Avni!, Neil exclaimed out of shock seeing her all of a sudden.

Avni immediately recognised whose voice it was as she didn't even need to turn around and see who it was ,she knew that it was her Neil.Only he could call her link that.

She turned around to face him ,only to be surprised and shocked seeing his changed look.His eyes looked dark as if he wasn't sleeping well all these years,he became more slim than his usual fit figure and his beard had grown a little more.His faced looked tired and he was never that happy man whom Avni used to admire.She felt a guilty feeling in her mind for making him suffer so much.Even though she had left him to make his life secure ,she just couldn't stop the tears from flowing, thinking of how much pain he had gone through when he  was forced to believe that she was dead ,when she was actually not.

She turned her face away from him,not able to look at him anymore.

Neil had never expected to see Avni her.Though he could never accept that she was dead, he had never thought that he could finally see his Avni after 10 long years.His mom,dad and even bebe tried to convince him that Avni was gone but he would never agree with them.For him she was all alive and she could never leave him just like that.But seeing her her all of a sudden brought goosebumps and he had a mixture of happiness,shock and surprise flooding through his mind.

He looked at her to understand how she had changed during this time.She wore a specs now.There was no mangalsutra to adorn her neck nor sindhoor that covered her hair partition.Her face looked dull and he could not see that beautiful smile of his wifey that always used to adorn her face while she was with him.

Neil couldn't control himself anymore.He ran towards where Avni was standing once again looking at her.

Meanwhile, the child gang was all shocked.As far as they knew she was their Jaan didi and didn't know anyone other than them,Sunehri and Tara,Sitara.They never knew that  a man had place in their Jaan didi's life,nor did they knew that her name was Avni not Neilanjana.The little gang got onto thinking who this Avni was.

Jaan didi, Mowgli came running to Avni calling her name and standing near her holding her hand.

Avni looked at Mowgli who was looking at her intently.

Jaan didi, do u know who is this ,this is the same person who bought us all food that day said Mowgli with a happy smile on his face.

Avni was surprised to hear that.Not even in the slightest of her expectations she has thought it to be Neil.She looked at Neil ,who nodded his head as an answer.

Jaan didi ,who is Avni asked Mowgli to Avni ,rather confused.

Avni didn't know what answer should she give him.She didn't know how she would convince Mowgli and the other children regarding her identity and about Neil.

Neil (in mind):So Avni was Jaan didi, but why did she change her name.

All this while Neil and Avni didn't utter even a single word and Sunehri was looking at both of them thinking how they would react.

Avni ,mujhe tumse kuch puchna hai Neil finally managed to say.

Neil, but..Avni said without even looking at his eyes.

Neil immediately held her hand and pulled her to him.

Neil ,chodo said Avni while trying to remove her hand from his clutches but she couldn't because of his strong grip on her.

Where are u taking my Jaan didi and who is this Avni Mowgli asked looking at Neil and holding his hand.

Soon the other children came near them and asked Neil Who  are u and what relation do u share with our Jaan didi, how do u know her?.

Avni felt her throat dried all of a sudden.Not even a single word came from her mouth.How could she say Neil was her husband?How could she say that she had come here only to protect him?.She was really confused and didn't know how to convince the children.

Ask your Jaan didi who I'm to her ,she will tell said Neil in a strong and determined voice troubling Avni more.

Jaan didi batao na,yeh kaun hai said Saesha.

Immediately Sunehri interrupted the conversation and said Baccha don't u know who he is ,he is the same RJ that Saesha was talking about in the restaurant.

Now it was the chance for the children to get surprised especially Saesha.

Saesha came near Neil and asked Are u the RJ who was telling about his own love story of how u fell in love with a girl whom you thought to be a thief and u were dedicating songs for her ,Saesha asked in much excitement.

Haa Neil said looking at Saesha.

Oh God,I'm a big fan of yours Saesha exclaimed jumping in excitement.

Then looking at Avni she said Di ,didn't I tell about an RJ, that is him,Saesha said not able to control her excitement.

Avni looked at Neil with tears in her eyes seeing his immense love for her.

So Mr.RJ aapka naam kya hai asked Saesha.

Neil .

Wow,nice name..

So children, can I please speak to your Jaan didi for sometime asked Neil looking at all the children.

Yeah offcourse said Saesha happily.

But y do u want to speak to her asked Mowgli who still couldn't get why Neil wanted to speak to his Jaan didi.

Neil didn't have an answer for tht.But before he could say anything Saesha said Mowgli come let us play something .

She grabbed his hand pulling him.Before Mowgli could say anything Saesha pulled him out of the house along with her while all the other others followed her including Tara ,Sitara and now only Sunehri and Avneil were present inside.

