As soon as they rescued home dayawanti hugged Avni and told Riya  to take her to the room. While taking   Avni to her  room Riya spoke

Riya: babes do u know how worried I was when I heard about your accident..   as soon as i found out I called Ali but...before she could complete Avni looked at her

Avni: u told Ali about my accident?...Riya it was not that serious
She said getting worried thinking what if Neil gets to know as she doesn't want her plan to be wasted but she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Riya speak again.

Riya : Arien baba let me complete I did call him but he didn't answer so i just called Juhi

Avni: thank god u didn't otherwise u know everyone would have known and..

Riya: everyone or just Neil she said cutting avni...they stopped outside Avni room

Avni: Riya don't even go there me and Neil r done and by everyone I mean our friends...she said walking into her room

Riya: babes I don't know y but it feels like u r not saying the truth....she thought to herself.

Avni had changed into her pjs and came out of the washroom when she saw Neela walk in with milk

Neela: Avni here have some milk

Avni: no maa please u know I hate the taste of milk she said sitting down on her bed

Neela: I know u hate it but u need to have some now come on she said forcing her to drink it

Avni made a face and had some while Neela looked at her thoughtfully.

Avni: done now no more...Neela smiled slightly and was about to go when she stopped

Neela: by the way bacha ragini invited us for dinner tomorrow

Avni: how comes

Neela: just casually like all time...she said not bringing up that the khannas will be there

Neela looked at avni one last time and left the room

The next day in the afternoon Neela reached to the khanna mansion Shweta who was giving Bebe her tablets saw Neela

Shweta: Neela ji please come in

Neela smiled hesitantly and walked in and sat down

Neela: actually the thing is I came to say that Avni said ...she said ...she said no to get married...Shweta and Bebe looked at Neela

Neela: I'm sorry I know u must not be happy hearing this but I tried so many times to convince her but her answer is no...she said looking down

Bebe: Neela it's ok we had told u before that whatever decision Avni takes we would accept it...Neela looked at Bebe

Neela: I know but what about Neil I mean he said he still loves Avni and ...

Shweta: Neela ji u don't worry about tillu at all I agree that we came to ask for Avni hands for Neil's sake but that doesn't mean we will force Avni to marry Neil just for our tillu  happiness.

Neela: if u don't mind can I speak to Neil

Bebe: of course u can Shweta take Neela to his room.

Neil was getting ready to go to office when he saw Shweta walk in with Neela

Neil: aunty u here?

Neela; haan I came to tell u about Avni decision.

Neil looked at Shweta and then at Neela

Neela: the things is Neil.......

Around 6pm

All were getting ready to go to ragini  house for dinner...Neil was getting ready and kept thinking about what Neela told him ( hehe sorry for the suspense)

Since Vidyut and Juhi knew Avni was coming over they decided to enquire how she was when they see her

Avni had a small plaster now on her forehead and got ready in something causal.

The methas had reached there first...all the elders greeted ragini

Vidyut and Juhi hugged Avni

Vidyut: u r so careless...he said looking at the paster on her forehead and gave a side hug

Avni: I'm fine chill but thanks to this accident maa ate something and stopped the marriage topic.

Juhi: but still Avni u should have been careful u r lucky nothing else happened.

Avni looked at Juhi and knew she had to update Juhi about her plan and also she knew she would be getting some lecture from her.

Avni: guys chill I'm standing in front of u so that means I'm fine.

Riya and aman soon joined them...while Ashish called Vidyut and he got busy discussing about business with him and ketan .

Mishti: Riya masi can u do my Pony tail please ...

Riya: of course mishti come let's go.

Avni took this as a chance and took Juhi to a corner and told her everything and in return Juhi looked at her angrily

Juhi: r u mad Avni u could have used some other way..do u know how risky  this was and on top of that u harmed yourself

Avni: Juhi what could I do yaar I couldn't think of anything at that time and u know I can't be with Neil

Juhi: but that doesn't give u the right to harm yourself  Avni what if something happened to u then? 

Avni: baba chill I'm fine..but Juhi still gave her a angry look

Juhi: how long will u hide the truth Avni one day it will come out and...

Avni: no the truth won't come out...it can't come out Juhi and don't even mention about it

Aman: what r u both doing here? mom is looking for u he said walking to Avni and Juhi

Avni: nothing we were just talking come let's go Juhi.

Riya was taking selfies with everyone and then took some with Vidyut,Avni, Juhi and aman with mishti sometimes joining them...all were chit chatting when the khannas walked in...ragini saw them

Ragini: finally u r here... she said walking to the khannas ...Vidyut also got Up and went to take their blessing and hugged Neil ...while avni was shocked to see them as she didn't know they were coming...the methas also got up to greet the khanna family

While hugging Vidyut Neil whispered something to Vidyut which surprised and shocked him...once breaking the hug Neil looked at Neela who shared a look with him and shweta which was only known to them.

Neil: hey mishti he said walking to her who was standing in front of Avni...however while walking towards mishti his gaze was on Avni all the time with a small smile playing on his face which was confusing Avni...but she looked away when Neil winked at her

Neil kneeled in front of mishti and took out a chocolate for mishti while a big smile came on her face

Mishti: for me ?

Neil: yes for u since u r the cutest ...mishti took the chocolates and gave a kiss on Neil's cheeks

Neil: now will u be friends with me ?

Mishti: friends she said happily and ran to Vidyut who picked her up while she was half way opening the chocolate.

Neil got up and looked at avni and then his eyes moved to the small paster which was on her forehead.

Precrap: Avni came out of the washroom after wiping the stain of her dress when she got pinned against the wall....she looked shockingly at Neil who was close to her
