Manik and Neil was in AvNeil's room and talking about their upcoming movie and music album when Neil's eyes landed on clock.

Neil : oh shit. I seriously forget about this..

Manik confusingly looks at Neil.

Manik : what did you forgot Neil?

Neil gave look to Manik like really.

Neil : stupid Manik Malhotra how can you forget today is your reception?

Manik : oh shit.. how can I forget?

Neil slaps his head and looks at him.

Manik : don't Call me stupid . I'm married now.

Neil : yeah yeah whatever.. am I not married?

Manik : Neil..

Neil : Manik Malhotra.. Chuck all this.. where is our dearest partners?

Manik : point. We should check my room. They might be there.

Neil nodded his head .

Neil : come let's go and see them.

Manik and Neil made their way to Manik's room and knocks but didn't get any response.

Neil : why aren't they responding us? Are they mad at us?

Manik : I don't know bro but I don't want to be kicked out of my room second night of my married life.

Neil giggles at him and thought of something.

Neil : I have extra key of every room. Wait I'll bring it.

Manik nodded his head while Neil went to get the key. Neil running comes there and inserting the key on key hole opens the door and pushed the door to see the most sweetest site front of him.

Even Manik enters and saw the site which made him adore. He looks at Neil who was adoring the scene front of him.

Manik : Neil..

Neil comes out of his adorning session and looks at Manik.

Neil : we have to wake them up ..

Manik nodded his head and moves to bed. Well the thing was Nandini and avni was sleeping hugging each other with smile playing on their lips.

Neil moves to Avni's side and woke her up. Even Manik did same. Both girls looks at them and passed them smile while yawning.

Neil : Jaan how did you fall sleep?

Avni : while talking I didn't realise when we slept.. but why are you here?

Neil chuckles at her and kissed her forehead. He then cups her face and looks at her.

Neil : Jaan today is doll and Manik's reception. It slipped from my mind and thought you would come and inform us but coming here I  found something else.

That was when avni starts freaking out but stopped as Neil held her hand and told her to take deep breath. Avni did say Neil said and looks at him.

Neil : Jaan don't freak out. We still have two hours before guest starts coming. You don't have to worry about the time. Okay. Don't worry about time as the bride and groom entry will late. Now calm down and get yourself ready and make doll ready too. I'm bringing your outfit here. You both can get ready in this room itself.

Avni was blessed to have him. She engulfed herself in his arms and muttered..

Avni : I love you Neil..

Neil smiles and pecks her forehead.

Neil : I love you too.

Neil then looks at Manik who was still trying to wake Nandini who was sleeping peaceful. Neil chuckles at Manik and thought of teasing him.

Neil : Manik malthora looks like you tired my sister lot in the night. Am I right?

He said with smirk on his face while Manik glares him..

Neil then looks at his Jaan who was snuggling to his chest. He smiles and patted her hair before she falls back to sleep again.

Neil : Jaan no more sleeping. Go and wash your face.. you will feel fresh.

He said breaking the hug and looking at her.

Avni nodded her head and climbed down the bed and walks to manan washroom while manik finally managed to wake up his sleepy wife.

Neil : Manik we should leave as you need to get ready too. Jaan will handle everything here.

Manik nods and looks at Nandini who was going to fall sleep anytime.

Manik : Neil why don't you bring doll outfit while I stay here as Nandini is still sleepy.

Neil looking at sleepy Nandini nodding his head and left the room.

Neil comes to his room and opens their closet. He saw Avni's outfit there along with his. He took Avni's outfit and walks back to manan room.

He knocks Manik's door and comes inside as he got his response from Manik. He saw Manik and avni sitting on bed and talking to themselves. He didn't find Nandini in the room which made him think she was in washroom.

Neil : if your brother and sister time is  over then Manik Malhotra mind getting ready for reception.

He said walking to them and placing Avni's outfit on bed.

Manik : why you're so jealous of me and doll?

Neil made whatever face and looks at avni ignoring Manik's comment.

Neil : Jaan is this one you want to wear today?

Avni nodded her head and thanks him.

Neil : Manik malthora let's go. I know you take time to get ready like newly bride. Come.

Manik : bro wait up.. let me take my clothes too..

Neil : hurry up then.. I don't have time for you.

Manik : whatever you.. I know your time is only available for my doll.

Neil : shut up idiot.

