Avni is feeling better now and is going to school after 2 days.
Ayaan why do you come upstairs and then go with Avni. I mean it's difficult for you. Why don't you wait for Avni at the bus stop and I will bring her their?
No uncle its OK. I just take the lift up here so it is not difficult. Also Aunty has told me to look after Avni. I am big you know. I can do it.
Bye Mamma. Bye Papa. Come Ayaan let's go(holding his hand)
Stop I am also coming with you.
Why Papa?
I have some work downstairs Avni.
Ok Papa (holding his hand too)
After sometime Abhimanyu comes back and sits on the dining table. Akshara comes from the kitchen and sits in his lap encircling her arms around his neck.
I saw what you did right now.
What do you mean?
I mean I know why you went with them. You had no work downstairs Abhi.
Akshu what was the need to tell that boy to look after our Avni?
Abhi she was going in the bus for the first time so I didn't want some kids to bully her or irritate her that's why I asked Ayaan to take care. What's wrong in it?
I don't know Akshu. Do you know what all things are shown in the news these days?
Relax Jaan. Look at me and listen to me carefully. You are a daughter's father. I understand your protectiveness but she is just a kid.
But Akshu.
Let me complete. I know we need to be careful but at the same time we can't be present everywhere. She needs to form a circle of her friends and if she doesn't then who will she interact with. You know how Avni was hurt two days back but do you know Ayaan was the only one who knew her address and came to tell me because all other kids were from different blocks.
I understand your point, it's just the feeling in my heart. I don't know. It's just as if Avni is drifting away from me.
She isn't Abhi, she is just growing up. She loves you so much. Do you know how she waits for Sundays so that she can just sleep late hugging you, so that she can just sit in your lap watching her favorite cartoon,and then do all the random things to your hair.
I guess you are right but I don't still like that boy.
Kid Abhi, just like our Avni.
I love you so much (Pecking her lips)
I love you too Abhi. I am hungry. Come let's have breakfast then we will leave. Also we need to talk about whatever you said yesterday.
What is there to talk jaan? I gave you all the reasons.
Are you sure about this Abhi?
Ofcourse Akshu. I don't understand why are you even questioning this? I mean you know everything.
I know Abhi why you are saying this given all that has happened in the 6 years.
Ok listen I will start the paperwork and other things. It takes around 5 or 6 months as I heard. We do have that much time. Right?
Yes ofcourse we have.
Great then let's the do the necessary things first then we can take a final decision but I am very sure about this jaan. You think about it.
Right. Let's leave.
You drive today.
Why?
Because I just want to stare at my beautiful wife which I can't do if I am driving.
