Enough for each other. (series ).✔

Chapter 11

Riya - Neil please come home soon, Mehta family is here and they are irritating Avni. I can't handle her alone and they are refusing to leave.

Neil - Damm! ( frustrated )Why these both families aren't letting her stay in peace? I'm on the way Riya, please control the situation.

Call ends.

Neil immediately sat in his car and started driving towards his flat.

After sometime, he reached his flat and immediately went inside. As soon as he saw the scene playing in front of him, his jaw clenched in anger while he balled his fists. His heart painted when he saw Avni sitting in a corner, her knees pressed against her chest while her arms wrapped around her knees, her eyes were filled with endless tears while her innocent face was masked with fear. She was shivering terribly still Mehta family was refusing to leave her alone. He stood there silently as he wanted to see what they want from her but his heart is filled with pain when he saw her crying helplessly.

Aman - Avni we will give you all the love. Come to me. ( softly )

Avni - No no no. ( crying )

She picked up a vase from the table and threw it on him for defending herself, Aman though dodged it but was shocked after he witnessed her violent behaviour. No one knew what she was going through at this moment, her entire past was repeating in front of her eyes when she saw their faces. They thought that they will win her back by speaking some sweet words, little did they know how their refusal of help when she was begging for their support has affected her brain. Since, childhood she thought that her family would stand beside her when everyone else will leave her alone but her family members never gave her the comfort, love, care she deserved. They treated her like some collateral paper and when she became invalid for them, they ripped her apart and let her burn within the hell of helplessness. They all thought that Neil has brainwashed her about them but they will never realise that Neil was the only person who embraced her when she was thrown into the dark streets filled with her inner demons. She finds her home when his presence surrounds her but how can people cursed with a stone heart understand her pain? She again threw a decorative piece in Aman's direction but this time as well he dodged it.

Ashish - Avniiiii ! ( screams )

He came forward and was about to slap her but Neil held his hand tightly and was glaring Mehta family with bloodshot eyes.
Avni was whimpering silently as she was scared of Ashish. She thought that he will beat her like Arjun and won't show mercy on her but as soon as her eyes landed on Neil she smiles slightly and immediately got up from her position and wrapped her arms around his torso, seeking his comfort and crying silently in order to convey him that she was very scared. Neil yanked Ashish's hand away and wrapped his arms around Avni, caressing her hairs tenderly.

Neil - Baby girl stop crying, you know very well that I can't see you cry. ( caressing her back )

She snuggles into him and he tightened his hold on her.

Avni - Send them away Neilu. ( chocked voice) They will hurt me like him.

Neil - No one will hurt my baby. See, your Neilu is here na so no one would be able to harm my Avu.

He coos her lovingly and wrapped her legs around his waist, her hands were wrapped against his neck, he pulls her closer to him and took her in their bed room while whispering sweet nothings in her ears. He closed the bedroom door and positioned her on the bed while sitting beside her. She looked at him with her big doe shaped eyes filled with tears while her face was red. He kissed her forehead and again pulls her into his warm hug.

Avni - Please send them away. ( weakly )

Neil - I will baby but right now you need bath and good amount of food. My Avu is looking so weak and I know very well that rats are dancing in your tummy. ( while tickling her belly )
