Neil: what r u doing ? He asked frowning

Avni: we r spending time together na...by been on our phone she said sarcastically looking at neil while showing her phone

Neil smirked and leaned on his elbows

neil: I must admit been with me you are learning to give such replies princess not bad...and if u r getting so eager to spend some time then let's spend some time he said pulling her closer to him making their lips touch slightly due to the pull

Avni closed her eyes for a sec while neil looked at her teasingly

Avni: y do u always think of one thing

Neil: who said I was thinking about that? Ohhh wait so u want to spend time in that way well I dont mind then as I had something else stored in my mind he said nuzziling her Cheeks with his nose

Avni sat up straight as she felt ticklish too that gesture

avni: not at all yuvraj neil khanna...and if u have thought of something else then y dont u tell me

Neil: this he said showing his phone as he unlocked it

Avni: movies she said happily as she saw Netflix page on Neil's phone

Neil: ahaan

Avni: so put on a movie what's taking u so long then

Neil: so much excitement for a movie or because u will be watching it with me

Avni:u know u need to stop your selfpraisning plus my excitement is for the movie only

Neil: ouch my poor heart he said

avni:yes your poor heart now chalo put on a movie

Neil: you are an ajooba princess

Avni: think whatever u want to she said getting comfortable on the bed

Neil loaded a movie by connecting it on to the tv and dimmed the lights...he then moved closer to avni and pulled her closer to him with his one  hand around her while avni comfortably leaned her back against his chest and rested her right elbow on to his thigh as they enjoyed the night like this in each others arm with no tension and only love

As the movie ended neil turned of the TV

Neil: it was a good movie na princess he asked

Avni: haan for the first time I enjoyed it warna if the others were here they would have put up a horror movie she said chuckling as she sat up properly and loosened her hair

Neil: you think I'll allow others to be here in the same room as us

Avni looked at neil and rolled her eyes

Avni: of course not but if we all had decided to spend time then I'm sure all would have chosen horror movie like last time

Neil: well you have me...and you watching horror movie would be an advantage for me

Avni:and how is that ? she asked him

Neil: because everytime you would get scared then you will move closer to me he said with a smirk as he leaned closer to her

Avni: shut up she said pushing him away

Neil: a fact cant be denied princess

Avni: whatever now sleep she said and got up

Neil: where are you going?

Avni: to another room she said

Neil: and why is that ? He said raising his eyebrows

Avni: neil... woh

Neil: dont you trust me ? He said getting up and walked to her

Avni: what ?

Neil:answer me he said with arms crossed

Avni: of course I do neil and even you know that right

Neil: then cant we sleep in one room?

Avni: would that be ok? She asked with a hint of nervousness ...neil saw the hesitation on her face and took a step closer as he cupped her cheeks

Neil: princess I know we are not married and you must be thinking it might not be right to spend a night in one room...princess there are many couples who are not married and sleep together in one room and it doesnt mean that there always has to be physical interaction... I would never cross my line with you until you are not comfortable not even after marriage until you say so... if you remember we had spent a night in your room while playing truth and dare...its going to be the same this time too

Avni processed what Neil said

Avni: I guess you are right we are not doing anything wrong right

Neil smiled as he moved his hands away

Neil: absolutely come let's sleep he said

Avni nodded as she got on her side of the bed she saw neil grab a pillow

Avni:, what are you doing Neil

Neil : going to the couch to sleep he said looking at her

Avni smirked a little and got up walking towards neil

Avni: dont you trust me ?

