Neil : Mujhe Aarya se milna hai avni...kya tum mujhe allow krogi.....? he spoke softly, asking her permission.

The moment he said that, avni's face expressions changed. She slowly looked at him....as he is asking her permission, to meet his daughter.

Avni : Y...yes...yes ofcourse....
she said looking down

Neil felt really happy....

Neil : Really....thanks...toh phir main aaj shaam ghar aa jau...?

he said getting really excited....

Avni : Aa.....aaj ? she asked him to confirm.

Neil : Haan avni....kyu koi problem hai...?

Avni felt awwkward. She is still fighting with her inner turmoil of emotions...and having neil in her home, will increase her awkwardness and insecurities.

But she has promised him that she will never stop him from meeting aarya. So she agreed, keeping her emotions aside.

Avni : Fine...y...you can come over.
she said and neil got happy.

Neil : Thank avni....he said with a smile.

Then they looked at each other, Avni suddenly  broke the eye contact and looked around. Neil went silent....he then decided to leave.

Neil : ok..toh...m..main chalta hun...

avni nodded looking down...

And after that he began to leave. He was leaving but he suddenly turned back and said....

Neil : Acha avni..... he said looking at her

Avni looked at him to listen.... But neil stood their in silentce..he want to say something but hr felt hesitant....

Avni noticed him being hesitant...she herself asked him......

Avni : Kya hua neil....bolo....?

Neil finally looked at her and said...

Neil : Woh avni actually I...i dont want ki tum...tum abhi aarya ko kuch bhi btao...Please dont tell her about me.....Pta nhi voh kaise react kregi ye jaanke ki main...main uska father hun... neil didn't looked in her eyes while saying the last words.

He didn't want aarya to know right now, that he is her father.

Avni noticed him stealing eyes from her....she understood his feelings and said.....

Avni : Tumhe darr hai...ki kahi voh tumse nafrat na kare.....? she said looking at him....

Neil's guilt took over...he felt really sad and didnt looked up.

Avni gave a slight smile and said...

Avni : Galti ki hai neil....to use face krna bhi seekho....she said and he slowly looked up at her

Avni took a pause and then she said...

Avni :  But anyways, dont worry, main usse nhi btaungi....Ye right bhi main tumhe deti hu, tumhara jab mann kre...tum tab usse btana.
she said and smiled....tried to make him feel better.

Neil thanked her. After sometimes, he finally left.

.................

Later, In the evening

Avni and Aarya were sitting in the hall watching tv....

Suddenly there was a knock on the door....

Avni realised it must be him. And she knows that aarya will be very happy to see him, so she asked her to open the door....

Avni : Aarya....can you please see, who is there at the door...?
she asked her, while she smiled secretly...as she was waiting to see her reaction on watching neil at the door.

Aarya went to open the door......

The moment she opened the door, there was Neil, standing right there at the door, holding a big teddy bear in his hands....and a smile on his face.

Aarya got extremely surprised to see him....

Aarya : Oh my god.....Rockstar Neillll.....Again...? her eyes widened at the surprise.... she was so happy to see neil.....her excitement was clearly visible on her face....

Avni was standing at the distant, and she just smiled seeing that happiness on aarya's face.... (her happiness means the world to her)

Neil : Tadaahh......neil surprised her and he gleamed in happinesss....

He smiled looking at aarya,  while he gave her the teddy bear..

Neil : And this is for you....beautiful girl.....he bent in front of her, presenting her the teddy, (the teddy was almost as big as aarya's height)

Aarya's eyes shinned, looking at the teddy bear, She just jumped in excitement and held the teddy bear immediately..

Aarya : Wowww...its so big.....thank uu so much! she said and hugged her teddy.....

Neil felt really happy, he felt emotional, he adored her priceless smile.

Aarya kept hugging her new teddy bear,as she was so happy to get that.

neil saw her smile and asked.....

Neil : You liked your gift....?

Aarya : Yes....i loved it so much....you know what, I have so many teddies, but this is so fluffy, so big.....Thank you so much for this one....she said in her excitement...

Neil : Hmm....but i am very upset with you Aarya.....? .....he said to her making a sad face ,

Arya looked at him confused, she felt sad seeing him upset with her

Aarya : Why....? she asked softly

Neil : because saare huggies sirf teddy ke liye...or mere liye...?  he said looking at her.....

Aarya smiled instantly....and she kept the teddy aside....

Neil smiled and opened his arms for her.....and aarya immediately placed her both the arms around his neck, while giving him a big bear hug.

And with that, Neil embraced his daughter for the first time in his arms......his eyes get closed automatically...his heart gets filled with emotions.