Manik ignores him and walks to his closet while avni shook her head seeing these two married boys who was acting like child.

soon as Neil and Manik left avni got down the bed and walks to Nandini's cupboard. She was going to open the cupboard when she heard washroom door clicked.. she turns her head and saw Nandini coming out while wiping her face.

Avni : Nandu come here.

Nandini keeping the towel on couch walks to avni and looks at her. Avni took Nandini's outfit and gave it to her.

Avni : get ready while I'll get matching jewellery.

Nandini nodded her head and went back to washroom taking her clothes.

While downstairs of khanna mansion was decorated for the new couple. Few guests has already starts coming. Khanna family along with fab 4 welcomed them.

Fab 4 escorted the guest inside the mansion and went back to entrance...

Mukti : Bebe aunty we will check on Nandini and avni..

Swetha : okay.

Alya and mukti went to Nandini's room while dhruv and cabir stayed back to welcome the guest. Soon Metha family and Nandini's parents arrived. Mohit joined cabir and dhruv after meeting others.

While upstairs in Nandini's room girls was helping Nandini to get ready.

Mukti : doll you should check on Neil and Manik.

Avni nodded her head and walks out the room. She moves to her room and pushes the door to see Neil gelling his hair standing front of mirror while Manik was sitting on bed and tapping his foot.. she chuckles at Manik and moves in..

Avni : Bhai.. stop being so impatient.

Manik looks at avni hearing her voice even Neil looks through mirror only to get lost in her beauty..

Manik stood up and moves to Avni and pulls avni in hug.

Manik : my doll is looking beautiful today.. it looks someone having hard to control.

He teased her but hearing her answer he was shocked.

Avni : Bhai you should save this answer for yourself..

Manik broke hug and kissed her head.

Manik : you're beautiful you know that.

Avni gave him beautiful smile.

Avni : stop buttering me. I know what you're trying to do.. by the way who are you waiting for is also waiting for you. Go to your room.

Manik grinning to himself as he was succeed knowing what he wanted to know.

Manik : you're my saviour. Thank you doll.

He rushed to his room leaving avni smiling. As Manik left avni looks up and met his eyes.. she passing smile to him moves towards him.

She stood front of him and hue red colour printed over her cheeks feeling his strong and intense gaze on hers..

Avni controlling her blush whispers his name.

Avni : Neil..

Neil slowly moves to her and encircled his arms around her waist and pulls her on his chest with bang. He brought his finger up and tucks hair hair strand behind of her ears. He then played with the same hair strand without breaking the eye lock between them..

Neil : don't you know how stunning you're looking right now.

He said caressing her left cheek with his thumb..

Avni : Neil...

Neil : hmm..

Avni : Neil.. we are.. getting late..

Neil : we are not getting late.. don't you know how hard is seeing you like this?..

Avni clenched her fist and stared him. After few minutes later Neil left her and kissed her forehead.

Neil : you're most beautiful girl.. I love you Jaan..

Avni as usually blushed at his compliment and hugged him tightly wrapping her hands around his neck.

Neil smiles and hugged her back. They broke hug and looks at each other.. Neil knowing what she wants pulls her close her and slowly placed his lips on hers.. he took her lips for short yet passionate kiss. He broke the kiss and rested his head on hers. Both were silent listening to their heartbeats..

Their moment was disturbed by Neil's phone ring. Neil moves back and took his phone out and saw cabir message.

Neil : this cabir doesn't he have any other work..

Avni looks at him..

Avni : what happened?

Neil : look at this..

He showed her the message sent by cabir. Avni burst into laugh reading the message while Neil made irritating face and looks at avni who didn't stopped laughing.. not having any option he kissed her once again to shut her laugh..

Neil broke the kiss..

Neil : stop laughing Jaan.. why does he has to tease me only.. even Manik would be romancing with doll but no he only messaged me..

Avni : Neil.. stop winching and let's go down. They would be waiting for us..

Neil : why this early? Let's make our entry special too..

Avni : Neil what are you saying? We are newly married couple and don't forget they would be media too..

Neil :  sorry I really forget the media..  I'm sorry because of me our marriage is still secret to world.. I really don't like it keeping our marriage secret.

Avni noticing his sudden voice change cups his face.

Avni : Neil it's not because of you.. you don't need to blame yourself. That time situation was different.  And who said our marriage life is secret.. don't you see how your fan has starts shipping us in real life too. They don't know we are married already. Few more days then we will announce our marriage to media. Right.

