Her Saviour

The Deal

Avni's POV

God knows what's going on in everyone's mind. Nobody is ready to tell me what's going on here.

May be Eisha is right that I am stressing over this matter a lot..... After all Aadi Bhaiya will handle everything. I am sure he'll not let Baba sell our home.

"Avni!!! Avni.... Come down stairs ", I heard Baba calling me.

" Yes Baba coming ", I shouted literally running down stairs.

As I was coming down running... I saw Baba and Bhaiya sitting in the hall... And both of them were looking very serious.
I went up to them.

" Sit here", said Baba pointing towards the vacant sofa in front of him.

I sit on the sofa looking at both of them sitting in front of me silent. I decided to break the ice.

"Why both of you are so quiet??...... And why I have been called? ", I asked hesitantly.

" Hmm... A.. Avni listen I agree that you have lots of memories with this house and you don't want me to sell it..... It's fine I'll not... But" , Baba didn't even finish what he was saying and I jumped in between.

"But.....What", I asked.

" You have to go to the hostel.... You have to pursue your studies from the hostel only. You can't do it from the home", said Baba.

"But Baba if we are not moving from here then why I have to go to the hostel", I kind of yelled.

" Avni you wanted me not to sell this house...I am doing that. But you have to go to the hostel as both me and your brother can't manage to be here with you ..... And we can't take you to anywhere we are posted... That will affect your studies. You can't live here all alone", said Baba.

All alone.... Wow as I wasn't all alone till now. How could he do this to me.

"Baba till now... We are managing this situation right... I am alone at home all the time... And now when I am habitual to this and big enough to manage myself... Then what's the problem... And Sumitra Aunty is also there for me always", I said in a one go.

" Avni she can't be there for you always... Kal ko Vedant apni life mein settle ho jaega aur apni Maa ko apne saath le jaega tab...... Jab tum yha akele reh skti ho toh hostel mein bhi reh skti ho..... I don't want any argument over this now.. It's finall... Start packing your things you have to report in the college within two weeks" , said Baba in a cold tone.

Baba stood up and left.

I had tears in my eyes and I looked towards Aadi Bhaiya with hope... But he didn't say a word during the entire conversation and not even looked at me once.

I can't bear all this.... I stood up and ran up to my room.

Avni's POV

I cried my heart out.... Why me??
Why I can't have a normal life... A normal family... Why??

I heard a knock on my door... I knew who it was.

"Just leave Bhaiya.... I don't want to talk to you... I don't want to talk to anyone", I shouted from inside.

" Avni beta... Please open the door.. Just listen to me", said Bhaiya.

I stood up wiping my tears and opened the door.

"Avni beta meri baat sun... ", said Aadi Bhaiya coming in.

" Nhi bhaiyaa mujhe ab kuch nhi sunnaa.... Jab aapko bolna chahiye tha tab aapne kuch nhi kaha... Not even a single word... You were just sitting there quiet",I complained crying.

"Avni do you really think.... Maine Baba ko manane ka try nhi kiya hoga", said Bhaiya wiping my tears.

" Bhaiyaa... But mujhe nhi jana hostel ", I said.

" Avni you are not trying to understand Baba's situation .... Just don't be stubborn. I think as a father he has taken a right decision. He will be always worried about you being here alone.....aur Sumitra Aunty bhi kab tak tera dhyan rakhegi.I agree with his decision" , said Aadi Bhaiya and his words are really hurtful.

"Bhaiyaa aapko bhi lagta hai ki mujhe apne ghar maain nhi balki hostel main hona chahiye.... Aur rhi baat Sumitra Aunty ki toh aapne unse pucha hai ki unhe mujhse ya mera khayal rkhne main koi problem hain..... Main" I couldn't complete what I was saying as Aadi Bhaiya cut my words in between.

"Avni you are just 17 tum itni samajhdar nhi ho ki tum apne decisions khud le sako..... Get yourself a degree.. A good job and do whatever you wish to... But now stick to the decisions that have been taken for you.... Aur tum Sumitra Aunty ki responsibility nhi ho.... Wo bahut achi hai but hume unhe apni problems nahi deni chahiye, " Said Aadi Bhaiya caressing my back.

"Bhaiya Sumitra Aunty aayi thi Baba se baat krne ", I asked.

" Haa aayi thi Avni.... You should have not told all this to Vedant", said Aadi Bhaiya with a strict tone.

I just stayed quiet and lowered down my head. I know that I should have not asked Vedant to help me in this mess. It's my family matter but.... After all they are our family friends. And Baba would have given importance to Sumitra Aunty's opinion as he really respect her.

"It's okay Avni... But from now on be careful about it ", said Aadi Bhaiya patting my head.

" Bhaiya I am not ready to leave my house for 5 years.... My mumma's house", I said crying and hugged him.

"Avni bachaa tu apni preparation ke liye bhi toh 2 saal ghar se dur thi..... Beta yeh time bhi nikal jayegaa... And hostel is overall a very different experience.... Enjoy this time of your life....aur tu chahti thi na ki mumma ka ghar... Hmara ghar kabhi humse dur na ho... To yeh wish toh puri hogayi na..... Ab dekh ek baat Baba ne maani hai.... Ek tu maan le", said Aadi Bhaiya.

I break the hug and sit straight wiping my tears.

"Okay but you have to make one promise ", I said forwarding my hand.

" Kaisa promise ", asked Aadi Bhaiya smiling.

" You have to promise that in every vacation.... You have to be at home... Even just for a day ", I said.

" Avni you know that I can't make such a promise but..... I swear I'll try my best to be at home in your vacation even just for a day", said Aadi Bhaiya pulling me into a tight hug.

"Abb khush hai meri titli", said Aadi Bhaiya.

" Hmmm thoda thoda ", I said giggling.

" Acha toh ab ", said Aadi Bhaiya as he start tickling me.

" Hahaahaaa... Bhaiya bahut khush hu", I said dying with laughter.
