Shweta was determined to make understand juhi. Juhi was trying to take her hand back but shweta held it tightly and took her in the room.

Shweta: ( in mind) galti meri hi hai Maine hi juhi ko galat rashte par chalne ke liye force kiya but ab mai hi usse samjhaungi.

Shweta pulled her inside with such a force that juhi fell on the bed. Shweta locked the door of room and turned around glaring at her. Juhi got up wiping her tears.

Shweta: kya tha ye sab huh tum avni par haath uthane jaa rahi thi

Juhi: toh kya karti mai vo mujhe challenge kar rahi thi. Ek toh usne meri jagah leli aur upar se mujhe hi challenge karti hai

Shweta shut her eyes tightly been frustrated then looked at juhi. She stepped closer to her and held her shoulders.

Shweta: tumhe ye baat samajhni hogi juhi neil ab kisi aur ka hai, uski shadi ho chuki hai. Kal ko jab vo apne rishte mai aage badhega uske bacche honge tab bhi kya tum yahi zid pakad ke bethogi? Galti meri hai mujhe tumhe misguide karna hi nahi chahiye tha par ab bas tumhe samajh na hoga. Neil ko toh koi faraq bhi nahi padta tumhari ye feelings and all se tumhi dekho, toh kya ye sahi hai ek ese insan se pyaar karna ye jaante hue ke vo kisi aur se pyaar karta hai?

Juhi lowered her eyes not having an answer to this questions.

Shweta: mai jaanti hu ye tumhare liye asan nahi hai but iska matlab ye nahi ki tum avni par haath uthaogi.

Her tone gets hard making her aware about the consequences. Juhi looked up in confusion thinking why she was behaving like this.

Shweta: avni meri beti hai aur ek maa ko bilkul accha nahi lagega ke koi uski beti par haath uthaye

Juhi's jaw dropped on the ground not believing her every word.

Shweta: mai jaanti hu tum kya soch rahi ho haa maine avni ko accept kar liya hai apne pure dil se. Vo mere tillu ki biwi hai mrs.avni Neil Khanna. You see vo dono apni duniya mai bohot khush hai accha yahi hoga tum bhi khush raho aur dusro ko bhi rehne do.

Shweta went from there giving her a one last look while juhi was rooted to her place. She fell down not able to control anymore and sobbed loudly clutching her knees close to her chest.

Juhi: aapne dhokha diya hai mujhe mai aapko kabhi maaf nahi karungi kabhi nahi

Shweta was hearing all this from outside and closed her eyes tightly, tears started flowing down from her eyes. Though she had bravely given her a reality check but deep down she knew the fault was her as equally as juhi.

She went outside to the garden area to take some fresh air so that she could think something about this matter.

In avneil's room

Avni was trying to sleep while Neil was all snuggled to her pulling her closer. Avni huffed and he giggles burying his nose in her hair. She tilted her face towards him giving him a look.

Avni: neil so jao aur mujhe bhi sone do

Neil looks up. He grinned and shook his head.

Neil: nahi mujhe nind nahi aa rahi let's talk na

Avni: neil 12 baj gaye hai kal baat karenge

Neil: nahi avni please accha chalo ek game khelte hai

Avni: lo ab game khelni hai tumhe

Neil: haa you know this is my favourite game

He smirked giving her a naughty look. Avni frowned and shook her head but Neil was adamant so she agreed.

Neil: okay turned around

Avni: why?

Neil: its a game avni

Avni: ye kesi game hai?

Neil looked at her. She Sighed and turned showing her back to him. Neil grinned and lay down behind her. He pushed her hair at front and crawled his fingers onto the back of her neck.

Avni shut down her eyes clutching the duvet tightly. Neil came close to her ear.

Neil: tumhare liye kuch likh raha hu guess kar sako toh karlo

Avni opened her eyes slowly now understanding his game. She blushed and nodded her head. Neil smiled and started tracing his finger on her neck writing some or other things while avni was enjoying but at the same time felt goosebumps whenever he touched her neck sensuously.

