Avni is alone in her room & riya is waiting outside for neil.
Avni gains consiousness & slowly opens her eyes.
Firstly she scanned her surroundings & got to know that she is in hospital.

AVNI'S POV:-

I opened my eyes slowly & i feel some pain in my hand... Oh ya i cutted my veins. But still i m alive. Why?? Why they don't let me live my life or even they don't let me die. I am just fed up from all this..

END POV:

There goes my heart beating,
Cause u r the reason..
I'm loosing my sleep,
Plz come back now..

Avni: Sahi kehte hain ki aap kisi se kitna bhi gussa ho jao, lekin jab woh insaan aap se dur chala jata hai tabhi aapko uski value pata chalti hai😢

There goes my mind racing,
And u r the reason..
That i'm still breathing,
I'm hopeless now..

Avni: I remember when we r in college & i was very angry at you..
She said remembering those beautiful memories & smiling sadly😌

FLASHBACK:-

Neil: Jaan.. jaan plz listen to me.. listen to me na jaan.. i m just..
He said while holding avni's hand who is running away from him..

But avni is very angry at him & she started hitting his shoulder & pushing him back.

Avni: What.. what jaan haan. Go na.. you just go & flirt with that tiya. She is very beautiful & intelligent. Hain na.. & ya her fashion sense is also very nice.
She is..

Neil: Avni..i m sorry na yaar.. i just thought to make u jealous & see i succeeded😏
He said with a naughty smirk.

Avni: Jealous my foot.. who said i m jealous & that too with that stupid tiya. She is so dumb & only a blind can call her beautiful.

Neil: Avni.. avni.. aag.. aag lagi hai avni🔥

Avni: Aag.. kahan lagi hai aag.. neil..

Neil: Tumhare dil mein😂

Avni: Kya??

Neil: Haan.. accept it that u r jealous avni..

Avni: Neilll..😠 i am not gonna talk to you. Just get lost!
With that avni stormed out from there. But neil shouted..

Neil: I love u avni😘

FLASHBACK ENDS:

Avni smiles remembering her cute fights with neil. But then reality strikes her & she becomes sad again..

I'd climb every mountain,
And swim every ocean..
Just to be with you,
& fix what i've broken..
Oh,'cause i need u to see,
That u r the reason..

Avni: Taare aasman mein hi chamakte hain..
Badal itne door hain, phir bhi baraste hain..
Hum bhi kitne ajeeb hain, tum dil mein rehte ho, aur hum tumse milne ko taraste hain...
She smiles sadly😌

There goes my hand shaking,
Cause u r the reason..
My heart keeps beating,
And i need u now..

Avni: I love u neil & i will do anything for our love even if i have to sacrifice my life..
A lone tear escaped from her eyes & she slept due to the dose of medicines.

If i could turn back the clock,
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark..
I'd spend every hour, of every day keeping you safe...

Neil reached hospital & saw riya standing near the reception.

Neil: Ri..riya.. avni.. avni kahan hai? she is fine na. Where is she.. tell me riya..where is my avni??

Riya: Neil.. wo..woh avni.. actually avni ne..
She explained everything to neil.

Riya: Kisi ko is baat ka idea nhi tha ki avni itna bada step utha legi. Woh to ek needle se bhi darti thi lekin pata nhi kaise usne yeh sab..

Her eyes filled with tears while saying her sister's condition.

Whereas Neil left shattered listening all this. His love, his life, his avni took such a huge step. He can't even imagine from which situation she was going through. Neil never let a single scratch came on avni, he always protects her but now he is feeling guilty. Guilty for not being able to protect her, to keep her safe. And now he is gaining a lot of courage to go near her, he can't see her in that condition. He is taking small steps & finally he reached avni's room.

He takes a deep breath & opens the door. He saw her sleeping with a bandage in her left hand.
His heart pierced seeing her condition. His eyes filled with tears😢😢
He goes & sat near her & carressed her hair slowly.

Neil: Jaan..
He speaks slowly trying to control his emotions.

Avni opened her eyes listening his voice. For a few seconds, she tried to recognize that her neil is actually there & she is not dreaming. But neil can't control his emotions & hugged her immediately. Avni also hugged him back.

Avni (still in the hug): Ne..il..
She said slowly, her eyes filled with tears but her face have a satisfaction. Satisfaction of finally seeing her love after so many days.

Neil: Shhh.. avni kuch kehne ki zarurat nhi hai tumhe..

Both remains silent coz silence is sometimes the best answer...

They broke the hug after few mins & neil holded her face & makes her look in his eyes.

Neil: Jaan.. why u did it?? why? Ye karne se pehle tumne ek baar bhi mere bare mein nhi socha.. agar tumhe kuch ho jata to main to mar..
Before he could complete avni kept her finger on his mouth.

Avni: Aisa kabhi mat bolna neil.. main tumhare bina nhi jee paungi.

Neil: Accha.. tum kuch sun bhi nhi sakti, lekin tumne ek baar bhi socha ki tumhe is halat mein dekh kar mujhe kaisa lagega..

