So this is the sequence when juhi swapped the content of avni's sindoor with artificial color
Ive made few changes in the sequence which you will notice while reading
Happy reading

It was evening &everyone was busy in their jobs

Juhi's room-

Mishti was fast asleep while juhi was lost in her thoughts

Juhi(to herself)-muje kisi bhi haal men AvNeil ko alag karna hoga
Mene mishti ki peternity reports ko swap kardia tha due to which neil believes that mishti is his blood

Once i remove avni from my way, neil will be mine& i will get rid of vidyut as well
Then we all will live together- like a happy family
She caressed mishti's head

But how will i deal with avni
Neil always keeps on ranting about her only- as if i dont exist
She was lost in her thoughts when an idea struck her mind

J-yes that will surely work (smirks)

*****

AvNeil's room-

Avni was lying on the bed, her head resting on the pillow with neil hovering over her
They were sharing a deep eyelock- none of them dared to blink their eyes

A(still looking at neil)- neil plz mere upar se hato
Koi aa jayega

N-koi nahi ayega bcz mene door acche se lock kar rakha h

A-dinner time hone wala h
Koi bulane aa jayega

N-men dekh lunga

A-neil plz jane do na

N-ek shart pe

A-kesi shart?

N-i want a kiss
ON MY LIPS

Thats it- avni blinked her eyes, widening them in shock

A-neil lekin

N-(placing a finger on her lips)- sshhh
Ab tum kuch nahi bologi

Neil caressed her cheek with his index finger, pushing few strands of hair behind her ear which were blocking the view of her beautiful face

Avni could feel plenty of butterflies in her stomach
His mere touch on her cheeks was making her go weak in her knees

Neil moved dangerously close to avni, sending shivers down her spine
She gulped the lump formed in her throat

It was her first kiss& she was hell nervous
Neil noticed the same& kissed her forehead lovingly

N- wifey, i know its your first time& you are pretty nervous
But theres no need to be nervous- i wont eat you up

Avni smiled at this

N- So can i?

Avni blinked her eyes, giving him a green signal

Neil moved even more close to avni& their breath started fanning eachother face
There was hardly any distance left between their lips

In the next moment, neil filled the remaining gap by taking avni's lips in a passionate kiss

He sucked each& every corner of her lower lip& then repeated with the upper one
While he was busy feasting on her lips, she was just enjoying the touch of his lips- she was so lost that she didnt respond to the kiss so he pinched her waist lightly, making her gasp

She opened her mouth &he instantly slid his tongue inside her, tasty her nectar
That was the moment when she started responding, clutching the mattress with one hand& running her other hand on his back

While he was busy exploring her mouth, she had started moaning his name in the kiss itself

When neil sensed that avni was out of breath, he broke the kiss
Avni was panting heavily- busy catching her heavy breath

Once both of them were normal, neil ran his thumb on her swollen lips while she looked in his orbs lovingly

He touched their foreheads together & mumbled a soft thank you while she lowered her gaze in response

He caressed her crimson cheeks
They were still lost in their eyelocks when they heard shweta's voice who was calling them for dinner

While avni smiled as she got the chance to escape, neil frowned

A-neil u got what you asked for
Ab toh jaane do

N-ok
Par pehle muje tumse kuch discuss karni h

A-dinner ke baad kar lenge na

N(caressing her hair)- i wont let you go

A-accha fine
Kya baat karni h?

N-tumhe yaad h humari suhaagraat nahi hui na- wo phoolo se bhara hua bed, tumhare ghoonghat daalke bed pe baithna, mere aane pe tumhara sharma jana& all that
I seriously feel we should do that

A-neil, u have definitely lost it
Mujse toh tum ye sab bilkul expect mat karna- especially wo ghoonghat wala

N-arre come on avni
Just for getting the feels once?

A-my foot
Tum hi odhna ghoonghat (annoyed face)
Now let me go

Neil knew that now if they dont go downstairs, both of them will end up blushing bcz of teasing sessions

*****

After dinner-

AvNeil returned to their room

N-accha ok
Suhaagraat wala idea side rakhte h
But aaj, sajna bharange tumhari maang men sindoor

A(shocked)- neil aadhi raat ko sindoor kon lagata h?

He kept on insisting while she was refusing &as a result, accidentally the entire contents of the container fell on her face

N-im so sorry avni
Mera irada galat nahi tha

A-kya kia tumne neil
She suddenly started sneezing constantly

N-avni kya hua?
Tumhe rashes kyu hore h?
Aur ye itching bhi?

Juhi peeped into AvNeil room& smirked as her plan was in action
Soon she left

A-Mere sindoor men artificial color mix kia h kya?
Im allergic to it
She kept on sneezing &scratching bcz of the itchy sensation

Neil didnt freak out& handled the situation with cool mind

N-accha iski antidote kya h?
U must be knowing na??

A-neela maa humesha dahi (curd) lagati thi affected area par
U plz arrange for cool curd

N-ok
Tum yahi ruko
Ill be back

(Im Not adding khanna family or neela maa rn
They will come later on)

Neil returned with curd while avni was still sneezing &scratching the rashes bcz of itching
He gently applied the curd& the itchy sensation subsided

A-ab 25 mins wait karna pdega

He kept the bowl of curd aside
N-im calling our family doctor

A-par neil bohot raat hogyi h
Ye theek hojayega
Tum tension mat lo& doctor ko mat bulao

N-nahi avni
Emergency notice deke nahi aati
Ek baar consult toh karle at least

Avni finally gave up& doctor arrived
That was when everyone got to know about her problem &got worried

Doc was examining avni in room where khanna family was already present

D-no need to worry
Mene medicines &ointments likh di h
Time pe de dijiyega
Puri recovery hone men at least 3-4 weeks lagenge
Aur time lag jata agar curd na lagaya hota

