It was the time of the night, the moon was shining in the sky. Ashish Mehta came to an isolated place while looking here and there. Someone was standing there in a hoody and its face was covered with the cape. Ashish saw the person and he came to the person while looking here and there. Ashish came to the person. The person forwarded his hand.

Ashish: Pehle paise.

The person signed him to give the packet. Ashish took out the packets and showed them to the person.

Ashish: Pehle paise.

Ashish looked at the person who was standing in front of him. The person didn’t say anything and her smirking lips shown. Ashish heard a sound and a light fell on him. Ashish turned his face and was not able to see because of the light. Two police jeeps came there and the policemen came out of the jeeps. Ashish was shocked to see the man. A policeman clicked Ashish Mehta’s pictures and the drugs packet was in his hands. Ashish was shocked and he looked at the person.

The person took off the cape of the hoddy and it was Avni. Avni smirked and Ashish was shocked.

Ashish: Avni!

Avni: ACP Avni Neil Khanna.

Ashish was shocked. A police officer came and he was wearing the gloves. The officer took the packet from Ashish and Ashish was shocked.

Ashish: Yeh, yeh, yeh mera nahi hai.

Avni smiled and looked away. Avni shook her head and sighed. Avni looked at Ashish who also looked at Avni.

Ashish: Yeh, yeh mujhe kisi ne kaha tha yahan dene ko. Mu, mujhe nahi pata is main kya hai.

Avni raised her eyebrows.

Ashish: Kya, kya hai is main?

Avni smiled.

Avni: Kaise, kaise kar lete hain aap itni achi acting? Kaise aap itni safai se jhot bol lete hain. Kaise?

Ashish was amazed.

Ashish: Main, main jhot nahi bol raha. Sach main mujhe nahi pata is main kya hai. mujhe to paise diye gaye yeh parcel deliver karne ke.

Avni: Story banana to koi aap se sikhe. Yeh to aap ke baye hath ka khel hai. Is main to aap ka koi jawab nahi hai. Is main to app ne P.hd ki hoi hai.

Ashish was surprised.

Avni: Kahani banana main to mahir hain na aap. Jaise aap ne meri Maa ki maut ki jhoti mangharant kahani banai thi.

Ashish was shocked.

Avni: ghar main chor ghus aye. Chori ki aur mera Maa ko maar… maar kar chale gaye.

Ashish was shocked and Avni gulped and her eyes got moist.

Avni: kitni safai se jhot bola tha aap ne. kisi ko shaq tak nahi howa. Aap ko to script writer yaa screenwriter hona chahiye tha.

Ashish was shocked.

Ashish: yeh, yeh tum kya keh rahi ho? Mujhe kuch smajh nahi araha. Neela ki maut to ek murder thi.

Avni shouted: Aur woh murder aap ne kiya tha.

Ashish was shocked.

Avni: aap ne maara meri Maa ko. Meri Maa ko mujhse chinane wale aap hain.

Ashish was shocked.

Ashish: yeh… yeh tum kya, kya keh rahi ho.
Avni: zyada banana ki zarorat nahi hai. Main sach janti hun. Maine khud aap ki aur aap ki maa ki batain suni hain.

Ashish was shocked.

Ashish: Tumhe ghalat fehmi hoi hai.

Avni: koi ghalat fehmi nahi hoi. Maine khud apne kaano se suna hai.

Ashish was shocked.

Avni: Main to bus is din ka wait kar rahi thi ke kab aap koi ghalti Karen aur main aap ko arrest kar ke aap ko saza dilwa sakun.

Ashish: dekho, Avni, beta, tumhe koi ghalat fehmi hoi hai hum ghar chal kar baat karte hain.

Avni: Ab baat nahi hogi. Baat karne ka waqt gaya. Ab insaaf hoga.

Avni forwarded her hand and constable gave the handcuffs to Avni. Ashish was shocked.

Ashish: Avni, nahi. Avni.

Avni was looking at Ashish.

Ashish: Main tumhara papa hun, bete.

Avni was just looking at Ashish.

Ashish: Beta, main aap ka papa hun.

Avni looked at Ashish’s hands and took his hands.

Ashish: Avni, nahi. Avni. Avni, apni dadi ka to soch. Woh akeli hain ghar per.

