It was a fine morning, the sun was peeping into Avneil's room where Neil made Avni get ready and when Avni got up and turned suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She was having pain in the morning but Avni was hiding it from Neil.

Avni was about to fall: ouch.

Neil held Avni on time and Avni's arm were also automatically goes to his shoulder.

Neil: what happened?

Avni squeezed her eyes and she winces.

Neil: sit here.

Neil helped Avni to sit on the stool. Neil sat on his one knee and on one foot. Neil removed Avni's flat sandal and kept her feet on his knee. Neil saw the swelling because Avni was keeping her weight on it to walk normally. Neil was shocked.

Neil: how did this happen?

Avni opened her eyes and a frown was on her face. Neil looked at Avni who looked at her feet and got a shock. Avni looked at Neil and in nervousness, she held her hair and licked her lips. Neil saw the mark on Avni's arm and he got another shock.

Neil held her arm and Avni looked at her arm.

Neil: what is this?

Avni was shocked and she looked at Neil.

Avni: ab, aa, nothing... Iiii....

Neil warned Avni: don't lie.

Avni was looking at Neil who was waiting for her reply.

Neil: how did you get these wounds?

Avni looked down. Neil was shocked then he thinks and remembered she was all ok till last night and he got an idea how she got these wounds.

Neil: last night, when I had an attack, at that time, this happened.

Avni looked at Neil.

Neil: Am I right?

Avni looked down. Neil was shocked and then he got angry.

Neil: means, I am right.

Avni looked at him while making an innocent face.

Neil: no need to make this face because you will be scolded.

Avni made a sad pout.

Neil: Avni, how can you be so careless?

Avni: I was not careless. I just panicked.

Neil looked at her and he got emotional. Avni looked down. Neil kept Avni's leg down and goes to get the spray and he came back. Avni was looking at him. Neil sat in the same position and took Avni's leg. Neil saw Avni's foot and a tear fell on Avni's ankle and Avni was shocked. Avni cupped Neil's face and saw he is crying.

Avni: Neil, why are you crying? I am fine. It is just a minor sprain. Relax.

Avni wiped his eyes.

Neil: why do you always got hurt because of me?

Avni looked at Neil emotionally.

Neil: Why I become the reason for your pain?

Avni shook her head.

Avni: nothing is like that. Please, don't say this.

Neil cried.

Avni: see, if you cried like this then I will also cry then don't say anything to me. Do you want me to cry?

Neil shook his head.

Avni: then smile, my love.

Avni made a smile with her hand and smiled.

Avni: like this.

Neil chuckled to see her. He wiped his tears by looking down and then he looked at Avni.

Neil: drama queen.

Avni: I will take it as a compliment.

Neil smiled. Avni also smiled. Neil shakes the bottle and sprays Avni's ankle. Avni squeezed her eyes and she suppressed her lips to control her wince. Neil looked at her and left a pinch in his heart. Avni looked at Neil and smiled. Neil also smiled.

Later, the Khanna family was sitting in the dining area. Shweta and Avni came from the kitchen. Shweta was carrying a jug of juice and Avni was carrying a bowl. Shweta was shocked to see Neil ready. Avni came and kept the bowl on the table and she goes to sit with Neil. Shweta was coming slow and she was lost in her thoughts. Shweta looked at Neil and she kept the jug on the table. Shweta sat with Prakash.

Shweta: Tillu, you will go office today also?

Neil, Avni and others looked at her. Neil smiled.

Neil: yes, mom.

Shweta: but you are not well.

Neil: I am fine, mom. 

Shweta: no, you are not. I am not understanding that why suddenly you decided to go office.

Shweta looked at Avni who looked down and Neil noticed that and he looked at Avni then he looked at Shweta.

Shweta: Tillu, you are weak. Stress is not good for your health. Yesterday also you didn't listen to me and see what happened last night.

Neil: Mom, I agreed that last night, I had a stroke but my office work has nothing to do anything with it. When, I was at home then also I had attacks.

Prakash nodded and Bebe also nodded.

Shweta: that's why I asked you yesterday to not go office but who listens to me.

Neil: Mom, you are making an issue unnecessarily.

Avni: no, Neil, Mummy Ji is right at her place. After seeing your last night condition, I also asked you to not go office today. Even, though I saw you first-time last night but she is seeing your condition for days so she knows about your condition better than me.

