Hey lovey readers.

"You still feel for me don't you?" He asked. "I can't deny the fact." She replied sighing deeply. "Actually I did until now. The song was just a way to convey the last things I felt." She continued. "Last things?" He asked again, teary eyed. His voice eas failing him. He still couldn't see her in this condition. "Yeah. 'Cause I have decided that I am not going to remember them anymore. Those things..maybe we weren't supposed to meet. Maybe whatever just happened-" She began but he cut her off. "Was a mistake? That's what you want to say?" He finished for her. She simply nodded. "That's not the thing Avni. I know you're upset with me. Whatever happened today wasn't-" "Supposed to happen? Why do you always stick to these words Neil?" She spat back. "Change something like you did with your life. You know say what? Whatever that happened today was good. 'Cause I finally know what you felt of me all those years." She said with an indifference in her voice. Both could feel anger rising up in her. The calmness her voice showed and created suddenly disappeared into thin air. "Those. Were. Not my words." He replied in his most calm voice. He knew if he lost his cool, things between them would turn up to be worse. "I know you feel I wanted to say them-" "Finally you got this thing in your mind then. How did this miracle happen?" She cut him this time. "Mi.. Mitali."He replied in a small voice. "Right. Husbands can't just ignore wife's advice." She said looking the other way. "Avni. Please." "How can you just go out with that." She paused. She wanted to say bitch but couldn't. "YOU know what I mean." She huffed. "You're angry with me na? Once I find it Avni, you'll see." He spoke politely. "What else is needed to be found? You found me, our son. There's no one else." She said rubbing her forehead trying to smooth the creases formed there. "Mom I can't sleep." Mowgli said while entering her room. He was too tired to even notice Neil. Avni just gestured him to remain calm for a while or Mowgli would know. She took her little one in her arms and made him rest. His head on her shoulder while the arms draped around protectively her neck. She put one hand on his head, caressing it, the other on his back. Neil was just admiring the mother-son duo. Why can't I form a bond like that with him?
He knew the answer. He was trying to snatch his mother from him. How could he love him then? Again, he had seen him shouting at Avni when she told that they had a son. He even slapped her for it. He was unaware that a pair of innocent eyes was watching his every move. How he was hitting his mother in front of him. He had regretted it so much. He wanted to apologise for it as well but then this stupid court drama happened. Now she fully hated him. The cut that had appeared on her face didn't vanish. It was still there making him die more in guilt. Finally his son slept and Avni spoke slowly "What?" "The reason you left." He spoke and turned away to go, not before saying a take-care.

As soon as he reached home, he called his lawyer. He spoke in a small voice. "Ye..yes sir" "HOW DARE YOU?" Neil bellowed. "I'm sorry. I won't do this again." He begged. "Yeah you won't. Cause I am no longer fighting this case. I take this case back. I don't want my son's custody." He said and cut the phone. There was no way he could speak to her wife's criminal. Wife? He didn't know which word to use. He went to his room and locked himself. He made a checklist of the events that happened.
She came back from Jail.
They had a party.
The perfect Family shoot.
Neela died.
Their consummation.
Funeral.
She left.
He recalled everything that happened between them. She came back, he tried to impress her. She was normal and happy at that time. Neil had cracked up so many jokes, she just couldn't stop laughing. Then the small party ge arranged. She was happy as well at that time. He rebuilded their bonds between them. The perfect family. She had feared at that time. He remembered her words clearly. I am afraid that these happiness will be snatched away from me. I never had them right? Neela died. The most painful event of her life. Vidyut killed her and he could do nothing. Then to normalise themselves they had their beautiful consummation night. She was without any stress at that time as well. Things turned bad the next day. Funeral. She was pretty scared that day. Even when just a cracker burst, she ran upto him with tears in her eyes that he was shot. She was very much nervous. When they hugged, when Neil was about to break apart, she didn't leave him. Something went wrong that day. And then she disappeared along with Mishti. When they checked, the grave, she didn't come. Then everything blurred. Only her post mortem report. Neil sighed. Isme aisa kuch nahi hai. But he had a gut feeling that something missed out. Grave. She didn't come. Something else did. What was that. Suddenly her brows began loosening. She sent a tape saying she was leaving. That's it. And related to dad. This is with surely Neela's death. But what?
But the mystery had slowly unravelled.
