Teri Meri Kahani

Chapter 32

Running from the problem is not the solution of the problem.

It was the time of day, the sun was shining over the Mehta house and it was peeping into the room of Avni from the window where Neil was standing by holding the arms of Avni.

Neil: kya tha yeb sab niche, han? Kya tha? Tum humhara rishta khatam karna chahti ho. Humari engagement torna chahti ho?  Mujhse shadi nahi karna chahti? Han, bolo, jawab do.

Avni was looking away.

Neil: Avni, answer me.

Avni: han.

Neil was shocked and he got angry.

Avni: han, main humara khatam karna chahti hun.

Neil was angrily looking at Avni.

Avni: han, main humari engagement torna chahti ho. Han main tumse shadi nahi karna chahti. Mil gaya jawab.

Neil: kyun? Kyun tum mujhse shadi nahi kar sakti?

Avni: reason batana main zarori nahi smajhti.

Neil: tumhe reason batana hoga.

Avni: yeh meri life hai, meri marzi main jo karun.

Neil: nahi, yeh tumhare akele ki life nahi hai. Yeh rishta hum dono ka jora tha so mujhe yeh janane ka haq hai ke kya waja hai ke tum humara rishta khatam karna chahti ho? Reason janane ka pura haq hai mujhe. Is tarha achanak mukar jane ki kya waja hai.

Avni: reason yeh hai ke main shadi nahi karna chahti.

Neil: kyun?

Avni: meri life, meri marzi. Is se to tum jore howe nahi ho na.

Neil: Avni, mujhe janana hai.

Avni: aur mujhe nahi batana.

Neil was looking at Avni who was trying to avoid Neil's gaze.

Neil: kahin tum yeh sab us anonymous caller ki waja se to nahi kar rahi.

Avni can't control it anymore.

Avni: han, oshi ki waja se kar rahi hun. Oshi ki waja se kar rahi hun. Mil gaya jawab. Ho gaye khush tum. Ab jao yahan se.

Neil gave a stern look to Avni.

Neil: jab maine us din ke attack ke bad humara rishta torne ki baat ki thi tab to tumhe bohat bura laga tha aur ab tum khud.

Avni turned away.

Avni: tab ki baat alag thi. Tab sirf attack howa tha woh bhi mujhper lekin ab baat alag hai.

Neil held Avni’s arm and turned her to him.

Neil: ab kya alag hai. Ab kya badal gaya hai. Tab mujhe tumhe khone ka dar tha aur ab tumhe hai.

Avni shouted: sirf dar hi nahi hai. Maine khoya hai. Maine mere mamma, papa ko khoya hai.

Neil was shocked. Avni cried.

Avni: woh mere mamma, papa ko mujhse chin chukka hai. Woh mujhe marna chahta tha aur meri jaga mere mamma papa ko…

Avni looked away while crying. Neil felt bad. Neil sighed and he cupped Avni’s face.

Neil: Avni, tum us caller ki tension mat lo. Bohat jald woh jail ki salakhon ke peeche hoga yeh mera wadda hai tumse.

Avni: to is topic ko tab dekha jaega. Lekin abhi ke liye meri na hai.

Neil remained silent and Avni was looking at Neil.
