shifting fates: betrayal,deceits

phir bhi tumko chahunga

In a dark room sat a person with violin in his hand. Humming a tune with closed eyes. Listeners would surely have a bittersweet experience hearing it out.

The serene look on his face can say that even though he is not at ease but is now at rest.

Neil-mere aasman ko zameen mil gyi.......(gets lost in flashback)
It was just the day when DD and Ali met with avni.

Everyone were tensed yet pretending to be happy.

Somewhere Avni was feeling guilty and unsure of her decision which she had taken. Ali too after a huge mellow drama calmed himself and started to persuade her to get her treatment done.

Karan to had arrived and was just pretending that Avni wasn't in the room and he was speaking to Aryan and others.

A teardrop slipped from Neil's eyes, which he quickly wiped away. Avni did noticed it and excused herself saying that she has an important call.

Karan was speaking about the development and supposed procedure for the next 6 months.

Every one was listening as if some life changing news. The procedure was let's say a long way to overcome but the most safe way.

She had made up her mind and here all are looking for ways.

Karan had asked the renowned dr Anderson about the opinion who recommended the course of action. Just the thing left was to convince Avni.

All of them steadied themselves to make her agree but Neil didn't uttered a word. DD silently sat beside him to give him the silent support which he needed the most.

He was just thinking about a way that can help her change her decision and inturn was helpless for any solution.

He gathered himself and went towards Avni only to be shocked at the sight where now she was talking with his scrap that her family. He knew that she was not ready for it and it was the last thing she wanted but his pleading forced her to even ruin her image infront of her family.

He waited for the call to end , once done he charged at her.

Neil-problem kya hai ha tumhari?  Kyu call kia unko? Aur kitna hurt karogi khudko aur unko? Treatment nhi karvani phir kyu unko call kia?

Avni-(breaking the grip) kyunki ab mujhe koi bharosa nhi hai khud par. Kitne din tak rahungi , kya hoga kya nhi aur isme mein tumhe tadpa nhi sakti. Ye safar mere akele ka hai aur isme tum aa gye. Ye jo ansu hai na tumhare...bade pareshan karte hai. Din raat mujhe aur bhi khokla kar rhe hai. Meri kahani ab khatam ho gyi hai Neil par tumhari to baki hai na?kyu mein ek aur paap karu?

Neil- to mat karo?(cupping her face) mat karo kuch bhi.....bas reh jao mere saath mere paas bina koi ateet ke bojh ke.

Slowly Avni started to walk backward while Neil desperately tried to hold her.

Avni-Nhi Neil!!(not meeting his eyes) agar ab zinda reh gyi to kuch aur hi ho jayega..

Neil had it enough and left from the place.

DD and Karan too saw the scene and went towards Neil to speak with him.

Karan-I know ki hum jyaada nhi jante but Neil tumhe dekh ke lagta hai ki tum use apne paas se jaane nhi doge but vo ab rukegi nhi lekin...

Dd-lekin (looking at Neil) agar kuch aise ho jaye ki unki sabse important cheez ko kuch ho jaye tab to vo manegi.

Neil-aur vo kya important cheez hai.

Both karan and DD looked at each other and finally spoke..

Neil was not ready for that but ultimately he agreed as that was only the option.
