Avni narrated the whole story to riya , how she was so very drunk that she went to the strangers house and how she lost all her control.

Riya: Did you ask his name?

Avni shook her head and riya passed her a WTH look.

Riya: That's why I ask you to not drink so much! When you cant control yourself why the hell do you drink?

Avni: I was depressed and n..now what do you think? What will dad say? For loosing my job?

Riya: I have no idea avni and I think he is going to.... I really have no idea and your dad is short tempered much.

Avni dug her face inside her palms as tears pricked her eyes.

Riya: And about the stranger... if his house was so big and he looks like a millionare, I think you should forget what happened and move on because as far as I know you wouldn't be the first one for him.

A flash of hurt crossed her eyes and she was unknown of what happened to her all of a sudden.

Avni: Um.. yeah, there is no chance the stranger would even remember me riya .. I hate myself for doing this.

Riya: Now stop ranting avni, it was a 'mistake' and its better for you to not think about it here after. Think about the job!

"No need to worry about the job!"

Ali's voice rang and both looked in his direction.

Avni: What in the sense ?

Ali: I will ask my friends to get us appointment, he will do it by today evening and tomorrow we can attend, just make sure your dad doesn't get to know about it for today and I know you will get appointed in any one.

Riya: Wow baby, when did you become so intelligent? (Surprised)

Ali: I was always, wasn't I baby?

Ali questioned back with a proud expression and it changed into a horrified one when riya started to narrow her eyes.

Riya: Don't fly so much! Is she doesn't get job tomorrow I will cook food and you should have one whole bucket of it.

Ali: Baby no please (Cries)

Avni chuckles looking at both of them.

Avni: Thank you so much guys... for standing by me always.

Avni made her way to the both of them and the trio hugged eachother.

*** (😵😫😵)

On the other side Neil sat on the bed thinking about avni, the girl who snatched away his heart, only by spending a single night with her....he gave away himself to her. The girl for whom he had written a letter which he never did for anyone, the girl for whom he didn't prefer his very own "Millionare" breakfast and preferred to go to a coffee shop on his own to get her favourite coffee. The girl who left without even meeting him for once, the girl who left him heart broken.

Neil: Ofcouse you wouldn't mean anything to her neil, it was just a mistake for her, you cannot expect her to love you back the same way you do right?

His hands went through his hair in frustration and he threw away his phone breaking it into pieces.

Neil: Forget! And move on!

He made it clear to himself, determined.

Neil: There is no way you are going to cross your path with her again and... she also has a boyfriend like she mentioned earlier (Hurt)

He closed his face with his palms as tears pricked his eyes, his heart sank on the thought of loosing her so early when he had met him only few hours ago.

Neil: I wish.. I wish I could get you...

He closed his eyes in pain and he stood up wiping away his tears.

Neil: Move on Neil khanna! But I will keep all these as a beautiful memory of my life. (Sad smile) I don't think I can ever love anyone... ananya.. (Chuckles)

(I wrote it as aanya 😭😂😭😂😭😂)

Neil opened the room door only to find DD sitting outside with a worried expression.

DD: Sir... Are you fine?

Neil: Yes, I'am! (Smiles)

DD signs in relief looking at neil.

Neil: Lets start on concentrate on our work now, its better to blend with our routine by keeping all this aside and yeah DD I need a new phone with all my contact list before I leave to the office.

Neil glanced at his watch and DD nodded his head positively.

*** (Iam dying 😂😭😂🔪)

Avni entered her house slowly without making any noise

"Avni?"

Juhi's voice rang making her stop in her tracks, she cursed under her breath as she stood there without turning back.

Juhi: Where were you whole night?

Juhi stood in front of avni frowning.

Avni: Why do you care di? I...

"Where else will she be, she would have went on night out and got drunk!"

Ashish came there with a newspaper in his hand, he glanced at avni who had hung her head down and made himself comfortable sitting on the sofa.

Avni: Dad.. I...

Ashish: Shut up! (Glares)

Avni kept quite fidgeting with her fingers while juhi looked on sadly.

Ashish: Come here and sit...

He pointed at the chair in front of him and avni made her way and sat down like a obedient kid still looking at the ground thinking the ground to be the best place to look at.

Ashish: Care to explain!

Ashish takes a sip of his coffee looking at the newspaper.

Avni: D..Dad I was at riya's place... I stayed there...

Neela: Yes ashish... she was at riyas house and she informed me about it last night that she is going to stay there.

Neela comes for her rescue and avni signs as she looks at her mother.

Ashish: Oh... well how is your work going?

Avni: Huh?

Ashish: (Raising his brows): Iam asking about your work...

Avni: I..its going good d..dad..

Ashish: Really?

Ashish keeps the cup aside and looks at avni.

Ashish: I heard you lost the job 3 days ago...

Avni squeezed her eyes shut as tears prick her eyes.

Juhi: Papa..aap..

Ashish: No juhi, don't interrupt let me actually have a talk with her today.. So did you lose your job avni Mehta?

Avni nods her head slowly.

Ashish: What are you planning to do in your life avni?

Avni: Dad.. I just.. wanted to..

Ashish: You just want me to get embarrassed in front of others you just want to make sure the great Ashish Mehta's younger daughter is worthless , isn't it? (High pitched voice)

Tears make their way out of avnis eyes and she clutches her dress tightly in order to stop her tears.

Juhi: Dad please.... (Helplessly)

Ashish (Cutting her in between): Learn something from her... she is your elder sister look at what she has done in her life and look at you! When will you even get the seriousness in your life avni? Life isn't a joke!

Neela: Please chodo na ashish... bacchii hai...

