2 months later

A hotel room is shown. A man is seen arranging all his luggage and important papers. His eyes have a spark that was missing in these 2 months. A small smile was playing on his lips.

Another man enters the room and says,
Man: Neil sir, I've never seen you this happy in these 2 months.

Yes it was Neil.

Neil: How can I not be happy? Finally I'm going home. I've missed everyone so much.
By the way, what brought you here early in the morning?

Man: Sir, I came to give you your tickets. I'll take your leave.

The man exits the room. Neil returns to his present task of packing.
Just then his phone beeped. It was a message from none other than Avni.

Message: Have a safe flight. Can't wait to meet you. I've a surprise for you. I'm sure you'll like it.

The message brought a smile on his face. He remembered his last meeting with her. When she said goodbye, hugging him tight whispering an I'll miss you to him.
He was really missing her. He was missing his family as well. But Avni is special. From childhood he spent most of his time with her ,more than he would do with his family. Reasons being simple that they did not have any friends except each other.

At airport

Neil had boarded his flight. He was totally restless. So restless that before take off, he asked the air hostess that how much more time was left for the flight to reach Mumbai.
The air hostess just smiled at his question and answered,
Sir, the flight has not taken off yet.
She said and went away leaving an embarrassed Neil behind.

He craved so much to sleep in Bebe's lap, to hug his dad, to eat his moms handmade food, to tease and pamper Avni.

Soon he drifted to sleep. Although, his excitement level was so high that he could not sleep. But he needed rest so that when he reaches home, he can spend time with his mom, dad, Bebe and Avu. He knew she'd definitely spend the entire day with him catching up on gossips.

The flight has landed...

At Mumbai airport

Prakash, Shweta and Bebe were waiting for Neil to come out.

Bebe: Sunny, ye Tillu kahan reh gya? Flight to 1 ghanta pehle land hui thi na. Phone karne pooch na usse.

Prakash: Bebe, tussi tension na lo. Security aur baggage mein time lagta hai. Aa jayega.

Shweta: Vo dekhiye, Tillu aa gaya.

Neil comes and hugs everyone and takes their blessings.

Shweta: mera bachcha, kitna sookh gaya hai. Thailand mein khana nhi milta kya?

Neil: mom main koi sookh nhi gya hoon, instead mera weight 3 kilo badh gya hai.
But haan aapke haath ka khana khane ka mann kar rha hai. Aur Bebe, raat ko main aapke lap mein hi sounga.

Bebe and shweta had tears in their eyes.
Neil was happy to meet his family. But was a little upset that Avni hadn't come to receive him. She was the one who did not even leave him for a second whenever he was back from a business trip.
He found it quite odd. He switched his phone on and dialed her number.

Ringing....

A: hello

N: madam kahan hain aap. Mujhe receive karne bhi nhi aayi na tu.

A:I'm sorry Neil. But I was busy planning the special surprise for you.

N: Surprise....Aur vo bhi special.... Upar se mere liye...
Pyaar vyaar to nhi ho gya na tujhe.

A: Bas kuch aisa hi samajh lo...

His heart again skipped a beat after 2 months after listening to her statement.
