Avni had no idea why was she called by Shweta. She didn't want to talk but Shweta insisted very politely that she did not have the mind to refuse. Avni had a fair idea about what Shweta was going to talk about. She did not want to hear it but yet again, her mind and heart were always in a war about everything.

"Avni beta I don't know where to start. I don't know how to apologize or thank you..." Shweta trailed off, carefully watching her face for any sort of expression. Neela was by her side too, watching Avni. She felt absolutely terrible to see how her daughter had turned out to be. It made her so angry at Neil. Everybody were sitting on some corners, just not on her sight but they were all hearing it all.

"Do you remember the last time we had a conversation like this four years back, Aunty?" Her reply had shaken everyone. She had talked after a long and then she addressed Shweta as Aunty which made Neil's last strings of hope to break immediately.

"That time, you told me you had accepted me for your son's happiness. I was so happy you could not even imagine. But then you never accepted me for who I was, you only did that because you loved your son. That was that. You were ready to get me out of his life because you loved your son. You never loved me. Nobody did. I was always replaced, I was always rejected. You hated me because I was illegitimate. My character was always questioned. I was always the villain. Nobody did love me. Nobody will. Because.. because I am illegitimate right? A bad omen.. I shouldn't have created an act of my death, I should've been really dead because that would have... would have made you all show atleast a tiny bit of love for me unlike the hatred towards my existence. And now.. now I really do hope I die during the delivery because that's the only way out for me. Death. I'm sorry but I can't take this anymore." Avni's voice shattered in the end as she stormed out of the room. Everybody present there were too stunned to utter a word.

Avni was painfully right. She was always questioned. She had been protecting herself but how long?

Avni sat on the bench outside the garden, taking in deep breaths to calm herself. She could not control anymore. Everything was coming back.

A hand on her shoulder broke her trance. Neela's eyes turned moist as she looked at her daughter. There was an emotion in her eyes that was unbearable. "Mera bacha." Neela whispered painfully, sitting next to her.

Avni broke down, burying her face in her hands, "Kyu yeh sab humesha mere saat hi hota hai ma? Kya mein itni buri ho?" Her voice was merely a whisper but loud enough to be felt.

"Avni now... Now..I'm rethinking every decision that I took for you. Did I make a bad decision in your life bacha?" Neela asked painfully. She felt really at fault, she was rethinking her decisions, about getting Avni married to Neil. She thought her daughter would be finally happy and safe. But no. Her life was welcomed with extra problems after the marriage and yet she forced her to stay with them.

Neil, who was hearing it all went numb. He knew he had broke all the promises he made it everyone. Neither could he keep her happy nor could he protect her.

"Nahi ma, problem kisi ko bhi nahi hai. Problem meri kismat ki hai. I'm the problem... " Avni said and sniffed as Neela nodded a no. Then suddenly she felt another hand on her head. She looked upto see that it was Ashish, looking at her, his face guilt stricken, eyes welled up.

"I'm sorry bacha.. I know I could never meet your expectations, I know I could never be the ----" He was interrupted by Avni who chuckled coldly. "Expectations?  I'm not mad or sad at you for abandoning me or never fulfilling your promises because nobody did. I just want to ask only this much .... If you can't bring happiness and peace to the child that you created, why bring her to this world?" Her question had again shook him to the core. "Why did you gave birth to me just so I could suffer? Why didn't you kill me the moment you got to know that I was alive? You literally threw me into the world for them to kill me."

"I was your superstar right? That's what you used to call me right? You had told me you could never bare tears in my eyes.... But you were the one who bought tears into my eyes mostly. I should've been dead, but you gave birth to me and then abandoned me like I was a fucking orphan. I don't want you to do anything for me anymore. Just consider Avni is dead." As she concluded Avni got up and walked inside, wiping her tears profusely.

Nobody could answer her because she was always the victim of the mistakes that was never hers.

I know it's short but I'm sick and lazy.. lately the leap track has been getting hold of me and I really do want someone to talk about but can't really find no one. So if anybody is interested let's continue on the comments since dm is restricted by the community.

Hope you all enjoyed it :))
