjiri. Both were really tensed! As Abhi crossed the path where Akshu had been earlier with Arohi, dread washed over Akshu thinking about possibilities. She asked Abhi to stop and started to look around. Abhi was confused and asked her what was she doing. Akshu, in state of panic, told him what happened in the day and her suspicion that someone was hit. She wiped her tears and began to look around. Abhi was too stunned to speak. He felt heavy, slowly sinking down on the road. He looked around in panic when his eyes spotted something blue.

His maa's saree! His eyes widened and got filled with tears. With shaking hands, he removed the hay and met the lifeless body of his maa. He felt like his world had ended.

A: Maa! Nahi...Maa....please please please...kuch nahi hoga apko...apko apne bete ko dekhna hai na sehre me...maa!!

He sobbed and then stilled. He looked up with murderous rage in his eyes.

AAROHI!!!

Arohi got up gasping for breath!

A: Ye kya dekha maine! Kahin maine....gadi kissi cheez se takrai toh thi...nahi nahi nahi!! maine manjiri aunty ko... ye mai kaise kr skti hoon...

She held her head. The medicines from earlier and all this panic post accident made her head hurt a lot. All sorts of possibilities danced before her eyes. She would never be able to face anyone in her life if she hurt Manjiri, what if she kil-

She shook her head and rushed out to her car. Pulling out her flash light she checked everywhere when something red caught her eyes. She gasped as horror washed all over her. Did she? She did!

A: Ye kya kr diya maine??? Mai- Oh no!....kya hoga??

Arohi stood still. Gasping for air. She struggled to breathe. Something probably her sister was familiar with. A million thoughts crossed her mind before settling on one. She ran inside the house to get the keys before rushing out. She had to know!

...........................

Arohi parked the car at the spot she had been earlier that day. She took a few deep breathes before getting down to inspect. With trembling hands, she looked around before noticing a few blood drops on the ground. A sob broke out of her mouth. She had killed Manjiri! Someone's mother. She had always accused Akshu of robbing her of mother's love and she did the same today. Somewhere her heart knew Akshu was innocent but was she? Was Arohi innocent? She overdosed, knowing full well that it was not okay. She, being a doctor took un-prescribed medicine, drove rashly and hit multiple trees and walls before finally becoming a murderer!

She fell down and removed the hay. She frowned as she saw no body. She looked more and didn't see anything. She got confused and began to throw away hay from that heap like a mad woman. Hay was flying everywhere. It got all into her clothes and hair but she couldn't care. Finally, what felt like eternity and had been only 4-5 minutes, Arohi spotted it.

A stray dog.

Her shoulders slumped. Adrenaline leaving her. She had hit a dog! She sobbed at the poor thing that growled lowly at her. It was alive. Aarohi got up with purpose. She slowly lifted the dog. Despite its protests, she put it in the car and began drove away.

She had hit a dog! She smiled in relief. But the smile went away as soon as it had come. What if it was alive? It could have been dead too. Does it make the suffering less, knowing that the victim for her rashness cannot speak for itself? What if it had been Manjiri? Or anyone else? It could have been a human lying there...injured or even...dead? Guilt pooled in her stomach.

And what about Akshu? Her sister who loved her so much? Her conscience asked. Akshu had to rush out and get into a moving car for her. what if she had been hurt? All because Arohi refused to stop like last time. She had put her sister in near death situation once before and her soft-hearted sister didn't complain about it to anyone when all her life she had always complained. About everything! She had blamed her for everything and Akshu never yelled back. She never told anyone that she got into the accident because of her and she even lied to Abhi today, for her. Arohi saw how difficult it was for her sister to do so but she did.

She gave up on her love for Arohi, a man Arohi didn't even love! Thinking about Abhi still made Arohi mad but this time, even realization dawned upon her. Arohi disliked many of Abhi's actions but in some fronts, he was so much like her too. Arohi would never be able to live with him. Only Akshu could handle him. His roughness only matched her softness. His fire needed Akshu's soothing waters. Arohi and him together would have burned each other but him and Akshu could burn for each other.

Every memory that she ignored before, every incident flashed before her eyes where she realised Abhi was into Akshu but she chose to ignore it at that time. Every incident where she emotionally and verbally abused her sister. She remembered her mom and her teachings. She truly failed her!

A: Aap vo fairytale wali stepmom nahi they mumma but mai, mai toh fairytale wali step sister hi ban gayi..

She thought as she drove towards the veterinary hospital.

Thoughts?

I really hope that the upcoming week's track is not a 2.0 version of OG Akshara's death sequence. I don't think Manjiri will die so soon into the show but I don't want a Akshu getting blamed and Arohi then realizing sequence. Also, these tracks could have been there before all this. Wedding track could have waited but starting the wedding track and running parallel tracks makes it khichri and kills the wedding vibe!

Abhira are getting married!!!! But what is even happening!? No wedding excitement- Only stressed, pained Abhira in the show.

Any other theories on upcoming track?
