FATE : will find a way.

chapter 22

Next morning

The sun throws its bright rays on Avneil's window, which fall directly on Avni's face, breaking her sleep.

She opens her eyes slowly, wincing, and as soon as she wakes up, she finds herself in a grip, She smiles thinking that even in his sleep his hold on her has not loosened, he is holding her as if she is a thief and if ACP Saheb releases her, she will run away.

Yes, she is a thief, she stole his heart : and the punishment he gave her : that now she will have to stay in his heart forever and she is ready to bear this punishment for the rest of her life.

She untangles her finger with his, which is barely possible, and then tries to gently move his hand away from hers because she doesn't want to disturb his sleep but suddenly she feels that he grabs her by stomach and pulls her more into him.

Seeing this act of his, she comes to know that maybe he has woken up... It is obvious that he must have woken up...Even though he is not able to go for his workout due to injury, but his time to wake up is earlier, and it is 7 o'clock now, so obviously he must be awake.

Avni - aap jage ho ?

Neil - hmmm....( He replies hiding his face in her hair)

Avni smiles, but she thinks that if he is awake then why is he not leaving her ?

But instead of asking him this question, she herself starts moving his hand away from her, thinking that after seeing this thing of her, he will understand that she wants to tell him to leave her

But there Neil speaks

Neil - kyon koshish kar rahi ho, main nahi chhodunga

Hearing this, Avni closes her eyes but then composes herself and opens her eyes and speaks

Avni - chhodiye mujhe

Neil - nahi

Hearing his answer, she doesn't say anything further but again starts trying to remove his hand with a shy smile....she doesn't know why but it's making her feel even more intimate to be with him in the light of day

And there Neil speaks seeing her effort

Neil - maine kaha, nahi...

Avni - please

Neil - please what

Avni - chhodiye mujhe

Neil - par mera man nahi hai

And before Avni can say anything, Neil leaves her and separates from her little, and turning her on his side he makes sleep on the bed on her back and keeping his hands on either side of her, imprisoning her, he comes on top of her without putting his weight on her.

He sees how her face has turned completely red due to shyness. he smiles and speaks

Neil - I will not lie Avni, but you do not know how much I yearn for you.

Avni looks into his eyes when he says this

Neil - You don't know how much I yearn for this beautiful morning...how much I yearn to hold you in my arms and now that you're so close in my arms, I don't feel like leaving you

Avni does not say anything on his honesty but smiles.

Somewhere she still doesn't believe that someone, means Neil can love her so much.... she never expected this love from anyone because she feels that she does not deserve love in her life, because everyone who was close to her left her and her grandmother never makes her feel that love

But here Neil, he has really waited a long time for her...she cannot believe that someone can love her so much, she felt all these feelings a few months back, and it was during that time that she began to realize how painful it is to be away from the person you love,
