Neil stops.
Avni: but your all fear comes truth right.
Neil was looking at her.
Neil: I am sorry.
Avni: Neil I understand whatever happened was wrong very wrong but your hiding the truth from me is above my thought when we first time met I found you alone and in deep grief and I came to share your pain but what you did you lied to me.
Neil Shocked.
Avni: I understand I totally understand that we were stranger it's difficult to trust a stranger but later we fell in love we were in relationship we were going to marry still you hide the truth from me why.
Neil was looking at her.
Neil: because I.
Avni: don't trust you.
Neil Shocked.
Avni: you didn't trust me that's why you hide the truth from me.
Neil shook his head.
Avni: yes Neil that's why you lied to me you thought I will also not believe you that's why you lied to me Neil I also have a past I also don't want to talk about that but I told you about that because I thought you have the right to know about me past Neil past is passed I also ignored that and would have not tell you but I wanted to be honest to you I trust you that you will not judge me and my mamma and will understand the situation.
Neil Shocked.
Avni: but what you did you lied to me Neil trust is as much important as love because without it a relation can never work but you did you hide the truth from me.
Neil was shocked.
Avni: Neil if you just said that, avni I have a past which I wanted to forget and its difficult for me to talk about that. Trust me Neil trust me I would have never ask you that but you choose to lie you was afraid of losing me because you never trust me never understood me If you knew the real avni you would have never hide the truth from me but you you never trust me.
Neil: Avni it's not like that I I had already lost the family so I didn't want to lose you because only I have you on the name of family I didn't want to lose you avni please forgive me please I promise I will never hide anything from you now.
