The unexpected fairy tale - 25

They saw Neil's family along with friends there , avni is still nervous to move forward .....but all of a sudden charms came and hugged her .....

Charms : happy to meet you bhabi , she said and avni hugged her back ....

Avni took blessing from bebe , Swetha and Naveen and stood beside her mom ....

Neela : Avni , you and neil are going to khuldevi mandir for Puja , go ....saying she moved her eyes to Neil who stood up taking car keys from his dad ....

All his friends are giving him teasing looks bcoz he is too desperate to spend alone time with avni ..... But avni is scared to go alone with him.....but still followed him after nandu assured her that everything will be fine ......

They both sat in the car and drove away ....

In the car .....

Neil is driving and avni sat on the seat beside him , she is just playing with her fingers with her head down ..... She is very nervous to speak anything.....

Neil smiles looking at her nervousness.....
he just moved his hand from the break and holds her hand making her look at him in shock ....

Their dressing style ......

Neil : relax avi , there is nothing to be worried , i would be happy if u be like yourself just like the way you are with nandu ..... He said still looking at the road and driving .....

Avni just smiled but didn't look at him .....

Neil : kuch toh bolo , are u uncomfortable with me holding your hand , he asked and is about to loosen his grip but avni held his hand making him smile and he kissed on their entwined hands making her blush ......" Kuch bolna nahi hae , baat nahi karogi ? Kuch toh bolo na ? Ok let's forget what happened in the morning , tell me how are u friends with nandu ?? " , He asked her she just saw his face and started talking .....

Neil : we both are together in graduation, college to  hostel everywhere together , i was always single with no friends ,  being the single daughter with no siblings to fight or love . Papa's death made me very close to mumma , it's not good to be so attached to mumma so mamaji made me join hostel forcefully i thought I couldn't be able to survive a day bcoz there won't be mumma to take care of everything but i was wrong bcoz  there I met nandu , life without her in hostel would have been  too bad but i regret the day we need to leave hostel bcoz i got too attached to her , i feel like she is my sister , the whole college used to feel like we are lesbians bcoz we never gave time to anyone be it girls or guys , so many times people tried to seperate us by creating many drifts but nandu never let anyone come between us , she always said we don't need someone to say about us , i learnt to trust others apart from mom , she taught me to be brave . I became so naughty , did pranks , bunked classes and disrespected teachers and  many things which i never thought I  could do in life , but i cried a lot after loosing contact with her , thank u Neil ji for bringing her here for our wedding , nandu  coming to my wedding means a lot to me and the thought I'm gonna stay close to her in Mumbai is more than a big wedding gift i can ever get ....she said getting emotional and Neil stopped the car on a side and hugged her tight , she even hugged him back ....

Neil : avi i just want you to be the way you are , you are beautiful in and out . I want to see all shades of you be it stubborn , angry , crazy , mature and understanding, silly , naughty , happy , sad even crying bcoz we are getting bound for life and i want my wife to be very comfortable around me to be like her bcoz hidden things in relationship causes troubles and i don't want troubles in our relationship, fighting is okay bcoz "ruthna - manana " will be good in our relationship but troubles take us away from each other i don't want to get seperated from you ,it might be an arranged marriage but i wanna say you are my life and"I love you" ,
avni is shocked listening to his pure confession , even though nandu said he would confess avni didn't take it seriously but after listening to this  she just tightened her hold on his shirt making him smile bcoz he don't need an answer but she being  in his arms is more than enough .....

Avni : vo Neil ji , she is about to say something after breaking the hug but Neil didn't let her say. ....

Neil : sshhhhh.....saying he placed his finger on her lips....... I don't need an answer but plz stop calling ji everyone are teasing me , u can call me Neil or any nickname u want but not ji , he said with a cute pout making her laugh ....he just kissed her forehead and they continued the journey talking to each other .....

They reached the mandir and did darshan and gave their wedding card to keep it near devi maa feet and sat there talking for sometime .....

They started their return journey on a new note to togetherness of their married life with smiles on their faces ......

They are just talking and laughing at the same time Neil's mobile started ringing .....

Neil : avi answer the call , he said pointing his mobile which is on the front board .....

Avni : but it's your mobile Neil....she said passing it to him ...

Neil : it's your husband's mobile answer it , if u are not comfortable keep it on speaker i will talk and i don't mind my wife listening to what I talk , he said and avni felt happy and answered the call saying it's from charms .....

On call ....

Charms : Bhai , where are you ??

Neil : on the way back home bacha. Kya hua ? Kuch chahiye ?? He asked still driving .....

Charms : manik Bhai is not taking us out for lunch plz take us out , plz .....she said making cute faces ......

Neil : don't butter me , sach sach bataoo kya plan hae .....he asked knowing her too well....

Charms : i want to roam around the place bcoz kalse wedding functions will start , no one will take me out plz , you are my best Bhai na plzzz .... .....she said cutely making avni smile .....