Avni handcuffed him. Ashish was shocked. Avni looked at Ashish.

Avni: You are under arrest, Mr Ashish Mehta.

Ashish looked at the handcuffs shockingly and then he looked at Avni. Avni was looking at Ashish.

Ashish: Avni, Avni, bete, apni dadi ke bare main to soch. Woh akeli hain ghar per. Woh pareshan ho jaengi. Un ki umar ka to lihaz kar.

Avni: Aap Dadi ki fikar mat Karen. Humare police station pohanchne se pehle woh police station pohanch chuki hongi. You just don’t worry.

Ashish was shocked.

Avni: Aap bus chaliye humare sath. Police station main aap ki khatir dari ka pura intazam kiya gaya hai.

Ashish was shocked.

Avni: Le kar chalo inhe.

The constables came and held Ashish.

Ashish: Avni. Avni, meri baat suno. Avni.

The constable took Ashish to the police jeep and Ashish was calling Avni’s name and was asking her to listen to him. Avni was looking at Ashish. The constables pushed Ashish into the jeep forecefully. Avni was looking at them.

The moon was shining over the police station. Two police jeeps came there and stopped. Avni got down from it and moved to the police station. The staff saluted Avni. Avni came inside and she went to the table. Ashish was brought there.

Ashish: choro mujhe. Maine kuch nahi kiya. Avni, meri baat suna.

Person: Ashish.

Ashish stopped and turned his face. Ashish was shocked to see Dayawanti Mehta in the lock up. Avni also looked there by leaning to the table and keeping her hands on the table.

Avni: Aray Dadi bhi pohanch gai.

Dayawanti Mehta and Ashish looked at Avni.

Avni: Kaisi hain aap, Dadi?

DM: Avni, meri bachi dekh na in logon ne mujhe khamkha main bina kisi jurm ke jail main dala hai.

Avni made a sad face.

Avni: tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch. Bohat afsos howa sun kar.

Ashish and Dayawanti Mehta got angry.

Ashish: Yeh kya badtameezi hai, Avni.

Avni looked at Ashish.

Ashish: koi apni dadi ke sath asa karta hai.

Avni: Mujrimo ke sath jaisa saluk karna chahe waisa hi saluk kiya hai.

Avni stood properly and she came to Ashish who was glaring at her.

Avni: aur jahan tak rahi badtameezi ki baat to maine badtameezi abhi ki kahan hai. Bohat hi tameez se pesh arahi hun aap ke sath. Meri perwarish meri maa ne ki hai aur unho ne mujhe badtameezi karna nahi sikhaya.

Ashish got angry.

Avni: kash thori sikhai hoi to mujhe yeh pata hota ke aap jaiso ke sath kaisa bartao karna hai.

Ashish: kyun kar rahi ho yeh sab?

Avni: aap ko aap ke jurm ki saza dene ke liye.

Avni looked angry.

Avni: Kis ne bhara hai tumhare mann main yeh zehar. Yeh sab jhot hai. Maine Neela ko nahi mara. Han drugs dene ki ghalti ki hai maine.

Avni was looking at Ashish angrily.

Ashish: Pita hun main tumhara. dadi hain woh tumhari. Humain andar karogi. Kuch to rishton ka khayal karo. Kya yeh din dekhne ke liye tumhari parwarish ki thi. Tumhe parha likha kar ACP banaya.

Avni: Aan han.

Avni shook her head.

Avni: Khabardar jo muft ka credit lene ki koshish ki. Main aaj police officer bani hun to sirf aur sirf apne pati aur parivaar ki waja se. Un ke support se. Aap to bohat pehle meri studies band karwa chuke the.

Neil came there and heard Avni.

Avni: meri studies phir se shuru karwai Neil aur Prakash Papa ne.

Neil was listening to Avni. Ashish got angry.

Avni: un ke support se aaj main police officer bani hun. Unho ne financially aur emotional har tarha se mujhe support kiya. Mera Neil aur mera parivaar meri himmat bane. Mujhe itna storng banaya ke aaj main is maukam per pohanch pai hun. Warna aap ne to koi kasar nahi chori thi meri zindagi barbad karne main.

Ashish got angry.

