Avni's POV

I was dressing up. I knew I had to look good. I was a little shaky as to what if I cannot match up to Neil's expectations. What if I make a fool of myself in the party.I was never a party girl but I had attended quite a few of those boring parties with dad after his film productions and all. Where I got tired of introducing myself. I tell one of them the other pops up "Miss what is your name". Phew!!Well today was different and I am sure where there is Neil involved everything would be out of the box. So like a chain reaction where there is Neil I would also love that place. I wore an off shoulder gown. It was a magenta colour one. I put on some pink lipstick. I kohled my eyes with a little bit of mascara. Though I am really bad at doing makeup and stuff but for the first time I was making an attempt to look good. I did not do anything with my hair. I simply let it loose. I knew that if I did something with my hair it would end up being a scattered nest. I checked myself in the mirror. I looked different that was all I could tell. Whether I looked good different or not was something unknown to me .I was nervous as if I was going to give my maths test right now .That jitterish feeling.I sat down on the bed waiting for it to be 6.Neil would escort me then. It was about 5 minutes to 6.I was nervous yet I was happy. Neil wanted me to accompany him. He wanted to tell people that I was his wife. I smiled. Something that I was dying for. Maybe I was successful in making his stone heart a human heart bound with humanity, love, care and other human feelings.

Neil's POV

I got down from the car. I was wearing a black tuxedo. I had to take Avni to the party.I knew what I was going to do. In reality I was dying for revenge. To kill Avni every moment just the way she made me feel. I went towards our room. I don't know but since we were married whenever I opened the room of my door I felt a strange peace surging within me. As if I was home. That light aroma and the very existence of the lady inside made me feel butterflies in my stomach being outside. I brushed away all these reckless , imposter thoughts. These have no value now. Right now my main motive is to make sure that she never returns to this room again. She must be out of my room just like she has departed from my life. I pushed the door to find Avni sitting on the bed. I was rooted to the spot. She was looking....I was not getting words to explain. She looked 'gorgeous'. Her slender and petite figure draped in a magenta colour gown. Her neck and shoulder completely visible. Her curves ruining all my attempts to look away. The gown ended with many frills and stuff. Her hair hanging loose. She looked so beautiful like the beauty which an elegant lady carries but the difference was that she also had that innocence about her. She was like an innocent fairy who has taken away so many hearts but is unknown of the fact. She smelt of roses and mixed with a special flavour which only she had. Many a times I have sniffed to inhale her aroma within me. Her very presence right in front of me was making me utterly weak. Avni turned while I was still trying to regain my composure. I saw Avni looking at me. The red tingeing her cheeks while she showed me her most gracious smile. Something inside my mechanism broke, stopped, ended but I felt so happy that I was the reason which gave her the beautiful smile with which she was adorned. Avni got up and did something which ruined all of my defence grounds. She rushed towards me and hugged me tightly. I melted. Yep literally melted. I got to smell her again. Her touch working wonders on me. I hugged her back and pushed her closer to me. A teardrop escaped my eyes. I knew I was going to miss her so badly .I never wanted to let her go but I had to. I took her within me for the last time maybe. After that she is going to hate me to the core. I dug my face in the crook of her neck. It was barren while I caressed her bare shoulders with my lips. Before I could do something which I would repent later I went back.

I: So ready

Avni: Always.

I made her sit in the car. I drove .It was a very silent ride while the war with my inner self continued. Was I doing the correct thing? was the first question I asked myself. I had no answers to that question. I just shut my thought and focused on Avni. I stole glances. I wanted to fill my brain with enough pictures of her. We reached our destination. We were entering as a couple but the exit would be of two strangers who are walking their own paths.

On entering many of my clients and acquaintances bombarded me with questions about Avni. They all wanted to know who the lady was.

I announced: Meet my wife. Avni Neil Khanna.

Avni shook hands with all of them. I knew that many people had their eyes on her. She was actually dressed to kill. I gave all of them stern glances while they backed off. I can ruin their lives if I want. So why take such huge risks. Avni was talking to Mrs Arora. I knew she was utterly bored but she was still hanging onto the conversation. I smiled seeing her plightful condition.

I went to the bar to have a drink but suddenly I was reminded of my promise. I had promised Avni that I won't drink. Great now I can't even drink to forget this world. I was really very scared, frightened, angry and god knows what.