He want that moment to freeze on the spot.....he just squeeshed her a little more in his arms....holding her close to his heart. He could not stop his tears to get filled in his eyes.....he got really emotional at the moment.

Avni, who was standing at a distant looked at him.....She could see the pain and the emotions in his closed eyes....

She also got emotional at the moment....she was smiling looking at neil with his daughter.
At that time she forgot everything, and right now neil was only aarya's dad for her....The only thing she could see was - the father and the daughter moment......The moment....for which she has waited for so long......seeing aarya with her dad.

After sometime aarya broke the hug. She held neil's hand and asked him to come inside...

Aarya : Aap bahar hi rhoge kya....? Andar chlo na rockstar neil....

she held his hands and brought him in....

Aarya : Mumma see....Rockstar neil humare ghar pe aaye hai...voh bhi second time......and look he gave me a teddy bear....she said and avni looked at neil.

Neil also looked at her and for a moment they were lost in each others eyes. Avni could see few tears in his eyes, while neil was all silent, still in that moment.

Avni then broke the eye contact and looked around,...

Neil also secretly wiped his tears and put a smile on his face.....

Avni then smiled and said to aarya....

Avni : Aarya....ye humare ghar dinner ke liye aaye hai....Aap....aap inhe apna house nhi dikhaoge ? she asked her and aarya nodded joyfully.

She held neil's hand and said....

Aarya : Come neill....i will show you our house..... she said to which avni's face expressions changed...She looked at neil...and neil looked at her....

Avni felt really awwkward....she can't let aarya call neil with his name....when she know that he is her dad.

She instantly interupted her and said...

Avni : Aarya....its very bad....you can't call him by name....He is elder to you....

Aarya : But mumma he is Neil....THE NEIL KHANNA....The rockstar....everyone calls him neil...

Avni : No Aarya...no matter what everyone say...But you can't call him neil....because he is your.....

Neil : Avniii......before she could say anything, neil stopped her immediately...

Avni looked at him and he signalled her not to say anything...

Avni : But neil......she slowly whispered, but neil still denied her...

Aarya was confused....she looked both of them...

Neil tried to divert the topic and he said....

Neil : its...its fine Avni....its absolutely fine....Or vese bhi....Aarya or main toh ab friends ban gye hai....right aarya...he said smilingly, looking at aarya..

Aarya smiled and nodded back....Avni agreed, she kept quite seeing their happiness.

After that, aarya took neil with her and showed her the house.

Neil and Aarya were looking very happy with each other.... Avni secretly looked at them as they were all smiling and laughing.....Aarya was telling neil her school stories and other stuffs....while neil was cracking jokes with her.....He was tickling her and she bursted in laughter. To which avni also laughed.....It was one beautiful moment....the moment was a pure bliss. It was all surreal.....!

After sometimes, they sat for the dinner. Avni served the food to neil and they all started eating.

Meanwhile aarya asked neil,

Aarya : Aap mumma ke liye koi gift nhi laaye neil...? she asked in her innocence

Neil looked at her and then he looked at avni, Avni was still looking down and not looking at him.

Neil : Ofcourse laya hun aarya....he said while looking at avni...

Avni then looked up at him.....they looked at each other in silence.....

Aarya : Really...then give her...give her na...jaldi..... she insisted neil

Neil then took a small box from his pocket and slowly extended his hands towards avni....looking into her eyes.

Avni : N...nhi neil....iski koi zarurat nhi hai.... she said

Neil didnt said anything.....but aarya interupted...

Aarya : No mumma....take it na...pleasee....please mummaa....

Avni : Aarya...no bachhaa....

she tried to make her understand but neil said....

Neil : Le lo avni.....aarya ki khushi ke liye.... he said to which avni looked at him. She felt more awkward....

Everything was becoming more n more difficult for her now,  She didn't want to accept anything from neil, but for aarya's happiness, as she insisted...she took the box halfheartedly....

Avni : Th...thanks.....she whispered to neil....while he smiled a bit.

Arya again insisted her to open the box, and avni opened it for her.

She opened while neil was looking at her face.....

Avni was surprised as it was a beautiful silver n shiny bracelet.

Aarya got excited to see it...While avni looked at neil...and he looked at her. They shared an eye lock for few seconds.

Soon, they got busy in eating again.

...........

After finishing his dinner, neil went to kitchen, to keep his utensils.  Aarya was still sitting at the dinning table.....therefore Avni got up and went behind neil in the kitchen....

Avni : Neil.....main ye nhi le sakti... she said giving the bracelet box back to him...

Neil : Avni......

Avni : No neil....arya ke saamne maine kuch nhi bola.....but tum jaante ho main ye nhi rakh sakti....

