Don't blame my wandering mind for this new OS! I was listening to Deewani Mastani from Bajirao Mastani (surely check it out if you haven't heard it, though I'm sure there isn't one who would not have heard it) and this idea crept into my head. Here Avni is a professional dancer (don't ask me how, it's a work of fiction and creative liberty taken by me).
DISCLAIMER This work entirely belongs to me, with much effort I have written this. And I know least bit of dance, yet I'm writing this coz I wanted this to come down from my head.
@Payal "Colliding With Each Other Again will have to wait. I'm putting this at priority list, otherwise this idea is eating up all the storage for rest of stories in my writer card(my brain). Hopefully I earn forgiveness from you.

Avni/AvNeil RS ~ Tarantism
Nabhatun aali apsara
Nabhatun aali apsara
Asi sundara saaj sazpunna
Aali aali aali
Aali ga aali..
Kesa madhi maandla gajra
Lokachya nazra khilya tichyavar
Aali aali aali..
Duniyachi pyaari tu
Agrani harni ga
Agrani sundaraa ha ha..
Aali ga aali
Aali ga aali
Aali ga aali
Oh maharani aali..
Aga ga ga ga...
Avni bent to her feet, tying the ghoonghroos to them. She closed her eyes and muttered silent prayers to the Lord before standing up. After a long gap, she felt the urge to dance, to vent her frustration at the recent happenings, to cry out her heart as advised by Sunheri who took all the children out with Tara-Sitara to a nearby park.
Nervously knotting her scarf till waist length, she walked towards the centre. She slumped to ground, her back facing the door with her hands in 90 degree angle.
Nazar jo teri laagi main deewani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Mash'hoor mere ishq ki kahaani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi
Mash'hoor mere ishq ki ye kahani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
She sat cross-legged, twirling her wrists to join them together. Her feet now on the ground, she stood and did her steps. She swirled, she stumbled, she rose, all by herself. Not a hiss came from her mouth. Her eyes brimmed with tears. The sound made by the anklets echoed throughout the room. Wasn't their love that strong, was her love so weak that her husband refuses to hear her plea. Did she push him to that level where he has nothing except for hatred and anger towards her. The eyes which reflected so much of love and warmth for her became nothing but cold and insensitive, his gaze wounded her like a broken piece of glass does if not picked carefully.
Zakham aisa tune lagaya
Deewani, deewani, deewani, deewani ho gayi
Marham aisa tune lagaya
Ruhaani, ruhaani, ruhaani, ruhaani ho gayi
Pehchaan mere ishq ki ab toh
Pehchaan mere ishq ki ab toh
Rawaani, rawaani, rawaani, rawaani ho gayi
He held the capacity to give her pain, but it was the same Neil Khanna who can heal her too. He made her, gave her a purpose in life but it was the same him who broke her, shattered her. With every round she took, tears increased in direct proportion. Her feet was bleeding but she cared least about it. The pain in feet was much less compared to the agony of her heart, the former has a cure but latter does not.
sab noor noor sa bikhra hai
ek tu hi khayaalon mein utra hai
bas jhoom jhoom jhoom jhoom jaata hai dil
tu mastaani hai..
tu deewani hai..
paakeezah hasti hai teri
tu noorani hai.
She spun and spun and spun, her pace increasing with every decreasing beat. The doors of her house flung open revealing Neil but she didn't look at him, drowned in her own misery to notice him. The world around suddenly began spinning and she fell on the floor with a huge thud. The last she could remember was his face before slipping into unconsciousness.
'Neil...' She whispered.

Done with my blabbering in the story. No continuation for this, please don't request. Otherwise I might get into the temptation of penning down. Phir baaki ke stories kaise update karungi main.
Love,
