Hi all. Pls add this to all the Avneil fanfiction forums. I have again tried to tag it but as last time could not do it very well. Got an inspiration and wanted to write something very different featuring our fav couple! So here we go...

------------

She was looking at the Mehta mansion from across the road. It was an imposing building, high and mighty. Just like the people living inside it. Dayawanti Mehta was the matriarch who had brought the family to the zenith of success. Who had made them feel all the riches available in the world. She was worshiped by her family and admired by the media.

By the adage that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, her grandchild Rhea who was a hare-brained snob, still got her share of fame on social media and was a highly followed celebrity. Dayawantis children ketan and diksha were not used to work for a living. Her house was truly a dream for the people who looked at it from outside.

But the girl looking at this house from across the road knew the truth. She didn't see the mansion but she saw a rotten house with weak foundations that's easy to demolish. As she kept looking, her hands clenched and she slowly turned away.

As the girl turned  away, a police car stopped outside the house. The girl looked again in amazement. Why was a young police officer going inside Mehta mansion? Had dayawanti bought him as well like she bought other police officers and turned them against this girl in her childhood? The girl got angrier. She had sworn revenge from dayawanti Mehta. And she was adamant to not stop till she took it. She was willing to die. She was already dead from the inside and was just alive for her revenge.

Then the girl was surprised to see the police officer come out again. Rhea was clinging to his arms. And then the girl standing outside realized that this guy was no ordinary police officer. He was Neil khanna, her target.

Neil was to be collateral damage. He had just one fault and it was that he had agreed to marry rhea. And this was unforgivable to the girl. She couldn't let celebrations happen in dayawantis family.

Not while she burned from inside each moment, thinking of her mother's murder. Her father's apathy and disappearance. Her brother's  kidnap. The girl was adopted by Neela, her father's second wife or rather his lawfully wedded wife. But Neela had also passed away, leaving the girl alone. The girl was all alone in the world but she wasn't afraid. In fact she felt liberated and fearless. She had no one and hence there was nothing to lose. The girl could take care of herself. She needed nobody and she cared about nobody.

Then she saw rhea Mehta kissing Neil khanna goodbye on the cheeks. The girl was not sure but it seemed Neil flinched at rhea's touch! That was not possible. Clearly this silly boy was smitten by rhea. And why not! She was very pretty, even if in an empty headed sort of way. Boys only want one thing nowadays. The girl knew enough of the world to conclude this. And she knew enough to use this.

As neil Sat in his car and started the engine, rhea went back inside the Mehta mansion. And the girl took her decision. It was time to activate her plan. It was time for destruction and to start her revenge saga. The girl went running ahead on the road and came in front of Neil's car that had picked up speed.

Neil saw the girl just in time. Brakes were applied by Neil but it seemed to him that the girl was still hit by his car as she had fallen on the road. He stopped his car and ran outside to see her.

She was lying on the road, face upside down. Neil turned her face towards him to check the damage. Her forehead was bleeding. Neil picked her up and took her with him to the car. She seemed to have stirred a bit after feeling his arms around her. But Neil shrugged it. Mostly she was in shock. She seemed like an innocent, young college going girl.

As neil kept her on the backseat of his car, ready to rush to the driving seat and take her to the doctor, the girl fluttered her eyes half-open. Neil didn't know what to ask.

Neil -"I'm a police officer. You've had an accident by my car. I'm taking you to the doctor. Don't worry and trust me "

Girl -"ah..OK"

Neil -"tumhara naam kya Hai"(what's your name?)

Girl -"av....Ananya"

Neil repeated after her, uncharacteristically taken in by her expressions -" Ananya...Oh ok, Ananya. Mujhpe bharosa rakhna"(trust me)

Ananya -"ah..ok officer"

Neil sat on the driving seat, started the engine and the car speeded forward towards the hospital. He was worrying about the girl and didn't realize he was already recalling the way she had opened her bewitching eyes at him. Those eyes had pain, maybe due to the accident. But more intriguing was that those eyes had mystery, those were the eyes that had somehow seen the worst that the world had to offer. Neil had seen many bad things being a police officer, he knew how to read people's psyche. Neil didn't realize but he kept on thinking about the girl till he reached the hospital.

While Neil was driving, the girl kept her eyes closed. But as neil couldn't see her face, she smiled. Her plan was on track. She had to break this man and use him.
