If she hated him again?

The army.

"I think that we should be sending Papa, Bebe, Shweta Ma and Mowgli away." Avni said, coming out of the hospital room along with Neil. "I've been thinking the same for a while. But vo manega nahi." He replied.

"We need to force him into this." She said swiftly. She was thinking something else. Neil recognised her very well. The way her eyes were roaming around, something was on her mind. "Lets take him first, maybe he's a bit low at the moment." She suggested before Neil could say Don't think about one of your ever working yet dangerous strategies.

They took Mowgli home and laid him on the bed. Obviously his face was sullen so Avni just chirped "OH MY GOD!" Neil looked at her who was pointing at the walls.

Mowgli passed a look like Not an hour before she was crying and broken and now..

Neil looked at her cluelessly. She came near him. Neil was happy thinking that she was about to kiss him so when she was dangerously close enough he whispered "Mowgli bhi hai...Baad mei?" Avni hit him on the chest and his arms and Neil's expression was like This is not what I expected.

"You dork! You said you'll get the walls painted in some bright colours and they're still not done! I want them according to me! Right now! Or Khanna you won't receive my talks or any of this intimacy for one, no, two months!" She chided him while the last line was enough to threaten Neil. He immediately ran to a room decor shop to get the colours of her choice.

He barged in the rooms where Avni and Mowgli were playing. She looked at him. He was panting heavily, his eyes widened. "The threat won't happen now right?" He asked in fear.

"Obedient hubby." Avni said and patted his shoulder so heavily, he almost dropped the bucket.

Avni looked at Mowgli out of the corner of her eyes. He was damn interested in painting, atleast he was happy now. That's what she wanted.

"Can I join you guys?" He asked. Avni nodded happily and picked him, while Neil snatched him from her reminding her of her pregnancy and the Badhai ho baby on board.

They emptied the walls as Mowgli slashed the first stroke of a bright yellow behind the bed. Neil joined and did almost quickly. He was scared of that threat.

Avni went down, to get food for her and her boys. So dark, she muttered and was about to turn on the lights when she was pinned to the pillar. "Neil is that you?" She asked in a small voice. Sensing a sharp, cold object which she immediately recognised as a weapon. She tried to kick the person, but that one was strong for her. Her pregnancy was making it difficult for her to pull off such stunts. Her head almost smashed to the pole she yelled for him.

Neil heard her high pitched voice and went down, hurriedly. Avni was standing, panting heavily, looking scared, a vase in her hand. Neil looked at what she was staring.

"Who's this?" He asked, staring at the person. She hugged him in relief. "I....I don't..k.. know. He just attacked on me, a..and I hit him mistakenly. I swear I didn't do it deliberately. I... I'm s..sorry. Please trust me." She sobbed in his chest.

He broke apart and rubbed her tears. "I do." He whispered and knelt near the person to check his breathing. "He's alive." Neil said. Avni's face was swept with relief. Neil picked him through his shirt and threw him in the storeroom.

"I bet this was one of Dayawanti's man." He said. "And I found this phone." He said. They checked for some useful information and were so happy when they found one.
"Are you okay?" Neil asked, touching her stomach as well. She nodded but due to the rough contact with the pole, her skin there was somewhat scraped off.

The doorbell rang and Neil opened it. A group of young people stood there and Neil smiled seeing them.

Ali, Akash, Aladdin, Kia, Riya, Another man whom they didn't know and
"Mitali!" Avni exclaimed, clenching her fists.

Ali came and hugged her. "Thank God you're alive.' He said. "Tujhe kya laga if you wouldn't tell us that Daayanwanti is alive, we won't come?" Aladdin asked, twisting her ear.

Avni knew where this was going.

"You can't risk your lives for me." She said sternly. "No one's asked you." They said. "Who's this?" She asked pointing to the young man. "My son." Aladdin said proudly. "Shekhar." He said and came forward and shook her hand like a gentle man.

"There's no way we're risking his life." Avni said. "He's an agent Avni. We need him." Riya said. "Oh please! Supporting your grandmother." Avni snapped. "Avni she's changed. I guarantee that on my part. After all, she's my girlfriend." Ali said. Avni looked like she'd been......

"Give her some space people. She's not in that condition." Neil said, tugging her towards him.

"Party? Mere bina?" Mowgli exclaimed, coming down. "Your?" Ali asked, smiling.

He knelt down to hug him. "Oh ho. Noodles ki yaad diladi." He said, twisting his fingers in his hair.

"This isn't a joke." She yelled. Neil held her.

"We're in this together." Ali said and they said that they'll meet tomorrow and went.

"See this is our army." Neil said. "You're not understanding Neil." She said. "How can we be trusting Riya, Mitali and his son?" She asked. Riya might be just using Ali. Mitali may have known Daya was alive, when she tricked me into this before. And his son might be nothing but leaking our info there." She said.

"Then there's only one way to find out." Neil said.
"But first Avni Khanna needs to see the room that's prepared for her and my baby needs sheer rest." He said, coming closer and kissing her while Mowgli closed his eyes saying "Kahi par bhi shuru ho jaate ho."
