Back to the Khanna mansion ...avni was trying to read her book in her room while Neil was trying to work on a case file but their mind was miles away as their heart had somewhere taken control not letting them concentrate.

Avneil were in their own deliema not knowing what to do

Neil:there is something there that I can feel for u avni.. it makes me happy just by having your presence near me..

Avni: u have become a special part of my life Neil.. I never knew that I would be saying this after so many years.

Neil:wakeing up to finding u in the same room as me has become a beautiful thing to witness

Avni: laughing with u, sharing my problems, arguing with u makes me feel happy

Neil: this plan thing just went out of my mind

Avni:I was so ready into separating from u and execute our plan..but now I dont know y but  I dont feel like doing that 

Neil: but even if I dont want to break this marriage I cant force avni to stay in this marriage

Avni:neil has a past whose memories he has kept in his heart... I cant force him to stay in this marriage just because I feel happy been with him and his family.

Neil:I know avni was ready to end this marriage and this is what she wanted so I'll continue this plan for her he said with a heavy heart

Avni: no matter how beautiful my moments were with Neil.. he will always be my friend and a very special person... l I know how much Neil's  past means for him and if he is happy like that even I'm happy to execute the plan of breaking this marriage

Neil:doesn't matter if we r not staying together after.. we will always try and spend time like before

Avni: even after we separate we will stay the same and continue our friendship

Both smiled... somewhere remembering those good moments and then thinking about their future of not been together..

Both were in different room but at the same they their thoughts were similiar

Few hours  Neil came back in the room to find avni sleeping resting her head against the headboard and a book left open on her lap

He smiled slightly and walked over to her taking the book and kept it on the side.. he placed the pillow behind her back making sure not to disturb her when suddenly his phone rang... he quickly took it out of his pocket to see it saying neela ma and went out to answer it so that avni doesn't get disturbed

As he closed the bedroom door from outside he answered

Neil:hi neela ma

Neela:hey neil.. I hope I'm not disturbing u

Neil:of course not

Neela:great... actually I wanted a favour from u

Neil:haan tell me what can I do for u

Neela:by any how can u drop avni to the metha mansion tomorrow but to avni u will say parikh mansion

Neil:, I can neela Ma but y do u want me to tell her that I'll be taking her to the parikh mansion

Neela:actually ashish has decided to do something which can maybe make avni forgive him and  ashish wants to plan it at the metha mansion so that avni recalls all those good times

Neil: thars actually good neela ma but what has ashish uncle planned to do anyway

Neela told neil while he smiled

Neil:Dont worry I'll drop avni in the afternoon

Neela:thank u so much Neil

Neil:elders dont thank their kid..neela chuckled

Neela:see u tomorrow... she ended the call and looked at ayesha picture on the wall

Neil walked back in the room and sat next to avni... he watched her sleep and thought about his decision of starting the plan for her sake... but now he decided they will start it once things r better between avni and ashish.

Avni woke up as her neck was acing due to sleeping in that position... she slowly opened her eyes to again find Neil sitting next to her smiling 

Avni:Neil?

Nekl:I'm glad u r resting

Avni smiled..

Avni:didnt u go to the police station afterwards

Neil:nope.. worked from the study room...tomorrow we will be going to the parikh mansion

Avni:tomorrow?

Neil:haan neela ma had called she thought of having u over for a bit and spend time

Avni:ohhh

Neil:and also let's discuss about the plan . Somewhere he felt low by just mentioning it while the smile dropped from avni's face  (I'm so evil na))

Avni:plan yh.. we have to start it soon na.. she said not even want to think about it.

Neil:haan after we come back from neela ma house we will discuss how to execute it

Avni nodded while Neil also nodded looking down both silent

Avni:if only I was able to tell u how I dont want to execute this plan anymore she thought

Neil:I wish if I could tell u how i dont want u to leave this house and me he thought.

Both looked at each other and smiled.. thinking to live whatever moments they can together because after their separation they wont be spending time like this before

At night time Neil took avni down for dinner as she wanted to eat with the rest .

Avni:bebe, shweta ma I'll be going to meet maa tomorrow for a bit

Maddy:y all of a sudden

Bebe:a child doesn't need a reason to see their parents or family maddy

Kareena looked at her mum annoyingly

Shweta: avni beta u can go whenever u want we have no issues she said looking at maddy who looked away

Avni smiled slightly and nodded

After dinner bebe suggested neil to take avni for a walk ..both were out walking slowly.. avni had her hand around Neil arm while he placed his other hand on top of hers

They continued walking in silence.. they sat down on the bench watching how the stars were shining.

