Hello dear and wonderful people of the india forums avneil community, I'm Shreya. I only started watching Naamkaran after the leap and i have to admit that i fell in love with Avneil within a number of weeks and now... im obsessed. I've previously written stories on Suhani si ek ladki. But i have noticed the amazing communites and friends and families you have created in this fanbase and i am so eager to be part of it. I have been reading all your stories for a while and ive loved them all but i havent been able to comment because of school. Now im on holidays so ive decided to comment on all your beautiful work. I would love to write a full length ff of avneil but first i nesd to come up with a concrete idea. So instead, i've decided to post a few one shots to give you guys a taster of my writing. I really really hope you enjoy this one shot, and its not too long or boring. And please ignore my very bad hindi, actually i do not live in India. Please please please let me know what you think and comment xxx

Avni stands under the scalding hot shower, almost pleading for the boiling water to incinerate her, to leave her as a pile of ashen grey, so she is no longer a burden.
So she is no longer a burden to a best friend that dedicated his life to her. A best friend whose admiring glances and unnecessary savouring of hugs weren't missed unnoticed but she knew she could never reciprocate. She hated hurting Ali.
So she is no longer a burden on her mother, her Neela ma that she was tied to by selfless sacrificing love rather than biology, dna or blood. The mother who she troubled, who she ruined the life of yet she her neela ma still never, ever, beared a complaint. She didnt want to hurt her.
Her nanno, bebe, shweta aunty, prakash papa... she didnt want to hurt them. Her Neil.
Her Neil. Her saviour, her safety, her warmth. The arms that shielded her from every danger, and those melted chocolate eyes that spoke to her heart. How could she ruin his life over her revenge? She didnt want it. She couldn't hurt him. No.
She snapped her head round suddenly as something shot through her heart, she couldnt be sure but she sensed it. She saw a shadow dart across the shower glass.
Avni- Neil? Neil bhahar tum hai kya [Is it you outside?] Neil?(she called out with fear clinching her muscles together)
No one replied.
She jumped out of the shower in a hurry, wrapping the towel around her shivering body. She scrambled to change into a simple saree, looking around warily in worry. She feels unsafe and she instinctively called out...
Avni- Neil? Neil please yaha aana [come here please]... (there were breaks of fear in her voice.)
She tiptoed out of the bathroom to find a pitch black room, she felt those eyes again... that ominous feel.
She snapped on the light, panting incontrollably.
She opened the door, and looked down the corridoor seeing a glow of light from another room. Neil's study.
Avni- Neil... (she sighed and smiled with relief)
...
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Neil frowned at the case files in front of him while typing away on his computer, rubbing his neck in an attempt to ease his stress. A void of silence filled the room. He looked up at the clock, it was 11 pm. He sighed.
He was used to the jingle of the anklets that adorned her feet. Her laugh that varied from a pretty tinkering giggle to adorable hideous snorts. Her constant bicker that couldnt help but bring a smirk to his face. The room felt empty without all these things. Without her.
Like the way that yesterday... he was trying to read davavanti's case files while puzzling over what on earth to do while avni paced around the room frantically. She folded away the clothes that neil had strewn across the room, sighing and huffing. He noticed her push away the silky strands of her hair that covered her face while her expressions changed animatedly. 'Neil yeh tum kyu karthi hu? [why do you do this?]' 'Neil if these clothes arent washed they will make you itch right?' 'Neil ek chota bacche hai tu? Buddho [are you a small child? Fool.}' He smirked at her care but his head throbbed, overwhelmed by the work. But obviously he just had to make a snarky arrogant remark about how avni was the 'classic wifey, nag...nag... nag' to which he got a pillow to the face as a reply as she rolled on the floor in laughter. But when her expression changed as she saw him hold his head in a headache, and how she rushed over to him with endless questions about his work load. And how she insisted on massaging his head while he worked despite the millions of times he refused. He love- lo-... He really really really liked that about her.
Ugh... He couldn't sleep without that chatter surrounding him now. Nobody was there to run their smooth fingertips across his aching head. She would be asleep and he didnt want to wake her up. 'I guess im staying up then,' he thought. Ugh...
...
She started sprinting down the corridoor, her eyes glassy in desperacy to just feel the safety and warmth in Neil's eyes to relieve her fear.
Brush
She looked around with wide eyes of horror and a shaky gasp, tears swimming to the surface of her eyes with the feeling of being invaded, as fingers brush around her bare waistline.
Avni- (she tried to sound brave.) Kyon hai?! Jho bhi hai... tumhara shakal abhi abhi dikhawo mujhe... (she faltered in fear.) Ya dharpok hai tum!? [Who is it? Whoever it is... show me your face now... Or are you a coward!?]
...
Neil spun his head around in sudden worry. He could swear he heard her voice, pitched in fear. He tensed up as he stood.
...
She carried on running toward the light in Neil's study, heavily breathing in terror.
Grip
Somebody suddenly grabbed her by the waist, making her wriggle and squirm.
Avni- Chodo mujhe! Chodo! Chodo please! [Leave me! Leave me! Leave me please] (She helplessly yelled out in tears)
...
