"What are you doing here? " He asked in shock seeing her in his room. While she smirked looking at him.

"How could I miss this big day Neil? " She asked smirking at him.

"Please understand Avni... You... " He was interrupted when shwetha called him while Neil turned in shockness.

"Tillu... Kisse baat kar rahe ho? "She asked seeing him talking alone. While Neil looked at the bed and found her nowhere. He gave a nervous smile.

" Jaldi tayar hona teek hai... " She told him smiling at his son while he nodded smiling back at her.

His smile faded once she left from there. He again searched the room and found Avni nowhere.He sighed thinking that he was imagining about her.

It was big day for everyone. The decorations were finished perfectly and lights were glowing all around. All the ladies were perfectly dressed with a matching jewels gossiping with each other.

He was walking here and there in his wedding dress. He again went near the table and took a glass of water and gulped it in a go. He was feeling restless from past hour. He don't why. He again started moving here and there.

"Gosh!!.. What happened to me?... Why am I feeling like this?..... " He said and sat on the bed resting his head on his hand.

"Do You really want to marry her Neil? " He sensed someone hand on his shoulder he lifted his face and looked at the side to see Avni is sitting beside him.

Her eyes were fully moisten. She was in verge of crying. Neil's eyes soften seeing her. He was looking at her cute innocent eyes.

"Don't you really love me? " She asked him while he cupped her face.

"Avni... " Before he could complete he heard a knock on the door while he turned to look at the door. He again turned to look at Avni but she is not there. He was confused about everything. He then went to open it and found Ali.

"Ohh Bhai.... You are looking so handsome!!!... " He hugged Neil in happiness. His face had no expression as he deeply thinking why he is seeing Avni from morning.

"Areey Neil... You are giving like.... Some ghost possessed you kinda expression " He said giggling while he glared at him.
He went in while Ali followed.

...

Neil then taken for mandap. He sat down while Priest was continuously chanting the mantras. He asked to bring the bride while Binita (Riya's mom) went.

All were waiting for the bride. Riya's mom hurriedly came from there.

"Riya is not in her room! " She said in tensed tone to Aayush Kapoor (Riya's father)

While everyone were shocked. Neil stood up from there.

"What?!.... " Shwetha said shockingly.

"Yeh kya horraha hai? " Prakash said and the guest started gossiping louder hearing that the bride is not here.

"I.... Couldn't ...not believe this... She won't do like that.... I know about my daughter... " Binita said to them and started crying.

Prakash pulled shwetha from there to back stage while Neil ran as he knows his father's anger and how important his family name for him. Riya's parents also followed them.

"Is she truly wanted this wedding or just putting up a act? " He shouted at her

"Papa... " He tried to come in between them.

"We are so sorry Prakash.... We haven't expected this! " Aayush said to him.

"You are my close friend from very long time.... But Riya... I never expected this from her...." He yelled at him.

Shwetha looked at Neil who was so tensed. Neil too couldn't able to believe, he did asked her about this that is whether she is okay in marrying him or not. Shwetha felt guilty as she was the one who insisted Neil for the wedding.

"Riya aise nahi karsakthi... Meri bacchi aise nahi karsakthi Aayush.... Tum... Tum... " She cut off went Aayush spoke.

"Stop it Binita!.... Yess she did that! " He yelled at her.

Prakash was so tensed and walking here and there as he don't know how to handle the media. Neil can clearly see that.  Neil requested everyone not to call the media but Prakash didn't listened to him but he is regretting it now. He left from there while Neil followed him.

Neil's biggest insecurity is that he couldn't able to meet his father's expectations. Prakash wanted Neil to be just like him but Neil wanted himself to be his own way. But he couldn't be able to be like himself. He did everything to be recognized by his father but whatever he did he couldn't be able to meet his expectations. They were not that much attached towards each other.

All the media people surrounded when he stepped out. They shooted him with a question.

"Sir...Is the bride eloped? ... Is this wedding a forced? " All the people were asking him. Before he could say someone interrupted

"The Bride is here!! " They all heard the voice and looked at the direction.

Neil was shocked to see Avni dressed in black lehenga with the perfect makeup with opted jewels. She was just looking so bold with her smoky eye make up even in her wedding attire.

She started taking her step forwards and turned to look at her body guard and nodded her head asking him to clear the media people right away while he understood what she meant and went with others to handle of all the media.

She stood before Neil and looked at him with a bright smile. Prakash was confused seeing them.

"Av... " Before he could complete she interrupted.

"I need to talk... " She said looking at Neil and turned towards Prakash

"shall we? " She added further.
