Chapter 79:

At the time of the night, the venue was decorated beautifully. Everyone was happy and smiling. All the members of the family were present except Avneil and Arnav. Neela maa was smiling and looking for Avneil. She looked at her hand and realised that her bangles are missing. She frowns and looked around then she remembered that she went to the room and removed them. She hits her head and talks to Ashish then she goes.

On the other side, Arnav was finding Avni and Neil who were talking in the room. Neela maa was about to climb the stairs and her sandal broke.

Nm: tch.

She looked at her feet and goes. On the other side, Avni and Neil were talking.

Neil: Avni, in all these years, he could not forget that incident then how can you expect that he will forget that in the future. Tell them the truth that Aman was a drug addict and he was responsible for that accident.

Avni: Neil, talk slowly wh...

They heard the sound of the door and turned their face. They were shocked to see the person. Neil looked at Avni whose eyes were at the person.

Avni: mamma.

Neela maa was standing by holding the door she was in shock and her eyes were teary. Avni and Neil looked at each other. Neela maa shook her head, she turns to go. Avni and Neil were shocked.

Neil: Neela maa.

Avni fastly goes to Neela maa, she holds her mother's arm, takes her back and locked the door. Neela maa looked at her.

Nm: Avni, open the door. Let me, go. Today, I will not leave Aman, he... He is a drug addict.

Avni keeps the finger on her lips.

Avni: sshhh, mamma please talk slowly and listen to me.

Nm: what is left to listen to? I have heard everything. Aman deceived us. In front of him, Ashish accused you, he always insults you even we all made you responsible for Riya's accident and he silently heard everything. And you, Avni, why you took the blame at yourself.

Avni was looking at her.

Neil: Neela maa, calm down. Please listen to us.

Nm: Is there anything left to hear? I failed as a mother, my son went on the wrong path and I could not be able to know about that. No, Aman's reality should come in front of everyone. I can't let him ruin Kareena's life. I will tell the truth to all.

Neela maa was about to go.

Neil: please, Neela maa, calm down. Aman was a drug addict but he left it years ago.

Neela maa frowns.

Nm: wh...

Avni: Aman is innocent. That was just an accident.

Nm: wh, what you want to say. Tell me the truth, I want to know the complete truth.

Avni looked at her then she looked at Neil who nods. Avni told her the truth to Neela maa who cried and sits on the bed. Avni looked at her.

Avni: mamma, Aman is innocent. He, himself don't know that we lost Riya because of his carelessness. Trust me, mamma, it was an accident.

Neela maa looked up at Avni. She gets up.

Nm: to save, Aman, you took all the blame at yourself.

Avni was looking at her.

Nm: What are you made of, Avni? What not, Ashish said to you but you never disclosed the reality. Why? To save, our son?

Avni: he is also my brother, mamma. He is my Aman.

Neela maa hugged her and they cried.

Nm: please forgive me, please. I also misunderstood you.

Avni cried.

Nm: please forgive me.

Neil wiped his tears. Neela maa wiped her tears and breaks the hug.

Nm: you suffered a lot but not anyone. Reality should be disclosed and I will disclose it. I will tell the truth to all.

Avni and Neil were shocked. She stopped Neela maa.

Avni: no, mamma, please don't do this. Years have passed please don't dig out the past it will ruin everything. Aman's life will ruin. My all efforts will go in vain. I have hidden this truth for a long please let it in a wrap.

Nm: but Avni.

Avni: Mamma, try to understand, today Aman is going to start a new life. If the truth comes out then his life will destroy, our whole family will suffer. Please, mamma, I beg you please don't do this. Please.

Neil: Avni is right, Neela maa. I also want the truth to come out but this is not the right time. Aman and Kareena are going to start a new life it will affect their life.

Neela maa looked at Avni.

Nm: and what about you?

Avni: I am fine and happy with Neil and my perfect family. Mamma, I am married now and away from Mehta house so I can manage. Don't worry about me, I am fine.

Ashish was in the corridor he called Neela maa. Avni, Neil and Neela maa heard that. Avni keeps the finger on her mouth. She joined her hands. Neela maa shook her head.

Avni: please think about Aman.

Nm: I am your mother also. I can't see you suffering.

