Embracing Homecoming
Avni, Neela, and Ashish started towards the airport with their luggage. Avni, lost in her thoughts the entire way, Neela tense, and Ashish the only one seemingly happy about the current situation. Even though he was saddened by his daughter's fight with her husband, he found happiness in the chance to stay with Avni without anyone around. He was determined to mend all the past mistakes he had committed. For that, he was selfish and didn't regret it.
They reached the airport and got out of their car. After a few minutes, a battalion of police and guards surrounded them, leaving all three of them shocked.
Ashish: What is happening? Who are you all?
Guard: Sir, we are here on orders from the Prime Minister's office. They asked us to stop you from going inside the airport.
Avni and Ashish were shocked, while Neela sighed in relief, showing a hint of a smile.
Ashish: What? But why do they want to stop us? Do you know who I am?
Avni: We are not going to stop. Tell the one who gave you the order to stop us. We are leaving. Let's go, Papa. I'll see who has the guts to stop me.
All the guards and police officers remained calm but tensed. Avni dragged her luggage and started moving towards the entrance. However, they were stopped again by another set of guards.
Guard: Ma'am, you cannot go. This is our Prime Minister's order.
Avni: To hell with your order. We are not going to stop.
They all heard sirens, indicating the arrival of the Prime Minister with lots of security around him. Everyone saluted to Neil.
Neil held Avni's hand, and despite her efforts to let go, Neil didn't flinch. He tightened his grip on her.
Avni: Stop it, Neil. Leave me.
Neil: Don't make a scene here, Avni, and follow me.
Ashish: Neil, leave her and let us go. We'll be back in a few days.
Avni: You're the one making a scene, Neil. Just get lost and let me live my life, for God's sake.
Neil ignored Avni and turned to Ashish, while Avni struggled to get away from his grip.
Neil: Uncle, this is not the way to take away someone's wife without letting their husbands know. And how did you think you could take her away from me without my knowledge? Did you forget (with a smirk) I am the Prime Minister, not just any simple employee? I have all the minute-to-minute details of your life, especially when it comes to my wife. I know what happens with her second to second when she is away from my home. I can severely punish you for doing this, but I am only stopping because you are my wife's father.
Avni and Ashish were angry at Neil, and they were about to yell again.
Neil: Please, stay calm. We can continue this at home, not on the road. And for God's sake, look around. The whole media is here. Before they get any inside news, let's get away from here.
Saying this, Neil took Avni into his car, while Ashish and Neela went in the other car.
In the car, Neil was very angry, controlling his emotions so as not to burst in front of Avni and make her more upset.
Avni: How dare you, Neil? How can you just come and stop us? I want to go with my family.
Neil: Shut up, Avni. You are not any normal person. I've told you this many times. You are the Prime Minister's wife, and you cannot go anywhere just like that. Do you know how dangerous it is for you? (he yells at her)
Avni: So what? I don't care, Neil. I don't care even if I die.
Neil: Avniiiii (raises his hand), shut up. One more word from your mouth, and you will face the consequences.
Avni: Why did you stop? Come on, slap me? This is the only thing remaining. You did everything that broke me already, and it is not new for me to get my heart broken by you.
Neil: Avni (cupping her face), please, I apologize for whatever I did in the past, but trust me, Avni, I cannot be away from you. You are my everything, Avni. I don't want to lose you.
Avni shrugged his hands away and scoffed, turning to the other side with tears flowing down. Neil tried to wipe away her tears, but she swatted his hand away.
Neil: Avni, please, once hear me. That day when Mithali said...
Avni: Stop it, Neil. I don't want to hear anything. It's not about Mithali anymore. It's about you and me.
Neil: Avni, please hear me out. I don't like anyone else. I cannot even think about any other woman in your place, Avni. They are no one to me. You are the only one for me. Please trust me.
He tried to hold her hand again, but she swatted it away, making him sigh. They reached home, and Avni got angry seeing where they had arrived.
