Everyone had slept by now when avni decided to talk to neil so that theres no obstructions/nobody overhears them

N-when returning from the academy.....

Flashback

Neil was on his way to mehta house when he saw those4 people- those who destroyed his life completely
Had it not been of avni, then neil wudve been getting tortured by those4 with no fault of his own, even now

Upon seeing the 4of them, neil was scared& angry- at the same time but he didnt let his fear take over him& faced the 4of them

PersonA-looks like someone is in a very good mood today
Enjoy as much as u can cz u will soon be back in that hell

Person B- and that doctor friend of yours or rather, the girl ur falling for, wont be able to save you this time-and this is our promise

Person C(to person B)-sure
And u need not worry about that cz we will again take good care of neil

Neil(angrily)-what do u want?

PersonA-we thought we would never reach this stage

Person B-if u want "her" to be safe& sound, then do as we say-do things that she herself puts you back in the asylum

Neil-i wont let u guys harm avni
And i will never act strange in front of avni-that too, on purpose

Person D-think over it carefully cz her Safety is now in your hands

PersonA-humare koi na koi aadmi disguise hoke hamesha uska peecha krega
Uski har movement pe humari nazar rhegi

PersonC-your one wrong move& she will have to face the after effects

PersonA-think& decide carefully

With that, all 4of them leave neil hell worried-he wasnt bothered about his life or what happens with him cz by now,he was kinda habitual to bare torture &pain
He was worried about avni

Flashback over

Neil told avni everything except for the part that he has feelings for her-though he isnt sure whether its love or something more than just friendship
He realised that there was only one way to get out of all this mess- him facing his fears

Avni too, was hell worried about neil cz her fears had also kindof come true- as he told her everything, he also told her the names of the people& it instantly reminded her of the hospital incident
She was still lost in thinking of some solution when her chain of thoughts were broken by his voice

N-avni plz dont put your life under threat by trying to save me
Plz dont spoil your life by running after my safety

A-but neil
Neil didnt let her complete

N-ive decided something avni- ive realised that u were right- its time for me to face my fears-its time to answer back those who distroyed my life& are now gonna target u

A(confused)-what do u mean?

N-do u have any contacts in police or a friend who might be a lawyer?

Avni slowly understood what neil meant
She took neil in a bone crushing hug which left him surprised

A-im so happy to see that u are ready to fight against them
Ur really ready for the court battle

N(still hugging)-yes i am
And after the court battle, i will leave the country-leave your life so that u get rid off the threat& problems my presence will cause to u

Avni immediately broke the hug

A-u dare not say that again neil
It takes a lot of courage for anyone to reach where u are today- that too, after facing so much in life
Its not a child's play
Plz dont think so low of yourself
And yes, u arent going anywhere after the court battle-u arent gonna leave the city-forget country
If u want to continue this argument then we will do it tomorrow-rn u need rest& so do i
Both of us have to leave for office tomorrow

With that,avni left neil's room-unknown to the fact that the entire convo was heard by aman who was returning with a jug of water& if not anything else,then he had surely understood 1thing- neil had started falling for his avni di& he was determined to make avni realise her feelings for him& unite them after the court drama cz he had noticed it in avni's eyes as well
With that, he left to his room

Next day-

Avni was very happy with neil's decision &contacted his school friend dd who was now a police officer
She talked to him& he happily agreed& told avni that he will arrange a lawyer for neil
She mailed him neil's case history &all medical reports which worked as a medium for dd to get morre in detail regarding neil's case

Soon everything was set- a lawyer, neil's case history & the date of first hearing
The police also found his parents who were called to court by the accusations applied on them &that they cudnt refuse to come to court at any costs

**Morning, Date of first hearing***

A-neil were are on our way to the court& i know that ur damn nervous but try to understand-this is the time to face& fight your fears
You are no more the 15yrs old school boy who still has no option except to bare the torture-u cant fall weak at any costs cz its now or never

