************************
there were a lot of things i wanted to add. Like a nightmare sequence akin to one shown on the show. Maybe ali and asmara's wedding and few more Avmi neil peanut scenes. But wasn't very sure where i would have added them. I definitely wanted a ramayan reading scene between bebe and avni. And a baby shopping scnee
May be something similar to silence of the lambs scene when it came to kidnapping, but i was just playing with ideas in my head. nothinh was perfect or confirmed
But this is it i guess. I Have given you everythingethat i could in this time frame.
Big hugs from my side to you guys!
Hope you liked theplot.
