Chapter 125:

At the time of the night, the moon's light was shining on the Khanna mansion and was peeping from the window into Avneil's room. Avni was sitting on the bed and was reading a book. Neil entered the room by talking on the phone.

Neil: yes, I am coming, Sweetie.

Neil stopped. Avni looked up at Neil.

Neil: yes, it has been so many days and we all friends did not do a get-together.

Avni in mind: whom he is talking and who is that sweetie?

Neil looked at Avni from the corner of his eyes and saw she is lost. Neil smiled. Suddenly, Neil laughed and Avni flinched. She looked at Neil.

Neil: yes, I remember that incident. Everyone thought that we are in a relationship because we had worn the same colour.

Neil chuckles.

Neil: Oh God, those days. I really miss those days. Now, life has become so boring. Marriage life is so boring.

Avni widens her eyes.

Neil: ok, we will meet tomorrow, ok, bye.

Neil cuts the call and Avni looked at her book and pretends to read it. Neil thinks then he looked at Avni who stole her gaze at him and she again looked at the book. Neil came to the bed and sat. He looked at his phone.

Neil: feeling so fresh after days.

Avni looked up from the book. She again looked at the book.

Neil: You know, Avni.

Avni looked at him.

Neil: we all did a lot of fun in our college days and Sweetie, she was a sweetheart. I will meet her after five years, I am so excited.

Neil smiled.

Avni: why are you telling me all this?

Neil looked at her. Neil looked at the bed to pretend that he is shocked by her reply and thinking something. Neil looked at Avni.

Neil: I am just telling you.

Avni: Can't you see that I am reading a novel. You broke my tempo.

Neil: Why are you getting hyper? what did I say to you?

Avni: nothing. Good night.

Neil: fine, I will not talk to you. Read your novel.

Avni: now my mood got spoiled.

Neil: don't tell me, you are jealous of Sweetie?

Avni: aah, jealous my foot.

Neil: what happened to you suddenly.

Avni: Neil.

Avni closed her eyes to control her emotions.

Avni: please, let me sleep.

Neil remains silent. Avni kept the book on the side table, she turns her face and lays by covering her face. Avni closed her eyes. Neil slightly leaned toward her and he smiled. Neil moves back and was smiling.

Neil lays on the bed and looked at the roof. Avni opens her eyes, she thinks then she closed her eyes. Avni turns her side and hugs Neil who was surprised by her act. Avni moves to him and keeps her head on Neil's arm. Neil looked at her and he saw her closed eyes. Neil smiled and he took Avni in his arm and kept his second hand on Avni's arm which was hugging him. Avni keeps her head on his chest and hugs him more tightly. Neil chuckles.

Avni: I am sorry, I overreacted.

Neil kissed her forehead.

Neil: it's ok.

Neil smiled. He understood that Avni hugs him as she is possessive about him that's why she is showing her child side to him by clinging to him.

Neil is mind: I am all yours, Avni, only yours. I am doing this for you so that you can not think about our baby.

Neil kissed Avni's hair.

Neil: I love you.

Avni smiled. She kissed at Neil's heart.

Avni: I love you more.

Neil smiled. Neil holds Avni's hand which was on his chest. Neil took her hand to his lips and kissed Avni's palm, Avni smiled then Neil kept Avni's hand on his chest and his hand was holding Avni's hand. Avni looked up at Neil who smiled and pecked Avni's forehead. Avni again keeps her head on his chest. Neil caressed Avni's hair, and she smiled. Neil thinks something and sighs. Avni opens her eyes and thinks.

The next morning, Avni and Neil were at home as it was Sunday. Neil was searching for something in his cupboard and he took out a shirt. Neil looked at Avni who was engrossed in her cell phone and was sitting carrying a pillow in her lap.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked at him.

Neil: can you please iron this shirt for me.

Avni was surprised.

Neil: Actually, I am going to the hospital and Bheema Di went with Mom and Bebe else I would ask her so if you don't mind then can you press this shirt for me, I want to wear it at tonight's get together.

Avni was surprised, she looked down and nods then she kept her phone and pillow on the bed. Avni came and forwards her hand. Neil smiled.

Neil: so sweet of you.

Neil gives her a shirt and holds her arms. Neil kissed Avni's forehead. Avni smiled slightly. She was hurt.

Neil: bye.

Avni: Bye.

Neil smiled. Neil was going but he stopped and makes a pout. He turns to her.

Neil: aa, Avni.

Avni turns to him.

Neil: please, be careful, Sweetie gifted me this shirt.

Avni glared at Neil then she smiled fakely.

Avni: Don't worry, I will be careful.

Neil smiled.

Neil: Thanks.

Neil goes. Avni looked at the shirt. Avni plugged in the iron and starts pressing the shirt in anger.

Avni mimics Neil: please, be careful, Sweetie gifted me this shirt. Han.

Avni pressed her lips as she was angrily pressing the shirt.

Avni murmurs: Sweetie. Sweetie, my foot, shameless person, he was talking to her in front of me and was recalling their days.

Avni stopped.

Avni: what did he say? Yes. Everyone thought that we are in a relationship, shameless.

Neil was standing at the door peeping into the room and was looking at her. Neil saw Avni pressing the shirt in anger. Avni pressed her lips.

Neil in mind: She is surely pressing the shirt by imagining me.

Avni: I wish, it was Neil instead of this shirt and I will press him straight.

Avni was pressing the shirt: Like this, like this.

Neil gulps.

Neil: meri hanikarik biwi.

Avni: and what else he said... yes.

Avni mimics Neil: I really miss those days. Now, life has become so boring. Marriage life is so boring.

Neil chuckles.

Avni: marriage life is boring, just wait and watch, Mr Khanna, what I will do.

Neil widens his eyes. Neil smiled.

Neil in mind: at least, now you will be busy in thinking about this matter and other things will not come to your mind.

Neil sighs. Neil happily goes from there.

Avni kept the iron and burnt the shirt desperately. Avni keeps away the iron and picked up the shirt. She looked at the whole on the shirt.

Avni: aww, poor Neil, his sweetie's gift got burnt. So sad.

Avni makes a sad pout.

At the time of the night, Neil came into the room and as soon as he looked up, he got shocked. His burnt shirt was hanging on the hanger with a note. Neil goes there and took the chit.

Neil read: sorry, Neilu, I burnt your Sweetie's gift by mistake please forgive your wifey.

Avni makes a sad emoji with that. Neil chuckles and shook his head. Neil sighs happily.

Neil: finally, my wifey is coming back.

Neil smiled. He looked at the shirt and smiled. Neil's eyes fall on the gift which was kept on the table. Neil goes there and picked it up. A note was stuck with that.

Neil read: this is an apology gift from your wifey please wear it. I will think that you forgave me.

Neil smiled. He thinks and goes to change. Neil came back. Neil looked up. He thinks.

Neil: but where is Avni?

Neil goes to check. Neil checked in the kitchen, rooms, in garden area but didn't find her anywhere. Neil was passing by the corridor by keeping the phone at his ear and he heard Avni's phone ring from the room. Neil came back to his room as soon as he entered, and he got a shock.
