Avni's Pov

It's been two weeks since to that incident and I'm still not over into it. I cry every day and night, shed tears like a flood of stream remembering all those horrible things. I distracted myself to forget but my brain and heart doesn't let me ,every day in these two weeks they pierced me sharply with those horrific images.

My friend's tried their best to make me normal , they cheered me to move on with it but I couldn't. Though I tried my best to be good infront of them but I failed miserably. The smile I used to carry on my lip's wiped off completely. I barely laugh and giggle. Even I stopped talking with my mom and sister through phone because I knew they will find out if they listen to my voice.

The only thing I did in these two weeks was crying, sobbing. My appetite was completely lost, I barely ate anything And I could feel I lost weight. My face turned more pale like a corpse , I had black bags below my eyes as I lacked sleep due to the constant nightmares. I stopped watching myself in mirror coz I was scared to even see myself.

Sometimes ,vidyut called me to know about my health and that was one type of distraction which made me feel relieved. He cared for my health. Maybe he could be a jerk but I think now he is much better than Neil.

As usual it's evening 6o'clock and I locked myself inside of my room carrying nothing but hollowness in my heart. I don't want to meet anyone it's because their words are only making me feel like a coward and they make me feel so weak and bad.

Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted as soon as I heard knock on my door.

I sighed.

"Pari, Please I'm sleepy I'll talk with you tomorrow. " I lied and this is nth reason I have told to avoid Pari. Seeing her cry watching my pain is making me feel creepy from heart. And I feel guilty as because of me she is also suffering. Sometimes obsessive thought's ran inside of my brain but I didn't empowered them.

"Avni, it's rohan here. He wants to talk with you " I heard her shouting from outside.

Rohan, he is not only my best friend but also he helped me in many things. I even can't imagine what would have happened to me without him. He took down that video within 24 hours with the help of hackers and even those who downloaded , their phones were blocked. I'm so thankful to him.

I sighed and walk towards door to open.

"Hey " Rohan chirped as soon as I opened my room door.

"Hi" I smiled tightly. Pari was standing beside him her face was sad. I know she told rohan what's happenned in our flat all these days.

"I want or talk with you avni. " rohan said calmly.

"I'm tired can I talk Tom... " my word's get interrupted.

"This is the same excuse you are giving us since week. But not now. Today you will talk with us " rohan told strictly.

I took huge breath.

"Okay, but we will talk in hall coz my room is a whole mess " I chuckled faintly.

Later we assembled in hall but no one talked. Everything was silent except sound of fabric. I know there's alot to speak yet our mouths shut off.

"You will come to college from tomorrow. " Rohan told sternly.

Suddenly my body turned stiff ,my hands begun to freeze cold. I could feel my heart beats raising.

"I...don't want to come. " I mumbled looking down.

"How many days avni? How many days you will hide yourself from outside world. " Rohan shouted and stood up from couch angrily.

I flinched.

I bit my inner cheeks to control the tears that threatened to fall. Yes, I'm running away from my life, people, everything. I created a closed shell for myself and I'm living in it without talking or speaking with anyone. Not even Pari.

"Answer me. " he again shouted.

"Rohan calm down " I heard Pari say. But I didn't dared to look at them. my face gazed still down, and suddenly I felt tears pricking down my cheeks. I felt my chest tightening to even breathe. I

"I... Can't... " I chocked out. I don't know my voice burried inside of my mouth. Tears ran down my cheeks and I immediately wiped them off my elbow.

"Avni... "

I looked at rohan with teary eyes. He starred at me shocked.

"Oh my God! Avni. Are you crying? " he came towards me and hugged me tight.

"Hey.. Don't cry. I'm sorry. " he patted my back saying.

I sobbed more in his arms. My tears drenched his shirt.

"I can't take this anymore... I can't bear this pain.. I want to go back to my home....my village. I don't want to be here... I want my mom... " I cried out and held his shirt tight into my fists.

My body started shivering and my throat , it tightened even more.

Rohan soothed me. I withdrew hug and wiped my tears. I looked at Pari and rohan they were crying. Because of me.. I'm making everyone cry.

"Avni.. Don't cry I'm sorry I don't know why I shouted on you " he said as he wiped my tears.

I looked at him

"I'm scared rohan..I'm scared. If I come to college everyone will judge me. They will speak anything about my character ,my family. They will name me with disgusted things and I can't take them. I'm so scared to come. " I at least reveal my inner agony to him.

"I understand avni but listen you haven't have any fault. It was Neil's fault then why are you hiding? He should hide, he should face those useless people not you.Don't you think he should get punishment for his deeds tell me ?" Rohan said ,his every word felt right.

"But... Neil..he is a.. rich guy and he can manipulate any one with his powers and me I don't have anything for my support. I'm just a middle class girl " I hicupped ,A lone tear passed down my face.

