CHAPTER 10Shweta and Prakash ji were in very deep sleep. Just then they hear a very fierced knock. Prakash wakes up checks hus watch. "12 o clocks. Is waqt kon ho sakta hai". Putting on his night robe he rushed to open the gate.
As he opened the gate Avni entered with a chocolate flavored cake. "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD" she wished as she hugged him. Shweta smiled at both of them.
"Thank you puttar i almost forgot" replied Prakash .
"Dad here you go. Now your dream of that hospital will start to take up its shape" she handed him landdeal papers that Neil gave her.
"wow!! This is the best gift i could get. But how did you covinced that spoilt brat??" he looked at her questioningly.
"He was surely a tough nut to crack but you know na your daughter is the best" Avni replied.
Both of them were so proud to have a daughter like her. They cut the cake and celebrated FATHER'S DAY.
Avni was cooking for Neil in the kitchen and he was assisting her. His own way of being close to her. She cooked rajma chaval for him.
Neil : Ummn! They are delicious.
Avni : Thanks.
Neil : Credit mat lo. Maine assist kiya isliye itna tasty hai.
Avni : oh really!! Aye bade "maine assist kiya". Ek kaam to theek se kiya nahi. Instead simple se task me apne inputs dekar difficulty level badha diya.
Neil : ek to help ki upar se attitude. No gratitude.
Anyway you learnt it from your mom.
Avni : yes!! And too within a year. Specially for you.
Last line slipped out of her mouth by mistake.
Food got choked in Neil's throat. And he coughs.
Neil : mere liye????
Avni : i... I ... Mean... Sirf tumhare liye hi bna rahi hoon. Otherwise mom handle all this at home.
He smiled.
Avni : by the way today is Father's Day. Did you wished your Dad???
Neil : we don't do such childish things. Neither i m interested nor dad.
Avni didn't wanted to be too nosy. So she continued
Avni : actually i really enjoy doing such childish things and my dad too.
Neil : lucky you.
Avni : but today i have no idea what to give him.
Neil immediately suggested "A card"
Avni looked at him in disbelieve.
Neil : i mean what could be more childish.
Avni : that's a great idea but i m not so creative.
Neil : no problem. I'll help you.
They made the card together. Avni was surprised to see him behaving just like a child. She was admiring his child like innocence while he was busy making card.
The card was ready and it was damn cute and beautiful.
The first line he wrote himself " Dear Dad, Thank you for that large amount of care, endless warmth and a heart full of love." Although the line was quite simple but it had a broad meaning.
Avni : This is awesome.
Neil : Ah !! Thanks.
Avni : credit mat lo. I assisted na that's why the outcome is awesome.
Neil burst into laughter. Avni felt really satisfied seeing him happy and laughing.
"You know Mr Kapoor laughter is infectious. The sounds of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle or sneeze. When laughter is shared , it binds people together and increase happiness and intimacy. Always be happy like this" with these words she picked the card up and headed towards door to leave
Neil grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him, "Avni you only told me we are friends then why you never called me NEIL".
"I wish the day to arrive soon when I'll be able to call you NEIL wholeheartedly. She smiled and left leaving behind a confused Neil.
Avni was at home when she recieved a call from hospital. Avni was in tears. She grabbed the car keys and zoomed off to the hospital at jet speed.
She was running. She was tired and was out of breathe when she saw Neil standing in front of her.
She was shocked to see the sight before her. She recalled the call"mam a person has met with an accident and he asked us to inform you. Please come fast".
Neil's head was bleeding. His face was covered in blood. His white shirt was all red in blood.
She ran to him cupped his face and started crying.
"You O.k. Na. Ye sab kaise hua. Kitna blood loss hua hai." Avni said sobbing.
"Avni i m o.k... This blood isn't mine. Now listen to me you're a brave girl o.k. So don't cry. Actually when i was going to meet Shlok. When i saw a person lying on road. His car crashed with a truck." he explained.
Avni relaxed a bit as she realized that he is not hurt except that small wound at his forehead.
"Ohh !! How's he now?? His family must be worried. " Avni said.
Neil cupped her face "Avni he's is your dad".
She lost her balance. Neil supported her.
"He had a lot of blood loss. But luckily i had the same blood group. He's out of danger now" Neil assured her.
Avni went inside the ward holding Neil's hand.
"How is he doctor" she enquired.
"Now he is out of danger. Thanks to this gentleman who not only carried him to hospital on time but also donated blood" he replied.
Avni sat down near an unconscious Praksh and started weeping.
"Dad i can't afford to loose anyone now. Everyone i loved eventually left me. But now i won't let anyone depart" Avni said holding his hand.
Neil kept his hand on her shoulder to console her.
"I have informed your mom she must be reaching anytime". Neil informed Avni.
Something striked Avni she asked Neil to leave as her mom could get scared seeing so much blood. As he was leaving Prakash holded his hand subconsciously. A lone tear fell down Neil's eyes which didn't went unnoticed by Avni. He left wishing him a speedy recovery.
