Neil : ali u idiot y did u tell avni about juhi , if no one were around here I would have taught u a lesson

Ali : hahaha I hope now u know my problem

Neil : oh really ali , just to understand ur problem u told avni great !! wait I too will get time

Ali : yaar nothing like that , riya asked me about juhi then I said that all that in flow

Neil : hmmm , u know what today when she came to office she saw juhi hugging me and she

Ali : wait !!1 what u hugged juhi ? neilll u r still in contact with juhi and u meet her and u did not even tell anyone

Neil : oh just shutup ali , I am not in touch with her its just that today she came for an interview for my PA post and she doesn't even know that I am the boss

Ali : oh she got excited seeing u and she hugged

Neil : noo ali let me complete my sentence , she got selected for job and in happiness she hugged me and at the same time avni came inside my cabin and I introduced avni to juhi not knowing that u told about juhi and she hearing juhi name became very sad , poor girl she cried and it is all because of u stupid

Ali : what ? she cried ? I am sry neil and I am sry for avni too , I can never see her sad , she is my bestie

Neil : u r talking as if I can see her sad

Ali : no I mean , y did u select juhi than , I think u should have not done this

Neil : done what ?

Ali : select juhi as ur PA , I mean I know avni trusts u and u love each other a lot , but every girl will have insecurities , see riya she got angry and she felt sad because I talked to my crush sweetly , i am experienced in this matter 

Neil : yes ali , but juhi is not anything to me , she is not my crush that avni will have insecurities and u , u not only talked sweetly to her but also ignored riya on that day so she got upset

Ali : no yaar I did not ignore her she only thought like that , anyway keep one thing in mind I know juhi is nothing to u but juhi had some feeling for u right?

Neil : ali

Ali : wait neil did u tell avni that juhi proposed u

Neil : no yaar , u just told that I called juhi beautiful and hearing that she got very sad and if I tell that juhi proposed me she might really feel uncomfortable juhi being around me so I did not tell her

Ali : but neil I don't understand y did u give juhi job

Neil : she is in extreme need of job ali and she was very sad so I gave , she is our friend right then how can I not help her and she is capable of the job she has good job qualities

Ali : hmm u r right , but also  I think u should have not given her job atleast not as ur PA

Before neil could speak anything else avni and riya comes there

Riya: what guys what r u talking about

Ali : nothing we r talking about clothes that what should I but for my marriage

Riya: hmm u can talk about it later, come now we have to leave its already late

Ali :ok ok

Ali hugs avni and wishes her one more time , he hugs neil

Ali : ok neil take care and take every step carefully (he whispers in neils ears)

Neil pov :what happened to ali , he is sayingall this as if juhi is my ex girlfriend and as if I am keeping her in home ,she is just my friend and avni is also ok with that and juhi is only up tooffice , hmm this ali , I think riya gave him a huge dose that is y he is askingme also to be careful