Avni:sometimes we dont know what life has in store for us right

Neil:right.. we make decisions for the future thinking that's what we want but when time comes we realise we didnt want that.

Avni:true..but  for others we have to make the correct decision so that nobody is hurt.

Neil: avni ?

Avni:hmm

Neil:after we separate...nothing will change between us right

Avni:nothing will Neil except one thing

Neil:kya ?

Avni:we wont be staying together... u will get your bed back she said trying to laugh.. Neil gave a small laugh

Neil:I'll miss on how we would argue as to who will sleep on the bed and couch... in fact I will miss everything

Avni:I'm glad I met u she said placing her hand on top of his ...

Neil:same here he said placing his hand on top of hers and both looked ahead.

next day avni got ready as Neil told her they will leave around 11am to meet neela

While at the metha mansion neela helped ashish with all the arrangements.

Diksha: I wish if we were able to see how avni would react seen all this

Dayawanti:uff diksha dont forget ashish has placed cameras over here so that we can sit in my room and watch it from the tv live

Diksha:live would have been if we could have watched it over here ...but no worries we can do this much

Ashish smiled

Finally the arrangements were all done they closed the curtains so that the hall was dark not allowing any lights to fall in otherwise avni would see all the arrangements as she walks in

Neil and avni were on the way.. her ankle was slightly better where she was limping only a little bit...avni after noticed that the route Neil took was not for parikh mansion but metha mansion 

Avni:neil u was saying we r going to parikh mansion na.. then y did u take the route to go to the metha mansion

Neil:woh bebe said dadi wanted to give us something so first we will go to the metha mansion then parikh mansion ... avni nodded.

As soon as they reached Neil gave a miss call to neela so that she knows they have reached 

Neela:they r here.

Ashish took a deep breath

Dayawanti: do it with all your heart. Dont lose hope...ashish nodded

All went in while ashish went up 

Meanwhile outside as avneil reached near the main door avni saw that the door was ajar

Avni:, strange the door is open

Neil:yh even I'm suprised

She slowly pushed the door and both walked in to see how there was complete darkness...Neil closed the door so that outside light doesn't fall in to reveal much

Avni:Neil u said dadi wanted to give something but it's so dark over here.. she said taking few steps but not getting any reply she turned around to see no sign of Neil

Neil had sneaked away into the room where others were as neela had messaged him to come in there.

Avni:where has Neil gone now.. what is happening here .Neil where did u go .... dadi? Dadi ?... chachi ? , bua ? R any of u here she shouted but no response

Avni:y r the curtains even closed ... I should go and open it... as she went and opened the curtains she turned around and was shocked

She looked around seen all the pictures of her childhood be it with ayesha and her together.. or a picture of her ayesha and ashish.. or her pic on it's own.. avni moved near one picture

Avni:these pics ? ... who took them out..

Suddenly avni heard someone singing the song..which was well known as it was sung by her mother but now a Male voice was singing it
(Scenes r between the lyrics in bold )

Aa leke chalun tujhko
Ek aise desh mein

( Avni turned around to see where the voice was coming from)
Aa leke chalun tujhko
Ek aise desh mein
(The whole family were watching it from the room)

Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein

(Rose petal fell from Above and onto avni )
Milti hain jahan khushiyan

(Avni turns around seen ashish walking down the stairs singing the lullaby ayesha would sing to her)
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Pariyon ke bhes mein..

Ho chand chahe aadha
Ho phir bhi roshni
(Ashish showed his and avni picture during old times)

Ummeed jo na chhute
Har baat hai bani
( ashish gets on his knees and lowered his face while holding his ears and avni looks at him with tears in her eyes while she clutched her saree Palu)

Raaton ke sur se nikle
Subah ki raagini
(Everyone in the room were watching with hope in their eyes... they saw avni turning away from ashish )

Lori tujhe sunaun
( as avni turned away from ashish to walk away he held her wrist stopping her...both had tears in their eyes)

Lori tujhe sunaun
Bachpan ki ek mai
(He came in front of her and took her near a picture of him ayesha and avni together)

Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Pariyon ke bhes mein..

Dena tu mann ki shakti
(Neela closed her eyes praying that all goes well)

Maalik mere mujhe
Meri katha vyatha
Hai sab pata tujhe
Main jab bhi dagmaagaun
Tu thaamna mujhe
(He guided her to another pic of him and avni where they had dressed up while she looked away)

Chhode hain swapn saare
Chhode hain swapn saare
(Ashish placed a fairytale book in her hand while she looked at it and then at him)

Teri dekh rekh mein
Chhode hain swapn saare
Teri dekh rekh mein
Milti hain jahan khushiya
(He then showed a picture of avni and ayesha where ayesha was hugging avni tightly)

Pariyon ke bhes mein
Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Pariyon ke bhes mein..

