I love only Abhimanyu

Author's POV

''Now, tell me, Sitaara, will you start everything fresh giving a chance to yourself and Abhi and bringing justice to your kids?'' Adhira asked as she wiped Sitaara's tears.

''I will'' Sitaara said with a smile.

''Will you?'' All the girls asked. Sitaara painfully giggled with tears remembering her kids and nodded her head.

''I will'' she said determinedly.

''Then, come let's go'' said Riaan and Arjun coming inside with a smile.

''Where to?'' She asked wiping her tears.

''Your husband needs someone knock sense in his brain and if you will be by his side it would be easy for us'' Arjun said. Sitaara smiled. She got down from the bed and hugged them crying. They hugged back caressing her hair as tears rolled down their cheeks.

''You aren't going to cry on this from now. Promise us'' Riaan said cupping her cheek. She broke down into tears.

''Am trying but it's so hard to digest. Very hard. I carried them and now when I made myself ready to welcome them, and not seeing them is so hurting'' she cried.

''I understand but Situ please, you need to stay strong. Okay? You need to stay strong to punish the culprit once we find them okay?'' Riaan asked. She nodded crying.

''Don't cry now, please'' Said Riaan wiping her cheeks. She nodded and took deep breaths.

''Shall we go?'' Arjun asked.

''I need to change. 5 minutes'' she said. They nodded.

Changing into another saree, Sitaara left her hair open. She looked at herself in the mirror and she acknowledged, the woman in the reflection looks so different from her. Her eyes turned red with dark circles around her eyes and carry bags under her eyes. She looks so thin and very pale, completely different from the way she looked during her pregnancy.

With teary eyes, she stood sideways in front of her mirror and looked at her stomach.

''My babies'' she whispered moving her hands in the air above her stomach.

''How can you both leave your mumma and data, Kanha(dear)?'' She whispered caressing her stomach.

''Sitaara'' Adhira warned standing at the door. She looked at her sister and wiped her tears.

''Am coming'' she whispered and wiped her face. Taking her wedding ring in her hands, she caressed it. Wiping her tears, she slid into her fingers after a month. Filling her partition with vermillion, she adjusted her wedding chain.

Moving outside, she tied a watch on her wrist.

''Whatever your situation is, however you are, your beauty never fades. Still gorgeous'' Aarya said winking at Sitaara. She smiled and moved out.

Sakshi and Anjali who were in the main hall staring into space thinking about Abhi and Sitaara turned back hearing the shuffling sound. They were shocked to see Sitaara smiling while descending the steps.

''Situ'' Sakshi called with a smile. Sitaara hugged Sakshi blinking her tears.

''Am sorry. Am sorry for troubling you a lot, athamma (mil). Am sorry'' she whispered.

''It's fine. You didn't trouble us. I can understand your position. It's fine'' Sakshi patted her back and pulled away.

''Gonna meet your husband?'' Sakshi asked cupping her cheek. Sitaara nodded with a smile.

''How did you guess?'' Sitaara whispered.

''Your eyes always have a spark when we speak about Abhi. Your face glow like a Christmas tree even when you are angry at him'' Sakshi said and kissed her forehead.

''Go safe and come back'' She said. Sitaara nodded at her and moved out smiling at Anjali.

''Vinay'' Sid called him as soon as he entered Abhi's floor along with Ved, Rishi, Anish, Dhruv, Naman and Shetty twins. Vinay looked at them from the reports he is making and stood up smiling.

''Good morning, Sir'' he greeted everyone. They nodded.

''Where is Abhi?'' Sid asked.

''He must be in conference hall'' Vinay said.

''Alone'' he added after a pause lowly. They nodded and walked to the conference hall only to find it's dark, pitch black. Anish and Rishi switched on the lights. Abhi immediately placed his hand on his eyes at sudden lighting. Adjusting to intensity, he switched on his phone and Sitaara's smiling face flashed on it. It was captured during her pregnancy. His eyes flickered at her belly and a sudden pain shoot in his heart making tears fill in his eyes.

"They aren't dead. You killed them."

Sitaara's rang in his ears making a sob escape from his mouth.

''Abhi'' Sid placed his hand on his shoulder.

''Leave'' Abhi said coldly wiping his tears.

