His eyes were flowing with tears seeing her in that condition. He remembers his words he immediately rushes towards temple .
He bends infront of God and prays by folding hands with closed eyes while tears were flowing from his eyes.
Neil :- please god. Nothing should happen to teju. What ever I said was in frustration and I knew I did wrong with her.

Teju:- I thought you want this only. I thought you will feel happily if I went away from your life.
Neil:- seriously teju. This is what you understood about me. How can you understand my behaviour when myself I don't knew why I am behaving like this.
Do you remember you and me used to roam 24 hours in our childhood. After that some where I was responsible for your parents death( teju nodes her head as no and about to speak but Neil stops her and says) .
I was teju. While uncle was driving I am so stupid I demanded him to get me ice cream when he refused as it's raining I got angry and in that I turned steering which caused him to loose control and your parents died on spot.
In that situation also uncle saved me by pushing me out from car. Dad and mom didn't talked to me for months but then also you never stopped loving me, this made me more guilt and slowly I started dripping into depression. I started behaving rude to you so that you will scold me and I can come over my guilt but your love keep on increasing on me while my guilt didn't allowed me to sleep peacefully.
Because of this only I don't knew when I started to think I am hating you and said those words to you
After this much all you didn't get angry on me. Instead of that you were cursing your self for ruining my life.
He smiles and even you were ready to divorce me thinking that I will get happiness from this.
Why? Why teju why you love me so much.
Teju:- I don't knew bava. I just love you. If you ask reason I can't say anything. I can just say I love I can't even show you how much I loving you.
