"Avni is what?" Aman was about to let out a sherik but checked down his tone throwing his gaze gingerly around, then pulled back his eyes down at his mom.
Aman has just got the news about Avni's health. And since then he is feeling supper elated, has his full support for his bestie.

After getting back home from the club he went to chill with his group on Sunday night, the empty house got him jittery. According to Aman it supposed to be everyone there lounging around the lawn. Mom was not in the kitchen, Bebe wasn't catching up with Sunny Dadi in her room gossiping about her favourite show's vamps.

The second maid informed Aman that Avnididi is not well and she got admited to the hospital, not a single minute Aman wasted there on the spot and walked to the garage to take out his vehicle he parked it there few minutes ago. Next moment he maneuvering his car to the drive way. He rushed to the location Sweta texted while his Dad and his brother both cut his calls.

"Chupkar nalayak dheere bol. Haa Avni is pregnant" Sweta snapped in a whisper.

"Arey waah apke badey betene to Kamal kardiya Swetaji" Aman chaffed curved his lips flashing a lopsided grin raising his eyes at which Sweta reacted with a foul reprimanding tone. She shoot glares at Aman saying him to keep his mouth shut while internally she is on the top most cloud.

*****

"Dadda.
Say something. Please" Avni is dangerously close to breaking down in a copious sob.

"For the first time you made me speechless. Truly Av...." Reyaansh said in a very disappointed tone, heaving a heavy sigh he shoved his hands in his pocket. Stood tall. Just then Neela followed by others walked in. Her steps halted abruptly looking at her daughter lying in a pale hospital bed. That's something very painful for a mother to witness such a depressing sight.

Avni's legs stretched inside a pale white sheet, her upper body upright seated leaning to the headrest. Then when their gaze stilled and her heart turned constricted at the sight infront of her. The signs are so apparent, she didn't notice until now, the doctor was right. Neela her words, her throat ached at the .

"I'm sorry. I hurt you" Avni mumbled looking down at her lap, her voice laced with guilt_A habit she tends to do when she genuinely regrets for something she should not have done. Her glasses turned foggy due to the vapour of her shaky breath casting over her eyes blinding her. At the moment She want to sink in a hole, all her courage, determination hours back disappeared in a thin air out of the window she is in that pale white room. It was painful for her to be in same room and match gazes with her parents. The regression eating her inside. She has never been so reckless with her life, until she fell in love. This so much shameful. She hurt her parents big time for sure.

The man and the woman standing all in shock, heartbroken, Avni knows they deserves much more than just a mere sorry. Her chin wobble at the thought of lamenting of her deeds. All the while she thought she would face how bad their reaction would be. But at this moment, right here she would say she is wrong, she has no right to hurt them. The two person who showed her the world, doesn't deserve this, deserve their daughter to grow up into a traitor. No. The more she regrets the more her breath caught her throat, there is an aching sensation in her chest she has no power to subside it.

"Why Avi? why?" Reyaansh ran hands over his head feeling frustrated. His heart is breaking every second his eyes falling on his daughter, who is vulnerable, pregnant. Although his outer demeanor as hard as some concrete, intimidating, full of harshness, but inside he is spooked, frantic watching her this ashamed.

The same state someone was in years back.
Her state reminding him of her mother. Aheli Chatterjee.

Years back that lady looked the same when Reyaansh first saw her in her labour bed, all vulnerable, petrified, unsure, didn't know what to do with her child. She was all alone, miserable, terrified. The remembrance of Her tears strained face pulled back that night he always wanted to erase from his memory. The picture he had never thought he would relive it again.

"I'm sorry." Avni bleated, this time her voice cracked holding that huge lump of cry which aching her chest to come out loud. He whispered those words casting her head downward, fiddling with her fingers, self-condemned.
Yes she is.

"For what? Being pregnant without marriage? Or For seeing Neil keeping all of us in dark? Or For hiding every single damn thing about your life from me? For which part exactly you are sorry for Avni?" Reyaansh drew in a breath, snarled gritting his teeth at the sight of his daughter not able to even look at him.

Avni gasped looking up at her father when her eyes flickered by his harsh voice. Her father watching her with so much accusation in his gaze that it caused her heart clenched at the sight. He looked more hurt than angry. A sob threatening to blew out of her chest which she stifled biting down her lip. she is the cause his father looked so betrayed.

"Reyaansh calm down" Neela put a hand on his shoulder, tried to stop her husband not to blurt out something he might definitely regret later, which Reyaansh pulled off harshly.

"Don't you dare talk to me Neela. Everything is your fault." Reyaansh rude words hurt Neela, her eyes welled up.

"Please uncle it's not Neela Aunty. It's me" Neil stepped forward sheilding Neela from her husband's wrath.

"You. Get out of my sight." Each syllable he enunciated in a deadly tone. Reyaansh glowered, his eyes stringent at Neil. If it could castrate someone his glares would have done the same to Neil.

"Dadda please" Avni's whimpered, her shaky voice pulled everyone's attention back to her.

"What's going on here? I can't believe You are actually stressing out my patient Dr. Reyaansh. I told you can take Avni home but watching you right now I'm regretting my decision already." The Doctor walking in with a very disappointing facade followed by a nurse, who hurried to Avni.

"Are you alright Avni? Everyone out" doc coaxed Avni then his voicing reprimanding.

"She is my responsibility Doc. I'll take care from here" Neil stated moving to the side Avni is.

