After 1 year.

Avni - Dad why are you not having your breakfast. Eat properly.

Prakash - Avni I already have 4 sandwiches on your insistence. If I will eat more, I will become a balloon. ( huffs ).

Avni - Only 4 sandwiches and you are done.

Prakash - Hein !! ( shocked ). Avni you also sit and have your breakfast. Why aren't you eating anything ?

Avni - I don't want to eat dad. Let me bring a coffee for you.

She was about to go but Prakash stops her and made her sit on the chair.

Avni - Dad ...

Dad - Now, no more arguments. Have something.

Avni didn't ate. Prakash took sandwich and started feeding her from his hands. Avni can't deny her father so she started eating without any argument.

Prakash - I know you are nervous as it's your first exhibition and inauguration of your art gallery.

Avni - And your son is not here. ( crosses her arms ).

Prakash chuckles.

Avni - He knows very well that I get my courage from him but his mission isn't coming to an end.

Prakash - Don't worry bacha. You will perform well. You have given your best in arrangements, so you will get a perfect output. Don't worry. ( smiles ).

Avni - Hope so. ( sighs ). Neil isn't picking up my calls.

Prakash - Maybe he is busy.

Avni - Atleast he can talk to me for few seconds. I will feel good. ( sad face ).

Prakash - Avni you know very well that it is Neil's dream to see your success. He will be the happiest when he will get to know that his wifey's exhibition was huge success and he is coming after 1 week, don't worry.

Avni - ( sighs ) Still, my first exhibition without him is incomplete but I will make him proud. ( smiles ).

Prakash - That's like my daughter. ( smiles ). Go get ready, after that we will go to art gallery and will complete the pending arrangements.

Avni nods and went inside her room.

Avni - Please comeback soon Neil, I want to give one more happy news. ( smiles ).

She caress her stomach gently.

Avni - Just few more days then you would be able to listen to your father's voice as well. ( smiling ). Today he is not present beside me so please give your mother enough strength to deal with her nervousness.

She got ready and went downstairs. Prakash was waiting for her in the car. They drove towards art gallery.

Avni completed the pending arrangements and decorated the art gallery with balloons and other decorative materials as it was inauguration ceremony of her gallery.

Soon the ribbon was cut by Prakash as Avni wanted that this auspicious ceremony is performed by her father and supporter.

Soon the media and clients came inside as Prakash have helped her in setting up some contacts so that her business can flourish.

Avni went to stage for giving a welcoming speech.

Avni - Good morning everyone present here. ( smiles warmly ). I welcome you all in my art gallery  "AVNEIL". Avneil ( smiles ), this word gives me immense pleasure because the person with whom I am sharing my name is not only the love of my life but also my inspiration, my role model, my support system, my husband, my Neil. ( smiling ). He picked me up from those mournful and darkest lanes in which I was lying broken and have lost myself to some disgusting particles. He helped me in finishing that darkness, he helped me in rising from that cold hard ground. Everyone gave up on me at a very tender age but I guess when everyone rejects you then God becomes your saviour and send guardian angel in your life who accept you against this world. Same is my case. I was accepted by two strong relations who were or I must say who are strong enough to fight against this world for me, they are my father Prakash Khanna and my husband Neil Khanna. I want to thank you both for bringing the happiness and love in my life, for helping me in every aspect of my life. If today I am standing infront of you all and delivering this speech that too in my complete senses then its credit goes to my father and husband. My father is sitting here only, smiling within tears after seeing his daughter's progress but my husband wasn't able to join me. ( sighs ). I know he will be the happiest if he will see my success. So, I want to announce that my first collection is based on the topic, "How we get a ray of hope when we loose our own selves". This topic is very special to me cos it not only reflects my life history, it also represents the very first painting I made after years of struggles and how I got my motivation in form of my first customer. So, you all can proceed towards the displayed paintings. I will be waiting for your reviews. Thank you all. ( smiling ).
