avneil-thru all odds

chapter 32

Don't u all think I am early???

I should probably start delaying my updates what say??🤗🙄😒

But it's ok abhi update Kar deti hu next thoda late karungi...
But Uske pehle last response was such heart warming and thanks to all the comments that I was adorning a smile throughout the day, I am really happy

He started to respond but most of the time he used to stay sad. His mom would never have liked that . I too was sad until one day when bebe came and told me to stay strong and get him back.

I was not knowing how to make that happen. And finally my drama ki factory came with her antics and ideas which were horrible for me. To name a few were- me eating junk foods, playing play stations, teasing, doing mischiefs..ln short usko lana tha isiliye mein bhi usi ke tarah ban gaya. that time it didn't mattered whether I was willing to do or not.
Cause it was for my friend....na sorry frenemy.
And we all tried together and at least for us he was back to normal.(Avni smiled)

He started to live life for his parents, our parents, for bebe and I would have hated back then not now but yes majorly for me.
( She just smiled and adored his face)

Though we both were sensitive but our reactions to feelings were different. I would usually get irritated, yell, frown, fight but he kept it to him only . For outside world he would be happy go lucky boy but every night I used see that dull face. He thought that I was in sleep but I was witnessing him breaking down.
(She patted his back)

Those tear strained pillows were also witnessed by mom as well. She had asked me if I wanted to help Arjun? I was instantly ready and she advised me to be his best friend whom he can share everything. We were poles apart but then I also didn't wanted to loose him so instead I thought to hug him as tight as possible rather than loose him.

The next night also was going as per routine but then all of sudden I woke up and sat beside him. He was shocked would be obvious. Mom and dad were staring from far .(tears formed in Avni's eyes)

And we spoke probably for first time we spoke heart to heart. I still think how we ended up that night.
( She just gave him tera Kuch nhi ho sakta look)

Slowly we became good friends, I used to share my problems and he too used to open up.

Soon we grew and joined medical studies. He fell in love for a girl . He shared it with me and I supported him even if I had a second mind to the thing. The relationship went on not so smooth but they sustained it until Arjun conveyed her about his plan to start his own life with her. She didn't wanted to get married. He thought she needs time so he didn't pressurised her. There were very few people whom he trusted. But once he trusted them then there was no question of doubting.

She was a gold digger and when she knew that he is adopted and he had willingly rejected our properties and wealth she got mad. She wanted him to accept it but he didn't. She wanted to get rid of him and thus created such a situation where he lost all his respect,confidence, mind everything.

He was accused of rape. His innocence was exploited, he never trusted people but when he gave her his already so worn heart she tained it in such a way that he went into darkness.
(Avni closed her eyes as this was too much with an innocent soul like him)

Since 5 years , he is in mental assylum being treated.she destroyed him , my friend was no more that cheerful person. That was the reason I started to stay away from girls. I was back to that Neil who hadn't met Arjun. Everyday I think that at least he will be ok now but it seems that this time it was too late .

Was he wrong in getting love with a girl? Were we wrong in encouraging him? Was he wrong if he decided he wanted to be independent? Our small world shattered. My mom was shattered again. She has no strength to meet him.(all the while Avni was nodding in no for his grievance)

Everytime I go to meet him ,his innocent eyes only convey one thing- why him always? And I have no answer to it!.

I am a renowned doctor who saves people but I couldn't save my brother from this. This states me as a failure.
(She shakes her head in no)

She was the one very happy with his gappu! And still today we try to show each other that we are happy but deep inside we don't have strength to face each other and speak about him.

My happy family is no longer a happy one. Ali , me and him were buddies in college. We were partners in crime. But alas everything just dwelt on house of cards which shattered by one blow of wind.

He was upset, probably crying as well but he was no longer sobbing. It happens with everyone that after reaching a certain point u get used to that pain and most importantly what u feel can't even be expressed by those tears let alone words a different story.

Avni too was somewhere near that situation but didn't reached that level . She was trying to decode what others didn't even bothered about. Obviously that's the beauty of their bond. Na Kuch kum, na Kuch jyaada.

She breathed and squeezed his hand as if assuring him that she is there with him.

Neil just composed himself and looked at her.

Neil-( cheerfully) so this was the reason why I m not like u want me to be. Happy now !!! Let's get back it's late and tomorrow u have early shift.

Avni-are doctor sahaab ab tak aap hi to bol rhe the, let me speak as well.

Neil- kal....

Avni- no right now, u just now removed bandages from ur wounds and now u are asking me to leave it open. I am sure u are not at all a good doctor (sarcastically) . But I am so let me apply at least antiseptic so that it would start healing. Wounds take time to heal but thru care they can be healed.

Neil-don't u think u r speaking too much( raising his eyebrows)

Avni- well I was like this only. Anyways what's important is , I am happy that u shared ur story with me. I now totally consider ur behaviour valid but I would like to highlight one thing as for now.

Neil- kya?

Avni- as u only said that arjun's dad wanted him or rather u all wanted him to be the same cheerful self.( Neil nods) then even here if Arjun gets well and he gets to know about ur behaviour he won't be happy. ( Neil looks away as if somewhere he knew this) I know it's hard , but now we both will try as now I want to meet that Neil. Just imagine me irritating my frenemy........( Neil looks shocked) ohhh......m sooo gonna enjoy it.

Neil- hey u can't!( Pouting)

Avni-,y can't I ?( Raising her shoulders)

Neil- u can't..... that all!!!

Avni- no I can in every regards cause we are frenemies!!! Just wait and watch mr.sadu.oh...arjun I wish , I met u earlier.

Neil- hellll no....!!( Dramatically) u both at a time........? I would have been in hospital at the ward as a pateint...
Now come let's sleep.

Both got back to their respective rooms to sleep. Both were feeling relaxed whereas Avni was thinking upon something.

Avni's pov
He was that sweet? Who would believe that ? I was so shocked. I am feeling so happy that Arjun was there with Ali and Neil. He has suffered a lot, I can't change that but I can make two friends back again. Come on Avni u too are doctor and also done some studies in psychology, when will that come to use?..... I promise u Arjun that u will be soon back to normal and happy. I am really blessed and glad that Neil has shared his and ur relation with me . He has trusted me that much to make me his frenemy! I hope I do help him out!!!!.

Soon sleep took over
And next update in next chappy.....