Neela maa was about to go. Avni joined the hands in front of her.

Avni: please, please mamma. Please.

Avni holds Neela maa's hand and keeps it on her head. Neela maa and Neil were shocked. Neil never saw Avni like this.

Avni: you have my swear.

Nm: Avni.

Avni: Swear to me and promise me you won't tell the truth to anyone.

Nm: Avni, what is this stupidity? Leave my hand.

Avni: first promise me.

Neela maa looked at her emotionally.

Nm: ok, I promise but if next time, Ashish insults you then I will not sit quietly. I am your mother and I will wipe this mark of the murderer from your head.

Avni looked at her. They heard the knock on the door and flinched.

Ashish: Neela?

Avni and Neela maa looked at each other then Avni and Neil looked at each other. Avni signed Neela maa to remain quiet. They wiped her tears and Neela maa goes to open the door and turns to Avneil then she goes. Avni and Neil looked at each other. Ashish was going he stopped and turned to Neela maa.

Ashish: what were you doing? Guests are downstairs what they will think.

Neela maa looked down.

Ashish: you had cried.

Avni and Neil were shocked. They heard them.

Nm: wo, actually.

Avni fastly goes to them and Neil comes behind her. Ashish saw them.

Avni: aaa, Actually, we recalled my wedding day and cried to recall my farewell. Right mamma.

Neela maa smiled fakely.

Nm: ya, yaa.

Ashish: you both can cherish your memories later. Guests are waiting downstairs.

Neela maa was about to say but Avni holds her arm.

Avni: we, we are coming. Just do the touch up else people will start gossiping.

Ashish: come fast.

Avni nods. Ashish goes. Avni looked at Neela maa who goes to the room. Avni and Neil looked at each other.

Later, they attend the wedding and shower flowers at the bride and groom. Avni was standing with Sonia and Neil was talking to Shweta away from them. Ladies were admiring Avni.

Lady: Avni is looking so beautiful.

Lady 2 smiles and agreed with her.

Lady: she is looking like a bride.

Lady 2: yes, she earned her own money so she can buy what she want.

Lady: yaa but she is also sweet in nature. She and Neil looked so good together. I wish, they live happily together and God take off the evil eyes from them.

They smiled. Avni and Sonia were talking and showering flowers at Aman and Kareena then Arav called Sonia she goes.

A lady was standing with Maddy. She saw Avni.

Lady: the wedding is of Kareena or Avni.

Maddy looked at her.

Lady: look at your daughter-in-law she got ready like a bride.

Maddy looked at Avni.

Lady: don't mind, Maddy but Avni's dress is more heavier than Kareena's. She is looking more beautiful than Kareena. The wedding is of your daughter Kareena and Avni is getting the limelight.

Maddy gets angry.

Maddy: one minute.

Maddy goes to Avni and holds her arm.

Maddy: what is your problem?

Avni frees her arm slowly.

Avni: what did I do, Bua?

Neil saw that and he excused Shweta and comes to them.

Maddy: don't act smart. What was the need to wear this heavy dress? Did you forget that it is Kareena's wedding? I know why you are doing this because you are jealous of Kareena.

Neil was listening to her.

Avni: Bua Ji, Neil gifted me this dress. It was his wish that I...

Maddy: just shut up. Go and remove your jewellery.

Avni: I am sorry, Bua Ji but I can't do this. I can't hurt Neil. He wanted me to get ready like this so I did what he want. Fulfilling your husband wish is not a bad thing even it is good for a healthy relationship.

Maddy was about to say, she again holds Avni's arm but Neil comes to them.

Neil: what happened?

Maddy: nothing.

Maddy jerks Avni's arm and goes. Avni looked at Neil and smiled. Neil side hugged her he takes the flowers from Avni's hand and showered at the bride and groom. Avni smiled. She also showered the flowers. Neil looked around and kissed Avni's cheek. Avni widens her eyes and looked around. She looked at Neil who winked. Avni blushes and Neil sighed that Avni's mood got changed but for how long, don't know. Neil and Avni looked at Aman and Kareena and showered the flowers at them. Avni was sad and hurt but she covered her all sorrows with a smile for Neil and Aman.
