CHAPTER 16

AVNI POV

Its 16^th of the month. Four Neil free days, hmm.

I woke up early in the morning because I couldn't just sleep. My mind was struck on situation I was in.

I had Ash whose whole existence was totally unknown to others but I know they had a right to know but before others Neil had the most right.

But now when he knew I was back in the city, he won't make it easy for me to live in peace and surely tell whole khandan of my return.

And I wasn't ready to reveal Ash now in Neil's life if it had instability and itself a mess with me and Rhia. Ash deserved better, stability, but Neil deserved truth. I will tell him soon but not now.

But the problem now was how to keep Ash a secret.

Idea, and I walked from balcony to the room intercom, calling the desk downstairs "Hello. This is Avni Ayesha Khanna speaking. Front desk?"

"Yes Ma'am. How can I help you?"

"I want to book a room on the same floor as my present on the far corner from elevator and my room under my name as only Ms. Avni Ayesha Mehta and I don't want anyone not a single soul knowing about that room and who stays there. Got it."

"And if anyone ask about me tell about the room under Ms. Avni Ayesha Khanna. Not the other one."

"Sure Ma'am. We will prepare the room and you can access to it in 15 minutes." "Thank you"

Done. For every one I'm staying alone. Ms. Avni Ayesha Khanna

God only know when I will stop juggling my names as circus.

But people are fool they take bait on lies and rarely search truth even if it is front of them.

But Neil isn't fool, he has to find the truth and will find till it not out and before that I have to tell him making by myself the truths. Stupid Policegiri. Stupid Tillu and uski supercopgiri.

NEIL POV

After such an early start in morning. I decided to spread some good true news to my family at Khanna house.

So at 9, I drove there and entered the house at the time of Morning prayer and afterwards breakfast. I went in and stood joining my hands as Bebe did aarti .Myself wishing a single chant in mind. Give Avni back to me.

"Aare Tillu yous? In heres itni jaldi? Did sun uncle forgots his directions and grew froms ulti disha's?" Mom said walking over to me giving me prasad and putting tilak.

"No. My dear mother the sun did had a perfect landing today but what can't I come here now?" I asked teasing her a bit.

"No my tillu tu don't comes over heres so jaldi jaldi and its second time in hafta. Must be something special?" she replied

"Did you get promoted?" now guessing

"or you got transferred?" and now totally ridiculous "Mom."

"I will also go with my tillu. Or you leaving the job??" and starting to rambling.

"MOM. ANANYA IS BACK." Interrupting her before any more animated guesses came and the table went pin drop silent. Every face turned at stare at me.

Bebe chocked on her water that she was drinking starting coughing but still trying to talk in between.

I rushed to her leaving my seat offering her more water and lightly patting her on back for relief and could make out some broken sentences

"Ananya..." "Maafi magni he..." "bahu meri..."

"Bebe aram se..."

"Neil chal abhi chal Anaya puttar se paas chal muje jaana he. Maafi magni he." finally spoke in one sentence without coughing.

"Bebe woh abhi kisi se nahi milna karegi par I promise I will make her meet you as soon as possible."
"Neil mujhe apni bahu iss ghar me chahia ab tu kaise laye muje chinta nahi." "par.. bebe" to reason her that avni didn't want to see my face.

"Teri bebe ke liye itna nahi karega." Playing her emotional blackmail card,

he toh meri bebe unhe sab karna he aata he.

"Ji. Bebe."

"Chal nasta kar aur nikl yaha se." she said coming in her old form. I was happy to see her as same taunting and joking bebe as before after so long.

Even mom surprised us after encouraging me 'gets outs' showing her support, changing her previous years ago opinions and concept and seeing this Dad even grinned.

"Baas Ladli bahu ki khabar mili nahi ki kardiya paraya apne khod ke bte ko. Kya din aa gaye he." I said in a fake sad tone.

"Ha. Tillu tune muje kya dena he. Woh toh meri bahu degi mere tillu ka pillu."

Now it was my turn to choke on water, which I was drinking and whole table started laughing at my reaction.

"Kya...Arre bebe...Acha muje... na.. woh ..kaam..BYE."

