It had been 7 years since Rohit's demise.He and Abhira had taken over all the responsibilities of the Poddar House.But in between all of this they had found their own joy- Agastya.They had been overjoyed when they had discovered that Abhira was pregnant.However in the past 5 years things had changed.They had grew so busy that they barely had any time for each other.Armaan felt like they had drifted apart.Armaan had two responsibilities- Daksh & Agastya.And Abhira knew that Armaan was faltering in being Agastya's father,she could see it in her son's eyes.So Abhira took up the role of being both parents...And slowly she didn't realize when but she too started to resent Armaan for neglecting their son.Armaan hadn't realized when the distance between him and Abhira had widened into this huge thing...And it all came to blows on their children's football match...Both of their school were playing against each other...Abhira had made it clear when time had came Agastya would go to a different school....
It was halftime and Agastya's school was 2 points behind and at halftime Agastya squinted his eyes at Daksh..His mumma had taught him never to hate but he hated Daksh for taking away his father.Agastya was absolutely like his mother Abhira when it came to competition while Daksh same like Rohit.Agastya who had been a captain of his school's football team scored the winning goal and he jumped right into his Mumma's arms....Armaan looked at Agastya he knew his son was drifting from him,Abhira was drifting but he honestly didnt know how to handle things any better....Agastya looked sadly at his father who was busy trying to lift of Daksh's spirits...His winning didnt matter to his father at all....
The entire family was celebrating Agastya's win but the person that mattered the most to Agastya was absent from the scene.Vidya noticed her grandson's sad eyes and she sent Armaan to Agastya from Daksh's room....Armaan smiled seeing everybody happy over Agastya's win....Just as Armaan was about to hug his son no sooner that the volcano burst....
Agastya (pushing his father)-Dont....Aap Daksh ke paas jaye....I donot want you...You are not my father,aap sirf Daksh se pyaar karte hai....If you didnt want me why did you have me....?
Armaan (tearfully)-No I love you Agastya.Its just that Daksh...
Agastya (crying)-I know Rohit chachu is not there,so he is stealing my papa...I hate you....You make my mumma cry,you only care of Daksh....I donot want you.....
Agastya started sobbing loudly.Madhv,Manoj all tried to make him feel better but none could stop the crying.Ruhi was astounded....Such a huge accusation on Daksh....Was this true,was Daksh the reason Armaan had been neglecting Agastya.....Finally Abhira picked him up and announced that she was leaving for Par nanu's place and she specifically instructed Armaan to stay away from her son....Everybdo tried to stop her but Abhira made it clear her son was her priority not somebody else's son.....Ruhi was left agape.Abhira had never spoken like that...
Manish and Suwarna had called Ruhi and had scolded her.She was the reason why Abhira & Armaan's marriage was remaining by thread, why little Agastya was so hurt & how this might ruin Daksh & Agastya's relationship unaware that Agastya hated Daksh......Suwarna bluntly told Ruhi that Aarohi had raised her single handedly.That Armaan was Daksh's chachu not father.That he was Agastya's father....That Abhira was handling everything with single hand.Agastya had slept hugging his mother tightly..Abhira never knew so much ran in her ladoo's mind....She kissed him on her forehead...She had decided now it was time for Armaan to decide what he wanted...
Armaan came inside the Goenka House searching for his little boy...He never knew so much ran his little mind...Yes he knew that Agastya never liked spending time with Daksh.He preferred company of Krish and Aryan over Daksh.He even went to Abhira to her office but never spent any time with Daksh...He saw Abhira making lunch for her ladoo.He smiled slightly...It was time to talk honestly....He kept the chocolate cake in the fridge.Abhira noticed him but chose to work in silence...
Abhira (telling him)-Chocolate cake in the morning not right now....And little bit.Sugar is not good for him..
Armaan (taking a huge breath)-Okay alright as you say.We need to talk....Did you itna kuch chal raha tha Agastya ke maan mai...
Abhira (angrily)-I knew that he was angry at you,he hated Daksh but I never knew my ladoo was this much in stress about you and Daksh.....His sadness was in his eyes dikh jaat tha,but obviously if you had time for your own son.....
Soon Agastya woke up and ran like hurricane to his mother,Abhira picked him and showered him with kisses...Agastya's smile faded when he saw Armaan and shifted closely to Abhira....Armaan felt something break inside him...His own son wanted to stay away from him....Armaan crouched to his level and hugged him tightly....Little Agastya too melted little bit and hugged his father...And suddenly he noticed a bag...
Agastya (curiously)-Mumma whose bag is this ?
Abhira (nodding)-No its not ours.....
Armaan (confessing)-No its mine...I am staying.....
Agastya (scrunching up his nose)-Till Ruhi chachi calls you for Daksh......?
Armaan (chuckling )-No champ....I am staying till you both stay here...Your PP nanu gave me permission.....
