Avneil FF

Chapter 6

Once they were back from the family trip to Mahabaleshwar they had to settle into the regular routine. Neel was back to work and avni was giving neela a helping hand with the NGO. She was auditing the NGO expenditure and also making an inventory to help Neela. But on the side she was also looking at job opportunities. Now that she felt like things were back in place she wanted to get back to work because she always wanted to be an independent career woman. She got caught up with revenge and subsequently all the other drama that happened. But now she wanted to look for a job and get back to her passion. And now with neel in her life she was feeling very inspired to write as well. Infact she was secretly back to penning her thoughts again. Like in the past she was devoting an hour a day to writing. Sometimes it was just personal writing but now she had the seed of an idea for a script as well and she wanted to develop it. She also thought about talking to Neel about her career aspirations. She knew he would be supportive because he was neel khanna but avni wanted to make him a part of all her decisions. But she also wanted to tell him after she had something substantial like an interview call. She had actually started looking and applying even when the whole chuhi drama happened Just as a distraction from all the drama but she hadn't followed up on it. It had been 10 days since their family trip and Avni was busy with NGO work and Neel had a new case. He was working long hours and only had time to have an early breakfast with Avni and then to sleep next ti her at night. But he made it a point to come home every night and they always held each other and slept.But this weekend both avneil were looking to spend some more quality time together since Neel had wrapped up his latest case and Avni also was done with NGO work. Plus she wanted to talk to him about an interview call that she had received. SO when Friday night rolled around both Avneil were very excited and looking forward to just being together. Neel came home earlier than usual. He was back by 6pm and avni was also just back from the NGO. Both of them pulled in their cars at the same time and excitedly jumped out of it to run upto each other

Neel gave her a warm hug and said- thank god wifey weekend hai!

Avni- I know she exclaimed!

They broke out of the hug and walked into the house hand in hand.

When they got home it was unusally quiet. When they asked bheema she said prakash had gone for office work to Bangalore and bebe had received news of the death of some family friend so she had gone to Chandigarh and shweta had decided to accompany her. They had left a note because they knew both avni and neil were busy with work. Everyone was going to return only on Sunday evening.

Neel looked positively thrilled at the prospect of having alone time with wifey.

He looked at Avni raising his eyebrows suggestively with a naughty smirk on his face- Wifey dear lagta hai bhagwaan ne bhi meri sunli. Its just you and me! And he pulled her closer by the waist!

Avni- Neel , tumhaara dimaag ne humesha ek hi track pe rahta hai na. She was trying to wriggle out of his hold but he only tightened his grip on her.

Neel- that's true. Policewaala hun na, toh main apne missions aur cases ko le ke bahut focussed hoon! he said with twinkling eyes and a mischevious grin

Avni- accha she teased him. Even though neel was excited aout alone time she had seen him carefully. He had dark circle sunder his eyes, he looked really tired and she knew that he had been working very hard last 2 weeks. So she said- Ok mr husband, since we have all the time till Sunday evening, abhi tum jao freshen up karlo. I have a surprise for you!

Neel- Surprise, kya baat hai wifey! Kya hai? He asked eagerly

Avni- mr.supercop, have patience. If I tell you, how is it a surprise?!

Neel- ok fine he said and went up to freshen up.

Avni meanwhile set her things down in the living room, took a quick shower in the guest room changed into her pajamas and decided to make her husband her famous hot chocolate. It was one thing that she always whipped up very well. She had some secret ingredients which she added to it and she had always used it as a stress buster rigjt from her college days and she was sure neel would like it. She also decided to whip up some snacks for him. SO she made bread pakoda which again she was very good at. She had always had very limited cooking skills but after her time in jail she was a bit better now because she had got a nack of all the regular khaana and also proprtions of how to add condiments etc.