'Chodo please!' Her yell rung in Neil's ears as he rushed out with a worried frown and already watering eyes, protective anger surging through his veins as adrenaline.
The rest of the family stirred in their beds.
...
Swish
The blood rushed to her head in shock and fear. Like the world crumbled to pieces around her, leaving her in the rubble... alone, scared and violated.
Somebody pinned her to the wall and even in the dark she could feel those eyes gawking at her. They held her upper arm, inches from skimming her body.
Avni- Neil, neil bacchao mujhe [save me] please... please... mujhe meri neil chaiyye [I want my Neil]... mujhe meri neil ke paas jaane do [let me go to my Neil] please (Tears streaked her face as she felt a humid breath across her exposed collar bone and clammy fingers nearing her.) Please neil!
Suddenly, a hand had rubbed up her inner thigh brashly and stroked forcefully along her breasts.
She froze in unexplainable fear.
Avni- Neil! (She let out a deafening shrill screech of horror as she fell down to the ground, pushing the hand away. The person ran from the scene.)
She broke down in to wails of fear and agony and panted with breathlessness.
...
Shweta and prakash and bebe all sprung straight in beds and got out in a rush to see what was causing all the commotion.
...
For a second Neil could swear his heart stopped as that scream sounded. His eyes turned bloodshot and swelled with tears as his head pounded and heart raced and the worst most nightmarish scenarios rushed through his mind.
He switched on the lights for the corridoor.
His heart was horrified by the sight, it tore his soul away from his body, and he, the manliest officer on the face of the earth, choked back tears as he sprinted to his avni.
She looked as if the life in her eyes had died as the broken tears streaked down her tremoring body. Neil kneeled down next to her shaking her slightly.
Neil- Avni... mujhe dekho [look at me]... baby please (baby left his shivering mouth automatically, through his tears.)
He heard the footsteps of his family stop behind him.
The family frowned at her in worry. She was looking in to space in shock, but grabbed Neil's arm in a panic.
Prakash- ananya... kya hua... hum ko batao [what happened... tell us] bacchu... (He cowered down and watched her with teary eyes of concern.)
Avni- Neil ko bulawo... mujhe neil ko milna hai [Call Neil... I want to see Neil] ... please... mujhe baccha lo neil [Save me Neil] (she muttered still lost in fear, Neil shut his eyes with furrowed eyebrows to hold back the pain he felt at her state.)
Neil- mein yaha hi hu [I am here] Avn- ananya... tumhara neil yahi pe hu, dekho mujhe [Your Neil is here, look at me] please... (he spoke with a broken desperate whisper. He pushed the dishevelled hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear with shaking fingers.)
At his touch she finally broke out of her traumatic trance and looked at him.
She leaped into his arms.
He embraced her tightly, his arms perfectly looping around the curves of her figure as if the were made to fit there. She sobbed against his shirt, soiling through it completely. He rested his chin on her head, shutting his pained eyes as he rocked her gently.
Bebe had to smile a little at their love, somebody other than juhi had definitely stolen his heart.
Neil- aisa roh na mat... mujhe maaf karo please, mein tumara paas nahi tha na? Mein tumare paas hona chaiyye tha... [don't cry like this... forgive me please, I wasn't wth you right? I should have been with you...}
Avni- nahi Neil t-t-tu- tum ku-k-kuch nah-nahi kiy-iya... [you didn't do anything] (she stammed through her cries.)
Neil- please batao na? Kya hua? [say na? what happened]
Avni- nahi neil mujhe nahi bata sakta... please mujhe chood ke maat jana-[no neil I cant say... please don't leave me and go] (she hyperventilated with scared eyes.)
Neil- kyu itni dhar raha hu? (He softly stroked her hair soothingly.) mein kahi nahi jaungua tumhe chood kar... batao mujhe [why are you so scared? I wont go anywhere leaving you... tell me]
Avni- nahi... nahi, nahi... nahi bata sakta mein... please mujhe yaha se leke jao, w-w-wo wapas ay-ayenga. (Neil frowned in concern and possesiveness radiated off him.) Nahi... please neil... mujhe dhar lag raha hai, wo wapas ayenga... please! (She wept bitterly.) [no...no,no... I can't tell... please take me from here, he'll come back. No neil, im scared, he'll come back... please!]
Neil- Khon!? Kisi ko himat tha tum ko choot pauchane ka?! [who? Who dared to hurt you?] (He stiffened up in rage, his eyes turning red.)
Avni- i dont- dont- k-k-know...mujhe yaha se jaane hai neil please [I want to go from here Neil]
Neil- abhi abhi bolo... Usne kya kiya tumare saath!? (His each breath visibly pained him- as anger boiled in his veins. He gripped to her tightly, as if refusing to let her go away from him...) [tell me now, what did he do with you?]
Avni- w-w-wo mujh- nahi... nahi neil mujhe yeh nahi bhol payenga... [He... no Neil I wont be able to say all this]
Bebe- Bolo beta... dharo mat, mein jaanthe hai ki neil tujhe kuch nahi hone dooga [say dear, don't be scared, I know Neil will not let anything happen to you.] (neil nods and grabs on to Avni's hand comfortingly, sending her strength.)
