It was daytime the birds were hovering in the sky and Avni and Aditya were sitting on the bed. Aditya was shockingly looking at Avni who was looking at him innocently.

Aditya: Avni, do you even have an idea what you are saying?

Avni was looking at Aditya.

Aditya: We go back to home. Home? Rathore mansion? Have you forgotten what happened there? What did Grandma do with you?

Avni: I didn’t forget anything but I want to forget that night.

Aditya: will you be able to?

Avni was speechless. She was looking at Aditya who was waiting for her reply.

Avni: They are our family.

Aditya: This is not the answer to my question.

Avni looked on.

Aditya: Grandma humiliated you.

Avni: So what? She is our elder. She reacted to what she heard.

Aditya: Still she didn’t have the right to say those things to you. How can she give you names?

Avni: It was her love for you.

Aditya looked away.

Avni: She is our elder. What is in it if she said something in anger? Aditya, they are our family. Till when we will live away from there. Soon, our baby will come into this world. Why would our child be deprived of the love of his grandparents when it has its grandparents? It has its uncle.

Aditya: Avni, I understand but…

Avni: Aditya, everything is fine now. Our family is waiting for us. Let’s go to our family, our city. Our parents are there. Our happiness is there.

Aditya: Grandma is also there.

Avni looked on.

Aditya: Can you forgive her for what she did?

Avni: I can try. Maybe, I will never forget that night but I will try not to let it affect our lives, our home.

Aditya looked away. Aditya talked while looking at the ground.

Aditya: Avni, if you want to go back then I will take you back to our city but I will never bring you back to that home from where you were kicked out.

Avni got sad. Aditya was still looking at the ground.

Aditya: After your delivery, we will go back. We will live in our apartment. But you will not go to that home.

Aditya looked at Avni. Avni was about to say.

Aditya: And that’s final.

Avni was looking at Aditya who looked at her. Aditya lowered his gaze and then he looked at Avni. Aditya got up. Aditya was going.

Avni: Aditya, you also did wrong that night if you get forgiveness then why not Grandma?

Aditya was shocked and turned to Avni. They were looking at each other. Aditya looked down and then he looked at Avni who was looking at her. Aditya turned and started going from there. Avni was looking at Aditya. Avni realized what she said. Avni felt guilty. Aditya went from there.

Avni: I shouldn’t have said that to him… tch, Avni, what did you do?

Avni felt bad and looked at the door.

Later, Avni was lying on the bed in Fowler’s position and was reading a book. Aditya came there carrying two plates and a knife. Fruits were kept in one plate. Avni saw Aditya who smiled to see her and Avni also smiled. Aditya came and sat on the bed.

Aditya: Fruit’s time.

Avni smiled and removed her glasses. Avni kept her book and glasses on the side table. Avni looked at Aditya who started cutting fruits. Avni looked at the fruits and then she looked at Aditya.

Avni: Adi?

Aditya looked at her and found her sad. Aditya understood. Aditya focused on his work.

Avni: Are you still angry with me?

Aditya shook his head while cutting an apple and said, no.

Avni: No?

Aditya sighed and passed a piece to Avni.

Aditya: No.

Aditya fed Avni. Avni had a bit and held the piece in her hand. Avni looked at Aditya while chewing food.

Avni: I am sorry.

Aditya: Avniii… I am not angry with you.

Avni smiled and said: Really? You are saying the truth?

Aditya made a face and Avni made a sad and innocent face. Aditya chuckled.

Aditya said while pulling Avni’s cheek: Oh my cute wife, I am not angry with you. Relax.

Avni smiled.

Avni: Thank you.

Aditya smiled and again he fed a piece to Avni and Avni had a bit and held the piece in her hand. Avni ate the remaining piece.

Aditya said while passing the bit: I am not angry with you but.

Aditya said while feeding Avni: I still stand by my word. We will not go back home.

Avni looked at Aditya sadly while chewing the apple.

Aditya: And no more arguments on it.

Avni got sad. Aditya fed her and Avni also picked up a piece and fed Aditya. Aditya smiled to see Avni who also passed a smile to him and ate. Avni thought.

It was the time of the night, Avni and Aditya were lying on the bed and were awake. Avni was thinking about how to make Aditya agree and Aditya was thinking about Avni’s words.

Flashback:

Avni: Aditya, you also did wrong that night if you get forgiveness then why not Grandma?

Flashback ended.

Aditya was lost in his thoughts.

Aditya in mind: Avni has forgiven me but she will never forget all that. She can’t forget that. Not only she, I will also not forgive myself for that and can never forget that.

Aditya thought. Avni was also thinking about how to make Aditya agree to go back.

It was the time of the morning, Avni was laying on the bed in a Fowler’s position and was thinking for an idea. Aditya entered and he saw Avni who was lost in her thoughts. Aditya was surprised to see Avni. Aditya thought and then he looked at Avni.

Aditya in mind: Now what is cooking in her mind?

