Flashback ends.
It's raining heavily.
Avni and Neil completely drenched in the rain.
Neil sat on the roadside bench.
He doesn't even bothered about rain.
Avni stood there looking at her love who is hurt and guilt.
His eyes were teary.
Avni slowly went to him and kept her hand on his shoulder.
Neil immediately hugged by her stomach.
And he started to sob.
Avni felt really bad for him.
She kept her one hand on his hairs and one hand on his shoulder.
Looking him in that state Avni eyes became teary.
Neil : I...I am sorry av..Avni.
Mafi ke layak nahi hoon.....lekin ho sake tho please mujhe maaf kardo.
I am sorry.
Avni : N..nahi Neil pls....
Tumko ye sab thodi na pata hai Neil.
Isme tumhara koi galti nahi hai.
Pls tum iss tarah ro math...pls.
She said wiping his tears.
Suddenly her eyes fell on his hand which is bleeding.
Avni : n...Neil ye kaise hua...
Haa....
Neil looked at his wound and chuckled sadly.
When he witnessed the juhi's truth he broke the glass in his fist in anger.
Neil : jis dard meine tumhe diya tha...uske samne ye kuch bhi nahi hain Avni.
Ye tho hona hee tha.
Avni : Neil.....tumne mujhko koi dard nahi diya hai...samjhe???
Neil is looking at her simply.
Avni immediately took white kerchief from her wallet and tied around his wound carefully.
Meanwhile Neil only looking at her.
Neil : Mera ek sawal ka jawab dogi Avni??
Avni : Agar unka jawab mein de sakti ho tho mein dungi neil.
Neil : Tum meri zindagi mein do saal pehle Kyun nahi aayi Avni....
Uss juhi ke pehle Kyun nahi aayi.....
Mujhe uss juhi aane se pehle shadi Kyun nahi kiya hai tumne...
Avni stunned at his questions.
Her eyes became teary.
But she composed herself.
Avni : y..ye kaise sawal puch rahe ho tum Neil...
Sorry Neil lekin iska jawab mein bhi nahi janti.
Neil : Kyun Avni.....itna sab hone ke baad bhi tum mere sath de rahe ho??
Avni : Kyunki mein tumhari wife hoon Neil...
Neil again chuckled sadly.
Neil : kis tarah ki husband hoon mein Avni..
Avni : Ab ye sab chodo Neil chalo ab bohot der ho chuki hai.
Maa pareshan hogi.
Chalo...
Avni held his hand and dragged him to the car.
Neil only looking at her.
Avni : Keys do mujhe...Mein drive karti hoon..
Neil simply have the keys.
The drive was silent.
Neil looked very upset.
Avni : (In mind) Mein sab kuch thik kar dunga Neil....Mein tumhe aisa nahi dekh sakti.
Soon they reached home.
Hall is completely empty and silent.
Avni : Lagte hain maa aur papa so gayi.
Neil chalo,pehle change karo varna tabiyat karab ho jayega.
Neil simply went to upstairs.
Avni followed him.
Both changed their clothes.
Neil sat on the bed and started thinking.
Avni looked him and went to him.
She took a towel and started drying his hair.
Neil looked at her.
His eyes are still teary.
Even though Avni couldn't see him in that state she tried to smile.
Avni : ab jindagi bar aisa muh pher ke rahogi kya??
Neil simply looking at her.
Avni : Tum baito...mein bass khane ke liye kuch banake aati hoon.
Neil : Avni...mera mann nahi hai.
I don't want to eat.
Avni : Ab mujhe bhi bhooke pet se rehna hai kya???
(She made a puppy face)
Neil slightly smiled in tears.
Avni too smiled.
Avni : Ab aise hee haste raho.
Mein abhi aayi....
Avni went to kitchen.
It's already 11PM.
After exactly 15 min she came back with poha.
Neil engrossed in his own thoughts.
Avni : Ye lo ab....
Ab tho bass poha hee bana paya mein.
Aaj ke liye adjust karlena.
Neil : Mujhe bhuk nahi hai Avni.
Avni : thik hai ab tum nahi khaoge tho mein bhi nahi khaungi.
