~ Avni ~
I awake feeling horrible. A loud groan passes from my mouth as I come back to reality, accompined by horrific ache all around my My body.
"Oh Avni dear, You awake ?" I heard someone say, I open my eyes to fullest but immediately regretted as I was greeted by a bright light. I squinted my eyes tight not ready to adjust such a light.
I carefully sat up and looked around to see that I was surrounded by tillu and my family members. There faces were dull and sad.
"Wait where am I?&.. I'm in Tillu's room? How the heck did I reach here ?
My small chain of thoughts snapped out when I hear a small whisper.
"Avni.. Bacha "
I look up to see Mom , who is crying ; her face fluffed red ,looked like she cried for hours.
"Mom " I shuttered , my eyes welled up with tears as my brain flashes the horrific incidents that happened with me.
"How are you feeling bacha? " Mom asked, her voice was soft and calm yet I could feel she drank the tears back while speaking.
"What happened to me ...did they ? " I asked, an unknown fear caught in my body as the last thing I remember was Alex ripping my top off.
"No.. Neil saved you before anything could have happened! " Mom smiled..
My eyes widened, tillu saved me.
"How? " I questioned till not understanding how did he find me. I know tillu is not dumb but..
"With the help of police force. And those basta*ds are in custody , I swear I'll kill them " Dad hissed from the side.
I still remember how I begged them to leave me , how I cried to not to touch me but they did. They kissed me forcibly, I could feel their mouths on my skin. I feel impure.
"Maa.. I feel.. Dirty.. They touched me maa yet I couldn't do anything.. Maa.. Please erase their touch please Maa.. Papa.. Please papa.. " I cried out loud, maa hugged me tight accompanied by other family members.
"Bacha.. Shh.. Yese.. Nhi rote.. You're pure... Forget it like a bad dream " dad says patting my head.
"How can I forget dad... How " I sobbed, tears drenched my face. I hugged ma and dad for along time until my cries came to end.
"Ma.. " I whispered .
"Ha bacha "
"Where is tillu? " I asked wiping my tears. .
"He is there outside. I'll call him. " she answered.
"Take care avni.. I'll make your favorite cupcakes okay " sweta aunty chirped, wiping her tears.
"Okay " I smile , I wanted Neil.. My tillu.. I want to thank him, hug him. Woah I'm so excited after realising my love for him.
Later , every one left leaving me alone in bedroom. I closed my eyes with exhaustion but sudden click of door made my eyes snap open.
"I knew who it is. It's Neil.. OMG..I don't know how I will face with my tomato face.oh lord help this poor child".
I prayed mentally, I know I'm stupid thinking all this stuff at this time but believe me this incident only caused me to realise my love for tillu. Indirectly somewhat I'm thankful to those bast*ds.
My eyes flickered towards the door where Neil is standing. I looked at him, his face was red.. And emotionless.
Wait.. What? Never. Ever I saw him like this.
His eyes were dark with an unknown emotion.
I thought he will hug me.
I thought he will kiss my face mumbling sweet words. That's what he do when I'm in pain.
When I was in my 8th grade I tripped and fell down, on that time Neil took care exactly like that. I remember.
But now. He even not has spoken a word. He just stood at the door staring at me with those brown pericing eyes.
"Till.." My words get cut off by him.
"Neil..Call me Neil.. " he says, coldly.
I was taken back. He said to call him Neil..My throat tightened. Tears welled up in my eyes. But I controlled them not to spill.
Neil looked everywhere but not me. Why he is behaving like that?
He isn't my tillu.
"Have you taken your pills? " I heard tillu speak. His voice was calm.
"Yea " I barely spoke due to the lump that has formed in my throat.
"okay, " he said and stated to leave.
WHAT? He can't do like this. Atleast he even didn't asked me how am I feeling. Did I hurt him?
"Neil.. Stop " I breathe.
"what? " he replies turning around.
"Ymm.. Thank you " I say as I wanted to know what's happening here why there's is tension scene between us.
Instead of reply tillu crooked his one eyebrow up.
"Well, if you would have listened to my words then mujae ye sab karneki jaroot nhi padti. Right? " He says. That's it my heart stopped beating.
How could he?
Anger flared In my body.
"I didn't have dreams that it would happen. " I snapped back . My body was shaking.
"yes,... It wouldn't have happened if you wouldn't have behaved like a child. " he muttered
"What do you mean? " I asked not understanding the meaning behind his words.
"Why did you go there alone with him. Your plan was to meet up at lounge right? " he gritted his teeth.
That's it I could feel my eyes tearing up . I know what he is indicating too. Did he think I behaved like a child, who went alone with a boy without thinking anything.
"So you think this is my mistake don't you? " I questionesd ,my voice turned emotionless.
"I'm not saying its your fault. What I'm saying is behave like a mature girl. Har bar Mai nhi rehunga tumhe bachane keliyae " he shouted and walked out of room shutting the door behind.
I flinched, tears prickled through my eyes. I could fell my chest tighting up. I could barely breathe..
He thinks I'm burden. Doesn't he?
He thinks I'm still achild. I know I did wrong but. Is it all my fault?
I closed my eyes, remembering his hurt full words .
Itna dard mujae kabhi nhi hua. Jitna tillu ke bathe Se hua hai.
I sobbed silently, my body ached coz of the bruises yet I couldn't feel the pain coz the pain that I'm suffering in my heart is more that of it.
