It is night time
After Avni's job disclosure, there is a bit of silence in the Mehra house......Since that time, Raj has not said even a single word to Avni, while on the other hand, Avni has been making countless calls to Neil since that time but he is not answering any of her calls nor has he called her back even once, which is making her sad
She knows that somewhere she did something wrong by hiding this from everyone and especially from Neil and now Neil is justified in being angry with her, but now at least he will listen to her once.
She knew If she had told all this to everyone in advance, then everyone would have got her to agree to their point in some way or the other and would not have allowed her to work outside in some other company.
She also knows Neil, if she had told him all this earlier, he would have stopped her from doing this under the spell of his words and she too would have agreed to him somewhere or the other.
Also, She knows that her brother's temper will improve after some time and he will definitely agree to this thing, but Neil ? She has broken his heart somewhere with this thing of hers, but unless both of them talk, how will she be able to make him understand her pov.
" Maine us waqt kuch nahi bola, par Ashish tumne Avni ko Bangalore jaane ki permission kyon de di....? Wo kaise manage karegi sab kuch ?" Neela speaks to Ashish who is sitting on the bed with her, and after hearing this, Ashish smiles at her.
" Neela, mera Avni ko haan kehne ke picche sirf ek hi wajah thi aur wo wajah thi ki aajtak usne humse kabhi kuch nahi maanga, usne kabhi apni koi aisi khawaish humare saamne nahi rakhi, to aaj main use kaise mnaa karta..." neela sees him on this, yes he's correct, she never asks or demands anything
" Yes, I wanted her to take over my business like Raj, but if she doesn't want that, then I can't impose my decision on her, She has always done what we and Raj, have decided for her and which was not wrong, earlier she was at an age where things had to be decided for her but now...
Even though children never grow up for their parents but the truth is that Avni is growing up, many things must be changing inside her, like everyone else, she will also have a desire to see the outside world...." neela sees him on this and he speaks further
" She can do whatever she wants to do in life and as parents it is our duty to let her do whatever she wants to do....We know that somewhere her decision is wrong, despite having all the comforts and facilities, it is not wise to go towards difficulties willingly, But we are thinking about this from a parent's point of view....right ?" Understanding his words neela nods
" but this will be a new experience for her and we should support her in this decision, She will shine more with this thing and the question is, how will she manage those things? She will do it and you see she won't be able to stay away from us for long, She will soon come running back from there, saying that she cannot live without us." Neela smiles hearing his last line, It is true that she will not be able to live without them.
" That's why don't take all this tension now that how will she live without us and let her do whatever she wants, if she is happy then what else do we want.... hai naa ?" Nodding her head at this, Neela hugs him from the side and Ashish kisses her head, smiling.
" She is very lucky to have you as her father."
" No, I am lucky to be called her father. She is very special: for me, and for her smile I can do anything..." Ashish says
And Standing there at the door was Avni, who was about to come to them, but stopped seeing her parents talking like this and now after hearing all this she becomes sure that she is not doing anything wrong.
What can be more important for a girl than the support of her father and when she is getting it then why should she step back.
" Dad!! " Hearing Avni's voice, Neela and Ashish look at the door where an emotional Avni is standing.
" Avni " Neela speaks while separating from Ashish but Avni does not say anything further and goes straight and hugs her father, Ashish looks at Neela holding Avni in his arms
" Kya hua bachcha ?" Ashish asks caressing her hair
" Nothing, I love you dad, you are the best dad in the world." Ashish smiles looking at Neela at Avni's words.
" I love you too my princess, And you are the best daughter in the world..." He said kissing her head, and there neela smiles seeing them like this But to correct her mood she speaks
" Accha! Mtlb Sara pyar....world's best dad ye sab papa ke liye....maa ke liye kuch nahi ?" Neela says this with the intention of changing her mood due to which Avni separates from Ashish and sitting comfortably on the bed, she puts her arms around Neela's neck and puts her head close to her and says
" aap to duniya ki sabse acchi aur pyaari maa ho Meri....I love you maa "
" Chalo chalo ab makhan mat lgaao, mujhe pta hai ye mera kehne ke baad aaya hai mere liye...tum aisa kuch nahi kehna chahti thi..." neela says making faces on which avni pouts.
" Rehne do bachcha, kuch log humare pyar ko dekhkar jalte hai..."
" Main nahi jal rahi " neela says
" maine tumhara naam to liya nahi " neela gives ashish a look on this and in attempt to stop their further nok-jhok Avni sits in between them and hugs both of them together and enjoys this moment with them, forgetting the rest of the tension for a few moments.
Later, after coming to her room, Avni calls Neil again but is disappointed when he is still not answering her calls.
She thinks that now she has only one person who can help her talk to Neil, and with this thought she goes out of her room.