Avni: I m sorry neil.. i m sorry.
She lowered her head while crying badly..

Neil wiped her tears..

Neil: Jaan plz don't cry.. i can't see u like this. Tum toh meri sherni ho na. Tum to hamesha mujhe himmat deti thi, phir khud itni weak kaise ho gyi..

Avni: Neil.. woh..
She again started crying..

Neil: Jaan.. aur bhi kuch hua hai kya jo mujhe nhi pata.. tell me na jaan..

Avni: Neil.. mujhe pata chal gya hai ki hamari families ke bich hatred ka kya reason hai..

Neil: Whatt.. tumhe pata hai. Par kaise avni? Tumhari family ne bataya tumhe?

Avni: Nhi neil.. kisi ne kuch nhi bataya. Aur dadi ne sab ko mana kiya hai mujhe kuch bhi batane.. Lekin aaj maine unki baatein sun li thi..

Neil: Avni mujhe plz puri baat batao.. kya hua tha??

Avni: Neil woh..
She lowered her head.

Neil hold her hands & said..

Neil: Avni u trust me na.. plz mujhe sab batao..

Avni: Neil pehle tum mujhse ek promise karoge??

Neil: Kaisa promise avni??

Avni: Neil main janti huin ki tum bhi mujhse utna hi pyaar karte ho jitna ki main.. lekin ye sach sunne ke baad shayad tumhe.. i mean ki.. tum mujhse..

Neil understands & said..

Neil: Jaan.. hamari families ke bich hatred ka jo bhi reason ho mujhe us se koi fark nhi padta. Ho sakta hai hamari family members mein se kisi ne koi galti ki ho saalon pehle. But woh sab past tha. Aur hamara present ye hai ki hum dono ek dusre se bohot pyaar karte hain. Isliye kuch bhi ho jaye i will always love you..
Saying this he kissed her forehead..

Avni smiled..

Neil: Ab batao jaan, kya suna tha tumne??

Avni: Neil.. woh..aaj..riya ke aane se pehle..

FLASHBACK:-

In afternoon, when neil calls riya & told her everything.
At that time, mehta mansion:

Avni is coming in living room through stairs, when she heard dayawanti, ashish & ketan talking. They didn't notice avni, but avni heard their conversation.

Dayawanti: Ashish, avni ke liye tumne kya socha hai. Yeh ladki to hamari baat hi nhi sun rhi hai.. humein jald hi kuch karna hoga..

Ketan: Haan bhai aur woh sach janna chahti hai. Hum use bata kiun nhi dete..

Dayawanti: Nhi ketan koi bhi avni ko kuch nhi batayega!!

Ashish: Maa sahi keh rahi hain.. aur un khannas ko to main chodunga nhi. Unki wajah se maine meri behen ko kho diya.. aur aaj meri beti bhi mujhse dur ho rhi hai.

Ketan: Haan bhai, us hitesh khanna ne bohot galat kiya tha hamari diksha ke sath..

Ashish: Hum sab kitna pyaar karte the diksha se. Hum dono ki ek hi to behen thi.

Dayawanti: Lekin, ek woh din aya jab humari beti ko hitesh khanna se pyaar ho gya..

Ketan: Lekin woh insaan dhokebaaz nikla..

Dayawanti: Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai woh din jab meri bacchi bhagte hue mere paas ayi thi.. kitni khush thi woh.. aur bas yehi keh rhi thi ki maa mujhe pyaar ho gya hai.. i m in love. Humne socha ki shayad humari diksha ko uska life partner mil gya hai. Hum bhi uske liye khush the.

Ashish: Aur maine hi usse kaha tha ki bula lo hitesh aur uski family ko milne ke liye.

Ketan: Hum sab ko hitesh pasand aa gya tha. Humne rishte ke liye haan bhi kar di thi. 1 yr baad dono ki shaadi bhi fix ho gyi thi..

Ashish: Lekin kise pata tha ki yeh 1 saal hum sab ki zindagi badal dega!!

Dayawanti: Sab kuch to thik ja rha tha.. ki ek din suddenly humein pata chala ki diksha pregnant hai. Hum sab ne socha ki ab 1 yr se pehle hi in dono ki shaadi kara dete hain..

Ketan: Lekin us hitesh khanna ne apna asli rang dikha hi diya..

Dayawanti: Meri bacchi par ye ilzaam lagaya ki yeh baccha uska nhi hai.. diksha kehti rhi baar baar ki woh sach keh rhi hai ye hitesh ka hi baccha hai, lekin usne uski baat nhi suni..

Ashish: Aur woh hitesh meri behen ko chod ke chala gya. Aur phir us hitesh ne yeh baat media mein bhi phela di. Log kya kya bolte the hamari diksha ko..

Ketan: Aur woh ye sab bardash nhi kar payi aur usne.. suicide kar liya..

Everyone have tears in their eyes. Even avni is crying listening all this.

But then ashish eyes filled with anger😈

Ashish: Lekin maine us hitesh khanna se badla le hi liya apni behen ka..

