#####

Scene starts in AvNeil's bedroom

It was late night& AvNeil were sleeping until suddenly avni started tossing in bed

A-no...plz do...door hato...paas mat aao...
Plz chodo muje...nahi...nahi...
No!!!

Avni woke up with a jolt, sweating profusely
After  while, her breathing eased out& she sighed on noticing her surroundings- she was in their bedroom but her sudden scream had woken up neil too
He got up at once

N-avni?
Tum theek ho?

Avni faced him& clung to him at once, resting her head on his chest
Neil started to rub her back to calm her while silent tears made their way down her eyes

A-im sorry mene tumhari neend tod di

N(while rubbing her back)-sshhh
Its ok
Just relax
Tumhe phirse wohi sapna aaya?

Avni shut her eyes& nodded positively while tears trickled down her cheeks

A-men bohot koshish karti hu neil par roz raat wo moment muje yaad aa jata h
Aur uss scene ke saath yaad aate h sabke taunts& accusations
Sabko sara sach bataya par kisi ne believe nahi kiya, muje outright blame kia aur baki sabne haa men haa milayi

Yaha tak ki maa papa ne bhi society men apni izzat ki fiqr kari- meri ek bhi baar nahi suni
Tumhe yaad h guests ne kya kaha tha wo bhi shaadi ke phero se kuch minutes pehle hi?

N-haa
Kese bhool sakta hu jo vidyut ne kia& uske baad guests ne tumhare character pe sawaal uthaya
Aur jo actually hua tha wo sunke toh aur bhi disgusting reponse tha-
Ke vidyut tumhara fiancée h toh ye sab uska haq h
Ye sab sochte hue bhi muje ghinn aati h (fuming)

A-aur maa papa ne kuch nahi kaha
I felt so disgusted at that moment- guests had such disgusting mentality as if i was vidyut's property& he has authority to treat me the way he wants
Meri consent ka toh kisi ne socha bhi nahi
Uss waqt muje laga ke esi zindagi jeene se toh acchi maut hogi

N(placing finger on her lips)-sshhh
Esa phir kabhi mat kehna
You know i love you, right?

Avni nodded her head

A-i love you too
Aur uss waqt kisi ne mera saath dia toh wo sirf tum
Hum tab almost strangers hi they but still you saved me

Avni's eyes again teared up& neil wiped them with his thumb

N-sshhh
I know its difficult but we need to get over this, haina?
Abhi so jao- kal counselling ke liye jana h
In fact, kal saturday h toh mene kafi kuch soch rakha h& wo kya, ye tumhe subah pata chalega

A-ok
Meri ek request puri karoge?

N-mere bas men hua toh zarur karunga

A-can i sleep on you tonight?

For a moment, neil was taken aback by her statement-when they had got married, avni was hesitant to even accept a forehead kiss but as months passed, she became comfortable with hug, forehead kiss& cuddling at night- she had started to trust neil

But this was for first time when she wanted to lay totally over him which meant they were more closer than before
Avni shook him& he came out of his thought

A-will you be comfortable?

N(caressing her cheek)-of course i will
Come(opening his arms)

Avni lay upon him& as he caressed her hair, it took her just few minutes to fall in deep sleep& neil kissed her hair

N(to himself)-its been 7months to that incident
I know ye easy nahi h par men haar nahi manunga
We will continue your counselling sessions bcz i believe that everything will be fine& you will eventually get over that frightful incident

Flashback, 7 months ago-

Neil got off a cab& entered a house which was decorated beautifully with colorful lights
Neil scanned the location& finally found the person he had come to meet
He moved in that direction& finally faced the person

N-hey dude!
Finally you are getting married
Im really happy for you

V-oh buddy!
Finally you got the time to come
Thanks for your wishes
Aur haa- tuje saare functions attend karne padenge
Men puri marriage album scan karunga

N-ok boss as you say

Vidyut laughed at the way neil enacted like a loyal employee
Vidyut &neil were best friends since childhood
Neil had returned from Toronto, Canada to attend vidyut's wedding

N-by the way, where's your fiancée?

