At hospital,

Neil was doing his job but somewhere restless on her being not around.

He thought to call her out. But then what would he say as to y he called?. Come on he has right to call as he's a frenemy of hers.

After alot of planning he finally called in her number.

Avni who just finished the game with Arjun , excused herself to attend the call.

She too was confused as to y he called but then thought of hospital work maybe.

Without delaying she started her express.

Avni- sir u called me? Is everything alright back there at hospital? How about Mowgli? Hope he is good and not troubling u..
....

She was stopped by the voice

Neil-shhhhh.....just breathe Avni! I just called to check upon u. I think I just scared u. actually u didn't came so I thought to call u up and ask u. But u are a rajhdhaani express.

Avni-(frown and pouted) how bad of u sir !! I thought that u would have called me because of work as u are very khadus and also I didn't came all of sudden na! How about Mowgli?

Neil- Mowgli...what??

Avni-he's good right? Not troubling na?

Neil- don't behave as her mother and yes he's good. By the way y didn't u came? U had a surgery to be done right?

Avni-ahhh! That....

Neil-yes!! Don't tell me u forgot! How can u forget?

Avni-relax I didn't forget that's y I asked sun to be sent on my behalf and about not coming...I was busy today, in some work!

Neil- u and busy? And y would u be busy?

Avni-(rolled her eyes)

Neil- stop rolling ur eyes and tell me!

Avni was shocked and she looked around to check whether he's around to know that.

Neil- I m not there so stop looking like a fool.

Avni-u can't call me a fool ok! N y won't I be busy. I too can be busy. Y u called me?

Neil- y can't I call u? I just called u ainvaye. Accha tell me y didn't u came today?

Avni- u n ainvaye? doesn't suit u sir!

Neil- stop selecting what suits me or not just tell me ok! U r ok na? I mean all ok! Bimaar to nhi na?

Avni- I m alright! Just wait for evening n u will get Ur answers!

Neil- Accha! Suspense

Avni-y don't u like them?

Neil-don't when it's me who is on the other side!

Avni- well then this would be fun! N I would love it!

Neil-(smirking) oh.......so like that....trust every dog has a day!

Avni-but for now the day is mine n see u soon.

Neil- I would love to see u!

They ended the call n Avni went back to arjun.

She was soon welcomed by the person who was standing or maybe struggling to stay strong.

Avni saw him and went towards the door n stood beside him.

Both looking at the scene in front of their eyes.

Person- Ty beta!

Avni- sir Ty nhi chahiye

Person- but phir bhi beta hum chahe Jo Kar le tumhara ehsaan chuka nhi paunga. Jaise hi tumne mujhe photo bheja mein khud ko rok nhi paaya. Tumhe pata nhi ki ye dekhne ke liye mein taras gya tha!

Avni- ek baat bolu sir?

Person- bolo beta!

Avni- ek baar ek ped tha , pakshiyoon ko sahara bohot acchese de rha tha. Sahara dete dete kafi saal beet gye. Par ye sab karte karte vo ye bhul gye ki vo bhi ek zinda cheez hai. Torture hote hote sabko ek pathar ki tarah pyaar se sambhal leta tha!. Par phir time ke pehle hi bejaan ho gya. Ab kya hona chahiye tha sir?

Person- vo jeena bhul gya tha ! Beta use khulke apni Zindagi jeeni chahiye thi!

Avni- exactly sir, aap bhi vohi ped hai! Sab ko sambhalte sambhalte aapne apne dard ko to Kahi zhooti hasi mein chupa hi li hai!
aap bhi ek insaan hai aur aap bhi ro sakte hai , Chilla sakte hai, sab kuch Kar sakte hai.
Apne feelings ko mat dabaiye , vo Jo samne hai vo aapka beta hai!

Jaiye sir gale miliye, baatein kijiye aur Apne aap ko halka kijiye sir.

Person-(swallowing the lump) nhi! Mein nhi! Please.

Avni- jab Shweta aunty Kar sakte hai to aap bhi sir. Please mat rokiye sir . Vo beta hai aapko!

He slowly went towards him and sat beside him. He was shivering but yet composed himself.

Person- beta gappu.....!

Arjun who was happily talking with shweta again inhaled unevenly as if something new rushed in his adrenaline. He lifted his teary eyes and just threw himself on him.

Shweta- Prakash ji aap!?

Ali just nodded and squeezed her hand.

Arjun- d....da...dad.....dada! Aap.......aa........(just hugged him tightly and kept mumbling things)

Prakash- arein tu to mera brave baccha haina ! Aise rote nhi! Mat ro beta.

Arjun-i .....missed ...u ! Kaha the aap?.......mujhe....Accha nhi..lagta .....Kahan...they aap?

Prakash-kuch kaam tha isiliye m sorry dada bohot bure haina?I am sorry baccha!(tears in eyes)

Arjun-its ok .... please...stay near me...I get bored alone.

Avni entered and sat beside them.

Avni- now no one will go away from u Arjun.

Arjun- (looked past Prakash) u too.

Avni was now unanswerable as she knew that she has no one near her and his this question made her think about it. She for sure knew that she can't get closer to anyone as she is just a destructive. At least for her she is. Who knows what was written in her fate.

Shweta- she too.

This broke her trance and she smiled slightly.

Arjun- promise (with a hope he forwarded his hand)

Avni too was taken aback at this but she crossed her finger at the back and handed her other hand.

Avni- promise!

Ali saw this and he smiled bitterly although sad .
Soon it was time to say goodbye and as they were moving their hearts again went heavy.

Arjun- u going all?(cranky voice)

Shweta- gappu beta we will come again tomorrow.
They won't allow us here so please.

Prakash- dada promise baccha.

Avni-see they will come tomorrow n tomorrow u will get more surprises now u sleep ok.

Arjun-sacchi

Avni-muchi

Arjun-thank u.

Arjun- I know...u brought them. U will get Neil na?

Avni- yes I will.

Arjun- u r my angel. Now Ur name is angel.

Arjun- my angel.

Avni-ok. Now we will say u goodbye and see u soon.

Arjun- wow..... he's so handsome.just like my chili mili(Neil) stops for a while....

Avni-I will try. Bye.

All left while walking Shweta and Ali were walking forward while Avni and Prakash were at the back

Prakash- Sahi Kaha tha tumne ki agar ped khud hi khulke nhi zeaga. Ty beta. Aaj tumne mujhe apno se milakar jo khushi di hai, pata nhi kaise thank u bolu!?

Avni-sir please!

Prakash- ek baat manogi?

Avni- boliye na sir.

Prakash- please mujhe sir mat bolo, uncle chalega lekin sir se parayon ki feeling aati hai.

Avni- ok....sir.....Mera matlab hai uncle.

Shweta and Ali looked back only to see both of them talking something.

Shweta went towards Avni and hugged her tightly.

Shweta- Ty beta, mujhe pura bharosa hai ki tum use theek Kar dogi. Mujhe to pata hi nhi ki tumhara ehsaan kaise chukau?

Avni-are nhi aunty...please mein sirf vo kar rhi hu jo mujhe sahi lag rha hai.