Avni- (She shut her eyes as she was too shamed to look anyone in the eyes, her voice held immense vulnerability and she spoke in a fearful child's voice which broke his heart.) W-w-wo mujh-mujhe... neil... w-o mujhe ch-ch-ch-chua (she weeped sorely.) [He... he- he touched me]
Neil couldnt react for a few seconds, furious rage thundered through his body like a storm as his body shook and his fists clenched. The family gasped in shock and horror. He rose up with bloodshot eyes, and incontrollable anger.
Neil- wo tujhe chua!? Wo meri avni ko chua?! (his family were too shocked to even notice Neil's slip-up of names.) Wo meri biwi ki issat churani ki koshish kiya?! Mein usse zinda nahi choodunga! Maar doonge mein usse! (He yelled out in rage.) [he touched you!? He touched my avni!? He tried to steal my wifes respect!? I wont let him leave alive! I'll kill him!]
He started storming off to find the man who hurt HIS avni. Who touched HIS WIFE. He growled furiously, almost like a wild animal. Bebe rushed to her ladli bahu and held her crying form, trying to console her nurturingly.
Avni- Neil?! ... Mujhe chood ki jha rahi hu na? (She called out with a small heart aching voice, causing him to stop in his tracks with tears in his eyes.) Mein jhanthi thi... why would you want me? Ab mein gandi hu na? (Her eyes were round and glassy, imploring like a puppy and broken like glass, her lips wobbling like a child.) [Neil?! Are you leaving me and going? I knew it... why would you want me? I'm dirty now right]
Neil ran to her frowning, kneeling in front of her, still shaking with possesive anger. He grabbed her face in his hands lovingly and wiped away at her tears with his thumbs.
Neil- Are you mad!? Tum mujhe kya samaj thi hu? Log kuch bhi khe, kooe kuch bhi khare... tu meri hu. Mein tumhe kabhi nahi choodunga... kabhi nahi... Samji?! (They stare into each other's eyes intensely, the pain in their darkened orbs absorbing the emotions of each other's breaking hearts.) [what do you understand me as? Whatever people say, whatever whoever does... you are mine. I will never leave you... ever... understand?!]
Bebe- Mein uske saath hu beta... tu jaake us ghatiya aadmi ko dhoondo... jao [I am with her dear... you go and find that filthy man]
He nodded, the anger returning to tense his muscles. He starts to get up but looks back as he feel a tug on his arm. Avni had pulled on this arm, looking feeble and broken, and scared.
Avni- Neil please jaana mat... mujhe dhar lagta hai tumara bina, wo wapas ayenga mujhe padakenga a-a-a-a-ur mujj-jhe, wo mujhe- (Neil silenced her with his finger, and burning eyes.)
Neil- Mein tumhe kuch nahi hone doonga, mein usse tumara itni si kareeb nahi ane doonga. (He gritted his teeth in anger, flaming with with every laboured breath. He sighed sadly staring in to her shattered eyes.) What has happened to you avni?
Shweta- Avni? What avni? Who avni?
Neil- sawal sab baad mein please maa! (He sounded exasperaterad so everyone left it.) Avni you can't let that stupid man change you... You are my avni... the one with that determination dancing in her eyes... you are my avni...(He savoured each and every one of her features admiringly.) my undefeatable fighter right? Please aisa mat roh, yeh mujhe dekh nai paraha hai... (he kisses her forehead as his tears dropped on to her hair.)
Again everybody felt somebody dart past and searched around. Avni grabbed Neil in fear and he shhed gently in attempt to calm her.
Neil- sab teek hai, i promise... mein jaake dekthi hu... (her eyes looked reluctant but she loosened her grip.)
He stormed off again, rolling up his sleeves and seething in rage. Avni shivered incontrollably, and prakash leaned down and sat next to her with hurt eyes, allowing her to rest on to him, as he gave her the support she never got from her father.
Avni- p-p-papa...meri galthi thi na? Im sorry. Mujhe yeh sab hone se rokh ne chaiye tha.mein iss ghar mein nahi aana chaiye tha... mein aap sab ko jh-
Prakash- shhh... beta, what nonsense are you saying! What will neil feel hearing you say all this? Police wala hai wo, day in and day out he meets girls treated with such disrespect. Aur uske biwi sochta hai ki yeh sab uski galati hai? How will he feel?
'Tu meri avni ki saath badtaamizi ki?!Meri avni ki saath!?' They all heard this roar from down in the corridoor and deafening hits and punches and growls persue. Avni tried to stand up in concern for Neil but shweta, bebe and prakash all sat her back, struggling against her forceful push.
Bebe- shaant hoga ananya beta... Neil will handle it...
Avni- mein aap sab ko dhoka kar rahi hu... mujhe maaf keijiye... me-mein ananya nahi hu, mein avni hu, mein- m-mein avni ayesha (She cried wallowing in guilt. The three looked at each other cluelessly but just comforted avni, choosing not to say anything.)
Prakash- teek hai beta... its okay an- avni beta, shh its okay (Avni tried to smile gratefully but had to shut her eyes as waves of nausea rushed over her.)
...
