Avni laughed. She laughed at her fate. She was supposed to get married to Neil today. That never happened. Their family had planned a beautiful white wedding for her and Neil.
(Flashback)
Her husband was in tuxedo looking not less than a prince and she was adorned in beautiful white gown and a veil. Her mother Neela Maa who was her Mama as well as her Papa was walking her down the aisle. As the music played in the room, she looked up at her husband who was grinning ear to ear. His whole face was light up with that smile. Pure happiness was showcased on his face. At that moment her heart was so full of love for the man waiting for her at the altar. She had never imagined marrying someone. Or even loving someone for that matter. Her life has taken 360 degree turn. Now at this moment, she couldn't imagine her life without this man. He has become her life itself. In rang mahal she was ready to kill even her own brother for whom she was back from dead, to save Neil's life. Avni had never been so happy in her entire life.
And now all Avni can do is laugh, laugh at her fate. She was at Neela Maa's place. God was playing some cruel game with her. The history has repeated itself. Her father Ashish Mehta had left her mother in their shaadi's mandap.
She still remembers that day minute by minute. How her mother had hope that he'll return and marry her..After few hours that hope turned into desperation.When it became night and all the guests left, her hope was shattered and all that was left was this acute sense of sadness in her. That was the day her father had succeeded in really truly breaking her mother's heart.
Her marraige was not any different. When she had reached him, he had taken her palm and kissed it while looking in her eyes with so much love. The priest started the prayers, Neil was about to recite his wows when he got a call. He picked up the call and looked so worried that she wanted to soothe him. But then he started walking away from her repeatedly taking Juhi's name. She was frozen to her place as she saw him getting farther and farther away from herself. It was as if her worst nightmare was the turning into reality right before her eyes.
All her life she was running from her mother's fate. She had hated all men because they reminded her of her father Ashish Mehta. The first man who had earned her respect was him. The first man whom she ever trusted, was him. The only man whom she loves, is him.
She knew with Juhi, his first love back in the picture, complications will increase. But she accepted that fact wholeheartedly. She even went to the point of rescuing Juhi from Rang Mahal. While Rang Mahal was burning into ashes and Neil was bandaging her, she had asked him about them. She had asked him what happens now that Juhi is here. He had pleaded her to live in present and that his present was her. And just yesterday when she had proposed him, he had told her about Juhi and his daughter. She had accepted that too even though her heart was crying.. She was even ready to rescue their daughter for Neil.
She would have had understand if he would have told her the reason why he was leaving his own wedding. He didn't think she deserved to know the reason why he was leaving her at the altar.
If only...if only he had looked at her and apologized. If only he had explained everything to her. If only he had asked her to come with him. Because that's what marriage is right? She would have gone along with him. There has never been a moment where she has ever hesitated to support him.
But he didn't. He didn't think it was important for her to know the reason. He didn't even look at her. The same eyes which were gazing at her so loving when she was walking the aisle, didn't even turn in direction while he fled, with Juhi's name a constant chant on his lips while she broke into millions of pieces. The same person who had vowed to heal her, had hurt her.
He still has her love but he doesn't have her trust. She won't ever trust him again.
