Neil: It appears that tomorrow is when I will have a chance to convey my feelings to you, Avni. How will tonight turn out, I wonder? He whispered as he carefully tucked a strand of her hair lock behind her ear. He let out a huge breath slowly pulling himself away that captivating sight. He needs to walk away this spot now if he really wants to come back tomorrow and spill his heart out to this girl who has abducted his most precious thing. His heart.

At the Metha mansion the following morning. Neela went to Avni's room to find her sleeping peacefully after giving Dayawanti her morning pills and ensuring Ashish got up.

With a smile, Neela sat beside Avni and caressed her hair softly.

Neela: Avni. Avniii, bacha come on wake up. Its 7am.

Avni: Maa, it's 7 a.m. every day, and today is Sunday, as far as I can remember. She spoke drowsily, resting her head comfortably on Neela's lap.

Neela: I know Avni, but today you will have to wake up early as we have to go to khanna mansion. Shweta invited us for breakfast and also the pandit ji is coming to finalise the dates so come on get up now she said.

Avni eyes shot open and she sat up.

Avni: Pandit ji is coming today? She asked .

Neela: Haan now come on, freshen up we need to be there by 8am okay. she said cupping Avni cheeks and left the room.

All the amazing time she had spent with Neil flashed in her mind including last nights dinner.

Her eyes landed on the photo frame which had her, Tina and Neil.

Avni: I hope Tina doesn't mess anything up and they get engaged soon without any issues.

Getting up she walks towards her wardrobe taking out her clothes and towel she headed to the washroom. A nice warm shower is what she needed at the moment.

After getting ready, Avni was using the towel to dry her damp hair when she suddenly noticed Neil standing behind her in the mirror.

She turned around quickly and stepped back, a few wet stands clinging to her cheek.

Avni: Neil? What are you doing here so early, he smiled noticing how she was trying not to fumble with her words.

Neil: I was unable to prevent myself from seeing you. He pulled the wet strands away from her face as he continued, I wanted to tell you something. He whispered noticing her take a short inhale when he wiped away the droplets or water from her cheeks softly and grinned.

As Avni was about to take a step backwards, Neil pulled Avni closer and spun her around a few times while grinning. He noticed her flushed cheeks and the surprised expression on her face.

Neil: No more going away now Avni.

He moved his face closer to her while eyeing her lips and felt the movement of her chest as she breathed quickly. She shoved him and fled as soon as his lips got closer to hers, her laughter echoing throughout the room.

Neil: Avni, hold on. With a big smile on his face, he yelled after her.

Neil turned sides as he was loving his dream that had Avni in it.

Neil switched his sleeping position as he waa living in a dream world where it was only him and Avni.

Tina peeked inside Neil's room and opened the door to find him sleeping.

She smiled and shook her head as she walked over to see him smiling while he slept.

Tina: Neil's smile gives the impression that he is dreaming. It's time to wake you from your dream land, Mr. America. Grinning, she said.

She put her hand on his shoulder and opened her mouth to say something to him, but Neil grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, rolling her over till Tina was underneath him.

His smile faded as soon as he opened his eyes and saw Tina.

Neil jerked away from her, feeling that their position was awkward.

He sat up on the bed for a few minutes, trying to get his thoughts straight. He closed his eyes in frustration at what he had just done.

Tina sat up softly from her lying position, taking a deep breath.

A few seconds later, Tina put her chin on Neil's shoulder and wrapped her hands around his stomach from behind, causing Neil to tense and clench his fist.

Tina: I owe you a huge apology Mr America. I know you are upset with me for not showing up yesterday. Our date was ruined because of me. but trust me you won't be anymore. I won't give you a chance to be upset with me.

Neil frowned as he slightly turned his head towards her. Gesturing her what she is talking about.

Tina sighed aa a smile spread on her lips.

Tina: You'll know when you get downstairs. Into his ear, she whispered. She stood up, offering a shy grin to Neil, and about to leave when Neil quickly got up from the bed and held her hand making Tina turn towards him

Neil: Tina. Before anything else there is something i want to tell you.

Tina: Now? She asked.

Neil: Yes Now?. He said letting go of her hand.

Tina: Is it important?

Neil: Yes, very important. Important than anything else.

Avni: What's important? Avni asked as she walked in seeing the door open. Looking at Tina and Neil she frowned.

Neillll. You are not ready and here downstairs everyone is eager to meet you. Come on hurry up. She added.

Neil: Why? What happened? He asked frowning as he looked at Tina then Avni.

Avni: Well, you'll have to make your way downstairs for that. She laughed and went on, glancing at a blushing Tina. Neil smiled at her as she continued, Now don't be late you don't want Shweta aunty coming up next. Avni grinned at Tina and Neil and began to walk away. Now she simply prayed everything went smoothly.

Tina: Ayee Mr America. See you downstairs she said giving him a naughty smile.

Neil just smiled and nodded. As soon as Tina left, he decided to have a quick shower and head down to know exactly what was going on

15 minutes later Neil came out of the washroom and threw his towel on the bed as he hurriedly went downstairs to see his family along with metha family and Shekar in the hall as they waited for the pandit ji to speak.