Neil : main best hoon aaj ,kal toh kuch aur kaha tha tune mujhe kadoos and manik ko Hitler bola , where is that sweet Karan Bhai of yours ?? He asked bcoz manik and Neil never give into her demands immediately but Karan does anything for her immediately......

Avni : he is sleeping like he never slept before and manik Bhai is too busy with uncle helping him with arranging everything for tomorrow , plz Bhai ..... If not I will tell all your secrets to bhabi .....she started to black mail him ....

Neil : acha beta , i didn't accept for your cute voices so you started your black mail , he asked her very strictly stopping the car on a side and took the mobile from avni , he just opened his chats and started texting manik to bring everyone to restaurant for lunch , making avni confused bcoz he is saying no to avni on call and convincing manik to bring everyone to mall .....

After teasing avni and finnally not accepting for her demands he cut the call ....he immediately recieved a call from manik ..... He even put this call on speaker .....

Manik : Neil , she called u right . I asked her not to disturb you yaar , he said slightly frustrated.....

Neil : manik humse nahi puchega toh kisse puchega , it's good she suggested lunch plans , bring everyone to mall , even avni needs to know everyone right , he said holding avni's hand ....

Manik : we can do that later , i will talk to charms , you enjoy your time with bhabi yaar , u waited a lot to spend time with her , let's go tomorrow, he said but before Neil could say something avni spoke .....

Avni : Neil please mujhe bhi sabse milna hae , plz ask manik to bring everyone.....she said with cute pout and Neil is convinced.....

Manik : bhabi not you yaar , she is so stubborn for everything, let her take no as answer sometimes , he said regarding charms ....

Avni : one last time for me plz , she said and manik accepted making her smile and Neil happy .....

Neil drove to the mall happily , they both got down the car to see charms and nandu taking selfies , rest all busy talking.....

Cabir ,navya , sanju , Ali , mouni , Arjun , manik , nandu , charms , Karan .....they reached them and all of them moved in to have lunch with loads of teasings specially nandu who is teasing avni a lot..... Manik is just admiring nandu and her antics a lot .....

They all reached home late evening ..... And left to their rooms to rest and meet for dinner. .......

They all came out after an hour hearing loud noises from the next house which is avni's house , they ran to see what happened .....

They saw avni , nandu are missing and Neela ( avni's mom) and her mamaji and mamiji are there in the hall .....mamaji is shouting loudly on the phone , they even saw a few vases broken that's the sound they heard. .....

Mamaji : kya nahi asakte , last moment pe cancel kaise karsakte ho , kya hum sare guests ko bhooke rehne de ....kal subha aoogi ....ab kya karu ghas ( grass ) kilaooo sare mehmano ko ...... U bloody idiot , i don't need excuses i need food , paise puchne mat aooo saley .....saying he cut the call.....

Neela : kya hua bhayya .. ? She asked still crying. ....

Mamaji : vo nahi apayega , uske bharose humne khana nahi banaya , nahi order Kiya , it's already past 9 kaha se lekar ayenge khana  .....he said holding his head ....

Mamiji : main kuch banaoo jaldi jaldi.  ...she asked seeing her sister in law and husband worried.....

Mamaji : samjhao sarla( avni's mami )  ko Neela ....hum sirf 7 log nahi hae Roz ki khana banalogi ,  .....we are nearly seventy people in the houses , damad ji ki pura parivaar hae kathirdari ki koi kami nahi honi chahiye , ek hi beti hae humare dono Ghar ki , humara Shravan toh bacha hae abhi , kash vo bada hota ......he said and before he could continue he heard a voice .....

" Kyu main hoon na badi beti " , everyone turned to see nandu there with avni .....

Mamaji : nandu beta mazak na karo na , he said being dull....

Nandu : arey mamu kyu pareshaan horahi ho ...ha Shravan bacha hae but main toh badi hoon , avni se bhi 2 months badi hoon toh Hui na apki badi beti , khana ki hi baat hae ....  Hum kafi hae banane keliye, ap humari madadat karogi toh hojayegi ..... Neela maa ap vegetables cut karna shuru karo , mami ap bade vale bartan upar se nikalo , mamaji ap aag lagane keliye Jo cheeeze layi hona caterers keliye usi se aag lagaooo..... Hum caterers ki tarah shaadi ki bhojan thali toh nahi kilasakti but Biryani , ek sabji , raita , white rice with curd and  dal ,  aur ghar pe bahut zyada sweets pade hae along with fruits and pickels bhi hae , kuch toh kilayenge , jitna main janti hoon Neil aur uski family ko they will feel happy with whatever you give them , if they get to know we are working alone with telling them , they will feel bad as well ,so pareshan mat ho ....chalo kaam pe lag jaooo.....she said making him stand , he just hugged her like a kid. ....

All this is heard by Neil and all his family members , manik is the one who felt proud hearing her bcoz her words and  actions prove how much she understood the situation.....

Precap : family bonding ....not blood related but by heart .....