Neil: you know I do

Avni: then y sleep on the couch?...we are not married yet but we surely can share a bed as it has enough space for both of us and besides we are not doing anything wrong...during truth and dare time you slept on the couch but at that time I just never knew what I felt for you exactly but now we both now what we feel for each other and things are different now so I'm sure sharing a bed is not doing something wrong

Neil: I must say by staying with me you are becoming intelligent

Avni: yuvraj sa enough of self praising now can we sleep please

Neil: sure yuvrani sa

Both smiled at each other and got on the either side of the bed as they pulled the duvet over them with some gap in the middle

Avni: good night neil

Neil: good night avni he said as he turned off the lights  and both closed their eyes to sleep with  beautiful smile on their face

In the morning neil opened his eyes slowly and woke up... as he looked around he notices that he was not in his room when he remembered where he was and with who...as he turned his face to the side he saw avni all snuggled up next to him as her forehead was lightly resting on the end of his shoulder with a peaceful look on her face

Neil turned fully sideways and moved his face closer to hers...he looked at her for few seconds and moved the hair that was covering her face a little ...neil then  slowly blew on her face but avni was still sleeping peacefully so neil tried again as he continued until avni started to stir in her sleep and laid on her back

Avni: mumma let me sleep please she said in a sleeping tone and forgetting that she is not at the metha palace

Neil chuckled ...he then moved a little closer to her and rubbed his nose on her sensitive spot  while his hand went under her top drawing small  circles around her belly button and that did it ...avni eyes shot open and she sat up straight making neil look at her...as avni saw neil  she took a sigh of relief

Avni: neil thank god it was you I thought  somebody else...but before she could continue neil pulled her closer with his hand around her arm...avni face was close to neil while he was still laying

Neil: thinking about it is too far I wouldn't even let anyone come close to you.

Avni smiled slowly but she also felt like teasing Neil a little bit

Avni:ab how can we control neil...we never know who can come between us right she said
with a straight face and was about to move away but neil pulled her back

Neil: even if someone does come I well remove them

Avni: even our family and friends ?

Neil: haan he said not realizing what she said

Avni: yuvraj neil khanna how can you be so mean now you even have a problem with our friends and family

Neil: y would I have a problem with....neil stopped speaking as he finally realised what avni said before and now

Seen the look on neils face avni knew that neil finally understood and burst out laughing

Neil: princessss he said and started to tickle her  making avni fall flat on the bed next to him while avni grabbed a pillow and started to hit him now and then but gave up due to neil tickling her

Avn:ok sorry babba she said while laughing

Neil: much better he said and laid next to her

Both trying to catch up with their breath as they laid on their back

Neil turned to look at avni and feeling his gaze she turned to look at him...both having a smile on their face.

Neil: shall I tell you something

Avni: what

Neil: I'll be the most luckiest man

Avni: and y is that she said turning side ways to face him

Neil also turned sideways facing avni and adjusted his face closer to hers on the pillow

Avni closed her eyes for a sec as Neil's fingers moved to her cheeks and then to her hair as he tucked it behind her ears

Neil: because once we get married every morning I'll always find you close to me in my arms he said in a low voice

Avni looked at neil and smiled but more than her smile her blush was more visible as her cheeks turned red...she looked down for a sec and then at neil and got up

Avni: I'm going to freshen up she said and ran to the washroom while neil smirked

Aftet avni came out she told neil to freshen up while she will go and make breakfast ...as she was about to leave the room neil stopped her and pulled her in his arms

Neil: you know it actually feels like we are married as you are literally behaving like a wife who is going to see what to make for breakfast so that her husband doesnt stay Hungary   he said as he started to rub his nose on her cheeks...

avni giggled for a sec and stopped him from rubbing the tip of his nose on her cheeks

avni: ab if you are getting that feeling then enjoy it as a small trailer na yuvraj sa.