"What do you mean by those stupid words of yours? She is coming with us, not you. So stay away my daughter" Reyaansh snapped and responded to which Neil's jaw ticked, his fist tightened.

When it comes to Avni there is no act of compromise between these two male it is evident by now. Everyone just witnessed it through their words exchange.

"Haan haan you are taking your daughter home. Neil will come with us." Prakash stepped in to save the situation so that the two men in verge of eachother throat never get chance their intentions to be fulfilled. And next he did secretly blink his eyes at anxious Avni, silently assuring her not to worry he will take care of her father and boyfriend.

"No dad I'm going no where without Avni" Neil didn't know he had it in him until now. Neil made his intention clear that he will not leave without Avni, which grew Reyaansh more pesky than he already was. He was about to snap saying something disrespectful to Neil but it got interrupted.

"Fine then. Someone please visit the reception, submit the paper work." and saying this doctor walked out.

That took Neil plant a kiss on Avni's forehead. His eyes closed holding immense love and adoration for his lady love, not to mention the girl he loved since he understood the meaning of this particular word.

"Please Reyaansh try understand. I know what you are freaking over. Her situation is not the same. We all are with her, we all will take care of our child Avni. She is not alone, nor those unborn" Prakash said, put a hand on his shoulder when Reyaansh dropped the pen he was holding finishing the paper works.

He turned pulled Prakash into a hug. He couldn't hold back any longer his tears.

"She.....Avni" No words can explain the turmoil Reyaansh is going through. He is in a state of restlessness and Prakash knows the key to calm down his friend, get him solace. Being there for him thats what he wants, the support, the reassurance, that Avni is not Aaheli Chatterjee.

"Shhhhh.....let's not think about the past anymore....she is our daughter, nothing is important than her, whatever it takes we will face. We are all with her, our child" Prakash reassured holding so much trust that send Reyaansh rely on him. He nodded staring at his friend in utter agony at same time much composed . Those words of surety are something he wanted to listen, he didn't know until now.

Reyaansh wiped his eyes, his chest released a hefty sigh that he was holding god knows how long.

"And my son is not that bad, you can give your consent now and apologize at the same time doubting on him"

On such statement Reyaansh was about to laugh out loud but instantly composed himself growing a deep scowl over his forehead.

Later he replied.

"And Someone should learn from you how to take advantages of the situation" and this time he didn't hide but chuckled striding to the way to take his daughter home.

*

"Now no more tears, let's plan the wedding. what do you say Mr. Samdhi ji?" Sweta addressed Reyaansh who has just now stepped in along with Prakash. They just reached back home. They are circled around Avni who is sitting on her bed, leaning her back to the headrest. Her face downcasted. Reyaansh said nothing to her reply and took the seat empty beside Avni. Avni frozen at the spot.

"Not to deny You hurt me big time Avi but I am your father I can't punish you"

"Dadda...." Avni gasped, bit her bottom lip holding a sob at his father's words.

"It's okay Shona. We don't grow, we don't learn if we won't take decisions of your own. We fail, we rise" saying in a gentle tone he put his hand on her head, gently stroking her hair.

"And you are not crying anymore, okay love?" Reyaansh said in a determined tone. he is back in his hard demeanor wiping her big tears, those flowed down Avni's cheeks at his words. She nodded saying yes silently. Reyaansh pulled his daughter to his chest heaved a sigh, kissed at the side of her head.

Before he get caught being getting his eyes glassy he rose off the bed and next he did which is really needed the most. And how much he is apologetic he can't explain in words.

Reyaansh pulled Neela closer draping his arms around her shoulder which made her gaped at her husband in frowning. Reyaansh mouthed her sorry and she blinked a tear, looked away, watching her chin wobbled, his hold tightened more. He is so sorry hurting his woman at the heat of the moment and he is so stupid.

"Now I think Mom has just got the reply she wanted from Uncle, or I would say my boss's would be father in law" Aman smirked, broke the silence.

"Chupkar Nalayak" Bebe snapped stepped over to take sit near Avni. Took her hand in hers looked at her with so much admiration, after all she is her dear Avni.

Avni shyly looked down, sniffled faintly.

And with this everyone laughed out loud while Neil scratched his head smiling awkwardly it is written all over his face, that how badly he is fighting not to grow his face all pink, and Neela with amusement in her eyes she bumped her shoulder on Neil's, ofcourse he is her would be son in law but who cares she still can tease him. In response to Neela everyone's gazes are at Neil who scratched his head again this time followed by a grin struggling hard not to flush his cheek red which he quiet badly failed to hide, and in result this time the only difference is their died down laughter volume increased loud in the room followed by Avni's heartwarming faint giggle which everyone noticed, turning into a shy one.

Because On the other side someone sat beside someone and secretly took hold of that someone's hand tighter the way he never held before. Though there is no more tension between them for being caught.
And this how their journey begins when Neil comes closer and whisper in her ears You are my Love.

The end

I would like to dedicate this chapter the kankad song from Subh Mangal Sabdhan because the words said it all.

And what's yours? Do comment me the song you want to dedicate this update.

Duniya jo dil pe
Bandook bhi rakh de
Phir bhi loon jeet

O kankad bhi kabhi koi
Aa nahi sakta tere mere beech

Tu jo rahegi toh
Saath degi toh
Rishte nibha lunga main
Kishte chuka dunga main
Chhote hain budget mein khwab
Magar anmol meri preet
O kankad bhi kabhi koi
Aa nahi sakta tere mere beech

That's all for now.