Avni: What the hell? Why am I here? I will go to Mehta's Mansion. I am not going to stay here.
Neil ignored her and kept on dragging her inside the house.
Avni: Neil, stop it, Neil! (She yelled) Leave my hand.
Neil left her in the middle of the hall, and she tried to go towards the door.
Swetha: Avni, mera bacha. (with tears in her eyes)
Avni immediately turned around with tears flowing once again.
Avni: Maa.
Avni ran to Swetha and hugged her tightly. Both were crying, holding each other.
Avni: I missed you a lot. (Sniffing like a child)
Swetha: I missed you too, a lot. But I don't really think you have missed me. If you had, you wouldn't have planned to go away from us.
Avni shook her head in denial and cried again.
Avni: No, maa, you're the person I love the most. I love you, maa. I will never go away from you.
Person: Then what about me, my sweety?
Avni turned around and saw Ali, running to him and hugging him.
Ali: Now, now, don't cry, my sweety. (Wiping Avnis tears)
Neil and Neela smiled at their bond with tears in their eyes, while Ashish was angry at Neil for stopping them and lost in his thoughts.
Ali: It's only been a few days, and we have gone through hell as you were not there at home. And here you are thinking of going away from us?
Neil came forward and held her by the shoulders, making her shocked.
Neil: Now, she will not go away from us anymore. (Looking into her eyes intensely)
Avni got angry and moved away from him.
Swetha: Yes, you should not go anywhere now. Enough of you going away, Avni. Now we want our daughter back. The Prime Minister can go to hell. I will see what he can do to trouble you.
Ashish: But Swetha Ji, we are thinking of taking her somewhere from here for a few days. She will have new surroundings and will feel stress-free for a few days. It will be a good change for her.
Everyone frowned upon hearing him.
Neil: No, Uncle. She cannot go anywhere. It is dangerous for her. I will not send her anywhere.
Ashish: Neil, I know how to protect my daughter.
Neil: I know, Uncle, you can protect your daughter, but now she is the Prime Minister's wife. We never know what and how it happens, but it is dangerous. I will not allow my wife anywhere without me and my security team around her.
Ashish: But, Neil...
Neil again interrupts him.
Neil: Uncle, you and Aunty, please stay here. I am not stopping you from being with Avni, but I prefer that Avni stays here with me.
Avni: I will not stay with you, Neil, and you have no right to order me! (She yells at him.)
Swetha: Then don't stay.
Everyone looks at her in shock.
Neil: Mom!!
Swetha: Avni, don't stay with Neil. In fact, no one will stay with their partners until this is solved.
She says, making everyone shocked.
Neil: What are you saying, Mom?
Swetha: You shut up. You are the sole reason for everything. This is my home, and you will listen to my order. Avni will stay here, but she will not stay with you. She will stay with me in my room. She is my daughter, and no one can stop her from being with me. And about you and Prakash Ji, you both will sleep in other rooms. If Ashish Ji and Neela Ji are going to be here, then they will also follow the same.
Everyone gets shocked hearing Swetha.
Neela: Correct, I agree with you, Swetha Ji. We should let these males know that they are nothing without us. They are going on ordering us as if we are their slaves.
Swetha: Right, and in my home, I will not tolerate this, especially with my daughter. My daughter Avni will stay here with me, and you go to hell if you want to (staring at Neil in anger). Avni, is this okay, right?
Avni: But Mummy Ji, why would you be away from Papa Ji, and Neela Maa away from my Papa?
Swetha: Because your Papa Ji couldn't control his son's arrogance, and this is his punishment.
Neela: As for Ashish, he is being selfish as always, and he must know that everything will not revolve around as he wishes.
Swetha: Now, let us go and shift your items to my room.
All three ladies go to their rooms to shift the necessary items.
Neil, Ashish, and Prakash stood there, still not understanding what just happened.
Ali bursts into laughter, seeing them, making them come out of their trance.
