Gawwed how could I blush on his those imbecile, unrealistic words!

I bit my lips. Seems My cheeks haven't planned leaving this red tint all over my face away soon.

I could have told that old couple, I'm not his wife or whatever he meant to describe me his as. Geez.
I kept quite because they might have go on with then why Arya is calling him Dadda and to me Mum? That would have been little awkward.

Therefore I choose to keep my facade impassive as much as I can pull out.

Banishing all the thoughts away my head I tried to concentrate on the book I was trying to read at the moment keeping my eyes glued on the laptop screen.

Within some minutes later My ears stirred up hearing door bell sound downstairs. My eyes went, on there own at the clock farther my bed, on the study desk.
"Who could come at this hour!" I queried inwardly.

Then I sighed. May be Neil has come to see Arya because I heard him talking to Neil sitting on the couch in dinning hall, while half an hour back I had went to the kitchen to have my coffee.
Before I got freshen up Arya had took my ph saying he need to talk to Neil for something urgent.

"Anyways I don't need to bother him. If he has come then he will leave meeting Arya" I shrugged off my mind and resumed my reading.

I was engrossed in reading leaning to the headrest, my laptop on my lap, I heard a sound. My eyes crinkled away the screen at the direction the sound came from. My gaze stopped at my door frame. I was about to tear away my glance nonchalantly but my heart hitched at the sight.
Neil was standing at my door.

First I thought Mamma must have showed him upstairs to the room he supposed to meet Arya and he mistook mine as Arya's . But there were some kind of emotions in his gaze I saw in his eyes staring at me that I couldn't decipher nor could I uttered a word.

I got off my bed, saw Neil closed the door. He locked it not averting his gaze anywhere except on me. An incredulous gasp slipped out of my mouth.

Within a few seconds I found myself in his embrace. My eyes widened.

Neil engulfed me in a hug wrapping his arms around me, left me stutter a step leaning back by the pressure he put hugging me. He squeezed me in his arms.

I felt my heart stopped beating, breath caught my stomach.

I heard him sniffed !

I was completely mystified first by his arrival inside my room. But now I'm beyond capable to think anything. My body stiffened, forehead creased.

"I am sorry" the only word he uttered and buried his face on my shoulder.
I felt all my hair there on my neck stood up.

His voice broken as if he is in a great pain.
I wanted to push him but I felt my knees became jelly, I can't move them.
Everything went blur in front of my eyes, don't know how long we stayed like that. He was hugging me and me blank.

And he parted.
Neil cupped my face, his thumb rubbing the side of my face gently.

I stood there, stagnant, impenetrable.
What's wrong with him! His eyes were glassy searching mine.

"Sorry for avoiding you" he leaned closer.

I got frozen, rooted on the ground like a statue.

"Sorry for being rude, everytime you had approached me" I couldn't help but stared at his face.

"Sorry for not responding to your feelings" his hands release my face and held my shoulder, I already missing his warmth.
I swallowed, not a second my eyes left him. I had almost forgotten to blink.

"Sorry for hurting you. Not just once but innumerable times knowing and unknowingly" his right hand caress my cheeks whipping my tears, another one was still on my shoulder. I didn't know when my tears started flowing down my cheeks, my heart was no more impenetrable.

"Sorry for saying you those heart wrenching words I had said you last day in canteen" and he kept saying.

"Sorry for not appologizing you , instead neglecting you" I signed deeply, opened my mouth. But he shushed me, rested his forehead on mine and we both closed our eyes. This time a restful sigh left us together.

"I always liked you, do you know that!" His voice felt surreal to my ears. His eyes reopened, tilted, as I did. His gaze coveted over mine.

"The day I saw you I was confused whether I would approach you to be a friend or not. I didn't know how to do that.
But you know right, Neil Khanna had never been that easy nut to crack. I like to be in my shell, the coating engraved arrogance, uppity, smug or rather distant to people not known much.
It was always been difficult for me to realize how instantly I felt something unusual by your presence around me the day I saw you first.
I was subsequently falling for a girl who I used to be forcefully considered her as an average out of the lot.
But the truth was certain, abundant, that she was extraordinary, in every means.
Perfect to fit in my heart, the girl Neil Khanna had been subconsciously questing for since he never new actually he met his dream girl" his gaze was fervent. His voice deep.

"Yes you are rare. Special. A dream of every man, to meet someone like you" his words made my tears dribble down. Before my heart get exploded beating faster my knees weekend and I fell on the floor kneeling there.

******

Avni fell on her knees covering her face in between her palms. Her shoulder quivered with every deep snivel she took. She felt her body crippled. There wasn't any strength left in her to let a single word, out of her mouth. She collapsed on the floor.

