A small OS from Avni's POV. Do read and let me know. Love to have a feedback. Thanks for all the love for my previous OS.
***************
Avni strolled along the beachside. The wind was stroking her hair ever so lightly. There was a chill in the air. She shivered a little and lifted her shawl to cover her shoulders. Night lamp posts have lit that lounge area as if it was the day. She walked towards the beach where it was darker. She needed a place of shadows to think and clear her head.
It has been a week since she has come to Goa. She met Vidhyut, became Mishti's governess and got permission from Vidhyut to go the summer camp, everything going as per the plan. She has to plan now how to take Mmishti safely back home. Her heart ached when she thought about Mishti.
How can a child be so silent all the time? How can a person scare a little kid so much that she is even scared to talk? Vidhyut R, I will not leave you like this to harm the child more.
A slight noise and the screeching of some bird pierced the otherwise still night. A shiver ran down Avni's spine and she stopped. Normally she was always very alert about her surroundings. But on Leela's private beach she didn't expect anyone to come and harm her. She turned to see what disturbed the bird on the beach. Nothing, darkness wrapped everything near the beach, even the sky seemed like a dark cloth covered in clouds.
She hesitated a bit still moved closer to the waters. A strong hand enwrapped her right wrist and pulled her towards him. The suddenness of that action left her without balance and she fell hard on him. Despite the panic settling in her, she could smell him.
Neil
"Avni"
She blinked and looked at him unbelievingly.
How can he be here?
As if he heard that question, Neil smirked "Avni, I told you. You will always find me near you, no matter where you go."
"Neil, you...how..." Avni's voice trailed off.
Neil whispered in her ear with his low, yet fierce voice.
"I always knew where you were Avni. I knew you would do something like this so I kept a tracker in your luggage."
"What?"
Remembering the unnecessary beeps while scanning the luggage in the airport, anger rose in her voice "You kept a tracker in my bag! How can you?" Avni tried to pull away from his firm grip in vain.
Neil hugged her tightly.
"Enough Avni, I can't do this anymore. At home, I have calmed down everyone now. If they know that you have come to Ragini Pandit's son's lair, I do not know how everyone would have reacted. So I never told them you are here. I know that's what you wanted. But you can't take such a risk for me Avni. Enough is enough. Let's go home"
"Neil"
Avni could feel the pain in his voice. She felt bad leaving him in such a spot.
He doesn't deserve this, she doesn't deserve this, but she has to do what is needed. There is a small child who needs her, who needs a father, who needs a mother. She has to be the voice of that kid whose mute screams goes unheard every night. It does not matter if the kid is Neil's kid or not, Mishti is Avni. It is like looking back to her past.
She shivered at the thought of Mishti. Neil held her closer.
"Avni, It is windy here, let's go back." Avni noded. She always knew Neil will find her eventually. But she didn't expect this soon.
********************
Avni scrambled through her items in the luggage to locate the tracker in her room. Something inside her told me there would be more than one tracker. She made a note to discard the bag and its contents.
Now how will she shake off Neil's spies who stalk her 24x7?
"Problems of having a supercop as husband" She murmured.
"Yes, wifey. Any problem?"
In her restlessness to find the trackers, she didn't realize Neil's bath is finished. She hurriedly closed the bag and turned to face him.
"Neil..."
The sweet smell of him hit her like a wave, all wet and fresh, and Avni forgot what she was about to say. Neil lifted his eyebrows in a quizzical manner and with a slight nod, he moved towards her. Avni stepped back as Neil came closer. Neil threw the wet towel on the floor as he slowly took her into his arms.
She looked at his ever-piercing eyes and felt a chillness rise up her spine. His eyes always managed to evoke an unknown feeling in her, A feeling which she never wanted to acknowledge, a feeling which Neil Khanna never fail to detect. Her cheeks turned to cherub pink.
He moved his one hand to the side slowly caressing her arm and them pulled her closer as if asking for permission. His eyes searched for the answer in her eyes. She could feel the contours of his body pressing against her. Unknowingly her hand raised to touch his face. Neil, taking the cue, pulled her for a chaste kiss. Avni felt the love blossoming in her whole body and cling to him, never wanting him to stop it.
Neil, pleasantly surprised by the fierceness of her passion, slowly probed the lines of her lips waiting for the entry to her heart and Avni with a heavy breath opened her mouth and let him in. With a sudden urgency, he lifted her and let him drawn into a vehement connection of souls. By the time, she pulled her lips out of his, she was out of breath.
Unable to look at him directly, Avni slowly rested her against his chest and inhaled waiting for him to call her name.
"Avni" Came the ever soothing voice of Neil with all his love for her. She closed her eyes and hugged him tighter.
There is no way she is letting him go. She will always be Avni Neil Khanna. And there is nowhere else I want to be right now. But don't know where destiny gonna land us in future.
The thought of losing him like Aisha ma, Papa, and Aman shook her out of that reverie. She might have shivered because Neil wrapped her om his arms warmly and said soothingly.
"Shhh. No one can take me from you Avni. Don't you worry."
Avni relaxed and let him hold her closer.
"Avni, I know why you are doing this. I know why you feel connected to the child than anyone else. You see yourself in her. I know"
Avni looked up at him incredulously,
How can he tell the things from my heart? How can he see my heart?
"Avni, I am with you always and you have to understand that I am yours. No one can change that fact and you can't deny it either. Not Juhi, not the kid, not anyone else. Nothing can come between us.It is always you and me.You do know that. right?"
Avni's smile turned to a heartfelt grin. Yes, she knows that. It is always him and her no one else.
Neil quipped smiling "Good that I am a cop and a good one at that, or else how would I have caught my don wifey and how would I have seen her blush so much."
