It was the nighttime, the moon was shining over the mansion and it peeked itni Avneil’s room where Avni was sitting on the bed and was covered with the duvet. Avni was lost in her thoughts.

Neil came to the room and locked the door. Avni came out of her thoughts and she looked at the door. Avni thought.
Neil came to the bed and Avni looked at him. Neil layed on the bed in a Fowler’s postion. Avni kept her head and hand on Neil’s chest and Neil captured Avni in his arms. Neil caressed Avni’s hair.

Neil: Kya howa? Kya soch rahi ho? Aaj ke incident ke bare main?

Avni nodded and said, hmm.

Avni: Zindagi bhi kitni ajeeb. Kis pal kya ho jaye kuch pata nahi hai. Kuch ghante pehle tak Bharav Singh jail main tha aur ab…

Avni stopped. Neil nodded.

Neil: isi ka naam zindagi hai. Har pal ek naya imtihan. Har din ek nayi kasauti aur achanak ek din sab khatam.

Avni nodded.

Avni: Mama ke time bhi asa hi howa. Hum to sath main time spend karne ghar se nikle the. Mama bilkul theek thi. Bilkul theek. Lekin jan hum wapis aye to…

Avni’s eyes got moist. Neil sighed.

Neil: Neela Maa ke sath jo howa woh ghalat howa. Bohat ghalat. Un ka murder howa. Woh innocent thi lekin Bharav Singh. Bharav Singh ek criminal tha. Usay apne kiye ki saza mili.

Avni thought.

Neil: Jo kuch bhi howa us main ghalti un ki apni thi. Woh apne ghamand, ehankar main itna andha ho gaya tha ke kya sahi hai kya ghalat usay kuch dikhai hi nahi de raha tha.

Avni nodded.

Avni: Sahi kaha. Usay to apne kiya ki saza mili. Lekin Mama ki kya ghalti thi. Unho ne to kabhi kisi ka bura nahi kiya tha. Phir woh kyun chali gai.

Neil sighed.

Neil: Woh ek pure soul thi. Bohat masoom thi. Shayad isi liye God ne unhe apne pass bola liya. Unhe bhi to ache logon ki zarorat hai aur shayad isi liye bhi ke unhe zariya bana kar Ashish Mehta ka parda fash kiya ta ke tum Ashish Mehta ko saza dilwa kar bohat se innocents ko justice dilwa sako aur bohat se innocents ki zindagi barbad hone se bacha sako.

Avni looked at Neil by raising her head. Neil also looked at Avni and nodded. Neil cupped Avni’s face and kissed her forehead. Avni felt a peace and then they looked at each other. Avni again rested her head and adjusted it while closing her eyes. Neil kissed Avni’s hair and sighed.

Some days passed and Neil and the Khanna family were used to visit Avni from time to time. Avni had become a hurdle for the crinimals and powerful people. Avni was performing her duty with honesty and bravery.

One day, the commissioner was sitting in his officer and an envelope was in his hands. He was looking at the envelope and thinking. He heard a knock on the door and he looked at the door. Commissioner sighed.

Commissioner: come in.

The door opened and Avni came inside. Avni saluted the commissioner who nodded and replied to her. Avni noticed the tension at commissioner’s face.

Avni: Sir, aap ne bulaya.

The commissioner looked at the envelope and Avni also saw the envelope. The commissioner passed the envelope to Avni who frowned.

Commissioner: Hmm.

Avni took the envelope and looked at it. Avni looked at the commissioner and then she looked at the envelope. Avni opened the envelope and took out the letter. Avni looked at the commissioner again who was looking down and he was looking sad. Avni opened the letter and she was shocked to see the letter. Avni looked at the commissioner and then she looked at the letter.

Avni: Sir, yeh.

Commissioner: yeh tumhara transfer letter hai.

Avni looked at the commissioner shockingly who was looking at her and then he looked down.

Commissioner: tumhara yahan se transfer kar diya gaya hai. Maine bohat koshish ki is transfer ko rokne ki lekin…

Commissioner shook his head.

Commissioner: tum yahan ke bohat se powerful logon ke raste ka kanta ban gai thi so unho ne tumhe apne raste se hi hata diya.

Avni was shocked.

Commissioner: I am sorry. Maine bohat koshish ki lekin jab meri ek naa chali to maine tumhari transfer tumhare apne city main karwane ki demand ki.

Avni was shocked and she looked at the letter.

Commissioner: Aur thankfully woh ho gaya.

Avni: lekin yeh to teen saal tak possible nahi tha.

The commissioner smiled.

Commissioner: yahan sab possible hai.