Avni saw him and smiled. Aditya was surprised to see that and now he was sure that something is cooking in Avni’s mind. Aditya looked at the dressing table and he went there. Avni made a grumpy face

Avni: Baby, did you see?

Aditya stopped and saw Avni in the mirror.

Avni: What not the husbands of others do for their wives and one is your Papa who is not even fulfilling a small wish of your mama.

Avni looked at Aditya who sighed and shook his head. Aditya resumed his work.

Avni: ab, if we will go back home then you will also get the love of Grandparents. Our families are there. You will be brought up in the shadow of elders. You will get their blessings.

Aditya thought.

Avni: How good it will be when we all live together.

Aditya looked at Avni who got lost. Aditya thought. Avni came back to reality and looked up. Avni looked at Aditya who kept the hairbrush on the dressing table and stood properly. Aditya turned to Avni.

Aditya: Dreaming is good but daydreaming is wrong. You, I, and our Baby are enough for each other. A cute little family. A happy and perfect family. Our families will come to meet us and they can shower their love on us and our baby by visiting us, we don’t need to go there.

Avni: Adi…

Aditya cut him.

Aditya: No chance, Avni. No chance. Grandma is guilty but she has not changed. You know what she said when I was coming here. She asked me that our…

Aditya stopped and Avni was looking at him. Aditya looked away and sighed.

Avni: What she said?

Aditya looked at Avni and he came to Avni. Aditya sat and cupped Avni’s face with one hand.

Aditya: Avni, leave this all and think about our baby. You are fine now so don’t take stress unnecessarily. Avni, just enjoy this phase and order me whatever you want. I am craving to see your craving for things. I have already wasted a lot of time now I don't want to waste a second. Now I want to enjoy this phase.

Avni was looking at Aditya with teary eyes and was smiling.

Aditya:  Please let’s just forget other things.

Avni: Then what are you waiting for? Go and bring the halwa puri for me.

Aditya smiled.

Aditya: Anything else?

Avni: No. go fast. I can’t wait anymore. I want it now.

Aditya was smiling.

Aditya: I am going now.

Aditya got up and grabbed his keys from the side table and then he went. Avni smiled and thought.

Aditya came back and fed Avni with his hands and Avni also fed him. They smiled. Aditya knew that Avni would not listen and would try again.

Later, Avni was sleeping on the bed and Aditya was sitting on the couch. Aditya was lost in thoughts.

Aditya: Avni is right at her place. When we have family then why would we live separately from them? They also have the right on their grandchild and when we have a family then why would our child be deprived of their love… but Grandma…

Aditya thought.

It was the time of the night, the moon was shining in the sky and it peeked into Avni and Aditya’s room where Avni and Aditya were laying on the bed and both were well awake. Avni turned her face and she faced Aditya’s back. Avni thought.

Avni: Adi.

Aditya understood that she is trying to butter him. Aditya smiled.

Avni: Adi, please na.

Aditya was smiling and then he made a normal face and turned to Avni.
Aditya: What happened? What do you want?

Avni: My home.

Aditya sighed.

Aditya: We will go once our baby will come into this world.

Avni’s face lit up.

Aditya: We will go to our apartment. Our apartment is enough for you, me, and our baby.

Avni: Our apartment is quite big but I want to go to our home “Rathore mansion”.

Aditya sighed.

Aditya: OK. OK. OK….

Avni was happy.

Aditya: happy now…

Avni nodded while smiling and Aditya smiled to see her. Avni spread her arms and was laying on the bed. Aditya smiled to see her. Aditya moved to Avni and hugged her carefully with one hand. Aditya kissed Avni’s cheek while hugging her. They broke the hug but still were in the same position. Avni cupped Aditya’s face and kissed his forehead, cheeks, and nose.

Avni: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Avni again kissed Aditya’s cheeks. Aditya was smiling. They looked at each other and Aditya caressed Avni’s hair.

Aditya: I know, you are doing this for me. It is not easy for you to go back there but you are going back for me so that I live with my family.

Avni lowered her gaze and Aditya kissed her forehead. Avni smiled and looked at Aditya.

Aditya: Thank you so much love for thinking about me.

Avni cupped Aditya’s face.
Avni: I am your wife if I will not think about you then who will think and for whom I will think, hmm.

The baby kicked Avni and Avni winced. Aditya was surprised and then they looked at each other and chuckled.

Aditya: For this naughty.

They chuckled and Avni kept her hand on her womb and Aditya kept his hand on Avni’s hand.

Avni and Aditya: We also think about you.

Avni: Don’t worry.

Avni and Aditya: We love you.

They looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, Aditya was sitting in the living area and working on the laptop. Avni came to him and sat beside him. Aditya saw Avni and smiled and then he resumed his work. Avni thought and looked at Aditya who saved the file and then he shut the laptop.

Aditya: Hmm.

Aditya turned to Avni.

Aditya: What happened? Say what you want, my love?

Avni: ab why you stopped your work. I just came. I was feeling bored in the room. Bhai and Bhabhi are also not at home so I thought to come here.

