"Forgive me." The teacher said with a sigh,
The blood vessels in Vijay's eyes had started to redden.
Vijay could see from the look he had on his face that his anger was crossing the line.
He said, "Kelrav, hold her, don't let her go," as he looked at the teacher.
He also said, "Take her outside and make her wait," to Kaurav, "He knelt down at Rakshi's height and said, "Abhi, you can play inside, Dad will come right away." He sent the child to another room and got up.
When he got up, he looked back at Kaurav, and Kaurav forcibly dragged the tutor out.
Even though Rakshi wanted her father to be with her, she couldn't watch all these fighting scenes.
So, she said, "Okay Dad." to Vijay, nodded her head and went inside the room.
Vijay left the room and came to Assistant Kaura. There, Kaura had already got all the truth from her.
"These tutors are the people sent by your uncle. They gave them a lot of money and thought that Abhiya would be a mentally challenged child. Then their heirs would take over all your hotels & businesses and become the chairman, so they did this. These two people were sent by that old man, so we were also a little bit harassed.." He told Vijay all the truth he got from her.
The old madam paid more attention to Abhiya. Vijay never even imagined that the teachers she sent would have wrong intentions.
"What did these two do to Abhiya??" Vijay asked with a stern face.
"They make her sit for a long time, they beat her on the scale, and when she looks at me, these are the kinds of punishments she gives. On top of that, she never gives Abhi any serious lessons. And she doesn't abuse him at all. Because, other people know. Thank god." Gaurav put it all together.
"Should we inform the police and throw her in jail?" Gaurav asked. The tutor's legs started shaking in fear.
The one who was listening to all this patiently was so angry with the tutor. Vijay, who looked at her with a frown, asked her to bring Abhi's scale. Gaurav brought it and gave it to her,
He grabbed the tutor's hand, pulled it, turned it, and hit her on the back of her fingers with anger. Tears welled up in the tutor's eyes, unable to bear the pain, but she did not scream.
Gaurav noticed the anger on Vijay's face, thinking that this would have been different if it had been a man. Gaurav realized that the anger in Vijay's eyes was his fierce love for the child Abhinav.
"Sir, sir, sell it, sir.." the tutor pleaded while crying.
"Tell her to go out." he spat out the words through gritted teeth.
After doing all this, Vijay entered Abhinav's room. There, Rakshi was playing with toy cars alone in Abhinav's place. Seeing that, Vijay felt even more sad.
Thinking it was Abhinav, the man who went near Rakshi, "Sir, Abhi." He bent down to her height and said.
"It's enough for you to realize it, Pappa." She said with a beautiful smile.
Abhi has been with Vijay since he was a little boy. He does everything for him. From changing his diaper to feeding him, he has done everything. However, Abhi would not talk to anyone until he was one and a half years old. His doctor said that he had congenital autism.
However, Vijay's grandmother said, "He doesn't even have a mother. That's why he doesn't have that sense of security. That's why he won't talk to anyone. He will get better eventually." That's because Abhi is still a small child. The doctor advised that he needed someone to take care of him, without a single man, and they arranged for him a babysitter, a private teacher, and everything else.
Similarly, as he got older, Abhi started talking to everyone a little bit. Vijay was a little relieved to see that.
The child Abhi is a little stubborn. Sometimes his extreme stubbornness would make Vijay angry. At that time, he even felt like beating him. But he would control himself. He would think about it all the time. Children are like that, Vijay soon understood that raising them is not that easy.
Thinking that Abhi had said, "It is enough if you realize it, father," Vijay looked at Rakshi Kutty. She was still standing there smiling,
Vijay said, "You don't need a personal teacher anymore, Abhi. I will teach you myself from now on." and picked her up, her eyes widened upon hearing that.
Rakshi Kutty didn't like doing homework at all. "God save me, Abhi save me," she thought to herself.

On the other hand, Abhinav came into Rakshitha's room and was researching all the things there. There were many photos there. Kalki and Rakshi Kutty would take all these wherever they went.
They were going to stay here for a month, so they had transformed the room into their home.
The two of them had filled all the available tables with photographs.
Abhinav was watching it all. The one who saw it felt jealous in the corner of his mind. Vijay would never take him anywhere. Even if he took him like that, he would not be able to leave the room. Vijay would not let him go.
Baby Abhinav was watching everything longingly. He wondered what it would be like if his mother were with him.
After a while, Kalki came and all she saw was Abhinav sitting in Rakshi Kutty's place instead of playing games like a normal child.
Seeing Abhinav, thinking it was Rakshi Kutty and having untangled his hair, she said, "What a surprise, the baby is sleeping peacefully now, good girl." and kissed his forehead,
Abhinav melted in Amma's embrace. Abhinav thought that how affectionate his mother was, she didn't even speak in shock.
Kalki put her handbag nearby and sat down next to him, thinking it was Rakshi Kutty.
"Mommy. Do you have a tire??" he asked with wide eyes.
Seeing that, all the tiredness in her eyes disappeared. "No, papu." She said and picked him up on her lap.
"Rakshi Kutty, what are you doing today??? What do you want to eat??? Mommy, I will make it for you." She asked.
"Mmm. I want a sandwich. Will you make it for me???" she asked softly, and Kalki's eyes widened automatically. "Is it always a sandwich, Rakshi???" she asked, she shouldn't take a bath after eating. That's why Momma will go and take a bath and come back. Then we will come and eat. So, he nodded and said okay.
