Money cannot buy happiness.

It was the time of evening, the birds were hovering over the Mehta house and the sun peeked into the Mehta house where Neela Maa was standing in Avni's room and Avni was standing in front of her. Neela Maa was shocked to see Avni who was looking at her. Avni saw her phone in her mother's hand and Neela Maa followed her gaze. Neela Maa was shocked and she looked at Avni who looked at her suspiciously. Neela Maa set her hair.

Nm: Main. Main bus ase hi dekh rahi thi?

Avni raised her eyebrows. Neela Maa avoided eye contact. Avni looked at her suspiciously. Avni forwarded her hand and Neela Maa was shocked. Neela Maa looked at the phone and then she looked at Avni. Neela Maa gave the phone to Avni who looked at her. Neela Maa was looking at Avni worriedly. Avni checked the phone and opened the call log. Avni was surprised and she looked at Neela Maa who was looking worried. Avni looked at the phone and the last call was from an unknown number. Avni looked at Neela Maa.

Avni: Aap ko kisi ko call karna tha?

Neela Maa was surprised.

Nm: Hmm?

Avni: Aap ko kisi se baat karni thi?

Neela was confused and she thought.

Neela Maa in mind: Lagta hai Number delete ho gaya tha?

Neela Maa thought.

Flashback:

Neela Maa cut the call and she thought.

Nm: Agar Avni ne Neil ka number dekh liya to? Phir to meri khair nahi hai.

Neela Maa thought and she looked at the phone.

Nm: Yeh number kaise delete karte hain?

Neela Maa tried and delete the number from call log.

Nm: Delete ho to gaya hai ab bus kahin history main na ho.

Neela Maa sighed and smiled.

Flashback ended.

Neela Maa was lost.

Avni: Maa?

Neela Maa came out of her thoughts and looked at Avni who was looking at her.

Nm: Ab, na. nahi, kisi se baat nahi karni thi. Bus Yahan phone para dekha to socha dekh lun thora.

Avni: To is main sochna kya hai? Dekhiye. Aiye, main aap ko sikhati hun.

Neela maa smiled and Avni went to sit on the head side of the bed. Neela Maa sighed and smiled. Neela Maa went to Avni and sat on the bed. Avni taught her to use her cell phone and she clicked their selfies. They smiled.

It was the morning time, the vehicles were flowing on the roads. The birds were hovering and were enjoying the time of the morning. Some birds were sitting over the buildings and the sun was showering its love on the people and other spices. The students were going to the college and were passing by the main gate. Some were going by walking. Some were on bikes and some were on cars.

Avni entered the main gate on her scooter and she parked it in its place because no one parked its car or bike there and the reason was Neil. How can anyone park his or her car or bike at Neil Khanna's fiancée's place? Avni got down from the scooter.

Neil was standing by leaning against the wall in the corridor of the college and a jewellery box was in his hand. A pendant was in the box. Neil was smiling by seeing it.

Neil thought. Neil closed the box and smiled. Neil saw a teacher coming so he kept the box in his jacket's pocket and went to the classroom.

Neil came to his seat where Avni was already sitting and her mood was not good. Neil looked at Avni and he was about to talk but the sir came into the classroom. Everyone got up from their seats and greeted the teacher. They sat and the lecture started. Neil looked at Avni and now he was sure that there was no point in talking to Avni because she would not talk. Neil thought to talk to Avni later.

The backbenchers were talking and were making the students. Avni was getting irritated. KK and Vidyut were talking to Neil and Avni was not able to concentrate. Avni got irritated and she looked at the students and then she looked at Neil. Neil looked at Avni and signed what happened but Avni avoided him and looked at the board. Neil frowned and thought.

Later, Avni was passing by the corridor and a student came to her and he was wearing glasses. Avni stopped.

Boy: Neil has called you into the Auditorium?

Avni: Me?

The boy nodded.

Boy: He sent me to bring you there. Please, come, else he will beat me.

Avni looked on.

Avni: Let's go.

Avni moved with the boy who was walking at one hand distance from Avni. Avni looked at the boy and made a face. Soon, they reached the Auditorium and the door was open but the lights were off.

Boy: Tum jao andar.

