It had been an year to the lady's death whose case was handled by neil

Nothing had changed in the past 1yr in AvNeil's life except for the fact that their love for eachother was still the same& the trust in their relationship was as solid as a rock

By now, aman& kareena were now happily married &were going great in their job life as well

*****
It was a very special day or rather a very special evening for the khannas, mehtas& most importantly for neil
They were going to an event where avni was nominated amongst the list of the best designer of the year

They all arrived &got seated
Avni was nervous& her hands were shivering- it was after a long time that she was gonna face so many people
She was damn nervous

Neil noticed this &held her hand in his warm hands, ensuring her that it will go smoothly
One look at her husband& their cute daughter dia& avni forgets all her worries& nervousness

Yes, they had adopted the baby girl a week after the lady's death &both the families were very happy after her arrival
AvNeil named their daughter dia bcz she fulfilled the absence of a child in their lives
(In case of confusion, refer previous chap)

Avni smiled in response

Soon the function started &people started receiving awards for different achievements

Now it was turn for best designer

Host-
so the next award is for the best designer of the year
And the award goes to Mrs Avni Neil Khanna

Neil's eyes widen in happiness while avni was busy digesting what she just heard
She hugged neil& then went on stage

The host gave her the microphone

A-honestly speaking i dont know what to say
I resumed work after7 longs yrs but i never thought that i will get rewarded for my efforts so soon
The credit for my success goes to many people but most importantly, my husband

Neil smiled at her statement while avni continued

A- neil has always supported me- through thick& thin
Hes my biggest strength& i feel blessed to have him as my husband
My in laws too, pushed me& motivated me towards my work rather than being a housewife
They always told me to follow my dreams
Thank you everyone

Everyone in the audience clapped while neil's eyes had immense pride& love for his wifey
She soon came down the stage& sat beside neil
Dia came back to avni's lap
Neil pulled avni closer to him by her waist& pecked dia's forehead who gave him a wide smile

Dia was damn cute& was the apple of everyone's eye
She wasnt even an year old but recognised everyone in the family very well-
Be it the family or their friends, she was loved by everyone

Soon the function ended& after wishing avni for her success, everyone to their respective homes

*****

Once home, khannas thought of keeping another get together on the weekend bcz it was dia's first birthday
Everyone agreed& then went to sleep

*****

AvNeil room-

Avni had changed dia's clothes& put her to sleep in her cradle
Neil pecked dia's forehead while avni was busy admiring their father- daughter bond
Her eyes turned glassy

N-kya hua avni?

Avni hugged neil tightly while neil started caressing her hair

N-what happened sweetheart?

A-thank you for coming into my life neil
Today when i look behind, i just feel that what my life wouldve been if i hadnt met you
No matter how hard i try, somewhere, my past still haunts me

N-sshhhh!
Dont think about the past now- just cherish the present
Moreover, ab toh humari dia ka birthday ara hai

A-hmmm

Avni was still hugging neil in his arms when a thought struck neil's mind& he broke the hug

N-wifey both of us havent changed& freshened up yet

A-haa
Tum jao phir men jaungi

N-uski kya zarurat h?(smirking)

A-muje esa kyu lagra h k tum apne single track mind pe jaare ho?

N-absolutely right wifey

Before avni could react, neil picked her in bridal style

Mature content ahead -

A-what are you upto mr husband?

N- wait& watch my love
He moved to the bathroom &put avni down
He started moving closer to avni while she took steps backwards

Neil turned on the shower nozzle& water started flowing in jet speed, wetting both of them

N-why waste water wifey? (Winks)

Avni blushed while neil pulled her in his arms
By now she was also turned on
As neil slowly pulled down the pallu of her saree, she started unbuttoning his shirt
Soon he unhooked her blouse followed by her bra& nuzzled his face in the nape of her neck, earning a moan from her

Avni removed his trouser& in no time, they were totally naked
Neil moved avni's hair aside to nuzzle more& she gave him more access, while running her hands around his bare chest& then in his dense hair
He inhaled her feminine scent& bit her breasts one by one while she moaned which was another turn on for neil