Seeing that, she lifted Abhi and went into the bathroom. She made him sit on the bathtub and said, "First you take a bath, Rakshi." Only then did he remember.
He was a man, but Rakshita was a woman. As far as Kalki was concerned, this was not Abhi. Rakshita. Abhi had gone and seen her.
"No, mom. I will take a bath myself," he said,
Kalki said, "Hmmm, now Rakshita is a big girl." Abhi smiled at her. Kalki left him alone.
He only got out of breath when he came from there. He slowly went to the next room, took a bath by himself, changed his clothes and came out.
There, Kalki had already taken a bath and was preparing food for them.
"Mom. Shall we have ice cream??" he asked, "Shall we have ice cream, Rakshi??" She asked at the same time and looked at each other.
After that, he also went to stand near her, Kalki made him sit on the cooking platform.
Both of them were talking and cooking. In the middle, she hummed some song, it seemed like it was his favorite song too. Both of them were singing together.
Abhinav was very fond of Amma Kalki. He sat with her and watched how she did everything.
After a while, the cooking was over, both of them ate.
"Hmm.. will it be very good?" Abhi said. Kalki nodded his head and said, "Rakshi. I have a big operation in two days. I will sleep and take rest.. I will go and sleep, okay?" She asked,
"Okay mummy" Abhinav said. She said that and went and lay down.
Seeing that, Abhi also did not pay much attention. Because, Rakshi had told him. Mom loves sleeping, and even when she is sick or has problems, she sleeps a lot to forget about it, and that is Kalki's hobby.
After a few seconds, she heard the sound of long breaths coming from her mother, and realizing that Kalki had fallen asleep well, Abhinav climbed onto the bed, put his head on Kalki's hand, hugged her, and listened to Kalki's heartbeat.
He slept peacefully because he now had his mother.
So Rakshi didn't see the emergency messages that little Abhinav had sent. She kept sending him messages to save him from his father.
She had also sent him "tears emojis and that I don't want my father anymore."

In the cab where Rakshitha Vijay went to drink water, she again texted him, "What are you waiting for, Abhi. I can't stay here. Let's switch to our left, I need my mother."
Vijay came near Rakshi again and gave him a math sum, saying, "I'll tell you, Abhi. First, make this salve." Seeing that, Rakshitha woke up like a Thiruthiru. In fact, she didn't know how to put it.
"You made this salve a long time ago, Abhi. Why don't you make it now???" When asked, what would she answer? She woke him up too.
Since Rakshi was born in America, she hadn't taught her these films yet. Their education system is different.
"What's wrong, Abhi, why are you doing this?" Vijay asked a little tensely.
"Dad. "Why don't we try history?" asked Rakshi Kutti, Vijay said, "Okay. Cake."
Answer the question. Who was the first Prime Minister of India???" he asked, she didn't know. Where did she grow up here.
Then she thought about something and said, "Tom Cruise."
"That's a foreigner, Abi. What is he like??? Why??? If you don't know, can you tell me the name that came to your mind?? It was Jawaharlal Nehru." He said, staring at her.
"Oh okay, next question please?" she said.
"Next question. Which politician was killed in 1991??" He asked, and she said, "Daniel Radcliffe." He was now staring at her furiously. However, remembering that Abi had just started talking a little, he controlled all his anger and asked the next question.
"When did India get its independence??" He asked, and she said, "1776." That was the year America got its independence. Is this right? Thinking about it, he also got a strong glare from him.
Rakshita got scared seeing that. Even though she was sitting at the range where she didn't have any mane on her moustache.
"Who invented light bulb??" he asked. It was clear from his question. He asked in a tone like "At least answer this correctly," and when he said, "Thanos," he glared at her.
She said, "What. This is also wrong. "Why don't they tell me the truth for once??" she started thinking. Because, she had answered two questions thinking that the answer to India was America. As far as she was concerned, that was correct.
Then Vijay, not wanting to control Abhi any further, said, "Okay. We'll see you tomorrow. You go and sleep.",
Rakshi Kutty also said, "Daddy." and ran inside with a sigh.
Vijay also didn't scold Abhinav. He thought that those teachers were the reason for all this.
Gaurav, who was watching Rakshi running away from there, thought it was Abhinav and asked Vijay,
" Abhi seems to be more active now than before? But he is not like before in studies, he has a good memory. He is having a lot of trouble doing maths these days?? If he goes now, his academic points will be reduced. What's the matter??" he asked.
"Leave it. We'll see. Don't force him anymore." said Vijay.
Even children who study well, if they stop studying, they forget everything. Those two teachers did not teach him anything else properly. That's why Vijay got angry with them. Because Abhi is a good student. Vijay thought that they were the ones who made him like this.
Suddenly, he remembered what Kalki had said to Vijay, "How does that Kalki know that these tutors are not right?" and asked Kaurav an important question.
Kaurav also had that doubt. "Maybe Kalki would have talked to Abhi again? She is the one who has been trying to talk to you since Abhi came. Many people have tried to get close to you in the same way. But, not all of them were successful, but this..." he dragged on.
Hearing that, Vijay thought for a while and said, "Hmm, maybe. "Look what Kalki is doing..." he said.
"That girl is sleeping soundly now." Gaurav replied in a daze.
"How do you know that???" Vijay asked in surprise,
He said, "That... the room cleaners came and told him."
He was shocked to hear that, thinking how his aunt was sleeping like this when she was on her deathbed, he smiled with a scorn and said,
"Don't let her get close to that Kalki Abhi anymore."
