Recent events somehow made Akshay realize the real value of true love. The value of a wife. The value of family. Kids.
He became desperate to meet them now. He managed to get one month assignment of his office work in India. In this one month, he decided to straighten all the ugly curves in his life.
When he reached, he realized that his wife Richa got fully engrossed herself into acting career. She had become a heavy weight woman but managed to get different roles with the help of her acquaintances in TV and film industry. She got a reality show in which all plus sized models participated and interacted with each other for 10 days in a studio with various competitions and games and quizzes.
Also, in parallel she was doing a shooting for a Marathi web series based on extra marital affair which was also being shot in Lonawala.
She was too busy with that. Now that Akshay had come back, Richa's mother went back to her home after few days. Now, it was like walking on a rope for him to handle both children at home in Richa's absence as well as manage the work either from home or office.
When he arrived, Richa didn't show much interest in him. She looked detached. She just talked to him for the sake of talking. For the sake of their children.
Sometimes, she used to come very late in night. The shooting location was in Lonawala. Many a times, Akshay suspected that someone has told Richa about his UK affair. Was it Raghav? Don't know. Even if she knows it, now it's my duty to win her again.
Akshay thought, "I will do anything to win against my wife again. I will go make all the effort. Even if I must woo her again, I will do!"
Rohini and Arpit became happy to see their father again, however were missing their grandmother.
Golam pinged Rohini on chat again but she didn't reply.
On that day, though she clicked her half nude pic, she didn't send it to him. She knew that, he will demand such pics frequently form her and one day will blackmail her. He may circulate it on various WhatsApp groups and social media. She had heard many such news and hence, she reprimanded him for asking her to send him her nude pics. Also, she scolded him for looking at her as a sex object. She wanted to test him more. She wanted to test his morality. Rohini became much aware about relationships when she saw troubles in her father and mother's relationship. She had decided not to fall for any relationship. Instead, she thought she would study well and become able enough to earn her own bread and butter to avoid being dependent on husband.
She continued her friendship with Golam but kept him away so that he wouldn’t do any sexual advancement.
One day Rohini sensed that something was not right between her parents. So, she asked her daddy about it.
Akshay told her, "Sometimes it happens beta. No one on this earth is perfect. And when two imperfect people live together, clashes happen. Especially when a man and a woman come and stay together post marriage permanently. There is a complex relationship between a man and a woman always. Due to differences in thinking patterns probably. But I promise you beta, I will mend all the differences."
"Mumma used to cry sometimes Papa. You had hurt her a lot!"
"I will correct everything. If not, at least 80 to 90%. Because nothing is 100% pure and perfect in this world. I will sometimes need your help. Will you help me?"
"Yes Pappa. I also want to see both of you happy together!"
Both hi-fived each other.
"So, while sometimes I will be away to win Richa again, please take care of yourself and Arpit. Also cooperate with the maid!"
Later one day, when Akshay called Dipesh after coming back to India, he was surprised to hear Dipesh's inebriated and intoxicated voice.
Dipesh agreed that he recently has become alcoholic.
While Akshay was so much involved in handling his own personal matters, he didn't plan any meeting with him.
As far as work was concerned, Dipesh was doing good work and Akshay was satisfied with that. Akshay quickly asked him about his daughter's health and became happy to know that she was recovering.
However, Dipesh didn't mention to him about his wife's accident and any other stuff. The additional money from increased salary helped Dipesh a lot and he thanked Akshay for that again. Still Akshay sensed that something must not be right in Dipesh's life.
Meanwhile, during past few months, Dipesh was able to return the 5 lakh rupees to Akshay in 3 instalments, which Akshay had given him.
Recently. Maya didn't take any visiting fee from Dipesh.
Nowadays, only Dipesh would come with Mitali for her regular treatment and medication. Also, she would waive many other miscellaneous charges for him.
Only he must pay for the medicines and other hospital charges.
