Chapter 22

They both were hugging each other tightly while Avni was snuggling in his chest as if inhaling his manly scent which always soothe her and makes her feel good, he was holding her tight as if trying to protect her in his embrace away from the cruel world which have spoiled her life with their poison. Avni held his arm which was caging her back and placed it on her waist while she cuddled more into him. He got confused with her action but understood it when she was making him trace her waist gently.

He at once understood that she was trying to rub the touches of Dayavanti's bodyguard through him. His eyes filled with tears and traced their way towards her hairs. She felt wetness in her hairs so she looked at him and saw him crying. She at once wiped his tears and cupped his face in order to know what's wrong with him.

Neil - Don't feel this Avni. ( crying ).

Avni understood that he got to know the reason behind her sudden action. She felt guilty for making him cry.

Avni - I am sorry.. ( guilty ).

Neil - You need not to be. Whatever happened is a past now you have to decide your present and future Avni. I know that this inner turmoil, these inner demons keeps on haunting you believe me it's very difficult for me and dad to watch you undergoing this torture everyday but give yourself some more time.

Avni cries.

Avni - I .I.....I... want....to.... ( fumbled )

Neil wipes her tears and held her hand, he embrace her in his arms and whispers sweet nothings in her ears. She felt good cos of his gesture. Neil kissed her hairs and was playing with her hairlocks in order to calm her down. This actually worked and she became normal.

Neil - ( still hugging her ) Now tell me what's wrong.

Avni - I sometime feel disgusted Neil. I know I was suffering from drug addiction in fact I am still suffering but I lost my everything due to my addictions.  Everything... ( teary eyes ).

Neil knew what she's referring to and it pierced his heart. Though she is trying to move on but these suppressed emotions are still haunting her which needed to be released before It's too late.

Neil - What do you mean by everything ? Huh ?

Avni - It's just ...

Neil breaks the hug and made her face him.

Neil - Tell me Avni, What do you mean by everything ?

Avni - Neil....I....I....lost..my .... ( fumbled ).

Neil - Virginity. ( teary eyes ).

Avni nods and looks down. Neil made her face him.

Neil - Listen to me very carefully, this virginity is not everything. The most important thing you lost in your addictions was your own self. You lost yourself in the lanes of those harmful addictions. Avni losing yourself is the biggest curse and now you are trying to find yourself, trust me soon you will get that inner peace that is missing from your life.

Avni - You know why I always used to hide my feelings from you ?

Neil - You should definitely tell me this.

Avni - Because I thought that you deserve someone better than me.

Neil - I don't deserve better, you know why ?

Avni nods negatively.

Neil - Because I have the best. ( smiles ).

Avni cups his face with her shivering hands.
