So here's the last chapter of this book
Enjoy!

#####

With DD's help, neil had sued his family for all their deeds, including all the torture avni faced
Soon after the FIR got registered, they were arrested &put behind the bars

But neil's family wasnt ready to admit to their crimes& instead, they accused avni that she used her literacy to brainwash neil against them

Whenever neil imagined avni going through all that pain& suffering, he became furious from inside- especially thinking on how they treated her as a mere baby producing machine& after delivery, they left her unattended& later mistreated her so terribly as if her life didnt have any value
They had made her life worse than hell

Neil's family members tried to manipulate him against avni but failed terribly bcz neil didnt pay any heed to them as he had finally seen the true face of his family
He couldnt leave the people responsible for his wife's pain roam out in the open freely

*****

Neil decided to permanently shift to the city where DD's friend ali& his wife riya had their radio station
He had already discussed with ali that he would start his job only after avni's recovery& ali agreed

*****

Hospital-

Currently, AvNeil were still in hospital as avni hadnt recovered fully
After meal, the doc checked avni& told her to take rest& then left

A-neilu

N-haa jaan

A-ive missed you& your warm embrace alot
Plz let me hug you

N-ok

Neil knew that avni was still fearful of loosing him
And to help her come out from the mess, the best way was to spend his maximum time with her so he didnt refuse to her request& decided to explain the nurse late on

He removed his shoes& lay beside avni& she immediately hugged him so tight like her life depended on it, so much that her eyes teared up again& soaked neil's shirt

N-avu
Baby relax
Dont cry- im here na?

A-dont leave me ever again
Plz dont go on any mission again

Avni sank her head on neil chest, sniffing between sobs

N-baby i promise i wont leave you ever again
And you know na-
Ive changed my profession

A-hmmm

As neil rubbed avni's back, she stopped sobbing
Eventually, her eyes became heavy& she soon slept off bcz of heavy medication

N-i love you avu

*****

3weeks later-

Avni was discharged from the hospital& neil took her to the house he had taken on rent

They entered& avni immediately clung to neil's arm bcz of the extreme darkness

N-dont worry
Im here
Men abhi light on karta hu

AvNeil entered &neil found the switch board by the help of his phone's flashlight
As he pressed the buttons, the darkness in the house was instantly eliminated& avni too, relaxed while ansh was busy in his pram, playing with the soft toys

*****

Same evening-

Neil was feeding avni dinner

A-neilu cant have more
Im full

N-chup
Doctors ne bola tha ke tumhara weight bohot kam h aur tum iss waqt weak& malnourished bhi ho
Toh men kuch nahi sunne wala
Chup chap khao

Neil said in a strict yet sweet type of tone while avni pouted

A-ok fine

After a while, while neil was preparing the next spoon of dal& rice for avni, avni spoke

A-ek baat batau neilu?

N-batao

A-since the time you returned& later we left the hospital, whenever i dont find you beside me, i feel like a small child who has lost her hand from her parent/guardian in a crowded place full of strangers

Who all have the intention to harm me but have put on the face of a person with no wrong intentions
I want to sleep beside you &wake up beside you everyday

Avni was never so scared before that she would break down or feel emotionally disturbed at every small bad memory but all the torture had affected her alot

Neil immediately pulled her in his embrace& wrapped his arms around her to make her feel secure while avni hid her face in his chest, clutching the neckline of his t shirt

N-calm down jaan
I know what feeling youre going through right now
But dont be worried- you will always find me beside you

A-all those thoughts still haunt me
Plz help me get over them

N-i will surely help you jaan
You dont need to be worried
Ok?
Dheere dheere sab pehle jesa hojayega

A-hmmm

N-abhi theek ho?

Avni didnt speak but just moved her arms& wrapped them around his lower back
Neil understood that despite his consoling, somewhere, she was still scared so he didnt break the hug& continued to pat her head

He again felt disgusted on thinking how brutally his 'so called family' had treated avni when she needed their support the most
She was in this state all thanks to them
He was determined to never meet them ever again

A-i dont know why im not able to get over this fear neil- the fear of loosing you
Pata nahi ye darr kab tak muje pareshaan karega

N-dont worry
I will help you, my babygirl
Just believe in me

Avni clung to neil even more tight

N-now lets finish dinner
Phir so jana

A-ok

After dinner, neil put avni to sleep
He picked a sleeping ansh from his cradle& lay close to avni with ansh sleeping over him& him securing ansh by wrapping his arms around ansh
Avni unknowingly snuggled into neil& slept with a smile on her face

Neil smiled on noticing this

N-my 2 innocent babies- 1 big& 1 small

*****

As days passed, avni was getting stable
Neil used to take her& ansh to the radio station& the trio spent time working& enjoying at the same time

*****

Random evening in AvNeil's apartment-

It was evening& it was raining terribly
Avni was preparing dinner in their semi open kitchen& neil was sitting on the table in front of the counter, playing with ansh while ansh was smiling& laughing
Neil was staring at avni at intervals
Suddenly, the lights went off bcz of power cut

After whatever happened with her in village, avni was scared from the dark& she started shivering
The steal spatula in her hand immediately fell down

Neil immediately made ansh sit on his highchair, went towards avni& scooped her shivering figure in his embrace while avni clung to him immediately

N-sshhh
Avu im here
Shaant hojao

A-neil mu...je d...darr lag...lagra h...
Ye...an...and...dhera
Plz...mu...muje...chodke mat...jana