He was enjoying seeing her been affected by his touch. When suddenly avni felt more ticklish sensation she couldn't control more and turned facing him. She was giggling covering her face with her hands. Neil was looking at her intensely when she didn't hear any voice she removed her hands and saw him ogling at her.

She lowered her eyes blushing profusely. Neil smiled and hovered over her and kissed her forehead keeping his lips there longer than usual. He pulled away and caresses her cheek drawing circles by his fingers. Avni opened her eyes and stared at him, her heart was pounding loudly inside her ribcage.

He pecked her nose and dragged his lips further down making both of them breathless by their closeness. His lips were an inch apart their hearts were racing rapidly.

He was about to close the distance between their lips but his phone started ringing. Avni widened her eyes and pushed him lightly. Thats when he came to the world but he was still in a daze. He looked at her confused, he was still didn't aware of his phone ring.

Avni: tumhara phone baj raha hai

She said innocently. Neil closed his eyes cursing the caller who broke their moment.

He took his phone and saw the caller id. Neil showed her his screen been annoyed. Avni chuckled turning her face away.

Neil: haa dd

He said through his gritted teeth. Other side dd gulped his saliva been horrified.

Dd: ss sir vo vo mai

Neil: ye sir mai vo kya kar raha hai jo batana hai jaldi bata

But Neil couldn't hear his voice properly. He pulled away his phone then again brought up to his ear but he still was unable to hear his voice.

Neil got up from the bed and walked near the window. After that dd's voice started coming clearly. They talked about regarding the case when Neil's eyes landed on the figure who was sitting on a bench in garden area.

Neil: mom

He stated confusingly. He disconnected the call. Avni heard him and walked towards him. After seeing shweta down there avni looked at neil.

Avni: kahi unki tabiyat phir se toh kharab nahi

Neil: chalo chalkar dekhte hai

Avni: haa

They both went downstairs after closing the door of their room. Neil was about to step outside but stopped not finding avni beside him. She was standing behind him and looked hesitant to go there.

Avni: neil vo kisi tension me lag rahi hai ho sakta hai mere saamne khul kar baat na kar paaye. Tumhi chale jao mai yahi rukti hu

Neil: avni but

Avni: Neil please

Neil: okay

He went to shweta while avni stood there near the main door.

Neil sat beside shweta quietly. Sensing someone's presence she looked towards her right and gets shocked seeing neil.
Her face was tear stained and eyes were red. Neil frowned seeing his mom like this.

Neil: mom kya hua aap is wakt yaha aur aap ro kyun rahi hai? Health thik nahi hai? Ham doctor ke paas chale?

Shweta cried more and hugged him. Neil was more worried now and looked at the direction avni was standing. She was also restless seeing her like this.

Neil caresses her hair kissing her forehead.

Shweta: I am sorry beta mujhe maaf karde. Mai bohot buri maa hu. Tu bhi mujhse nafrat karta hoga na? Mai hu hi is layak

She stammered while sobbing in his arms. Neil cupped her face and wiped her tears.

Neil: ye aap kya bol rahi hai mom, aapko kisi ne kuch kaha?

Shweta shook her head.

Shweta: mai tujhe sacchayi bata rahi hu. Tu jab shadi kar ke aaya toh mai shock ho gayi thi ye soch kar ki mere bete ne mujhe bataye bina shadi kar li. Ek baar bhi nahi bola ke vo kisi se pyaar karta hai ya kisi se shadi karna chahta hai bas apni biwi ko lekar aa gaya ham se milvane. But dhire dhire mujhe samajh aa gaya tune bhi vahi kiya jo tere papa ne kiya tha mere liye. Par in sab mai mujhse bohot badi galti ho gayi, jab mujhe pata chala ki juhi tujhse pyaar karti hai maine bina soche samjhe uska saath diya usse ye yakin dilaya ke tu bhi usse pyaar karta hai.
Sab meri galti hai aur maine juhi ki bhi life Barbaad kardi.

Listening this neil went numb. His mother was pouring her heart out in front of him but he was more shocked with the news of juhi in love with him.

Neil: mom juhi mujhse?