You guys take your time ,I'll be waiting outside Sunehri said and left the room in the next instance.

Now Neil and Avni were left alone and silence prevailed in the room for some time with either of them willing to break the silence and start the conversation.

What is all this,Neil finally asked not being able to tolerate her silence.

Avni still didn't say anything.

This made him angry.He shook her by her shoulders and shouted at her
I asked you something, answer it

I don't know she said without looking  at him.

You don't know, why ,didn't u know what u were doing when u left me creating a fake death certificate that Avni Ayesha was dead,didn't u know what u were doing when u escaped from Vidyut's home and kept a fake accident drama there, didn't u know what u were doing when u left me and my family forever taking Mishti along with u,answer me ,damn it Neil roared finally venting out all his frustration.

I know one thing that I did all this to save you and your family said anvil finally not being able to tolerate it anymore.

What the hell?You think that u really saved me by making a fool,if u thought so then you are wrong Avni.Instead of saving u made my life even more worse.How could you be so selfish Avni?U don't even have the slightest idea regarding how I spent these 10 years thinking of you and living in your memories each second.I smiled only for my family who didn't want me to be sad.All these years I couldn't sleep or even cry properly.U made an impression that u were dead and then u left.You just don't know how much it affected me,you just don't know he said in a broken voice.

Avni felt an immediate urge to hug him and be in the embrace of his arms but she controlled herself.

Do u think it was an easy decision for me,I never wanted to leave u Neil, I just wanted to be with you all the time but I simply couldn't.Im the only reason because of which your life became so much troubled.Meri wajah se Vidyut ne tumse marne ki koshish ki thi,only because of me my neela maa died,I was the sole reason for all the problems in your life Neil.I just wanted to sort it out and I would go any extent for tht.I will do whatever I can to save you and our family.I just can't let go off you Neil.Meri wajah se mujhe meri family kho diya, so I don't want to lose my family once again.I can't even think of something happening to u Neil,I can't because I love u so much.Every moment away from you was no less then hell for me.You don't how much I wished to hear your voice, to see you for once, to touch you ,to sleep in your embrace, to fight with u ,to be cuddled by you,I craved for you each and every second.But the next thought that would come to my mind was Vidyut, so I just couldn't come to u ,I was helpless Neil, I was in a pathetic situation Avni completed her sentence with her eyes flooded with tears.

It pained Neil to hear how much difficult it was for Avni to take such a decision but that does not give her the right to leave him and go.

But Avni u were the one who promised that u will never ever leave me aur tumne kya kiya said Neil.

Avni just gazed at Neil with pain in her eyes.

Neil just went closer to her and hugged he tightly clenching onto her as if he would  never ever leave her.Avni also clutched onto him tightly caressing his hair.After staying in the position for sometime Neil left her.As he was about to leave Avni held his wrist tightly and asked Are u leaving me and going .

U left me and went Avni, not me.

Avni left his hand.

Avni I'm not leaving u ,but I have to talk to the children ,so I'm going to call them inside.

What are u going to tell them Neil.

I am going to tell them who are u to me.

Par Neil, aise.

Nothing will happen Avni.

Neil went outside and called everyone inside as he had to talk something very important to them.By the time all of them were inside, Avni became tensed regarding what Neil was going to tell them.

Jaan didi,aap ro kyun rahi hai asked Mowgli, concerned.

Nahi Mowgli Avni  said.

Did he make you cry Mowgli again asked.

He will never make me cry Avni said with a smile on her face.

Aap kaun hai Mowgli finally asked Neil.

Main Neil hoon aur main tumhari Jaan didi ki pati ho, Neil said shocking the whole children gang.

Pati !! , they repeated the word as if they are hearing the word for the first time.

But Jaan didi never told us about u nor have u come here in these years said Saesha confused.

That is a long story,ask your Jaan didi itself, she will tell u said Neil.

And tomorrow we all are going to Mumbai Neil said,

Neil,but how will we all..

No ifs and buts Avni, it is my decision, earlier u took a decision to leave me to give me the so-called protection u wanted, but I don't want any such protection without u,even if my fate is to die with you by my side I will agree for that happily, but I can't live without you Avni and don't worry about them, we all will live in the Khanna mansion together.

As Neil completed his sentence all the children clapped hearing his love confession for their Jaan didi.

Thank you bhaiya, said Mowgli happily.

What did u just call me Neil asked Mowgli to clarify what he just heard.

Bhaiya Mowgli said.

Neil was happy to hear that.

The whole children screamed out Thank you Jaan didi for giving us a bhaiya
They hugged Avni in happiness and Neil stood there witnessing the happiness of the child gang.
