Chapter 126:

At the time, of the night, Neil was passing by the corridor by keeping the phone at his ear and he heard Avni's phone ring from the room. Neil frowns. He came back as soon as he entered, and he got a shock. Neil saw Avni is getting ready, he was surprised to see her dress.

Avni was applying lipstick. Avni keeps the lipstick on the dressing table and sets her hair with her hand. She saw Neil and smiled.

Avni: Neil, you came.

Avni turns to him.

Avni: how I am looking?

Neil was looking at her confusingly. He was coming to her.

Neil: Are you going somewhere?

Neil stopped at a distance. Avni smiled.

Avni: yes, Neil, I am going to meet my friends.

Neil was shocked.

Avni turns to the dressing table and talked to Neil while finding the things.

Avni: You know, Neil, we are meeting after so my years.

Avni turns to Neil.

Avni: and this is happening because of you.

Neil frowns.

Avni: If you would have not made the plan then I would never realise that I did not meet my friends for long so I thought, why not I also meet my friends.

Neil was just looking at her. Avni smiled, she turned and picked an earring. Avni keeps that at her ear. Avni turns to Neil.

Avni: Neil, I should wear this earring or the one I am wearing is ok.

Neil was staring at her.

Avni: Neil? Neil?

Neil came back to reality.

Neil: hmm.

Avni: what happened? Where are you lost? I am asking you something?

Neil: what?

Avni: this earring? I should wear this earring or the one I am wearing is ok.

Neil looked down.

Avni: again you are silent. What happened to you? I asked you, how I am looking, you did not give me the answer and now you are also quiet. Am I not looking pretty?

Avni makes a sad face.

Neil looked at her.

Neil: you are really going.

Avni makes a face and looked away.

Avni: so what do you think that I am joking? I am standing in front of you all ready and you are asking me this question? What do you think, why I have worn this dress?

Neil looked down.

Avni: And why you did not get ready till now? You will go like this to meet your friends. Hmm. Wait.

Avni keeps the earring on the table and she goes to the cupboard.

Neil in mind: I will go when we have made a plan, I was just teasing you, I wanted to spend time with you.

Neil was sad. Avni closed the cupboard and she came to him. Avni was closing the buttons of Neil's shirt and looked at Neil.

Avni said by closing the buttons: Ali will also be there (Neil instantly looked at Avni) so you don't need to worry about me, he will pick up and drop me home.

Neil felt like Avni has put the salt at his wounds. Avni looked at Neil and she looked down. Avni holds the vest in her hand.

Avni: Neil.

Neil looked at her. Avni signs to wear the vest. Neil looked down and she makes Neil wear the vest and closed the button. Avni sets the vest.

Avni: hmm, now you are looking Mr Neil Khanna.

Neil was looking at her.

Avni: ok, Neil, Ali will come anytime so I am going downstairs, ok.

Avni goes to the table and kept her phone in the clutch (bag) and wears that.

Neil in mind: log to kulhari pair per marte hain maine to kulhari per hi pair rakh diya.

Neil catches his hair. Avni came to him.

Avni: ok, Neil, I am going.

Avni holds Neil's shoulder and kisses his cheek.

Avni: bye, take care and enjoy yourself.

Avni was going and Neil was thinking.

Neil: if Avni goes then what will I do alone at home. And Ali, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't leave Avni alone with Ali.

Neil turns and he saw Avni is near the door. Neil runs to her and stops her by blocking her way.

Neil: Av, Avni, stop.

Avni flinched.

Avni: what happened, Neil?

Neil: you, you will not go anywhere.

Avni frowns. She acted to shock.

Avni: what but why? You are going to meet your friends, to that, that, what's her name... Yes, that Sweetie. Papa Ji, Mummy Ji, Bebe, they also went to meet the relatives and will come tomorrow if you all can go then why can't I go to meet my friends.

Neil: I am not going anywhere. There is no Sweetie, I swear. (Neil pinched his throat, he smiled hesitantly. Avni was nodding her head while smiling.) I was just teasing you, I, I was just kidding. Seriously.

Avni: so who said that I was serious?

Neil was surprised. Avni smiled widely.

Neil: means, means you, you knew that I was teasing you.

Avni: yes, Mr Khanna. What do you think that you are the only smart person in this world. Your wife is smarter than you. I knew, you are desperately doing this.

Neil: means you were not jealous, that was all drama.

Avni raised her eyebrows: Honestly, at first I didn't like that.

Avni looked at Neil with soft eyes.

Avni: but then I realised that you are doing this desperately so that I come back to my normal life.

Avni's eyes got tears: I don't think about our baby.

Neil looked at her emotionally but Avni controlled her emotions she squeezed her eyes and smiled.

Avni: you wanted your Avni back so I thought why don't I give you back your Avni, your wifey in a unique way as you like her.

Neil was smiling.

Avni: Soooo, I twisted your plan at you.

Neil smiled, he cupped Avni's face with one hand.

Neil: are you ok?

Avni smiled and keeps her hand on Neil's hand.

Avni: does something happens to me when you are with me. I am OK.

Neil smiled and he hugs her. Avni sighs with teary eyes. Avni smiled, she wipes her tears and they break the hug.

Avni: I have a surprise for you.

Neil looked at her surprisingly. Avni looked at Neil's hand and holds it. Neil looked at the hands then he looked at Avni who was looking at him.

Avni: come

Avni takes him from there who was looking at her.
