Neil's pov

Strange...?....Ye vhi avni hai...jo..jo abhi tk ye bhi nhi janti thi ki vo ye bacha chahti hai ya nhi....vo inn sab ke liye ready hai bhi....ya nhi.
Or abhi....vo iss bache ke liye itna pareshan....bechain ho rhi hai..
....shayad main ye kabhi nhi smjh paunga....Ek bache or maa ka ye rishta.

.....shayad isiliye log kehte hai....ki maa bache ko janam to deti hai....lekin ek bacha bhi....maa ko zindagi deta hai.

pov ends.

Neil : CALM DOWN avni...kuch nhi hoga baby ko....hmm....he said caressing her back and holding her hands .

Avni looked at him with soft tears in her eyes. She realised how she badly wanted this child.

She wiped her tears..as she dont want to look weak in front of Neil.

Neil went to get her something to eat.

Neil : You take rest Avni...i will bring something to eat...he made her lye on the bed...and left her to take rest.

Avni was lying on the bed when she start thinking.....

Avni's pov

Neil....ye sach hai ki main ye baby se bohot pyaar krtu hu....main ise rakhna chahti hu.....
Iss bache ne mujhe zindagi di hai....(she thought keeping her hands on her stomach)

Lekin....main nhi chahti thi ki.....humare iss bikhre rishte ka asar humare bache par pade.

Jab vo bada ho to humse sawal kre....ki aakhir kyu....hum ek normal couple ki tarah nhi hai.

Humare beech ke differences ki vajah se..main ek maasoom ki zindagi khrab nhi krna chahti thi...

Mere liye bohot mushkil hai ye sab...but ab or nhi....
Ab maine decide kr liya.

Main iss baby ko iss duniya me laungi....Ise janam dungi.

Shayad ye hi vo zariya ho...jo humare beech ke iss khaalipan ko dur kr de.

Or ab main isse apne se alag karna to dur....aisa  soch bhi nhi sakti.

pov ends.

In the kitchen.

Neil was making the food. He was chopping the vegetables when his phone ringed

Neil : hello...he picked up the call.

..........

Neil : okay...i..i am coming in an hour. he cuts the call.

Soon he completes the chopping. Prepared the food and went to his room with the lunch for Avni.

Neil : Here is your lunch Avni...come.

Avni who was lost in her thoughts....came to senses when neil entered the room with a tray in his hands.

She sat on bed...and neil sat next to him.

Avni smiled seeing that he prepared the food himself.

Avni (smilingly) : Neil...ye tumne...?

Neil : Yes ofcourse...ye maine bnaya hai.....ab jaldi se isse kha lena...or apni medicines le lena. he said while walking to his cubbourd

Avni was so happy seeing neil's gesture. She thought that they will have lunch together....after so many days.
But her happiness was for seconds only....when she saw neil getting ready

Avni : N...neil tu..tum nhi khaa rhe...? she asked

Neil while wearing his shirt

Neil : No Avni....main bahar se kuch le lunga...Abhi mujhe bohot important kaam hai. I have to leave.

listening this saddened Avni. She just kept looking and withing blinks of eyes....Neil left the room taking his bag and car keys.

Avni looked at the food and smiled slightly.

Avni thought

"kya farak padta hai neil..khana tum bnao ya main...jab hum sath baith ke kha hi nhi sakte...."

Kabhi kabhi main sochti hu...ki aakhir kab hum dono itne dur ho gye....aakhir kab ye sab suddenly change ho gya....Sab kuch kitna acha tha....shaadi se pehle.

Tum mujhse milne ke liye....saara kaam chhdd ke aate the....

Avni : Neil...Do you love me...? she asked him on a phone call

Neil : Yess....You have any doubt...?

Avni : So.....10 minutes me mujhe aake milo.

Neil : But Avni....5 minute me meri client ke saath meeting hai...

Avni : Your time starts now...she cuts the call...

Neil was taken aback. He was confused on what to do. Ek taraf client...dusri taraf Avni.

But he didn't took a second to think and made a U-turn.

Within 9 minutes and 30 seconds..
he reached right in front of his lady love.

Avni turned back and smiled seeing him in front of her.

Neil : 9 minutes and 30 seconds. So....Abhi bhi koi doubt hai...mere pyaar par? he said smirking at her.

Avni smiled and immediately encircled her arms around his neck to give him a bone crushing hug.

Avni : I love you soooo much. She said while neil hugged her back.

Neil (kissing her hairs from back) : I love you too meri jaan....

After few seconds she broke the hug with him and looked in his eyes...

Avni : Neil.....tum mujhse itna pyaar kyu krte ho...? she asked getting emotional

Neil cupped her face and replied..

Neil : Vo to main bhi nhi jaanta....Lekin itna zarur janta hu...ki agar iss life me koi bhi mere liye important hai...to vo sirf tum ho Avni....sirf tum.

Avni felt blessed hearing this from him. She cant be more thankful to God...for giving her a blessing in the form of Neil.

Her friend.....her companioun....and soon going to be her life partner.

Avni : Tum hamesha mujhse itna hi pyaar kroge na...?

Neil (smiled ) and kissed her forehead and replied..

Neil : Hamesha.....Forever....
Jab tak saansein hai....tab tak ye dil sirf tumhare liye dhadakega....

Avni blushed and looked into his eyes.

Neil : Lekin.....vada nhi kr sakta. he said receiving a glare from her.

Avni :  kya..kya matlab ?

Neil  turned around and said.....

Neil : Haa matlab main vada nhi kr skta ki sirf tumse hi pyaar krunga..
Agar aage jaake mujhe tumse jyada kisi or se pyaar ho gaya...to tum gussa mat hona...

Avni listened and get upset.

Neil turned around...and saw her upset face. And he tried to control his laughter.

Neip cupped her face and asked..

Neil : Bolo Avni...gussa nhi hogi na...?

Avni : Nhi neil tum sirf mere ho...main...main tumhe kisi or ke sath share nhi kar skti....kabhi bhi nhi..aage jaake bhi nhi...samjhe tum....she said holding his collars..

Neil : But aisa nhi ho skta...Ek or ladki hai....jise mian tumse jyada pyaar krunga...he said looking at her.

Avni : k..k..kaun hai vo....? she asked having soft tears in her eyes.

Neil smiled and cupped her face...and made her look into his eyes.

Neil : Hai nhi hogi.....Humari beti !
he said smilingly putting an end to Avni's urgeness and restlessness.

Avni listened in sweet shock

Avni : huh....?

Neil : Haa Avni.....kyunki ho sakta hai....Main humari beti ko tumse bhi jyaada pyaar kru....To tumhe mera pyaar share to krna pdega...humare bacho ke saath....he said smirkingly.

Avni blushed and hit him on his shoulders

Avni : Neil..tumne meri jaan hi nikal di thi....she said and smiled.

He gathered her in his arms and hugged her tight.....
