*******************

" Neil, you go to the room and rest, I am here with her." Avni says this to Neil, sitting next to Aaira Neil is applying cold water compress on her forehead so that her fever subsides.

Aaira wakes up to the worried voices of her parents, upon which Avni gives her medicine, under the influence of which Aaira goes back to sleep but her fever is not subsiding so both of them are putting a cold water compress on her forehead.

" No, I am fine, I will not go anywhere until her fever subsides." Neil replies to Avni and again puts another cold compress on Aaira forehead and Avni looks at him.

Avni looks at Aaira, she had told her not to take so much stress, but this girl does not listen to her, she ruined her health by taking unnecessary stress.

" Avni, you are speaking the truth...was the only reason that you told me due to which Mannat was in a bad mood?" Neil asks in doubt because he cannot believe the reason he has found out, his daughter cannot be so sad over such a small matter that one of her school classmates has come to her college.

" haan Neil, and you can talk to her yourself tomorrow morning if you don't trust me." Avni says, and it's okay sometimes parents have to lie for their children and she doesn't tell the truth because she knows that after knowing the real reason, Neil will not spare that innocent Reyansh.

" It is not a matter of trust, I trust you but I don't like seeing her like this...that's why I'm asking." says Neil

" Don't worry, her fever will go down by tomorrow morning." she says and thus the night passes.

It is morning and Neil is still awake sitting next to Aaira. Avni had fallen asleep in a sitting position during the night, so Neil makes Avni sleep in a comfortable position next to Aaira.

Right now he himself is sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at Aaira. He sees how his daughter's face has turned pale.

Neil changes cold compresses on her forehead throughout the night and her fever subsides now completely, but seeing her condition Neil decides that he will do what his daughter wants, If she wants to change her college then he will get her college changed because he doesn't want to see her in this condition again.

He gets up from the bed and removes the room curtain to let the morning light spread its fresh and positive energy into the room.

But as soon as Neil removes the curtains, Avni wakes up and finds herself close to Aaira who is cuddle up her mother.

She smiles and the first thing she does is move her hand to her forehead where she checks if she still has fever or not and she takes a sigh of relief when she doesn't have a fever.

She separates Aaira from herself and then gets up and sits on the bed

" Good morning wifey." Neil wishes Avni, standing near the window, when he sees that his wife has woken up.

Avni looks at Neil and seeing him in the room and looking at his eyes she understands that he did not sleep the whole night due to worry, she sighs at his actions.

But before she could say anything to him, both of them see some movement in Aaira

"Mom, please close the curtains." Like every day, Aaira makes the same demand from her mother, hearing which Avni and Neil do nothing but smile.

" she is fine now." Avni tells Neil who now comes and sits on the bed in front of her

" Hmm...By the way, my good morning wish." Neil says to Avni showing his cheek to which Avni glares at him