Shweta: haa tujhe kya lagta hai usne jo avni ke saath kiya tha vo bas ese hi mazaak me kiya tha? Nahi vo avni se nafrat karti hai usse tere saath dekh kar uski nafrat aur badh jaati hai.

Neil: but how can she expect me to love her back. This is ridiculous.

He fisted his hand firmly. Shweta spotted avni near the main door and smiled. Avni looked down and realised shweta had seen her.

Shweta: avni waha kyun khadi hai usse yaha bula

Neil looked at her and raised his hand telling her to come to them. Avni was hesitant. Neil stood up and walked towards her then take her with him to shweta.

Avni was looking down all the time feeling conscious. Shweta held her hand and made her sit beside him.

Shweta: mujhe pata hai tum kya soch rahi ho yahi na ki kaisi Saas mili hai tumhe. Jo har wakt tumhe ye ehsaas dilati hai ki Saas kabhi maa nahi ban sakti par ab nahi mai tumhari maa ban kar dikhaungi. Mai apni galti qubul karti hu please mujhe maaf kardo

She joined her hands infront of her. Avni immediately holds her hand shaking her head.

Avni: nahi please aap esa mat boliye aap ki koi galti nahi hai. Aap ki jagah koi aur hota toh vo bhi ese hi react karta.

Shweta: nahi galti meri hai mujhe maaf kardo please

Avni: ek maa kabhi apni beti se maafi maangti hai bhala. Aap ka pura haq hai mujh par shout karne ka ya meri galti hone par mujhe daatne ka.

Shweta caresses her face smiling softly and pulled her in her motherly warmth. Avni closed her eyes feeling at ease now. This is what she wanted and now she finally got her mother in her mother in law. Neil wiped his tear seeing the two important ladies of his life getting emotional. He clears his throat and kneel down in front of them.

Neil: hmm matlab aap dono ne puri planning Karli hai mil kar mujhe pareshan karne ki

They broke the hug and chuckled looking at him.

Shweta: bilkul ab ham Saas bahu milke tujhe khub pareshan karenge

Neil: accha aur mai akela? This is not fair

He pouts making a sad face.

Shweta: waise is ka bhi solution hai agar mini neil ya mini avni aa jaaye toh teri bhi team ban jaayegi kyun avni

Avni widened her eyes then looked down blushing profusely. Neil chuckled looking at her and held her hand.

Neil: mai toh kabse ready hu ab aap hi apni bahu ko samjhaiye

Avni couldn't take it more and ran from there blushing heavily. Neil and shweta burst into laughter seeing her shyness.

Shweta: ye toh sarma hi gayi. waise tu bhi kuch kam nahi hai saram nahi aati apni maa ke saamne esi baatein karte hue.

Neil: accha suruat kisne ki thi

He raised his eyebrows looking at her.

Shweta: bas bas ab bohot raat ho gayi hai chal andar

Neil: but seriously mom thank you so much. I am very happy finally sab kuch thik ho gaya

Shweta: haa

They both went inside talking and laughing remembering avni's red face. Shweta went inside her room and neil went upstairs.

As soon as he opened the door of their room a flying cushion came welcoming his face. He rubbed his nose and frowned. His eyes landed on avni who was sitting on the bed glaring at him.

He chuckled and climbed the bed. While she glared at him hard.

Avni: seriously you are laughing? Tumne kitna embarrass kiya mujhe aunty ji ke saamne

She bit her tongue cutely. Neil laughed and pulled her closer.

Neil: hmm aunty ji mom ko batana padega ke tumne abhi bhi unhe accept nahi kiya hai

He said wriggling his eyebrows. Avni pouts nodding her head in no.

Avni: nahi vo muh se nikal gaya

He smiled and kissed her forehead.

Neil: it's ok mai mazaak kar raha tha

Avni looked away crossing her hands over her chest.

Neil: accha sorry I swear dubara tumhe embarrass nahi karunga bas

Avni: sacchi

Neil: mucchi

Avni smiles and hugged him. He laid down on the bed with her in his arms and both drifted into deep slumber smiling softly.