I was so red I quickly excused making lame excuses to escape from a over happy family that made mission to make my future family plans but at same time they were daydreaming as they didn't have in reality to complete the dreams they saw open eyes without a family member, Avni or Ananya.

Her real name was still a secret to family and to fix the problems from the roots I had to work now triple shifts. Revealing Avni's true identity. Persusaing Avni and have her back. And most importantly. Solving the case now that Avni and Sage were connected. I can't endanger Avni in this case.

But first I had to find out where Ms. Ajooba was staying or my ass would be served to me by Neela ma then by Bebe and many other people later.

So. I called DD "Hello DD, tumhe pata he kya Avni kaha rah rahi he?"

"Nhi. Sir I don't know. Maine pocha nahi. Bhabhi ne na hi bataya."

"Acha thik he, tum case par kaam karo. And tell me if something important comes up at the station." Cutting the call.

Ab kya karo? Aur kisko pata hoga Avni ke bare me? Kise uski baat hoi hogi? Aman? Nahi. Ali? Nahi? Aditya? Definitely.

I called his office cell and he picked up on 3^rd ring "Hello. Sage co. Aditya Bhardwaj speaking."

"Hi. Aditya this is neil. I called to ask if you could tell me how I can reach your boss. Any contacts?"

"Is it related to the case? Ma'am has directed me to take all info if any comes up." Aah. Ma'am ka chumcha aur Teri pyaari ma'am.

Avni surely knows how to go underground, cutting her off from public if she wanted.

"Yes but I wanted to talk to her about more relating the case."

"Sure. I can take for her any messages."

Bad luck again. "No but thanks for the time. I will talk to her only."

Cutting the phone again myself.

Run your pretty brain Neil. She the boss, and you're too.

Boss. Boss stays in its own. Her hotel. yes, her company hotel.

I Googled it. Address. Yup, got it.

I messaged Neela ma with the address and her name with which she goes by in Sage.

And got a weird relaxation and relief when I saw and noticed that she used her real name with my surname even after all this time too. My Wifey.

Hoped maybe the meeting with Neela ma would make her somewhat less sturburn to not talk to me.

AVNI POV

Its 17^th of the month. 3 'NO Neil' days left.

The previous day was tiring with all the shifting the rooms and making excuses to Ash for his sudden shift from the previous room and not transferring my stuff, only his.

But making excuse was not difficult when Ash got the idea that he got the whole room to himself and was very terriotional about his new room making the two bedroom from which surprisingly his army of soft toys got one bedroom, not me. Boys but we had fun. Just like New York, just us two.

Why shift Ash to different room? Well its answer was soon answered after we had breakfast in next morning on 17^th in the balcony of new room enjoying full Maharashtra cuisine breakfast served by hotel.

We watched movies and played videogames on LED. While Ash watched his daily cartoon show series. I checked emails from company and mails for me on the coffee table. All in Ash's room.

Noon, I got a call from front desk that I had a visitor and quickly collected my laptop and mails opened and unopened and locked the room running in hallway to other room setting that room as if I was staying and working here.

After about 10 minutes, a knock sounded and I took my time opening it for whoever it was.

I was in regural jeans and a loose long t-shirt with hairs in messy bun and my specs on that I got after doing company so much paperwork. Well specsy is the new sexy. Checking my appearance.

I opened the door, "Neela ma." I said unsurprised because I had a feeling that she will be the first to find me wherever I was in Mumbai with her partner as a specific police officer .Mahan Super cop.

"Avni" she said and rushed to hug me. "Mera Bhacha." and listening her say that was so good and warm spread in me as I longed for these motherly arms for so long and which made forget all problems in her arms. After about 5 min

But after about 5 min in that position standing on the threshold was awkward so breaking the hug.

I opened the door wide for her to enter in the room. "Ma. Andar aao na."

She smiled and entered taking in the suite and I followed her inside in drawing room of the space and cleared the table of my laptop and mails that sat as props for decieveing and sat opposite her on the same couch as she sat.

