In India at Malthora's mansion.

Laughters echoed through the room as the ladies sat down in living room sharing and gossiping about their respective partner more like complaining habits of their husband. They all stopped laughing when their heard Avni's phone ringing. They all looked at her and smirks knowing whose call might be.

They all give her teasing smile and asked her to check her phone but she rushed it and looking at the caller id she disconnected the call making them confuse and thought why isn't she answering the call but they didn't question her and starts gossiping.

They were again disturbed when Nandini's phone rang. Nandini frowns wondering what might have called knowing it can't be Manik because he said he will be busy whole with his work but nevertheless she took her phone out and looks at the caller id.

Nandini : why is Neil calling me at this time? Avni why aren't you answering his call? Did you both fight or what? What happened between you guys?

Everyone turns looking at Avni who avoiding glancing at them shakes her head and sighing to herself she stood and left the room leaving the rest confused but nevertheless no one questioned her.

Nandini's thoughts was broken she heard the phone ringing again. She looks at the caller id and not understanding what might have happened she sighs and answered the call and thought to tease him .

Nandini : hello Neil. How are you? I thought you dialed the wrong? Aren't you supposed to call someone else or is it you missed me a lot?

Neil : hello Bhabhi. I'm doing great How are you? How's everyone at home? Bhabhi are you trying to take your revenge back or what because you indeed succeeded the plan. I do miss you a lot. In fact I miss everyone back home. I called you because I wanted you to ask you something. Where are you? At home or hospital?

Nandini chuckles and leans back crossing her legs she looks at others whose attention was on her.

Nandini : I'm good too. Everyone else is good great too. They do miss you a lot thought. When are you planning to come back? What happened? What is it you want to ask? Is everything okay?

Neil: yes Bhabhi everything is okay. Is Avni around you? She isn't answering my call. Can you please pass the phone to her. I urgently need to talk to her.

Nandini : I was right. You both guys fought over something. It's alright. I total understand. Devar I am really sorry but she isn't here with us. She walked out to your room when she heard you calling.

Neil : it's alright Bhabhi. I will speak to her later. She is just angry and annoyed with me. I know how to pacify her. Can I also speak to mom then?

Nandini : i know you will short out of the problems between you both. I trust you Neil. Of course. Let me pass the phone to mom. Wait a minute what happened? Are you okay Neil? You don't seem to be well? Did you catch a cold or something?

Neil coughs rubbing his nose with tissue and leans back against the headboard resting his head and smiles lightly seeing Nandini's concern.

Neil : yes Bhabhi. I am okay. I just got a cold. Please don't worry. I will be fine once I take some rest.

Nandini : Neil! Please take care of yourself. I will pass the phone to mom. Okay.

Nandini looks at Neyoinka who got worried when she heard about Neil's health and taking the phone off Nandini starts talking to Neil.

Neyoinka : hello Neil. How are you? What am I hearing Neil? You are not unwell. What happened? Did you catch cold? Is it really bad? Should I come over there? How will you take of yourself alone?

Neil : hello mom. How are you? Mom you are unnecessary taking stress. It's normal cold. I will be fine once I rest well. Please mom you don't need to come here. I will be okay. Mia is also here to look after me. Mom I wasn't going to tell because I knew you will got worried and starts panicking.

Neil smiles and signals Mia to come inside who comes with the soup she prepared. She kept it down and mouthing him to finish it all leaves the room.

Neil palms his face and groans loudly when he heard Neyoinka who began scolding for being careless. He spoke to everyone and bidding bye to them ended the call.

Neyonika :I really don't know what to do this boy? He never takes care of himself and always ended up getting sick. How is he going to manage himself alone. Even Bebe isn't with him. I am so worried.

At the same time Manik comes back from the office and slumps beside Nandini placing his head on her shoulder and looks at his mother and smiles at her.

Manik : what is happening? What plots are you ladies making against me now! Mom why do you look worried? Did something happen?

Neyoinka : Neil is sick. He called us few minutes ago before you got here. He looked very sick Manik. I don't know what to do. where is your father?

Manik : what? What happened to him? When I spoke to him in the morning he was all fine? Is he okay? Is it really bad? Dad is coming. He is talking to someone over the phone. Mom he will be okay.

Manik sits back hearing about Neil and got worried. At the same time Raj comes there and looks at them while taking his seat next to Neyoinka.

Raj : what happened? No one is looking happy?

Manik : dad. Neil is not well and mom is getting worried and tensed. She is thinking of visiting him to London.

Raj : what? How did it happen? Is he okay? Neyoinka you didn't even tell me. How could you not tell me? Did any one of you speak to Neil? Neyoinka is right. I think we should and visit Neil.

Neyoinka : Raj! I am sorry. Even I didn't knew. Neil called us before you came and he found out he is sick. Can you please book flights tickets urgently? I want to be with him. I am so worried for him.

Manik : mom & dad! Clam down. This isn't right to panic or to get worried. I am sure Neil will be fine. I don't think he would want you both worrying and going to him leaving the work behind.

Neyoinka : what do you want us to do Manik? He's sick and alone there. I am not going to sit here and not get worried for him. Raj I don't want to hear anything. I will go to London. I am not listening to anyone. I don't care if you can't come with me.

Manik and Raj sighs knowing Neyoinka is very adamant and will do what she wants to do. No one can stop. Manik and Raj exchanged a look.

Raj : Neyoinka. We won't stop you from going to London but how can you forget tomorrow you also have to go Dubai to attend my friend's son wedding. I know you are worried for Neil, even I am worried for him but please think about it. Neil is adult now and I am sure he can take care of himself.