Avni looked at the boy and frowned. Avni looked at the auditorium and slowly she moved to it. Avni came into the auditorium and looked around but she found only darkness. Avni thought.

Avni: Neil!

Avni looked around and then she moved forward.

Avni said while walking slowly: Neil! Neil!

Avni stopped and tried to see. She can feel the things there. Avni thought.

Avni in mind: Kahin phir se Neil ne kuch plan to nahi kiya? Kahin who phir se mujhe trap to nahi kar raha.

Avni thought and tried to see. Avni moved forward.

Avni: Neil, where are you?

Avni was going and she collided with a table. Avni flinched and she looked at the table. Avni felt something on it but she ignored it because it was an auditorium. Avni looked up and here and there.

Avni: Neil!

Soon, the lights turned on and Avni looked here and there in shock.

Neil's friends and other classmates: Happy birthday.

Avni looked at the students and she was shocked. Everyone clapped. Avni was shocked to see the decorations. DD brust the party popper. Avni flinched. Avni saw the cake and happy birthday Avni was written on it. Avni looked around and saw the decorations. Neil was standing at the side keeping his hands in his jeans pocket and was smiling. Avni was in shock and her eyes fell on Neil. Neil signed how the surprise was. Avni was shocked and Neil smiled. Neil was coming to Avni who was looking at him shockingly. Neil came to Avni and he stopped near her. Neil smiled.

Neil: Happy Birthday, My love.

Avni was shocked. Avni was just looking at Neil who was smiling. Neil signed at the cake and Avni was still looking at Neil. Neil smiled looking away and then he looked at Avni. Neil leaned to Avni.

Neil: Tum jitna chaho mujhe ghur sakti ho lekin bad main. Abhi cake cut karte hain.

Avni frowned and Neil signed at the cake. Avni was confused and then she looked at the cake. Neil picked up the knife and passed that to Avni. Avni looked at Neil who signed Avni to take the knife. Avni looked at the knife and then she looked at Neil who again signed her. Avni took the knife and cut the cake. Everyone clapped and sang the birthday song along with Neil. Avni cut the cake and Neil was waiting for her to feed him. Avni hesitated. Neil looked at the cake and then he looked at Avni.
Neil took the piece and passed it to Avni to feed her.

Neil: Happy birthday.

Avni ate and everyone clapped. Avni took the piece from Neil and passed it to Neil hesitantly. Neil smiled and Avni looked at Neil and then she lowered her gaze. Avni fed Neil. Everyone clapped. Neil smiled and wiped his lips. Neil looked at Avni and he smartly took the cream of cake and applied it on Avni's nose. Avni flinched and others smiled. Neil smiled but Avni was serious. Neil took the tissue and cleaned Avni's nose who looked at him. Avni and Neil's eyes locked and they got lost. Avni broke the eye contact and Neil felt bad. Neil looked down. Avni took the tissue from Neil and wiped her nose. Neil smiled to see her. Neil remembered.

Neil announced something.

Neil: Hey, buddies, there is a small birthday party at my home.

Avni looked at Neil shockingly.

Neil: and you all are invited to it.

Everyone hooted and Avni was shocked. Neil looked at Avni and smiled. Sunheri came to Avni and held her shoulder. Avni looked at her and Sunehri hugged her.

Sunehri: Happy birthday.

Avni smiled.

Avni: Thank you.

The students came to wish Avni. They met Avni and Neil was looking at Avni. Neil thought. Avni was thanking the students and then she stopped to hear the music.

Ae..He..
Ae..e..He..
He..He.He..He..Ae..He..
Aa..Aa..

Avni turned her face and she saw Neil sitting on the stool on the stage. A guitar was on his lap.

Hmm..Hmm..
He..He..He..He..Aa..Ha..

Neil played the guitar. Neil looked at Avni with intensity. The music was playing. Neil sang.

Is Tarah Aashiqui Ka Asar Chod Jaunga
Is Tarah Aashiqui Ka Asar Chod Jaunga
Is Tarah Aashiqui Ka Asar Chod Jaunga

Avni was looking at Neil.

Neil got up and sang while coming down.

Neil came to Avni.

