Maya frowned.

Maya: means?

Neil: means, I came to shop for Avni. It's her birthday the day after tomorrow.

Maya: oh.

Neil: yes.

Maya: hmm, wife's slave.

Neil: No, wife's loving husband.

Maya nodded and then they smiled.

On the other side, Avni entered the mall with Shweta. She came to buy some things and her clutch was hanging across her shoulder. They talked and moved forward while talking. Avni and Shweta entered the elevator and it moved up. Avni and Shweta came out and they talked. They got separated.

Avni was passing by the corridor and she turned her face. Avni looked here and there and then she stopped. Avni felt that she saw something and she thought. Avni turned her face and she was shocked to see Neil sitting with Maya in the café. They were smiling and talking. Two cups of coffee were kept on the table. Neil showed a box to Maya. Avni couldn't see the gift but she guessed that it is a pendant or bracelet. Avni got shocked. Avni was looking at them. Avni thought and she took out her phone from her clutch. Avni dialed a number and kept her phone on her ear.

Neil was sitting in the café and his phone rang on the table. Neil saw Avni's number and he got surprised.

Maya: hmm, wife's call.

Neil smiled and took his phone. Avni was looking at them and she saw that Neil kept his finger on his lips and asked Maya to keep quiet. Avni got shocked. Neil received the call.

Neil: Hello, yeah, Av

Avni: where are you?

Neil got shocked and frowned. Neil looked at Maya and thought.

Neil in mind: If I told Avni that I am with Maya then she will make an issue of it.

Neil was thinking and Avni was waiting for his reply.

Avni: say, Neil, where are you?

Neil came out of his thoughts.

Neil: hmm... ab, aa, I, I am in the police station.

Avni got shocked.

Neil smiled fakely and said: where can I be at this time... Ab, Why?

Tears formed in Avni's eyes. Avni wiped her tears.

Avni: nothing.

Neil found Avni's voice heavy.

Neil: Avni? Are you ok?

Avni sighed.

Avni: yeah. Ok, bye.

Avni cut the call and she fumed. Avni ran from there.

Neil looked at his phone and was confused. Neil thought.

Maya: what happened?

Neil looked at Maya and said: hmm.

Neil thought.

Neil: ab, nothing. She cuts the call.

Maya: then why called?

Neil shrunk his shoulders.

Neil: don't know.

Maya: Neil, don't mind but don't you think that Avni is clingy?

Neil looked at Maya.

Maya: at your wedding reception, she had not left your side for a second and was clinging to you.
