Avni : Because i was not sure that whether i have to keep this baby....or......

Neil : Avniiiiii........... he shouted angrily...and His eyes got red due to anger filled in them...

Neil : HOW DARE YOU..?.....tum....tumne aisa socha bhi kaise Avni ?.......he said holding her shoulders tightly and looking straight in her eyes.

Avni paused for a second and then she insisted him to leave her hands.

Avni : tch...leave me neil.....she sounds quite frustated and emotionally very weak.

Neil was not understandinh the sudden change in her behaviour. he left her hands and said...

Neil : Ho kya gya hai tumhe Avni......Kya bol rhi ho....kya kar rhi ho...tumhe khud bhi pta hai...? Zara dekho ek baar apne aap ko...kya haal bna liya hai apna.... 

Avni just listened and her eyes started getting wet. She is exploding with emotions right now....but she is just hiding everything inside her.

Neil : And dont you dare take those pills again.....suna tumne....Aaj ke baad kabhi bhi....kabhi bhi apne aap ko hurt krne ki koshish mat krna...Or na hi... humare bache ko.

Avni :  huh...tumhe kya farak padta hai neil....ki main jiyu ya maru...she said not looking at him

Neil : Enough Avni.....ENOUGH. Or baar baar ye kehna band kro that i don't care. Tumhe kya pta ki mujhe kaisa feel ho rha hai iss waqt.....mere andar kya chal rha hai. 

Ye....ye feeling......fa...father banne ki khushi.....
but nhi...tumhe isse kya......Tumhe to yahi lag rha hai that I dont care..... 

there was silence between them

Neil continued getting emotional

Neil : You know what......aaj tumne ye proof kr hi diya....THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
5 saal ke baad bhi tum mujhe jaan nhi paayi Avni.......he said and looked into her eyes.

She didnt replied anything. Neil felt disgusted. He left the room in anger....banging the door behind him. He needs some space to process all the things.

The moment he left the room....Avni's eyes flooded with unsaid emotions. She started crying covering her face with her hands.

Evening 5 p.m.

Neil was roaming all alone on an empty road. He was badly hurt from inside. He was trying to understand why all these things are happening with him. 

At Night

Neil didnt return back to the hospital. He went straight to their home and lied down on his bed.

On the other hand Avni was all alone in the hospital room...looking outside from the window.

Though they both were away from each other...but neither of them slept that night.

Avni's pov

Meri kahani bhi iss andhere ki tarah hai....(seeing the darkness from the window). Jisme suraj ki koi kiran nazar nhi aati.
(a tear rolled down her eyes.)

Aaj bhi...neil aaj bhi tumne mujhe akela chhod diya. Har baar ki tarah.

She looked down slowly and kept her hand on her tummy and said.......main nhi chahti...ki aap bhi meri tarah akele reh jao...
Main nhi chahti ki meri tarah...aap bhi...apne papa ke pyaar ka wait krte reh jao....
tears fell from her eyes.

.............

Next day.

Avni was lying on a bed when doctor entered her room. She checked avni's pulse and said

Doctor : Avni.....you are absolutely fine now. But you just have to take care of yourself. And i hope you will do that. (avni nodded)
You will be discharged by evening.

Avni gave a slight smile

Doctor : Where is neil ?

Avni's expression changed back to sadness. And she had no other choice than lying.

Avni : He had an important meeting. And i told him i am fine..he can go and attend his meeting....therefore he went...

doctor could sense the pain in her words...

Doctor : Just as a friend i am asking Avni.... Is everything fine between both of you...? I mean...everythings okay right. she said keeping hand on her shoulder

Avni nodded with a heavy heart.

Doctor can also understand that every thing is not fine between both of them.

Doctor : Avni...I think this baby is God's gift for both of you. God has sent him with a purpose.
I am sure...It will change your life for good. she said with a smile keeping her hand on Avni's cheek.

Avni smiled a little.

Doctor left the room.

.......

In evening Neil came and completed all the formalities of Avni's discharge.

He took Avni along with him to their home. The drive was silent as neither of them talked to each other.

As they reached home. Neil helped Avni to lye down on bed comfartably. He gave him water to drink and her medicines.
She took it and thanked him

Neil : Dinner me kya khana hai Avni...abhi bta do i will make it. Because it will take time for me to cook.

Avni almost chocked the water that she was drinking...listening this.

Avni (shocked) : Tum....? Tum cook kroge...?

Neil : ofcourse....tum to kar nhi sakti iss halat me....so I will.

Avni : There is no need to do all this Neil. I am fine and I can cook.

