Chapter 83:

At the time of the day, Avneil were standing in their room. Avni was in shock. Neil was looking at her.

Neil: we are coming.

Neil cuts the call and looked at her. He keeps the hand at Avni's arm. Avni looked at him.

Neil: Avni, we have to go there let's go, fast. We have to reach there as soon as possible.

Neil holds her hand and goes fastly. Avni was lost in her thoughts.

On the other side, the Mehta family was standing near the couch in the living area. Neela maa was sitting there. Sonia was applying ointment on her foot.

Sonia: mamma, is it paining?

Arnav: let's go to the hospital.

Aman: I am going to get the keys.

Nm: relax, I am fine. It is just a minor sprain.

Ashish: but how did you slip?

Neela maa thinks.

Flashback:

Neela maa was about to slip but she holds the rail on the time and her foot twisted. She sighed by closing her eyes and she kept the hand on her heart. When she tried to go she felt a sharp pain in her foot and slowly came down.

Nm: Sonia, Sonia, Arnav.

Sonia comes from the kitchen and Arnav comes near the stairs in the corridor. He comes down.

Arnav: what happened?

Nm: my foot. First, let me sit please take me to the couch.

They give her support and take her to the couch.

Flashback ends.

Ashish: what were you thinking? You should be careful. Where are you lost now days?

Sonia: Papa is right, I have also noticed that you are often in deep thought. What's wrong with you? What are you worried about?

Nm: nothing. I was just thinking about groceries.

Ashish: about grocery or Riya's commemoration day.

Neela maa looked at him, Ashish was looking at her.

On the other side, Avni and Neil were on the way. Avni was talking on the phone.

Avni: yes, I am on the way. Tell me, you all are fine. Did the fire brigade reach?

Avni heard the other side.

Avni: ok, I will be there in five minutes. Don't worry and stay away from there... ok, take care.

Avni cuts the call and catches her head. Neil was driving the car.

Neil: don't worry, everything will be fine.

Avni: I hope so. Tomorrow is Riya's commemoration day and today this.

Neil: don't worry, we are going there, we will figure out this matter. You just relax, don't take the stress.

Avni again dialled a number.

Avni: Hello...

Soon, they reached Avni's office there was a small warehouse at the side where they kept the things. It was burning and the fire brigade was trying to control it. Avni and Neil go there. Avneil was looking at that. Neil looked at Avni. Avni saw her team, a man comes to her.

Avni: How did this happen?

Man: don't know ma'am when I came, I saw that it is burning.

Avni: where is the security?

Avni turns her face and saw the security. Avni goes to them.

Avni: you all are fine?

They nod.

Avni: How did this happen?

Security guard: because of short circuit.

He told her everything to Avni and Neil was standing there. Avni looked at her staff and goes to them. Neil went after her.

Avni: you all are fine?

They nod.

Sunehri: ma'am, this.

Avni: don't worry, everything will be fine. It's good that we all are safe. Things can be bought again but life not.

Man: I told the technician about this problem but he did not do his work.

Avni: I know, I was aware of this issue and asked them to do the maintenance. That's the reason that I shifted important stuff from here but...

Sunehri: he should be punished.

All agree.

Avni: we will see this. Thank God, the loss is not big. Anyways you all go back to your home today, we will resume our work tomorrow. First, we have to check what stuff is safe then only we can start our work.

All nods and goes. Avni turns to the warehouse and looked at it. Neil keeps the hand on her shoulder. Avni looked at him. She signed, the words stuck in her throat.

Neil: everything will be fine. We will pass this phase too.

Avni: events are on the head and this... how will I complete the order?

Neil holds her shoulders and turns her to him.

Neil: everything will be fine. I am with you, your team is with you. We will manage.

Avni sighs and looks at the warehouse. Neil also looked there.

After some time, Avni and Neil go there and saw the things have burned. Avni looked around and thinks. They came out.

Avni: Neil, you go to your hospital. The situation is under control now, I will manage.

Neil: I am not going anywhere if there were any emergency they will call me.

Avni: but what will you do here? You go, I will manage.

Neil: no means no, now come with me and have something. You did not eat anything since morning.

Avni looked at him but before she says, Neil interrupts.

Neil: no excuses, come.

Neil holds her hand and takes her from there. Avni smiled.

In the nighttime, Avni was standing near the window and looking at the sky. Her phone rings, she saw Neela man's number and thinks.

Avni: Hello.

Nm: hello, how are you, bacha?

Avni: fine, how are you?

Nm: fine. I called to ask you that you are coming tomorrow.

Avni was surprised.

Avni: mamma, how can I... you know, pa. pa...

Nm: It is your sister's commemoration day, you should be here.

Avni: mamma, you know, papa has prohibited me how can I come?

Nm: I don't know, this time you have to come.

Avni: mamma, understand.

Nm: Avni, you are coming so you are coming. That's it if you do not come then I will tell the truth to all.

Avni was shocked.

Nm: come on time, bye.

Neela maa cuts the call.

Avni: hello, mamma, mamma listen.

She saw the phone is cut. Avni thinks she looked at the sky and tears filled in her eyes.

Avni: I miss you, Riya.

Neil comes and saw Avni he was facing Avni's back. He closed the door, Avni heard that she wiped her tears and sighed. Neil comes to her and hugged her from behind. Avni's eyes get moist.

Neil: you ok?

Avni: hmm.

Neil tightens the hug and Avni closed her eyes. Tears fall from her eyes, a tear falls at Neil's hand. Neil looked up. Neil turned her to him by holding her both shoulders. Avni looked at him. She throws herself on Neil. Neil consoled her. He breaks the hug and kissed her forehead.

Avni was standing near the bed and a picture frame of her and Riya was in her hand. Neil was standing with her. Song Kuch is tarha teri palke. Neil turns her to him and cupped her face and touched his face to her face and Avni's tear falls on his cheek. Neil consoled her.

Neil makes Avni lay on the bed and wipes her tears. He kissed her forehead, a tear falls from Avni's eyes she opened her eyes and looked at Neil. Neil lays  and signs Avni to come. Avni keeps her head on his chest.

Avni was laying in Neil's arm.

Avni: Neil.

Neil: hmm.

Avni: mamma wants me to attend Riya's commemoration day.

Neil: Do you want to go?

Avni: I don't know, I am confused.

Neil: whatever your decision be, I am with you.

Avni: you say, should I go?

Neil: I don't want you to go but if Neela maa has called you then you should go but again I am saying whatever your decision be, I am with you. If you feel that you should go then go if you think that you should not go then don't go.

Avni thinks.

The next day, in the Mehta house all were busy in the preparation and were wearing white clothes. Riya's picture was kept there. A car stopped outside the Mehta house, Avneil were sitting in it. Avni looked at the house and Neil looked at her. Avni turns her face to him.

Neil: Are you sure, you want to go?

Avni: If I do not go then mamma tell the truth to them and if I go then don't know how Papa will react. I just wish that everything will go smoothly.

Neil keeps the hand on her hand. Avni looked at him. They get down from the car and Avni was looking at the home. Neil holds her hand and Avni looks at him. Neil took her to the home. Avni was afraid by thinking that what will happen. Avni and Neil stopped at the door. Everyone saw them and were shocked. No one wants Avni to come because they know Ashish very well so they don't want Avni to come and get hurt. Ashish looked at Avni angrily. Avni was looking at him.
