Next morning
Avni's sleep is broken by the sound of her phone, hearing which she immediately gets up because she was waiting for this call since yesterday evening and finally he called her.
She sits straight on the bed and holds her phone in front of her face where she sees Neil's face who's looking at her lovingly. But she can clearly see the sadness on his face and looking at his eyes, she feels as if he did not sleep the whole night.
Why is he taking so much tension for such a small thing, what happened Shweta is not agreeing right now, if both of them try then she will agree....What's the point in getting sad so quickly?
But before she could say anything, Neil speaks
" Good morning lily " Avni feels sadness in his voice too but after thinking something she stay silent and seeing her silent like this, Neil says
" Kya hua ? Chup kyon ho ?" Neil asks questions to which Avni does not say anything and seeing her like this, Neil asks again.
" Avni kuch bol kyon nahi rahi " Neil speaks to which Avni tells him
" Main aapse naraz hu, mujhe nahi karni aapse baat ?" Hearing this from her, he sees her thinking something.
" Ab maine tumhare saath kya kar diya jo naraz ho ?" Avni again feels sadness somewhere in his voice, This is not her Neil who was in a cheerful mood every day but still she tells him her complaint.
" Kal shaam se aapne mujh se baat nahi ki aur puchh rahe hai maine kya kiya ?" Neil smiles slightly after hearing her complaint.
" Sorry, mere phone ki battery dead ho gyi thi aur mujhe khayal hi nahi aaya phone charge karne ka..." He lies, in reality he was so depressed by Shweta's rejection that he did not know how to tell this to Avni.
" Waah, mtlb puri shaam aur raat ko mera khayal aapko ek baar bhi nahi aaya ki chalo bechaari Avni se baat kar li jaaye... " She speaks making a grumpy face.
" Aisi baat nahi hai Avni, main bas......
" Main bas kya... aur aisi baat nahi hai to kaisi baat hai..... nahi, nahi... ab aapko mera khayal kyon aayega... log sahi kehte hai aap kisi ke liye tab tak hi important hote ho jab tak wo aapko mil naa jaaye.. uske baad koi value nahi rehti...." Saying this she pouts, seeing which Neil smiles, he understands that the spirit of her drama side has come inside her in the morning.
" Drama queen apna drama band karo..." Hearing this Avni pouts again angrily and Neil continues
" Tumhe pta hai tumhari importance kya hai meri life me.... chahe jo ho jaaye, kitne saal beet jaaye mera pyar tumhare liye nahi badlega aur naa hi tumhari importance kam hogi meri life me...to ye khayal dubara apne man me laana bhi nahi ki tumne mujhe haan keh diya hai to tumhari value kam ho gyi hai....." Hearing this, Avni smiles pressing her lips together and Neil speaks further.
" Main bas thoda paresaan tha jiski wajah se jaldi soo gya tha isiliye call nahi kar paaya... sorry, maaf kardo..."
" hmm, It's ok par aap paresaan kyon the ? aunty ne mnaa kar diya mujhe..."
She asks smilingly to which Neil looks at her... even though she knows the answer she still asks Neil this question
" Aisi baat nahi hai... maine baat hi nahi ki humare baare me ghar par..." He lies so that she doesn't feel bad but he didn't know that she already knew everything
" Oh, fir ye to accha kiya aapne " hearing her words Neil smiles slightly
" Accha Avni main tumse baad me baat karta hu... tum bhi ready ho jao " Saying this, Neil is about to disconnect the phone but Avni stops him.
" Neil....
" Hmm.."
" I love you...." Neil smiles hearing this, she rarely says this word to him but when she does, it gives him a different kind of energy which he needed today.....She loves him and he will not give up quickly, he will convince everyone.
" I love you too my love " Neil says this which makes Avni smile
" ok now bye..." Saying this, Avni disconnects the phone while smiling shyly, seeing which a smile comes on Neil's face too.
Later Neil gets ready to go to his office and as soon as he gets ready and comes down, he finds his family...His eyes meet Shweta's but he looks away from her and is about to go straight out of the house but Bebe stops him.
" Neil, bina nashta kiye kahan jaa raha hai.... 5 minute ruk jaa, nashta karke jaa...." Neil hears this from Bebe and turns towards them.
