Im sorry for the delayed update but i have a hectic schedule so didnt get the time to draft updates
Hope you guys understand🙏🙏🙏

#####

J-the court declares the sentence of life imprisonment to Mr& Mrs Ketan Khanna for being guilty in the murders of Mr& Mrs Prakash Khanna
The case is closed

Bang!

The sound of gavel hitting the round sound block hit differently for different people-

While AvNeil were happy that neil& his parents got justice, ketan was disheartened but he had prepared himself mentally for how his life was going to be from now onwards

But hetal's case wasnt the same
She started to think that her son couldnt get his own parents justice &framed them for a crime they didnt commit
She was probably on the way to lose her mind because she was still not ready to accept the reality

Soon, they were taken to the jail in police van

*****

Khanna house-

AvNeil returned home when avni received neela maa's message that she wont be coming home for 2/3 days bcz her work has got extended so avni just told neela maa to have her meals on time& take care of herself

AvNeil were laying in bed& neil was staring at the ceiling silently
Suddenly he asked avni

N-avu

A-haa neil

N-tum toh kabhi muje dhokha nahi dogi na?
I wont be able to bare it

Avni faced neil& then pulled him for a hug

A-not even in my dreams neil
I love you alot neil

N-i love you too avu

Avni shifted neil's head on her chest &caressed it gently
After getting such a deep wound in his heart, it would be very difficult for neil to trust anyone& avni was aware as well as mentally ready to deal with his insecurities about relationships

Although his uncle& aunt hated him, neil had never in his wildest dreams thought that they would stoop so low just for money

N-you know something avu?

A-what?

N-until the matter was limited to dad's will, i still had little bit of emotions regarding chacha chachi
But after knowing that thet are my parent's killers, i dont feel any sympathy for them

But you know whats strange?
That so much happened in past few yrs but not even once did amol contact me or at least his own parents from his end, until recently when he came back to India, to fight the case in support of chacha chachi

A-hmmm
Im happy that after his 1st hearing in support of his parents itself, amol understood that his side of the case doesnt make any sense& he backed off after the 1st hearing itself

Everything is clear in front of everyone& it looks that chacha has accepted it but chachi still has hopes of winning against the right& has again tried to contact amol from jail- thinking that he might pick up

You were the person whom they treated terribly& you knew about their condition but not their own son
Still they had planned to give all of dad's hard earned money to that thankless brat

N-hmmm
But now, i dont want to think or talk about those thankless people anymore

A-yes
We wont discuss about them
From now on, their chapter is closed from our life

Avni decided to divert neil's mind from the current situation

A-neilu

N-hmmm

A-tumhe yaad h jab lockdown hua tha& men tumhe ghar le aayi thi?

A smile instantly occurred on neil's face

N-haa
Uss time ko kese bhool sakta hu men
Itne saalon ke baad finally meri zindagi men khushiyaan aayi thi, thanks to you
Sab kuch ek khoobsurat sapne jesa lagta tha- esa sapna jo men chahta tha kabhi khatam na ho

Avni smiled& kissed neil's head

A-wo sapna nahi-haqeeqat h
Aur tumhe yaad h ek din muje flour ka cylinder refill karna tha par mera haath nahi pahucha packet tak toh mene tumhe bulaya

N-haa
Aur tumhare upar aata gir gaya tha
Bilkul bhoot lagri thi tum
Aaj bhi yaad h muje tumhara wo look

Neil started to laugh on remembering that moment

A-phir tumne muje uske liye tease kia toh muje gussa aaya& mene tumhe chase karna start kardia

N-haa
Aur bhaagte bhaagte hum dono couch pe gir gaye aur phir...

Neil lifted his gaze towards avni

N-and we had a deep, long kiss

A-yes
Back then, we knew it was wrong but it was irresistible

N-yes

A-aur jab ek din humare internal exams ka result aaya, mere marks bohot ache aaye they bcz tumne padhaya tha& i hugged you really tight

N-haa
Uss din bhi...wohi hua jo galat tha par sahi lagta tha

A-aur uske baad bhi ek baar jab hum dono mere room men padh rahe they
I moved a bit too close to you& we again...

N-haa
Yaad h muje
Most precious moments of my life

A smile automatically appeared on neil's face on recollecting those moments

A-aur tumhe humara first intimate time yaad h jab mujse zyada tum dare hue they?

