Realisation

"Waise aap ki beti kya karti h?"
Swetha asked breaking her silence.
Joydeep: She did BBA but not interested in buisiness. Sari wakth social services karti rehti h( sarcasm).
Prakash: That's very good. Mene usse kabhi mila nahi kisi din sath le ana.
Joydeep smiled

In Hospital.
Avni was reading something.
Neil: Avni..
Avni: yes?
Neil: Something has gotten into my eyes...
Neil struggled to open his eyes.
Avni Comes closer to Neel and holds his face.
Avni: Dikhao.
She blows in his eyes.
Avni: There's nothing Neil.
Neel: par mujhe itching horaha he. Please look again.

She again blows. Neel stare at her. On a sudden rise of emotion he wrap her with his hands
" I love you Avni.."
Avni is very angry. She free herself and slap him. THUD!!
With a shock Neel opens his eyes. He sighs.
Neil: oh.. it was just a dream.. and what kind of dream is this?
He facepalm himself.
" And Avni Slapped me..? me, the Neil Khanna ko slap?...shit. What kind of proposal was that! Worst. I may be hallucinating all these due to medicine."

Vidyut's office. Balu comes to Vidyut. Balu: Sir, I enquired in the hospital. In Hospital records, Neil is admitted due to normal food infection and they haven't involved police. Pata nahi kyu aisa kiya h. Is this some misunderstanding?
Vidyut: That's fine. Even they suspect
anything unnatural, they won't involve police. There will be much complications. They are not
citzens of that country and moreover it happened in flight.
Balu: Which means, we don't need to worry?
Vidyut: Of course.

Avni is in the office of flight company with Barun.
Barun: we kept this incident secret otherwise it
might have affected your reputation and also things will get complicated.
Avni: We are just asking for an identification parade. Please coorprate with us otherwise we need to involve police. Authorised officer: We can allow all those things through a proper channel only. Sorry.
Barun: Atleast could you share the list of staff present in that flight.
Officer: Fine. Let me check.
He showed them the details of staff with photographs.
Avni: sir.. Are you sure no one is left behind?
Officer: why?
Avni to Barun: The AH who served us food is not in this list.
Officer: what?
***
Finally they got a chance to meet one Airhostess.
AH: actually I couldn't
board on that flight that day. Someone had locked me in wash room.

Officer: what? Then why didn't you report it earlier? AH: Sorry sir. I..
Avni: Did you see that person

who locked you? AH: It was a girl but i don't remember her face.

Avni and Barun returned to hospital.
Avni to Barun: This happened in
Mumbai Airport. There must be cctv footages from which we can find it.

Barun: Fine... but for that we have to report this incident. That would be better.

Avni: No Dr., What if that person is very influential? I don't think this was done by any unprofessional culprit. What if he react? For the
time being, Let him believe that we are unknown to his plans.
Barun: Fair enough. Let me ask you something?
Avni: Yes
Barun: You really sounds like a... detective sometimes?
Avni smiles Barun also smiles.
They enter into Neil's room
Neel: (happy to see Avni)Avni, where were you ?
Avni: Airport. We got our luggages.

She put their bags on corner of the room.
Neil: How did you manage it all alone?
Barun: Akele kaha? I went with her.

Neel's face become dull and Barun noticed it.
Dr. Barun check the reports.
Barun: Now, we can start oral diet. If he is tolerating it, Let's plan discharge within 2 days.
Neil: (with dissappointment) Itni jaldi? Avni and Barun are surprised by Neil's reaction.
Neel quickly added: No, I was just saying that...Jitni jaldi ho sake discharge dedo.
Barun ask Avni : Avni, can you

please wait outside. I have to check him. Avni nodes and leaves.
Barun smiles at Neil.
Barun: I think you liked our hopital very much right? You don't even want
to discharge.
Neil: No..nothing like that.
Barun:Then you are probably liking the idea of someone taking care of you.
Neel blushes.
Barun examine Neil's body.
Barun: Are you dating her?
Neel:(blushing) We aren't! Actually... we are not very close.
Barun: So... are you planning to bring her closer?
Neil looked at Dr with surprise.
Barun: To be frank, she worth it. I like her.
Neil: Sorry? Neil asked in terror.

Barun: Just kidding. Enjoy! Dr Barun gives a naughty smile and leaves.

Neil: sab ko dikhta he kya? Is it that obvious? Does she feel it too?
Neil ran his hands over his hair.

Avni comes to Neil with some water.
Avni: Neel, this is for you. Just slow sips ok?
Neil: Ok.
He tries to get up from bed Avni soon comes and help him.
Neil looks at her but she has a straight face.
Neil in mind: She is helping me but do she really care for me or is it just a compulsion? Avni gives him water. Avni: Drink it slowly, otherwise you may feel nausia. He drinks and suddenly he start to cough.
Avni: aaram se.... She pated his back.
Neil again looks into her eyes.
"I cannot understand what is in her mind. Her eyes are so beautiful but they are successful in hiding her emotions. What to do?" Neil thinks.

Then Nurse brings a bowl of soup and leaves. There is a canula on Neil's right hand so he take the spoon in his left hand and try to have soup. Avni notices it and say: Neil, may I?
She is about to take the spoon.
Neil in mind: ha bolu ya na bolu? What should I tell her? Will do one thing. I will say no and when she insists will say yes.
Neil: Its ok Avni, I will manage.
Avni: okay. She turns back.
Neil in mind: just ok? Why she didn't ask again? He is dissappointed and tries to drink soup and it spills from the spoon.
Avni smiles.
Avni: Jab tumse nahi ho payega to ye nakhra kyu dikha rahe ho? Lao, mujhe dedo.

She takes the spoon and soup bowl and she wipes neel's lips with her hands. Though she did it in a casual way, Neel is surprised and mesmerised.
Avni: what? Now have it. .
She starts to feed him.
Neil: ouch!
Avni: is it hot? Neil nodes.
Avni: oh, sorry.
She blows into soup and again feed him. He stares at her & have the soup mechanically. His mind is busy in penetrating deep into Avni's eyes. He didn't realise he finished the soup and opens mouth again. Avni
smiles seeing it and feed him with empty spoon. Neel doesn't realise it as well. He swallows & open mouth again cutely. Avni burst into laughter. Neel just admires her laughter.
Avni: Neil....
She makes sound with spoon and bowl to bring him from his stance.
Avni: Day dreaming ha..?
Neil smiles lovingly looking at Avni.
Neil in mind:
"This is love... yes... I am loving her. It's crystal clear. I want to be with her whole my life, looking at her smiling face. Oh God... this is... unreal... I so want to shout it to the world that... I love her.. I love Avni.."