" Mujhe bhukh nahi hai bebe..." Saying this, Neil is about to leave from there but Bebe stops him.
" Neil ye kya bachpana lgaa rakha hai tune.. ab tu bachcha nahi hai jo is trah apni zidd puri karwana chahta hai " bebe says this to him on which Neil sees her
" Bebe mujhe aap sab se apni koi zidd puri nahi karwaani hai aur rahi baat Avni ki to mujhe bas aap sab ko uske baare me btaana tha... aage aap sab maane yaa naa maane main shaadi to usi se karunga...." He says this while looking at Shweta and continues
" Aap sab baat nahi karna chahte wahaan jaakar it's ok main aap log ko force bhi nahi karunga, main khud baat kar lunga.... but bebe, I didn't expect this from you all... maine bahut viswas ke saath aap sab ko ye baat btaayi.. mujhe lgaa koi samjhe naa samjhe aap sab samjhenge par nahi main galat tha..."
" Neil aisa nahi hai ki hum tujhe samjh nahi rahe hai...hum..." Bebe try to say something but Neil interrupts her
" No bebe, mujhe ab aap sab se is baare me koi baat nahi karni, sirf 5 saal ka faasla hai bebe joki bahut badi chiz nahi hai.... aap sab meri arrange marriage karwaate to wahaan bhi ye chiz hoti....aap log bas bekar ki zidd kar rahe hai jabki mere aur avni ke rishte me kuch bhi galat nahi hai.
Aur ye jo aap sab baar baar keh rahe hai ki simmi ki shaadi hui hai wahaan....to bebe kya ek ghar me do bhai behno ki shaadi nahi hoti ?
aisa kitno gharo me hota hai par yehaan aap sab sirf bahaane de rahe hai ki Simmi ki shaadi us ghar me hui hai to aap sab mera rishta lekar kaise jaayenge...to theek hai main khud baat kar lunga unse...."
Hearing this, all looks at him in shock, Which Neil is in front of them ? He has never spoken to anyone in this tone, what has happened to him?
" Neil tujhe samjh bhi aa raha hai tu bole kya jaa raha hai....thoda shaant ho jaa.... ye sab baate aaram se bhi ho sakti hai..." Bebe speaks again, hearing which Neil also realizes that his words are right but his way is wrong, he cannot talk to his elders in this tone but at this moment he cannot think of anything else and without saying anything he goes out of there feeling guilty.
Other side
At Mehta house
After breakfast, Raj and Simran get ready to go to Khanna house.
" Mom, Simran ko maa se milne jaana hai to hum wahi jaa rahe hai...."
" OK beta...." Neela says this and then Raj and Simran leave the house to go to Khanna house.
" Accha Avni, mujhe bhi na market jaana hai to main tumhare dad ke saath hi jaa rahi hu aur mujhe aane me der bhi ho jaayegi to tum apna khayal rakhna...." Neela tells avni who is present in the hall.
" OK maa " Avni says this and then hugs Ashish and then she says bye to her parents.
As soon as she is alone at home, she immediately thinks of Neil, has he eaten anything or not...? Thinking this, she calls Neil and on the other side, Neil, who is on his way to his office, sees Avni's call coming, he stops the car on the side and picks up her call and immediately his mood also gets right
" Hello Neil " Avni says when he picks up her call
" ji Neil ki jaan boliye... aapne aaj call karne ki taklif ki...?" He speaks in a happy voice, hearing which Avni smiles but also pouts.
" what do you mean by maine aaj call kiya... Neilu main aapko har roj call karti hu "
" No, wo main hota hu jo har din tumhe call karta hu..."
" Haan to ab Kal shaam se aap mujhe bhul chuke ho.. aaj bhi subah ke baad call nahi kiya aapne... to maine kar liya...." Hearing this, Neil smiles, he did not call for a day and now he does not know how many days he will have to hear this taunt.
" Sorry ab ye galati dubara nahi hogi..."
" Good, honi bhi nahi chahiye...." Neil smiles listening to her
" Waise aap kahan ho.. kya kar rahe ho...?" Avni asks him
" Office jaa raha hu, raaste me hu..." Neil answers
" Hmm, so aapne breakfast kiya ?" Neil hears her question and lies again despite not wanting to.
