Neil was looking at Avni.

Neil in mind: there was a time when you were possessive about me but now you are behaving as you don't care about me.

Neil thinks.

Neil in mind: did I lose her?

Neil thinks and looks at Avni.

Later, Neil goes onto the stage and a man gives him the mike.

Neil: may I have your attention, please.

All looked at him. Avni was standing with her both families.

Neil: thank you. You all must be thinking that why we have organised this party. Some of you must have guessed it and of course, have seen this trophy and have guessed it. But there is not one, nor two, there are three reasons behind this grand party.

People were surprised.

Neil: yes, you heard it right, three reasons. The first reason is my wife, Avni Neil Khanna's achievement. She got an award for the best freelancer and here is the reward for her work, you all must have seen that till now. Congratulations, my wife.

Neela maa and all smiled but Avni looked down. Neela maa touched her arm, Avni looked at her and smiled.

Neil: really proud of you.

Avni thinks.

Flashback:

Avni and Neil were standing in the room.

Neil: why did you keep it here? To make me feel jealous.

Avni shook her head.

Neil: to show me that I did not get the award but you got it. You are showing me the pride of your victory.

Avni: no, Neil.

Neil: then what do you want to prove that you are a winner and I am a loser. You wanted to make fun of me.

Neil: Oh please, stop this drama, you are so cunning, you knew I am nominated for the best businessman but I am not getting the award so to show me attitude, you hid about your coming there because you wanted to make fun of me in front of others.

Avni looked at him with tearful eyes. Neil clapped for her.

Neil: Wow, just wow, how smartly you played your cards. Impressive.

Flashback ends.

Avni looked at Neil who was smiling and all clapped for Avni she smiled.

Neil: now let's move to the second reason which is a surprise. Actually, this should be shown at a business party but due to some reasons, we have to organize this party here at the mansion. Anyway, let's just disclose it. We are introducing a new model of car. Here are some designs and a short demo of the new model.

Neil moved aside and they showed the pictures and a short video. All clapped. Neil comes to the centre.

Neil: now the turn is of the last surprise which is very special to me and is the motive of my life.

Neil sighs.

Neil: today, for the first time we are going to show the model of my City "The Paradise city".

The wall of the glass slides down and Neil goes to take off the cover and he showed the model of his dream project. All clapped. Neil was so overwhelmed by seeing the model, his happiness was reflecting in his eyes. Neil took the remote and showed the video of the construction and demo. Avni smiled to see him happy. The video ends and all clapped for him.

Neil: thank you. Media wait for their turn after some minutes we will start the press conference so please wait. Thank you. I hope, you all have liked it. Paradise is not only a housing scheme it is my dream, my life.

They go. Neil looked at Avni who forwards her hand.

Avni: Congratulations.

Neil looked at her hand then at her.

Neil in mind: am I a stranger to her that she is shaking hand with me.

Avni looked at the hand then at Neil. Neil smiled and shakes hand with her.

Neil: thank you.

Avni smiled. They were standing together but were feeling awkward.

Avni: ab excuse me, I have to attend to the guests.

Neil looked at her, Avni goes, and Neil was looking at her. Neil was disappointed by her act, he was not liking her going away from him and maintaining distances but he was also confused that why he is feeling that. He was not ready to accept his feelings.