Or Better hoga agar tum sirf aarya ke dad bnne ki koshish kro....Ye...ye sab krne ki koi zarurat nhi hai......! she said looking at him....while neil looked at her.

She then kept the box at the slab and went back....while neil stood their alone.

......................

After the dinner, aarya took neil to her room. She was showing him her toys, her books and everything. Neil was also happy being around her. He just wanted to spend his each n every moment with his daughter. He felt like doing anything for her...he felt like bringing the world for her.

While aarya was showing him the toys, Neil looked around her room. There was a photoframe on the wall.....

He slowly went there and closely looked at it.... It has a childhood pic of aarya , where she is in avni's arms, and  avni is kissing on her cheeks. He just smiled looking at it.....he felt emotional....he slowly carresed over the photoframe.

But in the meanwhile,

Aarya who was sitting on the bed ,got up in a hurry , but somehow she  disbalanced herself and slipped from the bed......

Aarya : Ahhh....mummaa.... she winced in pain and started crying...as she hit her leg on the bedside....

Neil immediately turned around and widened his eyes in shock...

Neil : Aaryaa.....he immediately picked her up and sat on the bed while placing her on his lap.....

he carresed her and asked panickining....
.
Neil : Aarya....aap...aap thik ho naa..aa...aap ko kahi lagi to nhi......

he asked while aarya was crying holding her leg...

Neil looked at it....he noticed the wound on her legs...He got worried for a second.....he blowed air over her wound and rubbed her legs....

Neil : Its...its okay beta...rote nhi hai....dekho...dekho abhi thik ho jayega..... he said wiping her tears and kept on rubbing her legs.

Aarya : mummaa...mumaa.... aarya was crying in pain...she only needs her mumma right now...

On the other hand....Avni listened her scream....and she immediately rushed to her room...

She entered, and was shocked to see aarya crying and wincing in pain..

Avni : Aa....aarya....avni got panicked seeing her crying in pain...

She entered inside and immediately picked her from neil's lap.....

Avni : Aarya.....

Arya : Mummaa..... arya cried in pain....

Avni then noticed the wound on her legs. She panicked immediately....

Avni : Ye..ye chot kaise lagi.....she asked getting more n more worried for her....

Neil : Avni vo....vo bed se utar rahi thi..or uska pair slip ho gya....

avni didnt paid any attention to him....she immediately placed aarya on bed, went to get the firstaid box from the drawer...and start applying oitment on her legs...sitting next to her.

Aarya was hiccuping in her cries, while avni was applying ointment on her legs.

Avni : bas beta....abhi thik ho jayega...mumma hai na....abhi thik ho jayega...

Neil looked at avni, She was looking extremely worried for aarya.....

While neil caressed aarya's hairs....as he sat close to her.

Aarya was still hiccuping and wincing in pain. Neil noticed and he said......

Neil : Aarya.... rote nhi hai bachaa...dekhna abhi aapka sara pain finish ho jayega....aap toh strong girl ho na..... he said and placed a kiss on her forehead.....while he kept on carresing her.

Soon aarya stopped crying, but neil noticed avni still being worried for her. She even had tears in her eyes....while she was applying ointment on aarya's wounds....

neil tried to console her and said....

Neil : Avnii....avni it's okay....choti si chot hai....or aarya bilkul thik hai...Please tum chinta mat karo....

Or dekhna aarya abhi uthegi....or fir se masti kregi....right aarya.... he said with a smile in an attempt to make aarya smile.....

(while avni, who was silent and controlling till now....suddenly started bursting at him....)

Avni : Shut up neil...Just shut up....Ye...ye sab sirf tumhari vajah se hua hai....Tumhara dhyaan kaha tha haan...? Tumhare hote, aarya ko chot kaise lagi......?

neil looked at her and he went numb....he realised it was his mistake....he should have been more careful...

Neil : Avni...i...i am soo....

Avni : No neil.....Meri hi galti thi...meri hi galti thi jo maine isse tumhare saath akela chhoda.......I...i thought tum iska khyal rkhoge.....
par main bhul gayi thi ....ki tumhe khyal rakhna aata kaha hai......tumhe toh sirf dard dena aata hai.....she said in a single go....she didnt realise that it must have hurted him really hard.....

neil got shocked...he got tears filled in his eyes....

Neil : A..avni tum...tumhe lagta hai ki main...main jaan bujh ke aarya ko hurt krunga...? Aarya ko....?
he said looking at her with his tears filled eyes......

He didn't expected that avni will ever think that he can hurt aarya on purpose.....knowing that how much she means to him.

Avni then realised what she said....and she then looked at him in his eyes.

Neil looked at her...and then he suddenly got up from there and went outside.
