Avni reached the home. She just parked the car and removed the seat belt,  when suddenly a flashlight from the headlights of a car falls on her face, and she looks in that direction with a sudden shocked look.

She was taken aback as she saw Neil and Ali getting out from that car.

After having that talk at the bar, both Neil and Ali left in neil's car to reach at avni's place.

Avni was still processing their sudden arrival, when Ali just came and opened the door of her car, and he picked up aarya in his arms. He held sleeping aarya in his hands and avni looked at him in surprise.

she also came out of the car and asked....

Avni : Ali....wh..what are you doing...? Or Neil tum...tum yaha kya kar rhe ho....?

Ali : Relax avni....sab pta chal jayega.....

Avni : Or aarya....aarya ko kaha le jaa rhe ho...? Ho kya rha hai ye sab...? she was so confused and was unable to understand what these boys are upto..

Suddenly neil held avni's hands and said....

Neil : Come with me avni.....he spokw and start taking her along towards his car

Avni : WHAT...? Neil ye kya ho rha hai.....or tum..tum kaha le jaa rhe ho mujhe....? Or Aarya.....neil aarya akeli....

Neil : Relax avni....Ali aarya ko apne ghar le jaa rha hai, aaj raat aarya ali ke paas rhegi. So he will take care. Or tum bas mere saath chlo....

Avni was so hell confused. She looked at Ali, while ali just smiled and assured her to go.

She sat in the car with neil, and neil drove them away. While on the other hand, Ali smiled looking at aarya that how peacefully she is sleeping, and then he take her along to his house.

...........

Avni : Neil mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa  rha....Ye ho kya rha hai...? Tum Ali se kab mile....or ye sab kya hai....tum kya karna chah rhe ho...or...or hum jaa kaha rhe hai....? she asked unable to figure out what's happening.

Neil : Offo kitna bolti ho tum...thodi der chup nhi reh sakti...... neil replied getting irritated with her constant rants...

Avni eyed at him, she then smirked and looked outiside the window.

While neil looked at her and smiled secretly. As he knew avni will going to love the place they are going.

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

After few minutes , they finally reached their destination and neil stopped the car.

Avni suddenly looked around and she was speechless, her body went numb looking at that place...because It was the place where their journey was started, where they met for the first time, and where they fallen in love with each other ' 'Their College.....'

Avni : N....neil....t..tum mujhe yaha kyu leke aaye ho...?

neil looked at her and replied

Neil : Yahi woh jagah hai avni....jaha mujhe tum mili, jaha se humare pyaar ki shuruwat hui thi... he said with a smile on his face

Avni was still in a shock, but looking at their college she could not hold her emotions back. All thosw beautiful memories started flashing in front of her eyes.

It was 10 p.m. in night, and there was no one around except the security guard of college.

Neil got out of the car, followed by avni and they asked the permissiom to go inside. The security guard looked at neil and watching 'The Neil Khanna' here, the security guard could not deny. He agreed and allowed them to go inside.

Avni was surprised to be back here. For that moment, she just forgot everything and there was a sweet smile on her face, as she was remembering those happy moments of them.....

The college was all empty. Neil and Avni entered inside.....and looked around everywhere....

They were walking in the playground when neil said....

Neil : Yaad hai avni....yahi ground me hum sab mila karte the, humare pure group ke saath.....or fir kuch hi der me, sabse chupke, hum dono gayab ho jaya karte the.... he said with a smile

avni laughed remembering that, how they just held each others hands and left to their own place to spent time with each other.

Avni : Haan....or tum hamesha mujhe music room me le jaya krte the, apna song sunane....vaha or koi nhi hota tha. Or sab hume thundte rehte thhe.... she said and they both smiled remembering that

Then they went inside and looked at each n every place where they had spent time together. Each place has its own story, their own moments of happiness which they were remembering now.

Neil : Or yaad hai avni....jab bhi humari ldai hoti thi, tum gussa hoke yaha...iss jagah pe aa jati thi....

He said as they now reached their secret spot. It was a lonely corner in the corridors area, where no one usually comes.

Avni smiled, and said getting emotional....

Avni : ye jagah kaise bhul sakti hun.....Humara secret spot. Kisi ko iss jagah ke baare me nhi pta hota tha......no one can spot us here.
Or tum,mujhe bohot rulane or intezar krane ke baad...yaha manane aate the..... she said while she was smiling remembering those sweet old days.

Neil smiled as they were cherishing those moment they spent at that place,

After few minutes, neil slowly looked at her and said.....

Neil : And we also had our first kiss here....he said with that intense look on his face

While hearing that, avni's face expressions changed, she slowly looked at him and they both shared an intense eye lock, remembering their first kiss.

They were lost in each others eyes, remembering the things they used to do , the moments they had spent, the love they used to share. All those were the best moments for them. And today, they somewhere miss that bond they used to share. They miss their love that is lost somewhere.