Ketan: Haan bhai aapne uski car ka accident karwa diya tha. Woh dhokebaaz yahi deserve karta tha..

Dayawanti: Aur tab se mehta's aur khanna's ke bich dushmani hai!! Lekin mujhe yakeen hai ki yeh neil khanna apne chacha ka badla lena chahta hai avni se..

Ashish: Lekin main use aisa karne nhi dunga..

FLASHBACK ENDS:

Both neil & avni have tears in their eyes.

Neil: Hitesh chachu ne aisa kiya tha diksha bua ke sath. Chee, mujhe to unhein apna chachu bolne mein bhi sharam aa rhi hai..

Avni: Lekin papa ne bhi galat kiya, unka accident karwa ke..

Neil holds avni's hand & looks in her eyes..

Neil: Avni, i know ki past me diksha bua ke sath jo kuch bhi hua woh bohot galat tha. Hitesh chachu ne bohot galat kiya tha unke sath jiski saza bhi unhein mili. Haan woh mere chachu the, lekin main unke jaisa bilkul nhi huin avni. Tumhe ye to yakeen hai na ki main tumse saccha pyaar karta huin aur tumhe kabhi dhoka dene ka soch bhi nhi sakta..
He looks avni with hopefull eyes.

Avni (smiling): Neil tumhein explanations dene ki koi zarurat nhi hai. Aur tumhein kya lagta hai ki maine ye saari sacchai sunne ke baad suicide karne ki koshish ki. Nhi neil, woh koi aur baat hai jiski wajah se maine yeh sab kiya. Maine papa, dadi aur chachu ko kuch aur bhi kehte suna tha.

FLASHBACK:-

Ketan: Lekin bhai humein jald hi kuch karna hoga..

Ashish: Maine soch liya hai ki ab humein kya karna hai!!

Dayawanti: Kya socha hai tumne ashish??

Ashish: Rohan singh..

Dayawanti: Rohan??

Ketan: Bhai, apke friend manish ji ka beta, usi rohan ki baat kar rahe hain na aap!

Ashish: Haan ketan wahi rohan..

Dayawanti: Isme rohan hamari kya help karega ashish??

Ashish: Hum avni ki shaadi kara denge rohan se!

Ketan: Whatt... lekin bhai maine suna hai ki, that boy is a casanova.

Dayawanti: Kya, ashish hum aise ladke se kaise kar de avni ki shaadi?

Ashish: Maa, he is not casanova. Young hai, rich hai, isliye hongi kuch girlfriends. Shaadi ke baad sab sahi ho jaiga. Aur waise bhi yeh us dhokebaaz khanna se toh bohot better hai.. aur waise bhi manish mera bohot accha friend bhi hai.. isliye avni ki shaadi rohan se hi hogi & thats final..

Dayawanti: Thik hai ashish jaisa tumhe thik lage.. lekin kya avni manegi??

Ketan: Haan bhai mujhe nhi lagta ki avni is shaadi ke liye manegi..

Ashish: Avni mane chahe na mane use rohan se shaadi karni hi hogi.. aur main bhi dekhta huin ki woh kaise meri baat nhi sunti..

Avni listened all this & immediately runs to her room.
She closed the door & sat there crying her heart out.

Avni (while crying): Noo.. i can't.. i can't marry someone else.. i love neil.. i can't marry someone other than him. I.. i have to do something. But what will i do? I can't even talk to neil. Riya is also not here. Kya karun main? Kya karun..
After sometime, she thinks something..

Avni: Now i have only one option..
She goes in washroom & closed the door. Breaks the mirror & takes a broken piece in her hand..

Avni: I love u neil.. i love u.. & i m only urs.
With that she cuts her wrist 😢

FLASHBACK ENDS:

Neil have tears in his eyes..

Neil: Jaan.. itna pyaar karti ho mujhse, ki tumne apni jaan ki bhi parwah nhi ki.

Avni (smilingly): Meri jaan toh tum ho neil. Aur maine apni jaan ke liye hi to yeh sab kiya hai..

Neil hugged her tightly.

Neil: I love u too jaan.. lekin tum mujh se ek promise karo, ki tum aaj ke baad kabhi bhi aisa kuch nhi karogi.. u won't risk ur life..promise me.

Avni: Neil i promise that i won't harm myself. Lekin agar mujhe tumhare liye apni life risk mein dalni padi, toh i promise i won't backout..

Neil: Avnii..
But he can't complete as riya entered the room.

Riya hugs avni.

Riya: Avni, tu pagal hai kya. Tu apne aap ko kya koi superhero samajhti hai. Jo tune aisa kia. Hum sab kitna dar gye the pata hai tujhe. Dekh main tujhe warning de rhi huin, agar aaj ke baad kabhi aisa kiya na, toh pitegi mujhse. Samjhi..

Avni while holding her ears.

Avni: Sorry sissy, maaf kar do. Ab kabhi aisa nhi karungi..promise😯

Both riya & neil smiled☺

Neil told riya everything that avni told him. Riya is shocked listening all this.
