Chapter 148:

It was the time of the morning, the birds were chirping and flying in the sky. Maddy was standing at the door. She was looking at Bebe emotionally. Avni catches her belly. Neil looked at Avni who looked worried. Neil thinks.

Maddy was looking at the Bebe. Neil and Avni got up and to see them, Prakash also got up. Neil got angry because he had prohibited Maddy from coming to their home. Maddy was about to enter the Khanna mansion.

Bebe: stop.

Neil was about to say something but he stopped to hear Bebe.

Maddy stopped, and she looked at Bebe. Avneil also looked at Bebe. Maddy took her step back. Avneil looked at each other then they looked at Bebe.

Maddy: Bebe, I…

Bebe cuts her in between.

Bebe: Shweta, ask her to go from here. I don’t want to see her face.

Maddy: Bebe, please don’t do this to me.

Bebe: Sunny, ask her to not call me Bebe, she lost this right when she tried to harm my grandchild.

Maddy got hurt.

Prakash looked down. It was difficult for him to ask his sister but he also didn't forgive her.

Maddy: Bebe, that’s why I have come here. I have realised my mistake.

Bebe: you didn't do a mistake, you have committed a crime.

Avneil looked down. Avni was feeling bad for Bebe but Neil was serious. Neil scratched his nose with his thumb.

Bebe: say thanks to God that Neil only prohibits you from coming here. He didn't file a complaint against you else you would have been behind the bars till now.

Maddy looked down.

Bebe: I feel ashamed of calling you, my daughter.

Maddy was looking at her with tearful eyes.

Bebe: by the way, Neil had prohibited you from coming here then why did you come here? Don't you have one percent self-respect even after he prohibited you, you came here?

Maddy: I came to apologize to you all. I have realised my mistake.

Bebe looked away.

Shweta: Maddy Jiji, you are Avni and Neil's culprit. Apologies to them, not us.

Maddy: I will but please let me come inside first.

Shweta looked away.

Neil holds Avni's hand and Avni looked at the hands then Avni looked at Neil who was looking at their hands then he looked at Avni. Avni was confused. Neil nods. He took her where Bebe and Shweta were standing because Avneil was standing near the couch where they were sitting.

Avni was looking at Neil then Avneil looked at Maddy who was looking at them. Neil stopped and Avneil turned to Maddy.

Neil: yes, Bua, what were you saying?

Maddy was looking at them.

Maddy: Neil, please ask Bebe to forgive me. I know, I had done a grave mistake but please forgive me now I have realised my mistake.

Avneil was looking at Maddy. Maddy looked at Bebe.

Maddy: Bebe, (Avni looked at Bebe)
please talk to me, I don't want to come here, I was ashamed of my acts but you were not receiving my calls so I didn't have any other option and I came here. Please, forgive me, Bebe.

Avni was looking at Bebe and Maddy looked at Avni.

Maddy: Avni, you ask Bebe to forgive me. She will listen to you. I know, I am your culprit please forgive me.

Maddy joined her hands.

Maddy: I am joining my hands in front of you please forgive me.

Neil looked at Avni.

Avni: Bua, if it was about me then I would have forgiven you but you...

Avni stopped because she got emotional. Avni jerks her hair to control her emotions and Neil got happy. Neil was looking at her.

Maddy nods.

Maddy: I know, I had done a grave mistake. I am also a mother how can I try to snatch another's child? In the greed of giving happiness to my daughter, I forgot every other thing. I got blind. But now I have realised my mistake please forgive me. Everyone needs a second chance.

Shweta: right, Jiji and we gave you thousands of chances but every time you come up with a new mistake and this time, you crossed all the limits, you tried to kill an innocent soul.

Avni looked down, she got emotional. Neil also lowered his gaze and head slightly.

Maddy: you are right, Bhabhi. And I am ready for any punishment but please ask Bebe to forgive me.

Everyone looked at Bebe.

Bebe: she is Avni and Neil's culprit but even if they forgive her, I will not forgive her.

Maddy: Bebe, please.

Bebe looked away.

Maddy: bhabhi.

Shweta folds her arms and looked away.

Maddy looked at Avni.

Maddy: Avni, please you say to Bebe.

Avni folds her arms and looked away. Maddy looked at Neil who was looking at Maddy but before she says something. Neil turned his face. Maddy felt alone.

Bebe: Bheema, close the door.

Bheema comes there but she stopped to see Maddy.

Bebe: didn't you hear, what did I say? Close the door.

Bheema nods and she goes to the door. She closed the door. Maddy was looking at them. Avneil looked at Bebe then they looked at each other.

On the other side, Maddy was crying by looking down.

Avni came to Bebe.

Avni: Bebe, I am sorry, because of me, there is a rift in your and Maddy Bua’s relationship.

Neil was looking at Avni.

Bebe: you don’t need to feel sorry, you didn’t do anything, the mistake was of Maddy so don’t blame yourself for it.

Shweta: Bebe is right, Avni, don’t blame yourself for it and be happy and enjoy this beautiful phase of your life and make new memories so that you can cherish them in the future.

Avneil smiled.

Bebe: absolutely right. Sometimes, Shweta also talks wisely.

Everyone smiled.

Shweta: Bebeee.

Bebe and others smiled. Shweta made a sad face. Avneil looked at each other and smiled.

A month passed like this and now Avni was four months pregnant. One day, Avni and Neil were present in the cabin of the doctor. The doctor was doing a sonography of Avni. Neil was also standing there. Avneil saw the child and they got emotional to see their baby because now they can see a complete baby. They smiled with teary eyes. The doctor looked at them and smiled to see them. Avneil looked at each other and smiled with teary eyes then they were sitting in the cabin.

Doctor: Avni and baby, both are fine.

Avneil smiled and they looked at each other

Doctor: Now the fifth month has started so the baby will move in your womb so don’t panic. Ok.

Avni nods.

Doctor: and take care of yourself.

Avneil looked at each other.

It was the time of the night, Avni was lying in a fowler position and was scrolling her phone. Neil was standing in front of the mirror. Neil was combing his hair. Suddenly, Avni winces.

Avni: aah.

Avni holds her belly.

Neil stopped and he saw Avni in the mirror then he turned his face.

Neil: Avni.

Neil kept the comb on the table and he hurriedly goes to Avni. Neil sat in front of her.

Neil: what happened?

Neil was surprised.

Neil: what?

Avni looked at Neil. She nods while smiling and her eyes were teary.

Avni: ouch.
