Her lips curves into a smile as she read his message.

Avni : I really miss you Neil. I love you too.

She whispered as she caressed his photo on the gallery. She then placed her phone on charging and getting down the bed moves go washroom.

Ruffling her wet hair with the towel and dressed in a bathrobe, she walks out of the washroom. She glanced at the bed where she found all empty and loneliness. His intense gaze, his smile, his smirk, she missed everything of his.

Moving to the closet, she took a saree out and others essentials out and walking towards bed. She starts getting ready.

Walking up to dressing table. She sat down and did her morning skin routine.

Standing up and glanced herself in the mirror once she was ready. Putting a smile on her face she walks to bed side and unplugging her phone charging she walks out of the room.

As she descends down the stairs she noticed Bebe and swetha heading towards the temple.

She also follows them, she took her slippers out and covering her head enters into the temple standing beside swetha who smiled at her to which she returns the smile back.

Bebe started the Pooja while other two prayed. Bebe ending the Pooja turns around and smiles at them.

Avni bends down touching Bebe feet and Bebe placing a hand on her head blessed Avni.

The ladies walks out of the temple while talking when swetha mentioned about Neil.

Swetha : did Neil call you Avni?

Avni : yes mom! He did but I wasn't able to answer it. He dropped a message and has safely reached.

Swetha nodded her head and discussed on what to make for breakfast. Upon on that Avni thought to make breakfast to distract her mind.

Swetha agreed and entering the in kitchen both of them starts preparing for breakfast.

Once the breakfast was ready, they got the table ready and called Prakash and Bebe to join.

Prakash enters and smiles at them sitting his seat.

Prakash : good morning beta. How are you feeling?

Avni : good morning dad. I'm okay.

Prakash nodded his head and smiles as she serves him. Bebe soon to joined them taking her seat.

They all starts eating while Avni played with her food which was noticed by everyone. They looked at each other and sighed.

Prakash : Avni beta. Why aren't you eating? Are you not feeling okay?

Avni looks up and noticed everyone staring her.

Avni : no dad! I'm eating..

Prakash : I can see how well you are eating beta. What's the matter? Why aren't you eating? Is it because you miss Neil? Beta you can't neglect your health like that. At least have something. You have playing with the food past 10 minutes.

Avni simply nodded her head and starts eating though her hunger died down. Her family helpless sighed and ate their breakfast.

Swetha wraps the table up while Prakash sits beside Avni placing his hand on her shoulder.

Avni : yes dad! You want to say something?

Prakash : yes! I had thought a lot about this. If you ever feel lonely or want go back to Delhi, then I don't hesitate to send you home. I know what you must be feeling and it will be hard after Neil has return back to military. Beta what are you plans? When do you start working? I don't mean that.. please don't it other way.. I just can't see you being like this. You have to be strong.. you know what I am trying to say.

Prakash : what is it beta? You can tell me.

Avni : I was wondering to join your company and help you out in business. I have spoken to Neil. He said to do what makes me happy. Dad what do you think? I will be returning back to my work in a month or so. I can help you out.

Prakash : that's brilliant idea. If this is what you want to do then how can I say no. I will be going office today. Do you want to join me? I can show to around and introduce you to the staffs.

Avni : I don't feel like going today dad. I will join you tomorrow. Is that okay?

Prakash : perfectly okay. You should go and take some rest. You didn't get full rest after you have returned the from the trip.

Avni nodded her head and got to leave but stopped turning around and looks at Prakash.

Avni : thank you dad.. I really appreciate our conversation. It made me feel better.

Prakash also got to and side hugs patting her head softly.

Prakash : we are they for you beta. Come to us when you feel need to talk to someone. My son has chose the best.

Avni smiles and thanking him once again she headed back to het room.

Closing the door behind her, she sat on the bed folding her legs. She grabs Neil's phone and caressed it.

Avni : what will you be doing right now?

Her thoughts wandered how a month passed so quickly. It has been almost a month passed for their marriage. Times flies so quick.

She kissed his photo and hugs it to her chest...

She then began talking to his photo. Her talks were interrupted by her phone ring, she placed the photo on side and grabs her phone to see Nandini calling her.

She smiles and answered the call.

Avni : hello Nandini. How are you?