V-she will be here pretty soon
Shes really young& is naturally beautiful so she wont need tons of makeup

N-really young matlab?

V-shes just 19 yrs old

N(slightly surprised)-oh
Your parents are ok with this age gap?

V-oh yes of course
You know na ke sheher ki ladkiya independent, ambitious& confident hoti h, having their own viewpoint but mere parents ko ye sab drama nahi chahiye ghar men- they want a housewife type of daughter in law jo job karne ke tantrums na kare bcz my family just wants a grandson with a life time maid at their service
And shes from a small nearby village& for people like them, age is just a no.& level of education doesnt really matter when you are gonna be a housewife
And as for me, i just want some frequent fun(smirks)

Neil was slightly surprised to know that avni was just 19& her parents were getting her married
He was also pretty angry after hearing vidyut& his parent's viewpoint about importance of women in their family but he didnt question anyone bcz he didnt want to spoil the happy celebration atmosphere

Soon a girl came downstairs, clad in a beautiful lehenga with ornaments which were complimenting her beauty even more

V-neil meet my fiancee avni
Avni, meet neil-my childhood bff

N-hello
Nice meeting you

A-hello
Same here

N-you look beauiful

A(smiling)-thank you

Soon the function began& everyone was enjoying& talking
But there was someone who was putting on a fake smile-pretending to be happy
It was none other than the bride avni herself
But nobody noticed it, except for neil

N-i so wish i could stop this wedding
Avni's eyes clearly show that neither she is happy or she is ready for the upcoming situations
But if i try to stop this wedding, there will be alot of unnecessary drama& gossiping& maybe in comparison to vidyut's family, avni's family might have to face much worse circumstances

*****

A week later-

It was the day of the wedding& avni's cousins were making her ready for the same
Soon they were done

Cousins-avni aaj tu itni sundar lag rahi h ke jiju toh dekhte hi flat hojayenge

They tried to tease avni by mentioning about vidyut but avni paid no attention
She was sitting on the chair silently with no expression or reaction- like a lifeless statue but her cousins didnt notice it
Suddenly, the sound of music could be heard which meant that the baraat had arrived
Her cousins went out in excitement, leaving avni alone in the room
A lone tear slipped down her eye but she wiped it

A-ab rone ka koi faida nahi h
Na pehle koi chamatkaar ho sakta tha
Na ab koi chamatkaar ho sakta h
Aaj raat jo dard hoga usse sehne ke liye muje shakti mile

Avni folded her hands& closed her eyes in prayer
After few mins, she heard the sound of door opening
She thought her cousins have come to take her downstairs so she covered her face with veil

The sound of footsteps became more prominent but avni became worried bcz there was no sound of anklets
She peeped through the veil, only to find a manly figure

Avni was about to ask who the person was but her veil was lifted& the person in front of her looked at her with lusty expressions

Avni got up from the chair& started moving away from vidyut

A-vidyut ji aap yaha?
Aap plz neeche jayiye
Agar kisi ne hume shaadi se pehle hi saath men dekh lia toh bohot bada scene create hojayega

V-men nahi aata but i couldnt stop myself
Im really excited to discover you so lets do it right now
Vese bhi humare beech ye sab abhi ho ya aaj raat- baat toh ek hi h
Aur darna mat-mere bohot dost h baraat men
Wo busy rakhenge humari families ko 1/1.5 ghante tak
Tab tak men tumhe dil kholke enjoy karunga (smirking)

With that, he threw avni on the bed& hovered over her, while holding her wrists& avni was trying to free them from his hold but she failed in front of her manly weight
Her wrists started bleeding bcz the bridal glass bangles on her wrists were broken bcz of the constant friction& pressure put on them

Whether before or after marriage, this incident would leave a long impact on avni's heart bcz it wont change the fact that vidyut tried to force avni in bed& avni was trying to get rid off him but when her energy to fight was finished, she prayed for someone to arrive& save her