Neil : But...Why can't I cook...? Vese bhi tum hmesha complaint krti ho...ki mai  tumhari care nhi karta...tumhe time nhi deta.
Or ab jab main tumhare liye kuch kr rha hu to bhi tumhe problem hai...he said sitting next to him..in a sarcastic way

Avni : Ohh.... now i got it.
Tum ye sab mujhe...mujhe guilty feel krane ke liye kar rhe ho right....she said to him to which he held her shoulder and said...

Neil : You know what avni....Tumhari problem hi yahi hai...ki tumhe hmesha main galat lagta hu.
Tumhe lagta hai main jo bhi karta hu...tunhe hurt krne ke kiye karta hu...thats what your problem is.

Avni : Or tumhari problem ye hai ki tum kabhi mujhe samajhte hi nhi....you dont want to understand me...

Neil : Enough...main thak chuka hu....tumhari ye baatein sun sun ke.....Aakhir chahti kya ho tum..he said in a louder tone

Avni : Thoda sa sukoon neil....or....or tumhara saath..
she said and they both looked at each other...

Neil tumhe yaad bhi hai...ki last time tumne kab mujhse pyaar se baat ki thi.....?
....Kab hum dono ne bina ladayi kiye ek pura din saath me bitaya ho.....?
Thak chuki hu main bhi....ye roz roz ki ladaiyo se...
thakk chuki hu maun...tunhara wait kr krke.... because you dont have time for Me....for US....

Neil : main kab nhi hota tunhare sath Avni....Har waqt hum sath me hote hai....
....Dinners pe jaate hai....parties attend krte hai....holidays pe jaate hai....Aakhir kab main tumharr sath nhi hota...bolo....

Avni : Correction neil.....Hum TUMHARE Official dinners pe jaate hai...tumhare friends ke sath parties pe jaate hai....or tumhare business tours pe jaate hai....

Logon ko shayd yahi dikhta hai that you are there with me...We are together
....but tum sirf physically mere sath hote ho.....emotionally or mentally nhi.

We never connected emotionally Neil. We...we hardly know each other.

Logo ko yahi lagta hoga that we are a perfect couple.....BUT....DO YOU THINK WE ARE...?

No....we are not Neil. We..we cant talk to each other...We cant share things with each other.

Neil (in a louder tone ) : Or tumhe lagta hai inn sabme bhi meri galti hai....Right...? Jaise ki tum toh bohot perfect you. You are the most perfect Women in this world.

Did YOU ever tried to know me....?
Did You ever tried to sort things between us...?
No....only thing you can do is to hide things from me....and create more problems.
.....he shouted at a higher pace

Avni's patience level also reach its limits. She also stood up in front of him and start arguing with him in a higher tone.

Avni : Neil....stop it....Tumhe kabhi apni galti nhi dikhti...hmesha meri galti dikhti hai...
....kya tum kabhi bhi mere pas aaye...ye janne ki koshish ki..ki main kaisi hu....meri tabyat kaisi hai......No...never....because you never feel like that.
tum hmesha apne kaam me husy rehte ho....din bhar main tumhara wiat krti hu....raat ko wait krte krte so jaati hu....or subah...subha bhi tum jaldi nikal jaate ho....And you think tum merw saath hote ho...
No neil....fact is that we are only physically together...
YOU DONT love me....You dont care for me....you don"t......Aah....Aahhh....suddenly avni winced in pain keeping her both the hands on her stomach.

she was so loud and speaking out of anger....but suddenly she starts wincing in pain.

And the moment she winced in pain...Neil got panicked and widened his eyes.

he immediately held her for support and kept his hand on her stomach...

Neil :  Av.....Avni are you okay....come...come....sit...sit here. she carefully made her sit and sat next to her.

Avni (crying in pain) :  Aahh....its....its paining neil....Ahh...she was in real pain

Neil caressed her back with his one hand....and was slowly caressing her stomach with another hand.

Neil : Relax....relax Avni....nothing will happen....Calm down....relax...he was slowly caressing her and soothing her pain.

Avni : Aahhh......m...mere...mere bache ko to kuch nhi hua na Neil...vo...vo thik hoga na....
...use..use kuch nhi hoga na....use kuch nhi hona chahiye......kuch nhi...she cried and was constantly praying for her baby....forgetting everytging that was happening few seconds before.

Neil gets surprised to see this wide of her....he noticed her and felt amazed..

She was badly wincing in pain....but all she was worried about was for her baby....

she was thinking only of her baby.

What shocked Neil was that....She is the same women who told him yesterday that...she was not sure about the baby...and didnt want it.

And now she is praying for the baby....She didnt want to let anything happens to her baby...