I could feel my mouth getting dryer. I want water. But I can't walk to the table as I have cuts along my leg and foot.
But I'm not a child to ask any one help. Right?
I slowly get up from bed but immediately regretted as pain shooted through out my body.
"I'm not a child. I'm strong. I can. Do it"
Suppressing the pain behind. I tip toed towards the table. I could feel the throbbing pain in my legs.
I tried to grab the water glass. But my hands shaked indicating how delicate I have become after the incident.
Nevertheless, I took hold of it. But before I could have drink , it tripped down breaking into pieces.
"Ahh.. Maa " I shouted as a piece of glass directly pierced in my foot.
"Ahh " I cried out again , bending to the level of my foot.
I cried, due to the burning sensation that occurred coz of glass. I tried to take off but I couldn't. It's bleeding!
It hurts.. Damn! It's hurts hard.
"Oh my God! Avni " I heard a shout. I snapped my head to see all family members gathered.
" Bcha kya hua " mom, dad ran towards me.
"It's nothing.. I'm fine " I lied looking at Tillu. He stood there like a rock.
"What nothing. Deko chub gyi. You could have called us na avni " mom said picking the piece off.
I hissed.
"I'm not a child to call for small things mom, I can take care myself " I said sternly.
Shock was written on every family member face which I hated it.
"Are you serious avni. You have wounded your leg. " dad hissed.
"That's what I'm saying. I'm not a kid. I'm mature enough to take care of myself and now I don't want to be your burden. So please leave me alone for sometime I beg you" I shouted. Tears rolled out of my eyes.
"Avni " Ma trailed off.
"Please.. Mom go.. I don't wanna talk "
I scream frustrated. I really don't want anybody help. why don't they understand? Because of thsee pampering Neil thinks I'm still a child.
"Avni. What happened? You were all right when we left then what happened beta ? " Sweta auntie asked , as she caressed my cheeks.
"I'm. Fine. " I reply looking at my lap. Tears still poured out of eyes. My breaths became somewhat stable but my heart thumped still hard.
I could feel sweta auntie leaving my side. And the next second I heard a sharp slap sound.
My head snapped towards the direction only to witness sweat aunty slapped Neil.
I gasped.
"You said all these to her.Didn't you ?".She asked Neil. Her voice was cold.
Oh lord. I have messed!
The last time I saw her angry was when Neil placed bunch of Slimy toy lizards in my bathroom and locked door from outside. That day I had severe panic attack.
Slimy toy lizards are creepy. I hate them. (Well I hate them too🤒😦)
"Answer me Neil? " She shouted. "You were here after we left. And you scolded her." she hissed.
"Auntie it's not like that. Neil haven't said anything " I piped in rescue.
"From when did you started to call tillu as Neil? " she asked .
I looked everywhere not understanding what to say.
Okay.. Tillu is gone. Rip in advance :'(.
"What did you say to her Neil?Are you out of your mind. She just came from such a big incident and you...You scolded her. How could you? " she asked with disbelief.
Tillu stood silent.
"I knew you were angry and l thought you would understand about her condition.but.no... ,I was wrong. " she screamed .
Neil hasn't said anything. His face paled.
"Mom dad, why are you watching like a statue. Stop auntie. He didn't have any fault I swear . " I cried out.
"No Avni. He did have a fault. And I'm warning you Neil ,If you speak anything wrong again with avni then I swear, I don't know what I'll do ". She says and walks out of room.
I stood stunned.
What happened here? God I have messed everything. I looked at Neil. His face was red and he had tears.
I made him cry! Oh my God. I made him cry. It's all my fault. I cried with that thought.
Neil looked at me and left the room. I tumped on the bed with a thud.
"MA I made tillu cry. Because of me sweta aunty shouted on him " I sobbed placing my hands towards on my face.
"Don't cry. Vunka gussa jaldi hi chala jayga. " she said.
"I want to rest will you both go? " I mumbled.
"if you want any help please call us avni " she says kissing my forehead.
I nodded and layed on bed side ways.
Tears spilled out my eyes. How much happened in these two days.
Tillu and Me were never like this. We had beautiful memories but now everything seems to be destroyed.
I sobbed wetting my pillow.
***
Later ,sleep was far away from me. I just tossed on bed. I wanted Neil but iknow he won't come here.
But my body stiffened with sudden open of door. I slept side ways and closed my eyes pretending to sleep.
I don't know who is it. Hope it's not a ghost.
Steps sounds were near and I could feel someone come my side.
I smiled... I know who it is.
Neil
I clamed my nerves. Breathing heavily.
The mattress dips and I feel him settle beside me, his presence causing the hairs on the back of my neck prick.
"Avni " He whispers as he wraps an arm around me pulling closer towards him.
I didn't respond.
Suddenly I could feel tears on my back.
"I'm so sorry.. Avi.. So sorry.. " he said, his voice cracked.
His warm breath tickled my ear as
cried in my neck. His hand was on my waist. He was hugging me side ways.
"please talk to me, ik you are awake. I'm sorry. Please talk to me " he sobbed wetting my neck".
I sigh contently.
I wanted to turn around and wanted to speak with him. But my body stiffened at its place.
Tears spilled out but I couldn't deny he shouted on me.
I closed my eyes not speaking anything. Coz iknow my silence would be his punishment.
Pov ends.