Neil did the same kneeling down in front of her. He hugged her tight, contrite, remorseful. She was still in that position only the difference is her head slightly pressed on Neil's chest.
He stroke his fingers gently over her hair "Will you forgive me!" He beseeched gulping his sobs, rested his cheeks on her forehead.

If you can't forgive, then you have never loved..

Avni

People do experience failure, rejection, refusal in life, more than they might have expected to being in such situations.
Then why I felt so heart broken, so affected, fragile by his words!

It was always been me who had feelings for him. Not him.

He had never showed any interest on me, nor ever acted anything encouraging  that I could have gotten some clue. Never.

It was always me, who fell for him.

He had said those words for me that day, nobody should have said for any person without knowing his or her side of story, that's fact.
But his words weren't so hateful or shattering sculpted to someone's root, that could cause offence, loss of someone's respect or self-esteem.

Or I could say everything has caused so much damage to my heart because those words had come out from the person whom it belongs to. Still.

Was this the reason! then I would say I had over reacted carrying those resentment, disgrace for him unnecessarily since years.

Wasn't it an act of being too fragile by heart!
I think so.

It wasn't so big as I have always thought of it.

It wasn't any grave blunder he has done to me, that couldn't be possible to get back grip out of it.

I had always been that meek, isolated soul.

Or everything so was intolerable to me because, I was in love with the person who never had reciprocated to my feelings.
Because it never been a rejection, it's been an....

I couldn't continue my inner battle. I was interrupted by Neil.

"I was a jerk" My shoulder flinched, heard him gnawing. I pulled my body away his embrace and tilted my chin up at him.

"Neil khanna was a biggest jerk, he let go the most precious girl of his life" he gritted his teeth, looked down, held my hands. His gaze softened. And my heart hitched by this sight. This Man.

And then I was feeling bad for him.
I really went too much rude to him. Silly me.

"I know you wouldn't believe me, you are thinking what caught me all of a sudden!! Why I'm behaving just opposite of myself!" Neil let out a soft chuckled, his eyes were swollen for tears.

"Because I have got this very clear what I was missing in my life. It's you" he lifted his eyes and I gasped.

"I want you" his voice was deep. Neil leaned to my face, our gaze matched. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out of it.

"I have never been this sure for any other person in my entire life until I met you after those years" He licked his lips heaving a sigh as if he was preparing himself for something he had decided to say long time ago.

"Will you be my dreams!" I saw his eyes unfeigned, something I have craved for, since I started liking him. Still everything felt indecisive.
May be I'm dreaming.

He might have heard my heart this time "The dream I would never want to be ended. Not this life nor next if I take birth being human any other time" he chuckled nervously but immediately his eyes caught back it's seriousness.

"Will you be my heartbeat! that I'm missing since how long I haven't any idea about.
Will you be mine!" He cupped my face and waited for me to speak.

A sob stuck in my throat, I melted.

*********

"It's okay Neil, life keeps throwing us on to face such humiliation, being snub, disesteem by someone we barely expects. It's a part how life turn you into a better person, strong and tolerance.
I wasn't much stronger by heart so it took me sessions to overcome my insecurities. If someone else would have been in my place then she might have never been this broken....But now I have learned, it's nothing in my hand changing people's perception about me, such things do not bother me anymore. They don't know me, they would judge. I'm happy the way I am" Avni stated tenderly. She got away him and rested her back against the bed edge. They were still sitting on the carpeted floor. Neil took a glance and mimicked her position. He took her hand in him cautiously. She wanted to take away her hand but his grip tightened.

"I wasn't a bad guy, trust me. I was just a bit oblivious about the events around me. I have never fallen for any one before. Therefore logically, I didn't know how it feels falling for someone. What exactly a person goes through having those love feelings. It was rather easy to shield my emotions underneath a hard cover of my expressionless features" he heaved a sign and resumed. Avni looked at him momentarily in disbelief.
Is that the same arrogant, condescending guy she used to pass over!!

"I had never played with anyone's emotions neither promised something I hadn't believed or ever happened.
Yes I had always been a person ill-tempered, extremely status conscious, but I had never intended to hurt people.
If I did, trust me It wasn't purposely, never intentionally. Things just kept happening involuntarily......I wish I could have reverted the time...go back...make things easier between us...." This got Avni skitted her gaze at him. Her heart felt contented.

"Stop. uff you talk too much. You had never been this much talkative! Are you!" Avni stopped him speaking. She kept her palm on his lips, shut his mouth. She glared at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Then say yes" he slowly pulled her hand down away his lips, his voice begged. Neil stared at her intensely.
His breath caught his throat waited eagerly for her reply, in his favour.

And there are voices
That want to be heard

So much to mention
But you can't find the words

The sent of magic
That beauty that's been

When love was wilder than the wind
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you

Listen to your heart
There's Nothing else you can do
I Don't know where you going and I don't know why

Listen to your heart

Before.....

You tell him Good Bye.
