It was the time of the night, the moon was shining in the sky and the lights of the Mehta house were on. In the Mehta house, Avni was standing in her room and she was looking at the balcony's side with frightful eyes because someone was standing there.

Avni looked around and she saw a vase on the shelf. Avni went there and she took the vase. Avni looked at the door. The shadow went away and Avni took the tip-and-toe steps to the door of the balcony. Avni went there and she tried to open the lock without making any sound. Avni opened the lock and waited for the person to come. Avni took her hair behind her hair. Avni was ready to hit the person.

The person opened the door and Avni was about to hit the person unaware of the reality that it is her Neil. Neil saw that and he got frightened and blocked the attack with his hand. Avni was shocked to see Neil and she stopped.

Avni: Neil. Tum?

Neil was scared and he looked at Avni who got embarrassed so, she kept her hair behind her ear and wiped her upper lips. Neil shook his head in shock and he sighed by keeping his hand on his heart.

Neil: ab kya kiya maine?

Avni: Mujhe kya pata tha ke tum ho. Mujhe laga ke koi chor ghus aya hai ghar main. Ab tum choron ki tarha ase aaoge to main kya karun.

Neil smiled.

Neil: woh raat bohat ho gai hai to is liye...

Neil nodded. Neil saw the vase in Avni's hand.

Neil: tum kya is vase se kisi ka sar phorne wali thi... Wah meri sherni.

Avni: han phor kar dikhao.

Avni acted to hide him and Neil got scared. Neil looked at Avni lovingly.

Neil: Acha?

Avni kept the vase there at the study table. Avni saw that Neil is looking at her with desire in his eyes and Neil took steps toward Avni who took steps back. Avni was about to hit the wall but Neil took a quick step and he kept his hand behind Avni's head. Avi turned and saw the wall then she turned to Neil and their noses touched. Avni fumed and Neil was looking at Avni lovingly. Neil caressed Avni's cheek. Avni felt a shiver in her body and she closed her eyes in anticipation. Neil touched his cheek to Avni's cheek who kept her hand on the wall. Neil did the same with the second cheek and then he moved to Avni's neck and Avni squeezed her eyes. Avni stretched her neck. Neil dragged his lips and nose to the other side and he continued his work. Avni stretched her neck. Neil looked at Avni and then he looked at Avni's parted lips. Neil leaned to Avni but something struck in his mind and he squeezed his eyes.

Neil knew if he kissed her then he will not able to control him and the work for he came will remain incomplete. Neil looked at Avni who opened her eyes and she was looking at Neil confusingly.

Neil: Avni, I came to talk to you about something very important.

Avni frowned. Neil moved away from Avni.

Neil: Aao beth kar baat karte hain.

Avni was looking at Neil who held her hand and took Avni to the bed. They sat on the bed. Avni was looking at Neil. Neil sighed and she looked at Neil.

Neil: Avni, tum Jay ko kab se janti ho?

Avni: Jay ko?

Neil nodded and said hmm.

Avni: jab se college join kiya hai. Kyun?

Neil: Avni, mujhe Jay per doubt hai.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: Accident ke din se Jay gaib hai.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: Aur to aur us ke father ki tabiyat kharab hone wali baat bhi jhoot thi. Us ke father bilkul theek hain. Main khud mila hun un se.

Avni got another shock.

Neil: aur unho ne bataya ke unhe to kuch nahi howa tha.

Avni: to Jay ne jhot kyun bola?

Neil was looking at Avni and Avni got shocked.

Avni: car ke break fail karne ke liye?

Neil nodded and Avni was shocked.

Neil: security guard ne bataya ke car ko park karne ke bad Jay car ke sath kuch kar raha tha jab us ne pucha to Jay ne kaha ke car main koi kharabi hai. Car awaz kar rahi hai to wahi check kar raha tha.

Avni: awaz? Car ki to maine recently service karwai thi.

Neil nodded.

Neil: I know. Jay car ke break fail kar raha tha. Us ne tumhara dost hone ka faida uthaya.

Avni was shocked.