Other side
While Raj is sitting on the couch doing some work, Simran comes to the room from the washroom after changing her clothes and looking at him, she thinks that now she should talk to him about Avni, whatever it is, now she is going to Bangalore, so what is the point of getting angry like this.
" Raj! "
" Hmm..." He replies to her while lost in his files.
" Mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai "
" Agar avi ke baare me tumhe mujh se baat karni hai to sorry mujhe nahi baat karni...." He says this, understanding her unspoken words, but hearing this, Simran sits next to him and takes the file from his hand on which he sees her and she places his file on the table.
" Raj, ab jab papa maan gye hai to tum aise kyon avu se gussa ho... You should also support her in the fact that she wants to do something on her own but instead of that, you are angry with her.... Right now, she needs her beloved brother's support the most and here you are treating her like this..." Hearing her words he sighs
" I should support her... yaa of course I should support her on this wrong decision of hers..." Simran looks at him.
" How can I support her decision? The reason she has given is complete nonsense... Will she become competent by working somewhere else? Am I incompetent...?" Simran gets a little shocked at his question.
" Or Neil, your brother is incompetent? Answer me...?
" Raj, I... She can't say anything further when Raj speaks
" Both of us had also joined our respective father's business, so isn't our name today...? Avi can also make this name with her own strength by working with us, but the reason she is giving that we will not allow her to work is complete nonsense... Yes, I admit that I am not only a little but very protective of her, maybe I don't let her do much field work...But this does not mean that I will become a hindrance in her learning..." Simran sees him on this
" Raj, when did she say that you will become a hindrance in her learning ?
" No, that's what she meant by that... you tell me, what thing have I not listened her till date? But before taking such a big decision, she did not consider it necessary to say anything to anyone even once." Simran silently listen him and atlast Raj sees her and speaks taking a breath
" she has thought of all this, decided everything alone, so why should I support her now? Anyway, she has dad's support so it doesn't matter to her whether I am with her or not...."
After listening to all this, Simran looks at him, some of his words seem right to her and some also seem wrong, Yes, Neil and he also got their father's business but it does not mean that both of them are not famous today, the world knows them through their work... but Raj's statement that Avni does not care about his support is wrong.
" Raj, I understand what you want to say...And I also know that somewhere you are not upset with Avu working somewhere else but you are upset with her going to Bangalore....You are upset and worried about how she will manage everything alone and how will you live here without her..."
Raj looks at her, how this woman always understands his unspoken words...Yes, Him not supporting her in her decision is not because she wants to work somewhere else but the biggest reason for him not supporting Avni's decision is that he cannot see her in even the slightest problem, he knows how much trouble she will have to face if she goes out and here, how will he live without her, this is also a big reason.
And before either of them says anything, they both hear a knock on the closed door of their room, Simran looks at Raj and then gets up from the couch and goes to open the door.
Simran sees Avni as soon as she opens the door, while Raj also sees her standing there but does not move from his place and starts looking in the other side
Whereas Avni looks at Simran and then her brother who's sitting in the room, with his face turned away from her, she feels bad....Had today been any other day, her brother would have been the first person to ask her why she had come here, if everything was fine ? But today he is looking away from her.
" Sorry bhabhi maine is waqt aakar aapko disturb kiya...." She speaks because it is their sleeping time.
" Kaisi baat kar rahi ho bachcha, aisa kuch nahi hai, bolo kya baat hai...aur tum baahar kyon ho...andar aao..." Saying this Simran gives way to her to come inside but Avni does not come inside.
" No, wo mujhe bas aapse kuch baat karni thi..."
" Haan Kaho n..." Simran says and Avni looks at Raj
" ab....wo...Yehaan nahi, kya aap mere room me thodi der ke liye chalengi...?" Avni says but before Simran says something, both of them hear Raj's voice.
" Yes go, she has to do some secret planning there with you....ab mere saamne to wo ho nahi sakti..." Simran gets shocked hearing his taunt, whereas Avni feels bad hearing his words...It was not at all that she did not want to talk in front of him... but it was about Neil that is why she was a little hesitant in front of him.
" Bhai aisa kuch nahi hai....aap galat samjh rahe ho..."
" Accha! fir aisi kya baat hai jo mere saamne nahi ho sakti...aaj se pehle to kabhi aisi koi baat nahi hui jo tum mere saamne nahi kar sakti thi..." Raj asks to which Avni looks at him and thinks of telling the truth.
" Neil is not picking up my calls, isiliye bhabhi ki help chahiye thi taaki wo meri unse baat karwa de..." Hearing this, Simran feels bad for her that these two men have made her life difficult.
" Avu rehne do, You don't need to explain to anyone what you have to talk to me...aur ab chalo....." Saying this, Simran holds her hand and walks out of the room, but not without giving Raj an angry look.
