It's morning time...
Avni wakes up and after waking up she checks her phone sees the time where it is 8 o'clock, She feels bad when today she doesn't get Neil's call which before this time he used to call every day just to see her face.
On the other hand, she looks at her door which is closed, even her brother has not come to see her today, today, for the first time in her life, her brother has ignored her....He didn't get so angry even when she told him about her feelings for Neil...but today...?
Thinking about all this, tears well up in her eyes but then sighing she shrugged off all her thoughts, wipes her tears and takes her phone and calls him.
On the other hand, Neil is sitting resting against the headboard of his bed, holding a photo frame of Avni in his hand which has a picture of her with her beautiful smile.
He has become used to admiring her smile every morning, only he knows how he has restrained his heart to not call her.
After the discord that had happened between them last time and the way they had stopped talking, he had never thought that he would ever have to face something like this again, But at this moment he himself is not able to understand what he should say to her on this matter and he might say something wrong to her out of misunderstanding, that is why he does not want to talk to her right now.
Because somewhere he has understood that speaking too much in anger is not good for their relationship.....Earlier he used to think about things after saying them but today for the first time he is thinking again and again why she did this to him.... Did she really not think him worthy enough to understand her and her desires to work somewhere other than them...? And maybe when he gets the answer, he will talk to her.
And that's why he didn't call her today but he can definitely see her happy face in this frame and that's why before starting his day, he is staring at her in that frame to his heart's content and while he was looking at her picture, suddenly his phone rang. He takes his eyes off her picture and looks at the phone where he is getting a call from Avni, seeing that, he takes a breath, he so wanted to pick up her call but instead of picking up the phone or hanging up, he puts the phone on silent and looks away from his phone and then he keeps her photo frame on his side table and goes to the washroom to get ready for his day.
At the Mehra house, Avni tries to talk to Raj after breakfast but Raj ignores her and leaves for office due to which she feels very bad, she has never seen this behavior of her brother towards herself that's why somewhere she's feeling more bad.... Even though her father has given her permission to go, she also needs her brother's permission and she does not want to go by displeasing him.
" Tu use kyon nahi samjhaata, wo teri baat jarur maan jaayegi " These are Raj's words to Neil who is currently sitting in his cabin trying to do some work on his laptop so that he can stay away from Avni's thoughts.... But here this Raj is sitting in front of him, talking to him only about Avni.
At the same time, seeing him so calm on this matter, Raj is also a little surprised, wondering if he is not affected by her departure, Why isn't he trying to stop her?
" Neil, main tujh se kuch keh raha hu... bol n Avi ko wo naa jaaye Bangalore..."
" Bro, Jab wo tumhari baat nahi maan rahi...toh meri to wo waise bhi nahi sunti..." He speaks while keeping his eyes on the laptop and Raj sighs after listening to him.
" Neil joke mat kar... main seriously keh raha hu....."
"Main bhi joke nahi kar raha, sch me wo meri nahi sunti......" Raj sees him on this and Closing his laptop Neil looks at him and continues
" Bro, When she decided all this without consulting you, to main to fir bhi uski life me tumse baad aaya hu, wo meri koi bhi baat kyon maanegi....?" He asks on which Raj sees him
" Baat pehle aur baad ki nahi hai... teri importance kam nahi hai uski life me aur agar tu baat karega to wo teri baat jrur maan jaayegi" Hearing his words that he's important in her life Neil smiles sadly
" aisa nahi hai bro, And the point here is not that which of the two of us is important in her life aur wo kiski baat maanegi...? The thing is that I'm not worthy of giving her any advice, she is mature enough to take her own decisions....She was planning all this and she didn't consider it necessary to tell me anything, So it is clear that he does not need any advice from me, so now I have no right to become an obstacle in her path...."
