Aditya glared at Avni while she looked at the soft toy she carefully held it in her hands and then looked at him.

Aditya: What is this soft toy doing inside my fridge. Where are all my beer bottles

Avni just looked at him and now Aditya was sure Avni did something.

Aditya: Avni answer me. Where r all my bottles

Avni: Aaaaaaaa........... ditya ji

Aditya: Avni, this is the last time i am asking u, where r my bottles

Avni showed him the soft toy and Aditya looked confused.

Aditya: Why do u keep showing me this. What is so special about this

Avni: I am showing u this because............ because............. i bought.......... this........... in exhange of.......... your beer bottles

Aditya widened his eyes trying to understand what he heard just now. Then he shook his head in disbelief.

Avni looked at him holding the soft toy tighter.

Aditya: You........... you bought this.......... in exchange of my beer bottles

Avni gave him a smile, while he bit his teeth in order to cool himself down.

Aditya: Avni........... u entered my room.........

Avni: Yes........... n i took all the beer bottles and sold them to a scrap dealer and bought this soft toy (smiles).............. he was so nice he did not send me empty hand

Aditya shuts his eyes tightly squeezing them with his fingers.

While Avni's smile vanished and she gulped realising what she said just now.

Avni: Ooops.........

Aditya looked at her, who was looking at him as if she saw a ghost. 

Aditya: U sold my beer bottles to a scrap dealer (shocked)

Avni: Y...........e...........s

Aditya: Are u mad. Do u know how costly they were (shouts)

Avni: No. I don't........... know........... I don't drink

Aditya looked at her his face red with anger.

Aditya: I told u, stay away from me. What is your problem............. (shouts), you entered my room and without my knowledge sold all my bottles. What do u think of yourself (roars)............. what kind of act is this........... u r getting on my nerves (shouts)

Avni: Lis............ ten........... u cannot........... shout............ at me........... like this.......... i told u i am lady don............. people call me lady don............. everyone is............. scared........... of me............ u should........... also.............. be

Avni said with broken voice and she kept moving back taking baby steps while saying this.

Aditya crossed his arms and looked at her with a glare.

Avni: What......... do.......... u think........... that u will scare me........... no............. i am.......... not.......... scared......... of........... u......... i.......... am............. very............ strong

As Avni said this her foot hit a stone that was on the ground and she fell down.

Avni: Aaaaahhh

Avni looked near her foot and there was a stone, she got up quickly.
She looked at Aditya who was squeezing his forehead with his fingers with eyes shut.

Avni: See i am........... strong

Aditya: You.........are........... mad (shouts)

Avni: No.......... n......... look i sold ur beer bottles because u drink too much........... n u r not even taking your food

Aditya: I don't need u to tell me all this........... from next time if u

Before Aditya could complete Prakash came there.

Prakash: What is going on here. It is 11:00 pm

Aditya: I don't care

Aditya said looking the other way frustrated. While Prakash looked towards Avni.

Prakash: What happen avni

Avni: Papa.......... i was......... going.......... to sleep

Avni quickly picked her phone and ran away. Prakash looked at Aditya who was completely angry.

Prakash: What happen adi

Aditya looked at Prakash and was about to go when prakash stopped him.

Prakash: Adi, i was searching for u......... shall we grab a drink together

Aditya looked at prakash confused who stood there for his answer.
Aditya thought for sometime and then said ok.

Prakash poured champagne in two glasses and gave one to Aditya.

Prakash: It has been years since we two sat together like this (weak smile)

Aditya doesn't say anything and just took a sip.

Prakash: Adi i miss this moments..........

Aditya stopped and looked at Prakash but this time with a little soft face.

Next morning Aditya was sleeping peacefully on the bed but then sun rays fell on his face waking him up. He slowly opened his eyes and sat on his bed. He looked around but then his eyes fell on the soft toy which was kept on the side table but this time it had a chit stuck on it.

Aditya got confused and looked around he took the chit and it was written ' Smile Karke Dekho'.
Aditya just stared at it then threw it away.

While Aditya got ready and came out from his room. He saw shewta and prakash there. Aditya was about to go but stopped.

Aditya: Dad, come early today, we have to sign an important deal

Prakash looked at shewta then at Aditya and nodded ok with a smile. And aditya left.

Shewta: Prakash ji

Prakash: Shewta ji u know yesterday i and aditya grabbed a drink together. In these five years for the first time we both sat together

Shewta turned and saw Avni coming down and she smiled.

Avni sat on the table after greeting them.

Prakash: Avni puttar thank u.

Avni looked at Prakash confused. While he passed a smile.

Avni: Thank u...........

Prakash: Avni i don't know why u yesterday told me to ask aditya for a drink together at night but.......... but because of that in after so many years........... i sat with my son

Avni looked at prakash who got little emotional.

Avni: I just said it

Avni did not give any expression but she was happy from inside.

Avni roamed around in her room trying to call Neil. Just then Shewta came.

Shewta: Avni

Avni turned and saw shewta standing there.

Avni: Maa

Shewta: Avni.......... thank u for bringing a smile on prakash ji's face. He was so happy that he spend sometime with adi

Avni: Maa..........

Aditya was in his cabin sitting on his chair going through some files when the door opened and Avni entered. Aditya moved his head up to see who it is.

Aditya: U........... 

Aditya rolled his eyes while Avni smiled and sat on the chair infront of him. She had a small box in her hands.

Aditya: U r here again. I told u to

Avni: Stay away

Aditya rolled his eyes and looked at Avni while she was still smiling.

Aditya: Why do u always come in my office to test my patience

Avni: But today i bought something

Aditya looked at her disinterested while she placed the box on the table.

Aditya: What is this

Avni: Pastry (smiles)  

Aditya: Why did u bring it here

Aditya said going through the files while Avni smiled.

Avni: Because i wanted to say sorry

Aditya stopped and looked at her.

Avni: Yesterday whatever i did. For that........  i like pastry, so i bought it, i thought

Aditya: Good. Now from next time don't come near me to eat my head. Leave

Avni: What

Aditya: I said......... leave

Avni: But i bought pastry

Aditya rolled his eyes and looked at her. He then called dd through earpiece. Dd entered after sometime.

Dd: Yes sirji

Aditya: I have something for u. Take this

Aditya said pointing at the pastry box.

Dd: Sirji u bought for me (shocked)

Aditya looked at him and dd's smile vanished. Dd quickly and happily took it and left thanking aditya. While Avni gasped.

Avni: But i bought that for u

Aditya: I don't like sweets

Avni looked at him with her mouth wide open.

Aditya: U may leave

Avni got up from the chair with a thud sound. And left. Aditya looked at the direction she went.
