Hello people.

Many of you might have wanted to know what happened after the last episode of NK.

Here is my take on it.

P.S: No Mowgli, KK and Sayesha.

My Birthday today and No surprise for the AvNeilians? Impossible.

So here it is.

I hope you have a great time reading it.

---------------------

"Mein tou kab se tumhara wait kar rahi thi." She uttered desperately, tears making their way down her cheeks.

(I had been waiting for you.)

She looked into his eyes as if she waited for something.

"I love you Neil." As soon as those three words escaped her mouth, his expressions changed. His brows furrowed and his cheek bones relaxed. How he had longed to hear these words from his Avni.

"I love you..." He repeated as if he wanted to confirm if that was actually happening.

"I love you too Avni.!" He mumbled, and as quickly as he could, he gathered her into his embrace.

Crying on his shoulder was all she was craving. Being in her arms was everything he had ever wanted. But circumstances had changed. It wouldn't have been this way, If Only things were different.

They had spent 10 long years without each other, just because she had to save his father. Her father in law was accused of murdering her own mother and she couldn't let everyone know that. It was a secret since she never wanted his family to break into pieces. So, she just silently walked away, faking her death. But now, they met after a decade. He found out the truth. He didn't tell it to anyone, rather, his heart pierced thinking of how she had been carrying the burden of this truth all these years. Just to save his family from breaking, she chose to leave them. How selfless this woman was!

He tightened his hold on her, pulling her closer. Breathing in her scent which he had almost forgotten in these 10 years, he kissed her hair softly. Though he couldn't ever forget anything about her, but the long 10 years made him go all mad.

She kept on holding him tighter as if he would run away. She almost forgot that she was the one to do that. She placed her tiny chin on his shoulder, pressing her lips on his neck.

It took ages for them to part away. He looked into her eyes, everything was there, be it Sincerity, Faithfulness, Trust, or Love. He kept on looking at her. The mere thought of loosing her again pained him to no extent. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he fell down on his knees.

Avni was confused seeing him in such a vulnerable state.

"Neil. What happened? Are you alright?" She was worried and it was visible. She sat down on the grass next to him, holding his hand in hers.

"In the span of those painful 10 years, I had been thinking that you were.." He didn't have the power to complete his sentence, but he continued, "Dead!"

A tear rolled down her cheek.

"I am sorry." She whispered, not able to meet his gaze.

He lifted her chin up, making her look at him,"No. You shouldn't be. You saved me Avni. Though I was torn apart, your condition was no less." He held the sincerity in his eyes. She wiped a tear and planted a soft kiss on his forehead, her lips lingering longer than required.

He felt the touch of her lips. Taking his own time to feel her magics, he held her face in his hands, stopping her to move her lips away from his forehead.

"I've longed to feel this Avni. Please. Do this a little longer." He pleaded, his eyes closed.

She touched his hands, her fingers caressing every single vein. Her lips still rested on his forehead.

She slowly removed his hands from her face and moved away.

She smiled a little, looking into his eyes. She moved closer to his face. Pressing her lips on his right cheek, she shot a nervous smile.

Moving her face across his, she kissed his left cheek. His beard tickled her nose and she grinned.

A tear of happiness rolled down his cheek and he couldn't help but admire the lady in front of him.

--------------------

They entered his apartment. They've informed at home about their union and that they wanted to spend some time alone to which the family readily agreed. Though Avni being Avni had denied a thousand times saying that the family would mind, but it was the perfect family she had. They couldn't deny. They could never.

He changed into a simple black shirt. Coming out of the bathroom, he found her in the kitchen, fighting with the utensils.

He smiled and walked over to her but then stopped mid way thinking she may not like.

He lay down on the bed, staring at the blank ceiling.

Though she had learnt how to cook in all these years, she couldn't cook anything. She failed everytime she was trying to add something in the heating oil at low flame. Her mind was taking her to all those days she had spent without him. What she had done to him. She was even feeling guilty while touching his belongings.

Of course, 10 whole years meant much. They couldn't live without each other for some hours, and they had spent a decade of their lives without each other. They wasted their time, they could have saved some memories, If Only things were different.

Obviously it would take time for them to come out of the mess.

She finally turned off the stove and came to lay down beside him. She found him already looking at her.

She looked at him with all the sincerity she had. What did she even do to get him? She kept on staring at his gorgeous face. His beard had grown a bit thicker. His eyes were the same, expressive, except for the fact that they held some tears but even they showed how glad he was. His cheeks were more enhancing. Only she knew how she was controlling the urge to just kiss them. His hair had grown a bit more. His lips, they were the same. The lips that had always fitted perfectly against hers. The lips that she was longing to feel. The lips that were so irresistible.

He stared at her, noticing every minute change on her face. Her hair were shorter than before, still she looked beautiful. Her eyes were the same small ones, in which he had drown every time. Her cheeks were fair, clear. Her lips were the most irresistible ones as he had always thought.

"Avni. I am not over with all that yet. I don't know why!" He spoke, pulling her closer to him.

She snuggled into him,"Even me Neil."

"We have to. Don't we? Avni. It's our life. We are together. Why the hell this mind is not ready to accept this!?" He said, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"May be because it was a long time Neil. We have to make efforts ourselves." She spoke, placing her head on his chest.

He hummed in response and kissed her hair.

This was all that he wanted to feel. She, being in his arms was enough to drive him crazy. Damn! He loved her so much.

Even she did. Their love would have been strong,  If Only things were different.

She looked up at him and moved to rest her head on his arm.

His eyes traveled to her lips. His mind refused again to kiss her. May be she would not like it.

Still a little hope that was in his heart forced him to ask,"May I?"

She smiled. She had been thinking the same, may be he would mind. But the hearts had to win.

She shook her head in denial. He thought she wasn't comfortable. He tried moving away when she grabbed his arms.

"You are not going to kiss me." She said, moving closer.

She pecked his lips and continued," Because I will."

Within seconds, his lips were on hers and they enjoyed the pure ecstasy they were in.

It could have been long ago, If Only things were different.

If Only they knew how much those little moments they spent together meant to both of them.

If Only they could know long ago that how much they loved each other.

If only things were different.

Okay done! I hope it wasn't boring.

Don't forget to drop your views.

Much Love.
