In the time of the morning, the sun was shining over the Khanna industry. Avni was sitting on her desk and waiting for Neil. She looked at the side from people comes. Avni saw the time on her watch and it was 10 am.

Avni: Neil sir is very punctual why he did not come till now. To whom I ask?

Avni thinks.

Avni: I hope, sir is fine.

She prays for Neil in her heart. She heard a girl.

Girl: Neil sir is not coming today. He went to meet an investor.

Avni opened her eyes and saw two girls are talking about Neil. Avni gets sad because it was her last day in the office. A man came to them.

Man: Miss Avni, Mr KK, Ajay sir is calling you.

Avni nods. They went to meet Ajay who briefs them and gives them the last lecture.

Ajay: As today is the last day of your internship so from now you will not come but you have to come tomorrow to show your monthly report to Neil sir and will get your certificate soon.

Avni: ok sir.

Ajay: all the best for your future.

Avni and KK smiled and said thank you. They went from there.

Avni and KK came out of the building and Avni stopped she turns to see the building. KK stopped when he did not find her with him.

KK: Avni, come.

Avni turns to him and nods. She again looked back and goes to KK. She again looked at the building.

KK: what happened?

Avni: I will miss the time which I spend here.

KK smiled by looking at the building.

KK: yaa.

Avni looked at him then again turns her face.

KK: anyways let's go.

Avni nods. She once again looked back then they go to KK's car because they came together.

The day went not so good. At the time of the night, Neela maa entered Avni's room but Avni was not in the room she looked around and closed the door. She knew where Avni would be so she went to the balcony. Avni turns to her.

Nm: hmm so talking to your Ayesha maa.

Avni smiled but Neela maa sensed she is upset.

Nm: come.

She takes Avni with her to the room and makes her sit on the bed.

Nm: Now tell me what happened?

Avni looked at her.

Nm: I am your mother, I know you very well. I know something is disturbing you.

Avni looked at her.

Avni in mind: Neela maa is like a friend to me I can share with her and only she can talk to papa about it.

Neela maa holds her hand in her hands.

Nm: Avni, you did not even have dinner properly what's the matter bacha? You will not tell to your Neela maa.

Avni: Neela maa, Neil sir is very upset.

Neela maa frowns.

Nm: why?

Avni: because of his dream project. Do you remember, papa was saying that day soon Neil sir will organise a grand party for his big project and will show his model.

Nm: that city model?

Avni nods.

Nm: so what now.

Avni: the investor refused to invest. How can someone do this? It is so unprofessional and unethical.

Neela maa nods.

Avni: can't we help him, mamma? Can't papa invest in his business?

Neela maa frowns.

Nm: Avniii, you know our company make automobiles, not buildings.

Avni: but there should be some solution.

Nm: I will talk to Ashish, he may find some investor. He has his links.

Avni gets happy. She hugged her mother and said thank you.

Neela maa was confused by her behaviour. She caressed Avni's hair.

Some days passed like this and Neil did not get any investors. Avni was also sad and her parents noticed her sadness. Ashish tried but no one was ready to invest as Neil is new in this field.

One night, a venue was decorated with fairy lights. Avni entered with her parents she looked here and there and goes behind her parents. Avni feels something and stopped, she closed her eyes and keeps the hand on his heart. Neil was standing at the right side of her at a good distance. Avni opened her eyes and looked around she saw Neil and was happy to see him. Neil was talking to the men. Neela maa stopped and looked for Avni she turned.

Nm: Avni.

Avni turned to her.

Nm: come.

Avni nods. She looked at Neil for once and goes to her mother.

Avni was talking to the girls. Someone tapped her shoulder she turned and saw KK. Avni smiled.

KK: hey gorgeous.

They hugged.

Avni: how are you?

KK: I am good how are you?

Avni: good.

Avni turned to the girls and excused her. They walked away and talked. Neil turns his face and faces Avni's back. Prakash was also looking at Avni he knows that Avni and KK are friends. He smiled to see her.

Prakash: I wish, I had a daughter like Avni.

Ashish comes to him and saw Prakash is looking at Avni.

Ashish: Hello, Mr Khanna.

Prakash turned to him and smiled. They hugged and asked about each other health. Prakash looked at Avni.

Prakash: Avni is really a good girl. She did her work with honesty, she is very hardworking and kind.

Ashish smiled by looking at Avni.

Prakash: I am very impressed by her.

Ashish: I am glad you like her work.

Prakash smiled.

Avni saw them she came to meet Prakash.

Avni: Hello sir.

Prakash: hello, how are you?

Avni: I am good, sir.

Prakash: we are in a private function. Call me uncle, not sir.

Avni smiled.

Avni: ok, uncle.

They smiled.

Prakash: come, let me make you meet my family.

Avni nods.

Prakash and Avni went to the Khanna family. Ashish took Neela maa there.

Prakash: Bebe, Shweta, she is Avni. I told you about her that day. Mr Mehta's daughter.

They nod.

Shweta: yaa, yaa.

Prakash: and Avni, she is my mother Harleen Khanna and this is my wife, Shweta Khanna.

Avni greets them and takes their blessings.

Prakash: and he is Ashish Mehta and she is his wife, Neela Mehta.

They greet each other.

Nm: I know them. I saw them many times at parties but did not get the chance to meet.

Shweta: Right, I also saw you.

Neela maa smiled. They talked, Avni turned to see Neil who was busy talking with men when she turned her face, Neil turned his face to her. He frowns to see Mehta and Khanna together then a smile appears on his face to see Avni with them. He looked at them for some time.

Man: Mr Khanna.

Neil turned to him.

Man: where are you lost?

Neil smiled, he pinched his eyes.

Neil: aa, nothing. You say what you were saying.

They talked.

