Neil went to garden and stood in a corner watching his wife drenched in rain may be after such long years. He rang up neela ma...

Neil: " i have to share something wd u.. just one sentence"

Neela ma: kya hua?

Neil: the old wali avni is bak...
Jise barish se pyar tha.. gaane ka shauk tha.. masti karne ka rog tha.. wahi meri samne khadi hai.. nd i promise I wont evr let this Avni vanish...

Neela ma: thaankyou Neil. I knew ..only u can do it.. aur tumne kar dikhaya... I wil come in the mrng to visit yu two..

Neil: okay maa..

Neela ma: haan? Kya kahaa..?

Neil(smiled): okay maaa....kyn main aapka beta nahi hun??

Neela ma had tears of happiness..
Neela ma: hai na.. bilkul hai.. see u tmrw..gudnight

Neil: gudnight..

Avni enjoying rain was a sight to entire family. There was an unusual happiness and cheerfulness on her face that no one has seen before.. bebe, prakash, kareena and maddy bua watched her from the balcony with a tint of smile. They were joined by Swetha to see what were they watching so intently...

They also saw their own Neil who stood in the garden's corner drooling over his wife.. his Avni.. For once Swetha smiled seeing his son in his happiest form. She was somewhere convinced that Avni is the perfect one for her Tillu. May be like evry mother she was feeling insecure about losing her son to his wife. But instead this girl was the root cause of evry small hapiness that mattered to her son. How could she try to harm a girl who was this important to her Tillu..? She herself has seen the pain he went through when he lost Juhi. She can't hurt him more... And yes Neil was in love..

Swetha smiled at this thought and watched the scene down in garden with evrybody.

Down in the garden Neil intently gazed upon his wife with a smile on his face. Avni started moving in rain, slowly circling herself.

Her saree stuck on to her body drenched in rain.  Her smiling lips was studded with droplets waiting to fall down.. water drops slided through evry curve of her body. Neil couldn't help but notice how alarmingly irresistable at the same time innocent was his wife looking at tht time...

Suddenly Avni slipped on the slippery grass. Before she could fall down, a pair of strong hands grabbed her waist and held onto her tightly. She raised her head to see Neil.. visibly happy... No the happiest!!

Seeing the proximity they shared, prakash spoke up faintly...

Prakash: I think we should go in..

Bebe(smiled): haan..  chalo.. swetha chalo..

Swetha: han? Ji bebe.. chaliye..

And they moved to their respective rooms..
In the garden...

Neil: what is my wife doing here? Wo bhi barish mein..??

Avni silently looked up to his face..

Neil: iam asking u something..

Avni: mere liye kuch karoge..?

She was interrupted by Neil's voice..

Neil: " Ye saazish hai boondon ki.. koi khwaaish hai chup chup si.. "

yehi chahthe the na tum?
Avni was surprised at the extent to which he could read her mind..

They slowly danced on the song...

Neil's hands coiled around her bare wet waist. He circled to turn her back towards him. He removed her hair from her back. She felt his hot breath over her bare back. She tightly held onto her saree. Neil brought one of  hands downwards to slide onto her wet waist through her saree. Avni moved back to him yet closer.

Neil leaned forward to blow slightly in the nape of her neck. Avni closed her eyes tightly feeling cold shivers running all over her. Neil sensed her state and planted a soft kiss on her earlobes. Avni spun around to hug him tightly resting her head over his chest which was the safest place on earth she could evr find..

Neil realised..
" I dont want hr to go away. I accept her as my wife. I am in love with her...nd I cant lose my love yet again.. aur main ye sab tumse kahoonga Avni.. jald hi..."
F
Neil lifted her chin to face him her eyes still down..
Neil: khush ho na tum?

Avni: haan..Yehi chahthe the na tum?

Neil smiled and touched their foreheads together. He held her by her waist. He pulled her dangerously closer and locked into her eyes once again..

Avni: Neil...

Neil (went closer again..): hmm?

Avni: bola tha na.. tumhari aankhen ek din mujhe maar dalenge.. I am dead..

Neil shot open his eyes and lookd at her. There stood a girl whom we got back to the soul. The girl who was so mch affected by his presence, absence, closenss, distance...and wht not..

Neil whispered against her ears: phir se bolo...

Avni closed her eyes in contentment..

Avni: kya boloon?

Neil: what you just said..

Avni: your eyes are killing me Neil. Aur mujhe aise marna manzoor hai foever...

Neil smiled through his tears and hugged her. He spoke still hugging her..

Neil: waise maine suna tha ye jab tum ne aaj subah ..

Avni: jaanti hoon.. munh se nikal gayi aaj...

Neil laughed at what she said..
Neil: mathlab its not the first time you have had this thought..

Avni broke the hug and fumbled for words..

Avni: nahi.. woh..haan.. matlab nai nai...

Neil had a naughty smile..
Neil: nahi...haan..ye..woh... Bas bas..relax! And come inside .. beemar padogi tum ab tho..

Avni smiled...
Avni: ab to mujhe sab kuch manzoor hai.. sirf tumse door jana nahi..

Neil was pleasantly surprised..
Neil: ye bhi munh se nikal gaya...Yaa..?

Avni: Neil...chalo andhar..

And Avni dragged this crazy Neil to room..