Neil rubbed his manhood on her core, making her moan his name even louder
She supressed her moans so that others dont wake up in the house but neil pouted bcz he loved hearing his name from her mouth
Avni too, felt bad but she had no other option
Moreover, the thought of breaking dia's sleep would put them in another problem & poiling of the moment

To divert neil's mind, avni started applying soap on him &neil responded equally
Soon their bodies were covered with lather

Neil again rotated the shower knob& soon the running water removed the soap from their skin
They cleaned themselves &after wearing their nightwear, they slept off, cuddling in eachother arms

*****

Next morning-

Neil was the first one to wake up& once awake, he started his favourite job- to stare at his lovely wife
He could notice the love bites on her skin bcz of her slightly opened zip
He recollected the mini makeout they had last night in their bathroom &smiled
He slowly got up& picked dia from her cradle who was also awake by now

She gave a bright smile to neil but soon it turned into cries
She started opening& closing her mouth &neil understood that she was hungry

Hearing her cries, avni too woke up
neil handed her over to avni who started nursing her
Although avni was well aware of the gaps given to a baby between every meal, yet neil used to be extra careful with dia's diet& avni loved the care he gave to their daughter

Neil smiled looking at their bond& then went to freshen up while avni got busy with dia
She was anyway on maternity leave so she had the entire day to take care of dia
While dia clutched onto avni, avni started playing with her tiny fingers& kissed her chubby cheeks
After dia was done, avni wiped her mouth &put her back into the cradle
She pulled out her& dia's clothes
Once neil came out of washroom, avni gave bath to dia& freshened up herself as well

Soon AvNeil went down for breakfast &avni put dia in her highchair
Everyone started playing with dia while she giggled& enjoyed everyone's attention

**Time lapse***

Weekend had arrived &so had dia's first birthday
Everyone was happy yet busy in khanna mansion bcz they were doing the final preparations as the party was in the evening

*****

Evening-

Dia had woken up from her afternoon nap& avni changed her dress after which she herself got ready
Soon neil came into the room& was awestruck by looking at the 2most important females in his life

Dia was in her cradle- busy playing with her toys
As soon as avni was about to apply sindoor on her head, neil held her hand from behind &turned her around, making her face him

He took a pinch of sindoor& applied on her head while she snaked her arms around his neck &starred at him lovingly

Neil kept the small container back on the table

N-wifey agar tum muje ese hi ghoorti rahogi toh mere single track mind phirse activate ho jayega& i wont be able to control my hormones
Look esa nahi h ke we dont spend time together but after dia's arrival you are so busy& tired by the end of the day that you are just not able to give US any time (pouts)

Avni realised that neil was right- after dia's arrival into their life, she was busy in managing home& was soon gonna resume office which meant that neil's words were true
She didnt realize when she almost started neglecting the person behind all the happiness in her life- her husband who loves her dearly

Avni immediately felt guilty& took neil in a bone crushing hug, sniffingwhich left neil surprised- yes he was little upset that avni didnt give him time but he didnt expect that she will end up crying

N-avni im sorry jaan
I didnt mean to hurt you
Plz dont cry- you know that i cant see you in tears

A-no neil
You are absolutely right &i am at fault-
I became so busy& involved in dia that i almost forgot about the person bcz of whom i can experience motherhood
You adopted a child who isnt your blood just for my happiness& i became so selfish that i unknowingly started neglecting our relationship-i neglected our marriage neil
Im really sorry

N(rubbing her back)-sshhh!
Its ok
You dont need to feel sorry
It can happen with anyone
Abhi neeche chalo warna log wahi sochenge jo men apne single track mode men sochta hu(smirks)

A-cheee neil
Tum kabhi nahi sudhroge

N-kya karu-meri wifey h hi itni pyaari& beautiful ki nazar hata hi naha pata

A-so cheesy na
Abhi chalo

AvNeil pick dia& go downstairs where guests had just started arriving
Bebe noticed them coming &did their aarti

