Part 2
-NEIL-
Neil was finally happy to be done with the difficult part. That is making Juhi understand that even if they were in love 5 years ago, even if her death inspired him to become a police officer and reform DD, he doesn't love her anymore. What they had was in the past now. His present, his future is Avni now. He told her how her death changed everything in his life, how he was a broken man until an equally broken Avni came into his life and how she changed his life. He told her about their first meeting, about their fights, how they got married, how they defeated Dayawanti Mehta, and in the process how he gradually fell in love with Avni. He told her everything because it was important for her to know the extent of his love for Avni.
He apologized to her for not loving her anymore, but what could he do? He had held her body when she died, he had sobbed, cursed god for doing this to her.He really thought she had died. Never in his dreams had he thought that she would be alive and in some problem. He told her how he thought he would never fall in love again after her death. But he did. Even though he resisted it for quite a long time, but he did fall hard for Avni. Now his future is with Avni. And Juhi being this genuinely nice person that she was, she understood. Even though it was hard for her, but she did understand. She said she is going away from Mumbai, to find herself as this place will always remind her of the hell she has lived in for past 5 years.
And he let her go because his heart did not belong to her anymore. His heart belonged to an extremely brave girl who crashed into his life and made it worth living for.His Avni. He had decided that he would confess his love for her when he will get her out of this hell hole. He couldn't wait even a second without confessing.
He looked here and there in his search for his wife to no avail as Avni was not there. As he was asking about Avni to DD, Shinde came to him and said that Avni left and that she was crying when she was leaving. His heart started beating faster. He was confused as to why she left when everyone including Bebe, Neela Maa, Mom, and Dad are here. He tried calling her mobile number to no avail. He went to his home in search of her only to find all her belongings missing.There was a letter on their vanity written by Avni which said she has left his life as she wants him to be happy and she knows now with whom he can be happy. She wished him luck for starting his life again with Juhi and asked him to take care of Neela Maa and everyone.
Neil has been angry on Avni before, but what he was feeling now would not be explained in words. He knew Avni was reckless and takes wrong decisions sometimes but there is a limit to everything.She cannot always be the one to make decisions on their relationship. He called his police station and asked Raj, the IT guy to track Avni's cellphone.Neil raged and raged while Raj worked on tracking his stupid wife. After few seconds he got to know that Avni is at the CST Railway station in the midst of boarding a train. He broke all the traffic rules and reached the railway station in a matter of minutes.
From there he went to the railway announcer as he knew he won't be able to find her in this much crowd. There he did one thing he thought he would never do in his life, he took advantage of his position in police and got the announcer to ask Avni Ayesha Khanna to come to the railway office as there is some emergency.The announcement went on continuously, and sure enough, after few minutes, Avni showed up at the office. She stiffened when she saw Neil standing in the office, staring at her furiously, studying her every move. He reminded her of a hunter stalking his ultimate prey(her). He thanked the announcer profusely and took Avni's arm and her bag and dragged her through the station to his car.
There he made her sit on the seat, put on her seatbelt and closed the door with such force that her ears were ringing. All through the car ride to their apartment, Neil gave Avni silent treatment. He couldn't trust himself not to lose control and scream at her for leaving him. Once they reached their apartment all he wanted to do was to shout and scream at her, he wanted to cry for nearly losing her, he wanted to beg her to not leave him again, he wanted to shake some sense into her. He just couldn't decide what to do first and in what order. So he did the next best thing. He kissed her.