Avni was surprised.

Commissioner: Avni, jitni meri pohanch thi maine wahan tak try kiya lekin kuch nahi howa. Mujhse itna hi ban paya ke tumhari transfer tumhare apne city main karwa di. I am sorry.

Avni smiled.

Avni: don’t be, sir. It’s ok. Main isay bhi apni ek achievement hi smajhun gi. Mera samna karne ki, mera muqabala karne ki himmat nahi thi in logon main is liye mujhe hi raste se hata diya.

The commissioner nodded.

Avni: aur yeh to mere liye aur bhi acha hoga. Ab main meri family ke sath reh paungi.

The commissioner smiled.

Commissioner: tumhara to bhala hogaya lekin hum sab bohat miss karenge humari bahadur aur needar police officer ko.

Avni smiled and she thought.

Later, Avni was sitting on the bed and she was talking on the video call.

Neil: what? Transfer.

Avni nodded. The whole Khanna family was present there and they were hearing them. They got worried and Neil made a face.

Neil: Ab kahan aana parega tum se milne.

Avni made a sad face.

Avni: Mumbai.

Neil made a face and looked at away. The Khanna family got alert and they looked at each other.

Neil: lo Mumbai.

The Khanna family looked at Neil surprisingly.

Neil: Ab Mumbai aa…

Neil stopped and Shweta shook her head. Prakash and Bebe made a face. Neil looked at Avni who was trying to control her smile.

Neil: kya? Kya kaha tum ne?

Avni was looking at Neil.

Neil: Mumbai? tum ne Mumbai kaha?

Avni nodded and Neil was surprised.

Neil: Really.

Avni nodded.

Avni: Hmm, commissioner sir ne karwai. Un ne kaha ke maine transfer rukwane ki koshish ki aur jab asa nahi howa to maine Mumbai transfer karne ka kaha.

Neil smiled.

Neil: Yeh to bohat acha hogaya. Kab arahi ho? Main aaun tumhe lene? Main aaj hi ticket book karwata hun.

Avni: Neil, Neil, roko.

Everyone frowned and said, kyun?

Avni: Main kal commissioner sir se baat karun us ke bad batati hun.

Neil: Ab kya baat karni hai?

Avni: Kuch nahi. Ek case ke bare main.

Neil: oh, ok.

Avni: hmm.

Neil nodded and said, ok.

Neil: Dekho transfer rukwane ki koshish mat karna.

Shweta nodded.

Avni: nahi. Don't worry main nahi karungi.

Neil: good.

Avni and others smiled. Neil smiled and he was very happy.

It was the daytime, Avni was standing in the cabin and she got emotional. Avni looked around and sighed. Avni came out from her cabin and looked at the policestation. Avni met her staff and they got emotional. Avni looked at Jay Singh who wiped his tears. Avni smiled and came to him. Avni cleared her throat and Jay Singh looked at her. Jay Singh looked away and wiped his tears.

Avni: Ase ro kar bye kahoge apni Madam Ji ko.

JS: Main bye kahunga hi nahi.

Avni: Kyun?

JS: Bus.

Avni smiled.

Avni: Tumhe to khush hona chahiye. Ab meri dant nahi sunani paregi.

JS: Aap ki dant ki to adat ho gai thi.

Avni smiled.

JS: Is ke bina khana hi hazam nahi hota.

Avni and others smiled.

JS: Itni mushkil se to koi asa aya tha jo yahan ke zalimo ke samne khara hone ki himmat rakhta tha. Humain himmat milti thi aap se. Ab phir se sab kuch waisa hi ho jaye ga.

Avni: kyun waisa hi hoga. Main akeli jaa rahi hun. Aap sab to hain na yahan. Aap sab mil kar us mashal ko jalaye rakhiye ga jo hum sab ne mil kar jalai thi. Usay bujhne mat dijiye ga.

PO: Madam, hum to jalaye rakhen ge lekin agar naya aane wala ACP apni ankhon main paison ki chamak aur seene main rishwat ki aag jala kar aya to humari mashal us ke samne kaise tikke gi.

The commissioner nodded. Avni also remained silent for a moment and then she smiled.

Avni: Hum apne acts ke zimedaar hain kisi aur ke nahi. Koi chahe kuch bhi kare humain wahi karna hai jo sahi hai. Jab hum sahi hain to koi lakh koshish kare humain hara nahi sakta. Humain humare madsad se dur nahi kar sakta.

Everyone smiled.

Avni: Hmm.

The police officers nodded and they smiled. Avni looked at Jay Singh who saluted her. Avni smiled and looked at the police officers. All the officers saluted Avni who smiled. Avni thought.