Neil: how about small trailer of everything he said playfully

Avni:neilllll go she said pushing him away and laughed shaking her head as she left the room

Avni headed to the kitchen and wondered what to make as she saw only eggs and bread..she was thinking of making an omelette with bread and some coffee when suddenly she heard the door bell ring

Avni: who can be here at this time? She said to herself

She walked out of The kitchen and headed to the main door and peeked through the door peephole and widened her eyes..in few secs she opened the door and said

Avni: you all over here ? She asked seen the gang

Vijay: hey avni  he said and moved to hug her

Riya: move its might turn she said about to move Vijay away

Avni: one minture one minute what are you all doing here and you all are standing in a line to meet me as if we all are meeting after so long

Vidyut: aww you didnt want us to come and disturb yours and Neil's quality time he said

Avni: its nothing like that I'm just surprised as I didnt know you all will be coming here she said

Juhi; haan we thought we gave enough time to you love birds and thought we might as well now come and spend time and have breakfast

Riya:looks like jiji is not happy seen us

Vijay: haan.... avni made us strangers in one night sad very sad he said dramatically

Avni:ohhh please stop it you know its nothing like that she said rolling her eyes

Ali: acha then tell us are you happy seen us ?

Avni:I'm happy literally happy I was missing you all so much that out of excitement I asked too many questions... happy she said

All looked at each other and chuckled

Riya: chill we were only pulling your leg

Vijya: exactly now come on where is neil banna call him so we all can have breakfast together

Avni: but breakfast is not ready

Juhi: breakfast is ready we all bought it she said

Avni: where ?

Vijay clapped his hands and few staffs started to come in with the breakfast that was packed in containers and all

Avni: impressed....by the way where is aman?
she asked smiling

Riya: college.

Neil:you all here he said as he walked down the stairs

Vidyut: haan I thought I should evict you both now as you have spent enough time here he said smiling and gave a friendly hug to neil who then moved to vijay, ali and the moved to riya and lastly juhi

They all then moved and sat down at the dining table to have breakfast

Vijay: ok so let me remind you all since mama sa and Mami sa wedding anniversary is coming up we have planned a party for them tomorrow so make sure to arrive he said

Vidyut: of course.. is that even to say

Riya: oh and one more thing we will be actually performing just a sweet gesture for mom and dad so please do take part... it's just like a small ball dance that we will be doing with simple steps so we will have a choreographer coming here after

Vijya: haan and avni you have to take part otherwise I will have to dress up as a girl and dance with neil banna he said making everyone chuckle

Avni: dont worry vijay bhai that wont be needed as I can do anything for maa and paa she said smiling

Juhi: I still need to get something for them but will do it after our dance practice she said

Vidyut: dw we can go after and get something

Ali:I'll join too he said

All continued to talk and after having breakfast a female choreographer  came with her partner and they were teaching everyone how to perform while vijay was watching on the side since he had no partner but he was not upset as he literally enjoyed watching his friends and siblings practice.

Once it was done all decided to leave to plan whatever they wanted to do.

Avni went into the kitchen to get some water before leaving when she  turned to find neil

Avni: Neilll she said shaking her head and drank some water

Neil: princess

Avni:hmmm

Neil: now we wont be seen each other till tomorrow evening

Avni: I know neil she said caually

Neil: so how about a....he said letting his sentence incomplete while his hand moved on to her wasit

Avni looked at neil and saw how his eyes was moving to her lips and then back at her eyes

Avni: neilll everyone is still outside

Neil:soo? Its not like anyone will come...besides your dose gives me energy he said moving close to her as he spoke in a low voice

Avni: you are so shameless she said with a playful smile

But instead of replying neil moved more closer to her as his hand moved behind her back and pulled her closer

Avni: neil someone will come move

Neil: nobody will he said but as soon as he said that he heard riya voice making avni push him away

Riya:jiji shall we go she said entering then kitchen when she saw neil In the kitchen too

Avni:haan let's go

Riya: bye neil jiju

Neil:bye he said turning to her and smiled cursing his luck

Avni suppressed her laugh while riya left

Avni: bye she said

Neil: byee he said taking a sip of her water as avni took a step to walk away

Avni:neil

Neil:hmmm he said turning to face her

Avni took a step closer to neil and placed both her hands on his shoulders and gave him a small peck on his lips as her lips stayed on his for some time...Neil's one hand moved around her waist with a loose grip...both had their eyes closed

Avni moved away after some time  and both opened their eyes

Avni: I hope this much dose is enough as it has some of my love in it too she said  with a smile and walked out of the kitchen    while neil smiled as he pushed his hair back

Neil:princesssss you will drive me crazy he said with a small smile

Later at night after having dinner avni,Riya, aman and  vijay were discussing about the party that will be held the next night

Vijay: ok so has two cake been ordered?

