My Worst Fear Is Losing You

Yuvraj was now nine months old, Avni had resumed her work; Ali and Riya were planning their wedding. Life was imperfectly perfect, like every other family. Everyone enjoyed their days to the fullest with their bundle of joys. Yuvraj had turned extremely mischievous and notorious following on the footsteps of his elder sister. They would be partners-in-crime for everything. From sleeping together to secretly eating ice cream at midnight, they wouldn't leave a time in the day that would not be a beautiful moment. Neil would join them on their  midnight sneak outs most of the time only to get an angry Avni standing with her hands placed on her hips. Fortunately, they were always able to escape her wrath due to Yauvraj's puppy eyes.

Bebe had already named her grandson 'Pillu' just like his father. Whenever he heard it, he would giggle uncontrollably. Neela lovingly named her grandson 'Yuvi'. The rest followed on the footsteps of the two grandmas and would alternate between 'Pillu' and 'Yuvi'. Yuvraj was a friendly baby who would bond with everyone, he loved seeing new faces.

One day, as everyone was preparing for Ali and Rita's wedding, Avni got to know that she had to go to London for a couple of days to sign an important deal with the investors. Avni was extremely reluctant on leaving Yuvraj alone for the first time and decided to send someone else. After finally persuading Avni for an hour, Neil huffed and sat on the couch with a thud.

"Par Neil-" Avni tried to speak but got cut off.

"Nahi Avni, please nahi. I don't want to have another hour long conversation on this," Neil whined.

Avni stood there fidgeting with her hands and biting her lower lip. Neil sighed and walked to her.

"Avni dekho na, hum sab yaha hai, Bebe hai, mom hai, Neela na hai, yaha tak ki main bhi. Kabhi na kabhi toh usse durr hona hi hoga na. Sirf 4 din ki toh baat hai, aur agar kuch hua bhi toh main sambhal lunga. Bharosa nahi hai mujhpe?" Neil cupped her face.

"Wo baat nahi hai Neil, main bass," She couldn't complete her sentence as she knew that she was unnecessarily worrying but she couldn't help it, she is a mother after all.

"Kuch nahi hoga," Neil pulled her into a hug and she placed her head on his chest, staring at her children who were peacefully sleeping on the bed.

The day had finally come when Avni had to leave. After placing her bags in the car, she turned around to say goodbye to her family. After hugging everyone one by one, she looked at Yuvraj who was in Shwetha's arms. Avni thought that he would cry but he flashed a wide smile to her and she relaxed. Everyone then went inside and Neil drove Avni to the airport.

Parking the car in front of the departures, he stepped out and took her bags from the back. Neil came to the front only to find Avni who was looking into her bag and making final checks. Neil wrapped his hands around her waist and grabbed her attention.

"Jaldi wapas aana wifey," Neil ordered romantically.

"Okay, jaldi wapas aaongi," Avni replied with the same flirtatious tone.

Neil pulled her in for a kiss while she blushed at her love-sick husband who was kissing her in public. Pulling back, she walked to the gates. After showing her documents to the guard, she walked in and waved at Neil. Neil who was standing against the car, clad in his black t-shirt and track pants with his arms folded over his chest, waved back, sending her a flying kiss.
