Next morning-

Avni woke up& felt as if she was on cloud9
She still blushed thinking about neil& their previous night
She turned towards the clock& saw it was just 5:30 so she thought of sleeping little more
She turned, hugged neil& dozed off cudling in his arms

It was around 7 when both of them woke up, got ready, had breakfast &got back to work (though they had to cover their necks& areas around it to hide the love bites to avoid getting embarrased by fam members (neil used to go to the station& avni handled cases from home itself)

**Another time lapse***

Avni was5 months pregnant &her late night demands had increased as well

At times when neil used to refuse(which obviously had strong reasons behind them), she used to blackmail him emotionally &he used to often give up- this was the only habit of avni which used to irritate neil the most but from within, he also knew that she too, was kindof helpless as she had no control over her emotions &whenever she realised it,she ended up feeling guilty& low for torturing neil

Neil cuould handle anything except for an upset& low avni

Bebe, prakash &shweta were the happiest people on earth as they used to love the way neil handled avni& her childish demands
They used to love the way he maintained the balance of strict &sweet so perfectly as they had seen AvNeil returning home late at night- from a long drive, a weird craving or just need of fresh air

In case of cravings, unlike other pregnant women, she hated all spicy stuff& always wanted something sweet like ice cream, chocolates, sweet dishes etc

Neil always used to scold her for her frequent demands of ice cream but she hardly paid any attention to his words
Bebe prakash shweta always used to backout from such arguments as they couldnt choose 1 of them- they loved AvNeil equally

And then came a day when neil's worst nightmare came true

Neil returned home& started taking avni's name
On getting no response, he thought she might have slept off so he directly went to his room but as he entered, the floor swept off his feet at the sight in front of him

N(on top of his lungs)- AVNI!!!

He saw an unconscious avni lying beside the bed with some broken glass pieces nearby& she was in a pool of her own blood which was still oozing out from her feet

Flashback-

Bebe prakash shweta had gone to maddy & kareena's home for a few days (as they had shifted to Mumbai)& avni had promised that she will take care of herself &they left
It was dinner time& neil wasnt home yet

Avni was so busy in her files that she didnt realise when she started neglecting dinner& her medicines (multivitamin etc)
Her head started acheing& along with an almost empty stomach &due to the unnecessary work related stress she took, when she was about to drink water, the glass slipped off her hand& she lost consciousness

Flashback over

Neil tied a cotton cloth to her feet to stop the bleeding& rushed to the nearest hospital