Avni's words gave him some amount of confidence to face his parents

N-yes
I can do it& i will do it

A-great
Keep this confidence &dont fall weak in front of them-your fear is the biggest weapon of them against you
Neil nodded with confidence

The trial began in court-

Neil's lawyer-your honour mr akhilendra &mandira khanna pe ye ilzaam h k unhone apni bete neil khanna ko 10saal tak ghar ke ek kamre men band rakha- sirf isliye kyuki school men unke grades weak hote jare they
Aur kuch time baad school se naam hi katwa dia
Uspar high score karne ka itna pressure dala gya k grades improve hone ki jagah bas bigadte gaye
Aur aisa bilkul nhi h k wo bachpan men bhot badmash/khurafati kism ke student they

Aur iss baat ko prove krne k liye men mr Neil Khanna ko witness box men bulane ki permission chahta hu

Judge-permission granted

L-neil court ko ye bataiye k bachpan men apke saath kya kya hua-sab kuch
Aur apko kisi se darne ki zrurat nhi h

Neil looks at Akhilendra who was giving neil a dirty smirk to weaken his confidence but avni was sitting on the first row of benches& signaled him not to fall weak-no matter what

With all his effort, he narrated his entire story since childhood (refer chap-his painful past if u wanna recollect/relate with this chap)
By the end he had tears in his eyes but wiped him off immediately-he couldnt afford to increase mandira& akhilendra's confidence

Lawyer continued-
And your honour ye rahi neil khanna ki saari medical history ki file jinse meri saari daleele sahi prove hoti h
(He hands over a file to the judge)

L-for further details, men apni first witness ms avni mehta ko bhi bulana chahunga

J-permission granted

L-ms mehta how are you related to mr neil khanna?

A-im a counselor in a medical hospital & have been in xyz hospital since past few months-i was transferred to xyz hospital for another patient's treatment where i met neil& after completing my former case, i took up neil's case
She tells them whatever has happened with neil under her treatment &his improvement as well

A-your hounor do aur log h jo iss sab men included h-2 doctors from xyz hospital
(She tells them about what happened that night with neil in his hospital room)

A-wo dono bhi iss pure case men mr& mrs khanna k saath equal partners h
(Avni also tells them relation between khannas& 2doctors)

L-ms mehta kya aap court ko unke naam bta sakti h?

A- nikhil& vaishali kashyap
Ye kuch din pehle mr& mrs khanna ke saath neil ko mile they& usse jaan se maarne ki dhamki bhi di thi
Par uske baad ye dono kaha gye ye koi nhi janta
Police abhi inki search men lagi hui h

L-thank you ms mehta
Aap ja sakti h

L-your honour iss puri situation ke according mr& mrs akhilendra khanna par ipc section 346 &342 k charges lagne chahiye

Section 346- means to confine a person in a way that his absence/disappearance isnt noticed by anyone/ wrongful confinement in secret kyuki khannas ne kabhi apne neighbors ko neil pe ho rahe torture ka& uske whereabouts ka koi doubt nhi hone dia

Section 342- which means to confine a person without his/her consent
And whoever does so, will be charged with imprisonment for 15yr or with fine of 5,00,000 or both
Aur isiliye men court se ye request krta hu k inn dono charges k basis pe mr& mrs akhilendra khanna ko punishment grant kari jaye

J-case is dismissed for today
Final decision will be declared in upcoming hearings

Outside court-

Everyone from neil's side was pretty happy cz they all had a gut feeling that they will win the case
Whereas the khanna couple gave everyone a death glare with a warning lookto their own lawyer before leaving
They werent allowed to leave the city

Avni was very happy

A-im proud of you neil

Neil just smiled

**Time lapse***

By the next 2hearings, the case was shut& went in neil's favour despite uncountable no of efforts by the lhanna couple's lawyer
Now, it was their time to get imprisoned

Mehta family was very happy for neil& they had a celebration at home as well which included just the family,ali& dd along with neil's lawyer

While everyone was busy in the small party, neil was somewhat lost in his own world
Avni noticed this but decided to talk to neil later

Precap- untitled
