CHAPTER 10
Avni woke with a jerk, her eyes being moist. She was recalling what she just saw.
Neela came to her and sat beside her.
Neela: Kya hua baccha, tum thik ho na?
Avni(in her mind): If I tell everything to Maa right now, then she will definitely tell this to Neil too. I need to wait for some
Avni: Maa I need to go to Ayesha Maa...
Neela: Is everything all right Avni? Is something troubling you?
Avni: No Maa, everything is fine. Its just that I need to spend some time with Ayesha Maa.
Neela: Ok Beta, driver will drop you there. But please come home on time. Take care...
Avni went to Ayesha's grave
Neil came to Neela's house as he needed to talk to Avni for some important work. Neela told him that Avni has gone to the graveyard.
Neil understood Avni was in some trouble or confusion.
He went to the graveyard and saw Avni sitting there. He went near her and kept his hand on her shoulder
Avni turned behind and saw Neil. She thought it was dream and she turned away.
Neil: Avni, kya hua? Are you fine?
Avni: Tum sach mai yaha ho
Neil: What do you mean?
She tried to touch him. She realized she was not seeing any dream
Avni: Nothing. Tum yaha?
Neil: Haan, I came to meet Ayesha Maa
Avni: Accha thik hai, aaj main tumhe Maa se milvati hoon
Neil: My Pleasure
Avni: Maa, He is Neil- My best friend who has always supported me in every situation, who held my hand even in my toughest times
He is the one because of whom I got my Aman back and completed my revenge. If Neil wouldn't have been there with me, I would have never reached here...
Maa Neil ko apna aashirwaad dijiye ki voh apni zindagi mai hamesha khush rahe
Neil was having a proud smile on his face- feeling proud on himself and his wifey...
Avni: Neil has a very special place in my life and heart aur mai usse bahut py...
Neil was taken aback by her words. His moist eyes gazed Avni, asking her to continue.
Neil: What were you just saying?
Avni: No nothing, aisa kuch nahi hai
Neil: If there is anything in your heart then please share with me.
Avni tried to speak but her lips were trembling.
Avni remembered their forced marriage and thought that she can't force Neil further in this marriage...
Avni: Nahi Neil aisa kuch nahi hai. I want to spend some time with Ayesha Maa alone so please leave me alone for some time. I will talk to you later...
Neil agreed and assured Avni
Neil: Jo tum chaho. Take Care
He left from there in his car. As soon as Neil left from there, Avni bursted into tears.
Avni: Maa mujhe nahi pata yeh kaise hua, kyun hua, kab hua par mujhe Neil se pyaar ho gaya hai. I Love him Maa...
My heart always wants him by my side. I want to hold his hand forever. I want to accompany him throughout my life.
Par I can't forget the fact that I forced Neil into this marriage. He doesn't want this relationship.
Iss Dil Ka Kya Karun Maa, joh na Neil ko bhula paa raha hai, na use dukh dena chahta hai...
The tears were flowing continously. The lower part of her Saree has become wet due to her tears- which showed her pain and helpnessness.
Avni: Maa Please Help Me to tackle this situation. I don't know which way I should choose...
She saw the time and realized it was late evening. She went to home and saw Neela sitting on the sofa. She went near her and placed her head on her lap. Neela started carassing her hairs
Neela: Mujhe nahi pata tumhare Dil mai kya hain par phir bhi kehna chahungi-
If ever in life you have to choose one way out of two,
Then just close your eyes, sit silently and then decide what your heart actually wants...
Avni understood what she was talking about. She thanked Neela and went to her room.
She sat there silently and closed her eyes. All she could see was Neil. She realized what she has to do and smiled
Avni: Mujhe sahi raasta dikhane ke liye Thank You Maa. Mujhe pata chal gaya hai meri khushi Neil ke saath hi hai
Neela was watching her silently from behind. A smile curved her lips and she was proud of her daughter. She immediately ran to the sofa and sat there like before.
Avni came running to her.
Avni: Thank You Maa. I Love You
Neela: I Love You too Baccha.
Avni: Maa I need to go to Neil right now
Neela(acting innocent): But what happened?
Avni: Aapko pata chal jayega. I am going right now. Bye bye bye
Neela was extremely happy to see her daughter smiling in delight.