B-mere baccho ko kisi ki nazar na lage

Shweta holds dia from neil's hands& AvNeil take bebe's blessings
Soon the guests start arriving- including AvNeil friends &give gifts to dia who soon gets involved with everyone
In meantime, prakash brings the 3 tier cake& with help of AvNeil, dia cuts the hello kitty cake with her tiny hands

(Ignore the caption &imagine dia written in the centre)

When the cake was cut, AvNeil feed a tiny piece of cake to dia& so do others

AvNeil feed the cake to eachother as well& then stood close to eachother, starring at the love of their life- their daughter who was busy laughing &giggling with everyone

A-aaj humari jaan ek saal ki hogyi neil

N-hmmm
And you know whats the best part?
That huge smile on her face

A-i know- her 1smile makes me forget all my tensions
I love you

N- i love you too
Neil is about to kiss avni when she widens her eyes& stops him

A-neil!
Kya karre ho
At least surroundings ka toh thoda dhyaan rakho

N-ok
Toh upar room men chale kya?
Wese bhi sab busy h-nobody would notice our absence(smirks)

A-tum nhi sudhroge na?

Neil nods negatively

N-men sudharna nahi chahta kyuki muje pta h ke tumhe mera ye naughty version kitna pasand h-chahe tum kitna bhi refuse kyu na karo

Avni blushes

N-see
Your blush is proving me right(smirks)

A-never change yourself neil
I love you just the way you are

N-i love you too (pecks her hand)
Avni smiles

Soon AvNeil join everyone
While playing with dia, everyone starts having dinner& slowly everyone starts leaving

Dia too, was extremely tired& became cranky& started crying
Neil put her on his shoulder &rubbed her back
His trick did work but not for long

While everyone thought of dia to be just exhausted, AvNeil knew that more than being tired, she must be hungry so as soon as others left for their rooms, avni took dia to their room& after closing the door, she undressed a little &as soon as dia gained access, she stuck herself to avni
After some time neil entered their room &seeing dia's sucking speed, he had only 1comment-

N-looks like my princess was damn hungry
He sits next to avni& caresses dia's tiny hands& kisses her cheeks

A-definitely
You know i tried feeding her favourite homemade juice but after 3 sips, she refused& then got involved with everyone

N- ye bilkul tumhari tarah h

A-matlab?

N-tum bhi jab kisi cheez men bohot busy ho jati ho toh apne khaane- peene ka bilkul dhyaan nahi rakhti
Ye bhi jab sabke sath involve ho jati h toh bhook ko side-line kar deti h

A-hmmm
Avni rested her head on neil's shoulder

A-neil

N-hmmm

A-i love you

N-i love you both

He pecked dia's forehead who soon detached herself from avni& was fast asleep in avni's arms which clearly meant that she was full as well as tired
AvNeil just smiled at her lovingly

Avni wiped dia's mouth& then changed her clothes after which neil put her in the cradle, covering her with her favourite hello kitty blanket
Meanwhile avni changed into her nightgown while neil changed into his pjs& t shirt

Both lay down on the bed &after covering them with duvet, avni shifted her head on neil's chest while he pulled her closer& she snuggled into him& both dozed off in deep slumber

*****

Next day-

A new week had started& AvNeil were getting back to routine-

Avni resumed office via home itself- be it formal meetings or some paperwork, she handled it all via video calls
She had decided to follow this routine until dia turned at least 3/4 yrs of age
Seeing her dedication towards her work, the authorities didnt question her much& went with the flow

Khannas were surprised by avni's multi tasking skills- the way she handled office &dia both was commendable
To give their contribution, they just made sure that the study room doesnt get messed up at all bcz thats where she used to attend her formal meetings on video call

During all this, avni could see that their married life was becoming monotonous all over again so she decided to surprise neil when an idea struck her mind& she discussed her idea with shweta who agreed to do as avni had planned

*****

Same evening-

Avni called up neil

N-haa jaan
Bolo

A-tum hospital se nikal gaye kya?