After sometimes avni broke the eye contact and looked down,stealing eyes from him. Neil sighed and said.....

Neil : Tum janna chahti thi na, ki main tumhe yaha kyu laya hu....Taaki hume ye yaad aa jaye avni ki hum kaun the, kaise hua krte the, or ek dusre se kitna pyaar karte the.....

avni then looked up and slowly looked him in his hazel brown eyes...

neil continued.....

Neil  : Haan avni.....hum vahi neil or avni hai....jo jyada der ek dusre se dur nhi reh paate the....Chahe kitni bhi ladai hojaye, lekin aakhir me vapis ek dusre ke paas hi aate the......Hum ladte the jhagadte bhi the...lekin pyaar...pyaar kabhi kam nhi hua.

He said while avni was getting emotional hearing this. Her heart beats was racing fast, she knew wjy he is saying all this, and where he is taking this....butvshe didn't, didn't want to become weak again....

Neil then gets more serious, he held her from her shoulders and said looking straight in her eyes...

Neil : Haan humare beech duriyaan aa gayi haiin....janta hun humne bohot kuch khoya hain....lekin kya hum apne pyaar ko ek mauka nhi de sakte.....? Kya hum sab kuch peeche chodke aane wale kal ke baare me nhi soch sakte....?

Avni tum bhi janti ho or main bhi...ki humara pyaar kabhi kam nhi hua.....in 7 saalo me bhi humne sirf or sirf ek dusre se hi pyaar kiya....
Toh kya...kya hum apne pyaar ke khatir....ek nayi shuruwat nhi kar skte...? Bolo avni...kya tum apne pyaar ko ek mauka nhi dena chahti...?

Avni's heart was sinking. She was not looking at him while her eyes got filled with tears. She didn't know how to react. Her heart was not supporting her mind. There was still a conflict of yes or no running inside her mind.

She then just jerked his hands away, wiped her own tears and said.....

Avni : Nhi Neil....h...hum ab dobara kabhi ek nhi ho sakte. Sab kuch kabhi dobara pehle jaisa nhi ho sakta.....m..mujhse nhi hoga ye.... she said while she didnt looked in his eyes.

And with that neil's body went numb. He was unable to understand that why she is still holding herself back...

Avni looked at him and then she turned her face to leave......

..........

She has started walking away , when suddenly her feets stopped. She could not take step further as something falls in her ears which stopped her from moving further.......

"  Dear Neil, its me Avni.....

I tried calling you so many times....but you didnt picked up any of it. I dont know what came between us....I thought we were friends before anything else....and that you can share anything with me. But...i think i was wrong.

Yes, Neil has started the voice mail saved in his phone, which he is hearing from last 7 years , every day....which avni though he never heard.

Voice mail continued.......

It's been 5 days neil...since you left me on our wedding day.
I still dont know why...why you left me alone on that day.
And after that...you didnt even cared to call me...or text me.....?

Kya ab hum itne ajnabee ho gaye hai neil...? Kya tum mujhe miss bhi nhi karte.....? You....you really dont miss me...?

Anyways....today i called you on a purpose. I...i want to tell you something...something very important. But i can't tell you this on a voice mail. You need to call me for that.

And if you will not call me back now...i will never call you again.
I swear neil...I will never disturb you again.

I will find my way to cope up with this pain....and may be I will move on one day....

And even....even if you dont call,
I just want you to know....that i....I always love you...and I always care for you....and I am always there for you....!

'When I gave you my heart.....i decided that you will have my heart forever.....!'

...........voice mail ends.

this was the voice mail which stopped avni from walking away......

She turned around, and looked at neil with tears in her eyes.

She was both surprised and shocked at the same time, that neil still had that voice mail in his phone....which she assumed that he never listened.

Neil :  7 saal....Har roz.... har roz main iss voice mail ko sunta hu avni....Janti ho kyu ?

Kyunki inn 7 saalo me mere paas koi nhi tha....lekin kahi na kahi ye ehsaas tha...ki 'Tum' ho....ye voice mail mujhe ehsaas dilata tha ki tum hmesha mere saath ho.

Tumne kaha ki bhale hi main tumhe call kru ya nhi.....lekin tum tabh bhi hmesha mujhse pyaar krogi...meri fikar krogi...or hmesha mere saath rhogi......he said while he was now having tears in his eyes....

avni was looking at him silently....

he start walking forward to her and he continued....

Neil : Kamzor toh mera pyaar tha avni......kami mere pyaar me thi...
lekin tumne....tumne toh hmesha mujhse pyaar kiya....bina kisi khwahish ke....

Or aaj bhi jab main itne saalo ke baad vapis aaya.....tum chahti to mujhse nafrat kar sakri thi....mujhe apni life se hmesha ke liye dur kar skti thi.....or chahti toh aarya ko bhi mujhse dur rkh skti thi....lekin tumne aisa nhi kiya....