It was the daytime, the sun was shining over the Khanna mansion where Bebe and Prakash were sitting on the couch and Shweta gave tea to Bebe.

Bebe: Avni se baat hoi? Kab arahi hai woh?

Shweta gave the tea to Prakash.

Shweta: Bebe, kal raat ko baat hoi thi. Keh rahi thi ke kisi case ki waja se abhi kuch din wahan lagenge.

Bebe: sahi.

Bebe sipped.

Prakash: Aaj Avni se baat nahi hoi?

Shweta: Nahi, aaj subha se us ka number nahi lag raha.

Neil came there.

Neil: kya batain ho rahi hain?

Bebe: Avni ki baat ho rahi thi.

Neil frowned.

Bebe: Shweta bata rahi hai ke subha se Avni ka number nahi lag raha. Teri baat hoi us se?

Neil: Ji, Bebe, subha meri baat hoi thi. Keh rahi thi aaj commissioner sir ke sath kuch important meeting hai. Kuch important cases hain un ki files handover karni thi.

Bebe: Acha.

Neil: Ji. Keh rahi thi jab free hogi to khud hi call karegi.
Person: Call karne ki kya zarorat hai jab main khud hi agai hun.

Neil turned his face and he was surprised to see Avni. Avni smiled. The Khanna family was surprised. Bebe and Prakash kept the cups on the table and got up.

Neil whispered: Avni.

Avni: Surprise.

Avni was smiling. Neil was just looking at Avni. Neil ran to Avni and stopped in front of Avni. Avni was smiling and their eyes got moist to see each other. Neil captured Avni in a bone crush hug. Avni hugged Neil. The Khanna family smiled to see them. Neil kissed Avni’s cheek who smiled. Avneil got emotional. Neil broke the hug and cupped Avni’s face while caressing her hair. They smiled and then Neil again hugged Avni. Avni smiled and she looked at the Khanna family. Avni felt awkward.

Avni: Neil, sab yahi hain.

Neil: I don’t care. Main meri wife ko hug kar ke khara hun.

Avni smiled.

Bebe: Bhai, ab chor bhi de. Ab kahin nahi jane wali teri woti. Humain bhi milne de Avni se. humain bhi milna hai.

Avneil smiled and Avni blushed. Avneil broke the hug and looked at Avni. The Khanna family moved. Avni also moved to them. Neil held the bag’s handle and looked at Avni. Avni met the Khanna family.

Bebe: tu achanak kaise agai? Aaj to teri meeting thi.

Avni smiled. Neil nodded.

Avni: Bus main agai.

The Khanna family frowned including Neil.

Avni: Koi meeting nahi thi. Maine jhot bola tha.

Neil: what?

Neil came to the family. Avni nodded.

Avni: Yes.

Neil: lekin kyun?

Avni: Surprise… main sab ko surprise dena chahti thi.

Neil made a face and Avni smiled. The Khanna family smiled.

Avni entered the room and Neil was behind her. Avni looked at the room and her eyes got moist. Avni sighed.

Avni: I missed this room so much.

Neil smiled.

Neil: And me? Mujhe miss nahi kiya?

Avni looked at Neil who smiled. Avni surpressed her lips and shook her head.

Avni: nope.

Neil was surprised.

Avni: Sorry.

Neil was looking at Avni surprisingly. Avni smiled and she cupped Neil’s face.

Avni: Yaad to unhe karte hain na jinhe hum bhul jate hain. Tum to har pal mere sath the..

Neil smiled and Avni smiled to see him. Neil hugged Avni who also hugged him. Neil sighed.

Neil: kitna time tum se dur raha hun. Sirf main janta hun ke kaise woh din beetaye hain maine.

Avni: Mere liye bhi asan nahi tha, Neil.

Neil sighed and nodded.

Neil: I know.

Avni smiled and Neil caressed Avni’s hair. They smiled.

Avni came to the kitchen.

Avni: Main kuch help karun?

Shweta: Bilkul nahi. Kisi cheeze ko bhi hath mat lagana.

Avni: Lekin?

Shweta: Maine kaha na.

Avni made a face and then she smiled. Shweta prepared the dinner and Avni tried to help her but Shweta snatched the basket of vegetables and other things from Avni. Avni insisted but Shweta refused Avni. Anvi smiled.

Everyone gathered for the dinner.

Bebe: Aaj bohat time bad sab sath main bethe hain dinning table per.

Avni smiled.

Prakash: sahi kaha, Bebe.

Avneil smiled and looked at each other.

The Khanna family had the dinner.

Later, Avni was standing in the balcony while holding the railing and she was looking at the sky.