Raj looks at him at this and somewhere he can clearly feel the disappointment in his words, He is also saddened by this decision of Avni but why he's not showing clearly today ? Why is he giving up so easily today? Earlier he used to fight on every single thing which he did not like, So how is he so calm today? And before Raj can says anything Neil speaks
" And also if I say anything, I will be a hypocrite that What kind of a man I'm that doesn't want to let a woman go out of the house to work, and all that....aur bhai mujhe ye sab nahi sunna...." He speaks while folding his hands pressed against his forehead infront of him
And while listening and understanding his all this words, Raj says
" Toh tum avi ko nahi rokoge?" On this question of Raj, Neil shakes his head no without saying anything. And seeing his this things Raj thinks something and speaks
" Reh loge uske bina ?" At his question, suddenly his heart skips a beat at the thought of being away from her and he looks at him
" Jawab do, reh logo 6 mahine uske bina..." Neil smiles slightly at his question
" yehaan kaun sa hum saath reh rahe the...." Raj sees him
" and when she is ready to stay, then who am I to not accept her decision, Knowing everything about how I am,
that I can't bear her distance, still she has decided to stay away from me, so now I have no right to stop her..." Raj sees him on this and somewhere feel bad for him and Before Raj can says anything, Neil speaks again
" Gyan naa lage to ek baat bolu ?" Seeing him on this Raj nods
" Although I know that you will not remain angry with her for long, but please go and talk to her also support her in her decision, she has taken the right decision." Raj gets shocked at his words and before he can say anything, Neil says
" I understand your concern, and also I know that you will not be able to live here without her that's why you wants to stop her but let her go... For the first time in her life, she has taken a decision on her own, so support her
she must be feeling the need of your support the most at this time and if you get angry like this then she will not be happy with her this achievement, so go and talk to her.....She will be happy."
" Accha! Mujhe ye sab keh raha hai, tu kyon baat nahi kar raha us se....Doesn't she need your support ? Will she be happy if you don't talk to her ? " Neil smiles at this but does not answer.
" Bol, tere naa baat karne se wo khush hogi ? Main teri saari baate samjh raha hu aur theek hai main jaa raha hu us se baat karne... tu bhi saath chal..." Neil sees him on this thinking something
" Main chalta, par mujhe dad ne office bulaaya hai...urgent hai...to main wahi jaa raha hu.....main tujh se baad me milta hu..." he makes excuses and Saying this, he walks out of the cabin without hearing anything further. And Raj keeps looking at him wondering what happened to him...Why is he behaving so strangely... on one hand he is saying her decision is right and on the other hand he is not talking to her...?
But this time he cannot completely blame him for his behavior because he knows that Avni is the reason behind his this behaviour. It is Avni's fault this time.
" baat hui us se ?" Raj asks this question to Avni, after coming from office, he comes straight to her room and sees that she's calling someone on the phone, he understands that she is calling Neil and that is why he asks her this question.
Meanwhile, hearing her brother's voice, Avni looks towards the door where Raj is standing
" Maine puchha baat hui us se " From this question she understands that he is asking about Neil and hence she answers while lowering the phone from her ear.
" Nahi, wo baat nahi kar rahe mujh se..." she answers him looking down and Raj comes inside the room
" Waise main jyada kuch to nahi kahunga, par tumne ye galat kiya hai uske saath...aur is baar main uske saath hu..." he says on which she looks up and sees him.
" Tumne itna sab kuch decide kar liya aur use btaana jruri nahi samjhaa... ek baar ke liye tumne mujh se chize chhupaayi wo theek tha, main shayad tumhe rok deta, par Neil ? Wo to tumhari sari baate maanta hai...us par hi bharosha kar leti...."
Hearing this from him, she realizes how much wrong she has done to Neil, Yes, he understands and accepts all her things, he had suppressed all his desires and obeyed her, then this time tho it was her own wish, how could he refuse her?
She should have told him at least, but what should she do now, she made a mistake but at this moment, seeing her brother in front of her, she thinks of apologizing to him too and that's why without saying anything she straight goes close to him and hugs him keeping her head on his chest
" I'm sorry bhai, I don't know what happened to me, why did I think that you all would not agree to this thing of mine and I don't know why I hid this thing from all of you, especially from Neil, I am feeling very remorseful now, but please bhai I want to do this and I will not be able to do it as long as you remain angry..... I won't be able to go after making you angry... Please forgive your avi...."