Aditya: You were sleeping so I thought not to disturb you that's why I came here.

Avni: You continue your work.

Aditya: Later. You say what do you want? Are you craving for something?

Avni nodded. Aditya cupped Avni’s face.

Aditya: What do you want, my love?

Avni: I want my home back. I am craving to go there.

Aditya: We will go. I said, yes.

Avni: When will we go home?

Aditya: After your delivery.

Avni: I and Baby are fine. We can travel.

Aditya: I can’t take any risk.

Avni: There is no risk.

Aditya was looking at Avni and sighed. Avni got emotional.

Avni: Aditya, soon my seventh month will be completed and my baby shower hasn’t been done yet.

Aditya was surprised and felt bad.

Avni: Will our baby not get the blessings of the elders?

Avni sobbed and Aditya got emotional. Aditya hugged Avni.

Aditya: No, my love, our baby will surely get the blessings of the elders. We will celebrate your baby shower.

Aditya broke the hug and cupped Avni’s face who was crying.

Aditya: And it will be a grand one.

Avni smiled while crying.

Avni: This means we are going.

Aditya got puzzled.

Aditya: ab…

Avni wiped her tears and sniffed.

Avni: If the doctor says that I am fine and I can travel then we will go, right?

Aditya thought.

Aditya: OK. If the doctor says that you are fine and can travel then we will go.

Avni got happy and her eyes were teary. Avni hugged Aditya.

Avni: Thank you and I love you.

Aditya smiled.

Aditya: I love you too.

They smiled.

It was the time of the night, Aman and Aarti were standing in their room.

Aman: I don’t want Avni to go there.

Aarti was looking at Aman.

Aman: I have forgiven Aditya but Ambika Grandma…. She crossed all limits that day. I don’t want Avni to live in that home.

Aarti: I understand your condition but what can we do? If we stop Avni then she would take stress and stress is not good for her. You know what the doctor said that day.

Aman nodded.

Aman: I know but still… Aditya shouldn’t have say yes to her.

Aarti: he tried a lot. He clearly refused Avni but Avni didn’t listen.

Aman thought.

Aman: what do you think, should I talk to Avni?

Aarti: Let her go. She wants her baby shower. She will be happier there.

Aman: But Ambika Grandma.

Aarti: Don’t worry, Aditya is there. He will not let anything happen like that, this time. He will manage and on top of that Gaurav uncle is also there. We all can trust him blindly.

Aman nodded.

Aman: Hmm, that's true.

Aarti: Don’t worry now everything will be fine.

Aman sighed and said, I hope so.

Aman thought.

The next day, Aditya was packing the bag and Avni took a kurti to fold. Aditya snatched that from her. Aditya glared at Avni who made an innocent face.

Aditya: Why can’t you sit peacefully? I am doing it. You just sit quietly and have your fruit.

Avni made a sad face and she took an apple piece and ate it. Aditya smiled.
They heard the knock on the door and saw Aman and Aarti and Aarti was carrying some packets in her hands. They came forward.

Aman: So, the packing is done?

Aditya: I am doing it but this child is not sitting peacefully.

Avni made a sad pout and others smiled to see her and looked at each other.

Aarti: Why didn’t you call me for help? I asked you, Avni.

Avni: I asked Aditya but he said, he would manage.

Aman: ab, these are some gifts for you both and baby.

Aditya: What was the need for it?

Aman: It was needed. It is our love.

Aditya smiled and Aarti kept the shopping bags on the bed. Aarti helped Aditya in packing and Aman fed Avni soup with his hands. Aarti and Aditya smiled to see them and then they looked at each other. Soon the packing was done and Aditya sighed.

Aditya: Finally.

They smiled. Aman got up and he came to Aditya. Avni understood that Aman wants to say something. Aditya looked at Aman.

Aman: Aditya. It is true that we have forgiven you but still, I didn’t want Avni to be back there, especially the Rathore mansion.

Aditya looked down and Avni looked at him.

Aman: And you know the reason better than me but it is Avni’s wish to go there so I will not refuse her. She can go.

Avni smiled and Aditya looked at Avni.

Aman: You have proven that you are guilty but still I want to clear you that it was your last chance. It was your first and last mistake if in future you hurt my sister then I will not leave you.

Avni looked at Aditya who smiled.

Aditya: Trust me, Bhai, I have already taken a Vow that no matter what happens, I will never leave Avni’s side. Now I will never doubt her.

Aman nodded.

Aman: I hope you will stand to your word.

Aditya: I will. I promise.

Aman smiled and moved to hug Aditya and they hugged. Avni and Aarti smiled with moist eyes. Avni was happy. Aman and Aditya broke the hug and looked at Avni.

Aman: So you are going back. Happy now?

Avni nodded.

Avni: I am super happy and excited too. I can’t wait now.

Everyone smiled to see Avni’s happiness who thought and was smiling. Aman came to Avni and kept his hand on Avni's head. Avni smiled to see him. Everyone was looking happy.
