Chapter 26

Night time

Neil went back to his home and saw Avni arranging dinner for them. He went from behind and engulfed her in a warm hug. He place his chin on her shoulder and nuzzles in the nape of her neck. Avni closes her eyes in anticipation.

Avni - Neil...what are you doing... ( hitched breathe ).

Neil - Romancing with my girl. You have any problem. ( husky voice ).

Avni - Neil...

Neil - Hmm ( still nuzzling her neck ).

Avni - Leave me baba.

Neil - Okay fine. ( pouts ).

He turns her around and made her face him.

Avni - How was your day ?

Neil - You made my morning beautiful and when morning was great then the day was best. ( smiles ).

Avni - You go and freshen up after that we will have our dinner.

Neil nods and left. After sometime he comes and sits there. Avni was about to serve him but he made her sit and served both of them.

Neil - Where is dad ?

Avni - He has an important meeting so he called me for informing that he will come late and have dinner with his clients.

Neil - Okay. After dinner we are going somewhere.

Avni - Again. What's going on  in your devilish brain ?

Neil chuckles.

Neil - You will get to know this pretty soon to be wifey. ( winks at her ).

Avni - You know sometimes I get scared.

Neil - Scared of what ?

Avni - So much happiness after a long time always scares me Neil. Sometimes I feel like as if you are showering all that love and care on me that was missing in my childhood and seeing my past I always ends up thinking what if it's a temporary happiness.

Neil - Don't you dare to think about that. Avni, I know your past keeps on haunting you but you need to face it like you faced Dayavanti in the morning.

He cups her cheeks and plants a soft kiss on her forehead.

Neil - You know why are you feeling happy ?

Avni - Cos you are filling my life with happiness.

Neil - Wrong.

Avni gets confuse.

Neil - You are feeling happy because you are giving yourself a chance.

Avni - A chance. ( confused )

Neil - Chance to break all those walls that clenches your inner peace, chance to fight against each and everything that bothers you, chance to connect with your hidden self, chance to explore the unknown phases, chance to fill your own life with happiness.

Avni smiles.

Neil - You are happy cos you want to be. I know this fear is somewhere bothering you but we will cross this rough patch as well. I promise I will give you the life you dreamt of since  your childhood.

Avni - You already gave me that fairy tale life Neil and you are my knight in shiny armour.

Neil hugs her.

Neil - And you are my everything.

He breaks the hug and feeds her food with his hands and she also did the same.
