The next day, Bebe, Shweta and Prakash came as well.

Avni: Waise Bebe, how come you guys came later??

Bebe: Woh Balbir invited me for tea, she said blushing a little.

Neil: Not bad Bebe, blushing and all.

Bebe: Tu chup kar! He invited me as friends and Prakash and Shweta joined me.

Shweta: The whole time he was looking at our dear bebe.

Bebe: Stop talking nonsense

Prakash: But on a serious note Bebe, I haven't seen anyone look at you like he did since dad's death. Only dad would look at you like this.

Bebe nodded her head: Anyway, are you guys enjoying the vacation

The youngster gang: Ji Bebe.

Bebe: That's good because we have one whole week to spend together as a family.

They then spent the following week, shopping and going to places like the zoo, the mall and Uluru. 

At Uluru, Avni was amazed at looking at the rocks on how high they were and the colour of it. She felt two hands wrap around her. 

Avni: Neil, look this is so pretty.

Neil: I agree but Avni how did you know it was me, wrapping my arms around you.

Avni turned around and put her hand on his neck: That's because my super cop Tillu will never let anyone wrap their arms around me like you do.

Neil: Woh toh hai

They chuckled while embracing the view. It was their last day in Australia and Avni did feel glad for going on the trip. It made her forget almost everything that happened in the last ten years except for one thing. That one thing that will continuously haunt her as much as she tries to forget.  She shook her head, trying to get rid of the past. Neil saw that she was worried.

Neil: Are you ok?

Avni: Yeah, I'm just a little tired.

Neil wasn't convinced but got rid of the feeling: Ok, lets go back home then. We have a early flight tomorrow morning.

Avni nodded and they headed back, finishing the packing and heading to sleep. The next day, the whole Khanna clan flew back to India and when they reached there, they insisted that Aman, Ali, Riya and Aliya stay with them. They agreed as they it was too late to go home. (A/N, Ali, Riya, Aliya are staying at Neela Maa old house for the time being while Aman is staying at the Khanna house. ).

Meanwhile at another place.

Man 1: Sir, Avni has reached india!

Man 2: Perfect, now my darling will be with me a few days. 

Man 1: But sir, why would she go to you? She loves Neil.

Man 2: Shut up! My Avni is only mine and will only be mine. No one can take her away from me, not even Neil Khanna.

The next morning, at the Khanna house.

Ali: Bebe thank you for letting us stay at your house but we will soon leave to head home

Avni: Where are you staying?

Ali: Neela Maa old house

Avni eyes teared up at this: Maa old house?

Riya puts her hand on top of Avni: Babes, we know how special it is for you which is why Ali decided to purchase it. We sometimes need it when I have to come to india for my business trips and Ali for his restaurants.

Avni: Ali, you still own chamko cafe?

Ali: No, I sold that business after your death but I handled a restaurant in Delhi that is owned by a restauranteur who owns restaurants all over the world. He sometimes ask me to visit India.

Avni: I'm sorry Ali, because of me you left our childhood dream. Because of me, Neil left his job.

Ali: Areh, don't think about the past

Neil: Ali is right, let's focus on the future. 

Avni nodded but still had a feeling of guilt inside of her. She knew that everyone lost a lot of things because of her but she decided that she wanted everyone to gain those stuff.  

Avni: Neil, I have a question that I wanted to ask you in front of the family

Neil cupped her face: Ask me Avni

Avni: Neil, will you join the police force again?

Neil stood shocked for a moment while everyone exchanged looks.

Shweta: Avni beta, what are you saying? You want Neil to join the police force again? But why?

Avni: Mummyji, joining the police force was Neil's dream and he is an honest officer. I want him to feel happy and feel the urge to help again. I know he will truly be at peace when he is a officer

Shweta eyes teared at this. She went to Avni and gave her a kiss on the forehead: Beta, I'm proud of you.

Avni: Thank you mummyji. Neil so you will you do it?

Neil: No

Avni: But why?

Neil: I said no and thats it.

Avni knew her husband was stubborn but she was stubborn too: Neil you will have to tell me why.

Neil just left the table in anger while Avni followed him.

Bebe: I just hope everything goes fine

Shweta: Me too Bebe.

Avni followed Neil to the room: Neil, tell me why you don't want to join the police force again? You enjoy serving your country don't you?

Neil: Of course I do but I won't do it at the cost of your safety. 

Avni: What do you mean?

Neil then sat on the couch crying. : Avni, whenever I was in the police force, you were always in danger. I can't see you in danger anymore. I don't know what I will do if anything happened to you. You are my life, my oxygen and my heartbeat. There is only Neil if there is only Avni.

Avni then hugged him caressing his back, calming him down. : Neil, don't worry. Im here now nah? Plus due to your police force, good things happened too. Amol became Aman, I met Suneheri, Tara and Sitara who are like my best friends and notorious criminals became arrested.

Aman: Di is right jiju.

Aman then entered the doorway, coming to see how Neil was: Jiju, you are worried about Di's protection right? Well until I'm here, nothing will happened to Di and Mowgli and you have my word.

Riya and Ali: Same

Ali: Avni is my best friend and will always be. Until I'm here I will not let any harm come to the three special ladies in my life. 

Riya: Three?

Ali: You, Aliya and Avni.

Riya smiled at that. She was glad that Ali considered her as a special person as she considered him one too. 

Riya: Don't worry,  I will make sure that no guy ever even harm my sister. they will get the worse from me if they do.

Everyone chuckled as they knew what Riya could do.

Bebe, shweta and Prakash entered too.

Bebe: When Bebe is here do not fear.

Shweta: I will beat the boy who even eyes my daughter in law.

Prakash: Oh she will do that. She did that to every girl who did to me.

Everyone laughed, lifting up Neil's mood

Mowgli: Papa, I'm your son and I protected Mamma all these ten years and I will always do so because Mumma taught me that it's important to protect those who you love.

Avni: See Neil, you have nothing to worry about.

Neil nodded and everyone soon went to their rooms,  intending to sleep. Avni put Neil to sleep, giving him a tender peck on the forehead and tucking him in. Before she went to sleep, she got a message from an unknown number

It read

Hey Baby, did you miss me? Well I missed you too. Guess what, I'm finally out of jail and it won't be long before you become mine. And this time you can't do anything about it because even if you think of informing of anyone else, you know what I can do. Especially to your "Perfect Family".  take this as a message of what will happen next and don't tell anyone or else bad things will happen

love you

Avni frozed. She can't believe that her past is coming back and this time she couldn't inform anyone about it. 

Precap: You will find that in the next chapter

Pls comment on who you think the unknown person is and what is Avni past