N-not yet
Bas thodi der men niklunga
Aaj cab se aaunga bcz subah subah car service men deni padi- kuch problem hogyi thi

-cab ka issue mat rakho
You just be ready
Men tumhe pick karne aari hu

N-ok

Soon avni reached hospital parking where neil was already waiting

A-sorry
Late hogyi

N-no problem jaan

Neil sat& kissed her forehead

They drove off to their destination
Almost 35 mins had passed since avni had started driving
Though the radio was on, yet neil couldnt divert his mind

N- avni men kabse puch rha hu- hum kaha jaare h yaar?
Jab tumne seedha jaane ki jagah right turn lia tabse men puch raha hu
Ab toh suspense khatam karo

A- bas thodi der aur mr husband

Neil pouted &avni smiled seeing him

After some time they reached a resort where they were welcomed by the manager while neil gave avni a confused look

M-welcome sir& mam
This way plz

AvNeil follow the manager& reach a beautifully decorated table for 2with fairy lights, artificial sky lanterns& candles all around

M-heres the menu card
Your room will also be ready in a while
Enjoy your stay at our resort

Manager left
Like a gentleman, neil makes avni sit& gets seated himself
They place their order

Neil was still staring at the romantic atmosphere all around while avni smiled at his surprised face

N-candle light dinner kis khushi men?
You got a promotion or some new project??(excited)

A-nope

N-phir?

A-pichle kuch dino men hum itne busy hogaye the ke hume sath time spend karne ka chance hi nahi mila
Especially muje- i felt so bad that i wasnt able to give you time
Even after dia's birthday, hum bas room men ghuste they, dia ko sula dete they& bed par lette hi so jate they-
We didnt get the time to talk about how our day was, about how work has been going or just about eachother health- saare topic dia pe start hoke ussi pe khatam ho jate they
Thats why i felt that this was very much needed

Dia ke aa jane ka ye matlab thodi h ke men apni zindagi ki sabse important person ko ignore karne lagu?
Tumse zyada important na mere liye kabhi koi tha, na ab h aur na hi kabhi hoga- you are my topmost priority neil

Neil's eyes turned glassy by now
He pulled avni's hands in his& kissed them one by one
N-im really lucky to have yoYou as my wife avni
Thank you

A-my pleasure hubby

N-par dia ka kya?
I mean wo bhale hi ghar pe h& mom, dad, kareena, bebe- sab h uska khayal rakhne ke liye but she must be hungry by now

A-dont worry
Usse bottle feed bhi suit karta h

N-when did you realise?

A-mene kuch din pehle try kia tha& it worked

N-very smart wifey
Ghar pe pura backup ready karke aayi ho

A-bilkul

Soon the waiter arrived with the order& they have the dinner while romancing at intervals
After dinner they both got up

N-ghar chale?

A-kyu?
Tumhe kya laga?
Thats it?

N-haa(little confused)

A-well then let me tell you that theres more
Chalo mere saath

They move towards a passage which had small rooms which resembled huts
They were still walking when neil spoke

N-par tumne ye sab plan kab kia?

A-mummyji se idea share kia
Unhone ghar pe sambhal liya& mene online booking karke ye arrangements karvaye

N-very smart wifey

A-here we are

Room no5- neil saw on the door

Avni opened the door with the key which manager had given her some time back
There were no floors in the resort-only single rooms

AvNeil entered their room& avni locked the door while the decoration had left neil speechless-

The room was beautifully decorated with scented candles, neil's favourite flowers& rose petals sprinkled on the bed in shape of a heart

A-kesa laga?

Neil didnt know what should he say

A-I know decoration isse better ho sakta tha but romance ke department men tum mujse zyada expert ho na

Avni kept on blabbering &justifying the simple decoration bcz she thought that neil didnt like it as he hadnt said anything as yet while avni was still waiting for his response
Neil just pulled her into a bone crushing hug, pouring all his love in it

N-you dont need to say anything
Its beautiful just the way it is& i loved it

Avni tightened the hug while neil pushed her hair to 1side, sinking his face in the nape of her neck while she gave him more access
He deepened the hug, earning a moan from avni
Neil broke the hug &cupped avni's face

N-shall i proceed?