" Haan.. tumne kiya ?" He says
" Hmm, maine to kar liya... accha aapne kya khaaya aaj ?" Hearing her question, Neil wonders what answer he should give and from his pause she realizes that he is lying because if he had actually eaten something then it would not have taken time to respond but still she does not let him know that she is aware of his behavior of not eating food.
" Waise Neil ye baat chhodiye....mujhe aapse milna hai..." Avni says hearing which Neil smiles
" Bolo kahan aaun ?"
" Ghar par..." Hearing her words Neil smiles
" hmmm, Himmat aapki kuch jyada nahi badh gyi hai madam...? ghar par milne bulaa rahi ho... kisi ne sawal kiya to kya jawab dogi ?" Neil asks
" Jab ghar par koi sawal karne wala hoga to n jawab dene ke baare me sochungi...." Avni answers
" Mtlb ?"
" Mtlb ghar par koi nahi hai... bhai bhabhi aunty se milne gye hai yaani aapke ghar...." Hearing this he thinks something, they both didn't tell him anything about this
" Aur maa papa bhi saath baahar gye hai, main ghar par akeli hu.. please aap milne aao... main bore ho rahi hu..." She says this so that she can feed him something when he comes home, but hearing this, Neil says
" Sorry Avni main nahi aa sakta "
" Par kyon ? Mujhe aapse milna hai.."
" Avni this will not look good... you are alone and if I come and then maa, papa or Raj comes back then it will not look good...hum fir kabhi mil lenge....." Avni smiles after hearing this from him...she was calling him for some other reason but he thought about the situation so deeply that if he goes and meets her at this time, it will not look good, which is right to some extent.
" Neilu kya aap sch me itne shareef ho ?" After listening to his decent thoughts she says this teasingly to him, which makes Neil smile.
" Tumhe kya lagta hai ?" Neil asks
" umm, waise to aap shareef nahi ho par chalo main maan leti hu aap kabhi kabhi sharaafat waali baat kar lete ho...." Hearing her words Neil smiles
" Par Neilu main bore ho rahi hu...mujhe sch me aapse milna hai..." she again says
" To tum koi movie dekh lo.... aur hum shaam me milte hai.... maa aa jaayengi wapas to unhe btaa kar aana...ok ?"
" Par.... Neil understands that this girl is having mood swings again, she will definitely meet him.
" Avni mujhe office me kuch jruri kaam hai... please samjho hum baad me milte hai..."
" Par neilu...
" Avni main phone rakh raha hu...."
" Par... Avni again try to says something but Neil cuts her
" Bye Avni..." He disconnects the call even without wanting to, on which Avni pouts... Her plan to feed him has failed, what should she do now.
Other side
The doorbell rings in the Khanna house, hearing which Bheema opens the door and she smiles seeing Simran Raj there, Simran and Raj greet her to which she smiles.
" Kaisi hai aap bheema didi " Simran asks her and Raj also greets her folding his hand together on which bheema did same
" Main bhadhiya hu aap kaise ho ?
" Main bhi ekdam badhiya..." Simran says this and then both of them come inside.
" Ghar me koi dikh nahi raha, sab kahan hai...." Simran asks
" Sab apne room me hai...aap dono baitho...main sabko btaati hu..." Saying this, Bheema goes to inform Shweta Bebe about their arrival.
On the other side, after getting news from Bheema.. Shweta and Prakash who has not yet gone to office and Bebe all come to the hall and smile seeing them.
" Arre waah what a pleasant surprise my princess has given me...." Prakash says while coming closer to Simran and Simran hugs Prakash.
" Kaise ho aap ? Sirman asks her father on which he separates from her and kisses her forehead
" Ekdam badhiya..." Prakash says touching her chin lovingly
Then Raj touches Prakash's feet and takes his blessings and hugs him, then he touches Bebe's feet and Sirman hugs Bebe...At last both of them come close to Shweta, seeing whom Simran smiles and Simran is about to hug her but Shweta stops her
" Main tujh se baat nahi kar rahi... to Raj beta tum batao kaise ho...?" Raj smiles seeing Shweta's anger towards Simran, He knows that somewhere this anger is fake
" Main badhiya hu maa... aap kaise ho ?" On this question, Shweta answers him that she is also fine
" Accha aao baitho..."