Raj hears all this from her, Neil was telling the truth, she needs his support in her decision...Even though she made a mistake by hiding this from everyone, but now whatever has happened has happened....The thing is that he has taken a good decision for herself. Somehow, by working with them, she is not able to achieve the growth that she would now be able to achieve by working somewhere else.
He knows that her thinking is also right for them to some extent, that they will consider her as a kid and will not make her work very much if she joined them, Yesterday in anger he was not able to understand all these things but now after talking to Neil and thinking things from Avni's point of view calmly he has understood everything.
Yes, he is still worried about her: how will she live alone in another city and how will he live here without her, but at the same time, she will learn something new, so it is okay.
By keeping a stone in his heart, he will bear this 6 months of distance from his beloved sister.
And anyway, how far is Bangalore from Mumbai? Whenever he feels like it, he will go and meet her.
" its ok, I am not angry, you prepare yourself to go to Bangalore. Hearing this, Avni moves away from him and looks at him.
" Aap ab gussa nahi ho " on this Raj shook his head in no seeing which Avni smiles with tears
" sch me ? " On this Raj nods with slight smile seeing which her smiles bright
" Thank you bhai " Saying this she again hugs him tightly and he too reciprocates her hug wrapping his hand around her shoulder.
" Kab jaana hai ?" He asks because yesterday he didn't have any interest in to know anything about her new job but now it is important for him to know because before she leaves he will have to make some preparations there.
And there hearing his question Avni separates from him and says while looking at him
" 2 din baad " she says on which he nods ok.
Later in the Mehra house, everyone is happy after Raj agrees to Avni's job, Although everyone already knew that this brother cannot remain angry with his sister for long and will melt in front of her and that is why Ashish and Neela did not even try to convince Raj at first by understanding the things between these two brothers and sisters.
On the other hand, Avni is still continuously calling and messaging him but is not getting any response from him, and that's why she decides that tomorrow morning she will go to his office and talk to him, Sitting at home like this will not work, she will have to meet him and anyway now she has only 2 days here so she will have to convince him before going.
The next morning she goes to Raj's office with him, but after reaching there they come to know from the receptionist that Neil has not come to the office today, and he will not come to the office today either.
Avni gets very disappointed after hearing this, while Raj calls Nil and asks the reason for his not coming to the office on which Neil tells that he has gone out of the city for some office work of his father, i.e. Prakash, and will return by night.
" Avi chalo tumhe ghar drop kar deta hu... Neil aaj nahi aayega..."
" Bhai, please help me n... unse Kaho n mujh se baat kar le..." she said pleading on which Raj sees her
" Avi, Bhale ab main gussa nahi hu tumse par tumne Neil ke saath galat kiya hai aur is baar main use kuch nahi kehne wala... ye tum dono ka matter hai, khud solve karo..." she gets sad hearing this that he will not help her in getting her to talk to Neil.
" Ab chalo tumhe ghar drop kar deta hu..."
" No, aap kha-m-kha paresaan ho jaayenge, main chali jaaungi " she says
" Par avi....
" Bhai mujhe priyal se milne jaana hai...main cab le leti hu " When she says this again, Raj gives her permission to go alone after thinking something and then Avni leaves from there.
" Congrats baby " Priyal says this while hugging Avni out of happiness of getting her job when she comes to meet her at XXX Cafe.
Whereas Avni thanks her with a sad smile and when both of them sit, seeing her face, Priyal understands her sadness and says
" Kya hua, tera sabse bada darr tha ki Raj bhaiya nahi maanenge, ab to wo bhi maan gye...ab kyon sad hai...khusi khusi jaa..."
" Neil...!!!" she says
" What? Neil jiju mnaa kar rahe hai ? I didn't expect this from him..." she said in disbelief
" No, wo mnaa nahi kar rahe hai....
" To fir ?"
" I don't know whether Neil is happy with this thing of mine or not...and what does he want... Saying this, she tells Priyal all that happened on that day when she told everyone about getting her job and how Neil had come to talk to his father to ask him to join her in the office and then when she told them about her job, he hasn't said a word to her since then and is not responding to her calls and messages now.