Neil held him up against the wall by his neck, all his protective anger exerted on to the strength of his grip. He shook in furiousity, every vein was prominent in his blood red crying eyes. The random man already felt the fury of Neil's wrath, the evidence of that being his bleeding nose, bruised eye and yellowing stomach.
Neil- tumare himmat kaisi hui!? KAISI HUI!?huh?! Kyu kiya yeh sab??! You bloody bas***d!
Man- mujhe yeh sab karne ke liye bola tha...
Neil- KAUN!? KAUN BOLA THA!? (His blood boiled as he guessed who had ordered this.)
Man- Dayawanti Mehta. (Neil shut his eyes as he sighed heavily as his worst dreams came true.) Aur tera biwi kitni sexy hai... mein kaisa manna karthi? Mmm...
SLAP
That five fingered bright red mark on the side of the now unconcious man's face and Neil's burning glare showed his possesive rage and so did the way Neil screamed and growled so loud that it could be heard down the corridoor and probably by the neighbours.. of the next street.
...
Avni eyes struggled to stay open as dizziness circled through her mind, with flashes of bad memories of horrifying touches and skin curling stares.
Prakash- beta... Beta ... (He pattered avni's cheeks worriedly, as she threatens to float in to unconciousness.)
Bebe- oi bahu! kyu statue banke dekh rahi hu! Paani le!
Shweta rushes off, but stops as she sees Neil. Neil stands looking battered, bleeding profusely from his lips and carresing his torn head.
Shweta- Tillu beta! (She strokes his injuries in panic.) Kya hua?
Neil- DD uske lekhe gaya hai... station mai
Bebe- Par hum wo nahi poch rahi tha.. tujhe kya hua beta? dekha hai tera haal
Avni's vision was blurred but she heard the voices clearly, and she repeatedly blinked trying desperately to see what had happened to Neil, frowning in concern.
Avni- Neil... (Her speak was slow and broken through fatigue and faintness.) neil.. tum teek ho? N- (She felt the words choke in her throat. Her eyes start to roll backward and she's about to flop in to Prakash's hands as Neil runs to her.)
Neil- Avni! (Neil wraps his arms her frail body with horrified eyes as she faints. He shakes her helplessly with tears blooming in his eyes.) avni utto please, avni aanke kol do... avni, mere liye please ...
Shweta returned with a glass of water, and bebe sprinkled it on avni's face, she stayed unresponsive causing neil to look up at bebe in question with breaking eyes. She tried to nod reassuringly.
Bebe- Utenge wo tillu... wo bohot gehre sadme mein hai na beta?
She tries again and luckily, her eyes fluttered as they slowly opened.
Avni- (her eyes were extremely heavy and her voice drowsy.) Neil... (she weakly reached up and stroked his face lovingly.)
Neil- (He grabbed on to the hand she had rested on to his face desperately as if making sure she stays with him.) Avni, wo chala gaya, wo wapas nahi ayenga abhi... kabhi nahi ayenga wo... okay?
She weakly smiled before her eyes just started shutting again, he looked up at his family in a panic.
Neil- Avni aisa mat jao... please avni aisa... (he runs his hands through her hair desperately. Somewhere the fear of losing her like juhi overtaking his mind even though his rational mind knew it wasnt like that.)
Bebe- Nahi tillu, wo teek hai... (she sits nexts to a crying Neil and kisses his hair comfortingly.) Wo bus sonae ki koshish kar rahi hu... wo thag gayi honege , wo thoot gayi honege neil... uske sahara banke rehena tumare zimmadari hai beta... okay? (He nodded meekly, wiping away at his sticky tears.)
He lifted her into his arms as he walks back through the corridoor. Her head rested against his racing heart, and her half-asleep self could feel the beat singing her to sleep. She clung to his shirt and nuzzled her nose into his chest, almost like an animal's display of affection. And he wanted to grin and he would have if his heart hadnt been so tattered.
...
Prakash, Bebe and shweta all looked at each other and Neil dissapearing off through the corridoor, beads of tears trailing down their face.
Shweta- whats this avni drama now? (Her face made that usual warped confused face she does.)
Bebe- (Her severe voice was broken with emotion.) This is not the time for all of this pagli...
Shweta- I knows i knows... (Even she looked somberly to the floor, in genuine sadness.)
Prakash- wo ananya ho ya avni ho... wo hamari bahu hai aur yeh sab kya hai hum phir janenge... par ab hum uske raksha karne chaiye... usko kabhi akele maisoos nahi karne chaiye... Uski naam kuch bhi ho... wo humara tillu ki pyaar hai, aur hamare bacche. (His eyes welled with tears, as he shut his saddened eyes.)
...
Neil gently placed her on to his bed, wincing as he feels that he has hit her here and there, and it seemed to hurt him more than it hurt her. Avni yawned adorably, her eyes closing drowsily. Neil sits beside her, holding her hand caringly, smiling slightly at her cuteness.
Avni- tu bhi sau jao neil...
Neil- (He strokes her hair softly, slowly lulling her to sleep.) Haan haan, ek minute, relax avni...
Avni frowns childishly with her eyes closed making Neil smirk.
