The time skips, and Mehtas' decided to stay there at Harleen's request. Harleen, Akash, Prakash and Swetha we're in Harleen's room cracking some jokes. Maddy and Juhi we're in Maddy's room executing new plans to defect Avni. Avneil and Anjali we're in Avneil room chit-chatting. They didn't tell Avni about that thali incident as they didn't want Avni to worry.

In Maddy Room.

Maddy:- Why can't you do that Arathi? It was a nice chance to defeat her.

Juhi:- Agh... Why did you stop it? I added Ammunition powder so that Avni will be gone from Neil's life but you spoiled everything.

Maddy:- Are you mad Juhi? If it blasts everyone will die.

Juhi:- Okay leave it. Let's make the next plan. This time I will not allow Avni to escape.

Maddy:- What's going on in your mind?

Juhi:- Just wait and see.

They went to Kitchen.

Juhi:- Let's make some glasses of juice.

Maddy:- For what? Plz, Juhi tells me about the plan. I can't wait for more.

Juhi prepares juice and pours them into glasses and she takes out a powder from her pocket.

Juhi:- This is poison. I am going to add a few tablespoons of powder to this glass and give it to Avni.

Maddy:- Okay. I will do the honour.

She takes poison in her hand.

Maddy:- This is for destroying your happiness. ( add a tablespoon of powder and both smile at each other). This is for making me a thief in this whole house. ( add the next spoon).

Then they stirred the juice well and placed it on a tray with the other two glasses. They were about to go upstairs. As Akash said Harleen called them.

Juhi:- Ha bebe.

Harleen:- Ananya, I have something for you.

She went near Neela's and Ashish's photos kept in her room. Besides a small Diya is lightened and a small cover. Harleen was about to take that cover but her hand slipped and Diya falls into that cover and burns it. They extinguished the fire but the cover got burned.

Harleen:- Sorry Ananya.

Juhi:- It's okay bebe. What was that gift?

Harleen:- it's a secret.

Juhi:~ Okay...

Maddy:- Ok Maa... We were making some drinks for all of you. We will bring it.

Harleen:- Okay...

Juhi and Maddy bring the juices to give them and went to Avneil's room and she knocks on the room.

Neil:- Yes come in.

Juhi and Maddy stepped inside the room.

Neil:- What do you want?

Juhi:- Nothing I just come to give some refreshments.

Anjali:- Thanks.

Juhi:- This is for you Avni.

Gives the glass on which she mixed poison.  Avni takes the glass and drinks it.

Avni:- Thank you.

Juhi:- You are welcome. ( she smiled at her) you all have fun we are leaving.

Avni:- Neil my head is spinning.

Saying this she collapsed into his hands. Juhi and Maddy look at each other and smiled. Neil takes Avni in bridal style and went to the hospital. Anjali tells this to family members and went in another car. They reached the hospital. Avni is taken to ICU. Everyone has tensed especially Neil, Swetha and Anjali.

One doctor comes outside.

Neil:- How is she, doctor?

Doctor:- I won't lie. She is in critical condition. She has been poisoned and it spreads to her entire body and it affected her main organs. Maybe medicines will work on her but the results are not assured as there is only a 30% chance.

Neil falls to the ground and started crying. Swetha tries to console him.

Neil:- My Avni...

Swetha:- Nothing will happen to our Avni. Have faith in God.

Prakash:- Bebe, I think you should go to the house and take some rest. We will inform you about the whereabouts.

Bebe:- Okay.

She went near Neil and patted his shoulder. Neil hugged her and cried.

Bebe:- Don't worry Neil nothing will happen to Avni. I will pray for her.

She kissed his forehead.

Prakash:- Neil comes after dropping them off. Akash is with you.

Swetha:- Prakash Ji I am also staying with him.

Neil:- It's okay mom. You go and take a rest.

Swetha:- But...

Akash:- Yes Swetha Aunty, I will be there with Neil don't worry.

Maddy and Juhi are watching this standing in a corner.

Maddy:- When will that doctor come and say that good news?

Juhi:- Aunty, if she recovers all of our family members will accept her. Look at the change in Bebe. All these days she is trying to kick Avni from Neil's life but now she is consoling Neil.

Maddy:- Don't worry Juhi. This time victory is with us.

They all went with Prakash to Khanna Mansion.

A few hours later,

The doctor came outside from ICU.

Neil:- Doctor, Is there any improvement in her.

Doctor:- Sorry Neil... We couldn't save her.

Neil:- What do you mean by that Doctor? Are you kidding me? If then I will show you.

Doctor:- No, You are also a doctor, why can't you understand the situation, we tried our level best but we couldn't able to save her. I am sorry.

Neil is crying while sitting on the chair beside the ICU. Akash is consoling him and Prakash informs Swetha about the same.

Everyone, we're sad except Maddy and Juhi.

What will happen next?

Will the truth come out?

Stay tuned for the next chapter