Tere Chehre Pe Apni Nazar Chod Jaunga

Neil leaned to Avni.

Tere Chehre Pe Apni Nazar Chod Jaunga

Neil was looking at Avni who took steps back and turned. Avni walked away. The party confetti fell on Avni and Avni was surprised. Avni looked up and smiled. Avni spread her arms and Neil smiled to see her. Neil whistled and Avni looked at Neil.

Main Deewana Ban Gaya Hu
Kaisi Ye Mohabbat Hai
Zindagi Se Badhake Mujhko

Neil looked at Avni.

Ab Teri Zarurat Hai

Avni turned and started walking. Neil turned and walked backward.

Mujhko Tu Chahiye Tera Pyar Chahiye

Avni was not looking at Neil.

Ek Baar Nahi Sau Baar Chahiye

Neil came in Avni's way and was looking down. Avni stopped. Neil looked at Avni.

Har Saans Main Apni Tujhpe Lutaunga

Neil acted to fill Avni's hairline. Avni shivered.

Dil Ke Lahu Se Teri Mang Sajaunga

Neil looked at Avni.

Tere Chehre Pe Apni Nazar Chod Jaunga

Avni and Neil were looking at each other.

Is Tarah Aashiqui Ka Asar Chod Jaunga
Is Tarah Aashiqui Ka Asar Chod Jaunga
Tere Chehre Pe Apni Nazar Chod Jaunga

Avni turned and walked away. The students came to Avni and talked. Avni smiled slightly. Neil got hurt because Avni was ignoring him. Avni looked at Neil and then she looked away. A girl came to Avni and Avni turned to her. The girl hugged her. They talked and Neil was looking at Avni.

Pyar Kya Hai
Dard Kya Hai
Deewane Samajhate Hai

Neil was coming to Avni.

Ishq Me Jalane Ka Matlab
Aashiq Hi Samajhate Hai

Avni looked at Neil.

Main Tadapata Rahun
Tujhse Kuch Na Kahun
Bin Kahe Bhi Magar
Main To Reh Na Sakun
Is Bekhudi Me Aakhir
Kahan Chain Paunga

Mar Ke Bhi Main Tujhase
Judaa Ho Na Paunga

Avni was surprised.

Tere Chehre Pe Apni Nazar Chod Jaunga

Avni was looking at Neil who was also looking at her. Avni turned and she was going from there. Neil was looking at Avni sadly who was going.

Avni was going and a group of girls came. Avni stopped and they wished her. Neil was looking at Avni. They went and Avni saw the time on her watch. Avni was shocked to see the time.

Avni: Oh, no. itna time ho gaya. Meri to class hi miss ho gai.

Avni got worried.

Avni: Main asa kaise kar sakti hun. Maine time ka dihan kyun nahi rakha.

Avni thought and she moved hurriedly. Avni was going and she was about to go but KK and Vidyut came in her way. They stopped Avni and then they tried to stop her from going. Neil saw that and he came to her. Vidyut and KK saw Neil.

KK: Dekh na, Neil.

Avni looked at KK. Avni turned her face slightly but she did not turn back.

Neil: Avni Bhabhi jaa rahi hain.

Neil looked at Avni and faced her back. Avni didn't turn back. Neil looked at his friends.

Neil: tum log jao. Main Avni se baat karta hun.

KK and Vidyut nodded and they looked at each other. Avni and Neil were looking at them. They signed to each other and then they went. Neil looked at Avni.

Neil: Avni.

Avni didn't turn back.

Neil: Avni, where are you going? We have organized this small party for you and you are...

Avni turned to Neil.

Avni: Who asked you to organize this party?

Neil was shocked.

Avni: Hmm, who asked you?

Neil: Av...

Avni: Aur kis se puch kar tum ne aaj raat ko birthday party organize ki hai.

Neil was surprised.

Avni: Kya maine kabhi kaha ke mujhe birthday celebrate karni hai.

Neil was surprised.

Avni: aur tumhe bataya kis ne ke aaj meri birthday hai aur jis kisi ne bhi tumhe bataya kya us ne yeh nahi bataya ke main apna birthday celebrate nahi karti.

Neil was shocked.

Neil: Avni, tum...

