Avni realised she should not have said that....she knows aarya is fine and it was nothing big to worry about...she unnecessarily shouted at neil....and for that avni felt really bad ...

She then looked at aarya and smiled....aarya has slept already. She carressed her hairs and kissed her forehead. She covered her with the blanket and left the room...after checking on her before leaving...

She then came out of the room and looked for neil....he was not there inside the house. She then went outside to look for him in the garden.

There she found him.....neil was sitting there at the bench...

Avni looked at him, she went there and sat next to him....

Neil was looking down and in another direction, he was trying to hide his tears and emotions....avni felt bad...she looked at him but he didnt looked at her. He avoided looking at her.....

Avni closed her eyes for a second and then she looked down and said......

Avni : Aarya 6 mahine ki thi...uss din vo bohot ro rahi thi....usne subah se kuch nhi khaya tha....i tried feeding her many times, but she was not having her feed....and was constantly crying....
Uss din main bohot darr gyi thi...maine bohot koshish ki use chup krane ki....par vo chup hi nhi ho rhi rhi.....mujhe samajh nhi ki main kya kru....or fir achanak, she started breathing heavily....her pulse was deteriorating.....and I got very scared.....i immediately rushed her to the hospital....

Neil finally looked at her when she start telling him about a past experience with aarya..

He looked at her and listened.

Avni then looked at him with teary eyes and said....

Avni : Aarya has an acute immune deficiency neil....her immune system is very weak.....she is more vulnerable to the outside infections....and germs.

neil looked at her having numb expressions on his face...

Avni continued.....

Avni : she got stable....par doctor ne kaha ki aarya ko extra care ki zarurat hai....she needs someone 24*7....Usse kabhi akela nhi chodd sakte....Usse har germ se....har infection se bachake rkhna haiii...

6 mahine ki thi vo neil....or tab se lekar ab tab maine uski har choti se choti cheez ka dhyan rkhaa hai.....hmesha uske aas paas sab clean rkhna, uski diet ka dhyan rkhna... usko junk food se dur rkhna....i have always being very over protective about her.....

Usse zara si chot bhi aati hai toh main...main khabra jaati hu neil....main bohot darr jaati hu...

she said having tear filled in her eyes...she then looked at neil and said....

Avni (crying) : Neil...i....i am sorry maine tumhe gusse me jo bhi kaha...i...i didn't mean that....i didnt mean that...
It was not your fault....it was my hyper-reaction...main hmesha aisi hi khabra jaati hu...or main..main darr gyi thi....or...

neil got really emotional hearing all this about aarya, and realising how avni must have gone through all this alone...!

he got tears in his eyes...avni was also crying in front of him.....he couldn't control himself at the moment and he immediately took her into a hug. He placed his arms around her and hugged her out...

Avni also got flowed with emotions and held his shirt tightly between her fingers....as she also needed this.

Neil squeezed his eyes in emotions while holding her tightly.

They didn't said anything, they were just sharing the emotions, the pain along was each otherr.....For a moment, avni also forget everything and felt solace in his arms....!

Avni was feeling very sorry for shouting at neil like that, despite knowing that he can never hurt his daughter....While neil was helding himself responsible for her condition.....

After hearing the reason behind her over protectiveness, neil just got emotional and felt guitly. He felt guilty of not being there with avni, he felt guilty of not beinh there for aarya...he felt himself responsible for everything.

...........

After few minutes , avni got back in her senses, she realised and then she slowly loosened her grip on his shirt.

Neil opened his eyes feeling her hands moving, and he slowly broke the hug with her...

They start stealing eyes with each other, and tried avoiding eye contact.

Neil looked here and there to avoid the awkwardness, while avni calmed herself down and wiped her face while looking down....

Neil : Avni...main..main ab chalta hun..bohot raat ho gyi hai....and tum bhi thak gayi hongi..... he said in order to divert the topic....

Avni nodded in silence...

Neil got up and avni also got up....

Neil : Aarya ka khyal rkhna....or...or kuch bhi zarurat ho to please mujhe call krna.... he said looking at her being converned about aarya.

Avni looked at him and nodded...

Neil : Can....can i see her before leaving ? he asked wanting to see his daughter...and avni looked at him and nodded...

They then went inside, Neil sat next to aarya and carressed her forehead....neil smiled looking at her as she was sleeping so peacefully....He placed a kiss on her forehead.

After sometimes, he decided to leave finally...avni came outside with him to the door.

He bid her goodbye, and turned back to leave...

He had only went a few steps away when he turned around and asked...

Neil : Avni.....

avni who was about to close the door behind, stopped and looked at him...

neil asked hesitantly....

Neil : Tum....tum thik ho na...? he asked as he was feeling really concerned about her.

avni smiled and replied...

Avni : Haan neil....main thik hu...and.... thank you. she said to which neil smiled....after which neil finally left.

............

The day was filled with lots of emotions...for both neil and avni.

At first, neil felt joyful meeting his daughter, he felt happy while playing with her...and was happy to see that smile on her face.....
Later, it was the huge realisation that hit him hard, knowing how avni has upbringed their daughter with so much difficulty and pain. She has always protected their daughter, and taken good care of her.

He realised how protective she is about aarya,....and how she always get scared about her.

And all these realisation has made his determination even more stronger....

He outhed to himself , that soon he will bring back all the lost happiness in their lives.....He will give them all their rights...and all what they deserve.
He pledged that he will fill their life with all the happiness....and snatch away all the pain, from their lives.....!
