In evening,  Prakash came to Avni's room.

Prakash - Are you fine Avni ?

Avni - Yes. ( weak voice ).

Prakash- Avni, actually I have an important meeting so I have to go there.

Avni - No problem dad. ( smiles ).

Prakash- In case you need any help in my absence then you can call Neil.

Avni - Neil is at  home.

Prakash - Yes, he is cooking dinner for you both.

Avni - Oh !!

Prakash - I will leaving within 5 minutes.

Avni - Okay. ( smiles ).

Prakash left and came to the hall where Neil was waiting for him.

Neil - You told her that I am in kitchen.

Prakash - Yes,  Please take care Neil. I don't know what are you upto but.

Neil - Trust  me dad I won't let anything wrong happen.

Prakash - I believe you Neil.

With that Prakash left.

Neil - I know Avni, you will surely come downstairs for pacifying me and then I will execute my plan. ( determined look in his eyes ).

Avni's room

Avni - I should pacify Neil. I have disappointed him with my act. I should seek apology and whatever punishment he want to give me, I will accept happily as I deserve his anger for hurting him with my actions.

Avni went down and suddenly the lights turned off. She was scared, so she started calling Neil.

Avni - Neil, Neil. Where are you Neil ? ( afraid ).

Suddenly she heard some voice in fact  a familiar voice.

Voice - You are a trash Avni, you are a  trash.

Avni - Dayavanti Mehta. ( sweating badly ).

Voice - You don't deserve mother's love. Your mother lost her life due to you.

Avni - Gyatri ... ( shivering )

Voice - Who said you are a trash princess ? You are a blessing. Always remember my words, you are a blessing. Symbol of pure relation between me and Ayesha.

Avni - Dad... ( A small smile appeared on her face ).

Avni - Dad dad where are you ? Please come to me dad. Please. Please dad come to me. ( burst into tears ).

Her gaze shifted at the screen placed on the wall and it was displaying some footage.

Avni took steps forward and found some old interviews of Ashish. Her eyes filled with tears after watching her dad.

Interviewer - Who is your inspiration DCP Ashish Mehta ?

Ashish - My daughter Avni, she is the epitome of innocence which always inspires me. Her innocence always force me to work for the innocent lives who are surrounded by criminals even if it causes loss of your own life.

Interviewer - So you want your daughter to preserve this innocence forever ?

Ashish - Well, it will depend on the situations. In general, I want her to be an innocent and humble soul who can help others but when someone tries to harm her or any other innocent person then she should be a fireball who will burn that devil in her flames. A fire that no one dares to play.

The footage ended and Avni was crying badly after listening her father's words.

Another voice came from the background.

Voice - This is what your father wanted for you Avni and what you did. You disappointed him. You tried to runaway from the situations instead of facing them.

Avni - Neil .... ( crying ) .. Neil, I know you are here please talk with me. I am really sorry Neil. Really sorry.

Voice - You harmed yourself even after knowing that you are a precious part of your parents. Precisely the last symbol of their love.  You harmed your parents by harming yourself.

Avni - No, I shouldn't have done that. How can I stoop so low ? Even after knowing how much my parents love me, how much Prakash dad and Neil cares for me, I ...I.....I..... played with my life ... how can I do this ... ( She fell down on her knees and was crying bitterly.)

Voice - Why are you thinking so much you are an illegitimate child Avni. (DM).

Voice - You are our love child Avni and love child is a blessing as it symbolises the union between two souls. ( Ashish ).

Voice - Avni you are a garbage who deserves to be in dumpyard. ( Gyatri )

Voice  - the people who think low about you deserve to be in dumpyard not you bacha. ( Ashish ).

Voice - Just think from my point of view Avni. You deserve a nasty life cos you are dirty person. ( DM ).

Voice - Bloody b*tch, it's an apt title for you. ( Gyatri )

Voice - Always remember you are my princess, my rockstar. You have to think about yourself in the way you want to. There is no need of other's opinion for creating a viewpoint about yourself. Always remember this bacha. ( Ashish ).

Voice - You are an illegitimate girl. ( DM )

Voice - You killed your mother. ( Gyatri ).

Voice -  They don't know how incredible you are. But you should know that. ( Ashish ).

Voice - You deserve hell. ( DM ).

Voice - You don't deserve love. ( Gyatri ).

Voice - You deserve love, you don't need heaven become you have the tendency to create a heaven on earth itself. You are my brave champ. ( Ashish ).

Voice - You should die. ( DM ).

Voice - Exactly, you should die Avni. ( Gyatri ).

Voice - You should live for your father and the ones whom you consider as family. ( Ashish ).

Voice - Neil don't deserve you at all. ( DM ).

Voice - Neil deserve someone better. ( Gyatri ).

Voice - Neil doesn't deserve better because he have the best. Look into his eyes you will find unconditional love for you. ( Ashish ).

Voice - You are a crap Avni. A cheap girl. You don't deserve to live.  ( DM ).

Voice - You are the murderer of your parents, a bad omen. ( Gyatri ).

Voice - You are not a murderer. You have given life to Ashish and Ayesha even after their death. You are representing your parents. Always remember that. ( Ashish ).

Voice - You are a.... ( DM ).

Avni - Enough ( screamed at top of voice Before the voice complete it's monologue.)

The Avni who was standing here was not vulnerable, she was having fire in her eyes.

Avni - I am not an illegitimate child. I am symbol of Ashish and Ayesha's love. I deserve to live, I deserve love.  I deserve to live a better life. I deserve every happiness in my life because I am worth it. Yes, I took a wrong path in my life not once but twice, I let my inner demons dominate the ray of hope but not anymore. ( anger was evident in her voice.). The people who think that I am a trash they should know that their own thinking is not more than a dust particle. The people who have tortured an innocent girl in her childhood, the people who snatched the entire childhood of a young girl, those people.. those people  ( literally screamed ) are the real devils. They deserve punishment not me. They deserve hell not me. The people who can stoop so low for making other's life hell they all are equal to garbage, not me. Yes I was a victim but now I will become survivor, a survivor.. ( determined voice, her eyes were blood shot red ). I deserve a normal life and now no one, I repeat no one would be able to dominate my thoughts. I know, I am worthy enough to be happy, so now I won't live on the viewpoints created  by   those people who don't even have self esteem. I will work on myself, I will fight my demons, I won't runaway from my problems. I will face the difficulties, I am ready to cross each and every obstacle that will restrict my movement in my self reforming process. I will reform myself in the way that my father always wanted. I will become his daughter in true sense. I know this path would be difficult but I will cross it by hook or by crook and I will ... I repeat... I will emerge as winner ... I will win in this battle of my life. I won't give up easily ... I will become the fireball that no one dares to play. I can do it and I will do it. ( determined voice).

She screamed on top of her lungs and then fell on her knees as tears engulfed her. She was hurt, literally hurt after disappointing her parents, her Prakash dad and Neil. She was angry on herself for breaking their hearts.

She was crying bitterly but stopped when she felt a hand on her shoulder and she knew who he was. She turned and engulfed him in a tight hug and started crying in his embrace. After all, Avni finds her solace in her  Neil's arms.

Neil patted her head gently and let her cry as much as she wants.
