Naamkarann Epilogue series FF, Chp 13 pg 8 final part updated - Page 4

Neil called Avni to their room. As she arrived, she saw a small table with breakfast and her favourite poha. She sat on chair,once Neil pulled the chair. He took the plate and served poha, then with his own hands he asked her to eat. Once she ate first bite, he asked " hai naa bilkul Ali ke chamko cafe jaisa poha". As she smiled, her welled up too, because somewhere in handling family responsiblities her dreams had taken a back seat of which one was to open cafe with Ali and other was to be a successful director just like Ashish Mehta.

Neil said "Avni I understand pichle kuch dino se our life has been in turmoil. Papa ke health, aur business ke pressure ke karan hum dono ek dusre ko time hi nahi de paa rahe the. Avni tumne papa ka bahut ache se dhyan rakha and am thankful for that. Par family life jeena matlab yeh nahi ki tum apne sapne bhul jao. I want to see you as a successful director. Tum papa ki tension mat lo, ab woh mom handle kar lengi. Aur mowgli ka school aur padai woh sab ke lie ek home tutor lagwa lenge,rest mein handle kar lunga. I want you to concentrate on your carrer now. Tumne kaha tha naa koi Mr Dixit,go and work under him"

As decided, Avni started to work as assistant director for a short telefilm whose shoot lasted for 10 days. But the production house seemed happy with her work, hence she handled 2 fashion photoshots as well as one shot for a song.But since being a director meant to work on freelance basis, she needed a break for a substantial movie so that she could acheive her dream of being best director.

While Avni completed her short term assisgnments,Neil too opted for a balance timing, giving time for his family as well. Soon the corporate life was becoming boring for him, and he understood that he also needs to give time too something that interests him.

Neil has not yet resigned from Raabta fm, but he was on leave. As Avni suggested, they soon hired an intern who would do the back work for Neil,while he hosted the show at night,just for one hour.

Everything was falling in place, both had found their new proffesional identity, but still there were miles to go. On one night when Avni slept in Neil's arms ,he said in her ears " Avni ab aisa lagta hai jaise sab kuch thik hone laga hai. Ek baat hai jo mein tumse share karna chahta hoon. Pichle 10 saal maine mowgli ka bachpan miss kar diya, usse god mein uthana, haath pakad ke chalna sikhana. I want to relieve those dreams again. Now if you agree, kya hum ek aur baby plan kar sakte hai"

Avni didn't want to make him sad because she felt guilty for his unfulfilled dreams. But it was safe to ignore the question and she replied "Neil abhi mein bahut thak chuki hoon. Hum iske baare mein kal baat kare"

It was a Sunday, monsoon had arrived in Mumbai. Avni was busy preparing some evening snacks, while listening to radio, where RJ played some rainy songs. As Avni went outside to check what Neil was doing RJ played the song "gunja sa hai kou iktara"

Neil was in lawn doing pushups, the sweat drops falling from his face made him more hot and sexy. It was hard for Avni to take off her eyes from him. Just then the first rains started and mowgli asked his dad to play football with him.

As they played , Avni remembered Neela maa words "mein ek cool nani bana chahti hoon,apne grand children ke saath football khelna chahti hoon". Though she was not there now,but atleast her dreams of having two grandchildren can be fullfilled.

Hidden behind the door Avni realized that for this dream to achieve she would need Neil's help. As she lustfully saw Neil,his eyes caught her red handed. Shying away she ran indoors but he understood, that Avni was ready to take their relationship to next level.

After a long time Avni and Sunheri were alone at home and it seemed perfect to talk to have heart to heart talk. Avni said " Sunheri ab toh mein bhi settle ho gayi hoon , ek din tara sitara bhi shaadi kar legi aur yahan se chali jayegi. Tu bhi kisi ko dhund le naa, puri zindagi akele rehne ka irada hai kya". She replied " akele kahan yaar, par yeh dil jisse laga hai woh toh kahin dur hai, ab tu hi bata mein kisi aur se shaadi kaise kar lun". Avni understood she was talking about DD , so she answered " Don't worry abhi mujhe ek break mila hai as a movie director, uska ek part shoot ka Mumbai mein shoot hoga jo abhi mein kar rahi hoon aur ek part Nagpur ke pass ek village hai wahan pe. DD bhi wanhi posted hai Nagpur mein agar mujhe time mila toh mein tere aur uske rishte ki baat zarur karungi"

A worried Sunheri replied "Avni tu pagal ho gayi hai kya, ek toh tu pregnant hai , last time yaad nahi doctor ne teri pregnancy mein itne complications the ki kahan tha second pregnancy mein Zada dhyan rakhna, aur tu, abhi kaam bhi kar rahi hai , phir travel karegi, mujhe teri chinta ho rahi hai yaar, yeh sab kaise hoga". Avni stopped her inbetween and answered " main janti hoon ki last time mujhe bahut problems hui thi par mere saath tu thi naa, aur iss baar toh Neil hai mere saath . Aur jab bhi hum dono saath hote hai naa toh mujhe kuch nahi ho sakta. dekhna sab ache se ho jayega" .

Sunheri nodded her head, but she knew that it will not be easy for her best friend, since last time the doctor had clearly indicated the her next pregnancy could have more complications endangering her life and here Neil didn't have an iota of idea about it.

As planned Avni left for Nagpur for the shoot of her movie 'Paani' based on scarcity of water to shoot for the next part of movie, some 102 km away from the city. However, Neil called her time to time to check if she was taking good care of herself. His mind was not ready to believe, that she would be able to handle it alone and he also had to see who was adulterating the food products of the Khanna industries . So, he left earlier than his planned visit which was 10 days later.

However, as this information was received by the local corporator, he planned to get Neil Khanna meet with an accident, so that he is not able to come to the city only. It was late at night , when he was driving on a highway to Nagpur when an overspeeding truck came from behind which tried to hit his car. But Neil jumped on time, then few goons came to have a fight with him, in his half unconscious state he fought. Then somebody came, to save him, with blows and punches the goons left away.

Next Neil opened his eyes in the hospital, when he asked the masked nurse " yahan kaun laya mujhe kya aap bata sakti hai". As she replied "Tha koi bhala insaan". He was not convinced with her answer, because he was sure it was not a man, but a woman, but who was she and why she tried to help me. May police had a better idea on it. He asked " yeh toh police case hai naa toh police kahan hai , mera statement lena hoga naa unko". The nurse replied "statement kal lenge, abhi ap aaram karo aur chup chap se yeh soup piyo". As he concentrated it was the same voice, same nail paint of that helping woman, he asked "Kaun ho tum, maine pucha kaun ho tum".

Avni removed her mask and replied " mein hoon baba tumhari wifey, kal tumhara accident ho gaya tha. DD ne mujhe bataya ki tum yahan hospital mein ho. Ab visiting hours toh khatam ho gaye the toh tumse milne ke liye mujhe aise aana pada. Don't worry DD sab eyewitness le raha , woh kaun tha jisne yeh sab karwaya aur kyun jaldi pata chal jayega" . Impressed by her reply , he asked " aur insab mein tum meri help karogi, puch sakta hoon kyun". She smiled and said " kyunki mein tumheri wifey ho, bhul gaye " He pulled her back and said " mujhe toh humesha yaad rehta hai par tum kabhi kabhi bhul jati ho"