Avni: Lekin mujhe yeh smajh nahi araha ke Jay ne asa kiya kyun? Kya dushmani hai us ki mujhse?

Neil: ab yeh to tum bata sakti ho... Avni, socho, ho sakta hai ke kabhi tum dono main kisi baat per larai hoi ho, yah koi an ban, koi behas wagera kuch bhi.

Avni was thinking and she shook her head.

Avni: nahi, Neil, kabhi nahi. Jay to sab ke sath hamesha hi acha rehta tha. Mere sath kya us ka college main kisi ne sath koi jhagra nahi howa hoga woh bohat hi chilled kisam ka banda hai.

Neil thinks.

Neil: to ho sakta hai ke...

Neil didn't complete his sentence and he looked at Avni. Avni waited for him to complete his sentence.

Avni: ke?

Neil was looking at Avni.

Neil: ke woh tumhe like karta ho

Avni was shocked.

Neil: aur hum dono ko sath dekh kar you know... shayad usay jealousy hoi ho aur usi jealousy main us ne...

Avni was in shock.

Avni: Yeh... aa... kya...

Avni caught her hair.

Neil: Avni, relax, yeh sirf mera andaza hai. Maybe asa na ho. Main wrong bhi ho sakta hun.

Avni thinks.

Neil: khair choro. Asli waja tak to main pohanch hi jaunga. Jay ke ghar ke bahar humare officers hain aaj nahi to kal woh pakra jaega. Akhir kab tak ghar nahi ayega. Us ke accounts freeze kar diye gaye hain zyada din tak bhag nahi sakta.

Avni nodded and she thinks. Avni got up and she was disturbed. Neil was looking at her and he got up. Neil held Avni's arm and he turned Avni to him. Avni looked at Neil.

Neil: Avniii... relax, itna stress mat lo. Main sirf kariyan jorne ki koshish kar raha hun. Yeh bhi ho sakta hai ke Jay ek mohra ho aur real mastermind koi aur ho.

Avni thinks.

Neil: Sab theek ho jayega.

Avni nodded while thinking. Neil thought to change Avni's mind.

Neil: waise manana parega, meri strong Avni phir se wapis aa gai hai. Good to see you back.

Avni smiled.

Avni: strong to mujhe banana parega, Neil. Apni normal life ki taraf wapis aana parega. Warna log ghalatfehmi ka shikar ho jaenge ke main kamzoor hun aur woh log mujhper hukumat kar sakte hain. Abhi unho ne Avni Mehta ko dekha kahan hai. Avni Mehta logon ko danton tale ungliyan dabwa de.

Neil smiled and he cupped Avni's face with one hand.

Neil: isi Avni ke to hum deewane hain.

Avni smiled.

Neil: Welcome back.

Avni smiled and she thinks. Neil thinks of something to divert Avni's mind.

On the other side, Riya was standing with the family in Dayawanti Mehta's room.

Riya: main sach keh rahi hun maine dekha hai kisi larke ko Avni ke room main jate.

DM: Riya, band kar apni bakwas.

Riya: main sach keh rahi hun, Dadi, maine khud dekha hai ek larke ko Avni ke room main jate. Neil ayega to door se ayega na ase chup kar choron ki tarha nahi ayega.

Ketan: Riya keh rahi hai to dekh aate hain.

Dayawanti Mehta got angry.

Hetal: Maa ji, kahin woh blackmailer na ho.

Dayawanti Mehta got shocked. She thinks.

Riya: Nahi, woh Avni ka lover hai.

DM: Riya.

Everyone looked at Dayawanti Mehta.

Riya: yahi sach hai. Chaliye khud dekh lijiye phir to aap ko yakin ayega na.

DM: mujhe meri bachi per pura bharosa hai sirf tujhe ghalat sabit karne ke liye chal rahi hun.

On the other side, Avni and Neil were standing in the room. An idea struck in Neil's mind.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked at Neil.

Neil: let's continue what we left incomplete.

Avni frowned and Neil looked at Avni's lips. Avni understood his sign and her cheeks turned red. Neil held Avni's waist and he pulled Avni to him. Avni's collided with Neil and her hands were on Neil's chest. Avni was looking at Neil innocently and cutely.

