One week had past since they were back in Mumbai.
Though Avni had joined the business she officially wasn't a part of the company as Prakash wanted to make it grand.
But Aditya did not leave any time he could spend with Avni but had to limit meeting her due to various reasons. He mostly used to message her.
Though Avni was happy because of Aditya still she used to miss Neil but let it go. They use to talk sometimes.
_______________
It was at night, Avni was in her room sitting on the bed, she was staring at her phone screen, it was the contact list section.
Neil's name was on the screen and Avni smiled softly looking at it.
Avni: Even when i miss you, i can't call you
Avni smiled sadly but suddenly there was a knock at her door. She looked at the direction confused.
Then she kept her phone and went to open the door.
As she opened the door she got stunned, while the person smiled.
Avni: Aditya you
Aditya: Shhhh
Aditya kept his finger on her lips as he entered and closed the door. Avni was still stunned.
Avni: Aditya, what are you doing here
Aditya: Avni, i did not meet you properly from the day we returned. So i came
Aditya said with a bright smile while Avni was scared.
Avni: Aditya what if someone sees
Aditya: Mom and dad both were tired after returning from the wedding, they are sleeping
Avni: But aditya
Avni was still scared she tried to look outside but Aditya pulled her towards him.
He tucked her hair behind her ear. He smiled while she looked on.
He then rested his head on the crook of her neck. He held her shoulder tightly.
Aditya: Avni i wish we met earlier, then it would have not been necessary to hide and meet
Avni: Aditya
Aditya: Shhhh
Aditya stood that way closing his eyes while Avni smiled softly but she was very scared.
Avni: Aditya i think u should go
Aditya broke the hug and looked at her.
Avni: Aditya if someone sees you then
Aditya looked at her while she was still scared.
Avni: Aditya
Aditya: Ok. But not like this
Avni looked at him confused. While he smirked.
Aditya: Tell me i love you once, then i will leave
Avni looked at him while he sat on the bed and smiled.
Avni: Aditya
Aditya: Otherwise i am not leaving
Avni looked at him for sometime then smiled.
Avni: I love you
Aditya smiled hearing this and got up from bed.
Aditya: Say once more
Avni: Aditya
Aditya: Otherwise
Avni: I love you
Aditya smiles and finally leaves while Avni smiles.

Two days later Prakash and Aditya and Shewta were on the dinning table on their sits while Kamla served them.
Soon Avni came down and sat on her usual place.

It was time for them to leave while Prakash got in his car. Avni and Aditya went in Aditya's car.

Avni was very happy she sat on her chair.
Then there was a knock at the door, it was Dd.
Dd: Hello bhabhiji............... ma'am
Avni: U can call me bhabhiji
Dd smiled and gave her some files after explaining he left.
Avni looked at the files for sometime while then she took her phone and searched Neil's number. As Neil's number came on screen she only looked at the screen and sighed.
Avni: All this r so irony. They think we r happy in our relationship. While i don't know for how long i will be in this position. U love someone else and i..........
Avni stopped in between as she could not complete the sentence. She shuts her eyes and opens them.
Avni: Neil............. why this............ i know one day i will lost all this. That day when you will declare your love for riya............. i am fine............ but my only worry is what will i tell to maa............. how i will............. tell her............
Avni's chain of thoughts gets broken with a knock at the door. Avni looks up as Neela enters.

Avni nods yes while Neela cupped her face.
Neela: Baacha i am very happy for u. Today wherever aashish is, he is very happy. U r finally starting your life again avni
Neela gets emotional as Avni looks on.
Suddenly the door opened and as they turned it was Aditya who entered.
Aditya: Avni
But he stopped seeing Neela while she only looked on. But Avni panicked.
Avni: Aditya............... ji.............. maa
Neela: Aditya
Aditya: Aunty i came to see if everything is fine
Aditya said while Neela smiled as Avni looked on.
Aditya: I will leave now
Aditya said and left before taking a final glance at Avni.
