" Stop it."
Savitri turned in shock to hear those words from her daughter." Rhea....."
" No mom. That's enough. We have done enough cruelty towards her. Being in her house we treated her lower than a maid. The one who was supposed to be like the princess of this house lived like a slave. Despite being harsh and injustice to her she helped me out of the trap which I fell due to my foolishness. She had already warned me but me being your daughter thought that it's due to her jealousy towards me. My eyes were blinded by your upbringing. My senses were corrupted. But not anymore. I have had the realization now. I have no rights to be her sister. I asked her for forgiveness. She was ready to call me sister despite what We did to her. Mom ask her for forgiveness. She has helped us till date. "
Rhea had tears in her eyes whereas Savitri was confused at Rhea's action.
" My dear what has happened? Why are you speaking for her ?" Savitri asked her.
" Mom don't ask me anything but I can tell you something. Don't speak anything against my sister. She is an angel who could light up the darkness and spreads happiness in place of sadness . She spreads love in place of hatred . We have been devilish towards her but still she loved us. We failed to see her goodness. From today onwards we will be care takers of this house. We need to work hard to give her back what we have taken from her." Rhea was stopped when Avni held her hands .
Rhea looked at Avni were Avni nodded her head in negation. Avni places her hand on Rhea's cheek and smiled at her.
'You are my sister so what is need of living here as a care taker. Live here as my sister and family itself. This is your house. You and your parents care here as my family when my parents were called for eternal peace. If you weren't there how will I be living here and in my house alone.' Avni conveyed her.
" Avni all these times I never really bothered to understand what you are telling. But now I really want to know what you are telling. I really feel ashamed of myself that you were living here with me and I don't understand you. "
Meanwhile Savitri nodded her head and left inside the house.
Avni took out her book and paper and wrote the same.
Rhea read it and immediately hugged Avni.
"Thank you my dear sister. Thank you so much. " Rhea told Avni while caressing her hair.
Avni patted on her back.
Rhea broke from hug.
" Your Neil sir has been waiting for you for long. Don't make him wait for long. Go back to your happiness." Rhea teasingly told her.
With the mention of Neil Avni's smile on face disappeared. Rhea was confused at her sudden change .
" Avni is everything fine dear. What happened all of a sudden?"
Avni forced a smile on her face and shrugged her shoulders telling nothing is wrong.
' I can't tell her that I'm scared of Neil sir. Me myself is confused about him. He is carrying gun. How can a professor carry a gun?' Avni thought
"Bye dear."
Rhea hugged her once again .
Avni hesitantly walked towards Neil's car.
" Avni let's go "
Avni sat in passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt up.
Neil looked at her and saw her scared face.
' Avni I know you are scared after what happened there. I will make everything right my dear. I will bring back your long lost sound. I will make you smile at me. This is my promise.' Neil told himself in mind.
