Those lines were from Mohabbatein right . I could hear SRK saying it . It was a pure love story where SRK lives in memories of Ash same like Neil. It was so apt here .Kk😆 I remember that scene where he barges into his cabin 😆Now Avni has decided to shift . I guess Sayesha will make a drama .Please have Ali man . I'm missing him on screen. I expected Ali to be with Neil but it was DD and Mitali
AvNeil SS ~ Colliding Each Other...Again
Instalment 4
Tere dar par sanam, chale aaye. Tu na aaya toh hum, chale aaye. Chale aaye, chale aaye ~ I came to your doorstep, my love. You didn't come, so I came along to get you back.
Same day, Evening
Khanna House
'fufu..' A little girl of six gleefully sprinted towards Neil when he returned from his radio station. Neil was pleasantly surprised seeing the unexpected visitors at his house. Shewta, Prakash and Bebe wanted to make a trip to Canada to visit Maddy, hence they had taken an afternoon flight. Nevertheless, shrugging off all his thoughts he hugged the little girl.
'How's my champ?' Neil asked, raising the girl high in the air, earning a mirthful giggle from her.
'good' came a reply from her, smiling showing all her milk teeth to her uncle.
'Talia, get down. Fufu ka shoulder dard dega.' Ali walked towards the duo, persuading his daughter to come down.
'Ah! No, Ali. I'm absolutely fine, besides I like to have her in my arms. She is my cute little munchkin, you know.' Neil remarked winking at Ali and ruffling Talia's curly locks with affection. Ali shook his head, grinning at the gestures of his friend towards his daughter.
'How was your trip?' Neil asked, settling themselves on the couch with Talia sitting on Neil's thigh and Ali beside him.
Don't ask, bro. Your other friend who apparently is my wife is such a big spoil sport. Jaha bhi jao, kaam ko apne saath lekar aati hai. We made a wonderful plan to visit Avanlanche Lake, so we got ready early morning and jaise hi hum nikalne wale the, she got a call from station regarding some case. That's it, plan spoiled.' Ali humphed while replying, 'Avni hoti naa, toh who bhi aise hi---' He stopped abruptly seeing Neil's fallen face with the mention of Avni.
'Sorry' Ali placed his palm over Neil's, trying to comfort the latter.
'I'm fine, Ali. Absolutely alright.' Neil responded, not making an eye contact with Ali.
Neil turned his attention to his niece who chatted away animatedly about the places they visited during their trip to Ooty. He smiled at the little girl as she revealed the little mischiefs she did during their vacation while Ali had an amused expression watching the duo.
Shayad tum yaha hoti Avni, maybe we would also have had our children, even we would have had planned vacations like these, everybody would have spoiled our little ones with so much of affection. Neil sighed, well aware that these thoughts would lead to nowhere instead bring only pain to his already broken heart and aching soul.
I'm sorry Neil, galti se hi sahi maine hurt kiya tumhe. I'm extremely sorry. Ali mentally apologised to his friend who was lost in his thoughts.
"Toh main aapke liye spoilsport lagti hoon Mr.Ali. How mean of you!' Mitali barged into the living room of the Khanna House, taking Neil and Ali by surprise while Talia ran towards her,
'mumma'
Ali fumbled with his words, 'No..no I did not mean to say like what you have understood. I was just saying that you always involve yourself so much into work. You don't have enough time to spend with us.'
'aisa nahi hai Ali, it's just that work is also important for me as much as you three are' Mitali replied, pointing towards Ali, Neil and Talia. Ali smiled, nodding at her before Neil ushered her to sit down with them. The trio talked with each other, Mitali was filling them details of the recent drug dealing mafia case which she was handling.
'If you need any help, do let me know. Though I have resigned from police force, my informers will be more than happy to work with you.' Neil stated earning a 'thank you' from her.
'guys, you both sit here for a while, I'll pack few clothes for myself and then join you again. Dinner khake hi jana hai, no excuses.' Neil was about to move when he heard Ali asking,
'Are you going anywhere?'
