Avni: And that's what happened....
She said releasing a sigh.

Man: Look Avni mama Ji already warned you to stay away from him, still you went ahead and met him.

Avni: He is my BEST FRIEND Rohan.
Yes! The man is revealed to be Rohan.

Rohan: Fine! Let's not spoil our mood. We can talk on this topic some other time. Ok.
(He said changing his tone to a soft one)

Avni:  Hmmm.....
She went ahead and hugged him tightly. He smiled at her gesture.

Khanna Mansion

Prakash had left for office directly from the airport. Bebe was taking her afternoon nap. Shweta was sitting in the Hall waiting for her son.

Somewhere she had felt his true feelings towards Avni. But she could not do anything as she wasn't sure about Avni's feelings for Neil.
Moreover, she felt that her son was mature enough to handle his feelings and give them a direction.

She was very worried. Many thoughts were coming across her mind.

How will he handle himself? What he must be going through? What if he does something stupid? NO!!!!
How can you think like this Shweta? He'll be fine...
He'll be broken but you have to be strong for your Tillu. You have to handle him, make him move on...

Her thoughts were broken with the screeching noise of tires in the driveway of the house.

Her heart started to pound faster. She just wished her son was alright.

The door opened. It was Neil.
He was walking lifelessly with deep red eyes which were moistened by his tears.
His face had lost all the glow and charm which resided there a few hours ago when he came out of the airport.

He looked up and found his mother staring at him with a worried expression, the same he failed to notice at the airport.

Shweta: Tillu...
She was about to say something when she saw her son turn away to hide his tears.
He did not want to upset her with the story of his broken heart. Little did he realize that nothing can be a secret from a mother especially her child's PAIN.

Neil: Mom, I'm tired. I'll go to my room and rest.

Her heart bleeded listening to her son's broken voice. Before she could react he went upstairs.
Tears started flowing from her eyes.

Sorry beta, mom could not help you win your love. But I'll definitely help you heal from the wounds it has given you.
She said in a determined tone.

Neil ran inside his room sat on the floor with his back resting against the bed.
Tears were not ready to stop.
He was broken,completely shattered.

Then a voice came,

Itna bada ho gaya hai tu, apni maa se apna dard chupayega.
Yes! It was Shweta.

He looked towards the door to find his mother with a sad expression and glassy eyes.

He stood up and ran towards her and hugged her tightly like a child. He started crying bitterly.
Shweta hugged him tightly, pulling him more towards herself trying to take away his pain.

Neil: Mom.....mom....mera...mera pehla pyaar adhura reh gya mom..adhura...
He said while sobbing loudly and resting his head on his mothers shoulder.

Shweta: Bas bachcha...come with me.

She took him to bed and he placed his head in Shwetas lap.
She caressed his hair lovingly.
She felt him calm down a little.

Shweta: Bhool payega usse?

Neil: Nahi mom..sabse pehle vo meri dost hai. Doston ko kabhi bhoola nhi jaata.
But I'll be fine mom. Bas aaj raat aapki god mein sar rakh kar sona chahta hoon.

Shweta: I'm proud of you Tillu.
She smiled and kissed his forehead.

Soon he drifted to sleep..
