Chapter 146:

It was the time of the morning, the birds were hovering in the sky. Neil entered in the Khanna mansion furiously and everyone was present in the living area except Avni. They looked at Neil. Neil stopped. Aman was going to Avni but he also stopped. Neil came inside and he stopped, he wipes his face with his hand and another hand was on his waist. Everyone was confused to see him.

Shweta: what happened, Tillu?

Neil looked at her then he looked at Bebe. Neil thinks.

Neil: Mom, Dad, Bebe, from now Maddy Bua will not be allowed in this home.

Everyone was shocked. Prakash and Shweta looked at Bebe.

Bebe: will not be allowed? Means?

Neil: means she will not come into this home from now. And if she comes then I will leave this home.

Everyone was shocked.

Neil: I can't live with a fear everyone.

Prakash: Neil, what happened and where had you gone at this morning?

Neil: Dad, I went to meet Maddy Bua.

Bebe frowns.

Neil: to warn her to stay away from my family.

Bebe: what? But why? Have you lost your mind?

Neil turned to Bebe.

Neil: now Bebe. Now I got my senses I would have done this a long time ago.

Everyone was confused. The Mehta family looked at each other. They signed to each other let's go. They were going inside.

Neil: stop.

Everyone stopped. Bebe, Shweta and Prakash looked at the Mehta family. Everyone looked at Neil.

Neil: no one needs to go anywhere. You are also our family and it is connected to Avni so you have the right to know about it.

Neela maa frowns. Neil looked at Bebe.

Neil: Bebe, do you know what has your beloved daughter done?

Bebe looked at him.

Neil: she tried to kill my child.

Everyone was shocked.

Shweta: what?

Neil: yes mom, last night...

Neil told them everything since Maddy went to Avneil's room to give a saree to Avni and then the party incident and everyone was shocked.

Neil: I couldn't believe that my aunt, my aunt can do this but it is true. She tried to harm Avni and my baby.

Everyone was in shock. Aman got angry. They heard the sound of falling something and turned. Neil turned his face and was shocked to see Avni who was shockingly looking at him.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked down and she felt dizzy. Her vision got blurry. Neil was fastly coming to her. Avni stumbles and Neil runs. Neil caught Avni in his arms. Avni looked at Neil who was hell worried. Neil gulps. He cups Avni's face with one hand.

Neil: Av, Avni.

Everyone gathered there except Bebe who was in shock.

Avni's eyes filled with tears.

Avni: Neil.

Neela maa: Neil, take her to the couch.

Neil nods. Neil took Avni to the couch and made her sit. Neil sat beside her. Neil cups her face and keeps away the hair from Avni's face. Avni was sweating.

Neil: you ok?

Avni was in shock.

Avni: Maddy Bua tried to kill my child. She hates me this much that she tried to kill an innocent soul.

Avni looked at Neil. She cried. Neil cups her face and nods. They got emotional. Neil keeps her head on his chest. Neil kissed her forehead.

Neil: sshh.

Aman got angry.

Aman: how dare she to harm my sister? I will not leave her. I will kill her.

Avni looked at Aman, she moved away but Neil was side hugging her. Everyone panics. Aman was going.

Neil: Aman, stop.

Aman stopped and he turned to Neil.

Neil: you don't need to go there. I gave her a warning. Don't go there.

Aman: But Jiju.

Neil: Amaannn.

Aman looked away.

Ashish: Aman, calm down. Neil is saying, he gave her a warning. So relax.

Arnav: but how dare she to do that? How can someone stoop so low?

Kareena looked down.

Shweta: she wanted Avni and Neil's child for Kareena.

The Mehta family was shocked.

Shweta got angry.

Shweta: but when we refused to give our child then she, she did that.

Aman glared at Kareena. Kareena looked at him and she shook her head.

Kareena: Aman, trust me, I don't know about it.

Aman looked away. Neil and Avni looked at her.

Kareena: bro, bhabhi, trust me, I have no idea about it. If I had an idea then I would have stopped her. Trust me.

Neil looked down. Avni felt bad for her.

Kareena: Mamma, papa, trust me.

Aman: Di, Jiju, don't worry about the baby. We don't need your baby because we don't deserve a baby. The person who killed her own child how will she take care of someone else's child?

