"Everything ready?" Ali asked, putting his hand on Neil's shoulder.
Neil nodded slowly.
"Mowgli's flight would be landing in some time." He informed, in order to divert his mind.
He hummed, clenching his fists. Ali was giving unnecessary information, rising his already risen temperature.
"Don't mind the judge's decision. He was a bit mental actually." He said, looking eagerly at him.
Neil nodded for the nth time.
"Just a few hours and Avni will find some real peace." He said, looking at her picture.
"Why aren't you saying something? Are you fine?" Ali asked.
"I SAID I'M FINE ALI." Neil yelled at him.
Ali looked offended.
"Well I'll just leave you to your thoughts then." He said and went outside.
He slammed the bedrest in frustration.
"Did I deserve to be in a situation like this?" He asked to Avni's picture.
"Kya kiya yaar? Ek pyaar hee to kiya tha tumse! Kya galti thi Avni meri? Kyu sazaa de rhi ho? Baar baar. Ek baar nahi baar baar chodke chali jaati ho. WHY? WAS IT MY MISTAKE TO LOVE YOU? I THINK IT WAS!" He yelled at the picture, aimlessly, as if those words would reach her through that way.
"You know what? Maybe you never cared for me. But after all this time, I still do. Always." He said, wiping his tears roughly.
He stared at a printed image, where he was sitting, with Avni perched on his shoulders. He torn the apart that consisted of a laughing Avni and threw the part thay contained him, tucking the piece in his pocket and got going outside, only to see the others shifting uncomfortably under his strong gaze.
"Let's go." He said, matching eyes with everyone but Mitali. Atleast one part of his brain was still stuck to the order his wife gave... It was a coincidence that how after 'gave' the next word that came to his mind was her 'grave'.
None of them replied.
"Why aren't you replying?" Neil asked, a bit loudly.
No replies again. They were scared of his triggered anger.
"So it's just me now who's got to fight? Yeah maybe. Why did I ever expect to expect help from you guys? Why would any of you support us?" He sniggered.
"We want to fight for Avni-" Mitali said and stopped. Mentioning her name wasn't anyone's agenda, it always, made him swear, and go mad.
"Let me get this straight Neil. Me and Kia, our kids are here in India. We need to ensure they're safe, whether or not they're the target for Dayawanti." Akash said sternly, hoping that was convincing, when it was not.
"Back off then. That's what you want to say?" Neil asked.
Akash remained quiet, he took his action as a yes.
"Why wait? Get out now." Neil said, taking deep breaths.
Kia muffled a sob, she didn't want Neil to make a wrong impression of them.
"You're not in your mind." Akash said simply. It was true. But he denied.
"YES I AM! BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET TO LOSE YOUR WIFE AND YOUR CHILD! I DO! TRY PUTTING YOURSELF IN MY PLACE AND HOW WOULD YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'RE ONLY SUPPORT BACKS OFF AT THE LAST MOMENT!" Neil roared.
Kia had to step between them to stop Neil from pouncing on Akash.
"We're leaving." Kia almost begged, crying.
"Boys.." Riya said, looking at them. They were breaking apart slowly. And this was the last thing they needed.
"My own son is coming." Neil spoke.
"Then you're irresponsible. You can't manage to lose more of your lot." Akash spoke rudely.
"Because I couldn't save her? Yeah maybe I am! But I don't need you to tell me that! Avni loved me this way!" Neil yelled, touching his forehead with the nearby pillar.
Ali and the others took him to the place where they would murder Daya.
It took almost an hour to reach.
No one spoke during the ride. Ali informed that Mowgli had landed.
The place looked strangely familiar. Just the sort of place, like Rang Mahal. Where they thought they destroyed her. Alas, they didn't.
Neil readied his gun and went inside precautiously.
Just the sight of Dayawanti ignited the fire in his heart. He went straight to shoot her but her dialogue and her action stopped her.
"Before you proceed..." She spoke harshly and showed up.
There was a defiant scream from Neil.
"Leave him!" He roared and looked at Mowgli held in her custody, with a gun at his head.
Precap:
Neil it's her who had to end this. We can't change anything. Mitali said, stopping a crying Neil.Ek aur cliffhanger..
Pls stick to this story..You'll know why
