Avni's P.O.V

It's been a week since I returned to my house after spending 6 months in jail. The time I spent there is an experience for a lifetime, an experience that I would like to forget in order to move on with my life. I am happy that I am back in my house, my family members are pampering me and trying to compensate for the time we all lost with each other, my husband is trying everything to make me feel loved, and every day he is normalizing my life with sweet gestures. I know very well that he feels guilty for sending me into that hell hole but I make sure to erase all his insecurities every now and then so that we both can move on from that brutal phase. I don't blame Neil for anything, I know he would have saved me earlier if the situation was under his control but it was a cruel game of destiny, we both got separated, and I got trapped within four walls that were meant for criminals and started hating everyone around me. I was so traumatized that I refused to meet with my family members when I was in jail, I isolated myself from everyone to the extent that I never wrote a single letter to them before Neil came into the jail. Call me selfish or whatever but the fact is I wanted to disconnect myself from every relationship and person who was an essential part of my life.

Ali was the only one with whom I interacted during that phase but I confined my emotions deep within my heart. I only had one objective during that dark phase of my life, the only emotion that ran deep within my veins was hatred for Vidyut, and the urge to prove myself innocent by destroying Vidyut was very strong. Now, everything is normal I still feel that I am imprisoned within those ruthless walls. I am free now, I don't have to perform those regular duties, there is no need for me to wake up early, I can wear whatever I want, I can eat my favorite food anytime, I can ask for anything and I know that Neil would fulfill my every wish yet there are certain restraints that don't allow me to move forward. A part of me still resides within those four walls that witnessed my emotional detachment, helplessness, frustration, and anger. it's difficult to let go of every single thing that was involved in my life during that nasty period.

Jail might be a normal place for a criminal but it is a tormenting place for an innocent person. A person is capable to lose his or her genuine self while being trapped among the actual criminals. I am managing to keep everything normal in front of my family but I know very well that my mind is insecure and I don't want to become extremely happy for any reason as happiness is a painful topic for me, I might have gotten my freedom but my mind is still invaded by those past events. These thoughts are scary, to say the least, and I know that Neil would become even more concerned and sad if he got to know about my inner feelings. I don't want him to feel guilty at any cost so I am going to maintain a normal facade with a slim hope that my inner conflicts could be resolved soon.

Neil's  P.O.V 

Life is a weird phenomenon, isn't it? 

6 months back I took a decision that regulated the dynamics of my relationship with my wife, my Avni. 

I thought that after the thorn named Vidyut is removed from our life everything would become fine. I pushed Avni into that hell hole with the hope of protecting her from our enemy but I failed to think about how am I going to protect her against her own mind. Nothing can destroy iron but its own rust can, in the same manner, I protected Avni from Vidyut but her own mind became a villain for her. I know she is trying her best to act normal and indulge in her normal routine but I can clearly visualize her sufferings,  a broken girl resides behind her smiling face who is scared to be happy. 

I have observed her helplessness on multiple occasions. she gets up at 5 am daily and does her exercise and makes breakfast for everyone, but she always forgets that no one is awake at that time and when the realization strikes her she becomes sad. she sits silently and keep on thinking about something or the other. Even our family members are confused by her behavior. Ironic right, the girl who found cooking irritating is using it nowadays in order to escape her thoughts. I tried to make her understand but she explained that she is not able to sleep after 5 am so now I also wake up with her and we do exercise and meditation together, I don't want to leave her alone so I try to be with her most of the time. In order to keep her away from overthinking I spend those morning hours with her. We both cook together and I make sure to act stupidly around her so that I can see her smile. 

This is just one example, there are many situations like these where you could find her oscillating between the two personalities, one is a peaceful and calm personality while the other is the isolated and disciplined girl who came out of jail. The latter one is more dangerous than Ananya Verma as she has the capability to destroy her own happiness. 

Yesterday evening when I came back from the police station I found her standing in front of the mirror with a big frown lingering on her face. she was caressing her hair that have grown long, she took the scissors and was about to cut her hair but stopped making me sigh in relief. she shook her head negatively and put the scissors down. 

Avni - you need to move on Avni. (burying her face within her palms.)

She muttered to herself but I know moving on is not easy. The sudden transition in her life has taken a toll on her, she is trying to find her happiness with us but her inner self is corrupting her liveliness. I have to do something before it's too late. 

Today, I am determined enough to talk to her about everything, she is tormenting herself and the only person who is responsible for this entire mess is me. I reached home and made up my mind to help her out of this sticky situation. When I entered our room, I became shocked after seeing her short hair making reappearance in her life. 

She was reading a book, when she saw me she smiled and hugged me as always. This is one of my favorite moments of the day. I smiled sadly and engulfed her tightly within my arms assuring her silently that I would make her love herself again. I kissed her forehead as soon as we pulled away and cupped her beautiful face within my hands, she looked so innocent, her big doe eyes blinking in confusion while the love she has for me was reflected in her eyes. She doesn't deserve any sort of suffering yet life has given her a lot of pain and unfortunately, I also became one of the reasons for her sadness. she deserves a normal life where her existence is appreciated, and I know my love for her will bring my Avni back. I just need to reconnect our hearts and make her feel her worth in my life. 

Avni - What are you thinking Neil? is everything alright? (confusion)

Neil - why did you cut your hair? 

Avni looked nervous but she maintained a smiling face as always. 

Avni - actually I like these short hairs. don't you like them? 

Lie! 's a big lie as always, you are getting pro in lying Wifey. 

I hugged her again and tried to find solace within her feminine scent. 

Neil - you look very beautiful. 

That's true she looks beautiful in short hair but the negative vibes surrounding her action don't look appealing. This negative aura is a black hole that wants to consume Avni's peace and happiness but I won't let that happen, not anymore. 

It's a promise Avni.