Avni: Neil, meri life tumhari life ki tarha easy aur comfort wali nahi hai. Bohat complicated hai. Bohat struggle kiya hai maine aur abhi aur struggle karna hai. Please ase aur complicated mat banao.

Neil: Avni, maine kiya kya hai? Sirf tumhari birthday hi to celebrate ki hai. Is main asa konsa gunah kar diya maine?

Avni: Gunah kiya hai, Neil. Tum ne mera time waste kiya hai. Aaj tumhari waja se mera lecture miss ho gaya. Meri class miss ho gai. Ek to tum ne meri seat change kar di hai. Piche itna shor hota hai ke mujhe kuch smajh hi nahi aata aur ab tum ne yeh sab plan kar ke meri class miss karwa di. Neil, tumhe life main sab kuch ek plate main saja howa mil gaya hai lekin meri life asi nahi hai. Mujhe apni plate khud sajani hai.

Neil got angry.

Neil: Enough is enough, Avni.

Avni looked at Neil.

Neil: bus bohat ho gaya tumhara.

Avni was looking at Neil. Neil sighed while running his hand through his hair. Neil tried to calm himself and he sighed.

Neil: Avni, maine nahi ki, Mom ne aaj raat ki party organize ki hai. Jab maine unhe tumhare birthday ke bare main bataya to unho ne party rakh li. Main janta tha ke tum apni studies ko le kar bohat conscious ho isi liye maine yeh choti si celebration plan ki. Yeh main pehle hi plan kar chukka tha is liye cancel nahi kiya. Aur aaj Ranvijay Sir leave per hain.

Avni was surprised.

Neil: isi liye maine abhi tumhari birthday celebrate ki warna mera plan to break main karne ka tha. Subha pata chala ke aaj sir nahi ayenge to maine socha ke kyun na is time main party Karen. Humain thora time zyada mil jaye ga aur tum...

Neil sighed and Avni was looking at him.

Neil: Mujhe andaza hai tumhari life ka aur mujhse jitna ban paa raha hai main isay easy karne ki koshish kar raha hun. Is struggle main tum akeli nahi ho main hun tumhare sath.

Avni was surprised and she felt something in her heart. Neil was looking at Avni.

Neil: Main to bus tumhe khush karna chahta tha. Mujhe nahi pata tha ke tumhe khush hona bhi nahi aata. Mujhe andaza nahi tha ke meri koshish meri saza ban jaye gi.

Avni was looking at Neil and she felt bad and guilty.

Avni: Neil, I am sorry aur jo bhi tum ne mere liye kiya us ke liye thank you but please ainda asa kuch mat karna. Mere liye meri studies se barh kar kuch nahi hai. Mera birthday bhi nahi. Aaj ka pura din mera waste ho jayega.

Neil: Avni, ek din se kuch nahi hota. Koi fark nahi parta.

Avni: Fark parta hai. Ek din kar, kar ke hum puri life waste kar dete hain. Tumhe shayad studies na karne se fark nahi parta hoga kyun ke tum to Prakash Khanna ke bete ho.

Neil was shocked and a think struck in his mind that he didn't have his own identity.

Avni: Lekin mere liye studies aur ache grade bohat mainay rakhte hain so please, ainda asa kuch mat karna. Please.

Avni and Neil were looking at each other. Avni turned and went, Neil was looking at Avni and he thought.

Later, Neil was standing in the corridor leaning against the wall and a box was in his hand. Neil was looking at the pendent but this time, Neil was sad. Neil thought and he saw Avni coming from the opposite direction. Neil thought and he looked at Avni. Avni saw Neil and she slowed down her speed. Avni found Neil sad and she felt bad. Avni came forward and Neil stood properly. Neil and Avni came to each other. Neil looked at the box and sighed. Avni looked at the box and then she looked at Neil. Neil passed the gift to Avni.

Neil: Hmm, this is your birthday gift. I thought, I would put it on your neck with my hands but...

Neil lowered his gaze and Avni felt a pinch in her heart to see Neil sad.

Neil said while looking down: Hmm, take it. Ab, koi force nahi hai, tumhari marzi hai ke tum isay pehno yaa naa pehno. Agar pehno gi to mujhe acha lage ga baki tumhari marzi. Yeh lo.