Mujhe tho bohot bhuk lagi hai ab....
Kal subah tak aisa bhuki pet se rehna hoga ab.....
Avni made a sad face.
Neil : Avni...pls tum khao na.
Avni : Nahi mein nahi khane wali hoon.
Neil sighed.
Neil : Acha thik hai khalunga.
Avni smiled widely.
Avni : ye hui na baat....
Chalo ab shuru karo.
Avni passed his plate.
Avni started eating.
But neil still didn't started to eat.
Avni sighed again and kept a spoon of poha near his mouth indicating to eat.
Neil looked at her emotionally.
Avni : Khalo...
Neil ate from her.
Neil : m..mein khalunga.
Avni left the spoon.
Somehow he had the dinner.
After wards Avni took the first aid box and applied ointment on his hand and bandaged.
Neil kept looking at her.
Avni : ho gaya.Ab so jao.
And soon they slept as usual Avni on the bed and Neil on the couch.
Avni insisted Neil a lot to sleep on the bed but neil slept on the couch.
Avni is in a deep sleep.
While sleep is far from Neil.
Neil : Neil is looking at Avni continuosly.
After a long he too drifted into sleep.
>>>>>>>
Next day.
Shweta's room.
Shweta slapped Neil.
Neela : Shweta ye kya kar rahi ho tum...ye galat hain.
Thankgod Avni is not there in the house.
Shweta,neela,bebe and prakash were present in the room.
Shweta : Kya galat hain....
Meine kaha tha usse ki juhi achi ladki nahi hain...
Neela : ye sab Neil ne jaanpooch ke nahi kiya tha na.
Neil ko nahi pata ki vo ladki kaisi hain.
Usne bass Neil ko majboor kar diya tha.
Isme Neil ki koi galti nahi hai..
Neil is looking down with tearful eyes.
He just said everything to them.
Shweta : Ek saal se Avni ko itna dard diya hai tumne....
Kaise Neil???
Neil : I'm sorry mom.
Mein iske layak nahi hoon...lekin mujhe maaf kijiye.
Mein sab se maafi maang thi hoon.
Neela : Nahi Neil...sach mein isme teri galti nahi hain.
Neil : Nahi maa,I doesn't deserve a girl like Avni.
Shweta : Haa...tumne Avni ki achayi ko fayda utaya.
Neil : I promise mein sab thik kar doonga.
Shweta : Kya karogi ab tum???
Bolo Neil...kya karogi..
Bebe : Shweta Tum rukho...
Bebe went to Neil.
Bebe : Kya tum Avni se pyar karte ho??
Neil closed his eyes.
Neil : Haa bebe karta hoon Avni se pyar....lekin mein uski pyar ki layak nahi hoon.
Shweta : Chalo maan liya.
Ab kuch bacha hai....
Neela : Shweta ye tum aisa kyun baat kar rahe ho???
Neil chalo mere sath...
Neela forcefully took Neil out of the room.
In AvNeil's room.
Neela : Bacha....tum Shweta ki baaton ko mann mein math lo.
Vo bass gusse mein hain...
Neil : Nahi maa....I deserve that.
Neela : Ye sab bhul jao Neil.
Avni ke liye bhul jao.
Neil : Kya mein atleast mein aapko "maa" kehne ka layak hoon??
Neela eyes became teary.
Neela : Tum mera beta hai...aur mein tumhara maa hoon.
Ye tum hamesha kehte hona ki "maa I'm ur only and ownly son,meri jagah kisi ko math dijiye"
Ye sab bhul gayi....
Neil suddenly hugged her and cried out.
Neela felt bad for him.
She caressed his hair.
Neela : Bass...sab kuch thik ho jayega.
Shweta ki narazgi bhi jyada din nahi rahegi.
Koi bhi maa apne bache se jyada vakt gussa nahi reh sakti.
Ab ye sab band karo aur bhul jao.
Avni aagayi tho usko shak ho jayega.
Avni : Maa......
Avni shouted from the down stairs.
Neil wiped his tears.
Avni came to their room and surprised after watching neela there.
Avni smiled widely and hugged her.
Avni : Maa..aap kab aayi.
Neela : bass thodi der pehle.