" Omg, Neil jiju ko itna gussa bhi aata hai....?" Priyal, familiar with Neil's cheerful behaviour, asks this question, on which Avni sighs.
" Wo sirf mujhe hi pta hai ki unhe kitna gussa aata hai..."
" Haan to zaahir si baat hai... jaise unke pyar karne ka tarika sirf tumhe pta hai...to unka gussa bhi to sirf tumhe hi pta hoga...." At this, she pouts
" Accha sun jahan tak mujhe lagta hai ki unhe teri is baat ka bura lgaa hai ki tune unse ye chiz pehle share nahi ki..."
" Obviously, but I had my own reasons..."
" Haan wo to hai but avu maine to pehle hi kaha tha ki atlest Neil jiju ko tu ye btaa deti to accha hota par koi ni ab jo ho gya wo ho gya...ab jaane se pehle unhe mnaane ka kuch soch "
" Kya Karu, baat hi nahi kar rahe hai...mnaanu kaise...?
aaj unke office bhi gyi milne par wo wahaan nahi the...main kya karu mujhe samjh nahi aa raha "
" you should prepare a romantic surprise for him, very romantic." On hearing this, she gives her a look.
" Shayad tumne suna nahi, wo naa baat kar rahe hai aur naa mil rahe hai... to mere romantic suprise ko wo kaise dekhenge " Avni says
" Hmm, ye to hai but romantic se yaad aaya.... Tell me, did anything happen between you two, other than just kissing?" Her eyes get wide at her question.
" Ye kaisa sawal hai..." she tries to sound angry but it does not affect priyal
" Tu jawab de n, Something has happened between the two of you... I mean have both of you progressed even a little bit in your relationship physically?
" What no way... Neil waise nahi hai "
" Yes, because tum waisi nahi ho...he must have suppressed his desires for you because he knows how shy you are....,tubelight." She says hitting her forehead little with her hand
Rubbing her forehead Avni sees her
" Accha to ab sun.... As nothing has happened between you two, now plan something romantic for him and give him a little more of yourself, So that, that poor soul can find the strength to live without you for 6 months." She says mischievously to which she gives him a look.
" huh, Main yehaan tujh se kya baat kar rahi hu ki Neil ko mnaaun kaise aur tum yehaan ye romance ki baate kar rahi ho..."
" Yes because this is the only way you can make him happy now "
" Huh, And for your information, let me tell you that my Neil is not like what you are pointing out, he never wants all that..."
" Yes, because maybe he think you won't be comfortable, that's why
" Is it like that ?" Avni asks
" Of course, and now you don't even want to get married, how many more years will you make that poor soul yearn for you... give him something which he did not expect from you, Trust me, this is the best way to coax him. surrender yourself to him before you leave...no matter how sullen a man is, here he melts..."
Avni listens to all this but suddenly a smile appears on her face.
" Ab is smile ki wajah ?"
" You know, maybe in the future I might think of doing what you've said, but for now, I don't need to woo Neil to coax him." Priyal sees her on this
" And that is why I am proud of my love because Neil is not like that who runs after bodies... Neil's love is such that I cannot describe it in words....wo duniya bhar ki idhar-udhar ki baate karte hai, But when it comes to touching me, he never touches me without my consent nor does he ever do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable...Right now he is angry with me because I have made a mistake but I know that I don't need to woo him to coax him...." Priyal smiles after hearing Neil's praise from her mouth.
" Now, although I also know about these qualities of Neil Jiju, I was saying this because both of you were benefiting in this and after all, a man is a man."
" Yes and he is a man of his principles and values of whom I am proud...I love him just the way he is...he is not like ordinary man, he is very special and that is why he is different from everyone..."
" If Neil Jiju hears these praises for himself from your mouth, it will make his day." Avni smiles at her words.
" Ab unhe mnaane ka kuch soche " after talking all that Avni says pouting on which priyal agree and then leaving her naughty plan aside, she thinks of something else for her.
