The power of one sided love is unique ... it doesn't get distributed into two, as it happens in the relationships of others ... only my right is there on it
"I dont like you, I certainly dont love you, I dont even hate you, you know what I feel for you, nothing, nothing at all"
Avni's words were soul shattering
Neil looked into her eyes, once filled with love, shone with pain.
Betrayal.
Deceit.
He wanted to grab her shoulders and shake them, tell her to just trust him because for as long as he lived and even after that, he would never let harm befall her.
Then it hit him, he had let harm befall her.
The Avni he once knew non existant, a former shadow of herself glared back at him
Maybe this was for the best, because he could still love her.
This was his love, his to have and to give and to take away
How she felt would not change his love
Turning to walk away , her voice stopped him
No longer was it strong, it was broken and timid
"I loved you Neil, with all my heart and all my being I loved you so much it consumed me , now look where it got me"
Turning on his heel to face her, his eyes widened at the gun she now held to her forehead
"You were right"
Neil gulped, his throat dry "About what"
"I am a killer" her finger rested on the trigger
Neil knocked it out of her hand, kicking it away
Grabbing her, he held her close
" You cant do that, you cant leave me, what will I do without you" he cried
Her hands remained stiffly by her sides
"Kuch zakhmon ke karz lafzon se ada nahi hote"
The debt of some wounds can't be fulfilled with words
His words were of no meaning now, because yes she existed but she had lost her life.
The spark in her, now dull.
The fire, now ashes.
The pain he had given her, it couldn't be fixed, pulling back she covered his lips with her hand
Pressing a kiss on her hand, she hoped it delivered the words she could not say.
"Kambhakt khayalon ne hi toh zinda rakha hai ... varna sawaalon ne kab ka maar diya hota"
Your memories have kept me alive ... or else the questions would've killed me a long time back
Wrapping his arms around her waist, she wrapped hers around his neck
Closing her eyes she whispered the words necessary but that neither could bare to hear
Her voice was soft and low as she sang to him, they swayed slowly to the song she sang
For in those moments they werent in her prison cell, but in their home
Tu safar mera Hai tu hi meri manzil Tere bina guzara Ae dil hai mushkil
You are my journey You are my destination as well Living without you is tough, O heart!
Resting her head on his shoulder she allowed herself to cry.
For all the pain she felt, it still felt so good to be in his arms
Tu mera Khuda Tu hi dua mein shaamil Tere bina guzara Ae dil hai mushkil
You are my God You are present in my prayers Living without you is tough, O heart!
She knew she couldnt live life without him, with this doubt he had upon her, what was the point in proving herself innocent if he couldn't trust her
Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi Junoon hai mera Banoo main tere qaabil
Your absence tries me You are necessary to complete everything that lacks in my life It's my passion to become worthy of you
He knew he had let her down, but he would prove he was worthy of her and her love, but in time.
Tere bina guzaara Ae dil hai mushkil Yeh rooh bhi meri Yeh jism bhi mera Utna mera nahin Jitna hua tera
My soul, My body does not belong to me as much as it does to you
Every part of him called out to her, how good it felt to have her in his arms again.
Tune diya hai jo Woh dard hi sahi Tujhse mila hai toh Inaam hai mera
Even if I have received only pain from you, As I have received it from you, it is a reward for me
She had forgiven him, she wasnt angry just empty
She loved him, and those precious memories were enough to last forever
Mera asmaan dhoondhe teri zameen Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
My sky searches your ground You are necessary to complete everything that is absent from me
Without her he was incomplete
There would never be a Neil without Avni
Zameen pe na sahi Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
If not on earth, come, meet me in the sky
Reaching slowly for the gun in his pocket she felt her heartbeat quicken
This was it, it was over
Tere bina guzara Ae dil hai mushkil Maana ki teri maujoodgi se Ye zindagaani mehroom hai Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka Na mere dil ko maaloom hai
I agree that my life is void of your presence but My heart does not know any other way to live (except with you in it)
Without him, it wasnt worth it
Without him, she had nothing
Tujhko main kitni Shiddat se chaahun Chaahe toh rehna tu bekhabar
If you wish, stay unaware of the extreme to which I love you
As he held her tighter to his body, he hoped by some miracle she would know that he still loved her , that he would never stop loving her
That he would always trust her
Mohtaaj manzil ka toh nahin hai Ye ek tarfa mera safar safar Khoobsurat hai manzil se bhi Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
My one-sided journey (journey of one-sided love) Is not dependent on destination This journey is even more gorgeous than destination You are necessary to complete everything that lacks in my life
Pulling the gun to her forhead she pulled away
The words whispered , never to be taken back "Goodbye"
Adhura ho ke bhi Hai ishq mera qaamil Even though incomplete, My love is complete
Pulling the trigger, her body fell into his arms as her eyes rolled back
Staring up at him was nothingness
Grabbing the gun he shot himself, they fell to the floor with a bang
For there was never a Neil without Avni
I thought I would try something new.
The quotes and song are from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
I wanted to try a new take on how both Avni and Neil are feeling and thought the song and the quotes chosen described it well
Let me know what you think