Soon her wishes were granted bcz even in all the noise caused from the band people in the baraat, neil had heard avni's screams coming from her room
He didnt waste a second& pushed the door really hard, causing the lock to break

Neil barged in& upon entering, he saw vidyut hovering over avni- putting all his weight on her while she was struggling to get of his hold
He was using his manly body weight on her petite figure
Vidyut looked up& was frustrated on seeing neil at the door
Unknowingly, his hold on avni was loosened& making use of the moment, avni escaped vidyut's hold
She ran& hugged neil tightly

A(shivering)-plz save me
He tried to force himself on me
Plz believe me

N-relax avni
I saw everything on my own& i believe you
You dont need to marry this beast, whom i once assumed as my close friend

V-neil you are breaking our childhood friendship for this C grade, illiterate, village girl?

N-vidyut dont you dare to say a word against avni

V-kyu?
Bada pyaar aara h uspe?
Taras aagya kya iski gareebi pe?
Arre isse toh thankful hona chahiye tha ke iss jesi village ladki ka rishta mujse hora h wo bhi bina dowry liye
Warna mere jesa ladka toh chirag leke dhundhne
Aur mene jo kia wo mera haq h

Neil gave vidyut a disgusted look after which vidyut went out

A(scared)-now he will take revenge by turning the tables& claiming that i tried to do all that with him

Or even worse- we are alone in this room so he will cook up a fake story about our affair
Nobody will listen to us& guests will badmouth my family

N-dont worry
I will handle them
And if they dont believe us, then i will think of another solution

Now we will also go out but before that, you give me the first aid box
Your wrists need to be aided- they are bleeding terribly

Soon neil aided her wounds& they went out
As presumed by avni, vidyut had turned the tables& claimed that neil& avni were having a secret affair& vidyut refused to marry avni& left the location with his parents
This was followed by a huge drama
But when the guests questioned avni's upbringing& pointed fingers on her character, neil lost his cool

Ashwin& Amrita-humari izzat toh mitti mem mil gayi
Beti ki zindagi barbaad hogyi
Ab kon karega isse shaadi?

Suddenly a familiar sound was heard

N-men karunga avni se shaadi
Meri family ko bhi koi aitraaz nahi hoga

Ashwin& Amrita didnt think for even once& got AvNeil married while avni again, didnt have any say in this situation too

Although she knew neil wasnt like vidyut& respected women, she was still worried about the night& real reaction of neil's family bcz he might have claimed his family as supportive to get rid off the critical situation they were stuck in

After performing few rituals, AvNeil got married but since neil's family was in Canada& apart from vidyut's family, there was nobody else in India whom neil knew so he took her to his condo in his car

A-ummm
Muje kisi ne bataya tha ke aapki family Canada men rehti h
Toh hum kaha jayenge abhi?

N-as of now toh mere condo jayega
Phir jis nearest day ki tickets milengi uss din Canada

A- how do you know that i can travel abroad?

N-bcz i know you have a passport

A-haa wo mene itne saal pese save kiye they toh uss change wale 10, 20, 50 ki currency ko heavy amount ki currency se replace kardia& ghar men sabse chupkar banwaya passport

N-you are really brave ke ese conservative atmosphere men rehte hue bhi tumne itna bada kaam akele karlia
I promise ke tumhe esi conservative family men phir kabhi Nahi rehna padega
You are officially an adult& have full right to live your life on your own terms

A(worried)- does this mean you will take me to Canada, get me a job there& then leave me?
Plz dont do that
Ive never stayed alone in my village
How will i manage in a whole new country?

