It was daytime, Khanna mansion was decorated beautifully with flowers and curtains.

In Avneil's room, Avni was sitting in front of the dressing table. Her makeup was done, just jewellery was left to wear as Shweta went for some work.

Avni was smiling to think about the special of her life, the day which she never dreamt of, the day when her baby will get the blessing and love of elders. Avni looks herself in the mirror and blushes she saw Neil who was lost and sad but he smiles to see her, Avni smiles. Neil comes to her and keeps the hands on her shoulders. Avni keeps the hand on his hand.

Neil: looking beautiful, wifey.

Neil: are you angry with me?

Avni frowns.

Avni: noo, why would I?

Neil: Because I changed your dress at the last moment.

Neil shook his head.

Neil: no, this dress is nothing in front of that. I know you bought that dress with so much love. I am sorry, I ruined your day.

Avni cups his face.

Avni: oh my cute Neilu, nothing is like that. Yes, I love that dress but you changed it for my betterment. That dress was heavy that's why you changed that. Neil, that is just a dress which I can wear some other day also and will wear it one time and keep it in the cupboard but whatever you are doing, will be beneficial for me the whole life.