Avni- Nahi neil... sleep now... tujhe kal subha subha station mai jaana hai aur tujhe early utne padega, aur nashta sab-
Neil- Teek hai teek hai meri maa (He sighed jokingly making her grin, still with shut eyes.)
Avni- haan haan okay... dissmissed.
Neil- Why thank you madam. (They laughed heartily, able to forget their pain for a second.)
Avni- Kuch bhi... (She giggles and Neil smiles as he continues to stroke her silky hair as her breathing slowly settles.)
He considers going to bed, but then is unable to bring himself to do so, he was terrified to leave her hand as if his precious possesion would be snatched away from him. She was already gently snoring, and he scanned over her body with those police interrogative eyes.
He spots a scratch running along her milky stomach and has to brace his teeth not to yell out in rage and laceration. She was his. His to care for, his to admire, his to touch... his-... to love. He skims his fingers over her wound, with eyes that spilt concern filled tears. Avni arched into his touch, frowning in longing in her sleep because even not in her senses she knew his touch felt right.
He rushed to stand up and gets a first aid box. He opens it and rummages around, taking out supplies. He soaks cotton in antiseptic and slowly rubs at her injuries, squeeing his eyes shut as if unable to watch, as each touch pricked at his heart... but she laid perfectly still, undisturbed.
He bandaged her up, and leaned back in his seat. He placed an innocent kiss against her hand he gripped on to with saddened eyes, while the other of his hands were still knotted in her hair. He sat stiffly straight as he watched her with concern, often looking around the room in a certain crippling fear.
...
Avni stretched as the morning dawn sprinkled light upon her face, after a night of treacherous nightmares that were somehow calmed down. She tried to raise her arms when she felt a pressure against them and turned around to see what it was.
Neil- Oh avni... tu utt gaya? Good morning (He stretched the biggest smile he could manage, praying with each segment of his soul that she had somehow miraculously forgotten everything that had happened yesterday, even though he couldn't, while still holding on to her hand from last night, rubbing his eyes.)
Avni looked at Neil's drooping shoulders, black baggy, blood red eyes that struggled to stay open and wobbling smile and shockingly realises he cant have had a blink of sleep all last night. She gasped in suprise and immediately straightened up in concern.
Avni- Neil pagal hogaya kya? You didnt sleep?
Neil- (repeatedly shook his head no with adorably wide eyes.) No no no... i had an extremely peaceful sleep (he smiled awkwardly.)
Avni- Jhoota! Jhoota! (She grabbed his ear teasingly, biting her full lips and immediately drawing Neil's attention to them.)
Neil- Nahi! Sacchi avni... i just woke up early..
Avni- (she raised her perfectly shaped eyebrow at him in suspicion.) Sacchi?
Neil- Ha-
Bebe- Jhoot bolne ke liye zoi zarowath nahi hai tillu bacche! Mein sab kuch dekh liya... (She apperared at the door like magic, making the couple jump.)
Avni just looked at Neil with her those wide eyes that even managed to intimidate a very 'brave' police man like him.
Neil- (He stuttered with an embarresed fake smile.) Kya dekha aap? Kuch nahi tha dekh lene kiye...
Bebe- the person who sees decides whether there was anything worth seeing right? (Neil looked terrified.) I enjoyed it very much... tu uske dekh pahl kar rahi thi, bandage wandage sab kuch. Phir tu ukse baal ke saath khel liya, uske pyaar ki saath raksha kiya as if tujhe dhar lag rahi tha.. Tujhe need nahi aa raha tha... aur (She winked teasingly.) mein dekha ki kisi tarah tu uske haath mein ek bada wala kissy dedhiya tha... tumhe bohot romantic wala hubby mil gaya bahu, aur tillu meri nazar se kuch nahi chupenga samaji?
Both Avni and Neil had turned bright pink, flushed in absolute embarresment, they refused to look at each other even. Which turned out to be a bad idea as they both tried to stand and flee the place but tumbled over each other. Neil grabbed avni by the waist with a instictive yell of 'Avni sambhal ke!' as avni also said 'Neil, you'll hurt yourself...' just before they could crash to the floor. They share an intense eyelock, lost in each others eyes. Neil smiles subconciously, enchanted by the way the long eyelashes that framed her twinkling eyes, fluttered gently in surprise.
Bebe smiled cheekily as she admired their care and concern for one another. Avni leans up to Neil's ear, and her lips accidently brush on his lobe making shivers run down his spine. He is aware of the way her hot breath tickles his skin.
Avni- kyu kiya yeh sab tu buddho!? Ab dekh... we will not hear the end of this... (she whispers in playful anger.)
Neil- kya?! Mein tujhe itni achi si parva kiya, or mujhe thank you keyne ki bajai tum meri saath gussa hu wifey!? (He said this like a cute child.)
Avni lost her smile as last nights memories flooded her mind, but she remembed how Neil had cared for her, stayed by her side, did everything she could of ever asked from a husband. A tiny smile graced her face as tears slowly streaked down it.
Avni- thank you Neil... (she mumbled through her shivering lips.)
Neil- Hey hey hey... its okay... dont cry... (he frowned as he wiped away at her tears affectionately.)