Aa leke chalun tujhko
( he held both of his hands folding it while the anger inside avni was at its point yet she was remembering all those old moments which was  mixing her emotions)

Ek aise desh mein
Aa leke chalun tujhko
Ek aise desh mein

Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
Milti hain jahan khushiyan
Pariyon ke bhes mein
(He lastly picked up a picture which ayesha had taken last during her 5th month of pregnancy while avni was sitting next to her )

Ashish:I'm sorry avni please forgive your papa.. u promised u will give him a chance na .

Avni:haan I promised.. I promised I'll give him a chance.. it's so easy for u na to forget everything and just say sorry..BUT WHAT ABOUT ME... aman somewhere got your love ...BUT U LEFT YOUR DAUGHTER WHEN SHE NEEDED U THE MOST ... what do u think by doing all this I will forget everything ...to give a chance u need to wait..

She turned to leave when ashish tried to stop her

Ashish:avni.. please beta for once

Avni:even if I want to I dont want to give u another chance...because if u can leave me all those years back  means u can leave me again in the future

All that were in the room came out

Neela :bacha... ashish is truly sorry

Avni turned to see neela. Neil and and the rest and realised it was all planned.

Avni: I cant stay here I'm sorry .. i..I need to go

Neil:avni listen to me he said moving towards her

Avni:no.. I dont want to listen to anyone.she said turning around but Neil turned her towards him

Neil:please listen to me he said cupping her cheeks

Avni looked at Neil with tears in her eyes.. she nodded not able to say no to him.

Dayawanti:Neil beta take avni to the room

Neil took her into the room and made her sit down

Neil:listen to me ok

Avni nodded he sat in front of her holding both her hands

Neil:I know that u have been through alot ...the person u loved blamed u for something that wasnt your mistake.. u always craved for his love.. but avni he is truly sorry.. and if someone is truly sorry then u should forgive them.. right now your emotions r high but ask your heart dont u want ashish uncle  love again.. dont u want someone to call papa.. avni when kids make mistakes parents forgive them and show them the right path ... and when parents do that then even we should give them a chance and forgive them right.. and u did promise to ashish uncle to give him a chance..  tell me honestly.. what he did down right now.. didnt it melt your heart ?

Avni looked at Neil.. she couldnt control her tears and nodded..Neil wiped her tears and pulled her in for a hug 

Neil: just let it all out avni.. go and tell him what hurted u the most and how much u still love him

Five mins later avneil came down all were sitting a little tensed .

As soon as they saw avneil they got up.. avni walked over to ashish and stood in front of him

Avni:now I'll talk and u will listen

Ashish:ok he said nodding.

Avni:u know when mama slipped and how u stopped me going near her it kind of hurt me.. but then u even ignored me at the hospital .. even after mama passed away I thought your anger will calm down and u will come and hug your superstar telling her it was not her fault..but what do u do u distance me from yourself and also from Aman... I waited thinking now my papa will come and speak to me but then he just disowned me.. I got a mother love in neela ma but I was craving for my papa.. despite having one I still lived without one.. but then there was my chachu.. who would try and make me happy be there for me making me feel special and treat me just like how he would treat riya ... he just became like my father. But your behaviour completely broke me.. all those things u said to me broke my heart and broke that avni who always dreamed... u still hated me all these years and recently got to know what exactly happened when that act was played and said sorry..did u think it was that easy..  did u ever try to contact me ? No ...did u ever try to find about how your daughter was doing? No .. at least u had time for aman... fathers share a special bond with their daughter... but my papa never understood what his daughter was going through.. I'm scared to have u in my life thinking what if u  leave me again.. despite been angry with u.. what u did today melted my heart but at the same time made me angry.... if u want me to forgive u then fine I will but promise me u wont accuse me again like this.. u wont leave me alone... u will always be by your superstar side..  I want my papa back who loved his superstar not who blamed her for her mother's death 

Ashish:avni... meri jaan.. he said cupping her cheeks which were wet due to the tears.. he kissed her on her forehead and hugged her while avni hugged him back slowly and closed her eyes.

Ashish:papa loves his superstar

Avni:superstar started to love her again again too 

Precrap: avni:thank u.. u always guide me by showing the right path

Neil:I'll always be here with u avni even if we r not together

Avni smiled sadly

Neil:time to start the plan.
