Teri Meri Kahani

Chapter 25

It was the time of evening, there was a complete silence in the forest area. A car was standing at the side of the road and Avni and Neil were standing near it. Neil was shockingly looking at the man who was standing at a good distance and he was standing by pointing a gun at Avni. Avni was confused. The man shoots.

Neil: Avniii…

Neil captured Avni in his arms. His one hand was on Avni’s waist and the second hand was on Avni’s head. Neil completely covered Avni and sat down with her. The bullet missed. The man was shocked. Neil turned his face and Avni opened her eyes. Neil saw the man and Avni followed his gaze. She was shocked to see the man. Neil took out his gun from under his shirt and he shoots at the man who got in the car in the passenger seat and the bullet hit the car’s door. Avni squeezed her eyes and kept her hand on her ears. Neil got up and he shoots at the car. The man turned the car and ran away. Neil tried to hit the tire of the car but the car was away and they ran from there.

Neil: shit.

Neil was panting. Neil turned to Avni and he went to her. Neil sat on his feet and he held Avni’s arms. The gun was in Neil’s hand.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked at Neil. Neil panicked.

Neil said while checking Avni: you are fine, han? You are ok? Tumhe kahin lagi to nahi na, Hmm? Tum theek ho na?

Avni nodded and Neil hugged Avni. Neil was shivering because of fear of losing Avni. Neil broke the hug and he held Avni’s arm.

Neil: Avni, get up, we have to go from here as soon as possible.

Avni was looking at him.

Neil: come on, get up fast.

Neil helped Avni to get up. First, Neil made Avni sit in the car then he came to the driving seat and he got in the car. Neil turned the car and they drove from there.

On the other side, the sun was all set to go down but still, it was shining on the one side of the Mehta house. Inside the house, the Khanna family and the Mehta family were standing in the living area. Everyone was tense. They heard the sound of the car.

Shweta: lagta hai woh log agaye.

Neela maa was about to go.

Ashish: Neela, wait.

Neela maa looked at Ashish and she was about to say but Ashish signed her relax. Neela maa was worried and she was rubbing her hands. She was desperate to see Avni.

Avni and Neil came. Avni was lost and Neil was looking down. He was still under the effect of the incident. Avni saw her mother and she got emotional. Today, Avni saw death in front of her. Everyone came to Avneil and Avni saw them. Neil also saw them and then he looked down.

Neela maa caught Avni’s arms and she was crying then she hugged Avni. Neela maa cried and Avni also got emotional but she smiled.  Neil saw them and then he lowered his gaze.

Avni rubbed the back of her mother.

Avni: mamma, relax, I am fine.

Everyone got emotional. Neela maa broke the hug and she cupped Avni’s face.

Nm: you are fine, right?

Avni nodded and she cupped the face of her mother.

Avni: I am absolutely fine. Relax.

Avni looked at Ashish who was looking at her with teary eyes. Ashish hugged Avni and captured her in his arms. Avni smiled with teary eyes. Everyone met her. Neil was looking at Avni.