Bebe left with a huge grin stretching across her face at their love. Neil straightens her up and look in to her eyes with a force so strong in his eyes that it had avni questioning what it could be.
Neil- Avni kal raath... (Her teary eyes watched his eyes squeeze shut as if it pained him to say this.) kal raath bohot bura hua, aur sab meri gathi thi aur- please... mujhe maaf keyjiye (He placed her hands in a praying position, with a pleading voice, she shook her head no and pulled his hands down.) Aur mein jaanthi hu... yeh dayawanti Mehta ki drama sab katam karke tum... tum- (She is shocked to see tears bloom in his eyes.) Jaunge mujhe chood kar aur humare beech kuch nahi hoga...par... par mein ek vada deyna chathi hu ki... chaiye kuch bhi ho, chaiye hum ek dusre ki na dekho ya tum mujhe nafrat karo, kuch bhi. Mein yaha hu tumare liye humesha, tumare parva karne ke liye, tumhe raksha karne ke liye. Mein kabhi tumhe kuch kami maisoos nahi karne dooga, na dosti ki kami ya... p-pyaar ki kami.
Tu bohot seh chuka hai avni, bus, ab nahi. Teek hai? (Avni's eyes were wide with bewilderment and her eyes cried tears of admiration and guilt. She didnt deserve this. She didn't deserve that look in his eye or that warmth in his touch.)
Avni- Oh Neil... (She hugged him tightly, clinging to him and dissovling in to tears, that also flowed down his face.) Mein kis accha kaam kiya is tarah ki aadmi milne ke liye. (Neil sniffled cutely and scrubbed at his face and forced himself to lighten up and smile in order to cheer his avni up.)
Neil- Tum ko mujhe MILA? Look avni I'm not property or anything yaar... (He made an adorable hurt face.)
Avni- aree baba I didn't mean anything like that (She pouted cutely back up at him.)
Neil- Oh... acha, ab mein samja... (He neared her with a cheeky smirk that already set her heart racing, he coiled his skilled fingers around her bare waist and yanked her toward him. He was pleasurably aware of her chest heaving against him through nervousness at his touch. He noticed her plush pink lips were parted open.)
Avni- Kya samja tu ne? (Her voice was a barely audible whisper, lost due to be being utterly flustered.)
Neil- tu mujhe tumare property bana ya hai kyu ki you want to own me na? Tera julaam jaisi... tum ko humesha yeh tay karne chathe hai ki mein kya karunga na? (His devilshly handsome smirk and deep husky voice drove her insane, stole her breath and left her voice stuck in her throat.) Phir teek hai... (He seductively slowly nuzzled his nose in the sensitive spot in the nook of her neck, immediatley making her knees go weak as she lets out a gasp that awakened a monster in him. ) bolo na... mein kya karu aapki saath meri malik?... (he gracefully tucks her hair behind her ear and brings it around her other shoulder, exposing her bare backed blouse, sending unbearable tingles down her body.)
Avni- Neil yeh sab...
Her panting whisper made him lose all controll, watching the way she bit juicy lips, drawning him nearer. She was already hypnotised by his touch and the enchantment in his eyes, making her helpless to her desire.
Neil brought his lips closer to her and kissed her forehead softly making her eyes shut in its emotion, a single tear leaving her eye. He then gently planted a sweet kiss on the tear that strolled down her cheek, lovingly soothing her heart. Somehow even this lustful side of him was still so very loving and respectful, it felt so right. He admired her with a smirk but she didnt not feel even a tiny bit of that sense that somebody was feasting their eyes on her body like a meal.
Ali fumed from his ears like a cartoon character. He stood in the doorway with a bright red face and shaking in rage at their closeness. Bebe had informed Neela what had happened last night, and he rushed right over as soon as a broken Neela told him the news. 'Well she doesnt look very hurt.' ... he thought bitterly. 'This Neil is manipulating my Avni. I can tell.'
Neil caressed her back and held her against him, looking down at her through her hair and relishing in every part of her. Avni's eyes were closed, letting herself bathe in his warmth and touch. Neil was about to link his lips with hers when-
Ali- NEIL STOP! (Ali stormed in to the room and pryed Avni away from Neil and gripped on to her tightly, she looked shocked and uncomfortable in his grip.) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!
Neil- Ali i didnt me-
Ali- YOU MONSTER. (He let go of avni and stepped toward Neil with destructive rage in his eyes.) How is what you are doing any different to that man that tried to touch avni?! How can you be so shameless avni?! (Neil stiffened in anger hearing an accusation against his wife.) And you Neil?! You disgusing animal! YOU BLOODY RAPIST!
Avni- ALI! (Her scream was hurt, disgusted and furious. She raised her hand to slap him around the face.)
Neil grabbed her arm before she could hit Ali but his eyes were glassy in hurt. Avni looked at Neil with wide fiery eyes but he shook his head no, trying to reassure her that he wasnt hurt by the degoratory comments... when he was. Ali was green with evny seeing them able to communicate without words.
Avni smiled admiringly at Neil and then turned her head and shook it slowly at ali in shame and disgust.