Avni: Dad... I just joined that job so that I can show you that even iam w..worthy, even I can stand on my own legs... (Hurt)

Ashish: Did it help?

Avni doesn't answer the question and ashish shook his head.

Ashish: I don't know what you are going to do or what you are upto, but from now on you will do what I ask you to! Iam not taking you inside our company for now but you are working with our business partner and no if's and but's! Be ready tomorrow by sharp 8!

Ashish looks at avni before leaving from there and juhi makes her way to her.

Juhi: Avni...

Avni: Just stop di!

Avni gestures with her hand making juhi stop in her tracks.

Avni: Everything is because of you, I hate you!

Avni storms from the place while neela signs looking at juhi.

Juhi: Ma... (Hurt)

Neela: I know beta... she doesn't really mean it... she is just hurt because of your dad's attention more towards you... she..

Juhi: I understand ma... I know what she is going through and I never wanted dad to compare me with avni... I just don't want a rift in between me and my sister because of this.

Neela: It wont juhi... you know right avni loves you...

Juhi (Smiles): So do I!

*** (Which is your favourite movie?)

Avni lays on the bed looking at the fan which was going round and round.

Avni:Yes, I didn't achieve anything in my life yet... di is a perfect example of how a perfect daughter should be... how much ever I try to be a perfect daughter, I always fail.... (Smiles sadly) Dad will never be proud of me and what have even done in my life... You are so worthless avni Mehta! (Rolls her eyes)

She flips herself taking the phone and dials Riya's number and it didn't take time for riya to pick the call in one ring.

Riya: Hello... avni? What happened, are you alright? (Tensed)

Avni: Ask Ali to cancel the appointment riya... and Iam working with one of dad's business partner... and thanks for the help.

Riya: But.. avni..

Avni ends the call before riya could talk further making riya sign. She puts her phone aside and closes her eyes for sometime.

The ring of the phone breaks her chain of thoughts she looks at the screen with her blurry eyes which was filled with tears. She rubs her eyes wiping the tears away and receives the call.

Avni: Hello...

She stays quite for sometime as she doesn't get any reply from the other side.

Avni: Riya!? (Rolls her eyes) This lady calls me and sits there fighting with ali!

She lets of a light chuckle before ending the call.

"Shall I come in, Choti?"

Avni snaps her head to look at juhi who was standing near the door with a smile on her face, she was in her usual office wear holding a plate of breakfast in her hands.

Avni sits up on the bed and smiles at juhi while juhi sits beside her keeping the plate in front of avni.

Juhi: You didn't have your breakfast yet, so have now...

Avni: Di...

Avni says slowly looking at her hands.

Avni: Iam sorry... I just... I didn't mean whatever I told di... I was hurt because of dad's words...

Juhi: Arrey baba... its okay! I forgot about that long back...

Avni hugs juhi smiling while juhi reciprocates with the same reaction.

Avni: I love you di...

Juhi: I love you too choti! Now have your breakfast and I have to leave for work and tomorrow is your first day... and you have to be fit and fine!

Juhi makes her way out of the room before passing a genuine smile to avni and avni signs looking at the food.

*** (🍧💃🍧🍧 Me giving all of you Ice-cream's today! Only coz I have a big heart 😭😂😭🙈😜)

Avni enters the dining hall as she looks at everyone already sitting there to have their breakfast.

Juhi: Good morning! (Smiles)

Avni: Good morning everyone

She says with a small smile to which ashish doesn't reply while neela passes her a bright smile making her happy and soon they finish their breakfast.

Juhi: So... shall we leave ? its already time! (Looking at her watch)

Ashish: Meet us at the place... come with the driver, he will drop you and juhi.. you come with me in the car I have to talk something regarding the work.

Avni's face hung down as soon as she heard what ashish said.

Soon juhi and ashish leave from there asking avni to come with the driver.

Neela: Avni baccha...All the best.

Neela smiles at avni after feeding avni some sweet. Avni always loved her mother, neela never differentiated her children as such, for her both avni and juhi were always equal but she looks after avni with more care and love because juhi had her father always by her side.

Avni: Thank you mumma!

Avni plants a kiss on neela's cheek before biding her bye as the driver called her asking her to come soon.

Avni gasped as she looked at the company, somewhere it pricked that she couldn't even show her dad that she was worth. The car halted at the entrance and avni hopped out of the car making her way inside.

She saw her sister and dad discussing with their business partners standing at a distance and avni decided to sit down until they finish. She took out the phone and started to play 'Candy crush' only to kill the time.

Someone cleared her throat and she gulped as she saw her dad and sister standing in front of her. Avni passed a tight smile to which ashish glared.

Ashish: Act matured! Don't embarrass me at this place atleast... all my business partners are here!

He spat in a low voice and she hung her head down fighting with her tears which were threatening to fall down.

Ashish: Now come! I will introduce to them and you have to work with them without any issues avni, if I hear anything against you... iam serious this time (Glares)

Avni slowly follows ashish still looking at the ground, she knew if she would talk a word.. she would let out a cry instead. Juhi held avni's and and squeezed it lightly assuring her everything would be alright to which avni smile.

Ashish: This is my younger daughter Avni Mehta and she will be working under you (Smiles)

Avni signed listening to her dads voice as how sweet he was to rest of the world and not her.

She was still looking down and ashish smiled nervously.

Ashish: Avni... (Gritting his teeth)

"Nice meeting you, Ms Ananya!"

And that was it he snapped her head up to look at the person and she rooted in her spot with her eyes eyes wide open.

Avni: FML! (Curses under her breath)