"Who am I to you? Huh! Kya Mai support nhi hu tumhe. Ye kafi nhi hai? Avni listen maybe he is rich but I know Neil very well he can't do anything if we have proof and now me and Rahul got some solid proff against him. We will tell dean about all this and then they will take care of him nicely " he told me.

"Neil... He is your best friend right. Because of me...please don't break your friendship with him... Rohan cuts me off.

"Are you serious? The day he forced you and made your character bad from That day he doesn't exist for me " He gritted his teeth.

"But.."

"The avni I know is stronger than anyone ,moreover don't you wanna complete you're dream of studying engineering?" he asked.

I looked at him. Every single thing I did to achieve my dream of admission flashed in my brain. The way I went to write my entrance exam against my father's will.The way I promised my mom that I'll make everything perfect made me feel I'm spoiling myself with all this. Past is past and now I should concentrate on my present. I don't care what people think of me but now I'll achieve my dream that's it and moreover I'll give a best punishment to Neil who ruined my life within days.

"I will come tomorrow rohan " I said with new born confidence.

"That's my girl " rohan, Pari said in an unison and they both hugged me tight.

Author's POV

Next day , Complete silent atmosphere surrounded in Dean's room.

Avni ,Pari, Rahul ,rohan stood on one side while Neil stood alone on another side with his head flung down with guilt. The time he entered inside of college ,he was called my dean. And from that minute he couldn't meet Avni's eyes. He was scared to see her, he was afraid to face her after all what happened between them.

"This is not at all expected from you Neil. " dean said sternly , as he learned the deeds of Neil.

Neil stood silent still looking down. Rohan looked at him, he knew Neil is guilt of everything yet he wants him to get punished.

"Do you have any explanation for this Mr. Khanna? " he again asked.

Neil lips quivered, he wants to speak something yet he couldn't. He was ashamed of himself.

"I expect an answer Mr. Neil " dean shouted this time.

Neil jumped at his place. He was frightened.

Neil slowly raised his head and the first thing he looked is avni. She stood beside Pari with her hands intertwined. For Neil, that minute She looked most pure and innocent girl in the world. He observed her face which was red and fluffy he knew she must be crying. Then soon he realized he was starring at her.

"You did something indescribable Neil . I own an explanation now. Speak something quick " dean said.

Neil snapped his head towards him.

"Whatever happened.. It's just coz of me..I... " Neil stopped that he even couldn't bring those words from his mouth.

"I... Forced avni sexually and....I recorded and uploaded that into internet. " he fumbled, till now tears passed through his eyes.

He glanced at avni. His eyes again flooded with water watching avni pour tears tears out. Her eyes were red and she was starring Neil back. They both eyes were locked with emotions of pain, angry, agony, numbness and hollowness. But no one dare to speak them out.

"Avni do you want to speak something " dean asked her which made her trance broken.

Avni immediately looked away from Neil. She wiped her tears and composed herself.

"I don't wanna speak anything sir. You know what happened between us moreover the stealing exam papers, that one also Neil did by appointing boy of our college and Rahul already proved that in front of you by the footage of CCTV camera. " Avni said blankly without any expressions.

"This is what you do Neil. I thought you are a great student but this.. This is unforgivable. You screened a video and uploaded it. Do you know how much crime is that? " dean screamed, his voice echoed throughout the cabin.

Neil shook his head positively.. Tears flowed through his eyes. His whole body was shaking with fear and guilt.

"You destroyed our college reputation Mr. Neil. And I want your father iny father right now. " dean said in a serious tone.

Neil's eyes widened with horror. His face suddenly turned more pale. He knew if his dad comes to know about this he will never forgive him.

"Sir.. Not.. My dad " Neil tries to say .

"Call your father right now " dean roared making everyone jump with fear. They never saw their principal thus much angry. He was so pissed.

Neil nodded.

Later prakash came to college leaving all his works abruptly as soon as Neil informed him to come . It took 30 minutes to come.

"What happened principal. You called me? " Prakash asked as soon as he entered Dean's office.

Then he observed Neil at one corner with his head down. His face was red and prakash immediately got worried.
But till now he haven't seen avni. On other side avni was shocked realising prakash is Neil's father. The one who gave her job ,the one who trusted her.

"Praksh sir is Neil's father! " avni said with disbelief and looked at rohan.

Rohan sighed and nodded. Before he can speak anything prakash word's let him see toward's him.

"Neil.. My son.. What happened.. Why are you crying ? " prakash asked with worry as he walked towards his son.

Neil didn't dared to look at his father's eyes. From childhood prakash made Neil learn morals and ethics. The first thing he made Neil learn is respect women but now Neil broke everything ,his father's trust.

"Neil tell me bacha! Kya hua? Did anyone said something to you? I swear I'll sue them. " he asked wiping Neil's tears away. Indeed a father would never see their children cry.

"I'll tell you what your son has done. "dean said. Prakash turned his attention towards him that's when he observed avni and rohan.