N-haa
Yaad h
Par wo isliye bcz i couldnt see you in pain, even if we were going to feel pleasured after it

Both smiled& avni yawned slightly

N-lets take a power nap

Avni nodded
After some time, neil started to murmur in sleep bcz he was again getting flashes of the torture he faced all these yrs
His murmuring broke avni's sleep

N-no...no...no...

A-oh no
Neil is again having nightmares

She started to pat his head gently

A-sshhh
Relax neil
Im here with you
Amol couldnt save those criminals from getting sentenced
And now, nobody is going to harm you

As avni patted his head, neil finally calmed down in her embrace &stopped murmuring too
He snuggled into avni's chest& slept off

*****

Night-

After having dinner, AvNeil were sitting on the swing in the balcony- looking at the stars

Neil was laying in avni's lap& she was caressing his hair

N-tumhe pata h avu

A-kya?

N-i always feel that the spirit of mom& dad are blessing us to always be together

A-yes
Even i feel so
I love you

N-i love you too

AvNeil were still lost in their thoughts when suddenly it started to drizzle
And in few mins, the minor drizzling was turned into heavy rain

A-lets go inside neilu
Baarish bohot tez h
Thand lag jayegi

Neil nodded& got up from her lap
They came inside& closed the balcony
They had just sat on the bed when the light went off& avni instantly frowned

A-oho
Itni tezz baarish kam thi jo ab light bhi chali gayi?

Avni was upset but she immediately came out of her thoughts when she felt some vibration
She felt strange so she moved her gaze& saw neil shivering
She instantly freaked out& went close to him

A-neil kya hua?

Neil didnt say anything
He was still not over the news of his parent's murder- he was again getting flashes of the same& recollecting his painful childhood so he again felt that avni will also make fun of him& eventually leave him

His eyes teared up by now, making avni more tensed& she didnt know how to handle him
She took a breath& at once scooped neil's scared& shivering body in her arms

N-i love you avu
plz...do...dont...le...leave me
Plz...

A-sshhh
Neil shaant hojao
Men kahi nahi jaungi

Neil clung to avni at once& avni started rubbing his back to calm him

A(to herself)-neil's past is again haunting him so hes again feeling insecure
I need to remove this fear at all costs

Neil's voice broke her chain of thoughts

N-avu

A-haa neil

N-can you plz remove your night gown?

Avni was surprised but then she thought that spending some personal time might divert his mind

A-do you want to feel me neilu?

N-no
I just want to hug you with no barriers between us

Avni nodded& neil undressed avni, followed by himself& then covered themselves with the duvet
Neil wrapped her in his arms, in the attempt to never let her go
Avni understood his condition so she didnt stop him& cuddled more into him

A-time ke saath sab sambhal jayega neilu
We just need to be patient

Neil nodded in the hug
After a while, he detached himself from her& sat up in bed

N-avu can i ask you for something more?

A-of course

Neil looked up directly in her eyes

N-plz dont get me wrong but i want you avu
Bcz of all the court drama, we couldnt spend our personal time together& i just thought about my troubles

A-its ok neil
I can completely understand
Aur ye sab problems sirf tum akele face nahi karoge- im always with you

Aur ye sab intimacy mandatory thodi h
Sirf saath time spend karna, casual conversations, normal hugs bhi kafi h apne pyaar dikhaane ke liye
And if you want, then love me- im all yours

Their eyes got locked& avni's hands moved towards neil's face
They got lost in eachother's eyes& soon, neil caressed avni's cheek
He rubbed her lips with his thumb& avni parted them a bit, signaling him to continue

Neil bent lower& soon, he sealed their lips together
Avni pulled him closer by wrapping her arms around his neck, while moaning in the kiss

N-shall i avu?

Avni nodded& neil covered their purest forms with the duvet, falling into their world of love

*****

After taking her for the 3rd time, neil was still active while avni was exhausted

N-was i rough avu?

A-no
Im just tired

N-lets freshen up& then sleep

Avni nodded& neil scooped her bare body in his arms& moved towards the washroom

After taking a relaxing bath& shower together, AvNeil changed the bedsheet& lay in bed
They chatted for some more time& eventually slept off

So thats all for now
Votes& comments awaited