Neil: we are married now. Suhaagraat naa sahi kiss to kar sakte hain na.

Avni blushed hard and Neil smiled. Neil looked at Avni's lips and then he looked at Avni. Avni looked at Neil and she saw desire and love in his eyes. Avni lowered her gaze and Neil cupped Avni's face with one hand and Neil slowly leaned toward Avni.

On the other side, Riya was passing by the corridor with the family.

Riya: Aap logon ko meri baat per yakin nahi hai na to khud dekh lijiye. Woh larka abhi bhi Avni ke room main hi hoga.

Dayawanti Mehta got angry. They proceeded to Avni's room where Neil claimed Avni's lips who clenched Neil's shirt with one hand and she dragged her second hand from Neil's chest to his shoulder and then to Neil's hair. Avni ruffled Neil's hair. They were lost in their world. Neil got out of control. Avni was wearing a shirt. Neil was holding Avni's waist and he took his one hand to Avni's shirt's button. Neil tried to open the button of Avni's shirt. Neil opened one button and Avni shivered but she didn't stop Neil. Neil opened the second button.

On the other side, the family reached Avni's room. Riya knocked on the door but it opened because it was not locked. Riya opened the door and they came inside.

Riya: aiye, dekh lijiye.

They saw Avneil who turned their face to them. Avneil were shocked and they looked at each other. Riya got angry. Avneil moved away and they got embarrassed. Avni turned and closed the first two button of her shirt. Neil looked at Avni and he felt awkward. Avni wiped her upper lips and Neil ran his hand through his hair and wiped his mouth.

Ketan got angry.

Ketan: Avni.

Avneil looked at him. Neil didn't like Ketan's tone in fact, he doesn't like him.

Ketan: kya ho raha tha yahan?

Avni looked down and Neil looked at Avni. Neil held Avni's hand. Avni looked at the hands then she looked at Neil who was looking at her. Neil looked at Ketan. Avni also looked there.

Ketan: dekh liya, Maa, aap ne. Aap ko bohat bharosa tha na Avni per.

Avni was shocked to hear Ketan.

Ketan: ab dekh lijiye. Kya gul khila rahi hai aap ki Avni.

Avni was shocked and Neil got angry. Neil was about to say.

DM: Ketan.

Avneil looked at her.

DM: Zuban sambhal kar baat karo.

Ketan: Ma...

DM: Mujhe to kuch ghalat dikhai nahi diya.

Avneil frowned.

DM: Avni aur Neil pati patni hain aur band kamre main pati patni kya karte hain us se humain kuch lena dena nahi hona chahiye.

Neil smiled and stretched his neck. Avni looked down, Ketan was shocked, Hetal nodded and Riya got angry.

Ketan: Maa, aap in ki shadi ko sach smajh rahi hain.

DM: Smajhna kya hai in ki shadi sach main hoi hai. Aur sharam to teri beti ko aani chahiye jo pati patni ke kamre main taka jhanki karti hai aur humain bhi le aai.

Riya got angry.

DM: manana parega teri beti tujh per gai hai.

Ketan and Riya were shocked.

Ketan: agar Neil itan hi dodh ka dhula hai to woh ase choron ki tarha kyun aya.

Neil: Ab, Kaka, yeh bhi mera hi ghar hai.

Ketan got angry.

Neil: ab main door se aaun yaa deewar phalang kar meri marzi.

Ketan was glaring at him.

DM: sahi kaha, beta.

Ketan and Riya were shocked.

DM: mil gaya jawab.

Ketan looked away.

DM: ab khare, khare mera mou kya dekh rahe ho jao yahan se.

Riya went in anger then Hetal went and Ketan looked at Avneil then he went from there.

Dayawanti Mehta looked at Avneil and they felt awkward.

DM: Beta, Neil, yeh tumhara hi ghar hai. Ase chup kar aane ki zarorat nahi hai.

Neil smiled by looking down then he looked at Dayawanti Mehta. Avni also looked down and she felt shy.