Avni took the pendant box from Neil and was looking at Neil. Neil was looking down. Neil looked at Avni and then he looked down instantly.

Neil: Thank you. I hope you will like it.

Neil remembered something.

Neil: Aur han Party ki tension mat lena. Main Mom se keh kar party cancel karwa dunga.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: Tum apni studies per dihan do. Agar chaho to apni seat bhi change kar sakti ho.

Avni was surprised.

Neil: Ab, jaldi class main jao Sir aane wale hunge.

Neil looked at Avni and then he looked away. Avni was looking at him. Neil turned and he was going to the classroom.

Avni: Neil.

Neil stopped and thought for a moment. Neil turned and saw Avni standing at her place. Avni came to Neil.

Avni: You don't need to cancel the birthday party. Aunty ko bura lagega. Ab aunty ne party organize kar di hai to is baar karne dete hain. Unh mana mat karo.

Neil nodded and licked his lips.

Neil: OK, as you wish.

Neil turned. Avni was looking at Neil.

Avni: And thank you.

Neil stopped.

Avni: for this gift.

Neil didn't turn back because he knew that he would break down. Neil shows that he is hard but his heart is soft just like a kid's heart. Sometimes, he ignores the big problems, and sometimes, a small thing hurts him. Neil moved and instead of going to the classroom, Neil went from there. Avni was looking at him.

It was the time of the night, the moon was shining in the sky over the Mehta house. The moon peeked into Avni's room where Avni was standing in front of the mirror and she was ready.

Avni checked herself in the mirror and set her hair with her hands. The door opened and Avni saw in the mirror. Neela Maa came into the room.

Nm: Avni, tum ready ho?

Avni nodded.

Nm: Theek hai to phir jaldi chalo. Prakash Ji ne car bheji hai.

Avni was surprised and she turned. Neela Maa found Avni nervous so she came to Avni.

Nm: Kya howa?

Avni: Maa, bohat ajeeb lag raha hai. Ek to pehli baar meri birthday celebrate ki jaa rahi hai woh bhi Khanna Mansion main. Agar koi garbar ho gai to. Bohat nervousness ho rahi hai. Main pehli baar Khanna mansion jaa rahi hun. Bohat ajeeb lag raha hai.

Neela Maa smiled and held Avni's arms. Avni was looking at Neela Maa.

Nm: tension mat lo. Asa hota hai. Yeh normal hai. Ek baar wahan jaogi na to sari nervousness khatam ho jaye gi.

Avni was looking at her mother while making a sad face.

Nm: Bacha, main bohat khush hun tumhare liye. Neil bohat acha larka hai aur us ke parivaar wale bhi bohat ache hain. Pehle mujhe tumhari bohat fikar lagi rehti thi lekin ab main relax hun, Ab mujhe tumhari koi chinta nahi hai. Tum surakhshit hathon main ho. Ab main chen se is duniya se jaa sakti hun.

Avni was shocked.

Avni: Maa... kitni baar kaha hai aap ko ke marne ki batain mat kiya Karen.

Neela Maa smiled.

Nm: Acha chalo ab chalte hain. Dair ho rahi hai.

Avni hugged her and Neela Maa smiled.

Avni: Maa, aap hi to mera sab kuch ho. Aap ke bina aap ki Avni kuch nahi hai.

Neela maa smiled and kissed Avni's cheek while hugging her.

Nm: Mera bhi to sab kuch tum he ho. Main reh sakti hun kya tumhare bina. Hmm.

They smiled.

Avni: I love you.

Nm: I love you, too.

They smiled and Avni thought.

The moon was shining in the sky and on the earth, the Khanna was shining and the guests were going there. A car stopped and Avni and the Mehta family came down. They looked at the Khanna mansion. Avni was shocked and Neela Maa was surprised to see the Khanna Mansion. Ashish and Dayawanti Mehta looked at the Khanna Mansion with an open mouth.

DM: Yeh ghar hai yaa mehal.

Avni looked at her.

Ashish: Mehal se kam nahi hai.

Avni looked at her father and then she looked at the Khanna mansion. Avni got nervous. Avni thought.
