Avneil - One Shots

Broken

Neil won the case, he had Mowgli's custody.  But he wasn't happy.   His lawyer had completely destroyed Avni.   He call Avni a characterless, immoral, illegitimate person.  Why didn't he say anything before Avni disappeared.    He didn't know how he would find Avni, in which state.

Neil gave up, he couldn't find Avni anywhere.  He went to Sakoon House, he went to Ayesha Ma's grave, Nanno's house, the cliff, he even went to Avni's childhood home.  He told Tara and Sitara if they hear anything about Avni, to give him a call.   

He went home, only to find chaos,  Bebe and his mother were crying, his father in shock getting treated by a doctor along with Avni.  The doctor was doing the check up in one of the rooms, while Bebe and Shweta were cursing.  Mitali looked scared. 

"What's going on here?  Where's Mowgli?  What happened to Papa?"  asked Neil

"This is all our fault!" said Shweta

"Ma?" asked Neil

"Your Papa got a phone call from Avni, a few hours ago" started Shweta

"A few hours ago, why didn't anyone call me?" interrupted Neil.  

"Because your father didn't want you to know.  He wanted to help his daughter not destory her." stated Bebe

"Bebe, I am sorry.  What happened in court wasn't my fault.  I don't even why the lawyer went after Avni like that.  I didn't authorize that.  I was looking for Avni, to explain but I couldn't find her."

"You may have not authorized it but Mitali did.  Prakash found out from the lawyer that Mitali authorized him to go after Avni.  I had promised Avni that I would stand by her side as a shield but I never could because I always thought my Tillu could do no wrong.  I was wrong, I lost.  Now I have lost my son and my daughter in law is broken cause of you Tillu!" cried Bebe

"What do you mean Bebe?"

"I mean, that we found out why Avni hid 5 years ago.   When Neela ji was murdered, we made assumpations.   Five years ago, Neela ji was murdered by a drugged up Prakash.  Your Avni, hid herself from her family so her family could live in peace.   Vidyut drugged Prakash and got him to shoot at you, when Neela came in between and was shot.   Either way, Vidyut won and Neela died trying to protect you.  And what did we do, we cursed Avni, you divorced her, and took away her son.  And Mitali helped you destroy Avni.  Very good!"

"How?" Neil fell on the sofa in shock

"You forgot everything that Avni did: she saved your life not once but 3 times.  She was humilated by you multiple times and yet she always stayed by your side.   How many times did Mitali bring you back from Death?" asked Bebe as Shweta just cried.

"But Bebe-" said Mitali

"Don't ever call me Bebe.  You destroyed Avni cause you loved Neil.   You knew the truth.  Neil never loved you.  Instead of helping the situation, you got the lawyer to destroy Avni for your cause.  What did you think that Mowgli would appreciate you, would love you for destroying his mother."

"Bebe, I did what I had to do to win.  Avni was gonna win the case."

"Enough!  Mitali, you did wrong.  I was only marrying to prove to Avni that I was over her.  But what you did, not only destroyed her, it has destroyed our relationship.   I can't believe that you would even think of doing underhanded tricks to win.    I forgave you before cause I was angry at Avni but no longer.  If I can't trust you, how can I marry you.  As of now, I will not be associated with you.  You no longer my friend, and my fiancee."  

"Neil, just listen to me"

"Go away Mitali!" yelled Shweta.

Mitali left.  And Neil sat down with Shweta.  "What have I done?" whispered Neil