Avni: Maa, aaj main mere parivaar ke pass wapis agai hun. Bohat acha lag raha hai. Kami hai to bus aap ki. Kitna acha hota agar aaj aap bhi mere sath hoti. Mera parivaar pura hota hai aaj.

Avni looked at the sky with moist eyes. Neil came there and he saw Avni looking at the sky. Neil looked at the sky and he understood that Avni is missing Neela Maa. Neil thought. Neil came to Avni and hugged her from behind. Avni flinched at first and then she smiled. Neil looked at Avni and then they looked at the sky.

Neil: Kya kar rahi ho? Neela Maa se batain?

Avni nodded.

Avni: Hmm, batain to sirf main karti hun. Apne dil ka haal keh kar apne dil ka bojh halka kar leti hun. Maa to bus sunti rehti hain.

Neil: sab theek hai? koi problem hai kya?

Avni shook her head.

Avni: Nahi. Koi problem nahi hai. Bus soch rahi thi ke agar aaj Maa hoti to mera parivaar bhi pura hota.

Neil nodded.

Neil: Hmm. Neela Maa ki kami to hamesha rahegi un ki jaga koi nahi le sakta.

Avni nodded.

Avni: Hmm, bohat se criminals ko un ke anjam tak pohanch liya ab Ashish Mehta ki bari hai.

Neil looked at Avni.

Avni: ab un ke papon ka ghara bhar chukka hai. Ab un ke anjam ka time achuka hai. Ab unhe saza milegi apne papon ki.

Neil: Asa hi hoga.

Avni looked angry and she nodded. Neil tighten the hug to console Avni. Neil kissed Avni’s cheek and they sighed.

It was the time of the morning, the sun raised and it peeked into Avneil’s room where Avneil were sleeping while cuddling each other. Neil’s leg was on Avni’s leg and Avni was in Neil’s arm. Avni’s sleep got disturbed and she stirred. Avni rubbed her palm on her eyes and Avni sighed. Avni opened her eyes and she saw Neil. Avni smiled to see Neil and she cupped Neil’s face.

Avni: My cute Neilu.

Avni smiled and kissed Neil’s forehead and cheek. Avni rested her head on the pillow and adored Neil.

Soon, Neil’s sleep also got disturbed and he stirred. Avni smiled. Neil saw Avni and he frowned and then Neil smiled to see Avni.

Avni: Good morning.

Neil smiled.

Neil: Good morning.

Neil sighed and adjusted his head on the pillow.

Neil: Kya dekh rahi ho?

Avni: kuch nahi. Bus ase hi apne pati ko dekh rahi hun.

Neil smiled.

Neil: sirf dekhti hi rahogi yaa kuch karogi bhi?

Avni frowned.

Neil: Subha subha agar ek kiss mil jati to din ban jata.

Avni smiled. Neil sighed what say. Avni smiled. Neil leaned to Avni and kept his hand on Avni;s waist. Neil was about to kiss Avni who closed her eyes. The door knocked and they looked at the door. Neil made a crying face and Avni smiled. Avni tried to get up.

Neil: Avni, yaar.

Avni looked at Neil.

Avni: Neil, choro mujhe jane do.

Shweta called them. Neil made a crying face.

Neil: Aray yaar, Mom ko bhi abhi hi aana tha.

Avni: Neil.

Avni took away Neil’s hand and Neil took away his leg. Avni smiled and she got up. Avni went to the door and opened it. Avni wished Shweta morning who also wished her. Shweta looked at Neil whose eyes were closed.

Shweta: Tillu abhi tak so raha hai?

Avni turned and saw Neil’s closed eyes. Avni smiled and looked at Shweta.

Avni: Ji, main bhi bus abhi uthi hun.

Shweta smiled.

Shweta: Acha theek hai. Tu Tillu ko utha de aur khud bhi fresh ho jaya phir police station bhi jana hai na.

Avni nodded and said, ji, Mummy Ji.

Shweta smiled and went.  Avni turned and saw Neil. Avni smiled and she came forward.

Avni: Ab jaldi se utho aur fresh ho jao. Office nahi jana kya.

Neil’s eyes were closed.

Neil: tum pehle fresh ho tab tak main thori dair so leta hun.

Avni smiled and shook her head. Avni went to the cupboard. Neil saw Avni and then he closed his eyes again. Neil slept.

Avni joined her duty and she heard a man and asked him to follow Ashish Mehta though Avni had proofs against Ashish Mehta but she wanted to catch him red handed. Neil was also working hard to take Khanna Industries to the top.