Avni- Aisa hota hai saccha aadmi Ali, Neil jaise. (Neil's mouth gaped in surprise.) Tuhne kya kuch nahi kaha abhi Neil ko? Par wo phir bhi kuch nahi kahunga... wo kabhi kuch galat nahi karunga, chaiye kuch bhi ho. Mera poilce wala humesha saachai ki saath doonga. (She held Neil's hand proudly.) Par tu? Mein socha tha ki tu mera dost ho... mein socha tha ki tu Neil ki dost hu... but i guess tu aaj mujhe galat sahbit kiya ali...
Tu jhanti hu? Kal... kal ek aadmi mujhe... mu-jhe chua. Wo mera fiyda utanke ki koshish ki- wo... par Ali...
Yeh aadmi. Yeh mera pati Neil Khanna... Mujhe ek paal bhi akele nahi maisoos karne diya, ek pal bhi wo mera saath nahi chooda aur ek saas ke liye bhi mujhe sochne ne diya ki us aadmi ki harkaat mera galati hosakta hai. Not even for a heartbeat. But you? You misunderstood that Neil tried to take advantage of me? And you asked me- ali today you proved that... that if you were in Neil's place yesterday you would ask me how could i be so shameless? Tera nazaroon mein meri galati hoga? Itni neechi soch ali?
Neil- (He holds her by the shoulders soothingly and gently strokes her back.) Avni, bus hogaya... kal yaad karke aise kudh ko pareshaan mat karo. (He muttered this only to her, avoiding eye contact with Ali.)
Avni- (She laughed bitterly while tears rolled down her face.) Dekha Ali? Tu kya bola tha iss aadmi ki baare mein? Bloody ra- (she shut her eyes as if it disgusted her.) Meri zingadi mein bohot kam acche mard ko mila hai, mera aapna papa bhi khaiyar nikala! But Neil... mein sirph inke bahoon mei sukhoon aur suraksha milta hai (Neil smiled slightly in surprise, his eyes glazing over seeing her raw eyes.) Kyunki mein dekh chuka hu Ali, ke kis hak tak jaa saktha hai wo mere liya khushiya laane ke liye. I am indebted to him ali, i betrayed him yet he is ready to fight for me. I yell at him and im ungrateful but still he always respects me. Par tu... tu aaj dikaya ki mujhe kya kiymat aur issat hai tera nazaroon mei. Par ab aur nahi! Tu agar mera Neil ki baare mein kuch bhi galat bola mujhe bardash nahi ho payenga! And Im warning you ali... if Neil hadnt stopped me today you would have seen a different side to me. Just go! (Ali was flabbergasted that the avni he knew all his life spoke to him like this.) Get lost! (She screamed in tears.) Mujhe tere shakal nahi dekha chaata!
A humiliated Ali ran out with his fists curled in furiousity. Neil held the shaking avni by her arms and sat her down softly, sighing at her state.
Neil- Areey avni, yeh sab keyne ke liye zarowath nahi tha...
Avni- (still fired up by the incident.) Suna nahi wo kya keh rahi thi aap ke baare mein?! Kyu mujhe usko ek tapad maarne se rok diya?
Neil- (running his fingers through her hair like she was a crying child.) Phir bhi-
Avni- Nahi Neil. Ab mujhe inke baare mei kuch nahi sun na nahi hai. Disscussion over. (She crossed her arms over her chest like a cute adamant child. Neil kept quiet like the obediant husband he is, slightly smiling at her protectiveness over him.)
...
Neil casually and comfortably had his arm around Avni's side as they walked toward the police station. Avni looked childishly frustrated as he laughed at her cute face.
Avni- kyu laa rahi hai mujhe yaha Neil? Is it bring your wifey to work day or something? (She muttered this without thinking.)
Neil- (he gasped jokingly in shock, raising his eyebrows teasingly.) Oh ho ho! So you are calling yourself wifey now? Are you just trying to claim me as yours before those super attractive lady officers start hitting on me huh?
Avni- (she scrunched up her nose adorably in jealousy.) Shut up pagal (She punched his playfully in the arm.)
Neil- Ow! (He acted as if it was very painful funnily, making her giggle which obviously made him smile.)
They reached the inside of the police station and he led her somewhere with his hand on the small of her back.
Avni- Abhi bolenga Mr super cop, kyu mujhe laaye hai yaha?
Neil- arrey calm down a minute baba, dekh issilye laya hu mein yaha. (The man from yesterday stood infront of them, handcuffed to the jail door.)
Avni's smile dissapeared and the blood running through her veins chilled in fear. Her body forgot how to function, her eyes widened and filled with tears as she shook incontrollably. Neil held her hand supportively, frowning at her tears.
Neil- Yeh saab ek bigger plan tha avni... d-
Avni- Davawanti mehta ka... (she whispered this knowingly but looked broken beyond repair, hurting his heart.) Kyu laya hu mujhe yaha Neil? (She cried quietly unable to even look at the man. She cowered behind Neil as if he was a shield.) Mujhe iski paas nahi aana chatha...
Neil- Nahi avni, abhi bus hogaya yeh rona dhona aur yeh kamzoori. Tu meri Avni hu. Meri Avni Ayesha Khanna. Aasu poonch lo aur dikhawo is ghatiya insaan ko ki meri biwi kis mitti se banaya hai! (She looked at him weakly in question and he nodded at her reassuringly.)
