After returning from Khanna house and after completing the rest of the rituals of Simran and Raj in Mehra house, Avni comes to the room and goes to the washroom to change her dress.
She changes into her pyjamas and comes to the room from the washroom.... after that, She stands in front of the mirror, and drys her face from the towel and then apply some moisturizer, and then ties her hair into a loose bun:
Then she goes from there to the door to switch off the lights and as soon as she switches off all the lights in the room, she gets shocked when she feels someone behind her and before she screams, that person puts his hand over her mouth to stop her screaming.
His touch and scent is enough for her to know who is standing behind her and she gets shocked, Why has he come here at this time, she thinks.
Wherein that person presses her mouth with one hand, with the other hand turns on a dim light in her room and removes his hand from her mouth.
Even after removing his hand, she does not have the courage to turn towards him, she does not want to face him, what will she say to him...Somewhere she is understanding why he has come here, and she does not want to answer him
While seeing her silent like this and seeing her not turning towards him, he takes her name
" Lily " Avni closes her eyes hearing his voice.
" Aap yehaan kyon aaye hai Neil ? " she asks this question before he can say anything
" Mujhe ignore karne ki wajah....?" Neil speaks looking at her back but she doesn't answer his question, and seeing her silent, Neil speaks again
" Kuch bologi..." Saying this he holds her arm and turns her towards him, Avni looks at him but still does not respond....
" Lily, meri galti kya hai ?"
" Galti aapki ye hai ki aapko is waqt yehaan aaj nahi aana chahiye tha "
" Agar tum mere calls aur messages ka jawab de deti to main nahi aata...."
Avni sees him
" aakhir hua hai.... kya maine koi galti ki hai, kya tumhe meri kisi baat ka bura lgaa hai... ?" Avni does not say anything on these words of him.
" Kyon kar rahi ho mere saath aisa.... kal Subah se tumne mere ek bhi call ka jawab nahi diya.... maine socha aaj milkar baat karenge to aaj bhi pure waqt tum mujhe ignore kar rahi thi, meri traf ek baar dekha bhi nahi..." "lily..." Saying this he cups her face in his palm and Avni looks at him....
" I'm sorry, par please mere saath aisa mat karo.... tumhare liye shayad ye koi badi baat nahi hogi par mujh se tumhari narazgi bardaast nahi ho rahi.... I can't able to tolerate your silence
Avni still doesn't say anything but removes his hand away from her face and goes to the side and Neil looks at her
" Sangeet waale din tak tum theek thi, phir ab kya ho gya hai tumhe, Atlest batao to meri galti kya hai ?
" Aapki koi galti nahi hai " avni answers him
" phir, phir mujh se baat kyon nahi kar rahi, aur ye kya aap aap lgaa rakha hai....maine mnaa kiya hai n tumhe..."
" Aap mere bhai ke dost hai, to jis trah main unhe aap Kehti hu, aap bhi mere liye aap hi ho..." Neil looks at her strangely on this, how did he suddenly become her brother's friend just for her?
" Lily, abhi tumne kaha ki meri koi galti nahi hai to is trah mujh se kyon baat kar rahi ho.. kyon mujh se muh pher kar khadii ho ? Jawab do "
" mujhe aapke kisi sawal ka jawab nahi dena aur aap yehaan se jaaiye, kisi ne dekh liya to problem ho jaayegi " she speaks showing her back to him
" Tum to aise keh rahi ho jaise main yehaan is trah pahli baar aaya hu... pahle to problem nahi hui, fir aaj kyon problem ho rahi hai tumhe ? Jawab do ?"
" Maine kaha main koi jawab nahi dungi, aur aapko ek baar me baat samjh nahi aa rahi, jaaiye yehaan se "
" Main apne sawalo ke jawab ke bina aaj yehaan se nahi jaaunga, tumhare liye shayad ye rishta maayne nahi rakhta hoga par mere liye ye janna bahut jruri hai ki hua kya hai tumhe, kyon naraz ho ?"
On this, Avni turns to him, how can he say that their relationship doesn't matter to her
" Aap ye keh bhi kaise sakte hai ki mere liye ye rishta maayne nahi rakhta, aapki wajah se main apne bhai se jhoot bol rahi hu aur aapko lagta hai mere liye ye rishta maayne nahi rakhta ?" She said this in disbelief
Neil listens to her, maybe he said the wrong thing... yes she is lying to her most important people for him but he is not the reason...He never told her to lie, it was her own decision
" Meri wajah se ?"
" Haan, aapki wajah se.. bhai mujh par itna trust karte hai par aapki wajah se maine unka trust tod diya, aapko pta bhi hai mujhe kitna bura lag raha hai unhe is trah dhokha dete hue.... ab mujhe aapse baat nahi karni, main bhai ko aur dhokha nahi dena chahti "
Neil listens to her everything, what she is saying, he does not understand anything.
" Main to humesha se kehta aaya hu ki use sab btaa dete hai par tumne mujhe rok rakha hai aur aaj is trah..... mujhe tum kabhi kabhi samjh nahi aati... tum kya kahti ho, kya karti ho.... hua kya hai ? Kya Raj ne tumse kuch kaha hai ?"
Avni sees him and doesn't know what happens to her at this moment that she tells him everything about how Raj suspects her and he wants her to share this important thing of her life with him, but what should she do now, how to go and tell him that his sister is in love with his best friend. She has broken his trust.
