Neil : Avni ...... he removed her hands palming her face....and looked at her, as her cheeks turned red due to crying and her eyes still filled with unstoppable tears.

Avni was hicupping in between and crying slowly looking down.....with a feeling that whatever is happening with her, is because she deserves it.

She feels that she is bad mother and a bad wife too.... That she cant do anything to save the life of her child.

Neil sighed seeing her emotionally weakened condition. He saw her hairs all messed up, her eye lashes all wet with tears and her nose and cheeks turned red.

He leaned towards her and slowly placed her hairs on the back of her ears. (avni still hiccuping and looking down )

(*music plays in background )

Pal....Do Pal....Ki Hi Kyun Hai Zindagi....... (he placed her hairs on the back of her ears )

Iss....Pyar ko Hai Sadiyaan Kaafi Nahi........ (neil held his thumb against her cheeks and removed the droplets falling from her eyes)

Toh Khuda Se Maang Lun......
Mohalat Main Ik Nayi...... ( neil after wiping her tears , came closer and cupped her face.... and she finally raised her eyes, slowly looking at him....

Rehna Hai Bas Yahaan.....
Ab Door Tujhse Jaana Nahi..... (they both looked in each others eyes)

Jo Tu mera humdard hai....
( he came closer and touched her forehead with a kiss of love. )

Jo Tu Mera Humdard Hai.....
( her eyes get closed, leaving another tear down her cheeks. )

.......Suhaana Har Dard Hai
Jo Tu Mera Humdard Hai....
( he kissed over her eyes one by one, wishing to snatch all her pain )

Avni slowly opened her eyes and looked at him being very close to her.

(their noses were almost touching each others)

Neil wiped that last drop of tear from her face ,  and moved his face in a no in front of her,to tell her not to cry anymore.

Avni nodded slowly bringing a small smile on neil's face.

Teri Muskurahatein Hain Taaqat Meri.......
Mujhko Inhi Se Ummeed Mili.....

(he slowly layed her down on the bed...with his one arm below her head. She was only looking at him, not moving her eyes away from his)

Chaahe Kare Koi Sitam Ye Jahaan.....
Inme Hi Hai Sadaa Hifaazat Meri... ( he pulled her closer, taking her in his arms, and then covered themselves with a blanket )

Zindagani Badi Khoobsurat Hui
Jannat Ab Aur Kya Hogi Kahin......

Jo Tu Mera Humdard Hai.....
Jo Tu Mera Humdard Hai.....

Suhaana Har Dard Hai.....
Jo Tu Mera Humdard Hai....

neil placed his hands over her face and closed her eyes.

Placing a kiss on her forehead he watched her sleeping.

He knows that she is emotionally weak right now. And all she needs right now is him.

"I promise avni ...I will fix everything "   he said.

That night , neil had a reality check. He had a  realisation that the time is still in his hands.
He can fix everything right.
He can bring back the long lost love. He can bring happiness back into their lives.
.and he can bring back the smile of Avni.

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

Next day

Neil woke up first. Avni was still sleeping, cuddled closed to his chest.

He didnt want to disturb her sleep, therefore he got up gently.

He watched her for few minutes and then went outside to make a call.

He searched for a number in his phone, and after few minutes a smile swept his lips, when he finally found that number.

He dialed it in a hurry....praying the other person to pick it fast.

Neil : H...Hello.... ?

Shriya :  Hello.....who's there ?

Neil : Shriya...its...its me...Neil.

Shriya : Ohh Neiilll...Hi..h..how are you. What a pleasant surprise. You called me after years.

Neil : I am gud....S..sorry i disturned you in the morning.

Shriya : No no....its absolutely fine. You know na, my work. Mere liya kya subah kya raat.
Vese tum btao...tumhe achanak apni iss friend ki yaad kaise aa gyi.

Neil : Woh....w.....ac..actually....?

he sound nervous.

Shriya : Hey....Neil ? Is everything alright ? she said sensing some seriousness in his voice.

Neil : No...everything is not fine.. And.....I...I need your help.

Shriya : One second. Just tell me eveything neil....what happened ?

Neil : Shriya....its....its about...about my wife. She is pregnant...and.....

Shriya : WHAT....? Congratulations neil....You are going to be father ? ah....thats amazzzing. I am sooo sooo happy for you.
Tell me.....i am sure you need my help......Tum yahi chahte ho na..that main avni ki delivery kru. Uski pregnancy journey me main use guide kru.
After all i am gynacologist....and I know.....I know you trust me more than anyone else.....Right neil....?

Shriya is a childhood friend of neil. One of his best friend and she is one of the best best gynaecologist of the town.

She has done her MBBS from abroad and till now she has dealt with many complicated cases.

Neil knew about her success rate in such cases.

And all he wants from her, is to save the life of his child.....and.....his wife.

Neil : Yes shriya.....I trust you more than any...any other doctor. Thats why i need your help.
I know only you....only you can understand our situation. (his words got heavy , as his heart gets filled with tears).
avni ....avni needs you shriya.....and my....my unborn baby needs you....

Shriya senses the pain in his heavy tears filled voice.

Shriya : Neil....d..dont worry. Just relax. okay....Calm down neil....And...and tell me....tell me everything from the scratch.

Neil pits the phone down and calmed himself down...before he could say anything.
He breathed and then putirng back the phone, he tells her everything about avni's condition amd everything that doctor told and suggested them.

Shriya listened patiently.

Neil : .....and i....i dont what to do now.
I can't...can't lose Avni...and neither i want to lose my child... Please do something shriya. Please find a way out. I ....i know you can do this.....please.....please help us out.

Shriya : Neil.....i can understand what you must be going through. And i know how Avni must be feeling right now.

But.....you dont worry neil. I will see what I can do.
But first I need to do a complete study of this case. Avni's condition, her medical history, your medical history and everything.
We have to rule out all the possibility before....before commenting on anything.

Neil : Thanks shriya. Thank you so much.

Shriya : Don't say thank you neil. And i promise, I WILL give MY 100%.
Its my responsibity now, to save your baby.  After all.....i will the happiest aunt then.....she smiled making neil smile too.

Neil (smiling with a new ray of hope ): We will come to your hospital tommorow then.

Shriya : Ya sure.....Bye. Take care....and take care of avni too.

Neil  (smilingly ) : Yes i will....!

He cuts the phone and was standing there, just thinking about his baby.

He started imagining the baby in his arms, avni holding their baby, the baby clapping, the baby smiling, the baby crawling towards him.
All those visuals were bringing a smile on his face.

He was thinking only when suddenly he heard avni's scream

Avni - Neilllll.......... avni woke up, screaming from a bad dream

Neil entered the room in a rush listening her scream.

Neil : Avni what happened....? he sat next to her and held her hands.

she was looking around realising that it was her dream, to which she just woke up.

Neil immediately realised that she must have seen a bad dream.

Neil wiped off the sweatbeads formed on her forehead...
He took her into a side hug and start carressing her hairs.... Relax....I am here....shhhhh.....everything is fine.

Avni placed her hand on his chest (as he took her into a side hug) and she said.....
Neil v...vo...b...baby.....humara baby....!

Neil : Shhhhhh.....nothing happened avni....It was just a bad dream.
The baby is safe. (he placed his one hand on her stomach to make her feel )

Neil kept caressing her hairs and placed a kiss on her forehead.

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

(Imagine , How haunting it must be for a mother to know, that she can lose her child anytime )