Avni : Neil...tum ko kya hua??
Neil : N..nahi tho kuch nahi.
Bass mein aur neela maa baat kar rahe the.
Avni : thik hain..mujhe Shweta maa neeche bula rahi hai,mein ja rahi hoon.
Aap dono bhi chalo mere sath.
Neil : haa tum jao bass mein aaraha hoon.
Neela : Haa bacha hum bas arahe hain.
Avni : ok.
Avni left from there.
Neela : Neil...pls be normal.
Neil noded his head and composed himself.
They both went to downstairs.
They gathered for lunch.
Shweta is still angry on Neil.
Neil didn't attempted to talk with her.
Avni settled beside Neil.
Avni : Pata hai aaj riya ne saara shopping mall ghuma diya.
Shweta : Waise Avni beta tum ne nahi kiya shopping??
Avni : nahi maa mere pass sab kuch hain.
Shweta : thik hain iss weekend mein hum dono chalte hain.
Avni : ok maa,bebe aur neela maa ko bhi sath mein leke chalte hain.
Bebe : Chalo Kam se kam meri poti ko tho meri parwa hain.
Kisi ko meri fikar hee nahi hain.
All chuckled at bebe's cute comments.
Neil is in his own thoughts.
He did not eating properly.
Shweta noticed this but she didn't said anything.
Avni looked at him.
Avni : Neil khao na...kya soch rahe ho tum...
Neil : Kuch nahi kha rahi hoon...(with a slight smile)
Time skipped.
Night-
Neil still didn't come from the office.
Avni is waiting for him.
She didn't even had her dinner.
>>>>>>
Khanna's Industries.
Prakash : It's ok Neil mein jaunga.
Neil : No dad,mein hee jaunga.

Prakash : Ok..
Ek kaam karo Avni ko bhi sath leke jao.
Tum dono aaj tak sath mein kahi nahi gayi thi.
Neil : Wo...agar mein Avni ko leke jau bhi na...mein usko kahi bahar nahi leke ja sakta.
Actually meetings mein busy honga mein tho...Hum wapas aane ke baad kahi aur jayenge.
Avni tho America kahi baar ja chuki hain.
Prakash : Ok, as you wish.
Prakash just patted his shoulder and left the cabin.
It's around 10 PM,then Neil n prakash came together from the office.
Avni is already waiting for them in the hall.
Avni : Aap dono ko aaj itna late kyun ho gayi??
Prakash : Bass aaj bohot jyada meetings the puttar...
Avni : It's ok papa...aap dono fresh hoke aayiye.
Prakash : Beta plss aaj ke liye mera khana mujhe room mein dedo.
I am tired .
Avni : Ok papa...aap jaiye mein leke aati hoon.
Prakash left to his room.
Neil : Aaa...Avni mujhe bhook nahi hai.
I had a slight head ache.
Avni : kal se ye drama kyun karne lage ho tum.
Mein janti hoon ki tum yahi kahogi.
Iss liye mein bhi nahi khayi ab tak.
Tum jaldi jao aur fresh hoke aa jao.
Neil : Avni tum itne der tak kyun nahi khayi??
Avni : Ab jab husband itne der tak ghar nahi aayi tho phir wife kaise kha sakti hain.....
Neil : Bohot intezaar karva rahi hoon na mein....
Avni : I don't mind Neil.
Ab tum jaldi fresh hoke aao.
Neil went to his room.
Avni went inside the kitchen to arrange the dinner.
She took the food to Prakash's room and said him to have the dinner and she came back.
After sometime Neil came downstairs.
Avni has already arranged the food on the table.
Both settled beside each other.
She served him.
Avni : Ab khao...Tumhara hee pasand hai aaj sab kuch.
Aloo paratha aur bindi.
Neil slightly smiled.
Neil : Tum ne banaya???
Avni : Haa ofcourse.
Sham se maa ki sar mein dard hain issliye aaj sab kuch meine banayi thi.
Neil started having his dinner.
He always love her cooking.
Even though she is well educated from the other country she always manages to make best dishes.
According to him she is the best wife that any man could have.
