At the hospital-
Neil was pacing back& forth outside the ICU when the doc came out
N-doc hows my wife& the baby?
She 5month pregnant
The doc's face looked dull indicating that some bad news is awaiting AvNeil
The silence was killing neil from inside
N-doc plz say something
D-mr khanna.....
(Long pause)
You are very lucky that instead of collapsing on the floor, your wife just sat back near the bed with a thud
N(still worried)- what do you mean doc?
Your wife& the baby are absolutely safe
Neil hieved a huge sigh of relief
N-can i meet her?
D-ya sure
She will gain conciousness in a while as well
With that, the doc left &neil entered the room
Seeing avni in this state, neil's eyes filled with tears of guilt who were on the verge of spilling down
He sat beside her bed
Avni was still unconscious
N-im sorry avni
Tumhari& baby ki safety meri responsibility thi but men usse acche se nhi nibha paya- agar men thoda jaldi ghar phoch jata toh ye sab hota hi nhi
He was resting his head on the edge of the bed
The nurse comes& sends neil out as she had to do avni's dressing
After dressing-
Avni slowly gained conciousness &in a dull, weak tone spoke only 1word- neil...
Neil was sitting on the chair outside with his head sinking in his hands when nurse came out& asked- aapka naam neil h?
N-yes
Patient aapko bula rhi h
Neil barged into the room
He was so glad that avni had finally gained conciousness
The nurse left to give them some privacy
A-nee...il.. neil men....
N-ssshh tumhe kuch kehne ki zarurat nhi h
A-neil men gir gyi thi toh hum..humara...baccha?
Neil tried to avoid eye contact
N-avni u need rest(trying to divert the topic)
A-neil plz btao na hmara baby theek h ya phir..... her eyes welled up& she was about to cry
Neil immediately hugged her
N-humara baby bilkul theek h
Dont cry
He kisses her forehead
He knew that shes in a state where she can get emotional at anything& everything
Avni felt so relieved that their baby was safe& sound
She caressed her abdomen& smiled
N(in extremely angry tone)- par muje tumse koi baat nhi krni
How can you be so careless?
You are 5months pregnant & you neglected your meals?
Kuch serious hojata toh?
Avni kept her hands on her ears& made puppy face
A-sorry?
Plz muje maaf krdo??
Aage se esa kabi nhi hoga
Neil knew he cant stay angry with avni for long while avni was again becoming emotional
N-hey!
Avni!
Plz dont cry!
You know that i cant see tears in your eyes
He hugs her again &her sobs slow down
**Time lapse of 1week***
Avni was now discharged &AvNeil were back home
Neil had taken complete care of avni in the hospital
