Avni was looking at him she was confused what is true side of man the one which she faced at the childhood or the one who is standing in front of her.

Prakash: I think Neil is right we have to think about avni now not about others.

Neela maa nods.

Shweta: what you want Avni?

Avni: I think we should not postpone the wedding I am fine now and wedding is at night I will take rest and will feel better.

Neil: but Avni you are not well.

Avni: I am fine.

Neela maa is seeing the change in her behaviour she only argue with her or riya but today she is arguing with Neil even avni herself don't know she is changing.

Neil: but a.

Avni: aunty uncle our relatives come from our home town they have their lives too they came by managing their schedule they will not come again.

Shweta: Neil avni is right.

Neil looks away in anger.

Nm: yes Neil I think avni is right.

Neil: aunty you too.

Neela maa nods.

Nm: yes because she is right.

Avni: mamma I am fine now and it's just a matter of one day.

Neil: it's not just a matter of one day there are alot of rituals during the wedding and you have to sit do you have energy to sit for hours.

Avni nods yes by looking down Neil got angry and looks away.

Neil: I can't believe this.

Prakash: Neil if she is saying she is fine then fine and we all will be with her we all will handle the situation.

Neil look at him neil knew his dad do not say anything without thinking and listening other point of view so Neil nods.

Neil: ok if you all are ready then I am ready.

Avni in mind: I don't want to marry but I am doing this for my parents and if we postpone the wedding then those thoughts will hunt me daily and make me weak and I don't want that.

Neil was looking at her

Neil in mind: what are she thinking now she is marrying me for her family then she should be happy with the postpone decision but she opposed that why?

Neil was think.

Nm: thank God our all guests are staying in the hotel if they knew about her condition then don't know what they think.

Avni shocked and look at neil he look at her and smiles.

Neil: ok uncle and avni take care ok.

She nods yes.

Neil: ok uncle aunty bye.

Ashish and neela maa: bye.

Neil look at avni then went from there avni think.

Avni in mind: he was here the whole night but who told him about my fever.

Ashish: princess do you want anything?

Avni shook her head.

Ashish: ok.

On the other side Neil went to meet avni's doctor.

Neil: Dr she was all ok then suddenly fever.

Dr: see sometimes It happens because of tiredness and stress girls usually take stress on their wedding days it's quite normal they are conscious about their future about their upcoming life how it will be how her in-laws treat her so many questions are in their mind so might be it happened because of that and avni avni is very fragile she take stress on little things I am her doctor for years and I noticed something is in her heart which she is not sharing with anyone I asked her parents but they didn't knew about that neela ji also tried to talk to her but she denied.

Neil: do you think something happened to her.

Dr: I don't know she is like this since childhood.

Neil: ok doctor can you please check her once actually today is our wedding so she can't come here if you go there to check her then I shall be very thank ful to you.

Doctor smiles.

Dr: ok I will go once I will be free from here.

Neil: thank you.

Then Neil was walking in the corridor of hospital.

Neil in mind: she was all ok yesterday then this fever doctor said may be it happened because of tiredness and stress but she is fine with my family infact she has a great bond with them so that is not the reason for sure and tiredness i don't think that's the reason of her fever. because of tiredness she couldn't have 102 fever then what's the reason.

Neil think and frown.

Neil: am I the reason for her fever she is all ok with everyone except me did she took stress because she think how I will treat her after the marriage she trust my family but she don't trust me.

Neil thinks.

At evening mehta house was beautifully decorated and neela maa aman and ashish were instructing the worker and in avni's room riya and make-up artist were making avni ready.

Riya: you know avni last night you scared us we all were tensed and Neil avni I can't explain his condition you know he sent you the message to ask about your health don't know how he got to know may be this is called soul mates when uncle told him about your health he instantly came here it take 30 to 40 minutes to reach her from khanna house but they reached with in 25 minutes I think and avni he was so so scared he sat near you and kept the wet cloth on your fore head he didn't move from there the whole night avni I must say you are very lucky he loves you alot.

Avni was listening her and think.
