Hearing the alarm ring, Avni woke up. She put off the alarm and turned towards Ansh's side. She sighed looking at the empty space. She was just wondering where he could be when suddenly the bathroom door opened and Ansh came out wiping his hair with the towel. He looked at Avni for a second and then quickly turned towards his cupboard to take out his suit.

"Ansh ji why are getting ready too early? It's only 7:15." "Some urgent work," Ansh replied while getting ready. "Then I should go prepare your breakfast." Avni was just getting down from the bed when Ansh stopped her. "No need. I will have it at the office," Ansh replied in a cold voice. Avni realized he is still angry for yesterday's thing. "Ansh ji..." "Not in a mood to talk," Ansh said and went out of the room with his laptop bag. Avni could feel her eyes getting filled with tears but controlled them from rolling down her cheeks. Avni got down from the bed and went to the bathroom to do her morning routine.

Avni went down and began preparing breakfast. While she was preparing the breakfast, only one thing was going on in her mind- How to tell sorry to Ansh. She had got so immersed in her thoughts that she didn't realize that the breakfast was burning. Suddenly when she felt someone shaking her arms while calling her name, she got startled. When she came out of the trance, she saw her mother-in-law looking at her with a worried expression.

"Avni are you alright? Where were you lost? I was continuously calling you from that time." "Am... I..am okay Mom." "Are you sure?" "Yes mom, I am fine. I was cooo..." Avni stopped in-between when she saw that there was no food cooking on the stove. Only the utensil was there. "Mom where did the food go?" "I had to throw it. It was burnt." "I am sorry Mom. I was just thinking something and got lost in my thoughts." "It's okay Avni, no need to apologize." "But what will I do now? Everyone will soon come down for breakfast and nothing is prepared." "Don't worry, we will just make sandwiches. It is easy." "Okay, mom." Both got busy with making sandwiches. They quickly made sandwiches and by the time others came down, the food was ready.

Avni served everyone their breakfast and then went to sit down in her place. While she was sitting down, she looked at the empty seat beside her and sighed. She knew Ansh skipped his breakfast because he was angry at her. Every time the last night conversation came into her mind, tears filled her eyes. She looked down and continuously blinked her eyes to avoid tears from rolling down. She was trying to control her tears when she heard grandma calling her name. "Avni." She cleared her throat and then replied. "Ye..yes grandma." "Where is Ansh?" "Grandma he had some work, so he went to the office early." "Did he had his breakfast?" "No grandma. He said he will have it at the office." "Huh... It's weird. He rarely skips his meal." Avni couldn't reply anything and just looked down. Others didn't pay much anything and just focused on their breakfast. But Avni could hardly eat anything.

********

After having their breakfast, Ganga and Arjun went to their rooms. Pratima, Sakshi, and Avni stayed back to clean the dishes and prepare for the lunch. While Avni was picking up the dishes, Sakshi and Pratima were continuously watching her. They knew something was off. They had noticed tears in Avni's eyes during the breakfast. They had also noticed that Avni didn't eat her breakfast and was just playing with it.

Avni was once again so lost in her thoughts while picking up the dishes, she didn't notice that two people were marking her each movement.

Finally getting tired, Sakshi got up from her seat, went to Avni and took the dishes from her. Then she made her sit down on a chair. "Sakshi what are you doing?" let me do my work." "No. You are allowed to anything until you tell us what's wrong." "Nothing is wrong." "Avni don't lie. I could see the tears in your eyes that you are trying hard to hold back." On hearing Sakshi's words, Avni let the tears flow. She wasn't able to hold back the tears.

"Avni, child, please stop crying and tell us your problem. Are you and Ansh fighting?" "Maa. I have hurt him. He is hurt because of me. He is angry." "Avni. Whom did you hurt? Who is angry? What are you saying?" "Ansh ji. I hurt Ansh ji and he is angry with me." Avni then told them everything that had happened yesterday.

"Avni, Ansh is sensitive when it comes to relations. If he loves someone and they hurt him even a bit he gets upset. He hates it when someone hurt him. But that doesn't mean he will remain angry for long. Give him some time to collect his thoughts and then he will come around. But if you really want to say sorry do something special for him he loves it," Pratima said to Avni. "Mom is right Avni, do something special for bhaiya and he loves it." Sakshi tried to cheer Avni up. "I will do that. I will plan something. I am going to solve this problem today only." Avni started planing something in her mind

**********

It was around 10:30 p.m when Ansh reached home. The whole house was quiet. Everyone had gone back to their rooms. He knew no one would be waiting for him as he had already informed Sakshi that he would be late and will have his dinner outside. Though he expected that no one waiting for him but deep down he had hoped to see Avni sitting in the drawing room, waiting for him. But then he realized he is stupid to hope that as he had made sure Avni knows he is angry with her. That's the reason, he informed Sakshi about him being late and not Avni. Ansh shook his head to remove these thoughts and went towards his room.

Ansh entered his room to find it dark. He went further inside and found the bed empty. He found it weird. He had expected to find Avni sleeping but she was nowhere to be seen. He kept his laptop bag on the sofa and went to check the bathroom, but found it empty. Suddenly his attention went towards the balcony door which was open. He thought Avni must be there and went to the balcony. When he entered the balcony, he was shocked to see the scene in front of him.

The balcony was beautifully decorated with candles and rose petals. The rose petals were arranged in a heart shape and were surrounded by the candles. Below the heart was written 'SORRY' with small candles. Ansh looked around and found Avni standing at the edge of the balcony with balloons in her hands on which Sorry was written. Seeing sorry written everywhere, Ansh realized Avni must have planned this just to say sorry to him. His emotions were overwhelming and he walked towards Avni.

**********

Ansh went towards Avni and hugged her. He had never thought his wife would plan such surprise just to say sorry. He hugged her and buried his face in her neck. "I am sorry Ansh ji. I am sorry that I hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you. It was not my intention. But I couldn't stop these thoughts. It's not that I don't trust you. I trust you the most. I didn't tell you my fear because I knew they are just my insecurities and I have to get rid of them. I was just afraid what if someday you leave me. I know it's never going to happen. But those entered my mind I got scared. I love you Ansh ji. I love you so much that the thought of you leaving me scares me." By the time Avni finished speaking, she was in tears.

When Ansh heard Avni saying 'I love you' he felt he was in seventh heaven. He broke the hug and wiped her tears. He then made her look in straight in his eyes. "Please say it once again." "I am sorry." "Not that. Those three words you said." "I am sorry." "Not this." "Then? These are the three words that I said." Avni replied innocently. "Your innocence is going to be the death of me. But these are not the three words I wanted to hear. Say 'I love you' once again." "Ohh," Avni bushed when he said those three words. "I Love you." She said and looked down to hide her blushing face. Ansh once again made her look at him. "Don't hide your blushing face. I love it when you blush. I love you Avni. I love you so much." Ansh said and pulled her for a passionate kiss. But pour all their emotions into it.

Ansh broke the kiss and lifted Avni in Bridal style. Without breaking eye contact, Ansh carried her into the room and laid her on the bed. That night two souls intertwined together and become one in all senses.
