You are making some broad interpretations based on recent episodes, but the truth of Neil and Manjari's relationship cannot be ignored. Manjari was afraid of Harsh, so she hid Neil's truth. Not sure she had any agenda with this except she was weak, and she hid it. But the fact that she loved him like a son, the fact that after all of this, Neil and Manjari's relationship still remained strong if evolved, shows that she doesn't only care about khoon ka rishta and this should be obvious to Ak too. The key point here is that Manjari did feel guilty about all of that, and after the reveal and divorce and stuff, she fought for Neil's rights in Birla house - going as far as accepting his marriage to Arohi.
The point is that these relationships are complicated. Ofc the WD is not done, it's the crux of this leap, and they need to address it at some point. Abhi has realized his mistake, but maybe you have a different idea of what his mistake was exactly. I think his mistake was to divorce Ak immediately rather than getting her to Goenka's house and leaving and then addressing his emotions after things have balanced out a bit. I think his mistake was also to trust that Goenkas will take care of Ak's well-being and not go and look for Ak himself to make sure she is ok. I don't think he is wrong in holding Ak responsible for a stupid decision that she and Neil took, which ended in two deaths.
And as to our previous conversation, I never said Abhi doesn't need to apologize. I said it doesn't make sense narratively cause we the audience and to a large extent even Ak know that he regrets his actions, whether that is because he lost six years of his son's life or because he lost his entire family. And basically, him apologizing will not move the narrative in any direction. Ak will still hate him, she will def not forgive him, and basically, nothing changes.
But...Ak apologizing would actually move some things along. Manjari doesn't really have much of a grudge left with Ak about WD. She actually wanted Ak and Abhi to get back together, so she doesn't think Ak is a murderer, so to speak. Neither does Abhi. But Ak made a mistake that lead to Manjari's son dying, and that is her issue. I am guessing the first to apologize will be Manjari, though. If Manjari apologizes, then Ak will also apologize, and they can just sit and talk it out. Abhi can also apologize then, and everyone can finally move on.
