Avneil FF

Chapter 50

Avni determinedly shook herself out of her worries and decided to set up another surprise to manaofy her husband. She just hoped that he would forgive her. Meanwhile Neil was chilling in his room waiting to see what his ajooba of a wifey would do next. He was surprised she hadn't called his bluff yet but he was enjoying the attention. He was relaxing in their bedroom but avnis phone had been buzzing. He took a look at it and saw some texts from Aman. Soon her phone rang and he picked it up.Neil- helloAman- oh hi jeeju! How are you?Neil- good good saale Saab. What about you? How was your sibling trip to lonavala?Aman- it was fun, didn't know my sister was so spontaneous! But aapke absence ka mujhe faayda hogaya coz I got to hang out with her more than usual! Neil- haan haan kaafi Bhai behen bonding horahi hai!Aman- haha! Trying....vaise di zyaada tar dukhi aatma banke ghumti rahti hai without you. I was just trying to distract her. We have been binge watching Netflix shows! But it took seeing your Jeep outside today when we came back for her to finally look happy....aur Jo Usain bolt ki tarah bhaagi hai voh aapko dekhne! Hahaha. Anyway she forgot to take her wallet which was in my bag. Tell her to stop by on her way to work tomm and take it from me ok.Neil's heart swelled up as he listened to one more person confirm how much his absence affected avni. First his mom told him and now Aman too was telling him how much avni missed him...he suddenly felt a little bad for the drama he was doingAman- hello jeeju?Neil - haan boloAman- so tell di to collect her wallet later ok.Neil- ok. Aman- what are you guys up to?Neil- nothing much. I am just enjoying the attention. I am pretending to be angry at her and enjoying the Seva !Aman- haha! Zyada lamba mat khicho aapke drama ko.Neil- ok saale Saab. As he said it he looked up and saw avni standing at the door with an angry shocked expression.Neil- shit,I think she heard me say I am acting!He saw avni shake her head disappointedly and run back out of the room.Neil- Aman, I'll call you back. He hung up and ran behind avniHe saw her run up to the terrace and followed herAs he entered he was blown away!It was decorated with serial lights reading "sorry". There was a table placed in the center with a few candles and a gift bag on it. And there was also dessert- Marie biscuits with Nutella spread and gems on it also reading out sorry.She had done all this for him so quickly! And now she was standing on the terrace corner facing away from him.Neil ran up to her and pulled her to himself. she resisted him but Neil was stronger. He turned her to face him.Neil- avni....avni i am sorry. Please maaf kardo. I was just playing around....Avni was standing with her arms crossed, struggling to move away, not saying a wordNeil did not let go though. He had a tight hold on her and tried againNeil- avni, please look at me....I am really sorry I know I shouldn't have acted like I was upset. Main sirf mazak Kar Raha tha....Avni struggled to move away and in the process he got a look at her face and noticed her tearing up...that caught him offguard.He expected her to be angry but not tearing up.Neil- avni....Kya hua? He said dabbing away her tears gently. I know you're angry, but why are you crying? I am really sorry baby....look at me, temme what's wrong. Kuch aur baat hai Kya? Avni was silent though, not saying a word but she wiped away stray tears roughly with the back of her handNeil hugged her forcefully and whispered sorry into her ears trying to calm her down.He drew back and forced her to look at him and said-Avni, please talk to me. Tum gussa ho mujhse toh chillao. Daant lo. Please aise chup mat raho. And why are you crying?I swear it was a joke. I didn't realize you would get so upset...avni....he shook her gently.Avni- wiped her tears and sniffed. She finally met his gaze.Neil- held his ear and said- sorry. Please talk to me.Avni- in a monotone- there's nothing to say. I am sorry I wasn't at home when you came. I did not know you were coming home early. Anyway table pe Jo hai, tumhaare liye hai. Dekh lo. Let me go sleep.Neil- avni...sorry na. I was only joking because I love it when you give me attention....it's not always that I get to have you run behind me na..This got avni to look at him again.Neil- please maaf kardo.Avni- just nodded. Ok fine.Neil let out a sigh of relief and hugged her once again. A few seconds later he let go.Avni forced a smile back on her face and said - do you want to see your gifts?Neil smiled back at her and they headed to the table.Neil- I am impressed wifey. Tumne itni jaldi sab arrange kiya...Avni- zyada nahi tha. Sirf lighting aur dessert abhi kiya. Baaki ke gifts toh maine lonavala Mai hi khareede theNeil opened the bags and found a really sweatshirt and some chikki.Avni- voh yeh special oats vaali chikki hai...kyunki tumhe peanuts se allergy hai. And I got this sweatshirt coz you don't have this color Neil was speechless....he was always left shocked at her little gestures of thoughtfulness. It showed how much she thought about him. Like now, even though she was on a trip with her brother she had remembered to get him something....he couldn't eat the famous lonavala chikki because it had peanuts but she had found him an oats chikki! He was amazed at just how considerate she always was. He felt lucky to have her...she always made him feel loved with these little things. She wasn't the most expressive with words all the time though she had been much better at that too since he first met her.Neil- thank you so much avni! I love it. He said pecking her cheek and excitedly he tried on the sweatshirt and then opened the chikki to sample it. Ummm...yummy. this is awesome. He said chewing on the treat!Avni smiled back at him although in the back of her mind his words about "enjoying her attention" and "not often that she ran behind him" were still eating at her.She was happy that he was not really angry or upset but she was still a little worried that maybe she wasn't doing enough for him, she wasn't good enough or caring enough...that maybe she had got too pre occupied with her work. She did not ever want to repeat her father's mistakes. She was lost in her thoughtsNeil snapped a finger in front of her- Kya hua, kahan kho gayi?Avni- nothing. she said weakly smiling at him.Neil saw that she was looking like she was thinking about something. Her smile didn't reach her eyes so he tried to distract her- Chalo yeh dessert bhi kha lete hai.He picked up the Nutella laden biscuit and fed her a bite before eating some himself and licking the chocolate off his fingers. Neil- I love this creation of yours . Quick but yummy. Jisne bhi Nutella invent Kiya usko toh Nobel prize milna chahiye I swear! He exclaimed Avni just smiled at his enthusiasm Soon they headed back in and settled in bed snuggling contentedly with each other.