''We didn't come here to leave, Bava(bil)'' Ved said.

''I said leave me alone'' Abhi gritted his teeth stressing each word.

''Till when? Tell us, till when you want to alone? Till that monster even kill Sitaara like he killed your babies? Till your babies give up their hopes on their father to bring justice?'' Sid shouted. Abhi remained silent blinking away his tears.

''Answer Sid, Abhi. I just fucking don't understand why you and Sitaara are hell-bent giving happiness to that monster accepting the defeat'' Anish yelled.

''You guys won't understand. Am the father of my babies. It hurts. It hurts like a bitch. There wasn't a single minute my sons crossed my thoughts. After living 27 years in a lie, I finally made my own family after losing all my people and now, just like that, my family which am gonna start shattered. Where did I go wrong? From dawn to dusk, I was behind my wife like a shadow taking care of her and her every need. Even then I lost my babies. Since our marriage, Sitaara asked me something for the first time, to save our babies and if possible her because she want to live with me and her kids and I, like a failure couldn't fulfil her wish. I failed as a husband, I failed as a father'' Abhi shouted crying.

''So, is it making you perfect husband now leaving your wife in pain? Or is it making you a perfect father leaving the monster who killed your babies? Is it making you a perfect citizen now breaking the hopes of a man who pleaded you to save many innocent lives? Tell us, Abhimanyu, are you perfect now?'' Screamed Ved.

''Crying for yourself isn't gonna make things right, Abhi. You need to bring yourself punishing the monster who killed my nephews, bring justice to Viraj. Sitaara trusted you and gave you a chance even when you hurt her and does she deserve this? Your ignorance and letting her brood herself in pain? Even having such a huge family she asked you to save her babies because she trusts you, not because just you are husband, she trusts only you with her babies but unfortunately, we lost them. But now, it's your turn to at least catch that monster and punish him. Don't she deserve at least that, Abhi? Don't your babies deserve at least this much justice to their death?'' Rishi asked.

''We all are in, to help you in finding that monster and punishing him, who killed your sons, snatched away yours and Sitaara's happiness. Let's find him, Abhi. Let's bring justice to your kids'' Anish said.

''You both are young, Abhi. Young enough to become parents once again but what about the dead babies? They deserve justice right? Viraj? He trusted in you and pleaded you to bring Vikram's deeds out. Don't his life deserve justice? Don't your kids and Viraj deserve respect for trusting in you?'' Sid asked.

''Tell us, Abhi, are you gonna bring justice?'' Sid asked.

''I will'' Abhi said.

''Will you?'' They asked in unison.

''I will. I won't let my kids and Viraj's death go in vain. Ten days, I promise in 10 days am gonna make everything right. Within our 1st wedding anniversary, am gonna clear all these evil people from our lives'' Abhi said determined and wiped his tears.

Suddenly, doors burst open and Sitaara stood there with tears. Abhi looked at her with tears brimming in his eyes. Abhi extended his arms out and in the next second, Sitaara was in his arms.

''Let's fight for our babies, Mani'' she whispered with tears.

''Let's bring justice to our babies, taara'' he whispered.

''Let's find that monster and punish him'' they said simultaneously resting their foreheads on each other. Everyone smiled with tears.

''I love you'' they both whispered simultaneously, again and chuckled. Leaning to each other, they joined their lips kissing each other passionately. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he wounded his arms around her waist lifting her in the air-kissing her like there is no tomorrow. Pecking each other's lips once again, they pulled back.

''Even after these many kisses, many nights of making love you still blush at a mere kiss'' he teased caressing her reddened cheeks. She hugged him burying her face in his chest.

''Shall we go somewhere for today? Like a break? Only us forgetting everything and enjoying only each other's company?'' She asked placing her chin on his chest. He smiled brushing off hair strands from her face and nodded his head.

''Come, let's go'' he said holding her hand.

''Abhi'' Sid gestured him to come near. Abhi nodded and turned to Sitaara.

''You go and wait at our car, I will be there soon after instructing a few things to Naman and Vinay'' he said kissing her forehead. She nodded and walked out.

''Do you think is it necessary to take her out? I mean someone is behind her and I don't want to risk my sister, Abhi'' Sid said.

