Roshni started visiting Avni frequently so that she could somehow help Avni. She had seen her vulnerability. Avni tells her about the incident and her thoughts. Roshni gets puzzled.

Roshni's POV:

Why is this guy doing such things? What shit is going on in his mind? Sometimes he is a good guy sometimes bad. What a two sided personality he has! Sometimes he is the hero and sometimes villain. Should I speak to him? I don't know. Maybe once. This guy is making the Avni inside Ananya come out. If this happens.... She might turn weak again. I can't let her get hurt again... She is my responsibility here.

End of POV 

Avni: What do you think? Is Neil playing with me or he is real?

Roshni: I don't know Avni. I can't understand what's going on.

Avni: Hmm..

Roshni (thought for sometime and decided to change her mind): Hey Avu...Let's play something na. I'm getting bored.

Avni: Are you a baby? I'm not playing. I don't have the mood.

Roshni: Oh hello! When I am around you your mood can't become 'beech ka bandar' (Monkey in between).

Avni gives her a look..

Roshni: And by the way who says that only baby or children play? Keep the child in you alive baby!

Roshni pulls Avni into the bedroom and made her jump on the bed with her.

After 2 hours.

NEIL'S APARTMENT

Someone kept on ringing the bell multiple times. Neil got up irritated. Somewhere in his mind he expected Avni to come because she used to ring the bell so furiously. To his surprise as well as disappointment it was ROSHNI.

Neil: Umm...Roshni ? 

Roshni: Oh you remembered me? I can't believe it!

Neil: Why is that so hard for you?

Roshni: You already know why..

Neil: Yaa, why not? (thinks) Can Roshni help me mend up things? She is close to Avni. If I tell her the truth maybe she can help me through it. I am sorry Avni but I think I have to use your friend to get you back. (to Roshni) Good...that you came. Come in. Have a seat.

Roshni sits on the couch.

Roshni: What do you mean by Good?

Neil: um..nothing. You tell. What has brought you here?

Roshni: Avni.

Neil: I know that already.

Roshni: Why are you doing this to Her?

Neil: What am I doing?

Roshni: (anger in her tone) Why the hell are you playing with her feelings?

Neil: ( With the same amount of anger in the tone) Do you know the fcking whole truth? 

Roshni: Maybe I know.

Neil: Maybe (chuckled) With your 'maybe' you came here to scold me or punish me or what?

Roshni: Only to know the reason for you to play with her feelings Mr. Neil Khanna.

Neil: I didn't play with her feelings ok? it's our destiny who played with us. Do you get that?

Roshni: You have done all the bloody mistakes and you blame destiny! Wow!

Neil: You know what...Shut the fuck up if you don't know the whole truth. Yes, I agree that I have made many mistakes but the place where we both are in...It's not completely my fault. Do you get that!

Roshni: Then whose fault it was?

Neil: Juhi

Roshni: Do you mean Juhi Kapoor?

Neil: Yes.

Roshni: what did she do?

Neil: Do you want a cup of coffee? Cause it's a long story.

Roshni: Okay.

Neil: Juhi Kapoor was my classmate. Her mother was some kind of a rich woman and she was her walking talking show off model. Me being the charming handsome guy... She was always behind me.

Roshni (thinks) : Self obsessed! 

Neil: Avni and I are school bffs...(pause) were... I was older than her and maybe that's why Juhi was more irked...that a younger girl was able to enter my heart and she flirting with me half the day was not able to. Avni and I! We had an unbreakable bond....but then....I broke everything.

Neil breaks down!

Roshni: Neil...calm down. What had happened?

Neil: I always knew that she will do anything to be with me. She could even harm Avni. She tried too...nut then I stood like a pillar in front of her. She understood that she needs to break my trust on Avni to break our relationship and she did. I....I....was so blind with anger that.....
After Avni's father died I took her to London. There I hope you know that she got pregnant. I didn't know that. I got a call from home that my father had an heart attack and he was critical. There was some matter about business. My mom said it was all because of Avni. Funfact: Dayawanti had killed her own son. We just saw Avni holding the weapon and her sitting beside him crying. I knew she didn't kill him. I knew she didn't. My mom liked Avni earlier but after that she started to believe her as a bad omen. She told me all sorts of connections to my father's condition. I didn't believe her first but then my immature mind started to believe her. That was biggest mistake of my life.........
