Note: very disappointed with the response of both stories. Anyways, let's start the chapter.
Chapter 86:
At the time of the day, Avni entered the Mehta house fastly, Neil was behind her. They went upstairs and went to Aman's room. They saw Kareena is standing there outside the room and was worried. They go to her. Avni holds Kareena's arm.
Avni: Aman.
She signed at the door. Avni moved to the door and calms herself first. Avni slowly knocked on the door.
Avni: Aman. Aman, open the door, see, Di has reached. Come on, baby, open the door. You will not open your Di's door. Hmm.
Avni knocked on the door.
Avni: Aman.
Neil also joins her.
Neil: Aman, open the door. We can talk, everything will be fine.
No response.
Avni banged the door.
Avni: Aman, open the door.
Neil: Aman, Aman, open the door. Nothing has happened. Open the door.
Avni shouts Aman, are you not listening we are asking you to open the door.
Neil: Avni, relax. He is already stressed. Deal calmly.
Avni nods. She again requested Aman to open the room but no use.
Avni: Neil, I am feeling very scared what if Aman took any wrong step.
Neil thinks and asked Aman to open the door.
Neil: Avni, we have to break the door.
Avni nods and moved back.
Neil: Take aside.
Avni moved back. Neil kicked the door two times and it broke. Avni fastly goes inside and saw Aman is trying to cut his wrist. Avni, Neil and Kareena were shocked to see that.
Avneil: Aman.
They run to her and tried to stop him.
Avni: Aman, no, no, drop it.
Aman shook his head.
Avni and Neil looked at each other. Neil nods.
Avni: Aman, you are my brave brother, please drop it.
Aman: no, I am good for nothing. I have killed Riya Di.
Avni: no, Aman, nothing is like this.
Neil was looking at them. Neil catches Aman's arms from behind. Avni holds his wrist and snatched the knife from his hand and throws it on the floor. Neil left Aman and was panting. Avni slapped Aman.
Avni: I took the blame on my head to see this, this day. Did I hide the truth to see these things where my father is fighting for his life and my brother wants to kill himself. I got saved in an accident to see this day.
Avni sits on the bed and catches the bed and moves. Aman was crying. He comes to Avni and sits on his knees and keeps the hand on Avni's knees.
Aman: I am sorry, Di.
Avni cups his face.
Avni: whatever happened was an accident. But yes, your addiction to drugs was wrong.
Aman: sorry, Di, don't know, what happened to me? How I went on the wrong path but you Di, why did you take the blame on your head? Why did you bear all the humiliation, insults? Papa daily humiliates you, taunts you but you never reveal the truths. Why? To save me? To save me, you silently bear all the tortures.
Avni kissed his forehead.
Avni: you are my brother. You are my Aman, my cry baby, if I did not save you then who will do that, hmm. You are my Aman, my brother.
Aman: I am sorry, Di, I am sorry please forgive me.
Avni hugged him. Aman cries. Neil was looking at them. Neil knows Avni more than any other person in the world but he also doesn't understand what Avni is made of how can a person be so selfless.
Neil's phone rings. Avni and Aman looked at him.
Neil: hello.
Neil smiled.
Neil: thank you, thank you so much, Doctor Shiv.
Avni and Aman looked at each other and again looked at Neil they wipe their tears. Neil cuts the call and looked at them happily.
Neil: papa is out of danger now.
Avni smiled with teary eyes.
Neil: it was a call from the hospital. Papa is fine now.
Avni and Aman looked at each other and smiled they hugged each other. Avni cupped Aman's face.
Avni: let's go. Papa needs you.
Aman: he will hate me.
Avni: I am with you. I will handle everything. You just have to keep patience. Hmm.
Aman nods. Avni looked at Neil who was looking at her.
All reached the hospital and the view in front of them pulled the rug from under their feet. Neela maa was crying, Sonia and Shweta were consoling her. Sonia was also crying. A nurse comes out, Arnav tried to talk to her but she goes. Avni fastly goes to Neela maa she forgot that it is Neil's hospital, the nurse will tell him but Avni goes to Neela maa.
Avni: what happened?
Neil stopped the nurse.
Neil: what happened?
Nurse: he had another attack.
Neil was shocked.
Sonia: don't know, they are not telling anything. They just said that papa is critical.
Avni was shocked. She looked at Neela maa then at Neil who was coming to them and looking at Avni.
Avni: Neil...
Neil blinks his eyes.
Neil: doctors are trying. Relax.
Avni was looking at him. They wait for the doctor after some time, the doctor came. The doctor looked at Neil
Doctor: he is under observation, we can't say anything right now. Hope for the best.
Neil looked at him they went away from them and talked. When the doctor goes, Avni comes to Neil.
Avni: what he was saying?
Neil: nothing, just discussing papa's condition. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Come.
Neil and Avni go to all.
Neil: you all go, home. People are not allowed here.
Nm: I don't want to go.
Avni: I will stay with mamma.
Neil: try to understand, you can't gather the crowd here please go home when Papa will gain consciousness I will inform you.
Avni: Ne...
Neil: Avniii... Please.
Arnav: one can stay here, right. I will stay here.
Nm: me also.
Neil: ok, you two can stay here. Others please go.
They nod. The Khanna family meets the Mehta family. Prakash meets Arnav.
Prakash: if you need any help, don't hesitate to contact me, if you need anything, just do call me, I am like your father, hmm.
Arnar: thank you, uncle. You are with us in this hard time it is enough for us. It means a lot.
Prakash pets his shoulders and hugged him.
Nm: Arnav is saying right thank you so much for supporting us.
Shweta: no need of it we are one family if we will not come then who will come.
Shweta and Bebe meet her they go.
Avneil stayed there and went home at night. Avneil entered the home and were tired. Avni rubbed her forehead because it was aching. Neil huffs. Avni thinks. Neil looked at her and keeps the hand on her shoulder.
Neil: don't worry, everything will be fine.
Avni nods.
Neil: get freshen up and have something you did not eat anything since morning.
Avni: I don't want it.
Neil: Avni, how will this work. You will get ill. Will papa get fine by doing this?
Avni: Neil, I am not feeling good. Please. I knew this will happen that's why I would not want the truth to come out.
Neil: the thing that is supposed to happen that would have happened.
Avni turns to him.
Avni: no, we could hide it. I did not let anyone know about it in these five years but I broke down in front of you. I told you many times to not talk about it but you did not listen to me. See, what
happened.
Neil was shocked. He understands that she is tense and worried for Ashish and is saying all this because of that but it hurts him. Neela maa listened to them it is not his mistake. He wanted to see her happy.
Avni: if you remain silent then today everything would have been fine. you are responsible for all this. People say right, the secret is a secret until it is in your heart but the day, you share it with anyone, it will no longer be a secret.
Neil was looking at her.
Avni: I should not trust you. Telling you the truth was the biggest mistake of my life.
Neil said "Avni" in shock.
Avni looked at him and goes from there furiously. Neil was looking at her.
