The Silent Cinderella (Completed)

Chapter-23

Few days passed. Neil started taking Avni to the speech therapist.

" Mr. Khanna I must say your wife is making a very good progress with her therapy. " the therapist who is around 50 years old lady said while Avni smiled to it.

" Your next session is on this Weekend. Go the receptionist and make necessary arrangements. All the very best young man. Soon your wife will be speaking to you nonstop and you will be begging her to stop." The therapist quipped.

" I will never do that. I want her to talk to me nonstop and I will have all my ears lend to her to hear all what she wants to tell. " Neil frowned to which the therapist chuckled.

" Avni make sure you trouble this guy enough and I want him to come back to me complaining." The old lady found herself entertained by teasing the couple.

Avni and Neil chuckled and they bid bye to the therapist and left the office after making the appointment for next session.

" Avni when will I be honored to hear you calling my name ? The therapist told that you are already progressing. So you can tell my name right? It's very easy , simple and sweet name you see.." Neil told Avni while igniting their car to ride them back to their sweet happy home.

' I will do that one day. I am waiting for right occasion.' Avni conveyed.

" Come on Avni don't make me wait long. I want to hear it. " Neil made an irresistible puppy face which he uses as his trump card since his childhood to win his argument against his dear drama queen mom.

' I am not going to melt to this. I have made my decision.'

You will have to wait till our marriage my husband to be . I will not stop just by calling your name . I will tell you what you mean to me , in my heart what you and your family's place is . How you make me feel special always . How you encourage me , how you always make right decision for me. How deeply I respect you. How I Love you. Wait love ??? Do I really love him?

The very thought made her jasmine skin turn into a lotus flower skin. Neil was looking at her seeing her change in expression and skin tone.

What's going on in her mind that made her blush suddenly. I just asked her to tell my name and to this she is blushing. God I can't imagine what will happen when I start to pour all my love to her after marriage.

He chuckled to himself at the very thought. Avni frowned seeing him chuckling without any reason.

" Avni stop frowning . If you frown so much you will turn old soon "

Avni was confused.

What is the connection between turning old and frowning?

" Avni if you frown you will get lines in your forehead and will wrinkle your skin. You see the connection.

God when did I turn this pathetic. Cheesy lines and mad statements. This girl is turning me crazy.

' That was very lame joke.' Avni conveyed.

Soon they reached their home .

" Tillu Avni started talking?" Swetha was really eager to know after each session . Avni got scared due to her question thinking that her mom in law to be is really upset of her not being able to talk. Neil understood the situation and squeezed her hands in assurance.

" Mom she will soon be able to gossip with you. You two can even complaint about me when I am not here . I know about your eagerness. You want someone to share all these right? But don't worry mom the therapist told that she is already progressing. Soon you will be able to talk to her. But your dream about hear her complaining about me will remain unfulfilled because Neil Khanna is perfect."