N-thank you doctor
Doctor leaves
Everyone else also left to their rooms after telling avni to take care of herself

*****

Avni had washed her face with mild cleanser
Though the itching had subsided to some extent, the rashes were still fresh

Avni saw her face in the mirror- it was terribly filled with rashes
She felt very low
She felt that neil might start ignoring her until the rashes finally get cured- which was gonna take 3-4weeks as stated by the doctor
The reaction of artificial color was very serious

She lay on her side of the bed, with her back facing neil
As she heard footsteps, she shut her eyes, pretending to be asleep

Neil entered& then closed the door

N(to himself)- avni bina kuch baat kiye hi so gayi?
Vese accha hi h- she must be so tired after whatever happened

As he lay beside her& pulled her in his embrace &closed his eyes, he could feel drops of water on his arm
He immediately opened his eyes

N-avni?
Tum theek ho?
Itching hori h kya?

When he didnt get any response from her, he turned her to face him& his heart peirced on seeing the sight in front of him- her eyes were blurry& cheeks tear stained

N-jaan
Kya hua?
Kuch toh bolo- is it paining??

Avni finally broke her silence

A(cracked voice)- you will ignore me as long as my face doesnt get healed right?

Neil was shocked at her question- he didnt know what to say
Whereas she felt that his silence was the answer to her question

A-its ok
Im used to this ignorance- ive faced this in school& college
I will try my best to not come in front of you/keep my face covered untilllll.......ummm...

Further words didnt get the chance to escape her mouth as neil sealed her lips with his

He kissed her lips gently-sucking them slowly, pouring all his love in the kiss, caressing her hair side by side

After breaking the kiss-

N-kuch time pehle muje bolri thi ke ive lost it but lagta h hisaab ulta h

Avni gave him a confused look

N- how can you even think that i will ignore you?
He wiped her tear stained cheeks gently, making sure not to touch the parts with rashes

N-i can never even think of ignoring you
Tumne esa soch bhi kese lia??

Avni's eyes again became glassy
She immediately threw herself in his embrace, sobbing terribly

A-im sorry neil
I didnt doubt your love- i can never think of doing that
But i dont know why& how i became insecure

N(rubbing her back)- sshhh
Its ok
Hojata h

And now, never forget that no matter what, i will always love you- nothing can reduce my love for you

Avni noded her head positively, still hugging him

Neil thought of removing the seriousness of the moment

N-vese muje nahi lagta ke i will need to freshen up tomorrow morning

A-kyu?

N-my shirt& chest are already wet

A-hawww!
She instantly got off him

A- go- i wont talk to you
She faced the other side while neil smiled in response

He again pulled her closer, making her back collide with his chest

N-jaan im sorry
Plz maaf kardo
Men toh sirf tumhe smile karta hua dekhna chahta tha

A-i forgive you

N-thats like my jaan
I love you

A-i love you too neilu

She hugged him tightly &rested her head on his chest
He wrapped her arm around his stomach &started caressing her hair Soon she slept off peacefully while neil kept on caressing her hair& back, staring at her face which had a satisfied smile plastered on it

He continued until his eyes also became heavy &sleep took over him

*****

On the other hand, juhi was fuming in anger as her plan backfired terribly- avni got pampered by everyone- especially by neil
He was hell worried about avni when the doctor came

When she tried to convince neil that he need not worry& can continue with his work, she faced his wrath followed by taunts from other family members

*****

Next morning-

Avni noticed some red powder in the dustbin
She touched it with her index finger& realised that her doubt was right
She called neil& while avni was thinking who could it be, neil was suspecting juhi as he saw that her sandal was creating footprints of particles of red powder as she walked towards the breakfast table in the morning
He immediately decided to confront juhi in front of everyone

N-kyu kia tumne ye sab?

Juhi didnt respond so neil decided that he will put her behind the bars under the crime for harming someone purposely when the victim didnt harm her by any means at all

Hearing the name of jail, juhi spilt the beans

J-haa
Mene hi kia tha
Mene neela aunty ko baat karte hue suna tha& tabhi pta chala k avni is allergic kyuki men nahi chahti ke avni tumhari zindagi men raha

Everyone was hell shocked

N-and for your kind information, muje ye bhi pta chal gya h ke mishti meri beti nahi h- wo tumhari& vidyut ki beti h, right?

Juhi widened her eyes in shock

N (sarcastic tone) -surprised or shocked??
Mene mishti& vidyut ka hair sample lab men bheje& results ki file khud collect kari- taki iss baar koi reports ko swap na kar paye(glaring at juhi)

Juhi admitted to all her crimes& that was it- she recieved 2slaps- 1from bebe& the other from shweta

Avni was giving her a disgusted look
Soon juhi recieved a third dose of slap& this time, by avni

A-mene kabhi nahi socha tha ke tum itna gir sakti ho juhi

Since dd had recorded everything, it worked as a proof against her crimes of misleading everyone for selfishness

Juhi started faking crocodile tears but it didnt work& she was taken to jail in police jeep

Soon everyone went to their rooms

*****

AvNeil's room-

They were lying on the bed& avni's head was on neil's chest

N-im really sorry jaan
Mere past ne sabko kisi na kisi tareeke se harm kia h& sabse zyada toh tumhe
Im really sorry
Neil was sobbing constantly in avni's lap

A-you dont need to apologize neil
Isme tumhari koi galti nahi h
Apne precious tears ko ese insaan pe waste mat karo jo insaan kehlane layak hi na ho

N-believe me jaan, i had no idea ke juhi muje haasil karne ke iraade se wapas ayi thi

A-sshhh
She gently wiped neil's cheeks which were tear stained
No more tears

Neil nodes positively &avni smiled& they shared a bone crushing hug

Responses awaited
