Chapter 137:

It was a hot day, the sun was showering fire on the people. Birds were flying in the search of water. A group of birds was sitting on the terrace of the Khanna mansion and they were drinking water and eating grains.

In the Khanna mansion, Bebe, Shweta and Maddy were sitting in the living area.

Bebe: say, Maddy, why are you hesitating?

Maddy looked at her.

Maddy: Bebe, you know that Kareena can not conceive. I am really very worried about her. Aman doesn't even talk to her.

Bebe looked down.

Maddy: I don't know what to do.

Bebe: Don't worry, Maddy, everything will be fine. With time, things will get sorted.

Shweta: Maddy Jiji, why Kareena is not going to Doctor Prachi. She is a good doctor. Avni's example is in front of you.

Avni was coming downstairs. She stopped to hear them.

Shweta: We all have lost hopes but see today she is expecting.

Avni smiled and came downstairs.

Bebe smiled. Maddy smiled.

Maddy: Yeah that's why I came today. Neil and Avni are very lucky that they are going to become parents.

Avni smiled.

Maddy: Bebe, I want you to talk to Neil.

Avni was looking down. She frowned to hear that because she found it strange.

Bebe: Yes, I will talk to Neil. I...

Maddy continued what she was saying.

Maddy: that he gives his child to Kareena.

Avni was shocked. She felt like someone pulled the rug from under her foot. Bebe and Shweta were shooked.

Neil: what?

Everyone looked at Neil who was shockingly looking at Maddy. He can not believe that someone can be this much selfish that she will try to snatch the child from the parents that too first one and that too before its birth.

No one knew that Avni is listening to them. She touched her belly and got emotional. Everyone got up.

Avni whispered: no, no.

Neil goes to them but stands at a distance.

Neil: what did you say, Bua?

Maddy: Neil, you and Avni can have another child but Kareena will never conceive. Please give this child to Kareena and Aman.

Neil was about to say but they heard the sound of falling something. Neil turned his face and was shocked to see Avni. Everyone saw Avni except Bebe as she was standing at the side.

Neil whispered: Avni.

Bebe was shocked. Avni looked at them. She shook her head. She fastly goes from there.

Neil called her: Avni.

Neil was about to go but he stopped. Neil turned to Maddy.

Neil: Bua, what you are thinking, nothing will happen like that.

Shweta: Tillu, you leave all this and go to Avni. We will handle her.

Neil nods. He fastly goes from there.

On the other side, Avni was sitting on the bed and was restless. She clenched the bedsheet. She slides on the bed. She wipes her sweat. Avni touched her belly.

Avni: Baby, you don't worry, mamma is here. She will not let anyone snatch you from her. Mamma will protect you. We will go away from her. Yes, we will go. Don't worry, hmm, mamma will not let anyone touch you. Hmm.

Avni was fuming. Neil comes there, he stopped at the door by holding both sides of the door because he was running.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked at him. She got up.

Avni: don't come near me.

Neil was shocked.

Avni: I will not give my child to anyone.

Neil shook his head.

Avni: I know, you came to snatch my child from me.

Neil tries to calm hai.

Neil: Avni, Avni, listen to me.

Neil was about to go.

Avni: Don't come near me.

Neil: ok, ok, relax. I am not coming to you. You just calm down. Stress is not good for you and baby you know that right. Han? Just calm down.

Avni was panting. She thinks. Neil looked at her and slowly took a step toward her. Avni saw him. Before she react, Neil came to her and he caught Avni in his arms. He hugged her. Avni struggled to come out of his grip.

Avni: leave me. Leave me, I will not give my child to anyone.

Neil caught her more tightly to calm her. Avni hits his chest.

Avni: Leave me.

Neil hugged her more tightly. She stopped.

Neil: calm down. Calm down.

When Neil saw she is better than before then he made her away by holding her arms and after that, he cupped her face.

Neil: it's our baby, we will not give it to anyone.

Avni cried. She holds his wrists.

Avni: I will not give my child to anyone.

Neil shook his head. He touched his forehead to her forehead.

Neil: sshhhh.

They stayed in that position for some time then Neil took Avni to the bed and made her sit then he sat. Avni touched her belly and Neil kept his hand on her hand. They got emotional. Avni looked at Neil and was crying.

Avni: Neil, it is our baby.

Neil nods.

Neil: yes.

Avni: we will not give it to anyone.

Neil cupped her face.

Neil: are you mad, Avni, why will we give our child to anyone. It is our baby, our first baby how can we give it to anyone.

Avni looked at him while crying.

Neil: it is our baby and it should be with us.

Avni nods.

Avni: yes, it should be with us.

Neil: now don't take the stress. Our baby will be with us, don't worry about it.

Neil wiped Avni's tears.

Neil: now be a good girl and sleep.

Avni shook her head.

Neil: Avniii. Don't you believe me?

Avni: Ne...

Neil: yes or no?

Avni was about to say.

Neil: yes or no?

Avni nods.

Neil: then sleep and leave the rest on me.

Avni looked at him. Neil got up and he made Avni lay then he settled next to her and gave his arm to Avni who kept her head on his arm and then on his chest when Neil turned and he lays straight. Neil caressed her hair and kept his second hand on Avni's hand and holds it. Avni was thinking about that matter and she was exhausted so she slept soon. Neil looked at her and kissed her forehead. Neil thinks and sighs.

On the other side, Bebe and Shweta were sitting with Maddy.

Maddy: Bebe, you think, Avni suffered a miscarriage a few months back but she conceived again just after a few months. Avni and Neil will have more babies but Kareena will not.

Bebe looked down.

Maddy: ask Neil to give this child to Kareena.

Shweta: Maddy Jiji, I told you that it will not happen.

Maddy: Bebe, please talk to Neil, he will listen to you. Kareena is also your granddaughter, think about her.

Bebe thinks.

Maddy: Neil also loves Kareena if we talk to him, he will understand. He always thinks about Kareena. He marries Avni for her, he will give his child to Kareena.

Shweta thinks. She was worried that Maddy will manipulate Neil and will emotionally blackmail him.
