He holds her hand pulling her closer in his embrace. His head down and took a small glimpse of his wife who hid herself in his chest as they walked through out the airport and cameras shuttering on their faces.

He even turns his face around looking at his friends who didn't looked happy seeing the media. He could see how his security teams were controlling the media.

He lifts his face up and waves at the media securing his one arm around Avni's waist and walking out of the exit.

He ignores all the comments that were made on him and his love life. He sighs coming out of the airport and looks at the security team who dealt with media. He cups Avni's face and pecks her forehead.

Neil : are you alright Jaan?

She nodded her head wiping her face away feeling so uncomfortable. She just wanted to go home and rest. He opens the door and makes her sit.

He turns around when he heard Manik's voice.

Manik : are you guys okay?

Neil : we both are okay. Where is the rest?

Manik : I have sent them with cabir. I'll join you both.

Neil nodded his head and they both settled inside the car. He looks at his Jaan who snuggles to his chest soon as he sat down. He caressed her head and pecks side of her head whispering.

Neil : it's alright Jaan! I got you.

He then looks at Manik who gestures the driver to drive. Soon they were on roads.

Neil felt his wife clinging to him. He really didn't mind it though but whatever happened earlier made him to think.

He couldn't get his head around. His thoughts roams around the airport scene. He thanks his friends begging there otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle it by himself alone.

Neil looks down and saw her dozing up. He rolls the window down and looks outside of the window.

Neil softly whispers tapping her cheek lightly.

Neil : Jaan, open your eyes. We have arrived home.

Her eyes flicks staring at him. He chuckles at her antics and strokes her cheeks lovingly.

Neil : come on jaan, you can rest afterwards.

She straightens her posture and grabbing her phone, she comes out of the car and sighs finally begin at home. Her eyes met Neil's who was already starting her.

She returns the smile holding his hand in hers and starts walking towards the mansion. Neil gestures the driver to bring the luggage in.

Her smiles widens and leaving Neil's hand hugs swetha soon as swetha opens the door.

Swetha smiles and pats her hair. Avni huge swetha tightly and whispered how much she missed her.

Avni : I missed you so much mom.

Swetha smiles breaking the hug and looks at Neil who had frown on his face. She moves to him and slaps his arm.

Swetha : why are you frowning? Didn't you miss your mom?

Neil shook his head and pulls her in a hug and muttered under his breath.

Neil : how can I not miss my mother India? I missed you so much.

Neil broke the hug and kissed her forehead.

Swetha smiles and gestures them to come inside. They starts walking inside and spotted Bebe watching tv. Bebe wasn't noticed them yet.

Neil quietly shushed the ladies and tiptoes behind Bebe and taps her shoulder. Bebe got startled and turns her head backwards looking at Neil in a shock.

Neil smiles coming at the front and hugs her. Bebe composing herself slapped him and hugs him back.

Bebe : idiot! You scared me. Who does this?

Neil chuckles and broke the hug. Neil held his ears apologising to Bebe.

Neil : I'm sorry Bebe!

Bebe smiles and turns looking  at Bebe before pulling her in a hug.

Bebe : I really missed you Avni. I'm so happy to you have returned back.

Avni smiles breaking the hug and smirks looking at Neil who made faces hearing Bebe.

Avni : you would have definitely missed me Bebe. I missed you too.

Neil : this isn't fair Bebe. Why didn't you miss me?

Bebe : I don't know! I didn't miss you.

Neil : it's okay! I have my best friend with me. He missed me too much.

Bebe : yeah! The best friend who was with you whole time.

All of the chuckles leaving Neil to curse on his stupidity. Neil rubs his neck sitting down and looks at swetha.

Swetha : okay! You both take a sit. I'll bring water for you both.

Swetha went to kitchen while Bebe pulls Avni making her sit down beside her.

Bebe : how is Goa? Did you guys have fun?

Avni : it's was best Bebe. You guys missed it. Next time we will plan our together.

Bebe : I'm too old to travel. You both are young. I won't be third wheel between the couple. I'm happy being home.

Neil : sweetheart. You ain't that old. You're beautiful more than my wife.

Bebe : Neil watch your mouth. You will get beaten by your own wife.

Neil chuckles and looks at Avni who threw a glare at him. He turns his head around looking at Bebe and wanting to tease his wife he continues complimenting Bebe.

Neil : where is dad? Still in office?

Bebe :yes! He should be home by evening.

Neil nodded his head taking his phone out catching with few messages.

Bebe and Avni were talking about the trip when swetha comes with water. She give it to them and sat next to Neil.

Neil shuts his phone and looks at them.

Neil : Jaan. I'm going to head upstairs. Come when you can.

Avni nodded her head and got to talking with swetha and Bebe.

Neil stands up and glancing Avni more time climbs up the stairs. He pushed the door and felt good to be back home, in his own room.

He placed his phone on the side table and taking his clothes he went to washroom.

A minute later Avni also excused herself headed to her room. She found the luggage placed in the corner of the room.

She sighs and heading to bed she took her shoes off and lays down.

Her eyes immediately closed up feeling tired and sleepy. She didn't bothering about changing or freshening up.

He walks out of washroom and his eyes fell on bed where his wife slept. He smiles moving towards bed. He covers her up with duvet and pecking her head, he moves to balcony grabbing his phone.

He made few calls to his management team. He also checked media and found many videos of him at the airport.

He didn't bother about reading the caption or the headline. It really doesn't bother him long as his loved ones are not affected in any way due to media or rumours about him.

He closed his phone and holding the phone in his hand he stood there thinking about how things are going around him and his family.

He went back in the room and found Avni stirring in sleep. He smiles and he also got inside the bed and placing his phone on the side table, he pulls her in his arms.

He kissed her forehead and smiles watching how is wife looks while sleeping without worrying about anything. This is how he want his wife to be. Happy and not worrying about anything.

In the evening the whole sat outside in the garden engrossed in a conversation when Neil's phone rang. He took his phone out and looks at the caller id.

He answers the call.

Neil : hello Neela maa. How are you ma?

Neela : hello Neil. I'm good. How are you? How is Avni? Where is she? She hasn't been answering my call.

Neil : maa. She is with me. Is everything okay?

Neela : yes! All good. Can you pass the phone to het?

Neil : sure maa!

Neil looks at Avni and mouthing Neela maa handed the phone to her. Avni took the phone and starts talking to Neela.

She ended the call and looks at Neil.

Neil : what did she say? She also called you Jaan.

Avni : she was saying to visit her. It's been so long she has seen us. Can we visit her?

Neil : off course Jaan! You don't need to ask. We can visit her tomorrow. Plus Holi is coming up so I was wondering how about we celebrate it there. It will be fun.

Avni : yes! That's great. Mom, Bebe what do you say?

Bebe : we don't have a problem. Right swetha?

Swetha : yes Bebe! Avni you can go! Even better if you stay back there few days.

Avni smiles and was blessed being part of this family. Neil smiles and looks behind them to see Prakash walking towards them holding a bag in his hands.

Neil stood up hugging Prakash who smiles. Prakash broke the hug and looks at him.

Prakash: did you face any problem getting home?

Neil : no dad! What's in the bag?

Prakash: ice cream. I thought why not to buy some. You both are back so why not.

Neil smiles. They all sat down and chatted while the Avni and swetha went to set the table up.