Ashish: Itna zehar… yeh zehar tere Khanna parivaar ke bhara hai na humare khilaf.

Neil get angry and Avni smiled.

Avni: un ke pass itna time nahi hai ke woh aap ke against conspiracy karen.

Neil smiled.

Ashish: Avni, maine Neela ko nahi mara.

Avni: woh to aaj pata chal hi jaye ga. Bus ek ghanta. Aap ka software asa update karenge ke aap ko sab kuch yaad ajaye ga.

Avni looked at police officer and nodded. The man nodded and he signed to others. The constables came and held Ashish and took him from there.

Ashish: choro mujhe. Avni, maine kuch nahi kiya.

Dayawanti Mehta was shocked.

DM: Ashish.

The constables were dragging Ashish from there.

Ashish: Avni, suno meri baat. Maine kuch nahi kiya. Maa, Avni se kaho maine kuch nahi kiya.

Ashish was taken from there and Dayawanti Mehta looked at Avni.

DM: Kaisi beti hai tu. Apne hi pita ko jail main daal rahi hai. Paap charhe ga tujhe.

Avni was looking at them. Ashish’s voice was echoing there. A lady hit the stick on the bars and Dayawanti Mehta got scared and she moved back.

L.C: hat piche.

Avni got upset and she lowered her gaze. Neil looked at Avni and he came to Avni. Avni felt the presence of someone and Avni turned. Avni saw Neil and she got emotional.

Avneil came to Avni’s cabin and Avni walked lifelessly to the table. Avni’s eyes got moist and she sighed while folding her arms. Avni rubbed her arms. Neil saw Avni and he moved to Avni.

Neil: You ok?

Avni looked at Neil who felt bad to see Avni. Avni turned to Neil who also turned to Avni. Neil cupped Avni’s face and shook his head. Avni hugged Neil and kept her head on Neil’s chest. Avni cried and Neil consoled her.

Later, Dayawanti Mehta was sitting on the chair in the confession room and Avni was standing behind the other chair by keeping her arm on the chair. Anvi held the chair and Dayawanti Mehta gulped and she looked afraid. Avni came to the table and she stook by keeping her arms on the table.

Avni: Jis raat Neela Mehta ka murder howa us raat kya howa tha?

Dayawanti Mehta got shocked.

Dm: mu, mujhe, mujhe kya pata. Main, main aur Ashish to ghar per nahi the.

Avni: sach boliye. Aap ka beta to nahi bache ga lekin sach bol kar aap zaror bach sakti hain.

Dayawanti Mehta thought.

Avni: Aap ke bete to bura phase hain kahin asa naa ho ke un ke chakkar main aap bhi bura phas jaen. Kyun ke mujrim ka sath dene wala bhi mujrim hota hai.

Dayawanti Mehta was thinking.

Avni: soch lijiye. Ashish Mehta to jail jaenge hi. Woh drags supply karte pakre gaye hain.

Dayawanti Mehta was shocked.

Dayawanti Mehta got scared. Avni looked at Dayawanti Mehta who gulped.

Avni: Meri Maa ko aap ne mara.

Dayawanti Mehta was shocked.

DM: Kya? Na… na… nahi. Main… nahi.

Avni shouted: Jhot mat boliye. Ashish Mehta ne bayan diya hai ke aap ne Neela Mehta ko mara tha.

Dayawanti Mehta was shocked and she shook her head.

DM: Nahi.

Avni: Han. Ashish Mehta ne bataya hai ke ghusse main aa kar aap ne Neela Mehta ko Dhaka mara tha.

DM: Nahi. Ashish jhot bol raha hai. Neela ko us ne mara tha. Us ne Neela ko Dhaka mara tha.

Avni was looking at the Dayawanti Mehta. Avni sighed. Dayawanti Mehta realized and she was shocked. Dayawanti Mehta looked at Avni.

DM: Woh, who… woh.

Avni: Ab jhot bolne ka koi faida nahi hai. Aap sach bata chuki hain.

Ashish and Dayawanti Mehta was sitting on the chair and they were looking down. Avni was also sitting on the chair and Avni started the recording.

Avni: Ab Bolo.

