Hey all! Can't update soon because of eyesight problems. Hope you understand

He was still awake, thinking more and more.
The more he thought the more everything became blurred. His thoughts were broken by a phone call. Mitali. He remembered what sge had said. How could you move on so easily? Before taking each step how can you remove me completely? He was hesitant to pick it up. But he knew he had to or she'll assume and reprimand him for being with Avni. "Hello? Neil. I..I wanted to thank you. For coming you know. I was just wondering about it and realised that how difficult it had been for you." Neil just hummed. Why did I go? He was cursing himself. "Did you talk to her?" Came her voice again. "I know she was hurt badly. It clearly was visible." She continued. Oh great! Everyone figured that out but me. Was she right? Did I never truly love her? Did I never understand her? Although he knew that Mitali had now no such intentions brewing up inside her, he still felt uncomfortable talking to another woman about Avni. If he told yes, she would surely take this further. Instead he opted for a "No." Another lie. You are going to live in lies. When did you learn to lie. You hated those who lie. Now you. Yourself? "You should." She spoke politely. "How can I? She probably hates me now." He replied, sighing. Probably? Surely. "I don't know about that. Obviously she'll be thinking the words were yours." Even she does. "How? How can you say so?" He questioned. "Hey! It's not that I am accusing you." But Avni did. "Neil, it happens in family cases. The lawyers are compelled to say what their hirers provide them with. The information you give. And you know personal information like her being illegitimate. You can understand what I mean. The case was about your son's custody. Not her. Not you. And who else can provide such intense information about her. She thinks it's you. Anyone's first instinct would be this only. You can't blame her. It's your.. Leave it. But I felt bad for her. And somewhat guilty that I asked you. You should go now. I permit. Now or never?" Neil suddenly had deep respect for her. "Thank you Mitali. Yes. Now or never." For the first time he was happy to obey her. He cut the call, took his car keys and rushed to her home. He was approaching the main door but stopped dead listening to a sweet melody. It made him feel like sitting there all life long just listening to it. Not only the words were overwhelming, heartwarming but the emotions behind it was clear. Deep sorrows. And no one could sing better than his Avni. The Avni which was no longer his.
He peeked through her always open window to get a better view of her. She was sitting peacefully on a stool, one leg little above the other, supporting her guitar. Her fingers were strumming so effortlessly on the wires, it was as if, she could do it forver without getting tired. Like she was meant to do it. She had created such a peaceful environment around her that anyone would love to get lost in it. In this sweet pleasure. It seemed as if even the
Hmm..hmm.
Chhutteya na chutte muh se
Rang tera dolna
Ek tera baaju dooja
Mera koi mol na
Bol na mahi bol na
Was she considering herself nothing in front of him? He had no idea. But her words conveyed so. That he was everything to her. Everyone regarded her priceless. Some in the positive way, others in negative. Mostly negative.
Tere liye aayi main toh
Tere sang jaana
Dholna ve tere naal
Jindri bitavaan
Maybe she came back for him. Somewhere deep down it was his love that brought her back from any dangers, from any life threatening situations. She also wanted to go back with him. Spend her entire peaceful life ahead of her with him.
Kadi naiyo chhodna
Ishq di dor na
Saare chhad jaayen maahi
Tu na chhodna
Bolna mahi bolna
Bolna mahi bolna
She had begged him many a times not to break the ties. Not to leave her alone. But he left. Broke the ties with her. Saare chhad jaayen maahi. Everyone left her slowly. Now he did it. Her only hope. Now he was taking her son away. She was going to die for sure. Tu na chhodna. She begged for him to never leave her side. He even promised her. Promises are meant to be broken?
Tere sang hasna main
Tere sang rona
Tujhme hi rehna main
Tujhme hi khona
She only laughed when she was with him. When she was in her home with him. She lived for him, with him, and never without him.
Dil mein chhupa ke tujhe
Dil naiyo kholna
Marke bhi maahi tujhse
Munh na modna
She hid him in her heart. Never opened up except to him. She was ready to kill and to die for him. But one thing, she could never stay angry for a long time from him. This time something happened. Things reached to divorce.
Bol na maahi bol na.
She wanted him to speak for her. Did he?
Neil didn't realise when he got carried upto her room. She ended the song but her eyes remained closed. She bit her lip to control the tears threatening to fall down. Finally she did open them to see him standing in the same condition as her.
"You?" She asked softly. He was just dumbstruck.