Avni : Neil ab tumhara hath kaisa hain.abhi bhi dard ho raha hain??(with a concern)
Neil : Nahi Avni...ab thik hain.
Don't worry.
Avni simply smiled.
Since yesterday Neil became very silent after that incident.
Both finished their dinner.
Avni : Tum jao mein bass ye sab kitchen mein rakh ke aati hoon.
Neil : ok...
Neil left to their room.
He stood in the balcony and thinking something looking at the moon.
Meanwhile Avni came back with small bowl of warm oil.
Avni went to him and patted on his shoulder.
Neil turned back and smiled at her.
Avni held his hand and brought him inside.
Neil : Avni kya hua??
Avni made him to sit on the couch.
Avni : Tumko sar mein dard ho raha hain na??
Neil : Haa.lekinnn....
Avni : Ab office mein utna kaam karoge tho dard hee hota hain.
Iss liye ab mein tumhe head massage deti hoon.
Neil : Avni it's ok...mein medicine leti hoon.
Avni : Har baar medicine nahi le sakte ho Neil.
Neil stayed calm.
She started to massage his hair and head with warm oil.
Neil closed his eyes in a relax.
She is standing back of the couch.
Neil looked at her.
Avni : Kya hua??
Neil : Tum sofa mein baito mein neeche baitungi.
Avni : It's ok Neil..
Neil : Nahi tum aao...
Neil sat on the floor.
Avni sighed and sat on the couch.
And she again started massaging his head.
He closed his eyes all the time.
Avni : Itna bhi kaam math karo Neil...aise hee tabiyat karab ho jayegi.
Neil pooled in his thoughts.
Neil : (in mind) Shayad mera iss dard kam ho jayega Avni...
Lekin jo dard mere dil mein hain,pata nahi kaise Kam hoga.
I am gonna miss you Avni..
Neil : Avni mein business ki kaam ki vajah se America ja raha hoon...
Avni stopped massaging.
Avni : Kyaa??
Lekin Neil Achanak??
Neil : Vo bass sab kuch achanak se ho gaya....
Avni felt upset.
Avni : K..kab ja rahe ho??
Neil : Kal sham ko.
Avni : Kya....??? Kal???
Neil : Haa...
Avni : Kab aaoge Neil...
Neil felt sadness in her voice.
Neil turned around and looked at her sad face.
He sat beside her.
Neil held her hands.
Neil : Sorry avni...sab achanak se ho gaya.
Avni : it's ok Neil.
Lekin tum hamari anniversary tak aajaogi na???
Neil : P..pata nahi..
Avni felt more upset with his answer.
Neil noticed that.
Neil : Don't worry Avni...I'll try to come soon.
Avni simply smiled.
Neil : Ab so jao tum.
Bohot der ho gayi.
Neil stood.
Avni : Neil tum bed pe so jao.
Neil : Nahi Avni it's ok mein couch mein comfortable hoon.
Avni : nahi...ab tum bhi bed pe so jao.
Neil : matlab tum bed pe so jaogi??
Avni : Haa....
Neil is looking at her continuosly.
Avni : Ab tumhe mujh pe itna bhi barosa nahi hain???
Neil chuckled.
Neil : Aisa nahi hain Avni.
Mujhe laga tum uncomfortable hogi.
Avni : Nahi. I'll be fine.
Tum so jao.
Neil : Ok.
Neil went to the other side and lied on the bed.
Avni too lied on her side.
Avni closed her eyes.
Neil again pooled in his thoughts.
He turned to the side and looked at Avni who closed her eyes but not still slept.
Neil : (in mind) Ab tumhe itna dukh dene ki saja mein jindagi bar bughtne ke liye taiyar hoon mein Avni.
Neil : A..av...Avnii...
Avni opened her eyes.
Avni : Haa neil...kuch chahiye.
Neil : n..nahi...
Avni : Kya hua Neil...
Neil : C..can I h..hug you and sleep avni??
He looked like a bit emotional.
Avni looked at him surprising.
Neil : J..just a hug??
Avni went to him and kept her head on his chest.
She smiled in a peace.
Avni : Kya hua Neil...??
You look sad.
Neil : N..nahi bass.
Avni : Ok then.