Ashish: Us din main aur Maa room main khare drugs supply karne ki baat kar rahe the. Mujhe drugs supply karne jana tha. Mujhe pehle se bhi zyada paise milne wale the. Pata nahi kaise Neela ne humari batain sun li. Maine Neela ko jate howe dekh liya tha aur hum us ke peeche gaye.

Avni was looking at Ashish.

Ashish: Neela, tumhe aur Neil ko sach batane wali thi. Maine usay samjhane ki bohat koshish ki.

Avni: kaise koshish ki?

Ashish looked at Avni.

Avni: Un per hath utha kar.

Ashish was looking at Avni who was looking at him angrily.

Avni: Hmm? kaise samjhaya? Un per hath utha kar?

Ashish looked down.

Avni: Aap ne un per hath uthaya tha yaa nahi?

Ashish nodded.

Ashish: Han.

Avni got angry and she clenched her fist. Ashish looked at Avni.

Ashish: Lekin maine Neela ko nahi mara.

Avni frowned.

Ashish: jo kuch bhi howa woh ek accident tha.

Avni got angry.

Ashish: Woh tumhe aur Neil ko sach batane jaa rahi thi. Main to bus usay rok raha tha. Neela khud ko churwane ki koshish kar rahi thi. Achanak se mera hath chuta aur Neela ka pair phisal gaya aur woh gir gayi. Aur phir us ki… us ki maut ho gai.

Avni closed her eyes. Avni sighed and she opened her eyes.

Ashish: yeh sirf ek accident tha.

Avni: Accident? Accident tha?

Ashish and Dayawanti Mehta nodded.

Avni: to us time kyun nahi bataya. Kyun chori ki jhoti kahani banai?

Ashish: Hum bohat dar gaye the. Humain laga ke agar hum ne sach bataya to police humain arrest kar legi.

Avni was looking at Ashish. Neil was standing in the room near the wall and it was mirror. Neil could see Avni and others but no one can see him.

Ashish: Avni, humara yakin kar, bete, jo kuch bhi howa woh ek hadsa tha.

Avni: hadsa? Us hadse ne mujhse meri Maa ko chin liya. Woh hadsa nahi murder tha. Aap ne Maa per hath uthaya. Agar un ka pair na bhi phisalta to bhi aap dono unhe maar hi dete. Un per hath uthana to aaye din ka mamul tha aap ka. Aap unhe mentally aur physically torture karte the. Karte the ya nahi?

Neil was looking at Avni. Ashish looked at Avni.

Avni: Han yaa Naa.

Ashish nodded while looking down.

Ashish: han.

Avni: Maa aap ke liye ek khatra ban gai thi isi liye unhe bachane ke bajaye aap logon ne unhe wahan mare ke liye chor diya.

Ashish was looking down.

Avni: Maa ke sath to aap dono ne ghalat kiya lekin masoom teenage students ko drugs supply kar ke na jane kitne bachon ki zindagi barbad ki hai aap ne. Na jane kitne innocent logon ki jaan li hogi. Aap dono ko apne kiye ki saza zaror milegi.

DM: Maine kuch nahi kiya. Yeh to Ashish karta tha drugs supply. Neela ke sath bhi is ki hatha pai hoi thi.

Ashish: Hathapai nahi hoi thi. Kichatani hoi thi.

DM: Wohi. Is Ashish ki ghalti hai maine kuch nahi kiya aur woh drugs bhi yahi deta tha. Main to borhi ho chuki hun. Main to theek se chal bhi nahi pati. Main kaise drugs dungi logon ko. Maine kuch nahi kiya.

Avni: Jurm main mujrim ka sath dene wala bhi mujrim hota hai. Aap sab kuch chup chap dekhti rahi kyun ke aap ki ankhon per dolat ki pati bandhi thi. Aap ko paise mil raha tha. Neela Mehta ki maut ka sach bhi aap ne chupaya. Ashish Mehta ke har gunnah main aap un ki barabar ki sathi hain. Aap ko bhi saza milegi.

Ashish and Dayawanti Mehta were shocked and they looked at Avni who was looking at them. Avni got and she sighed. Avni turned and she moved to the room. Neil looked at Avni. Ashish and Dayawanti Mehta were calling her. The constables came to them.

Neil: Avni.