Suddenly the lights went dim. It was time to hit the dance floor. I looked about in search of Avni. She was right there waiting for me .I went towards her. A lump was formed in my throat. I did not know what was happening. I just took her to the dance floor. I clasped her one hand with my hand and then tightened my grip on her waist. She had her eyes boring into me. I hate that feeling. Her eyes makes me feel so weak. We swayed in the music. Avni being a dancer made her steps so light and elegant. I somehow matched her beat. It was then just us. She twirled and then landed on my chest. Her small hands on my chest. I again concealed her within me. We were just playing to the tune. We were so close. I could hear her huffing. I was sure she could also hear me panting and my heart beats were also audible because they were running 100 km per hour.

After that I could not help myself. I closed the gap between our lips. She was shocked for a second but later she too reciprocated. I pushed her head more into me with my hand. I wanted her. It was a rough kiss. I was venting out all my anger and frustration. I chewed her lips and then invaded my tongue in .It was a battle of our tongues but I dominated. I tasted each any corner of her mouth. It was such a sweet and heavenly taste.

After that we parted. Both of us were panting. Our moment was broken by the claps. Thankfully lights were dim so no one could see our kiss. I knew I was craving for her. I was frustrated .Now I just had to do what I had come here for. I had to destroy Avni. I went to make all further arrangements.

Avni's POV

When we parted I would have fallen down because I was feeling so weak and dizzy .He tasted so good. I was blushing like anything. We both had come really very close. Moreover he looked so hot in that tuxedo. It was very difficult to hold hands and not do anything. Still it was he who initiated the wild kiss so I was kinda very happy.

It was then that I saw Neil on the stage. The love of my life on the stage. I focussed on him and gave him a smile but he did not return it back. Very confusing.

Neil: So I hope you all know who I am.

All of them chorused: Of course we do.

Neil: you guys must be wondering why you were called for this party all of a sudden.

One of them spoke up: I think the party is for your brilliant work in the industry and the number one position you have been holding for so long.

Neil smirked: Nice try but no.

God knows what is he up to. I did not even know that it was he who has organised this party.

I suddenly got reminded of what Mrs Arora was saying.

Mrs Arora: Your husband is madly in love with you. Just look how he constantly looks at you now and then. There you go this is the 21st time he looked at you with the corner of his eyes. He has even positioned himself in such a way that you are clearly visible to him.

I did not reply just blushed.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I was not paying attention to what Neil was saying so I again resumed my concentration on Neil.

Neil :So do you all know what is betrayal. When someone cheats on you or does things that pierces you heart and breaks it into two. It is the worst feeling ever. So everyone I have a slideshow for all of you. It shows how low a person can fall.

I was in a dilemma whom was he talking about .Who cheated on him that he is feeling such intense pain. The lights went dim and the projector flashed pictures on the screen. As the picture became clear.I saw it was me with a boy in a very compromising position. I felt like the ground just left my feet. I was sinking in vacuum. I was so stupefied that I could not even react. The pictures continued to change. All of it was mine. I could not feel anything. I just stared at the pictures with wide open eyes. The murmuring of the people audible to me .The common thing which everyone was saying "what a characterless girl she is and no one could even understand about her nature. Great actress too". I felt very weak in my legs. Tears had not yet clouded my eyes. I was in a trauma .I just stared back blankly .I knew it was not me but how will I prove that. After a few seconds when I started to feel things when finally the pain reached out to me. My eyes clouded with tears.I felt every one shifting away from me. I could hear one woman saying to his husband "Move away from her. She has got a very bad eye on men. You dare go close to that girl". I could not see anything because of the tears .I did not bother to rub them off. I looked in front to find Neil standing there. It was he who has done all of it. He was right he snatched everything .He took away my respect, my self esteem my everything .He destroyed me .I was finished. I did not even have the power to protest. I just looked at him whimpering and crying. I was rooted to that spot. Suddenly I was feeling so dirty. I was feeling so impure. I felt so hated. I felt so disgusted. I almost felt like putting an end to my meaningless life. I didn't have anything left with me. Why should I live? .The person I loved , the person I had trusted the most did this to me. He killed me. He broke my trust. I knew I would never trust on trust ever again in my life .My steps were faltering. I felt myself sinking to the ground. I was sitting on the floor now weeping like I never had. I heard footsteps and I looked up. It was Neil.

