Mowgli - What is the meaning of love mumma ? ( innocently ).

Avni and Mowgli were spending their last evening with each other as Neil have won the custody battle and tomorrow he will take Mowgli away from Avni.

They were having heart to heart conversation and Mowgli came up with this innocent question.

Avni - ( smiles ) Love can't be explained.

Mowgli - Why ?

Avni - Because everyone have different opinion regarding love.

She caress his face lovingly.

Mowgli - What's your opinion ?

Avni - ( smiles ) Love is an immortal feeling which will keep you connected with your loved one even if you are away from them. ( she remembers Neil.)

Mowgli - That means you and papa are also connected. ( joyful look ).

Avni was shocked with his words and wasn't able to say anything.

Mowgli - Tell me mumma. You both are connected. Right ? If your love connects you with him then why is he marrying Mithali aunty ?

Avni - Mowgli you sit  here, I will bring your favourite milkshake for you.

She tries to divert the topic.

Mowgli - No mumma. Please tell me, why papa is marrying Mithali aunty ?

Avni - Sometimes problems dominate everything and the love is suppressed due to these dominant traits.

Mowgli - Love is suppressed but it's not over. Right ?

Avni was speechless as she never expected such mature questions from her son. Though he is not way much mature but he is quite sensible reason being Avni's upbringing and preachings. Avni's eyes turned glassy but she hid her tears from her son.

Mowgli - Tell me mumma. ( innocently ).

Avni - Love is endless so it can never attain its end.

Mowgli - That means love is immortal ?

Avni - Yes, it's very pure feeling. The way you pray God in the same way you have to pray this beautiful feeling that binds you in every relation.

Mowgli - If love is strong then problems can be solved. Right ?

Avni was having tears in her eyes. Mowgli wipes her tears.

Mowgli - Why are you crying mumma ?

Avni - Nothing, I was thinking of the day you were born and blessed  my life.

Mowgli - You felt good when I was born. ( smiles ).

Avni makes him sit on her lap and kisses his cheek affectionately.

Avni - The day you were born I felt divine. You know that was for the first time I loved the pain as well. The sweetest pain which brought you into this world. ( smiles ). Into my life.

Mowgli - That means you are connected to me since the day I was born.

Avni - Yes. ( smiles ).

Mowgli - Then, how will you live without me ? And how will I live without you mumma ? ( tears formed in his eyes ).

Even Avni was having tears in her eyes as Mowgli was the only reason she survived after leaving Neil and her perfect family.

Avni - Our love will connect us. You know that mother and child are inseparable from each other.

Mowgli - Then why papa is separating both of us ? ( teary eyes ).

Avni - Because I did the same. ( burst into tears ). I also separated you from your family. I did a very big mistake Mowgli.

Mowgli wipes her tears and kisses her cheek.

Mowgli - You remember once you told me that we should learn from our mistakes as well as from other's mistakes. If you did a mistake then why papa is repeating the same thing ? He should learn from your mistakes. ( teary eyes )

Avni was crying bitterly now as she is feeling guilty for snatching Mowgli's family. On the other side she was feeling sad as she lost her son due to a custody battle.

Mowgli - You know what mom, I want a perfect family. A perfect happy family. ( teary eyes ).

Avni buries her face in her palms as she remembers how she craved for a perfect family since childhood and today her son is also craving for the same.

Avni - I snatched your perfect family from you bacha. Please forgive me. ( crying ).

Mowgli - Mumma why you separated from papa ?

Avni - Always remember one thing Mowgli, love comes with sacrifice. If you love someone whole heartedly then you have to prioritize their happiness.

Mowgli - You love dad so much that you are ready to separate your son from yourself.

Avni - I love both of you alot bacha. ( she cups his cheeks lovingly ) Your papa also deserves to live with his son as he wasn't there with you in these 10 years.

Mowgli - But I want a family which consists of my mumma, papa, dadu, dadi and badi dadi. This will be my happy family. Mowgli's perfect family.

Avni hugs him tightly and cries her heart out as her son was facing the same situation that she faced during her childhood but she was helpless. Helpless in front of circumstances.

Mowgli - You will give me my perfect family. Right mumma ?

Avni - Mowgli...

Mowgli - You and papa love me so we all should live together lovingly as love binds each and every relation. We all love each other then why are we separated ?

Avni wasn't able to answer his questions. Mowgli ran away.

Avni - Mowgli... ( she tries to stop him but in vain )

Mowgli collides with Neil who was standing at the doorstep of the room listening their conversation. Neil was having teary eyes just like Mowgli and Avni.

Mowgli - You tell me papa. You will give me my perfect family. Right ? A perfect family who  loves each other, that's what mumma said about love and relations.

Like Avni, Neil wasn't able to answer his questions. Mowgli ran away from there leaving a shattered avneil behind.

Neil moves forward and holds Avni's hands.

Neil - Can we solve our problems and bring happiness in our son's life ? No problem can dominate our love, like Mowgli said. ( teary eyes ).

Avni was crying while Neil joined her and tried to have a heart to heart conversation that was much needed for filling the void of these painful 10 years.

Their love is not that weak, they both weren't able to understand this but their son who is the symbol of their love made them realise this through his innocence.
