At khanna after having hour nap Neil woke up.. he sat up on bed and rubbed eye.. while rubbing his eye.. his gaze fell on the clock... he saw the time which was 9pm... he took his phone and saw no call from avni..

Neil : avni didn't finish get shift yet!

Neil called her number but it was unreachable... he tried again but same thing happened again.. Neil sighed and Kept his phone on table side.. he gets off bed and walked to washroom...

He stood front of sink and splashed cold water over his face.. he did few times then grabbed towel near by him and wiped his face..

He came out of washroom and made his way to bed.. he picked his phone and shoved into his pocket... he kept his one hand in pocket and walked down stairs....

He was walking down the stairs when he noticed juhi looked at the time continuously... he chucked his thought and went to straight to kitchen.. he saw swetha cooking.. he made his way to sink and took glass.. he filled glass up with water and drank it..

he then settled on kitchen slab and looked at swetha who wasn't aware of Neil presence.. Neil grabbed apple from fruit basket and took bite..

While munching apple he called swetha gaining her attention...

Neil : mom!

Swetha hearing Neil's voice she stopped her work and turned to see Neil eating apple while sitting on slab..

Swetha : when did you come?

Neil: while ago! What's cooking?

Swetha : lady fingers.. your favourite..

Neil : wow.. can't wait.. mom..

Swetha : hmm!

Neil : did avni call you and said she will be late..

Swetha : no she didn't why?

Neil : she isn't home.. it's 9 pm.. by that time she is home unless she has night shift.. even she has night shift she would call me and inform but today she didn't.. I don't know I feel something is wrong.. even this Juhi is staring at the time like she will eat for dinner.. mom do you know something....

Swetha : Juhi is crazy.. since morning she is behaving strange... since avni is left home she was in her room... she locked herself in her room.. when you came back from work then hour ago before you coming she came out.. from that moment she is sitting in hall and staring at the clock.. you don't give heed on her.. did you call hospital to know if avni has left or not...

Neil : oh shit.. I forget.. I'll call them..

Neil ran out of kitchen and went to his room.. he took his phone out quickly and dialled hospital number..

He comfortable sat on bed...

Neil : hello Neil khanna speaking!