It was the night time, the venue was decorated and people were sitting on the chairs. Neil got best businessman of the year award. Avni and the Khanna family was also present there. Avni felt proud of Neil and she clapped for him. Neil came to the Khanna family and he showed his award to Prakash who got emotional and took the award. Prakash caressed it. Neil bent to take Prakash’s blessing. Prakash looked at Neil and gave him blessings. Prakash hugged Neil.

Prakash: congratulations. I am so proud of you, my Son. so proud of you.

Avni, Shweta and Bebe got emotional. They broke the hug and Prakash kissed Neil’s forehead and sighed. Neil’s eyes were moist. Neil took blessings from Shweta and Bebe. Neil turned to Avni and hugged her. Bebe and Shweta saw the award.

Avni whispered: Congratulations. I am proud of you,

Neil smiled and Avni looked at the family. They were busy. Avni kissed Neil’s cheek who was surprised. Avni moved away and Neil touched his cheek and looked at Avni who winked. Neil was surprised and Avni blushed to see Neil’s expressions. Neil bit his lips and he blushed. Neil looked down and then he looked here and there. Avni took the tissue and passed to Neil. Neil frowned and Avni signed him to clean the lipstick mark. Avni felt shy and odd. Neil smiled and he blushed. Neil took the tissue and wiped his cheek.

The Khanna family looked at Avneil and Neil smiled awkwardly.

Neil: gar… garmi. Garmi bohat hai.

Bebe: Garmi? Humain to nahi lag rahi.

Shweta: Han.

Bebe: shayad jeetne ki khushi main zyada josh charh gaya hai.

They smiled. They clicked their pictures and their pictures were also clicked by the cameraman.

Later, Neil kept his award in his room and Avni was present there. Neil sighed and moved a step back. Avneil looked at each other and smiled.

Avni: congratulations. Akhir tum jo chahte the tum ne hasil kar liya.

Neil sighed and nodded.

Neil: abhi to sirf ek goal achieve kiya hai. Manzil abhi baki hai.

Avni smiled. Neil turned to Avni who also turned to him. Neil took Avni’s hand into his hands. Avni looked at the hands and then she looked at Neil.

Neil: Thank you. Thank you meri life main aane ke liye.

Avni smiled.

Neil: Thank you, meri life ko track per lane ke liye. Agar tum meri life main nahi aati to shayad main kabhi apni responsibilities ko smajh nahi pata. Responsibilities kya hoti hain yeh to mujhe malum hi nahi tha. Main to bus apni life main ghum tha. Tum ne mujhe sikhaya ke humari life sirf humari nahi hai, humare apne hum se jure hain. Humari un ki taraf bhi kuch zimedariyan hain. Mujhe na to apne future ki koi parwah thi aur na hi present ka koi hosh tha. Tum ne, tumhare pyaar ne mujhe zimedar hona sikhaya. Tumhari nazron main ko khud sabit karne ke liye, khud ko tumhare kabil banana ke liye maine mehnat ki.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: tumhe khud per proud feel karwane ke liye mehnat ki. Neil, I am proud of you, yeh lafz sunane ke liye maine mehnat ki.

Avni was surprised.

Neil:  Aaj main jis maukam per pohancha hun woh sirf tumhari waja se, tumhare pyaar ki waja se hun.  Sirf tumahri waja se. thank you so much, Avni. Thank you so much for everything. Thank you.

Avni cupped Neil’s face.

Avni: Neil, tum aaj jis maukam per bhi ho woh apni mehnat ki waja se ho. Maine kuch bhi nahi kiya.

Neil shook his head and he was about to say.

Avni: Agar tum ne hardwork meri waja se kiya. Mujhe proud feel karwane ke liye apni studies per focus kiya. Apni life ko track per laye to mujhe khushi hoi yeh jaan kar ke main tumhari inspiration ban payi. Meri waja se tumhari life track per ayi.

Neil smiled.

Avni: tum ne apni aur meri hum dono ki zindagi sawar di. Thank you.

Neil smiled and hugged Avni.

Neil: I love you, Avni.

Avni: I love you too, Neil.

They smiled and they got emotional. They sighed and smiled.

Some days passed and Avneil was a happy married couple.

It was the time of the night. Ashish Mehta came to an isolated place while looking here and there. Someone was standing there in a hoody and its face was covered with the cape. Ashish saw the person and he came to the person while looking here and there. Ashish came to the person. The person forwarded its hand.

Ashish: Pehle paise.

The person signed him to give the packet. Ashish took out the packets and showed them to the person.

Ashish: Pehle paise.

Ashish looked at the person who was standing in front of him. The person didn’t say anything.