Neil: asa kuch nahi hai, Dadi, woh raat bohat ho gai thi to socha bell ring kar ke aap logon ko disturb na karun aur mujhe Avni se milna tha lekin mere cell phone ki battery dead ho gai thi to ase aana para.

Dayawanti Mehta smiled.

Neil: Sorry.

DM: koi baat nahi.

They smiled and then Dayawanti Mehta went. Avneil looked at each other and Avni hit Neil's arm.

Neil: ouch... Mar kyun rahi ho.

Avni: to kya aarti karun. Tumhare romantic mode ka switch hamesha on rehta hai na. Dekha aaj kya howa.

Neil: to, to is main meri kya ghalti tumhe door lock karna chahiye tha na.

Avni: mujhe kya pata tha ke aap ase choron ki tarha deewar phalang kar aaenge.

Neil was about to say but he was speechless. Neil looked at Avni who raised her eyebrows. Neil smiled and Avni also smiled.

Later, the moon was shining in the sky over the Khanna mansion and it peeped into Neil's room from the window where Neil was laying on the couch keeping his hand under his head. Neil was lost in his thought.

Flashback:

Neil was passing by the corridor of the Mehta house he came to talk to Avni about Jay.

Person: Nahi, Kaka.

Neil stopped to hear that. Avni was standing in the room with Ketan.

Avni: aap ko zaror koi misunderstanding hoi hai. Prakash papa ase nahi hain.

Neil frowned.

Ketan: beta, main janta tha ke tum meri baat ka yakin nahi karogi. Salon pehle bhi meri baat ka kisi ne yakin nahi kiya tha. Tab humare ghar main darar dalne wala Prakash hi tha.

Avneil was shocked. Neil got angry.

Ketan: Ashish Bhai aur main mil kar kaam karte the aur humain din ba din bohat faida ho raha tha hum sab bohat khush the lekin yeh khushi Prakash se nahi dekhi gai us se bardasht nahi howa ke hum us se hasiyat main agaye barh jaen kyun ke kisi waqt main Khanna parivaar ne hi humari madad ki thi aur Prakash ko yeh gawara nahi tha ke hum us se agaye barh jaen.

Neil clenched his fist.

Ketan: chori Prakash ne ki aur naam mera aya.

Avneil was shocked.

Ketan: Prakash ne hi humare ghar main phot dali usi ne jhot bola ke mujhe gambling ki lat lag gai hai.

Neil thinks and he remembered that Prakash told him the same.

Ketan: aur maa ne mujhe ghar se nikal diya. Sab kuch khatam ho gaya.

Avni was looking at Ketan.

Ketan: Prakash ka asli chehre sirf maine dekha hai. Mujhe to lagta hai bhai aur Bhabhi ka accident bhi usi ne karwaya hai.

Avneil was shocked. Neil got angry.

Ketan: Prakash paison ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai.

Avni: Nahi, Kaka, yeh sach nahi hai. Prakash papa ase nahi hain aap ko 100 percent koi misunderstanding hoi hai. Prakash papa to bohat ache hain woh mujhe bilkul apni beti ki tarha pyaar karte hain.

Neil smiled to hear that Avni didn't believe on Ketan.

Avni: Aur Khanna family aur humari family to ek hi city main hone ke bawajud bhi saalon tak nahi mile the.

Ketan was shocked.

Avni: aur rahi baat us blackmailer ki to woh to mujhe marna chahta hai to woh Prakash Papa kaise ho sakte hain. According to you, Prakash papa greedy person hain jo ke woh nahi gain in real but agar hum yeh maan bhi len to bhi Prakash papa innocent hi prove hote hain.

Neil frowned. Ketan was also confused.

Avni: nahi samjhe?

Ketan shook his head.

Avni: Dadi ke do bete the ek papa aur ek aap. Aap ko aap ka hisa mil chukka so technically ab jo kuch bhi hai woh papa ka hai aur un ke bad ab mera to is lihaz se to sab kuch unhi ke ghar jayega mere aur Neil ki shadi ke bad.

