Thank you so very much for your response on blood relation& all my stories
It really means alot

So this is the pooja sequence when everyone ate the jalebi which was drugged by ballu after which everyone slept off

Ive made few changes in the sequence &shown more of AvNeil moments bcz i felt that CVS didnt do it
Happy reading!

*****

On ragini pandit& dwm's demand, ballu had drugged the jalebi in an attempt to kidnap avni
He disguised as a caterer& discreetly kept it in AvNeil room& hid somewhere in the house, waiting for the right chance

On the other hand, everyone went to a relative's house after the pooja but since neil was busy in a case file, he refused& they left (ballu knew about this)

Neil continued to work in the study while avni returned to their room with frustration clearly visible on her face

She spotted the jalebi& while talking to herself, she started munching on it

Meanwhile, riya was passing through AvNeil room& ballu misunderstood her to be avni bcz of same colored dress
He covered her mouth with hankerchief which had chloroform& took her in the bag& quickly escaped the venue

*****

Neil returned to his room to pick an important file when he saw avni behaving weirdly

N-avni you ok?

Avni got up but stumbled& neil held her by her waist before she falls down

N-avni kya hua hai tumhe?

A-kuch bhi toh nahi- im sosally tober

N-huh?
You mean totally sober??

A-haa
Wohi

He was about to ask her what she ate or drank since morning but then spotted the box of jalebi kept on the table which was almost empty

He picked a piece& smelt it

N-isme ek ajeeb si smell ari h
Kahi isme kuch mixed toh nahi h jiski wajah se avni ajeeb behave karri h?

A-neil
Waha kya dekh rahe ho
Vese bhi tumne subah se mujse zyada baat bhi nahi ki aur na hi muje stare kia(pouting likd a child)

Neil moved back to avni

A- aur tum muje chodke kyu chale gaye they?
Acchi baat nahi h
Muje chodke kabhi mat jana

She hugged him&rested her head on his chest

A-tum muje stare kyu karte rehte ho?
Stare karte ho toh bhi ajeeb feel hota h& nahi karte toh bhi ajeeb feel hota h
Neil smiled at her innocence

Avni picked up the small table calendar

A-ye tumhara h na?
Haa ab humare room men pada h toh tumhara hi hoga

Ye jo 10din tumne mark kiye h ye wohi 10din h na?
10din diye the
6din baki h

She faced him

Kyu ajeeb lagta h? kyuki muje aadat nahi h
Meri life men kabhi koi bf tha hi nahi
I never had a boyfriend
Koi muje kyu stare karna chahega? Tum batao?

N-apne dil se pucho avni
Tumhe jawaab khud mil jayega

Neil maintained his hold on avni bcz he knew that she might stumble

Avni again rested her head on his chest& wrapped her arms around his waist

Though she had tried to keep her real emotions for neil under wraps, her attempt failed bcz of the drugged jalebi

A-muje chodke kabhi mat jana
Promise me

N-i promise
Men nahi jara
Abhi chalo
Rest for some time

A-no

N-avni zid nahi karte

A-plz lets stay like this for sometime
I feel very safe in your arms- it feels that no dayawanti can even think of harming me

She snuggled more into his chest while he just caressed her hair
Slowly her eyes became heavy& neil felt weight on his chest

He lowered his gaze& saw avni sleeping in his arms
He smiled but knew that if he dragged her towards the bed, she will wake up so he picked her up in his arms& made her lie down on the bed& removed her sandals

He picked his file& was about to leave towards the study when he heard the sound of sniffing
He turned around& saw avni crying
He immediately sat in front of her

N-avni kya hogya
Tum so gyi thi na?
And why are you crying??

A-tum bhi muje chodke jare ho na?
Pehle papa, phir ayesha maa aur phir neela maa
Aur ab tum bhi

(Sorry for killing neela maa
Theres no chuhi- mishti drama nor any leap or jungle boy)

A-jo bhi insaan mere life men important hota h/mere dil ke kareeb hota h wo muje chodke chala jata h
Am i that bad?
Kya illegitimate hona itna bada crime h?
Par mera paida hona mere haath men thodi na tha
Then why am i always questioned about my parents or surname?
Tears trickle down her eyes

Neil pulled her up for a bone crushing hug

N-sshhh
Phir kabhi esa mat sochna
Im always there for you

A-plz dont go anywhere
Plz be with me

Neil knew that avni wasnt in her senses& was disturbed emotionally so she will take his every move very seriously
He needed to stay with her so he sat next to her& she shifted her head in his lap

Avni turned her position& hid her face in his stomach which tickled him slightly
She wrapped an arm around his waist

Neil caressed her hair& once she was asleep, he kissed her forehead& smiled at her innocent face

N-i love you wifey- just the way you are
Duniya chahe kuch bhi kahe, i know that my avni has a pure heart
As she was asleep, he decided to work in his room itself so that avni doesnt become emotional upon noticing his absence

*****

Dinner time-

Avni was still asleep while neil prepared the dinner& went to wake avni up
He got a message from kareena that they will return next day so they shouldnt wait for them

Neil went to their room with plate of food& sat in front of a sleeping avni
He smiled at the innocence which was visible on avni's face

N-avni wake up
Aur kitna sona h?
Chalo lets have dinner

A-plz na neil
I dont want to wake up

N-dekho agar tum nahi uthi toh men tumse baat nahi karunga

Avni at once shot open her eyes
Her eyes suddenly became glassy

A-plz muje chodke mat jao neilu

Neil realised that the effect of the drug was still present in her
With lot of difficulty, he consoled her& made her eat dinner, while eating it side by side

*****

Late night-

AvNeil were sleeping until avni started mumbling in sleep which woke neil up
She was probably mumbling in fear

A-nahi
mere neil ko koi kuch nahi kar sakta
Koi dayawanti usse harm nahi kar sakti
I cant live without my neilu bcz...bcz...bcz i love him
Yes, i love my neilu
And no chuhi/chipkali has authority to roam around him
And dayawanti will have to face me before harming him

He is my biggest weakness& biggest strength
I know my neilu loves me& will never leave me(smiles in sleep)

Neil was very happy after her confession& caressed her hair

N-chalo
Neend men hi sahi par tumhari dil ki baat tumhari zubaan pe aayi toh sahi
Well kab aayega wo din avni jab tum ye confess karogi- par neend men nahi

Avni moved forward & snuggled into neil's chest
She again started to mumble in sleep-

A-i feel safe when im in my neil's arms
I love it when he takes care of me- something which hardly anyone apart from neela& ayesha maa did

My neilu is the best- he never judges me on the basis of my birth
He loves me unconditionally-just the way i am
I love my neilu alot
Hes world's best hubby

Neil was the happiest person on knowing how much avni loved him& the way she claimed her rights on him- that he belonged to her which made it clear that he too, could claim her as his-
He loved her with all his heart& they belonged to eachother

He kissed her forehead &soon sleep took over him as well

I know it was pretty random
Bas jo mann men aya wo likh dia😅😅😅