" Jii " Raj says
" Mom aap mujh se nahi miloge, how rude.. main specially aapse milne aayi hu aur aap aate hi Raj ki khaatirdaari me lag gye... aap jis wajah se mujh se naraz ho us me galti Raj ki bhi hai... fir ye bhed-bhao kyon mere saath...?" Simran says seeing her mother only towards her... Raj also knew about Avni Neil and he also did not tell anyone, so why only get angry with her...?
" Don't be jealous Simran, maa acche se jaanti hai kiski galti hai aur kiski nahi, isiliye wo mujh se gussa nahi hai...hai naa maa ?"
" Haan, aur beta tum iski baat par dhayaan mat do... tum baitho " Hearing this, Simran's mouth hangs open.
" Huh, rahiye gussa... main apne dad aur bebe ke saath time spent kar lungi " Saying this she goes closer to Prakash seeing which Prakash side hugs her and Raj smiles seeing her.
Time passes. From morning to afternoon now, neither Neela nor Raj Simran have returned home, and this is not even the time for Ashish: he return from office late in the evening.
Avni is sitting alone at home and is engrossed in the thoughts of Neil...At this moment she is not able to understand anything except that Neil is probably angry with his family because of her which is not right and on top of that, his health may not get spoiled by not eating.
She looks at the clock where it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon
" Pta nahi Neil ne kuch khaaya bhi hai ki nahi....? Subah bhi unhone kuch nahi khaaya aur yehaan aane se bhi mnaa kar rahe hai... kya karu ?" Avni keeps thinking this and then a thought comes to her mind.
" Fir se wo mnaa hi karenge par ek aur baar try karti hu " Thinking this, she calls Neil again
And Neil, who is sitting in his cabin looking at some files, Hearing the ring, he looks at his phone and sees that he is getting a call from Avni, seeing this he smiles and picks up the phone but before he can say anything, he hears Avni's voice who speaks.
" Neil aap busy ho ?" Neither hy nor hello, Avni directly asks this question which makes Neil smile.
" Nahi, bolo kya baat hai " Neil asks her
" Baat darasal ye hai ki mujhe aapse milna hai "
" Maa wapas aa gyin ?" Neil asks her
" No, main abhi bhi ghar par akele hu sirf madhvi Tai hai "
" Oh " Neil simply says
" Kya oh... mujhe aapse milna hai... aur Neilu dekho ab agar aapne mnaa kiya to fir main aapse kabhi nahi milungi "
" Avni tumhe kya ho gya hai...maine kaha n shaam me milenge "
" Aur maine bhi kaha n hum abhi milenge warna fir kabhi nahi " Hearing this from her, he sighs, this girl knows very well how to make him bow before her stubbornness.
" Accha Theek hai, par main ghar par nahi aaunga... tumhe baahar aana hoga..."
" OK no problem, to aap 15 minutes me xyz restaurant me milo mujh se "
" Wahaan kyon?"
" Obviously khaana khaane ke liye...mujhe bhukh lagi hai to maine socha aaj ka lunch main aapke saath karu..."
" Par avni... He doesn't want to go there because if he goes there Avni will force him to eat food which he doesn't want...He has not stopped eating at home just for show, now in reality he will not eat until Shweta says yes.
" Ab kya hua... see Neilu, at home Madhvi tai has prepared only green vegetables for lunch which I do not like at all...And I'm very hungry but I don't want to go to the restaurant alone "
" So you order something at home n baba..." Avni gets angry after hearing this from him.
" Mtlb aap mujh se nahi milna chahte... theek hai mat miliye aur ab mujh se baat bhi mat kariyega, huh mood kharab karna koi aapse sikhe....." Saying this she hangs up the phone without giving him a chance to say anything.
And here Neil keeps regretting, if he is in a bad mood then why is he spoiling Avni's mood...What is her fault in all this, every day he wanted to meet her so she came to meet him, and today she has been saying this since morning, so he is just spoiling her mood.
But what should he do, he is in a really bad mood... At this moment he is not able to understand anything and now this has become a different problem, his most precious person has become angry with him.
To be continued.........
Will Neil be able to pacify his angry bird ? 😈