''Trust me for one last time, Sid. I won't let you regret it. I will make sure Sitaara will be safe'' Abhi said. Sid looked at his feet still contemplating to allow Sitaara to go or not.

''I know, you care for your sister but trust me too. Please. Just one last time'' Abhi said. Sid nodded.

''Bye, we will be late. Don't wait for us'' Abhi said smiling and ran out of the room.

He saw Sitaara in driving seat. He smiled and took the passenger seat.

''Where to?'' He asked buckling his seat belt.

''Our kids grave'' she mumbled and smiled at him while he felt uneasy. She observed it and held his palm.

''I haven't gone to them since they..they left us'' she whispered. He nodded. Sitaara started the car and drove to the grave while Abhi kept directing her. Soon they reached the place.

They both got down and stood far from the place. Sitaara side hugged Abhi crying while he too had tears in his eyes.

''I didn't see them even once, Mani. How my son's looked?'' she whispered in between her sobs. He kissed her crown before wrapping his arms around her.

'They were so pink, beautiful though not developed, fat and healthy, they both weighed 3.6 kgs each'' he mumbled with tears.

''Come let's go ahead'' he whispered. She shook her head in no.

''Am not able to bring me to see them like that'' she cried burying her face in his chest.

''This land is yours'' he whispered. She looked at him confused. He nodded before continuing.

''It's our ancestral land and my grandparents wanted to gift this to eldest daughter in law. I requested daddy to make our kids bur...sleep here and they did. I want my kids to sleep here, at least in the land which is their mom's as they couldn't sleep in your lap at least once'' he whispered caressing her hair. She cried more at his last sentence.

They both stood there for some time and sat in the car again. They both drove to the mall.

''Why are we here, sweetheart?'' He asked holding her palm in his. She smiled.

''Let's buy dresses for ourselves. Roaming in this business suit and saree isn't that comfortable'' she said and dragged him to the men's section. He looked at her with a sad smile at her way of hiding her pain behind that smile.

Sitaara herself selected casuals for Abhi and her. Changing into them, they both paid bills and moved to the food section. Making themselves comfortable, they ordered their food. Once their orders arrived, they started digging in not knowing how to initiate conversation. Sitaara looked around and suddenly her eyes caught something, someone to be precise.

''Naman and Drithi?'' She whispered in shock looking at Naman and Drithi strolling around holding each other's hands. She gasped when she saw Naman adjusting Drithi's nuptial thread at her neck. Abhi followed her gaze and was shocked to see Naman and Drithi.

''Seems like we need to drop our office romance plan'' Sitaara said with a smile seeing the happy couple.

''That's later. The important thing is they are married'' Abhi said averting his gaze from his brother.

''Let's talk about it with Naman later, Mani. He will never hide things from me. Maybe he just didn't find it's a good time to discuss as we both didn't let anyone talk to us'' Sitaara said looking at Naman who is stealing a quick peck on Drithi's lips while she slapped his arm looking around with a blush. Sitaara smiled looking away.

''I can't believe Naman married secretly'' Abhi said with disappointment pushing his plate.

''You are gonna say any hurting things to him'' she warned. He narrowed his eyes.

''He married without informing anyone and you want to go smooth on him? Seriously taara? I just don't understand what goes on in my siblings' minds to hide everything and the things behind my family's back. Aarya hid her relationship with Arjun and this asshole hid that he got married'' he sighed in disappointment.

''Compared to everyone including me Dhruv is best. He didn't commit any stupidity. I hope Disha doesn't disappoint me but I highly doubt it'' he added. Sitaara furrowed her eyebrows and placed a morsel in her mouth.

''Why do you doubt Disha?'' She asked and fed him a morsel. He smiled.

''Disha is so immature and pampered by everyone in the house. Even after reaching 21 years, she still doesn't make the right decisions and takes foolish steps'' he mumbled. She chuckled making him cock his eyebrow.

''Riaan is just like a kid by heart and he took up the responsibility of taking care of another kid'' she chuckled.

''He isn't a kid. Actually, he is much mature for his age. I mean he thinks hundred times before taking any step. For him, you are very important. I have never seen such a great friend'' he said.