"Paas ana avni. Itni dor kyu bethi he." but I was conflicted inside what reactions would be of Neela ma. Would she be angry I left? Would she scold me for leaving because only she can? Answer- I don't know. Many scenarios came in mind. But I came completely blank as she was Ma. She can do anything so I was a bit apprehensive.

I scooted towards her almost sitting beside her and she cupped my face in her hands. "Kahan tha Bhacha mera? I was so worried." and then withdrawing her hands.

"How can you that to me Avni? Neela ma kehti ho aur pata he iss ma ne kitna dukh saha ha apne Bhache se dor." She said tears filled in eyes as one slipped.

I can't see that happening "Ma. I just went away because I couldn't stay here. The marriage was fake and Dayavanti Mehta was behind the bars and Why Neil had to carry burden of my mistakes and I promised him his freedom from the marriage once my goal was completed, and it ended. So."

"Avni you went away. Away from Neil, Away from Aman, Away from me and all of us. Did you ever for a single second considered informing us where were you? NO."

"You won't understand I had problems that I couldn't tell and it would only made things a mess." I replied defending as I can't tell her about Ash now.

"Things were already a mess here Avni when you left. If you would had stayed, things would be so different now. Neil..."

Bus. Nahi. No discussing Neil. I cut her mid sentence.

"Ma. Maine jo decision liya me khush ho and I don't care if anyone has problem with it. I have a life and a responsibility 'SAGE'." Omitting Ashneel.

I had to loophole of this discussion. "I have my home in New York and a company there to run and finishing here the problems with the branch I will go back. So, now here I'm informing you about my plans for future that u won't be worried or have to. Fine."

" 'Fine' that what I get Avni?Well we will see about your future plans while some things happen." She said with her planning voice. I knew she has started a plan already.

"Hum jald mile ge Avni and come to 'another' home jo tumhre paas he, nanno or muje milne." She kissed my forehead and cupped my face starting me in eyes and smiled. something here was fishy.

Unknown to Avni, Her mother saw an invitation and its date and note- attendance compulsory even before her daughter could even open it. Already planning and playing strategies in mind.

She stood up and said hugging me "Avni, Bhacha assumptions relationship ko khokhla kar dete he. Aur mujhe lagta he tum apni zindagi assumptions me ji rahi ho." And walked herself out of the door but I stood there fixed thinking what did she meant by life living in assumptions.

I didn't live like that. I believed what I saw, not someone told me and believed them.

NEIL POV

It was in the evening that I got a text message from Neela Ma,

'Tumhare paas acha sa formal suit he??? Nahi he toh le lo.'

I was like "Kya??" ab Neela ma ko mere aur suit se kya kar na.

AVNI POV

That was exhausting, hiding things from ma when we shared each and every thing before. Its was frustrating. I opened mails and emails that were still pending to open.

At least all was fine with the company in New York as reports and emails told.

But going through mails I got an invitation to a gala cum fundraiser the next day. What the hell.

Well I was not going but when I saw the note- presence compulsory. Then there I was stuck again as head of Sage it would be bad image for me not to attend and It had formal dress code.

But what about Ash? I can't just leave him here alone but also can't take him. Dilemma.

Solution=AMAN. Calling him "Aman? Hello. Suno kal kya tum free ho? just two hours evening."

"Nahi di. I have a date with my girlfriend." He said awkwardly but here was I, forgetting the previous question. "Oohh. Kyun he? Mere Bhai ki Girlfriend ha? Hum kab mil rahe he?" I teased him.

"Di. Nehul is my best friend/ girlfriend u can meet her anytime, she dying to meet you per aap ko mere free hone se kya?"

I explained him and he offered "I can have Ash with me if u don't have problem with Nehul. I can impress her with my new cool Mammu style. You know."

"Acha beta. Tuje apne bhatije ka ab yahi kaam rah gaya he."

"I was joking, di per aap ko koi problem toh nahi."

"Nahi and thank you again tum bahut baada support ho mere liye."

"Bus di. Kar diya na paraya acha chalo bye. I have another call coming."

"Ha. Ha. Ja Teri Nehul ka hoga. Oops Sorry I'm disturbing." I laughed as I disconnected the call.

That was settled I signed and I went to Ash's room to tell him all about that happened and we had dinner.