Abhira looked at Manish from kitchen and he nodded...Abhira signaled Suwarna....Soon Manish & Suwarna took Agastya to park leaving Abhira & Armaan alone.She had wanted to talk to her husband alone and now she had her chance....Abhira went towards her files & took out the papers she had made for Armaan...Armaan was stunned seeing the papers....
Armaan (angrily)-You want to divorce me ? Abhira what the hell ? I am not going to sign these ever....
Abhira (angrily)-I had enough Armaan..Since our marriage...I had to adjust for this and than that and for your Ma and Dadisa and all that is enough now....This is about my son and I donot have the stamina to tolerate Ruhi anymore....I will stay in Udaipur with my firm being here.You cane meet your son when you please but we are done.....
Armaan (scoffing)-Ruhi is Rohit's widow and Daksh's mother,hamara koi aur rishta nahi hai Abhira....I love you....Always....
Abhira (angrily)-Than maybe you donot see how Ruhi looks at you these days.....Mai biwi hu tumhari Armaan.....I will not tolerate another person in this marriage anymore....Hamara divorce ho jao than you can marry that woman.....
Armaan (angrily,yelling)-ABHIRA !! How dare you insinuate something like that ? Ruhi might feel something par mere pyaar par bharosa nahi hai tumhe ?
Abhira (angrily)-Nahi hai mujhe bharosa.......My son will not play second fiddle like you Armaan.....Woh Dadisa ki koi expectations poori nahi karega....YOu know why I started my own practice ? So that my son someday doesnot have to work for Kaveri Poddar....I had enough.....
Armaan (bringing her closer)-I am not going to divorce you....I love you and our son....No Ruhi is going to change that.....
Abhira (scoffing angrily)-Tumhe pata haina Armaan you will have to do what you have dragging for so long.....Choose.....Tumhe Daksh ka bade papa ban ke rehna hai ya phir with me & Agastya....
Armaan (explaining)-Abhira we all stay in the same house.....Daksh doensot have Rohit Abhira......
Abhira (angrily)-That is not your responsibility Armaan....Ruhi has entire family at her disposal,afterall she is Rohit's wife.....Agastya just has you....Daksh has many father figures including papa...Tum akele nahi ho....Tum uske Chachu ho Armaan,papa nahi...You have a son who is craving for you...Aur Ruhi kyu akele nahi sambhal sakti Daksh ko ? I was raised alone without any male figures or my father....If Ma can do it why not Ruhi ? Ruhi has such a huge family.......I am tired Armaan of fighting for us time and again.....
Armaan (cupping her face)-You know I love you Abhira.....I know we are battling some issues,I know I havent be there but please donot give up jaan......I love you....Nahi reh sakta tumhare bina....
Abhira (trying to remove his hands)-Maybe thats why you take me for granted Armaan Poddar.....
Abhira angrily went away to her room...She knew serving those divorce papers was not a good idea but she had to make him choose...She wiped her tears and fed Agastya with her hands,while Agastya enjoyed being fed by his mumma.He looked carefully at Armaan...He had thought that Armaan would go away to Daksh but he was still here....Came nightfall Agastya slept between Armaan and Abhira....Agastya slept hugging Armaan.....Armaan chuckled,Agastya was definitely more like his mother.....
Abhira had smiled in the morning seeing Armaan and Agastya...She prayed to god to keep it like this....Around evening Abhira had received a call from Agastya's school...Somebody had pushed him and he was hurt and taken to hospital.Abhira had called Armaan with shaking hands and he had assured her that he was on the way.....Both Armaan and Abhira were stunned seeing Ruhi with Daksh at the hospital....Ruhi looked apologetically at both of them making them curious....But they went inside to their son who had hugged Abhira seeing the injection.....After the dressing Agastya had told both of his parents that Daksh had pushed him....Abhira had lost it just at the mention.....
Abhira (angrily)-What the hell Ruhi ?
Ruhi (begging for apology)-Abhira I am so sorry.....Its just that Daksh is possessive about Armaan and him spending time with Agastya....
Abhira (bluntly)-Daksh is Armaan's nephew not son...Agastya is his son...Jitni jaldi tum Daksh ko ye farak samjhado utna better.....Why cant you handle your son ? My mumma raised me alone.....Without any family...Aur tumhare paas toh itna bada family hai....
Ruhi (stunned)-I know Abhira that Armaan is not Daksh's father....
Abhira (bluntly)-Than stop acting like he is....Armaan is my husband Ruhi...Agastya is our son and Daksh our nephew......Start taking responsibility for YOUR son....
Ruhi (stunned)-You used to love Daksh
Abhira (sadly)-And you told me that Daksh was my nephew Ruhi....You can go....
Ruhi looked through the hole and saw Armaan hugging Agastya tightly....Today it had been almost like a shock for him....Ruhi sadly knew the reality,Daksh would have to understand that Agastya was sharing Armaan with him, not the other way around....