''Woah!! What made you feel like that?'' She laughed.

''It's true'' he said and wiped his mouth as he was done eating.

''Dessert?'' He asked. She nodded her head with a grin. He ordered the dessert for themselves.

''Riaan loved you'' he said lowly. She looked at him and laughed. He held her hand and caressed her finger at the wedding ring. Placing a small kiss on her knuckles, he held her palm between his.

''It's true. He loved you'' he blinked his eyes. She shook her head in no.

''He never loved me. It's just...stop assuming things, Mani'' she hissed at the end unable to digest the newly found revelation. He sighed.

''Am not assuming. When we were in Mumbai for a holiday, I found his journal and everything in that was about you'' Abhi said.

''That's...that's...God!! Is that why he left India? But... Mani, I promise Riaan will take good care of Disha. You don't object to their relationship because of this. I don't know that he loved me but now, all I know is, he loves your sister a lot. Mani, Riaan is kind of selfless and a very good guy. He can do anything for his loved ones and now, Disha is his priority. You don't break them taking this matter seriously'' she said panicked not wanting to see her best friend sad. Abhi chuckled.

''Sweetheart, I just don't understand the friendship you 5 guys share. Like they want you to be happy and you want them to. Each of you is ready to go to any extent for each other's happiness. I admire your friendship and don't worry, though Riaan's and Disha's wedding matter is still on hold, everyone wants them to end up together and I hope same'' Abhi passed a warming smile making Sitaara sigh in relief.

''Anyways, how about going to the theatre and watching a movie?'' She asked.

''And romance in darkness?'' He asked teasingly. She slapped his hand blushing.

''You don't get into any topic than that'' she mumbled with a flushed face.

''Well, I don't because I don't want to waste our each other's beauty'' he winked at her. She kicked his leg under the table as the waiter brought their dessert. Abhi teased her under the table and she kicked back again. The young waiter smiled at the couple and went away. Completing the dessert, they paid the bill and moved out. Keeping an eye on people around him, Abhi took her to the theatre.

''Why is it empty?'' She asked. He smiled sheepishly.

''Mani, you can't do this. You might be a billionaire but this is just...stop showing your teeth'' she groaned irritated and punched his chest. He chuckled and hugged her.

''Let's spend some time privately. Only us. Not even a single person around us. BTW, I paid the theatre fellow handsome money that he couldn't get even if he play 10 top movies for the whole month. He isn't at loss'' he said.

''We are. I don't want you to waste money like this. You should be knowing the value of money as you faced loss. Instead of wasting money like this spend it on something good-''

''Actually a good idea. Why don't we start up an educational institute with scholarships for kids who can't afford for paying their higher dreams with just their talent? I mean many people are much talented but couldn't afford to pay for educational charges, like, few may be facing poverty, few lacks of parents support, few who are talented but couldn't reach their dreams due to reservations-''

''We will establish an educational institute where neither financial status nor the caste will be considered. It will be purely on intelligence. Also not only in education but it should encourage many curricular activities which parents these days object it saying won't fetch bright future. It will be a memory of our son's'' she completed his sentence with a happy smile.

''I will look into legal permissions and other required things as well as the financial budget you just make sure everything gonna do well. I want to establish it where our sons slept'' she added.

''Done'' he said kissing her forehead.

''Shall we start the movie now?'' He asked. She nodded and took their seats. Moving closer, he wrapped his arm around her while she leaned on him.

In the middle of the movie, he felt wetness on his shirt. Pulling her more closer he rubbed her back and kissed her head without exchanging the words as even he isn't in a position to console her.

After the movie, they sat in the car again.

''So, where are you taking me now?'' He asked as he buckled her seat belt properly.

''You need to look around your surroundings properly'' he muttered moving back. She smiled at his care. His tiny check on her for her safety made her heart flutter.

''So, let me take you to a place where my passion lies'' she said smiling brightly. It didn't take even a second for him to understand what place she's talking about but he pretended to be curious.

Soon, they started driving. Abhi looked at her.

''We need to get over it, baby'' he said placing his hand on hers which is on the steering wheel. She remained silent knowing what he was talking about.

''I know, but it's really hard. Am trying'' mumbled and stopped the car. Turning to him, she held his hand again. He