Kareena looked down. Avni felt bad for Kareena.

Avni: Aman.

Aman: Please, Di. No need to take her side. Anyways, you don't worry your baby will stay with you. Just wipe off this thought from your mind that you have to give your child to anyone else.

Neil looked at Bebe.

Neil: I am sorry, Bebe, but from now Maddy Bua will not come here. I can't live every day with a fear. I want my wife and child's safety.

Avni was looking at Neil then she looked at Bebe.

Neil: I am sorry, Bebe, I know, it will hurt you but... she will not be allowed here.

Bebe was in shock.

Bebe: Maddy did that? I can't believe it. Where did I lack in her upbringing? I could not be able to give her the right upbringing. I failed as a mother.

Avni shook her head. Neil got up and he goes to Bebe. Neil holds her shoulders.

Neil: no, Bebe, it is not your mistake, you did a phenomenal upbringing of your children and dad is a living example of it.

Bebe looked at him. Neil wipes her tears.

Neil: don't blame yourself.

Avni: yes, Bebe, Neil is saying right. Don't blame yourself.

Bebe cries. Suddenly, Avni coughs and everyone panicked. Neil came to her and sat beside her. Neil rubs her back but Avni was coughing badly.

Neil: Water.

Shweta nods but Kareena came with a glass of water.

Kareena: Bro.

Aman jerks her hand and the glass falls on the floor and it broke. Everyone was shocked. Avni looked at Aman and coughed.

Aman: we don't need your water, don't know what you have added to it just like your mother.

Kareena cried and ran from there. Sonia brought the glass of water.

Sonia: Neil.

Neil took the glass and made Avni drink water. Avni was better now but still, she was coughing.

Avni: Aman. What is this behaviour?

Avni coughs.

Shweta: Avni, don't talk, you are still not stable.

Avni nods then she glared at Aman. Neil caressed her hair. He moves away the hair from her face and cups her face.

Neil: you ok?

Avni nods.

Neil: why did you come downstairs? You need rest, right?

Avni: I came to get water.

Shweta: you could call us.

Avni: I called Bheema Di, and also dialled your, mamma's number but no one received my call.

Neela maa was standing behind the couch.

Nm: my phone?

She looked at her hands and around. Her phone was kept on the table.

Nm: it is here.

Neela caressed her hair.

Nm: sorry, bacha.

Avni shook her head.

Neil: ok, now come, let's go to the room. You need rest.

Nm: first, have breakfast then go.

Neil: No, send our breakfast to the room.

Avni kept the hand on his hand.

Avni: I want to have breakfast with all.

Neil was about to say but Avni signed at Bebe with her eyes. Neil looked at Bebe then at Avni. Avni nods. Neil also nods.

Neil: ok.

Bebe: I am not hungry, you all have breakfast.

Bebe goes. Avneil looked at each other. They think.

Suddenly, Avni felt a sharp pain in her belly. She catches her belly and squeezed her eyes.

Avni: aah.

Neil panicked.

Neil: Avni.

Avni: Neil.

Neil took away the hair from her face and cups her face with one hand.

Neil: hmm.

Avni: Neil. It's, it's paining.

Neil: did she have anything?

Aman: she had two slices of apple. I fed her two slices of an apple.

Neil: ok. Thanks, Aman.

Neil looked at Shweta.

Neil: mom, take care of her. I am going to get her medicine.

Bebe came back. Neil got up. He was about to go.

Nm: take her to the room, after medicine, she will have a rest.

Neil nods.

Bebe: what happened?

Shweta was crying.

Shweta: Avni is having pain in her lower abdomen.

Bebe was shocked. She looked at Avni whom Neil picked in his arm. Avni was in severe pain.

Neil: please give me a way.

Everyone nods and moves away. Neil took Avni from there and others follow him.

Neil came into the room and others were behind him. Neil made Avni lays on the bed and runs to take the medicine. Shweta covers Avni with the duvet. Avni was wriggling because of pain.

Neil came back and sat on the bed. Neil was sitting at the foot side on his side. Neil was finding the medicines and he panicked. Neil wipes his sweat by looking at Avni who was in severe pain.