Tumne aisa nhi kiya avni.....Kyunki tum 'Avni' ho...Neil nhi......
Tumhe pyaar karna aata hai....or use nibhana bhi....!

Tumhari jagah main hota toh shayad....shayad kabhi tumhe maaf nhi kar paata....lekin tumne  mujhe maaf kar diya.....mujhe meri beti se milne diya.....usse kabhi dur nhi kiya.....or uske mann me bhi kabhi mere liye nafrat nhi aane di....

avni looked down as she could not control her flowing emotions....tears rolled down her eyes and she started crying.

Neil came forward and slowly held her shoulders, while he asked softly having tears in his eyes.......

Neil : Tum itni achi kaise ho avni...?Hamesha dusro ke baare me sochti ho.....kisi ko bhi takleef na ho...bas yahi koshish karti ho.....sabko khush rakhna chahti ho....
Lekin hamesha....hamesha khudko takleef deti ho.....

Avni was not able to look in his eyes, while she was sobbing hard.....

Neil : Kyu takleef de rhi ho khudko....kyu daba rhi ho apni feelings ko...? Kyu durr rakhna chahti ho khudko mujhse...? he said lookong at her, holding her shoulders tightly

Avni was not lookong in his eyes....while her eyes were having tears...

Avni : Neil please...please choddo mujhe...... she said trying to free herself from his hold.

Neil : Nhi avni....aaj nhi.....aaj main tumhe  khudko takleef nhi dene dunga.....aakhir tumhe bhi haq hai khush rehne ka....pyaar karne ka...

Toh bolo avni...aaj tumhe btana hoga....kehdo ki tum mujhse pyaar nhi karti....kehdo ki tumhare dil me ab mere liye koi jagah nhi hai....... he said in a little louder tone , asking her to tell the truth

avni was holding her emotions back...her heartbeats were increasing

Avmi : Nahi...nahi karti main pyaar tumse... avni said cryingly while she didnt looked in his eyes...

Neil : Meri aankho me dekhke bolo....... he said with intensity in his eyes, while pulling her more closer to him, increasing the proximity between them.....

Avni' heartbeat increased more...as they were too close and neil didn't left any space between them...

Neil : Bolo avni....meri aankho me dekhke bolo......kya nhi karit tum mujhse pyaar...... he asked again being very close to her

Avni : n...nhi.....m...main...main tumse pyaar nhi karti.... avni again lied still not lookong at him...

neil gets more closer near her lips, and her heart beat were racing so fast, as if her heart will just fall out....

Neil : oh really...lekin tumhari dhadkane to kuch or hi keh rhi hai avni...... he said in his husky low voice, he was so close that he can actually feel how fast her heart is beating.

Avni was getting weak on her knees. Their intamacy was making her heart sink....

Neil : Bolo avni...kyu tumhara dil itni zor se dhadak rha hai...?

(he said near her lips and their bodies were touching each others)

Neil : kya ab bhi yahi kahogi ki tum mujhse pyaar nhi karti..... ki mere itne kareeb hone par tumhe kuch feel nhi ho rha....
he said and went more closer, leaving no space for even air to pass between them..

Avni closed her eyes as her heart was beating fast, her senses stopped working. But then  suddenly  she opened her eyes and moved him away and said....

Avni : HAAN...HAAN KARTI HU MAIN TUMSE PYAAR.....BOHOT....BOHOT PYAAR HU TUMSE....saying this tear rolled down her eyes, she got completely shattered and started crying badly...

Neil's heart won, and avni's heart finally lost. She could not hold anymore , she could not lie to herself anymore.... and she finally let out her hearts true feelings in front of neil, while crying....

Avni (crying) : Haan neil...main tumse bohot bohot pyaar karti hu.....
....shayad yahi vajah hai ki main aaj tak tumse nafrat nhi kar paayi....
I love you neil....i still love you.....nahi reh sakti tumhare bina......nhi jee sakti tumhare bina....i need you....i need you neil....i need you in my life.....she said shatterig down.

Finally her heart said the truth....

Neil smiled as she finally opened up winning over her heart, he was so happy hearing the truth from her...

But seeing her crying, his heart sinked. He can't see her in that shattered condition.

He just went to her and without wasting a second took her into a bone crushing hug.....

Neil : Avnii..... he said and immediatly took her into a bone crushing hug...

He held her tightly in hid embrace, and she also hugged him back. She was crying in his embrace, while his heart was full of all the emotions.

Avni : I love you neil....i love you so much.....nhi hoga mujhse ab...main nahi kar sakti or......
m...maine bohot koshish ki tumse nafrat karne ki...tumse dur rehne ki....lekin nhi hua mujhse.....nhi hua mujhseee...... she said crying

Neil : Shhshhhhhh..... neil whispered in her ears in between the hug.....

He just held her more closer, they were so close to each other in that hug, that even their hearts can listen each others  heartbeats.....!
