Avneil FF

Chapter 44

In the next few days, neelama had her preoperative workup. The whole family had rallied to support her and pray for her. Neelamas surgery was scheduled and it went well. She had no post op complications. After surgery, the doctor opined that she'd need chemotherapy too. As soon as she took the first cycle of chemo neela was hit by side effects. She had a lot of nausea/vomiting, fatigue. She had no appetite either. And just after the first cycle itself she had hair loss too.All of them could only watch sadly as she suffered the side effects of the drugs. Avni stayed rock solid by her mother through it all. And Neil watched with pride and affection how she had taken control of the situation. But he was also incredibly worried too...in this whole process over the last 5-6 weeks avni was neglecting herself. She was balancing her work and taking care of neelama. She would work overtime to compensate for the days that she missed due to being at the hospital with her mother. And in the process of all this, she was completely rundown- she had lost weight, she had dark circles from getting barely any sleep. And all Neil was very concerned. Neelama had finished 2 cycles of chemo. She had 2 more to go. So far things had gone smoothly. Neil was visiting neelama at home after her 2nd cycle.Neil- ma, kaise ho aap?Neelama- I'm ok. Neil- khaana khaya?Ma- haan, Teri Hitler biwi ne zabardasti khilaya. Abhi bhi kitchen main kuch healthy bana rahi hai she said making a face.Neil chuckledMa- Neil...mujhe fikar ho rahi haiNeil- immediately- ma, aap tension mat lo. Sab thik hoga...abhi bas 2 aur chemo Bache hai. Bas uske baad you'll be fit and fine. Just stay positive.Ma- nahi, mujhe apne treatment ki fikar nahi, avni ki fikar ho rahi hai ..Neil hmmed in agreement.Ma- Neil, she's overworked, stressed out...woh mere chakkar main apna dhyaan bilkul nahi rakh rahi hai...Neil- I am also worried ma...but uss se baat karne jaaonga to voh bhadak jaayegi!Neela smiled- arey, Mera supercop apni wifey see darta hai Kya?Neil- of course! Vaise hi kaafi daant khaata Hoon, zabardasti aur nahi padwani hai!Both of them chuckled!They were joking around but they were both worried for the girl who was the light of both their lives.Neelama- Neil, I'm feeling ok. My side effects are much less this time....so I'll convince her....just plan something special today to get her to relax.Neil- ok ma. He said and left.So later that day, neelama after much effort managed to successfully convince her to go home and relax. Avni left after she got Aman andadhvi tai to come over and stay overnight.When avni came home she was surprised to see that their room had dim lighting with fragrant candles. Neil pulled her in and closed the door behind her. The A.C was adjusted to a comfortable temperature and he turned on some soft music. Avni- Neil, ye sab Kya hai?Neil- good evening madam. welcome to Khanna spa! A special appointment has been made for you today....we have a wide array of services available. I'm sure after your appointment you will feel extremely relaxed!Avni- smiled at him- hmmm...let's see. That's for me to say based in the services you provide.Neil- of course madam. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.Avni- so what service would you recommend I take?Neil- hmm...I'd suggest that you get a nice hot oil massage of your scalp and also perhaps a foot message.. but I'm happy to fulfil any other requirements too.Avni- both excellent suggestions. Neil- let's get started then?Avni- sure. Why don't I change into something more comfortable firstNeil- of course madam.Avni- quickly changed into her jammies and a tank top.Neil- please take a seat ma'am. Would you like some coffee while I get things ready?Avni- yes please! She said happily enjoying this role play with her husband....and Neil's coffee was her absolute favorite!Neil immediately handed her a mug of his special frothy coffee with a smiley on top.Avni- took a sip and hmmed in satisfactionNeil just smiled at her and arranged the seating for her, got the oil ready for her massage and warm water to soak her feet.Once avni had savored her coffee she settled down on the cushioned seat with back rest. Her feet rested in the tub with warm water.Neil undid her hairclip and brushed her hair lightly with a wide toothed comb.And then he began his champi...he applied hot oil on her scalp and gently massaged it into her roots applying the right amount of pressure. He also massaged her neck and shoulders. He rubbed her arms and stretched out her fingers. He finished up with her scalp once again and covered her hair with a shower cap and a warm wet towel. Then he made her lie fully down on the seat and sat at the foot end. He picked up her feet onto his lap and towel dried it. Then he used a pumice stone to rub her feet. Once he was done with that, he used the moisturizer to gently massage her feet. His nimble hands worked their magic on avni and she sighed in satisfaction. Once he was done, he made her wear socks and then had her sit up once again. Neil- ok madam...let's head to the bathroomAvni just followed him in a trance. He made her sit on a stool placed in front of the washbasin and asked her to lean back. He then proceeded to shampoo her hair thoroughly like a professional parlor aunty! Once done, he towel dried her hair and then used a blow dryer too.Avni- was thoroughly relaxed now. She was overwhelmed with how sweet and amazing Neil was. He was thoroughly pampering her and she was feeling incredibly relaxed now.Avni- I must say, your services were excellent sir. This has been the best spa experience of my life! Neil- why thank you! I hope you'll recommend it to other friends of yours too...he teased herAvni- moved closer- definitely......NOT! Your services were so excellent that I've decided to hire you as my personal masseuse. So from now on you have only one client... ME!Neil- is that so? He said with a raised eyebrow...Avni- hmm...she moved closer, wrapped her arms around him and said- n I'll offer you the best payment too...you deserve it after all! she said in a husky whisper and closed the gap pecking his lips.Neil responded equally...smiling into the kissAs they broke apart Neil said- you were right ma'am , this is the best payment! Please mujhe permanent employee banalijiye na...Avni giggled and pulled him into another kiss!

As they both lay in bed later that evening after dinner , suddenly Avnis phone rang and on the other end was Amans panicky tone- Di, come to hospital immediately!