Avni was going somewhere by setting her scarf and Neil was coming from the opposite side by looking here and there he was finding someone they collided. Avni rubbed her head and Neil opened his eyes and saw Avni. Neil makes a face. Avni opened her eyes and looked at Neil she was shocked to see Neil.

Neil: Have you ever walked by looking straight ahead?

Avni looked down.

Avni: so, sorry Sir.

Neil: wh, what did you say? I did not hear you.

Avni looked at him. Neil smiled.

Neil: relax, I am just kidding.

Avni smiled.

Neil: so what are you doing now?

Avni: nothing but soon I will join our family business.

Neil: that's great.

Avni smiled. They don't understand what to say and were feeling awkward.

Neil: ok then.

Avni looked at him. She nods.

Neil and Avni moved to go and again they collided. Neil looked at her.

Avni: Sorry, sorry Sir.

Avni looked at Neil then they smiled. Neela maa was looking at them she can see a shine in Avni's eyes. She thinks.

One day, Avni's parents were standing and looking at Avni who was sitting on the swing in her room. Avni was lost in her thoughts because she was missing Neil.

Ashish: Neela, don't you think Avni is often lost nowadays.

Nm: yes. I think, it is because of Neil.

Ashish looked at her.

Ashish: what?

Neela maa nods.

Nm: I am noticing her behaviour for a long when she talks about Neil her face reflects a shine.

Ashish: What do you want to say?

Nm: I think, Avni loves Neil.

Ashish was shocked he turned his face to Neela maa who also turned to him and nodded.

Later, Neela maa and Ashish came into Avni's room and saw she is sitting by carrying Daisy in her lap. She saw them and was about to get up.

Ashish: sit, sit.

Avni sits back. She was looking at her parents.

Ashish: what happened, princess why are you upset?

Avni smiled with hesitation.

Avni: no, nothing papa.

Neela maa caressed her hair.

Nm: Avni, we never forced you for anything. We are your parents if you will not share your problem with us then with whom you will share it. And top of that we trio are best friends so you can share anything with us.

Avni was looking at them.

Ashish: Princess, say it. Tell papa about the problem.

Avni looked down.

Avni: P, papa, Neela maa, I, I...

Avni was fidgeting her fingers.

Avni: I.

Nm: love someone?

Avni looked at her. Neela maa signed say. Avni nods. Ashish and Neela maa looked at each other. They smiled.

Ashish: so what's so frightening about it?

Avni looked at him.

Nm: crazy girl.

Ashish: who is that lucky boy?

Avni: N, Ne, Neil sir.

Neela man's smile faded she looked at Ashish who looked at her. Avni looked at them and they smiled fakely.

Nm: I knew it.

Avni: are you not angry with me?

Nm: no, why would we? In fact, we are veryl happy. Our happiness is in your happiness. When you are happy we are happy?

Avni smiled. She hugged Neela maa in excitement who was not happy then Avni turned to Ashish who spreads his arms to hug her. Avni hugged him. Neela maa thinks. Avni breaks the hug and was very happy.

Ashish: I will talk to them soon about your alliance.

Avni blushes. She wanted to jump but control in front of her parents.

At the time of the night, a cafe had shown where Neil entered the cafe and looked around. He saw the person whom he came to meet. Neil goes there and saw Ashish is sitting there. Ashish gets up and signed Neil to sit. Neil nods and sat.

Neil: why did you call me here?

Ashish: I want to talk to you about something very important.

Neil nods and signed with his hand to say.

Neil: say.

Ashish: I don't know, how to say?

Neil frowns.

Ashish: Neil, Avni is my only daughter. I love her more than anything else in my life even more than my life. I never said her no for anything. I gave her the best and want the best for her. I always fulfilled her wish. I always gave her what she need before her saying. She is my princess, my precious gem.

Neil: Why are you telling this to me, Mr Mehta?

Ashish looked at him he thinks for some seconds.

Ashish: What do you think about Avni?

Neil was confused. He finds Ashish's question weird.

Neil: she, she is good. A competent and intelligent girl.

Ashish: Indeed, my princess is intelligent but I am not asking about professional qualities. I am asking in another way.

Neil: like?

Ashish: like marriage alliance.

Neil was surprised.

Ashish: Neil, Avni likes you very much.

Neil was shocked.

Ashish: She loves you. Neil, my daughter is a gem her heart is pure just like a child. I am not saying all these things because Avni is my daughter, I am saying these things because she has these qualities. Ne...

Neil interrupts him by leaning to the table.

Neil: Mr Mehta, Mr Mehta, hold on, hold on.

Ashish looked at him.

Neil: I don't know what are you talking about but I never saw Avni with that eye she was just an intern for me that's it.

Ashish: ok but now you can think about it. Sh...

Neil: I am sorry, Mr Mehta but I don't want to get married now. I want to focus on my work now.

Ashish smiled awkwardly.

Ashish: ok, you can get engaged now and about marriage, we will see that in future.

Neil: Mr Mehta, I don't want to get involved in any commitment. I don't know about the future but for now, it's a no from my side. I am sorry.

Ashish was shocked. Neil gets up and Ashish also gets up. Neil was going.

Ashish: what if I invest in your project.

Neil stopped he frowns and turns to him. Ashish turned his face to him. Neil was confusingly looked at him.

Ashish: I told you, I never said no to my princess, I always gave her what she wish. She loves you and I will fulfil her wish.

Neil: Mr Mehta, I am not a toy, about your daughter asked for and you will buy her that.

Ashish: I talked to you in a straight way but if you want to do a business, deal then takes it as a deal. If you accept this alliance then I am ready to invest in your project and get more investment for you. The choice is yours.

Neil thinks he looked at Ashish and again looked down he was in a dilemma about what to do. Neil was thinking he looked at Ashish and again looked down.