Neil: but, I am fine. At first, I was devastated but now when everything is fine then now I have realised my mistake that in my grief, I left Dad alone. At this age, I should become his support system and what did I do? I became a liability on him.

Prakash: nothing is like that my son. You are an ideal son.

Neil smiled slightly.

Shweta: don't know, who is putting these things in your mind.

Neil was shocked. Avni looked down.

Neil: mom, please.

Shweta got angry.

Shweta: do whatever you want to do. Waise bhi meri sunta kon hai.

Shweta got up from the chair and Avneil were looking at her. Shweta goes and Avni looked down. Neil kept his hand on Avni's hand under the table and Avni smiled to see him.

Bebe: leave her, when her mind will get cool then she will have breakfast, you continue. Neil, have your breakfast then you have to take your medicine.

Neil nodded. Neil served Avni who looked at him and smiled. Neil slides the plate to Avni and signed her to eat with his eyes. Avni smiled. They started breakfast but Avni turned her face and looked at the stairs. Avni thinks.

Later, Shweta was sitting in her room on the bed and Avni came there by holding the tray. She stopped at the door and thinks. She smiled and went there. Shweta saw her and Avni came to her and kept the tray on the bed. Avni sat while sighing.

Avni: here is your breakfast.

Shweta was looking at her.

Avni: today, you didn't have breakfast so I thought to bring it here. If you do not have tea in the morning, you have a headache.

Shweta was stunned.

Shweta: you remember that?

Avni: of course, after all, I am your daughter.

Shweta got emotional and she smiled.

Avni: Today, I will feed my mother. For saying, we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law but our relationship is unique, we are like mother and daughter, not like, we are mother and daughter. So, today, we will create two histories.

Shweta frowned.

Avni: Usually, mothers feed their kids and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight but today, a daughter will feed her mother and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have fun.

Shweta cupped Avni's face.

Shweta: you are my daughter.

Avni smiled.

Avni: I know.

Shweta kept her hand on Avni's hand and Avni saw that then she looked at Shweta.

Shweta: I am sorry, my child, please forgive me.

Avni shook her head.

Shweta: In tension, don't know, what not I said to you. Please, forgive me.

Avni kept her hand on Shweta's hand.

Avni: Mummy Ji, don't say this. I understand your pain. When I saw Neil's condition last night, I got frightened. I was not able to understand what to do. I can understand, what you are going through.

Shweta: but in that tension also, you didn't question us that why we are not trying to convince him for surgery.

Avni: Because I know that he is refusing for that.

Shweta: Yes, Avni, we tried a lot but he didn't get agree. Avni, now, you can only make him agree.

Avni: I am trying, Mummy Ji, but he is not ready to listen about it. I have asked to doctor to send me the list of the best doctors and I have also taken his appointment today. I want to meet him alone.

Shweta: why?

Avni: because I want to be sure that surgery is a good option or not.

Shweta nodded.

Avni: I don't want to take any risk. We have to handle this matter with maturity.

Shweta was looking at Avni. She cupped Avni's face.

Shweta: you are thinking this much about Tillu and me...

Avni held Shweta's hand in her hand.

Avni: now leave this topic and have breakfast then I have to prepare lunch for your stubborn Tillu.

Shweta smiled and she slapped Avni playfully.

Shweta: naughty girl.

Avni: oh, that I am.

They chuckled then Avni fed Shweta who smiled. Shweta also tried to feed Avni.

Avni: Mummy Ji, I have my breakfast.

Shweta: I know, you didn't have breakfast properly and I am responsible for it. Hmm.

Avni smiled and she eats. Avni fed Shweta.

Avni: Mummy Ji, maybe, I get late in the evening because I have to help Neil with his work.

Shweta nodded.

Shweta: ok.

They smiled.

After that, Avni prepared the lunch for Neil with Shweta and then Shweta packed the lunch and gave it to Avni and patted her cheek. Avni kissed her mother's cheek.

Avni: thank you.

Shweta hits Avni's arm playfully.

Shweta: badmash.

Avni smiled then she goes.

Avni directly entered Neil's cabin to do his encounter that what is he doing and she was shocked to see the view in front of her.