Ketan was shocked. Neil smiled and he felt proud of Avni for her smartness.

Avni: to papa apna nuksan kyun karenge.

Ketan: yahi to main keh raha hun ke Prakash ne bohat bari planning kar ke tumhara aur Neil ka rishta tay karwaya taa ke sab kuch us ka ho sake.

Avni: Kaka, woh to Bari Dadi aur Bee Ji ki wish thi. Khanna family aur hum to ab salon bad mile hain aur Kaka, woh killer mujhe marna chahta tha to Prakash papa meri aur Neil ki shadi se pehle asa kyun karna chahen ge unhe kya milega.

Neil nodded and Ketan was shocked.

Ketan: Prakash ne bohat bara khel kehlna chaha hoga. Us ne tumhe maar kar bhai ko kamzor karna chaha hoga aur phir apne bete ka istamal kar ke sari property Neil ke naam karwana chahta hoga.

Avneil was shocked. Avni looked at Ketan suspiciously.

Avni: aap to ase sure hain jaise aap ko sab pehle se pata ho.

Ketan was shocked. Neil thinks.

Ketan: woh is liye ke main Prakash ko ache se janta hun.

Avni: aur Kaka, main bhi Papa ko ache se janti hun mere papa ase nahi hain so please ainda kabhi un ke khilaf mat boliyega.

Ketan was shocked. Neil smiled and then he thinks.

Neil in mind: mujhe sachai ka jald se jald pata lagana hoga.

Neil nodded and he went without meeting Avni and then he came at night from the balcony.

Flashback ends.

Neil was lost in his thoughts. Neil looked at the phone which was kept on the side table. Neil picked up the phone and he dialed a number.

Neil: Hello, DD.

DD: Yes, sir.

Neil: DD, ek kaam kar, zara Ketan Mehta ki kundli to nikal akhir itne saal woh the kahan.

DD nodded and he said, ok. Neil cut the call and thinks.

It was time of the morning, the sun rises and the birds were hovering in the sky over the Mehta house where the Mehta family was having breakfast. Neil came there.

Neil: Good morning.

Avni and Dayawanti Mehta wished him and Neil took the blessing from Dayawanti Mehta.

DM: aao, beta, betho, breakfast karo humare sath.

Neil: no thank you, Dadi, main aap sab ke sath ek good news share karne aya tha.

Avni frowned while smiling.

DM: Kya?

Ketan was not interested so he had a bit.

Neil: Jay pakra gaya hai.

Everyone was shocked. Ketan chocked. Neil looked at him suspiciously. Avni and Dayawanti Mehta got up.

Avni: what?

Neil nodded.

Neil: hmm, woh humari custody main hai.

DM: Us ne kuch bataya?

Neil shook his head.

Neil: Abhi tak to nahi lekin main abhi police station jaunga aur us ki asi khatirdari karunga ke (Neil looked at Ketan) woh tote ki tarha sab ugal dega.

Riya got frightened and she gulped. She was sweating. Avni saw her.

Avni: tumhe kya howa, Riya?

Riya looked at Avni shockingly and others looked at Riya. Neil frowned.

Riya: ku, kuch nahi. Mu, mujhe, kya, kya howa hai.

Avni: to phir tumhe itna pasina kyun aa raha hai?

Riya touched her forehead and she was shocked to see her sweat on her hand.

Riya: woh, woh mo, mosam, mosam badal raha hai na to is liye.

Avni: mosam to aaj kafi acha hai.

Riya got angry.

Riya: lekin mujhe acha nahi lag raha.

Riya got up and she went from there. Everyone was looking at her then Avneil looked at each other.

Dayawanti Mehta: ab, aao, beta, breakfast kar lo.

Neil: no thank you, Dadi, main to bus aap logon ke sath yeh good news share karne aya tha aur Avni ko le jane bhi.

Ketan: Avni ko kahan le kar jana hai?

Neil: meri wife hai main chahe jahan bhi le kar jaun meri marzi.

Dayawanti Mehta glared at Ketan who looked down.

