Neil descending down the stairs shouted swetha name who immediately rushingly comes out of kitchen and saw Neil struggling with his tie. Swetha slapped her head lightly and walks to him.

Swetha : tillu when will stop shouting my name ?

Neil gave her sheepish smile passing the tie to her.

Swetha shaking her head tied tie around Neil's neck who kissed swetha cheek.

Neil : thank you mom. Is my breakfast ready?

Swetha : yes! You take sit. I'm coming with your breakfast.

Neil nodding his head moves Dinning table and saw Bebe and Prakash. He wished them good morning and pulls chair for himself.

He sat down while dialling a number. He kept trying to call a number when he heard Bebe voice.

Bebe : Tillu who are you calling?

Neil : avni bebe.. she isn't picking my call.

Bebe : she would still be sleeping. She will call once she wakes up.

Neil : maybe you're right Bebe.

Neil kept his phone back in his pocket and saw swetha coming with his breakfast. Swetha served Neil his breakfast then moves to serve Bebe and Prakash.

Neil starts having his food while thinking about avni. Neil completing his breakfast looks at Prakash.

Neil : dad I should make my way to office. You come later.

Prakash: okay Neil!

Neil bidding bye to his family and taking his briefcase left the khanan mansion.

Neil settles on driver seat and buckled his seatbelt. Neil starting the car engine again dialled Avni's number.

Lucky this time avni picks the call up. Before Neil could speak he heard his baby sleepy voice which made him smile.

Avni : hello..

Neil : good morning baby.

Avni : Neil.. why can't you let me sleep?

Neil : baby it's morning, don't you have office to go?

Avni : oh shit... Neil.. I'll call you later..

Neil : don't hang the call yet.. don't freak out. I'm coming to apartment in 20 minutes. You get ready then I'll drop you up office. And yes I'm not going to hear anything. I'm dropping you to work that's all. Now stop wasting time  go fresh up.

Neil hanged the call and chuckling himself drove to his baby apartment..

Neil turns the radio on and starts humming the song.

Neil parked his car front Avni's apartment and comes out of the car. He starts walking to her apartment. He rang the door bell. He leaning to the all waited for the door to be open.

Neil straightened himself as he heard door click. He passed smile to avni who was staring him angrily. He got confused thinking why is she angrily staring him.

He shrugged his thoughts cupping her face placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

Neil : why is my baby angrily staring at me?

Avni turns herself around and starts walking inside leaving Neil at the door. He sighing closed the door and came behind her.

He saw her brushing her hair but still the anger didn't leave her. Neil walking towards Avni wraps his arms around her waist and kept his chin on her shoulder.

Neil : is my baby angry with her Neil?

Avni glancing Neil through mirror cutely bobbed her head. Neil holding her waist turns  her around and cups her her face.

Neil : why is my baby angry with me?

Avni : because you didn't wake me up on time.

Neil smiles at her.

Neil : sorry baby.. that won't happen again.

A smile broke on Avni's face.

Avni : I should get ready..

Neil nodded his head and left her. Avni moves go get ready whereas Neil sat down on bed and adore his baby getting ready. Neil adores while avni not acknowledging his gaze was getting ready. Once she was ready she turns around and saw Neil staring her intensely making her cheeks turning red. Avni  bitting her inner cheek walks to Neil who was lost in her simple beauty.

Avni stood front of Neil and calls his name few times breaking his admiring session.  Neil shook his head and gave sheepish smile to her.

Neil got up and wrapped his hands around her shoulder. He then forward himself and planted a soft kiss on her forehead making her lip turning into beautiful smile.

Neil : you're gorgeous baby.. I love you.

Avni smiled at him and stared him.

Neil once again pecking get forehead took his hand off around her shoulder and kept inside his pocket.

Neil : baby hurry up, I'm five minutes I'll see you downstairs.

Avni bobbing her head cutely moves to get her bag while Neil left the apartment and walked down.

Neil sat in the car and took his phone out to see his pa miscalled. He shaking his head dialled his pa number.

Neil : hello! Get the conference room ready. I'll be there in next 30 minutes.

Neil ended the call after getting positive reply. He kept his phone back in his pocket and lifted his head to see Avni walking to his car. He passed her smile and started the engine while avni going to other side sat down and puts her seatbelt on.

Neil keeping his hand on steering wheel looks at her.

Neil : shall we?

Avni : yes!

Neil turned his gaze on road and starts driving. Avni turned the radio on making Neil smile.

Neil's one hand was on steering wheel while other one was entwined with Avni's hand which was kept in her lap... Neil driving hummed the song with smile playing on his lips.

Neil stopped the car front of Avni's office and turning to looks at her.

Neil: I'll pick you up in the evening.

Avni : Neil I can take cab. You don't have to stress yourself coming here.

Neil : baby this is not stress.I'm not going to argue with you. I'm coming to pick you up in the evening. that's final!

Avni puffed in irritation and looks at him. Neil also glared her making her angry more.

Avni : fine. Do what you want.

She opened her side door and left taking her bag with banging the door loudly making Neil sigh. Neil sighed and watched her going inside.

Neil ( mind) how can I explain you baby? I'm worried for you.. how will explain you what I'm going through?

Neil taking deep breath and glancing one more time at the entrance took u-turn and left for his office.

Neil walking fixing his blazer inside his office and found many eyes on him. He looks up and saw everyone staring him or drooling him.

Neil : get back to work..

He lashed out and walks to his cabin. He sitting down pick intercom and called his pa.

Neil : i want you in my cabin right now.

He ended the call and next minute there was knock on his cabin.

Neil : come in!

Pa : sorry sir!

Neil : keep your sorry to yourself and give me what is my schedule for today?

Pa nodded his head and starts telling Neil's today schedule.

Neil : is conference room ready?

Pa : yes sir! Client would be where anytime.

Neil nodded his head and looks at the time which was half 9.

Neil : you can leave. And meet me in the conference room.

The pa bobbing his head left while Neil thought of doing some work before he goes for meeting.

In Avni's office.

Avni was working on her presentation when she heard someone calling behind her. She turns around and saw one of the employer.

Employer : sir is calling you.

Avni made face hearing the boss name and turns back to her computer screen.

Avni : he will Kill me today... gosh.. why me?

Avni cursing her boss went to meet her boss.. she knocks and enters once she heard her boss voice 'come in'.

Avni : sir.

Boss looks up and saw avni.

Boss : come again.. did you just say no? Why isn't your presentation ready yet? Aren't you working from last week?  Do you know I can fire right now? This is ridiculous not competing the presentation. In next hour I want your presentation mailed to me. If you fail then today will be your last day. Now leave.
