The drive to pareikh mansion was quite silent .. And after half n hour the trio reached pareikh mansion ... Where they were welcomed by their sweetest nanu ..
Nanu : aa gaye nana ke aankh ke tare ( stretches his arms to engulf his pota and poti in a hug ) ...

As soon as Avni saw her nanus cute gesture she forgot all her stress and throws herself in her nanus arms ...

Nanu took Avni in his always magical teddy bear hug ..

Nanu : ( while caresing her hairs ) how was your day baccha ...

Avni ( cutely ) : very tirey nanu ... So much work ..

Meanwhile Dhruv too joint the hug .. Listening nanus voice vidyut came down and saw that his brother and sissy are having their special hug without him ...

He went towards them ...

Vid : thats not fair nanu ... Aapne apna teddy bear hug sirf Bhai aur Avi ke saath share ... Meri toh koi parvah hi nahi hai ( fakes anger ) ..

Avni : ( pulling vids cheeks ) ohh my nautanki bhai come here ( and pulls him in the hug ) ...

The trio had a teddy bear hug with their nanu ....
Neela was admiring this adorable bond from distance and neik was also watching this standing at the door both of them were having smile on their faces after few mins .. All parted away from nanu and then Dhruv moved towards neela he greeted her with hug but Avni just said a plain cold hello to her which made neela sad ...

Suddenly vidyuts eyes cought Neil ...

Vid : hey buddy who are you .. Please come inside why are you standing their ...

Neil smiled at vidyuts welcoming gesture and came inside ...

Dhruv came forward ...

Dhruv : ohh sorry i forgot to introduce him he is ...

But neil cut him off ...

Neil :(moves to neela ) allow me to intoduce my self .. Hello beautiful lady my name is neil ( bends to touch her feet ) Neil .. Neil Khanna .. Naam toh suna hi honga senorita .. ( and flash his ever charming smile ) ...

Neela giggles at neils cute antics ...

Neela : ( pulling neils cheeks ) naam toh suna nahi hai lekin yeh raj mujhe pasan hai ... (To dhruv ) tumne bataya nahi ke tumhara koi friend aa raha hai ghar ..

Dhruv : voh maa ..

But this time Avni interupted ..

Avni : he not anyones friend .. He is my PA and also he will be staying as a PG ... ( with a stern face )

And started to move up ..

Neil ( to Neela ) ( whispers ) hey senorita yeh pehle se hi itni khadus thi yaa waqt ne kiya koi devil sitam ...

Neela chuckled at this and Avni who had listen this gave glares to neil ...

Neil just gulped his lump and mutters : beta tu toh gaya ...

But Avni just sighted and went to her room while Vidyut and Nanu too welcomed neil ... And then vidyut showed neil his room ...

After some time it was dinner time all were on dinning table except Avni ... As usual this was not new for others except neil ..

Looking at empty chair neela was sad as though avni stays under the same roof but she never joins them in their family time ...

Dhruv : maa aap tension mat lo main use khila dunga .. Aap log dinner kar lijiye aur jyada sochiye mat .. Aap ko pata hai na Avni kaisi hai ek baar kaam main lag gayi toh fir use kisi baat ka hosh nahí rehta ....

But how a mother can be calm when her daughter had not eaten sonething .. A mothers heart only wants her chikds happiness .. Neela knows avnis nature but she is also a stubborn mother of a stubborn daughter .. She will only get peace when her daughter will have something ... So this time Neela decided that she will go and feed her by her hands ....

Neela : tum log khana khao main jake avni ko khilake ati hun ...

Vidyut : maa aap yahi baithiye main jata hun ...

Neela : nahi vidyut main jaongi and its final ...

Despite knowing how Avni will react ... They all let go her ...

In study :

Avni was working on her project as usual finding some way to stay away from that family time which she too wants to spend but she never let her heart dominates on her ... She also craves for her mothers love but the walls and those insecurities of her never let her do that ... She was engrossed in her thoughts when she heard a knock on door she thought it might be Vidyut or Dhruv so without looking up she just let that person come in ... Neela came with a tray in her hand ... And placed on the other table ... She was looking at Avni who was back facing her with tears briming in her eyes ...

Avni was thinking that it might be her brother she started speaking but her half focus was in the file ...

Avni : bhai sab ne khana kha liya na .. Aap ne khaya ki nahi .. Aur nanu ki medicine voh unhe di na aur maa ... Unhone khaya na .. Unhe please apne meals skip mat karvaye ga aap ko toh pata hai na voh kaisi hai ....

Neela was hearing this all with tears falling from her eyes .... She knows that avnis  cold behaviour towards her is just fake ... She actually cares for her .. Wiping that tears away she spoked ...

Neela : ek maa apne bacche ke bagair kaise kha sakti hai ...

After leastening this avni came into senses and got to know that she was not talking to her brothers but with her maa .. Her eyes were briming but she gulped that tear and masked herself ...

Neela came close to her : main janti thi ke meri avni aapni maa se kitna pyar karti hai ...

Avni : kon kehta hai main aapse pyar karti hun .. Mujhe aapki koi parvah nahi hai main bas isi liye puch rahi thi kyu ki dhruv bhai aapko bohot chahte hai .. Bas ..

Avnis each word was preaking like a thorn in neelas heart ..

Avni : khana rakh diya aapne .. Ab aap yaha se ja sakti hai ...

And neela could not take this she ran away from their .. When she came back from study with tears in her eyes Dhruv and Vidyut understood what must have happened ..

Dhruv : vid tu maa ke pasd ja unhe sambhal main Avni ke pass jata hun ..

Vid noded and went to neelas room while Dhruv went to study and saw ....
