What We Wanted Vs What We Got

Daag

The other day i came across an article in the newspaper which left me shocked
And i couldnt resist myself from sharing it with you
As you will read on,you will get to know the topic
The ending im gonna write is different from that of the newspaper

*****

AvNeil were childhood bffs- born& brought up in a small town- more similar to a village& the only children of their respective family
They had just started their job life

Their fathers ashish &prakash were also friends &owned a field each &had employed farmers to take care of their crops whiles their wives ayesha& shweta used to work as cooks in the house of sarpanch
Dayawanti &harleen were the mothers of ashish &prakash

The2 families werent well to do but earned enough to run an easy lifestyle
They were always praised for their humbleness towards their farmers

Neil was very handsome
Many hands for marriage had come to khanna house but bebe rejected all bcz she knew that his tillu has always loved only 1 girl- his avni

Avni too, was very beautiful- not just by her looks but also by heart

Boys on the streets used to drool over avni& her body
There were many but most common was a group of 5- they belonged to wealthy families &were jobless or as you can say- spoilt brats
They just used to roam in the streets

Teasing young girls-wheather of school, college or working- age didnt matter to them &it was their daily drama but avni never paid attention
One of them straight away went to avni's house- to ask ashish for avni's hand in marriage

Avni, who was in the kitchen with ayesha, widened her eyes in shock on seeing the same guy but her tension was removed when ashish refused- he had found the perfect groom for his daughter in neil but he didnt mention his name in front of vidyut

Yes, the boy was none other than vidyut-grandson of village's sarpanch

This refusal didnt go well with vidyut- he couldnt digest the fact that someone had rejected him, despite knowing the advantage they would get if he agrees for the marriage

With his friends, he decided to keep an eye on mehta family &slowly they got to know about their friendship with khanna family
They also got to know that the families were planning for AvNeil wedding

Vidyut got hell jelous of neil& decided to teach him a lesson

*****

On a random day, when neil was returning from office-

The same group of boys blocked neil's way
He tried to walk from their side but the boys were on bikes& surrounded neil completely
When he protested, something happened that nobody wanted- they got off their bikes& beat neil terribly &left, not before giving him a warning to stay away from avni
Though neil was injured, he had understood 1thing- that avni's life is in danger
The evil smirk on vidyut's face didnt go unnoticed by neil

When avni got to know of neil's injury, she felt damn guilty but neil didnt let her be in that state for long

Avni was blankly staring at neil's injuries
Her heart pierced on seeing him like this that too, bcz of her
Guilt was stabbing her heart from inside

N-jaan
I will be ok baba- dont worry(sincere voice)

A-how shouldnt i worry?
You got injured- all bcz of me
I should leave this town& go to ketan chacha's house

N-dare you think of going anywhere
And what do you think?
Boys over there would be saints?
No jaan- such people are present everywhere
He cupped her cheeks& pecked her forehead
