Namkaran Season 3 - AvNeil's New Beginning

Chapter 2 - Neil's Marriage

That night, Avni couldn't sleep even for a second. On one hand, she was extremely happy that she was so close to her Neil today. She could smell him, hug him, lay in his arms, and most importantly, talk to him openly, without any fear.

But on the other hand, her heart was sinking at the thought of his marriage tomorrow. She knew that she could have stopped it, but she didn't. And now, she could not stop crying.

After hours of crying silently, she finally hugged Mogli tightly and dozzed off.

The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she couldn't find Mogli by her side. She got terrified at first, but a few seconds later when she turned to face the wall clock, her Jaws dropped, as the hour hand of the clock was touching 1. She slept for almost the entire day!

Getting up with a jolt, when she opened her window, she could see Mogli sitting quietly in the garden bench. She felt sad for him, and decided to give him company. So, she prepared some Poha for both of them, and came to the garden to feed him.

"Mogli, dekho maine tumhare liye kya banaya 😊"

"Pohaa 😍"

"Hmm... Ummmm😘"

Mogli took his plate and started eating quickly.

"Are aram se khao warna gale me atak jaega"

"Mumma aap duniya ki best poha banati ho 😊"

Avni smiled at the innocence of her son, while munching on her own Poha simultaneously.

"Accha Mogli, aap yaha akele baithkar kya kar rahe the?"

"Wo main abhi..."

Mogli stopped right there in the middle of his sentence, and then started eating silently. Avni realised that he is definitely hiding something.

"Ha bolo, aap kya kar rahe the?"

"Kuch nahi, bus khel raha tha thori der"

"Akele akeke khel rahe the?"

"Hmm.. Haan🙄"

"Accha chalo, ab mamma aapke saath khelegi 😊"

"Yayyy😍"

Avni and Mogli played in the garden for around two hours. They played Luka chipi, catch-catch, and many more games. Finally, when Avni got so tired that she was struggling to move, they got inside the house.

Avni spent the rest of the evening working in the kitchen, while Mogli was doing homework. Tomorrow was Monday and he had to go to school. So, Avni made sure to make him eat and sleep on time.

Once Mogli was asleep, Avni went to her study table, and started preparing for her interview. Yes, Neil had informed his friend on time, which was evident from an interview letter that she received on her mail this evening. They had called her at 11 sharp tomorrow morning, and Avni did not want to miss this opportunity, as the salary mentioned in the email was much more than she could have even imagined.

But amidst all these thoughts, one thought was never leaving her mind, even if she tried a lot to divert her mind. She just couldn't forget the fact that Neil was getting married tonight, and probably, right now, as the clock hits 11.

She was desperate to know what was going on there, and was struggling very hard to keep her emotions in control.

Many times, she just couldn't stop her tears from escaping the realms of her eyes. While other times, she had a strong urge to just call Shweta or Bebe once, and ask casually what's going on.

After multiple contemplation, when she lost all her patience, she finally mustered the courage to call Shweta. She dialed Shweta's number and patiently waited for her to pick up the call. The phone kept ringing, but she didn't pick up. But Avni was desperate. So, she dialed again.