Neil : sorry I have overreacted. Sorry. I know Jaan they are loving us but you know I hate being so secret especially when it corks to you.

Avni : I know Neil.. now don't make be sad about this. We have to be happy for Nandu and  Bhai. Shall we go down. They are still waiting for us.

Neil nodded his head.

Neil : You go first then I'll come down.

Avni nodded her head and kissing Neil's cheek left making him smile.

Few minutes later Neil too come down and met his families. Media knew about Neil is back from shooting.  Media was excited to see Neil and new married couple.

As Neil was coming down the stairs media already was flashing the camera on him and clicking his pictures. Neil was wearing blue tuxedo. Whereas avni was wearing peach colour lengha.. her hair was out. She was looking beautiful being simple.

Neil then moves to his friends who was waiting for him. First he  smacked cabir head then hugged everyone one. He stood next to cabir and looks around but stopped at particular spot. He smiled brightly seeing the way his Jaan was laughing and talking to guest.. he was busy admiring her that he didn't realise when someone dragged him to stage. As he was pulled he comes back to earth and saw cabir pulling him..

Cabir : Neil have patient.. we have make announcement for the newly couple..

Neil : yeah let's go..

Cabir and Neil went to stage and cabir took Mike and announced manan name when the lights went off and fell on stairs where manan was coming down holding each other hand. They were looking adorable and made for each other couple. Everyone smiled seeing them especially the family members.

Manan walks down the stairs and was hugged their friends and family. Neil and cabir was still on stage and smiling seeing all happy.

Neil took Mike and spoke.

Neil : good evening. May I have attention please. As you all know why we have gathered up for our manan reception so I Neil khanna request you all to have seat and enjoy today's evening.

Everyone claps while Neil passed mike to cabir and got down the stage and walks to manan. He hugs Nandini and kissed her hair..

Neil : beautiful doll. I'm so happy for you.

Nandini smiles at him and looks for avni didn't find her near Neil.

Nandini : Bhai where is doll?

Neil : media.. so

Nandini immediately understood and nodded her head. Neil then hugs Manik too.

Manan was brought to their special seat. Everyone sat on their respective wait when they again heard cabir voice. This time dhruv and cabir was hosting the reception..

The reception of manan started with great loud music and danced performance by mukti and alya.. mukti Alya in between dragged Nandini and avni to the stage.

Like this everyone in family members had turn to perform something for manan and make it special for  them. Lastly there was performance by the newly married couple.

All were enjoying manan dance and busy admiring love between them. As it was dark with lights only Neil secretly sneaked to Avni's side and wraps his hands around her waist and kissed her cheek side way making her startled.. she almost freaked out thinking it was someone else but soon relaxed as she felts Neil's presence behind her. She leaned back to his chest and watched manan dance.

It was bliss moment for AvNeil as they were near each other. Neil was smiling and rubbing his stubble on her shoulder making her smile.

As the manan dance was ended Neil giving peck on Avni's head left her and moved back to his seat without getting caught by the media..

Manan comes down the stage and sat down back to their seat and looks at the front more performance.

To end the reception of manan there was couple dance which was advantage for Neil. He took this opportunity and took avni to dance floor. He was dancing with her back of the stage where media can't get them capture. Family and some closes relatives knew why Neil choose to dance at the back.

Neil was happily dancing with avni and was making her giggle with his silly jokes..

At 12am reception ending. Guest having their food and congratulating manan left to their homes.

Now only family and close friends was there.. all were sitting around big table and having dinner.. avni was eating late which was noticed by Neil.. he was thinking why she is eating less but before he could ask her got up and went from there.. he got worried seeing her going from there but didn't show it on his face thinking about other happiness.

Neil was lying down on bed and thinking about Avni when he left her presence beside him. He looks at his side and saw her lying down. Avni kept head on his chest and looks at the ceiling..

Neil : Jaan are you okay? I noticed you didn't eat very much.

Avni : I'm okay Neil.. I wasn't feeling hungry that time.

Neil: are you sure.. you don't look fine to me..

Avni : it's nothing like that.. I'm just tried..

Neil: sleep Jaan. We will talk tomorrow..

Avni hmmed and closed her eyes.. Neil kissed her head and muttered..

Neil : good night Jaan.. love you..

He was wake till she slept.. he then adjusted duvet over them and closed his eyes and slept thinking about new day.
