Healing Her Broken Heart✔

8

Same evening-

Avni returned home in a completely different way- lost in her own world
During dinner neela was talking to her but all she got in response was silence
She didnt ask anything further &after dinner when avni silently went to her room, neela straight away called up neil

*****

Neil's apartment-

Neil was busy in 1of his case files when his phone rang& he saw the caller id- it was neela maa
He smiled &picked the call

N-ji maa
Boliye

NM-sorry neil iss waqt tume disturb krri hu but its quite urgent

N-arre nahi nahi aapne bilkul disturb nhi kia
Par kya hua maa?
All ok??

NM- nahi neil
Avni bhot ajeeb behave karri h-itna khoya hua toh mene usse kabhi nahi dekha
Something is extremely serious
Plz kal tum usse baat kro

Do anything but plz usse uski chuppi ki wajah jaanne ki koshish karo
I know ke tumne pehle bhi try kia hoga but plz try again
Im extremely worried about her

N-relax maa
Aap bilkul tension mat lejiye
Men kal hi avni se baat karta hu

*****

Next evening, avni's office-

Office hours were over& avni was waiting for the cab to arrive when neil stopped near her in his car
He offered her a lift which she initially refused but after alot of pressurising from him, she finally agreed bcz he too was returning from hospital to his apartment

They reached the building, boarded the lift, reached their floor& neil behaved as if he was having a headache so avni invited him for coffee which he agreed
His plan worked &he got the chance to talk to her

Neil sat on the sofa while avni made the coffee
N- neela maa nahi dikh rahi?

A(while making coffee)- maa kuch kaam se baahar gyi h
Kal subah hi ayengi

N-oh
Ok

Flashback-

Neil called up neela maa in the afternoon

N-maa i have an idea but for that i need your help

NM- mujse jo ho sakega men krungi bas tum avni ki pareshani ki wajah pata karlo kisi tarah

N-toh suniye
Neil told her to make an excuse& leave the house for a day bcz avni might not be able to tell the reason as she doesnt wanna disturb anyone by sharing her problems
Neela agreed

Flashback over

Avni returned with coffee &after handing 1cup to neil, she sat on the sofa nearby

They started sipping on their mugs

A-neil i actually need a favour from you
Neil was surprised

N-avni, shayad tum bhool gyi ho that we are engaged &im your fiancée Tumhe mujse kuch bhi maangne ke liye permission ya request krne ki zarurat nahi h

A-neil kya tum hospital se 1week off le sakte ho?

N-yes
I can bcz pichle kuch dino se men itni saari conferences attend kari h& complicated surgeries bhi kari h toh they will most probably give me an off
But kyu?
Oh i get it- you also need a break after all
Kahi baahar chale?

A-nahi actually 2-3din baad meri ek foreign meeting h& i will be out for a whole week
Only i know ke mene ye ek mahina tumhare bina kese kata h
Khudko kaam men kitna bhi busy rakhu, par tumhari absence har waqt muje lonely feel karvati thi