Neyoinka looks at Raj and tried understanding what he was saying. She took a minute and sighs realising how quick she got worried and starts taking decisions. She also knows Neil wouldn't like if he finds out that she came to London not attending the wedding. He couldn't be happy with her.

Neyoinka : I'm sorry Raj. I got worried and thought being with Neil makes me less worried. I didn't think about our flight tomorrow night. I am sorry.

Raj smiles and pulls her in side hug and pecks her head making everyone smile at them.

Raj : it's okay love. I do understand where you are coming from. It's very normal for mothers to feel worry and stress when their children are not well.

Neyonika smiles and rested her head on his chest and looks at Manik before apologising to him.

Neyoinka : Manik. I am sorry. I shouldn't have shouted at you. Please give me Manik.

Manik : mom. Please don't apologies to me.

Neyoinka smiles at him. They all began talking and Nandini looks at her husband who stood up and excusing himself went to their room to freshen up.

Nandini snaps her head looking at her when her phone peeped with a message. She looks at the message and blushed seeing Manik's message.

Manik : hey love. Can you please come to our room? I need your help. I am waiting for you.

Bitting her cheeks she looks at the elders who was engaged in talking then her eyes fall on the girls who smirks and winked at her making her blush more.

Excusing herself she climbs the stairs and went to their room. She pushed the door and closing the door turns around only to gasp loudly when Manik trapped her between the door and himself.

He smirks and puts his arm around her waist and ten other one on the door. He looks at her and bringing his hand closer to her face starts stroking her face softly and leans forward to kiss her.

Nandini coming out of the shock palms her face and glares him pushing him away but Manik pulls her closer to him and leans forward smashing his lips against her lips. Nandini struggled to keep with his pace as she responded the kiss with affection and love.

Manik's hand went around her waist pulling her more closer to him and kissed her so hard with full passion and love. Nandini's fingers into his hair and gripped it tightly as she kissed him back.

Manik broke the kiss and looks at her who blushed hidden herself in his embrace. He chuckles and dropped a kiss on her head and caressed her hair.

Manik : it feels so amazing and perfect to come home after a long day and having you in my embrace. It feels I bliss. I love you so much love.

Nandini : I love you too Mani. I missed you so much today. How was your work? You look drained out. Was everything okay at work?

Manik : yes love! Everything was okay but tiring. I can't wait when Neil comes back and takes most of my work on his shoulder. I wish he was here.

Nandini : don't overwork yourself mani. You should look after yourself. You could fall ill if you don't be careful with your health. Please take cad of yourself. I don't you want you to be sick.

Manik smiles at her concern and broke the hug and cupping her face placed a kiss on her head.

Manik : I will be careful about the work love. I am going to take shower. Can you please help me with the clothes? I am too lazy and tired to do anything.

Nandini chuckles and kissing his cheek moves to closet to take his clothes out whereas Manik smiles and rubbing his cheek went washroom to take a shower while blushing himself.

In London at Malthora's mansion.

Having couple hours of sleep Neil woke up and felt horrible being alone and the sickness wasn't helping him at all. He took his phone and looks at the time.

He sighs seeing the time and sat up and went to washroom to wash his face. He comes back and sits on bed and takes his phone and thought to call Avni.

He dials her number and hoped she would be awake. He knew he was being selfish hoping she would be awake because he wanted to speak to her and clear the misunderstanding they have between them.

His thoughts was broken when he heard her voice. He coughed a little and laid himself down covering himself with duvet and sense of relief rushed down his heard hearing her soft voice.

Avni : hello Neil. Are you okay? I am sorry. I shouldn't have ignored you. How are you feeling?

Soon as she heard about him being sick she couldn't herself from calling him but stopped thinking to let him rest. She felt guilty and stupid for ignoring him.

Neil: hell baby. I am okay. It's alright. I know it my mistake too. I shouldn't have let that happen. I am sorry. I am feeling much better.

Avni: can you please not talk about that now? I don't want to talk about that. Please Neil. I got so worried when I heard you are sick. Did you eat anything? Did you take your medicine? I warned you to be careful but do you ever listen to me. Now look at you.

Neil : I am sorry baby. I just got cold nothing major. I will be fine within few days. How you are not asleep yet? It's very late over there.

Avni: I couldn't sleep and I was worried and feeling guilty ignoring you all day. I am sorry Neil. Please forgive me. I really sorry. I am really feel bad.

Neil: baby. It's not your fault. You don't need to apologise. If I were you then I would have reacted the same way as you. I am sorry. I should have be more careful. I should have pushed her when she kept throwing herself at me. Baby you do know I love you only. I love you so much baby. She doesn't mean anything to me. She is just fellow of mine.

Avni : Neil I don't your explanation. I know very you well. I didn't why I reacted that way seeing the articles about you and her. I didn't like the way she throwing herself at him despite seeing you being uncomfortable by her actions. I hate that girl Neil. I am sorry I reacted that way. I know you love me a lot. I also you love you a lot Neil. I trust you.

Neil smiles and starts coughing. He took some water and drank it. On the other hand Avni got worried.

Avni : Neil. Are you okay? Did you visit the doctor?

Neil : baby. I am okay. I don't like visiting the doctor. I will be fine. It happens every time when I catch cold. I will be okay within few day. Baby you should go to sleep now. It's very late over there.

Avni : I am so worried for you and feeling so helpless right now not being able to be with you Neil. Please take care of yourself and sleep after taking medicine.

Neil nodded his head and bidding bye to her ended the call and took his medicine and closing his eyes slept being tired and due to medicine effect.
