It's been one hour since he left Avni. He was sitting in the garden crying while Avni was in his room crying. He was cursing himself for shouting at her like that whereas Avni was feeling guilty for hurting him.

He went to his room and standing Infront of the closed door. He knows how she will be right now. He clenched his fist closing his eyes and took a deep breath.

He opened the door while Avni turned hearing the sound and their eyes met. Her eyes were fully wet and her face was swollen as he expected.

"Ne.. " She was cut off when he went near her and pulled her for bone crushing hug.

She cried in his arms while tears passed down his cheeks. Their eyes were shut tightly.

"I am sorry Avni... " He said in between the hug and broke the hug.

"I am sorry.... I should haven't shouted at you like that.... I.... I... Just lost my... " He cupped her face saying while Avni interrupted.

"No.. Neil.... I am sorry.... " She said while he wiped her tears. He lean his forehead with hers while their eyes were closed.

.....

Neil moved her in wheel chair to the garden. They were crying from the past hours and Neil tried to pacify Avni and after that she became all silent. Neil thought to take her for a fresh air. Neil was noticing her who was continously looking down. He stopped moving her and came in front of her. He kneel down in front of her and hold her hand. She lifted her face and her eyes met his.

"Avni....Tell me... I am all yours to listen everything... Just pour out everything you have in your heart... I am ready to listen.... " He said while she looked at him and her eyes gets moisten hearing him

"Ne... " She looked away don't know how to say. While Neil stroked the back of her hand with his thumb trying to make her relax. She took some time and again started.

Neil... I don't ....don't want.... to separate you from Shwetha Aunty...... " She said looking down while Neil furrowed his brows hearing her. He cupped her face making her to look at him.

"Avni... What are you saying?" He was totally confused hearing her.

She poured out everything including Riya's words. Neil was shocked to see how she related her life with her parents.

"I don't want any of this to happen because of me.... Because of me, you have already fought with Shwetha Aunty..... And I didn't want you to go away from her......That's why I thought that if I go away everything will be fine... " She said in a low tone and she automatically looked down muttering the last sentence. A tear slipped from her eyes again.

"Jaana... " He said calmly taking a deep breath while she lifted her face meeting his eyes. His hands moved and cupped her face wiping her tear with his thumb.

"Do you know yeh shaadhi waala idea kis ka tha? " He asked her while she slowly nodded her head negatively.

"It's was babe's idea... She thought if you be with us... Everything will change ..... May be staying together help Mom to understand you better  ..... I know she would have roasted us at the starting for me marrying you.....The same thing happened with Shwetha Mom also... Bebe didn't accepted her at starting....Bebe was so angry when my papa married Shwetha Mom....Bebe was never against love marriage but their wedding happened in the kinda situation where papa had to marry Mom.... When they came to home after wedding... Bebe nearly had them kick out of our home...But papa tried to convince her but she didn't accepted them But eventually she understood my mom and she did accepted her.... " He said calmly explaining it to her. She looked at him blinking her eyes continously listening to him.

"And about what you told about fighting with her... No!... I just took stand for you... For what is right.... " He said while she pressed her lips together to control herself.

"If you think that tum door jaane se sab kuch teek hojayega tho ..... You are wrong Avni....Nothing would have changed..... Aur aage se aise kabhi mat sochna Avni... " Tears flow down from his eyes now and he told her while she hugged him tightly couldn't able to bare his tears.

"I am Sorry Neil... " She mumbled closing her eyes

"Hum saath main sab kuch teek karlenge.... I promise..." He added further while she nodded. They were still hugging each other pouring their emotions out.

"Please trust me Avni.... If you ever feel like this.... Or if you have any thoughts like this... Please talk to me Jaana.... Main tumhari Neilu hi hu na.... " He said while She nodded her head like a kid with tears in her eyes.

After some time,

Neil was moving her in.

"Avni... Wait a minute.... I'll ask Bheema di to make dinner for you... " He said while she nodded and he left her in Hall and went to kitchen.

Avni was looking at their family picture which was hanging on the wall. She hear some foot steps and turned towards her right and saw Shwetha looking at her. Avni looked at her and she started walking from there. Shwetha stopped when she saw Neil. Neil looked at her. Avni was looking at them. Neil started moving from there and took Avni from there.

"Till... " She was about to call him but he already started moving. Shwetha felt sad seeing him not talking to her.

Avni frowned thinking that they are not talking to each other. They entered their room while Avni was looking at Neil who was closing the door. She looked away when he turned back. He caught her looking at him.

Soon Bebe came to check on Avni. And the trio spent time together.

Later on

Bheema di came with dinner for them. She left the door half open while Neil started feeding Avni. Avni was continuously looking at him. Neil can sense that something is wrong with her again as he can clearly read her expression. But he kept silent as he really wanted her open up this time.

After feeding her , he gave her medicines. And sat on the bed infront of her and took her hand in his and kissed it.

"Neil... " She called him while he looked at her

"Haa jaana... " He patted her hair

"If I ask you to do one thing...will you do Neil? " She asked him making him chuckle

"I can do anything for you Jaana... "He said smiling and kissed her forehead.

" Neil... Shwetha aunty is angry..... You have to talk to her... "She said while he blankly looked at her. He wondered at her like after what had happened she still cares for everyone before herself.

" Neil.... You know how she became sad when you as it it walked by her without even talking to her.... You can't do like that Neil... She is your Mom... You should never hurt your mom... "She cupped her face saying to him.

He is not angry at her. He is just hurt by everything. What hurts him more is that shwetha never listened or understood to him. He was just lost into his thoughts.

" Neil.... Just think a moment being in her place....How you will feel hurt...
You should talk with her Neil.....You itself said na she needs time to accept me... Then why are you just ignoring her and hurting her more? " She asked him while he didn't spoke anything.

"Ek din meri aur shwetha aunty ke beech sab kuch teek ho jayega... Phir tum dhono ka kya hoga ?.... And you see... I will only support her not you... " She said with a smile, with all the hope he gave her today. He chuckled hearing her.

"May be she is wrong about me.... But it's not necessary na that she should understand me the way you do.... " She said with a smile caressing his hair lovingly.

Avni tried her best to solve those chaos between Neil and Shwetha. She don't want this. She clearly saw her sadness when Neil ignored her. She wanted them  happy just like they used to be.

A pair of ears listening to their conversation and then left from there.

"How can you be like this Avni? " He asked her with a proud smile on his face. While she simply looked at him.

"After what Mom and Riya had done... You... " He was interrupted by her

"No Neil.... I am 100% sure ki... Riya would have said about me like that to Shwetha Aunty.....aur Shwetha aunty ne maan liya hoga uss baaton ka....i also got influenced by her words right! ... " She said while Neil think about her words.

"May be you are right Avni.... Because there is no chance that Mom can know about you... I also didn't said anything... Then Riya only would have said wrong  about you.... And Mom too believed in her..." He said while Avni nodded agreeing with him.

"So you have to.... " Before Avni could say Neil interrupted her

"I will Avni... " He smiled at her while Avni felt so happy.

He then picked her in his arms and placed on the bed carefully. Avni just kept her head on his chest while he caressed her hair to make her sleep. Soon both dozed off to sleep.