"Avni..what's are you do here.. And rohan " prakash muttered with shock.

Avni rohan exchanged glances and stood silent they knew there's going to be bomb blast.

"Mr. Khanna. I have good opinion on you but..what Your son I don't think he is as Good like you " dean said.

"what do you mean " prakash told in dead serious tone.

"Do you even know what your son did? " he asked.

" what.. " prakash made a confused face.

Then dean explains everything Neil committed form stealing exam papers to the uploading video.

That's it praksh was shocked to even listen. He looked at Neil who was crying silently.

"No.. Neil will never do like that I know my son. He is good.. He is ideal child one will have.. No.. You're wrong! My son will never do like that"

"Sir lister..

"No.. you listen mister. Before you speak more utter nonsense. I'll complaint in police for harrsimg my son. I know Neil.. I trust him ...but his words get interrupted.

"I did that... " Neil whispered slowly. He couldn't take his dad speaking like that for a criminal. "I did that dad. Sir is saying truth. Whatever he told you is all true. "

"what? " prakash gasped.

"Yes.. Dad.. I "

"Slap.. " prakash slapped him making everyone gasp. Avni stood shocked watching Neil and his father.

"You what? " he shouted

"I..don't know.. I m sorry.. Dad " Neil tried to speak.

"Mr prakash. It's complicated. what should we do with your son? I know it's difficult to believe but see Avni's side. Why she must be feeling? " dean muttered calmly.

"I don't have son anymore. The minute he did that fifthly thing. he lost his father. " prakash said blankly. Neil looked at his father. And nodded his negatively.

"I'm sorry bacha... Maff kardo.... You give punishment to him. " prakash joins his hands before avni could reply prakash goes from there.

"So, Neil.. I really don't want to spoil your life by filling complaint but I want you to leave this college " dean told sternly.

All were shocked to listen.

Avni looked at Neil. He was sobbing silently he didn't said anything against Dean's decision
But avni knew Neil's dream of studying in this college like her. She knew how it feels when we leave something we love.

"I deserve this sir.. I'm ready to accept this. " Neil said blankly. He lost tears in eyes. Like he left everything.

Dean nodded

"No.. Please don't do that " avni whispered. "Please don't throw him out of college. I know he did wrong but.. I don't want him to leave this college. " She adds.

Everyone looked confused.

" Avni, Are you sure? " dean asked.

"Yes.. Give him any other punishment but don't spoil his life with police case and all this " With that avni left the room leaving everyone shocked behind.

Neil's Pov

"Avni.. Wait.. Wait. " I shouted running behind avni. She just ignored me like a flee when I was searching for her from morning .

"Avni.." This time I grabbed her wrist to make her stop abruptly.

"Don't touch me " She chided and took her hand back.

I sighed

"Then, don't run away from me "

"What? why the f*king hell are you behind me? Aren't you happy after ruining my life? " she screamed irritated straight on my face but I care less.

"Please listen to me once. Please.. " I pleaded with hopeful eyes.

Avni breathed hard.

"Okay, I'll give you thirty seconds spill what you want. " she said strictly.

"Thirty seconds no... It's impossible.. " I retorted. How can I even convey in 30seconds.

"Twenty five .. Seconds " avni said looking at her watch.

My eyes widened

"Fifteen seconds "

Oh God what the f*k !

"Two seconds "

"Okay stop. . Thank you & sorry" I shouted loudly & closed my eyes shut.

After a minute I opened my eyes as I didn't got any response.

Avni looked at me expression less.

"Okay.. " She said blankly and turned around to go.

"Hey wait.. What okay? " I gripped her wrist again.

"Didn't I told you to not touch me? " she screamed. "Dare you touch me again, I'll kill you without second thought "she adds.

I took my hand back. I was hurt with her words but I didn't show outside.
I stood silent, my hands turned cold with nervousness.

"By the way why are you thanking for me? " she questioned.

"Because of What you said in dean office. After all what happened between us you still.. "

"No... " she interrupted.

"Don't you dare to think I did all those things for you. Or I forgave you.I did coz why you should leave happily outside of college when I'm suffering here ? I want you to suffer like me and I'll make sure you will " she gritted her teeth.

"Avni listen.. I'm extremely sorry "

"Sorry my fu*ing foot ! Simple sorry won't defend your deeds Mr. Neil. Sorry would never bring my character back, sorry will never take my pain away
So please keep your sorry to yourself. " she shouted, her body was shaking.

"Avni please... "

"Listen Mr. Neil Khanna. Don't piss me off more with your fake acting and sympathy and get lost from my life " she warned pointing finger towards me and left leaving me heartbroken with guilt and agony.

I knew it's going to be hard , but I won't stop my efforts of winning her thrust. I swear I'll make everything perfect again.

Avni if you think you're hard enough to crack then be ready to bear my stubborness. I won't leave you, until you forgive me.

Pov ends.
