Avni and Akshit sat outside on a bench. Akshit brought two cups of coffee for them.

Avni: I am sorry

Akshit: Huh?

Avni: Mujhe uss din aese uth kar nhi aana chahie tha. But you know tumne achanak se aese bola about break up. To mujhe kuch samaj hi nhi aaya

Akshit: I understand. You don't have to apologize. In fact, I am sorry but mein kya karoo. Mein tumhe dokha nhi dena chahta tha. Maine iss baare mein bohot socha but I couldn't think of any solution except for breaking up

Avni: Hmm. To kabse chal raha tha ye sab tumhare dimaag mein?

Akshit: Honestly speaking Avni jiss din tumhare bhayia bhabhi ki death hui, I understood ki Hazel is your responsibility and she definitely should be. And within few days somewhere I understood that we won't end up together

Avni: To itna time kyu le lia? Jab pata chal hi gya tha you could have just told me. Right?

Akshit took her hand in his.

Akshit: Avni mein tumhare saath iss relationship mein time pass ke lie nhi hu. I genuinely love you and maybe I even wanted a life with you. In fact ab bhi chahta hu but I know it is not possible and I am sure tumhari bhi feelings are genuine. You also love me. Aur tumhari life mein itni badi tragedy hui thi. Tumhe usse bahar nikalna tha apne pairo par stand hona tha. In fact, meri feelings aesi nhi hai ki achhe time mein tumhare saath hu but jaise hi tumhari life mein koi problem aayi I left you alone to deal with it. Itne bade sadme ke just baad I couldn't break your heart

He said looking into her eyes and continuing.

Akshit: I thought to wait for the right time fir baat karoonga. But honestly itne dino se I was just denying only. Mein kind of taal raha tha iss baat ko kyuki mere lie bhi tumhare bina rehna bohot mushkil hai Avni aur mein tumhara dil bhi nhi todna chahta tha. But finally, I made up my mind because you deserve to know the truth. Mein jitna delay karoonga utna hi tumhe hurt hoga. Aur jab I don't have an intention to spend a life with you, jab hamare paths alag hai and I have realized it already. It's my responsibility ki mein tumhe sab kuch sach sach bata doo. Aese tumhe andhere mein rakhna. It's like mein dokha de raha hu jo mein kbhi nhi karna chahoonga

Avni was still quiet looking down.

Akshit: I am extremely sorry Avni. Mujhe pata hai ki mein bohot bura hu and I hurt you a lot. But please ho sake to mujhe maaf kardo. I really love you, Avni

Avni looked at him.

Avni: Honesty Akshit I won't deny ki hurt to mujhe hua. Jab tumne bola you want to break up with me, ek baar to vishwaas hi nhi hua. But fir I felt someone literally stabbed me. You know what I have lost so many people in life ki ab gine chune reh gaye hai aur unko khone ke baare mein soch kar bhi dar lagta hai par mein tumhe blame nhi kar sakti. Honestly ye kisi bhi galati nhi hai. Situation hi kuch aesi hai. Hazel meri beti hai aur it's not really easy to find a partner when you already have a child. Tumhari fault nhi hai. So please don't blame yourself

Akshit: I don't know matlab I should have been your support system and here I

Avni: Akshit you know what jo tumne aur Siddharth ne mere lie kia I can never return you guys that favor. Tum log mere support system the uss time par. Jab mere bhayia bhabhi nhi rahe tum dono din raat mere paas the. Meri har kahi ankahi baat tum dono samaj jaate ho. The way you have taken care of me and Hazel shayad koi nhi karta. Before my boyfriend, you are my best friend aur tum hamesha the mere saath. To mujhe aur kya chahie?

Akshit hugged her.

Akshit: Thanks Avni. I really didn't know ki mein tumhe kaise samjhaoonga apni baat jab mein khud ko hi maaf nhi kar raha tha especially jab tum aese uth kar chali gayi aur mujhse baat bhi nhi kar rhi thi to I was so worried

Avni: It's okk. You don't have to be guilty. Hnn uss time mujhe khud time chahie tha to accept the fact but then I thought about it calmly to I understood your situation. And I know you really love me and won't do anything to hurt me intentionally

Akshit nodded with a little smile.

Avni: Achha I want to say something

Akshit: Hnn bolo

Avni: I need time to move on. And I am sure you also need to. Aur you know hum jitna saath rahenge utna hi hamare lie tough hoga. So I think we should try to avoid talking and spending time with each other for sometime

Akshit was hurt by the thought of being away from her but he knew she was right so he nodded.