N-men yahi hu jaan
Baarish se power failure hua h
Let me light few candles
Phir ansh ke saath room men chalenge

Avni simply nodded& neil switched off the gas stove knobs

A-dinner banana h

N-baahar se order kar lenge

Neil fetched the box of candles& lit them while avni was clinging to him all this while
It was slightly risky as either of them might get injured but he also understood that how emotionally disturbed avni was

She frequently had nightmares of all this being a dream& she would find herself still locked up in that dark room, after waking up so neil was being extremely patient bcz he knew that getting over that incident wasnt going to happen overnight

When she used to start mumbling& remembering the flashes in sleep, he pulled her over himself to calm her shivering body by his warmth &succeeded too

Neil took the candles& reached their room, while avni was holding ansh
He made her sit on the bed, while keeping the candle stand on the side table

N-tum ansh ke saath yahi betho, men khana order karta hu

A-ok

Neil picked his phone& searched for nearby restaurants which gave home delivery
He was about to get up for a moment when avni held him by his wrist

A-plz dont go

N-im not going
Just relax

As neil sat back, avni gave him a faint smile

*****

After their dinner, avni had fed ansh& put him to sleep

They were in their room with neil sitting on the bed with supporting his back by headrest& avni was sleeping in his lap, with her mouth slightly open& he was staring at her

N(to himself)-ive talked to a therapist& decided to take you for counseling sessions from tomorrow bcz i know that more than physical recovery, you need emotional recovery
It isnt easy for you to forget whatever you faced but im determined to bring my old avni back

*****

As avni started to attend the therapy classes, she started to recover& feel better
She hugged neil happily as she was feeling better& didnt face nightmares

*****

Avni was laying on neil's chest when she suddenly frowned bcz his beard was hurting her face

N-wait
Let me go& trim

A-no
Let it be

N-arre but my beard is hurting you

A-it hurts but it tickles too

Neil made an annoyed face, making avni laugh while neil was smiling seeing her laughing her heart out

He had heard this laughter after ages bcz she had been in broken state for nearly an year

He decided to do some random stupid comic things so that she laughs more often
Soon, avni fell asleep

After waking up& coming out of room after a nap, avni saw neil grinding something in the mixer
Seeing her, neil stopped his work

N-arre
Wifey tum uthi kyu?

A-bcz i was bored of sleeping
I want to help you in cooking

N-you really want to help me?

Avni immediately nodded her head

N-ok then
Watch tv, read a book or play with ansh
Doctor has strictly told you to take rest

A-par esa pura din rahungi toh lazy ban jaungi(pouting like a kid)

N-nahi banogi

A-acha let me at least watch you?

N-ok fine

Avni smiled& sat up on the kitchen counter
She knew that neil doesnt like much distractions when working so she kept quiet& was silently staring at neil while he continued cooking

*****

Same night-

After a hectic day, neil was exhausted
Suddenly, he felt someone massaging his shoulders, arms& head
He immediately guessed the touch- it was his loving wifey
Avni took the silence as an opportunity &spoke up

A-neilu

N-hmmm

A-you arent letting me do anything& want me to take rest so that i recover soon
For my safety, you take me& ansh to the radio station
You manage everything all alone& i see how exhausted you are by the end of the day
Still you give your maximum attention to me& ansh

N-hmmm
Bcz i love you both

A-neilu so lets appoint a maid for cooking &cleaning the house so that you dont have too much stress
Plz?
I promise to take rest whenever you want
But plz appoint a maid?

N-then you need to follow this promise

A-yes
I will take all my medicines on time too

N-ok fine
I will ask DD to contact some reliable agency for maid

A(happily)-thank you neilu!

Suddenly something struck avni's mind

A-neilu

N-haa jaan

A-busy ho?

N-im always available for my wifey
Bolo

Avni came closer to him& sat in his lap

She wrapped his arms around her waist, rested her head in his chest& wrapped her arms around his lower back

A-this feels perfect
Muje roz ese hi sona h& ese hi jaagna h-i feel secured

Neil smiled

N-sure my love
Lets sleep

Neil picked her in his arms& lay in bed in same position
Suddenly avni thought of something

A-neilu

N-hmmm

A-plz remove your shirt

N(surprised)-are you ok avu?
Matlab achanak kese?

A-its been so long since we made love
I know we cant do it bcz im still not completely fine to face any pain- even if accidental
But im craving for you
Plz? (Pouting cutely)

N-ok
But i wont move too far

A-no problem

Neil removed his shirt& avni snuggled into him instantly
She started to run her palms around his bare chest which was giving neil a tough time& her moves finally made him groan in pleasure

When he couldnt bare it further, he unzipped avni's nightgown, making it slip off her shoulder

Soon, he slipped it off completely which left avni shocked for a moment but she understood that neil had also craved for feeling her

Neil's hands& legs moved throughout avni's exposed body
He covered themselves with the duvet& his eyes moved towards avni's melons
He asked through his eyes& avni nodded positively
Neil at once unlock& threw away her bra

He kissed her assets& soon started sucking them gently but hugrily- like a hungry child

This suddenly reminded her of ansh
She moved her gaze to her side of the bed& saw ansh sleeping in his cradle peacefully, with his arms& legs stretched out comfortably
She took care that the net over the cradle was not moved else mosquitoes might bite him

As they moved further, they fell into eachother's love
Soon after, avni was fast asleep
Whereas neil was staring at her

N-my sweetheart
I love you &promise to protect you& ansh like this, all my life

Neil smiled at both of them& soon, he too slept off
