SKIP IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
Now you should move to Ahmedabad...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*stunned*
M- Maa?!
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*clenching her fist*
It's better for you... Your future will be better and--
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
बस माँ बोहोत हुआ!
{It's enough now Maa!}
Akshita who never once argued or raised her voice against her mother snapped at her suddenly
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
अब मैं वही करूंगी जो मुझे करना है!
{Now I'll do what I want to do!}
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
And I'll stay here! I'm not leaving you alone and that's final!
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*stunned*
Bitto?!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*controlling her rage*
We don't even share anything Maa, not just happy or sad moments... But also the hardships we go through!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
That's not how it should be Maa! You're my Maa! I'm your daughter! We both are only for each other! So if both don't talk or share with each other than where we'll go? What will we do?
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
Every time I say something you just remind me about Papa! Papa would want you to do this, papa would want you to do that!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
नहीं हो रहा मुझसे सब...
{I'm not able to do everything...}
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
I can't handle this pressure Maa!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
दम घुट रहा है मेरा...
{It's suffocating...}
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
कभी मुझसे एक बार पूछा के बिट्टो तू क्या चाहती है?
{Did you ever ask me once, Bitto, what do you want?}
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*shocked and moved back*
Urja never once thought that her daughter was building up such thoughts in her mind
For her, she was everything after her husband... But so was for her Daughter...
Urja realised her mistake and asked for her forgiveness
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*join her hands*
I'm sorry Bitto... I didn't understand you...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*hold her hand and cries*
No Maa... It's not your fault... Everything that happened is not any of our fault...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
Fate happened... Things happened that aren't in our control...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*wipes her tears*
But not anymore...
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*looks at her with teary eyes*
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
I know how strong you have been throughout your life... But not any more Maa... I'm here for you... You can rely on me Maa...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
Please Maa, don't tell me to go away... I feel lonely... I feel suffocated! I-- I can't do anything! Th- the thought of you leaving me...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
It haunts me day and night! What if you leave me? What will I do? There won't be anyone for me... I will be alone! I will be an orphan! No! I don't --
Urja for the first time witnessed her daughter having a panic attack
It shattered her heart into pieces... Her strong warrior was losing her shine and getting broken...
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*hugs her tightly*
Calm down... I'm not going anywhere Bitto... Maa will always be with you no matter what... Maa loves you so much Bitto...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*avoiding her gaze and fidgeting her fingers*
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*shocked*
Wh- what did you say?!
Akshita confessed to her mother that it wasn't the first time she had a panic attack
She's been having panic attacks for the past 4 years...
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*sits on the sofa in shock*
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*hold her hand and sits down*
I'll be fine Maa... I'll work on it... If you're with me, I'm not worried about anything...
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
....
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
If you don't take care of yourself, it hurts me... If you stay silent it hurt me more Maa... Live your life to the fullest Maa...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
If Papa were here, he would also want the same...
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*looks at her with teary eyes*
Both mother and daughter break down in tears when they remembered him
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*hugs her*
A hug which contained so many emotions, happiness sadness frustration longing anger and heart wrecking...
That day both cried their heart out and poured out every emotion they had built up all these years
Urja and Akshita were gathered at Manisha's place during Mahashivratri
Urja Rathore (FL Mom)
*stunned*
What?!
Manisha Solanki (FL Aunt/Bua)
*nods while cutting the vegetables*
Yes...
Manisha Solanki (FL Aunt/Bua)
And now Maa is going to stay with us...
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*stunned and looks at her*
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*nods lightly while looking at her*
It's useless to talk with Mom about her... Grandma gave Mom bunch of gold and the house and told her to take care of her~
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*rubs her forehead and sighs*
(Seriously Bua... She loves money more than her kids?)
Mahesh and his wife Nita got divorced after learning about both of their affairs somewhere else
So Sulekha kicked Mahesh out of the house and told Manisha to take care of her by offering her gold and house
Parth Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
Let her stay... She's old now... Who else will take care of her if not us...
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
You're too kind! Mom and Grandma both are using you! You duffer!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
Mishi...
*shook her head*
Parth Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*sighs hard and got up*
I have to take her to the temple... You guys carry on...
They both looked at him going with heavy heart
After Pravin's demise, all the responsibilities were now on Parth... Even if it was too much he never complained once
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*hold her hand*
I don't want to stay with her... She's going to torture us!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
....
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*looks at her*
So what do you want to do?
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*looking at Manisha*
Use all the useless money for my future~ She said it's for our future... So why not?
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*looks at her and smiles*
I'm going to Dubai! I got selected for my internship!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*surprised and hugs her*
Oh Mishi! Congratulations!
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*giggling*
Thanks Akshu~ Why don't you also come with me?
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*breaks the hug and smiles*
No... I'm good here... I'm working on my art projects... And if you also go, Parth Bhai will be all alone...
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*sighs hard*
I tried to convince him too, but he didn't agree... Gold help that man and give him some brain!
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
....
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
I know I'm being selfish, but I can't let people ruin my future... I'll live on my terms and enjoy~
Akshita Rathore (FL/Akshu/Bitto)
*nods*
Just don't get in trouble... And keep in touch~
Mishti Solanki (FL P.Cousin)
*nods cutely*
Okay okay!
Mishti and Akshita became more close after Pravin's demise, as Akshita was always there with her during the hard time
Their bond was more like real siblings rather than just cousins
Mishti left for her internship for a year leaving everything behind