She sniffled her tears back up, and rubbed them away with the back of her hand, the fire returning to her eyes. She rushed in front of the man, staring at him so fiercely it scared the man, Neil still held her hand.
Avni- Mein bohot khaiyar se mil chuka hu mere zindigi main tho its fine dude... your probably arent worst. In fact aaj tujhe is haal mein dekh ke, i feel bad for you... because its so sad man... tujhe ek ladki bhi nahi hai aapko dil se pyaar karne ke liye ya parva karne ke liye so tujhe yeh sab ghatiya harkat karne pad rahi hai. I'm also pitying your parents, they wasted their life's work to pay your school fees and then you turned out to be so bloody uneducated?! Shame...
I think i solved the issue here. Tum ko kabhi ek ladki ki issat ya okath nahi samaj payi... kyu? Puch kyu?! Kyunki humari okath tumare se itni jyaada lamba hai ki tujhe wo dekh nahi payenga na? Aw baba maaf keyije hum logo ko... (SLAP! she left her a blood red handmark across his left cheek as he winced in pain.) Wo yaad rakha phir se ek ladki ki issat churani ki koshini karne ke pehle teek hai? Aur yeh (SLAP! A crimson red shape was stamped on to his other cheek this time.) Mera pati ko marne ke liye.
DD grinned as he uncuffed the totally embarassed man from the jail door and dragged him back in to his cell, Neil smiled proudly at his wife, falling in love with awe at her strength and determination all over again. He turned her toward him and gently caressed her face.
Neil- See avni? I knew that hot fighter inside of you wasnt lost. Kya sabak sikahaya tuhne usko!? Waaah! (He made the okay sign at her, winking teasingly and making her pink.)
Avni- Ho-
Neil- Wo chodo (he rushed speaking nervously. He then caressed her fac, staring in to her eyes intensely.) Avni, im talking seriously now okay? I dont want to see you in that weak broken state ever again, fine? I hate seeing you like that. Tu itni strong hu avni? Kitni brave? Tujhe kisi ki bhi zarowath nahi hai, siprh tumare dil ka wo aag chaiye... (he smiled admiringly, his eyes slightly watery.) Tujhe poora duniya ko aag laga saktha hai...(Avni shook her head as she cried in her guilt of loving someone who she could never deserve, her heart took over and decided something.)
Avni- Wrong Neil. (She slowly wrapped her tired arms around his neck, pulling him closer.) Mujhe ek insaan ko bohot zarowath hai... (he raised her eyebrows at her in question.) Tumhe Neil... Haan i agree. Shayaad mujhe bohot takat hai, shayad bohot himat wali hai mein. Par tu mujhe meri shakti ki eshaas dilane ki madat diya, tu mere haath pakad ke mujhe takat diya... tu meri aanko mein dekh kar mujhe wo himat dediya... (Her lips wobbled with weeps as she slowly wiped away Neil's tears gently.) Haan Neil, tu sahi sun raha hai. Mujhe nahi jaantha ki tu mujhe pyaar karte ho ya nahi. Par aaj tu ek dil chura liya hai Neil, wo insaan ki dil jo pyaar ki vishwaas nahi hai, Avni ayesha khanna ki dil. Haan Neil... I need you... (She broke out in to tears at her sudden out burst, Neil's eyes spilt tears non stop but he tried to hide it gripping to her waist.) I love you so much Neil... (She hugged him desperately.)
Neil- Avni... (cries choked his words.) Kaisi mera dil tadap rahi tha yeh sun ne ke liye... I didnt even realise it myself. Mein tujhe bohot bohot pyaar karthi hu Avni, itni jyaada pyaar ki tujhe wo samaj nahi pawunga (he held her face and kissed her hair lovingly.)
Avni- (She hit his chest playfully, with a huge smile.) Haan haan haan tera pyaar kitni gehra hai, sab kuch samja mein. Itni cheesy hone ke liye koi zarowath nahi hai teek hai?
Neil- Arey mein kuch aacha bolne ke liye koshish kar rahi thi? You wont allow that either wifey?
Avni- Hey shut up! Yeh bolo... mujhe ek savaal hai...
Neil- haan teek hai bolo phir Ms ajooba?
Avni- hmm... agar yeh dayawanti ki karikrum sab katam hogaya aur hum pyaar confess nahi kartha hoga aur meri jaane ki waqt aa chuka tha... then what would you have done?
Neil- Oi madam i wouldnt even let a time like that arrive, in the middle of the night I myself would let Dayawanti escape so that you will stay with me longer... (He smirked naughtily.)
Avni- (She shook her head at him in bewilderment.) Hey bhagwaan! If you act so mad everybody will run away from you Neil...
Neil- Eh whatever (he pulls her even closer so much so that there is barely any space them. He bumps his forehead against hers cutely.) I have you right? I dont care whether i have anybody else...
Avni smiled up at him shyly, feeling like her heart might explode. She leaned up and planted a sweet peck against his cheek making him grin. She then placed her head against his chest and shut her eyes, listentening to his heart. They both stood there, loving each other, becoming each others strength, courage and reason.