Neil held Avni’s arm and he pulled Avni into his arms. Neil hugged Avni who cried. Neil kissed Avni’s hair. Neil tried to console Avni.

It was the time of the night, the moon was shining in the sky and Avni was standing in the balcony. Avni was looking at the sky and her eyes were moist.

Avni: Maa, aaj to khushi hain na aap. Aaj aap ke qatilon ko maine salakhon ke peeche pohancha diya hai. Aap ko ab insaaf milega. Ab to aap khush hain na?

The star was twinkinling. Avni smiled and tears fell from her eyes.

Avni: Bohat ajeeb si feeling hai. Ek ajeeb sa khalipan mehsoos ho raha hai. sab kuch theek ho gaya hai phir bhi kuch kami lag rahi hai.

Neil cupped Avni’s face.

Neil: Woh is liye kyun ke tum ne apna motive achieve kar liya hai. Tum free ho gai ho is liye tumhe asa lag raha hai. Exams jab khatam hote hain tab bhi humain khalipan sa lagta hai kyun ke ek dum se routine change ho jati hai. hota hai na asa?

Avni: really?

Neil cupped Avni’s face and nodded. Avni smiled with moist eyes. Neil kissed Avni’s forehead and then they looked at the sky. Tears fell from Avni’s eyes and she cried.

They stood there for sometime and then Avni looked at Neil and thought. Neil’s phone rang and Avneil moved away. Neil took out his phone.

Neil: Vijay ki call hai. Main ek minute main baat kar ke aya.

Avni nodded and Neil smiled. Neil went from there. Avni was looking at Neil. Avni turned her face and she sighed. Avni thought.

Avni: Neil, tum kitne badal gaye ho. Lagta hi nahi hai ke tum wahi Neil ho jo mujhe college main mile the.

Avni smiled and she thought.
Avni was standing at the balcony. Neil came there and his phone was in his hands. Neil kept his phone in his pocket.

Neil: Room main chalen.

Avni nodded and she sighed. Neil cupped Avni’s face.

Neil: Zyada mat socha. Jaldi sab kuch normal ho jayega. Tum to mujhse zyada smajhdar ho. Mature ho. Maine to jo kuch bhi sikha hai tum se aur dad se sikha hai. Tum hi ase behave karogi to kaise chalega.

Avni smiled.

Avni: Ab to tum mujhse se zyada mature behave karte hain. Tum ne mujhe pamper kar kar ke stubborn bana diya hai.

Neil smiled.

Neil: tumhari company ka asar hai.

They smiled.

Neil: tum mujhse zyada mature ho, Avni. Bus kabhi, kabhi situation asi hoti hai ke humain kuch smajh nahi araha hota ke kya karna hai.

Avni smiled.

Neil: It’s normal.

Avni smiled. Neil smiled. Neil kissed Avni’s forehead and then they looked at each other. Avni was looking at Neil and she thought something.

Avni: Neil, aaj agar main tumse kuch mangon to tum mujhe doge?

Neil nodded.

Neil: Kaho.

Avni looked at Neil for a few seconds.

Avni: make me yours.

Neil was surprised.

Avni: Please.

Neil was just looking at Avni who was also looking at him.

Neil: are you sure about it?

Avni nodded.

Avni: Yes, I am.

Avni and Neil were looking at each other. Suddenly, Neil picked up Avni in a bridal style and they were looking at each other. Neil took Avni to the room and he kept Avni stand in the room near the bed. Neil looked at Avni. Neil moved away and turned. Avni looked at Neil who went to the door of the balcony and Neil shut it. Avni understood why Neil went there. Neil shut the curtains and then he went to the window. Neil shut ka window and curtains. Neil looked at Avni who was looking at him.

Neil came to Avni and he took away the hair from Avni’s face lovingly and Avni closed her eyes. Neil cupped Avni’s face who looked at him. Neil kissed Avni’s forehead and dragged his nose to Avni’s nose. Neil kissed Avni’s nose and caressed his cheeks to Avni’s cheeks who closed her eyes and Neil kissed her cheeks. Neil looked at Avni who opened her eyes. Neil leaned to Avni who shut her eyes and Neil kissed Avni. The moon hid behind the moon and the two souls united.