Riya: yup I called them in the evening to confirm and they told us that it will reach on the given date and time

Vijay: what about decorators?

Aman: I called the decorators and they would come in the afternoon and get the hall decorated as we had decided

Vijay: thank god I thought they will make a huge fuss due to less time he said looking st his sisters and brother

Riya: well that's y we have an advantage of been royals sometimes

Avni:haan but here they agreed without any pressure

Vijay: because they knew who we are

Avni: ok fine so the point is they are coming tomorrow

Vijay: great then tomorrow party is all set he said ticking the last bit on the list and gave a high five to avni and Riya

The next morning avni woke up and went to freshen up and then head to wish ashish and neela 

As she was heading down...riya catched up with her and headed to where the rest were

Riya: happy anniversary she said and moved to hug ashish

Ashish: thank you beautiful  he said hugging her and gave a kiss on her head

Avni: happy anniversary maa she said moving to hug neela

Neela: thank you bacha

Neela: thank youuuuuuuu she said pulling his cheeks while ashish gave him a pat on the shoulder

Dayawanti: chalo chalo have breakfast you all...so that you all can finsh all your work quickly and are not late for the party which is held in our own palace itself

Vijay:imagine we r the one who organised the party and we are late ourself...no no no that can never happen...he said and got up

Diksha:vijay where are you going she asked seen him stand up

Vijay: nowhere mom just want to make some announcement he said

Riya: perfect we have enough time...right avni?

Avni: right

Dayawanti: time for what?

Neela: what do you mean?

Avni: what riya means is pedicure, manicure, haircut, facial and so on she said

Neela: what no  all of that is not needed

Riya: that we are deciding you are just coming with us

Ashish: haan neela go and enjoy naa you will love it he said teasingly and laughed due to the way neela glared

Aman: dad dont tease mom otherwise she will make a cucumber out of you

Neela: amannnn

Ashish: by the way where is our gifts he asked everyone while Aman mouthed  him a thank you

Vijay:that you will get later by all of us...we decided to give gifts later on and before you ask why then that is because we want you to open all the gifts together at night

Neela: how sweet

Diksha: exactly...now come on let's start otherwise we will continue talking and be late to start our work

After breakfast neela, avni, riya went out while diksha denied as she had some work

As they entered the salon the staff recognised the royals and also their manager had told them time the royals would be coming

Riya personally instructed the staff on what to do with neela and they got started with their work

Riya: babes shall we also get some manicure and pedicure done

Avni thought for a sec and then agreed...when all 3 were sitting together getting their manicure and pedicure done riya room a selfie of them together or sometime would tell the staff

Like that the time went and 3 of them headed home

At 6pm everyone was getting ready at the metha palace while riya had given ashish and neela their outfits to get ready in.

As neela came out in the saree riya had designed ashish was awestruck seen her  as he was sorting his bow out and went still for a sec

Neela: ashish this saree looks amazing right  she asked as she adjusted her pallu and looked up to see her husband just starting at her

Ashish: you look beautiful he said after few seconds

Neela smiled looking down and then looked at ashish

Neela: thank you

Ashish: I'm falling in love with you even more

Neela: well ...I guess that is a good thing she said moving to him as she corrected his bow

Ashish: not I guess...it actually is.

Neela: I seee well even you are looking quite young in this suit she said

Ashish: tell me something I dont know he said raising his collar 

Neela shook her head while ashish chuckled and soon she joined as she rested her head against his chest and he wrapped his hands around her

Ashish: dont you want your gift

Neela:you and this family are my biggest gift what else do I want ashish

Ashish: still.