Shrugging off, Neil replied, 'yeah, to Kashid. Work related.'
'and what work does an RJ have in Kashid?' Mitali asked.
'no...nothing great to speak about.' Neil dashed towards his room, leaving Ali and Mitali suspicious. They followed Neil till his room, relentlessly questioning him about his work for they knew him hiding something meant danger, some risk he was taking upon himself.
'Neil, unless and until you don't speak up we're not allowing you pack your clothes.' Ali stated, pulling out the arranged clothes from suitcase while Neil stood shocked.
'speak up or I will have to use third degree treatment.' Mitali was removing her wrist watch when Neil confessed,
'body double of some Karan Kapoor. Stunts.'
To say, Ali and Mitali were furious would be an understatement to what they had going inside them.
'are you mad Neil? We did not stop you from participating in those hazardous bike races, but that doesn't mean we will let you do whatever you want. No, absolutely no. Ring up the man and tell him you will not be doing anything which endangers your life.' Ali was the first one to break the silence.
'please Ali, let me just do this. Btw, these stunts, risks, they're fun to do.'
'fun to do or want to have glimpses of Avni' This time it was Mitali who spoke. Neil turned away from them, with his gaze now fixed on the ceiling. Flashing a humourless smile, he turned around to reply,
'joh samajhna hai, samjho. I really don't care.'
'you will, because I am going to accompany you.' Ali said taking Neil aback. Neil tried to speak something when he was cut off by Mitali,
'Ali is right, he will be giving you company. Make travel arrangements for him as well.'
'Ali, Mita, trust me I'll be fine. I am no five year old kid to be taken care of.'
'chuck that off Neil Khanna. While you may not remember, I cannot break the promise made to Avni who asked me to take care of you.' Ali replied. Neil sighed, knowing well how stubborn his friends can be until they achieve what they want.
Scowling, he replied 'fine'
'good boy. Gotta go, have some packing to be done. When will be leaving btw?' Ali popped the question.
'tomorrow afternoon, once my show finishes off.'
Mitali, Ali and Talia left short while later.
==========
Night
Finally done with the packing, Neil settled himself on the bed with laptop on his thighs and a pizza box with diet coke on his right, disturbing an ill Bheema was not an option he would choose and he had no energy left for cooking something edible after an exhausting day. Listening to classic old songs in his playlist, he leaned on the headrest of his bed when a Skype call flashed on laptop screen. Straightening himself, Neil received the call.
'hey Aman, how're you? Long time since we conversed.'
'yes jiju, I'm absolutely fine. Work load, new project. How about you? How's your show running?' Aman enquired.
'all well.' Neil replied. He could sense scuffle behind the camera.
'Aman, turn to Kareena.' Neil told to which Aman obliged.
'hello, bhai. Kaise ho aap?' Kareena chirped.
'ek dum theek. Tu kaisi hai aur meri baby kaisi hai?' Neil asked.
'pareshaan kar rakha hai isne, doesn't let me sleep well, midnight cravings, moodswings and what not.' It was Aman who replied earning a whack from Kareena bringing a mirthful smile on Neil's face.
'but the feeling of becoming a parent is so overwhelming, jiju. Kaisa tha main, bilkul adiyal, swarthi, matlabi par aaj jab khudko dekhta hoon toh bohot achcha mehsoos hota hai jiju. All thanks to you.'
'bas kar Aman, rulaega kya.' Neil faked tears.
They chatted for quite a long time, way past midnight when Aman announced to retire for the day. Ending the call with a good night, Neil gobbled down his dinner and called it a night.

Phew! End of chapter 4. I did not like even a percent of what I have written, felt it was plain and downright boring more sort of a filler update. But please try to bear with me for few more days, I have few important tasks to be done in real life and I cannot afford to miss them. Will possibly take a short break from the forum before I begin writing again.
Chapter ya koi character pasand na aaye toh chappal ka no.8 hai aur main heels nahi pehenti hoon, zarur bhej dijiye ga. Aapka tohfa qubool hoga. No rotten tomatoes or eggs please.
Cheers,
Nivedita