Neil: Awwwwe what is wrong with you now?. Tell me how was your night with your number 99th boyfriend . I am not really confident of the number but I am sure if its wrong then it would be just more. So how was your love making session. Very interesting right. Filled with a lot of spice .I sorry all of us want a detailed analysis of that night. Must be very hot.

I could not say anything. I repent because I could not say anything .I was not to blame .I had got my life's biggest shock which would always remind me of Neil, my life's biggest blunder. I could not get up .I suddenly felt Neil's hands pulling me up. He was holding me so tightly that it was hurting a lot. I realised that my palm was bleeding because I had broken my glass when I slumped down but in reality I was broken into infinite more pieces than the glass lying there .A glass piece had protruded in my palm but I did not care. Neil turned to see my hand because my blood oozed on to his hand. I could not feel anything.Neil took my palm in his and tried to take out that glass piece. He took it out but I did not flinch.This pain can never match the level of the treacherous explosion taking place in my heart. He was about to ask some attendant to bring a first aid box but I murmured: That is not me. Believe me.

Neil: Everyone she wants us to believe her. Are you kidding me. Why are you doing so much of drama. We all don't want to watch scenes you create .You can make this party a little interesting by sharing the memories of your special night with all of us. Your very own boyfriend has send me the pictures.

I hate myself to ever fall for the man in front of me. He does not deserve me. He never did.He doesn't know how to protect his wife's respect. He treats women like they are tissue papers. Just throw them away at your will. I wanted to rub off the vermilion I had on my forehead .THAT TOO I WAS WEARING IT FOR HIS LONG LIFE. Someone crack a better joke. I just wanted to break the nuptial necklace I had wound round my neck. I did not want to have anything that marks me as his own. I wanted to break all our ties. The whispers were chasing me everywhere. The inconsiderate glances all of it was piercing. My tears were blinding me. I am happy it did. I never wanted to see his face again. I ran from there. Yes ,I just ran. Ran far away from those whispers, far away from those accusing glances and most importantly far away from him.

I was on the streets. I did not know where I was going. I was just walking aimlessly. I was in a trauma. I was unaware of anything. The passing cars almost knocking me. I did not care .Infact I would be happy if they knock me off .I was feeling so unwanted so dirty. Yes dirty. Those pictures were making me question my existence. I rubbed my hands and legs to drive off those imaginary stains on me .I felt tainted. I felt so nasty .Someone played with my body even if it was virtual.

Suddenly I saw a man coming towards me. I had seen him in the party. He came to me and said: So you fulfill the manly needs for a night. I want you for one night. Lets go to my hotel room. There we can have a very hot and sensuous night. Infact I love your body. Its just got the perfect curves to make anyone go crazy for you.

I slapped him right across his face .It was after a long time that I spoke :Mr Neil is a fu*king bastard. That was not me in that picture. You get me. If you have not got me yet then lets go to the police station where instead of your hotel room you can get the luxurious lock up as your residence. What say.

The man just ran away. I fell on the street crying.

I just had one question in my mind: WHY DID HE DO THIS TO ME,WHY DID HE NOT TRUST ME?

I cried my heart out. I felt the intense pain of loving someone. I HATE LOVE was all I could say.

Neil' POV

I ruined Avni. I murdered her .I was supposed to feel happy and contented but I felt just the opposite .Her painful eyes, that blank look. They were all haunting me. I could not even bandage her hand .It must be hurting her so terribly. I felt as if all her pain was being transmitted in my heart but she deserved that right. My conclusion sounded almost like a question .Iwanted to know whether she was safe or not. She just ran away from the party. Where would she go? Of course to her parents home but I was still scared. What if something happens to her. Accident.

I shuddered at that thought.

I suddenly had a thought invading my mind.A dead body in front of me with a white shroud over it. I remove the cloth and its Avni.

I got up from the chair with a fit.

I went to the bar to drink but again could not get myself to order. As if something inside me was telling me that I had lost senses without even taking the help of alcohol.

I don't know but right now I just wanted a single thing-AVNI,the girl I just lost.

Hello everyone so did I pass in expressing Avni's emotions?.So how many of you want to throw anything you have in front of you right now and right at me.So the next few updates are going to be a little emotionally draining.So bear with me and yeah plz ignore any grammatical error.

Lastly I was so upset to see the response in the last update.Silent readers plzzz vote or if u don't like then comment or private message me and tell me about what you feel is going wrong.I sort of lose confidence in my writing after seeing such a low response.

So whatever I will try to update very soon.