While listening to her, Neil looks at her and understands what has happened to her suddenly, She was normal till the sangeet functions, but after that all these talk happened between her and her brother and since then she has a feeling of cheating on her brother and her behavior changed towards him because of that.
Perhaps he got the answers to all his questions now, even though Avni is with him, but today he is not surprised to see her changing like this, he's always had a feeling somewhere that she might leave him for her brother and today her behavior is telling him that she is regretting her relationship with him.
He looks at her who is again standing silently in front of him, he thinks something and starts walking towards the balcony silently.... Avni asks seeing him going there.
" Ab kahan jaa rahe hai " Neil smiles sadly at her question and turns to her.
" Wapas jaa raha hu, aaj sare jawab mil gye.." She feels his pain in his voice and before this Neil takes another step towards the balcony, Avni holds his wrist, but this time Neil does not turn towards her.
" I'm sorry par bhai aapke saath mujhe kabhi accept nahi karenge, aur ye baat aapko bhi pta hai.... main aapko is trah hurt nahi karna chahti par hum jo kar rahe the wo ga....galat hai....aur ye sab yehi khtm karna sa...sahi hoga...." She stammers her last few words to which Neil turns to her, Avni looks at him.
" Tumhe mere saath nahi rahna hai to mat raho par mere pyar ko galat mat bolo...." Avni looks at him on this.
" Kya galti hai meri ? Sirf itni ki mujhe tumse pyar hua...? yaa ye ki mujhe meri dost ki behan se pyar ho gya...? yaa sirf ye ki mujhe mujh se 5 saal chhoti ladki se pyar ho gya ? Kya hai meri galti ? " Avni looks at him on his question.
" It's only a 5 year difference, Lily. This is nothing... In some couples, there is a huge age difference, but you feel that this reason is valid...No, it's just an excuse of yours.."
Avni sees him
"When I first saw you, I didn't know you'd be my friend's sister
When I first saw you in school, I didn't even know in which standard you were... When I met your brother, I got a chance to see you again and meet you for the first time and then I came to know that the girl with whom I probably fell in love at first sight is so much younger than me, I was in 11th and you were in 6th...."
" But you know after that I thought just like you that no it is wrong...mujhe tumhe us nazar se nahi dekhna chahiye kyonki tum mujh se thodi chhoti ho aur mere dost ki behan ho... Par jitna main apne dil ko tumhe bhulne ko kehta ye mujhe tumhari yaad utni hi dilaata....phir bhi maine bahut control karne ki koshish ki... lekin fir roj tumhe dekhna, holidays par tumhare ghar sirf tumhe dekhne aana study ka bahaana lekar....ye sab mera dil karwaata gya aur main karta gya..."
Avni sees him
" Maine socha shayad, shayad main tumhe bhul jaaunga jab school se chala jaaunga... college gya, wahaan hazaaro ladkiyan thi par kisi me tum jaisi maasomiyat nahi thi... maine ek aur baar socha tumhe bhulun, tumhe bhulne ke liye socha kisi aur se dil-lagi kar loon par tumhe pta hai us waqt bhi mere dil ne mujhe aisa karne ki izazt nahi di... mera dil tumhe dhokha nahi dena chahta tha.... tumhare siwa agar main kisi ke baare me sochna bhi chahta tha to aisa lagta tha ki main tumhe dhokha de raha hu, strange jise Meri feelings ke baare me pta tak nahi tha uske liye mere andar aisi feelings aa rahi thi..."
" Par phir, dheere dheere maine bhi accept karna shuru kar diya ki... kya ho gya tum umar me mujh se thodi chhoti ho, kya ho gya agar tum mere best friend ki behan ho.... kisi ko pasand karna, us se pyar karna galat to nahi ? Pyar umar thode dekhta hai... pyar to pyar hota hai, jo kabhi bhi... kisi ko.. kisi se ho jaata hai... "
Avni sees him
" maine ye sab baate tumse kabhi nahi kahi kyonki mujhe nahi lgaa tha ki mujhe kabhi apne pyar ko is trah sahi saabit karna padega.... mera pyar galat nahi hai aur ab ye tum par hai tumhe kya karna hai... jahan itne saal tumhare bina gujaara tha aage bhi rah lunga, tum raho apne bhai ke saath..."
By now Avni's eyes are full of tears, she really doesn't know what to do... she knows her brother will not accept her with her but she doesn't want to lose Neil too, the way he adores her, the way he always respects her and her decisions, She will never find anyone else who loves her the way he does, but on the other side is her brother, who loves her no less, She doesn't want to hurt her brother too and in the midst of all this, she doesn't want to break their friendship because of herself... She doesn't understand what to do now.
On the other hand, seeing her still silent, Neil is also losing the little hope left in his heart and he speaks
" Don't worry, if this is what you want then this will happen.. anyway there was nothing from your side... it was me who forcefully meets you, but now........Neil is unable to say anything beyond this and turns from there and starts going to the balcony to go back from where he came.
Seeing him going there, Avni follows him and stops him by taking his name
" Ab kyon rok rahi ho, yehi chahti ho n ki tumse dur chala jaaun, par itna yaad rakhna... aaj agar main chala gya to main tumse kabhi nahi milunga...." Avni is shocked to hear this
" Bhale humare beech ab ek rishta ban chuka hai parivaar ki wajah se aur us wajah se humara saamna ho sakta hai par aaj ke baad main puri kosish karunga ki tumhe mera ye chahra kabhi dekhne ko naa mile..." Avni looks at him shocked.
