Chapter 81:

It was a time of the night, there was a complete silence outside the Khanna mansion.

Neil opened the door of the room and was surprised to see that it is lit by candles. He, himself had done the decorations before going but after what happened at the wedding and what Neela maa said to Avni, he dropped the plan. Neil looked at the room and to his surprise, Avni was sitting in the centre of the bed just like a bride. Neil smiled to see her and turned to close the door. Avni was sitting by keeping a hand on the hand and when she heard the sound of the closing of the door, she felt butterflies, tickles in her stomach. Neil turns to her and comes to her. Neil take off the veil and smiled to see Avni who was blushing.

Neil: the most beautiful bride.

Avni was looking down. Neil holds her hand and kissed that by looking at Avni. Neil kept his second hand on the hands. Avni looked down.

Neil: Avni. This. I mean, I know that I planned it but whatever happened today after that you must be upset. So after that, this... I mean, we can plan it some other day.

Avni: Neil, whatever happened, I never wanted that to happen but that happened but right now I don't want to think about that. I want to think about us only. Past has passed and I don't know what will happen in the future only the present is in our hands so I want to live it with whole heartily. Neil, problems, ups and downs are part of life and we have to deal with them but should not let them overcome us. Whatever the situation is that should be out of this room. It should not affect our personal life. This room is our small world and whatever is happening outside this room should not ruin the peace of this room.

Neil kissed her hand.

Neil: you said this, it is enough for me. If you are feeling low and doing it for me then you should not do it. I understand.

Avni: I am doing it because I want to do it. I want to take our relationship a step ahead. Neil, more than your wish it is my need. I will not lie to you, Neil, I am upset and as I said that I don't want to ruin our peace because of the things that happen outside this room. I want to forget everything at least for some time and want to fall in love with you.

Neil smiled.

Neil: I love you.

Avni: I love you too.

Neil looked at her. He caressed her cheek and Avni closed her eyes. Neil removed her chunri and kissed her forehead and whole face. Neil looked at Avni and moved to her lips but Avni's phone rang. Avni flinched and Neil closed his eyes, he looked at Avni.

Avni: sorry.

Avni goes to the table and picks the call. Avni scratched her head as her heartbeat was fast.

Avni: Hello, yaa, yaa Aman.

Neil in mind: Aman, you. Today is his first night but he has to call his sister. Maa ka ladla to suna tha ye to behan ka ladla hai. Idiot. Duffer spoiled my whole mood. I wish, Kareena kick him out of the room... No, no Neil, what are you thinking if Kareena kicks him out then this cry baby will come here to cry on his sister's shoulder.

Neil looked up.

Neil in mind: why me, why always me, God.

Neil looked at Avni.

Avni: Sorry, I forgot to inform you. We have reached almost 20, 30 minutes ago.

Aman: ok. Sorry to disturb you.

Avni: it's ok.

Neil: no, it's not.

Avni: good night.

Avni cuts the call and was smiling. Neil snatched the phone from behind and Avni flinched and saw Neil who was standing just behind her. Neil switched off the phone and throws on the couch. Avni was surprised by his action. Neil turns her to him and pulled her by the waist. Avni looked at him. Neil keeps the hair strands behind the ear lovingly and said.

Neil: now no one will disturb us.

Neil looked at Avni and holds her hand. He kissed her hand by looking at her. Neil kissed her forehead and nose and leans to the lips but Avni pushed him and goes away. Neil smiled and goes to her. Neil holds her shoulders and kissed her back, Avni closed her eyes. Neil nuzzled her neck and Avni squeezed her eyes. Neil looked at her and holds her shoulders and turns to him. Neil touched his cheek to her cheek and Avni shrank her shoulders. Neil rubs his lips at her cheek and leaned to her lips and kissed her. Avni encircled her arms around his neck and ruffles his hair. Neil looked at her and turns her, he hugged her from behind and nuzzled her neck and turns her to him. Avni looked at him and they hug each other. Avni kissed his neck and Neil lost in the moment. They break the hug and Neil picked her up and takes her to the bed. Neil opened her hair and removed the jewellery and makes Avni lay by looking into her eyes. Neil was looking at Avni who cups his face and blinked her eyes. She kissed her forehead and turns her face. Neil smiled and he leans to her. The two souls united.

The next day, Avni woke up and stretched her body. She turns her face and saw Neil is laying on his stomach by hugging her and he was shirtless. She recalls their moments and blush. Avni leans to him and kissed him.

Avni: good morning.

Avni carefully gets up and looked at Neil. She was wearing Neil's shirt.

Avni comes after getting fresh she was wiping her hair. She saw Neil is sleeping something struck her mind and she smiled. Avni comes to him and keeps the towel at the side table. She keeps her hair above Neil's face and the water droplet dropped at Neil's face and Avni smiles, she sits and caressed her hair at Neil's face. Neil opens his eyes he instantly turns and holds her waist and twirls. Neil hovers over Avni who was in shock and her eyes were closed. Neil keeps the hair at the side and Avni opens her eyes. She saw Neil is smiling.

Neil: good morning, love.

Avni: you were awake.

Neil nods.

Neil: when you get up, my sleep got disturbed.

Avni: means you were acting.

Neil: yes, my love. But Neil Khanna really liked the way Mrs Khanna woke up him.

Avni encircled her arms around his neck.

Avni: really.

Neil nods.

Neil: hmm, hmm.

Avni: so now if you are wake up so get up and get ready.

Neil: not in a mood to get up.

Avni: then what do you want to do?

Neil's face light up.

Avneil said together: romance. (Avni said as she knows Neil but Neil said in excitement)

They nod their head. Neil nods happily.

Avni: shut up and get up now.

Neil makes a sad face but he kissed her.

Avni: Ummm.

Neil enjoyed his morning. On the other side, Neela maa was lost in her thought and kept the plate she picked another plate and cleans it. Sonia comes to her and saw her lost. Sonia keeps the hand on her shoulder. Neela maa flinched. She looks at Sonia and took a deep breath.

Sonia: what happened, mamma? Are you ok?

Nm: ya, yaa. I was just thinking about something.

Sonia: I am seeing since last night, you are lost.

Nm: nothing is like that. Because of marriage preparations, I have got tired nothing is there to worry about.

Sonia looked at her.

Nm: ok, you go and call all for breakfast till then I arrange the table.

Sonia: no need to do anything. (Sonia holds her arms). You just sit here, first I will call all and then I will arrange the table.

Nm: I am fine.

Sonia: no excuses, you just sit here and yes, don't you dare to get up from here. I am coming in two minutes.

Neela maa smiled and Sonia goes. Neela maa thinks.

Nm: I have decided to disclose the truth but how will I do this? What if it will destroy our house?

Neela maa thinks.

Nm: whatever will happen, I will tell the truth to all.

Person: what truth?

Neela maa turned and looked at the person she was shocked. She got up and was looking at the person.