Meanwhile, Raj thinks something after hearing her saying that Neil is not picking up her calls.
" Ye lo, call karo use..." Without saying anything else, Simran first gives her phone to Avni so that Neil can pick up her call and she talk to him and then after that she will talk to her about whatever she wants to talks.
Avni takes the phone from Simran and dials Neil's number.
Other side
Neil is lying on his bed tossing and turning because he can't sleep, how can he sleep without talking to his comfort person?
But he doesn't want to talk to her in a bad mood otherwise he knows that he will hurt her by talking nonsense again and that is why he is trying to calm himself down first by spending time with himself.....because it will take some time for him to get over what she did to him...She didn't consider him worthy of sharing her things with him and he felt hurt by this, she always does this, never shares anything with him, She always just over-thinks the outcome of things before they happen and then expects everyone to understand her.
He is just tossing and turning in bed, thinking about her, and trying to sleep, when his phone starts ringing.
He takes his phone in his hand from the side table and sees that he is getting a call from Simran.. Simran's call at this time ? He thinks something and picks up her phone.
" Hello " When he speaks, she suddenly feels relaxed after listening to his voice on the other end of the phone, and then she musters the courage and speaks with her trembling lips
" Hello, Neil! " he closes his eyes after hearing her voice but immediately removes the phone from his ear and cuts the call, Somewhere he knew that it was not Simran who was calling him but still he picked up but he doesn't want to talk to her right now, so no matter what way she try now, he won't talk.
And there Avni gets shocked the way he cuts the call and then she calls him again but this time he does not pick up the call even after seeing Simran's name on his screen and when Avni calls him for the third time, suddenly his phone starts coming switch off, which makes her sigh in disappointment.
She sadly turns towards Simran and gives her her phone, taking which Simran asks her what happened?
" His phone is switched off " She doesn't tell her that he didn't pick up the call and then switches off his phone.
" Koi baat nahi, kal baat kar lena " She nods ok at her but seeing her sad, Simran hugs her on which she closes her eyes
" Don't worry so much, both of them will be fine by tomorrow because you know how they both are....Both of them cannot remain angry with you for long..." On this statement of Simran, she knows that maybe her brother will talk to her tomorrow but Neil ? She had seen his anger just a few days ago, how he had stopped talking to her even though it wasn't her fault last time, but this time she has done wrong to him, so will he forgive her easily?
" bhabhi, am I doing something wrong?" she asks Simran as they sit facing each other on the bed.
" No, not at all... You are not doing anything wrong and if I say from the point of view of being a girl, then you are doing right...but the way you did it all this was wrong..."
" bhabhi, you know everything, how is bhai and how is Neil... If they had known this, they would have never let me do this and that's why I hid this from him..."
" I understand you avu and I know very well how they both are but still you should have talked to someone before doing all this....and if you don't mind, can I say something to you?" On this Avni nods her head that yes say..
" I talked to Raj... and bachcha, after talking to him I have only one thing to tell you..... bachcha, if you are thinking that you want to make your name on your own, then you can make it by working with Papa and Raj or Neil...
It is a different matter for those who do not have the facilities: But avu for whom have our parents made such a business ? For us right ? only so that we can live a good life and when the time comes, we can expand their work...Raj has done the work well till now, He has made and increased his name along with papa's name.... You too can make your name by working with him with your hard work and ability.
" bhabhi, all your points are correct, but despite dad's business, bhai and Neil had started their own business and you, you also started your work differently from everyone else... then now when I also want to do the same, then how is it wrong...." She explains her point of view, to which Simran smiles.
" Absolutely right, but bachcha, my situation is different, I was not interested in dad's business...I was interested in designing and that is why my work is different... If I was interested in dad's business, I would have happily joined him.... but you...you were supposed to join them, and from the beginning you were ready for it, but now suddenly you have decided to do a different job and Raj is sad only because of this...."
" Par bhabhi, I don't just want to make a name for myself, I want to become self-reliant... I have to see this world on my own too...Whenever I have to go somewhere either bhai or Neil takes me there, but for how long will I remain dependent on them...I should know how to do things on my own too, right? "
" Absolutely.. and now I understand very well what you want to say, that's why now leave all the things and do what you want to do...You do your packing to go to Bangalore, and yes, don't worry about your bhai or Neil, both of them will be in a better mood soon and will talk to you...And I don't know about them but I am always with you..." Avni smiles hearing her last line and then Simran kisses her forehead and says goodnight to her and asks her to sleep worry-free.
To be continued.......
Somehow you all might not be interested in today's chapter, but the story doesn't run with just 2 people, right? That is why there was a need to show the point of view of the rest of the family members in the story.
I hope you all liked it ?