Neela: well first take your gift she said and went to the wardrobe and got out box that was wrapped up

Ashish opened it up and found the latest watch as he actually had this huge collection of branded watches that he loved getting

Neela: how is it ?

Ashish:amazing...I was thinking of getting this one and you actually got it for me

Neela: see how lovely I am

Ashish: that you are now time for your gift he said and went to his side of the wardrobe and took out a wrapped up gift

As neela unwrapped it she saw a beautiful golden chain locket with real diamonds on the heart shape

Neela: its beautiful ashish

Ashish: when I saw this I was able to imagine you wear it and knew this was the gift

Neela: so make me wear it then

Ashish smiled and helped neela and soon they both decided to finsh of getting ready

Meanwhile avni came down in a beautiful yet simple outfit that riya had designed according to avni's taste (you can imagine any ) she was wearing only earrings and a bracelet around her wrist with her hair left down in loose curls from the bottom

As she was heading towards aman room she saw diksha and dayawanti welcoming the khanna family while vidyut was still on the way with his family along with ali and akash too

Avni went towards them while noticing the way neil was looking at her with a small smirk on his lips while his eyes moved up and down checking her out making her cheeks heat up and then lingered on to her face even when she looked away...she took blessings of shweta , bebe and prakash and hugged juhi and gave a side hug to dd too.

Juhi: avni wont you give bhai a hug too she said teasingly while tha elders smiled making sure not to laugh

Avni: umm I actually need to go and check on aman I'll be back she said and left

Juhi:poor bhai she said...

Neil: quiet choti he said

Dayawanti: please come in she said and they all entered and after some time ashish and neela also came down

When avni was coming out of aman room after helping she got pulled behind a pillar

Avni: neilll are you mad

Neil: you give everyone a hug but leave me out

Avni: ab i only hugged juhi and dd and left the elders out along with you

Neil:haan because they are elders but not me

Avni looked at neil and controlled her laugh

Avni: come on neil you cant deny the fact that you are few years older than me right she said teasingly

Neil: older?

Avni: haan older does count as been old na

Neil: acha he said and moved closer to her as his hands slide around her waist knowing very well she is teasing him

Avni: neil what are you doin...but suddenly she gasped as she felt Neil's lips on her bare shoulder... her hands moved on to his arm and clutched the fabric around his arms as his lips moved on to the crook of her neck

Avni: neil stop she said in a low voice

Neil:I told you before and I will tell you now you will always get sweet tortures like this for teasing me he said as he rubbed his lips on the exposed skin between her shoulder and neck

Avni took a deep breath and pushed neil away taking few steps

Avni: and even I'm avni metha...yuvraj  sa she said with a playful smile and left from there...neil leaned against the pillar as he felt at peace seen her as it felt like he hasnt seen her for a long time

Later on

neela and Ashish were inviting the guests as they congratulated ashish and neela giving them the gifts speaking for a bit and the moved away

Prakash and shweta walked over to neela and ashish and started to speak ...when suddenly they saw someone walk in after minutes making the metha, khanna family go still

The person walked towards them with a smile.... a smile which wasnt pleasant at all

Person: I must say I still have that charm to grab everyone's attention the person spoke after few mins

Neela was about to move forward but ashish held her hand

Ashish:not now neela ...everyone is here he said

Shweta: ashish bhaisab is right neela...there are guests and also our kids will question dont say anything now she said.

Neela looked at shweta and then at all the guests who were talking and at the kids who were in their own circle.

Avni and riya came towards neela and ashish after few seconds

Avni: maaa, paaa cake is ready Vijay bhai will make an accoucmemt in few mins just in case if any other guest turns up

Neela forced a smile and nodded

Riya: when vijay bhai announces you both come on the stage and haan you both will have to dance ok she said making ashish and neela nod their head with half smile on their face

Avni: chal riya she said and grabbed her hands when the person stopped her

Person: hey girls...you both are very pretty