N-arre nahi baba
Relax
I wont do anything like that

Avni sighed in relief

*****

Condo-

AvNeil entered& neil switched on the lights

N-men fresh hoke aata hu& tum bhi apne luggage se koi night dress nikal lo

Avni gave him a small smile& while neil went to freshen up, avni sat on the bed silently
While neil was trying to make avni feel comfortable all this while, she was lost in another land

The only thing which was roaming around in her mind was that it was there first night& no matter what happened few hrs ago, avni had to be an ideal wife& fulfil the desires of her husband

Its what she was told since childhood-no matter how painful it may be, her consent didnt matter& this was the hardest thing for avni to digest
She didnt want to loose her dignity by naming it as a rule of marriage

She wanted her partner to respect her consent, to get adjusted with eachother, to let love blossom between them& then move further, when both of them were ready for it

But the harsh reality was that be it for the marriage proposal, her approval about whether she wanted to get married or her being ready for the first night- she just had to say yes& didnt have the authority to question anyone

After some time, neil came out in his pjs& t shirt
He saw avni silently sitting on the bed, lost in her thoughts

He went a bit closer& saw that her body was shivering& he knew the reason too- she was still under the shock of whatever happened in the past few hrs& it was obvious too
Neil slowly sat in front of avni& she immediately flinched

N-avni relax
Its me
Accha i told you to take out your clothes
Nikaale kyu nahi?

A-wo...actually...it...its our fir...first night so...

Neil sighed on understanding what she wanted to say
Neil lifted her face by her chin& avni gave a faint smile but neil knew it was fake bcz her eyes showed extreme nervousness
Neil held her soft hands in his palms& rubbed them with his thumbs in circular motion

N-avni i know that you are only acting to be ok bcz i can see how scared you are from inside
I know that we got married under strange circumstances- neither do we know eachother well nor do we love eachother

But all i want to say is that you dont need to be scared from me- im not like vidyut
Whether we all in love in future or not, but neither will i ever leave your side nor i will force you for anything
And yes-dont worry about my family
They will accept you happily

A-even after knowing our age gap& my familybackground?

N-yes
Bcz all these dont matter to them
They believe that we should live in the present- not in conservative mindset

Now you take your clothes& freshen up
Tomorrow i will search& see when can we get our tickets for Canada

Avni freshened up& later slept off bcz of exhaustion while neil called up his family& told them what happened& they listened to him calmly, while neil saw avni sleeping with her mouth slightly open
She looked uber cute

N-mene kabhi nahi socha tha vidyut itna gira hua insaan h
Avni is just 19
Parents ke hote hue bhi uski life orphan jesi hojayegi

B-tera matlab kya h tillu?

N-vidyut ki family ne apne so-called izzat bachane ke liye shaadi tod di& jab relatives avni ke parents ko taunt karne lage toh unhone usse abandon kardia

Humari baaton pe bilkul believe nahi kiya kyuki vidyuthad turnedthetables& manipulated everyone about avni
Avni ko ek ese crime ke liye blame kia gaya jisme uski koi galti hi nahi

Isiliye mene usse shaadi kari& strangely, uske parents ne ek bhi baar nahi socha, na uski consent puchi& seedha haa kardi- as if unhe koi bojh utarne ki jaldi thi

S-tillu tune theek kia
Ye villages& choti choti towns men esi cheeze bohot common h
Jo hua wo galat tha par iska ek positive point bhi h- avni ko vidyut ki asliyat shaadi se pehle pata chal gayi

Agar baad men pata chalta toh shayad wo aaye din domestic violence ki victim banti& jesa tune bataya h uss hisaab se toh wo divorce nahi le paati bcz koi support nahi hota

N-absolutely right bebe

P-uska khaas dhyaan rakhna hoga- especially tuje tillu

N-definitely dad
Thankfully avni had got a passport made for herself which she kept secretly from everyone toh men kal humare tickets book karunga& jis date ki milengi, hum aajayenge

P-badia h
Hume tum dono ka intezaar rahega
Abhi tu jaake soja
Waha toh bohot raat hogyi hogi
Good night

N-ji dad
Good night

Neil hung up& moved towards the bed
He was about to take a pillow& move towards the sofa but avni held his wrist in sleep& hugged it, after sealing it between her soft hands

Neil smiled, lay beside her& unknowingly, started staring at her when suddenly avni moved closer& snuggled into him& neil started caressing her hair
Soon, he too, fell asleep

So thats all for now
