Sometimes I really fell like how they keep themselves alive, I mean there should be a investigation on this topic.
I opened another shelf only to find few wrappers and  empty boxes.
Weren't these supposed to filled with something to eat.
Avni Avni hi hai, I shook my head with a smile, different hai..cut...no no don't go there Neil you really need to stop.i shook my head fiercely to get rid of thoughts that belonged to this certain Parikh.
I felt vibration in my pocket as I took out phone from my pocket.
Kevin work
The caller ID said

"Yes "

"Neil, how is Avni"

"Oh she is good", I replied he left barely an hour ago.

"Woh I needed to tell you that one of vidyut's godowns have been traced through that chip we got from provider".

"Oooh ,don't tell anyone , well meet Tomorrow". That was great

"Sure", he said, there was silence for a while when he said again, "take care of her neil she has alot at stake."
And the phone went dead.
She has alot at stake , what did he meant.

I again felt my phone vibrating,
DD ,it read.

"Yes DD"

"Sirji , everything is very confusing"

"Sidhe sidhe bolo DD"

"Sirji Avni ayesha, there is no lady by that name , I searched everywhere every record, no clue.
And sir the first 14 years of Avni Parikh is also very vague,no one can tell what is true or false"

"Ok DD, I knew it, I want all the files at my desk tomorrow."

"Yes sir Jai Hind sir, "
I disconnect the call, finally first call that I disconnected

Be cautious mr Khanna because you don't know what you might find inside

Her words came back to me hitting me like a wave
There is something far deeper than what Avni shows , her story has much twists and turns it's not as straight as everyone knows
And only one person can tell me about it
______
"There you go" , I passed cup of coffee to Avni and took place besides her on her mattress which she used as a bed.

"So,", I asked

"So",, was her reply, but this time I needed more than that

"You have got a really nasty wound on your forehead, I said with my eyes resting on her forehead but averted them  towards her lips when a small chuckle left her mouth and it sounded so beautiful so peaceful just like a swoosh of breeze right after a nasty hurricane

"Yeah thanks for mentioning so I can care more about the mark it is going to leave which will make Neela ma ask thousands of questions."

"Do you who they were, "I asked while my eyes still rested on her lips mesmerized by the manner they moved, like I have never seen anything so beautiful.

"No"

No, that's all left her lips and made my blood boil

A chuckle left my mouth probably because of the fact that she really thinks I am gonna believe her

"Again Avni, phir se you are lying, you know what I have had enough of these fake truths of yours."

I stood up abruptly causing my coffee to spill , but I couldn't care less

"Why can't you understand this simple god damm thing that it's no more about three of us , today he was at your house for your family, just imagine Avni what could have happened if Ri would have been in the house, just imagine if they attack Kevin, he has a freaking 5 year old at his house", I stopped and took a deep breath try to get my long lost calm

"Neil I w......"

"Enough Avni", I stopped her inbetween by gesture of my hand, "truth or nothing, cause believee that I have had enough of your lies."

"Ne.."

"Truth."

"Ok," she placed her cup on the table besides her mattress which was  wet due to my coffee which was still on floor

"The men who attacked were Vidyut and his men"

"Vidyut himself came to attack, " words left my mouth on their own accord

"Neil do you remember 123 calling me Avni ayesha," she said with a straight face and dead eyes but I knew that there was alot going on inside which she is too strong to not to show .

"I am Neela maa's adopted daughter," she left a heavy breath as if she was feeling suffocated since so long and she finally got a breath of fresh oxygen.

"Vidyut killed my parents , he wanted to kill me too but i eloped, Neela ma helped me change my life name and everything else through which he could have got his dirty hands on me
But now it really makes no difference , he is back and he recognises me."

Neil what have you done , for the first time in so long my inner conscious was yelling at me for scrapping her wound, she was Neela maa's adopted daughter and I thought..

She is an orphan

I sat besides her and I placed my hand across her shoulder just then her head came and slammed in my chest, even though there was no wetness on my shirt or in her eyes but I knew her well enough to know that she was crying in worst of the ways, in a way when there was no voice, no tears, no light, why because even I have cried this way for a very long time.
I knew that there was more to the story but that was all I needed to know rest was I guess too personal to share
