If she hated him again?

Ghar?

Avni packed her bags silently, she was clearly mad at him. Neil was thinking that sometime or the other, she would talk to him herself. When she didn't, he tried, but Avni made no attempts to hide her annoyance. "Shall we go?" He asked making another try. "When you have decided it.." She scoffed and kept her bags in the car. "Moma, a new family." Mowgli said coming in her lap and laughing. She put a fake smile. She still wasn't used to touches. She knew Shweta. She wouldn't accept her wholeheartedly. Why was Neil failing to understand that? The ride for her was silent but Neil and Mowgli were having their father son talks, giggling over certain jokes. Neil stole some glances towards her to see.
Avni had made up her mind. The last time Shweta did this, she remained silent 'everytime. This time she wouldn't. It was about his son. She couldn't let anyone deny him his perfect family. They reached soon and Bebe and Prakash exploded in happiness to see their daughter in law. Shweta had a small smile plastered on her face. She goes again.
"Avni um nice to see you." She said. Avni said nothing. She knew how fine she actually was. "Let's go inside." Neil said grasping her hand tightly. He was going to touch her, talk to her, kiss her, whether or not she liked it. Avni was reluctant to go but he dragged her to their room.
Avni stopped at the entrance. The room had changed since her last visit. The last visit was pretty horrendous for her. She knew that even he could lose respect for women sometimes. Particularly her. She knew that even he could hit women sometimes. Particularly her. It was then when she actually realised that even he could slap her. The man whom she believed always respect her. Slapped her. It was so forcefull that she had fallen down and hit her head on the edge of the bed. His fingers had made a deep cut on the corner of her lips. The cut didn't vanish. So did the bruise on her head.
The decor had changed. The colour of the walls was neither her choice nor his. They hated dull colours on the walls. The curtains were deep blue they were almost black. She hated this room now. But then, she touched the cut on her lips. She reminisced the event on which this happened. His.. Engagement.
Neil knew exactly what she was thinking. Before he could speak or do anything, she spoke. "Who has designed this room?" Neil tensed. "I'm askinh you something." She said calmly. "Mi.. Mitali." He said in a small tone. She sighed deeply. This wasn't his Avni. Avni would always hide her disappointment in some way or the other. But she, she was making no attempts to do it. Then he remembered what she had said. I am going to be a very demanding girlfriend. This was the real Avni, jealous, wanting him, who would get upset at every mistake of him. "We'll change the decor. According to your choice." He suggested and she nodded. Neil cupped her face and ran his thumb over her cut. "I'm very sorry Avni. I don't know what got into me. I wouldn't even dream of hitting you. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." He said. "Take my pain away." She just said. She just wanted his support now. Neil went and placed his lips onto her lips, precisely over the cut and began sucking it. She winced in pain a few times. Neil then started kissing her while she gave a feeble response. Neil placed her on the bed gently. "Rest for a while. You need it. We have a big project in front of us." He said pointing to the room. "I hate it." She said casually. Boy! She became so open. Shweta came in and asked Neil to accompany her and he went not before giving a reassuring look to her. But Avni knew she couldn't be reassured. She got up and went to her room without getting noticed. She stood outside and listened to their conversation.
Neil you could have married Mitali and brought Mowgli. Mowgli would still have a family. You need to move on from Avni. Came Shweta's voice. Avni is going to stay here. She isn't going to go anywhere. Neil protested with rage in her voice. Neil you know it might hurt you but you have to listen. You need to believe illegitimates bring bad luck with them. Whenever she has been with you you have been sad. You were with Mitali. You were happy with her. I had seen it. She said loudly which was enough to break Avni from inside. Avni slid past the room but accidentally dropped a vase lying outside.
Neil was about to protest but the sudden shattering of the glass vase made him stop, the curtain moved, indicating someone was there. He went out to see who it was but shook apart seeing the retreating figure of Avni.
She had heard everything.
