Answer is: because pH value of solution is changing.
Balanced chemical reaction: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l).
pH of sodium hydroxide solution is above seven (basic), when solution of hydrochloric acid is added, pH slowly dropping until it became neutral solution (pH is equal seven) and that is endpoint of titration.