Neil: lekin phir bhi bata deta hun main Avni ko college le jane ayah un.

Dayawanti Mehta and others were surprised.

DM: college?

Avni looked at Dayawanti Mehta. Dayawanti Mehta looked at Avni.

DM: Avni, tum aaj college jaa rahi ho.

Avni: Woh, Dadi, Neil...

Neil: Actually, Dadi, maine hi Avni ko kaha tha ke usay college jana start kar dena chahiye. Us ka mind change ho jaega.

DM: Lekin, Neil, Avni ki jaan ko khatra hai.

Neil: don't worry, Dadi, mere security guards Avni ke sath rahenge.

Dayawanti Mehta thinks. Avni encircled her arms by bending to her.

Avni: don't worry (Avni pulled the nose of Dayawanti Mehta) my cute Dadi.

They smiled and Dayawanti Mehta tapped Avni's arms and kissed her cheek. Avni also kissed her grandmother's cheek. Avni stood up.

Neil: Ab, Avni, tum ready ho?

Avni nodded.

Avni: hmm, bus do minute, main mera bag le kar aati hun.

Neil nodded.

Neil: ok.

Avni went.

Avneil was on the way to college.

Avni: Neil, mujhe bhi tumhare sath police station aana hai.

Neil: Avni, is waqt tum wahan nahi aa sakti but I promise main tumhe update karta rahunga.

Avni: Neil, please mujhe aana hai.

Neil: Avniii... try to understand, please.

Avni looked down and then she looked out from the window. Neil saw that Avni is upset and he can't see her like this. Neil concentrated on the road and saw Avni again and then he looked at the road.

Neil: Acha theek hai. College ke bad main tumhe le jaunga police station aur tumhe confession bhi dikha dunga. Khush.

Avni looked at Neil.

Avni: khushi ka pata nahi, Neil, bus sukoon ki talash hai aur woh mujhe tabhi milega jab mere mamma aur papa ke qatil ko saza milegi.

Neil kept his hand on Avni's hand who came out of her thought. Avni wiped her eyes and sighed.

Neil: I promise, main jald hi us shaks tak pohanch jaonga aur usay us ke kiye ki saza bhi milegi.

Avni looked at Neil who assured her by nodding. Avni nodded then Neil looked at the road. Soon, they reached college. Neil stopped the car and they looked there.

Neil: lijiye agaya aap ka college.

Avneil looked at each other. Avni looked nervous. Neil held Avni's hand in his hands.

Neil: Don't be nervous, remember, you are my strong girl.

Avni smiled and Neil kept his hand on Avni's backhead and he hugged Avni. Neil kissed Avni's hair. Avni smiled slightly.

Neil: sab theek ho jayega.

Avni nodded.

Avni: hmm.

They broke the hug.

Avni: Bye.

Neil: Bye.

Avni sighed and she got down from the car. Avni went and Neil signed the guards to go behind her. They nodded and went behind Avni. Neil thinks.

It was the time of noon and the sun was shining over the building of the college where Avni was standing in an open area inside the premises of the college and two security guards were standing with her. Avni saw the time on her watch and then she looked at the entrance.

Avni: Tch, yeh Neil abhi tak nahi aya.

Suddenly, she heard the sound and turned her face. A group of people was fighting. Avni was shocked to see them.

Avni: aap dono jaa kar dekhiye kya howa hai.

The guards nodded and they went. Avni was looking there and someone was coming from behind. Avni's focus was on the boys and the guards were talking with them. Avni felt something and she turned. Before she react someone kept the hanky on her mouth. Avni tried to protest and she hit her knee on the stomach of the man who stumbled back while keeping his hand on his abdomen. Avni felt dizzy.

A car stopped outside the college and Neil got down from the car. Neil felt uneasy and restless.

Neil: mujhe itni bechaini kyun ho rahi hai.

Neil thinks.

On the other side, Avni was feeling dizzy and she fainted. Avni was about to fall but someone held her in his arms and the man got up. They held Avni. Neil was coming to the college and he was feeling restless. Neil ran his hand through his hair while moving to the college.