Avni hugged him by keeping her head on his chest.
Neil engulfed her tightly.
Unknowingly he kissed on her head.
Avni closed her eyes and felt him.
It is the first time he engulfed her in his arms.
Avni : (in mind) I know Neil,tum abhi bhi sad ho...
I promise Neil mein sab thik kar dunga.
And soon she drifted into the sleep in his arms.
Soon Neil too slept.
That was really a peaceful sleep for them.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Next day.
4PM.
Neil all set to leave.
Avni is packing some wanted things for him.
After sometime his packing is completed.
Neil held his trolley and ready to leave.
Avni is looking emotionally at him.
Neil : Take care Avni.
Avni : Tum bhi Neil....
Aur mujhe pahuchne ke baad call kar lena.
Neil noded his head.
Avni : a...aur tum pls jaldi ajao.
Aane ke baad tumhare liye ek surprise hain.
Neil held his tears back.
Neil simply noded his head smiling. Slightly.
And he hugged her tightly and suddenly.
Avni too hugged him back.
She felt something wrong.
After a minute he moved away from the hug.
Neil : Ab chalta hoon...
Avni : Chalta hoon nahi....aata hoon....
Neil again noded his head attempting to smile.
Neil : Bye.
Avni : chalo mein neeche arahi hoon tere sath.
And they both left to downstairs.
Shweta,bebe,prakash and neela were present in the hall.
Neil went to shweta and hugged her.
Neil mumbled a sorry while hugging her.
Shweta caressed his head.
Shweta : Jaldi aajao.
Aur time pe khalena.
Neil noded.
Neil went to bebe and took her blessings.
Bebe : jeete raho puttar...ab jao aur jaldi aajao.
Then Neil went to neela and hugged her.
Neil : I'm sorry maa.
Neela : Meine kaha na sab kuch bhul jane ko...tum abhi bhi ussi baat ko leke baito ho??
Neil simply smiled.
Neil hugged his father.
Neil looked at Avni who is looking sad but still managed to smile.
Neil smiled at her.
Neil : Bye Avni.
Avni : Bye Neil...jaldi aajao.
Meine kaha tha na tere liye ek surprise hain.
Neil noded his head.
He finally left to the airport and flew to America.
All the day Avni was sad.
>>>>>>>>>>>
After 4 days.
In all these Neil didn't called to any of his family.
Not even to Avni.
Everyone thought that he must be busy and tired.
Shweta was arranging her cupboard.
He found a letter in between her closet.
Shweta : ye kya hai???
She opened the letter and started reading.
Her eyes widened while reading that letter.
She is shocked.
Letter -I am sorry maa.Mein janti hoon ki aap sahi the juhi ki baat ko leke.Mein aapke baaton par vishwas kiya tha,lekin mein majboor thi maa.
Mujhe laga juhi sach mein sucide kar legi.Mein nahi chahta ki meri vajah se kisi ki jaan chala jaye.Iss liye mein uss din aap ke baaton ko nahi suni.
Jiss dard ek saal se Avni ko diya tha meine...uske liye mein ab zindagi bar kudh ko saja dene ke liye taiyar ho gaya.
I'm sorry maa.
But I really loved Avni.She is my first love and she will be my last love too.
Mere dil mein jagah sirf aur sirf Avni ka hain.Avni ki jagah koi nahi le sakta.
Avni ke alawa mein kisi aur ke bare mein soch bhi nahi sakti.
Lekin aap sach the mom....mein shayad Avni ko deserve nahi karti.
I'm sorry to neela maa.
Ho sake tho muje maaf kijiye.
Yours Neil.
Tears started flowing from her eyes.
She dropped that letter on the floor....
Shweta : ye kya kiya tillu ne...
Sab ko chod ke America chala gaya....
U..usne tho k..kaha tha ki vo business meeting ke liye ja rahe hain....
Shweta dropped on the floor while crying...
Shweta : Ye kiya meine....
A..ab Avni ko kya bolungi mein....
She immediately called to neela and said everything.
After sometime neela came to Khanna's house.
Soon all the family members got to know about that letter except Avni.
As she went to meet Ali and riya to spend sometime with her friends because she felt bored in the house.
