She reached Sukoon Ghar and started stepping in. She stopped at the door step seeing two mens whose back was facing. Avni's heart became restless. At the same time, Neil turned side ways to KK and that's the time she saw him and was utterly astounded. She stood like a idol looking at him. Neither the eyes cried nor the lips quivered. Its only the soul which met her soul mate after more than a year. Neil realized that his heart beat which is beating in a abnormal rate. His hand reached his heart, sensing the known feeling.

"Avni... Tum yaha ho?" he thought and looked up and his eyes started to search for that one face. He looked here and there and turned suddenly looking at the door and found no one. His lips frown seeing her nowhere.

"Kya hua Neil .." Sunheri asked while he turned again facing her.

"Kuch nahi...."he replied taking a deep breath.

" Sunheri ji... When Neilanjana ji will be back? " KK asked her

" I guess she will be late today... "Sunheri said

On the other hand.

I ran fastly to the back side of Sukoon Ghar. I stopped closing my eyes letting the tears falling down. I took out my specs and buried my face in my palm to wipe out my tears. I looked up to bright sky inhaling deep breath to calm down my heart. I messaged sunheri to open the back door. Within some minutes, the back door gets open and I saw sunheri coming out.

"Chalo Avni... They are in the garden... You go to room quickly.." she spoke and I rushed to my room quickly

I locked the door behind sliding on the door. I saw him. I saw my Neil. I closed my eyes thinking of everything which made us to part our ways. I just bursted out in tears crying. I just wanna hug him tight, I wanna feel him, I want him to embrace me.

"I love you Avni... Jab tak yeh zindagi hai... Jab tak yeh saase hai... I will always love you"

I heard this words in my thick skull which made me smile with tears remembering that beautiful night where I became utterly his and he became mine. Where we shared our soul. I moved towards the closet and took out the big suitcase. I opened it in hurry and the Zip cut my hand.

"Ouch" I hissed and saw a cut in forefinger but I shrugg it off.

I searched for something and i found it. It was his shirt the same white which he wore that night. I took out and then saw my pink saree. I stroked it just feeling the emotion behind it. I just hugged his shirt pouring my heart out. I opened the buttons and just wore it.

"Neil.." I whispered his name

Suddenly an unknown fear crawled my body. What if, he see me here. What will be his reaction?. I know it will be utmost worst. I looked at him through the window.

Saisha reached by now and was shocked seeing KK. And she got super happy and all were talking and chit chatting.

"Aap ko pata hai... My jaan di is fan of yours.... She always listen to your talks in her radio.." Saisha said while Neil smiled

"If she gets to know, you came here she will gets happy... But sadly she isn't here now.."

"Jaan di?" he asked confused

"Oops... Neilanjana dii... Hum pyaar se jaan dii bhulathi hai..." she said smiling

"Achaa... We also waiting to meet your jaan dii..." he said while saisha turned towards sunheri

"Jaan di kab aayenge..." she asked while sunheri looked at her then Neil.

"Vo.. She will be late..." she said the same reply looking at Neil

"You call her na.." saisha said to her

"I called her... But she didn't picked up.." she said.

"I will call her again..." she picked sunheri's phone from table before sunheri could stop her. She connected the call to her. Sunheri was highly tensed and was not showing anything outside.

"aap baat kijiyega...she will be very surprised.." saisha said giving phone to Neil.

"Main?.. Nahi.." Neil said in hesitation.

"Please.... We will give her surprise.." she said while Neil looked at KK and he nodded and then he picked the phone from her while Sunheri don't know what to do.

He waited her to attend the phone.

Whereas, Avni was sitting on the floor beside the bed. Her phone rang making her trance broke. She picked her phone from her pocket and saw the caller ID was sunheri. She picked up.

"Hello..." she spoke while Neil was shocked hearing Avni's voice. His body get stiffen and he sat straight.

"Hello..." he said and was desperately waiting for her voice

Here, Avni gets shocked hearing his voice. She didn't spoke a word after that.

"Hello?... Jaan di... I mean... Jaan... Oops... Neilanjana?" his words betrayed him and he was only waiting for that soothing voice of her which resembles his Avni's voice. Neither she spoke something nor she can able to cut his call.

"Hello?" he again said

"I guess signal weak hoga.." sunheri interrupted them.

Neil nodded and gave the phone to her. She put off the call.

"Sunheri Ji.... This is the pass for my promotion meet... Please you all should come.... Aap Neilanjana ji se boldiyega... I came to invite you all...." he said giving the passes to her while saisha got excited.

"Haa.." sunheri replied smiling

They stood up to leave. They were moving while Neil once stopped and looked at the home once again.

"Chal bro.." KK said while he nodded and went with him

"Kya hua?" he asked sitting in the seat while Neil sat beside him

"Aise feel horraha hai ki... Main yaha kuch Chodke aaraha hu.... Jaise...Jo main chaatha Hu.. Unko hi Chodke aaraha hu" he said still looking at home through the car window

"Yaha?" he asked confused

"Haa..."

"Aise kuch bhi nahi hai Bro...Chill!." he calmed him while he faked a smile and he started from there.

Sunheri then went to Avni's room and saw her hugging her knees. She went near her and kept her hand on her shoulders. She looked up. While sunheri wiped her tears. Within a second Avni hugged her and cried.

"sambhalo khud ko Avni..." she said stroking her back

"Neil.... Mera Neil..." she said crying

"Haa.. Tumhara hi Neil hai.... "She said wiping her tears again

" Neil mujhe Nafrat karega na...jab usko pata chalega ki main zindha hu... Aur main usse jhhot bola... "she asked like small kid after even knowing the consequence of his reaction. Sunheri simply looked at her.

" Neil se sach boldo Avni... " she said while she stopped crying and looked at her furrowing her brows.

" Kya bolrahai ho Sunheri?... Neil ya mera family ko yeh sach kabhi nahi pata chalni chaiyee..." she said

"Kab tak khud ko chupoge Neil se?..." she asked while Avni looked at sunheri

"Main Neil se kabhi nahi mil sakthi hu..... Kabhi nahi...."she said nodding her head in negative.

" Aur yeh saara sach? " she again questioned her

" Sab kuch Chupane keliye tho hi Main mera family se dur aay thi.... Meri Neil se...... Taaki yeh raaz meri saath hi dafan hojay..." she said while sunheri looked at her helplessly. She placed Avni's head on her chest, hugging her.

" teek hai... Tum fikr math karo.. Neil 2 ya 3 din main vaapas Mumbai chala jaayega aur phir sab kuch teek hojayaga... Hum pehli jaise rehenge... Tum stress na le..." she said while Avni nodded crying.