A-im all yours

Mature content ahead-

Neil took it as a yes& picked avni in bridal style &moved towards the bed
He slowly lay her down& then hovered over her, making sure to not put his weight on her
He kissed her forehead, eyes& cheeks after which he bit her earlobe while avni again moaned in pleasure

Neil finally claimed her lips in a passionate kiss- it was soft yet wild
They poured all their love for eachother in it
Neil bit avni's lower lip, making her gasp
He entered her mouth &started tasting every corner of her mouth
Their tongues started fighting for dominance but both of them went out of breath

While avni was breathing heavily, neil wasnt done yet &avni was prepared for what was about to happen next
Neil threw the coat of his suit in a corner of the room& unzipped avni's dress from behind

(After coming to the resort, they had changed into the clothes which avni had picked beforehand itself)

Neil slowly moved the sleeves of avni's dress downwards, exposing her shoulders &little bit of cleavage while avni unbuttoned his shirt

Neil again nuzzled into avni's neck while she ran her fingers in his dense her, moaning his name constantly which aroused neil even more
Neil slipped down avni's dress& now she was only in her lingerie
Neil could feel her getting wet

By now neil was shirtless &avni was struggling to remove his suit's pants
He smiled seeing her urge while she glared at him in anger
Seeing her ladydon version coming out, he immediately removed his belt& then the trouser
Now he was only in his boxers

Avni pulled him closer to her

A-although you were looking damn handsome in that black tuxedo, yet you look hotter without it (winks)

N-thanks for the compliment my love
I would be damn happy if i get to see your wild avatar more often

Avni slapped his shoulder

A-kuch toh sharam karo
you are a father to a 1yr old daughter now

N-meri wifey itni hot lagri h ke muje aur kisi cheez ka hosh nahi- i just want to make her feel loved tonight (smirking)

A-shes all yours

Neil ran his hands throughout her body, feeling every inch of her
He unhooked her bra from behind& threw it away
He kissed her boobs one by one& then bit them while avni moaned in extreme pleasure

They again shared a kiss after which neil gave wet kisses to avni everywhere& slowly moved downwards
He slowly bit her belly button while avni was a moaning mess by then- his ministrations were driving her crazy &increased the volume of her moans as well

She pulled him up& tossed their positions- now she was hovering above him& started giving wet kisses on his well built abs along with many love bites on his chest& back of his neck while he enjoyed it all in extreme pleasure- she had an unknown effect on him which he loved to feel

Neil again tossed their positions &was again hovering over avni
Now she was laying on her stomach& her back was facing him
He gave alot of wet kisses& hickies on her back which were a turn on for her
He slowly tossed her& now avni was again facing him

N-shall i?

Avni blinked her eyes in response
She removed his boxers with her feet& neil removed her damp undies
Now they both were completely naked

N- already so wet wifey?
You couldnt control huh??(smirks)

A-neil plz dont tease me- at least not right now otherwise you will face the after effects

Neil knew what avni meant
He became nervous while avni smirked

Neil rubbed his manhood above her core, making her moan in pleasure
He inserted his 3fingers inside her core while she was in immense pleasure
They were busy in their own world when something struck neil's mind-something extremely important

Neil pulled out his fingers while avni frowned

A-what happened neil?
Tum theek ho or are you tired??

N-no yaar

A-then what?

N-i dont have protection

A-relax
Im on pill(winks)

Neil sighed in relief

N-looks like you were very well prepared huh?

A-being the wife of an extremely romantic person, i couldnt afford any blunders tonight& moreover, becoming a parent doesnt mean that you let the spice of your relationship die, right?

Neil couldnt do anything but to fall for his wifey all over again
He just kissed her on her lips while avni reciprocated with equal passion
In the next moment, she bit his manhood, making him moan as if in heaven after which neil entered his full length in her core while avni moaned in pleasure

It was priceless for both of them bcz everytime felt as if the first time
After3 hours of making love, they finally climaxed& neil cleaned both of them after which he lay avni on the bed & after laying beside her, she kept her head on his bare chest, snuggling into him completely- they again inhaled eachother scent

AvNeil in chorus- i love you

As soon as avni cuddled into neil in sleep, he too, covered themselves with the duvet &slept off- in their own world of paradise
