"Help!!!..... Help!!!...anybody is here?" A sound of man shouting is heard. He was tied on a the chair . The whole place was dark and he completely clueless why he had been here since 3 hours.

He was almost tired questioning who kidnapped him. He was hell thirsty and was sweating badly.

The sound of her high heels 'click clack' echoed there. She was admiring the sharpness of knife in her hand. She had the perfect smirk dancing on her face which portraying her as a serial killer.

He looked at the direction and found  someone was approaching him. Her face was not clearly seen as it was full dark. Suddenly the light fell above him while he closed his eyes due to the sudden bright light. Within few seconds he opened his eyes and saw her and was shocked.

She came near him humming a song.

"Bal-lu... " She sounded sarcastic and she was playing with knife. She was walking around him in circular motion.

"Why... Why you kidnapped me? " He asked her

"What's her fault?.... That's she married to you?.... " She completely ignored his question and was talking still walking around him.

"Why every mens likes to torture? " She asked him.

" Why only the men's have the rights to do everything to their wife...to beat her...to force and what not and a wife has no rights on her husband? " She gritted her teeth coming in front of him.

She moved near him and her hands reached near his face and she hold his jaws clenching it tightly.

"Chaiya is not your slave .... She is not your money bank..." Her eyes depicted the fire. He hissed in pain as her nails started piercing his skin.

"Nik! " She called her bodyguard while he came with a table and Avni went behind ballu and started untying his right hand which was tied around the handle of the chair while his other hand was still tied.

Nik got hold of his hand and placed on the table while Avni came in front of him.

"This hand only raised on her right? " She asked him and her eyes fixed on the knife she was holding. Her finger moving on the blade of knife. She looked dangerously at him.

"I miss playing games like this.... " She said and started hitting the knife on the table in between his fingers. While he tried to take his hands but Nik's grip was stronger and he couldn't able to move his hand a bit.

"Please stop.... Please.... Please...... I will not do like this.... I won't even touch chaiya hereafter..... " He said and started shivering while Avni's speed increased and the 'Tak Tak ' sound echoed the whole room.

"No... No.... Please..... PLEASEEEEEEE" he shouted while Nik left his hands and he took it and Avni just hit the knife on table at the centre and looked at him while her look was saying that the knife must be on his hands.

"I want to kill you... But I don't wanna make her widow........Because I know how  much she had to go through being a widow.. And how this society will treat her.... And I never want this for her.... I am leaving you because of her only...... If you ever again done that.... I won't have a second thought of killing you... "She warned him while he nodded fearing.

She asked Nik to leave him while the other bodyguard took him from there.

" What about the other work I gave to you? " She asked Nik.

"Mam... The file is ready on your study room... " He said while Avni smirked and left from there to study room.

She entered and closed the door and she took the file and caressed his name.

"Neil... Khanna... " She said and opened the file to know about him.

The next day

"Yaar Ali!!.... Is this nice or this one... " Neil said annoyed seeing two dresses and was hell confused to choose one.

"Neil... You just call riya.... And ask her to come and chose the dress she likes... That's the better idea bro... " Ali adviced him.

They both came for shopping for Riya's birthday.

"Areey... Its her gift... How can I ask her to come..."  He said giving a gloomy face.

"Mom told me to buy a ring for her.... I want to choose that too..." He said frowning like a kid.

"Neil.... You are her fiancee... You should have known about her likes and dislikes.. About her taste and everything... But you are here blabbering and eating my brain.... " Ali said while he glared at him.

"You know everything right? " He spat back annoyed.

"Yeahhh... And I already told this you ... You can't marry someone because your family want to....and you don't itself told me... You didn't felt anything for riya... " He said angrily while Neil sighed.

He turned taking a deep breath and his lips curved with a smile when he saw someone. He went from there leaving Ali to blabber alone.

"Neil... Neil!!! " He called him while he went.

He stood behind someone and was hesitating to call that person.

"Hmm.... Hii Avni... " Avni Turned hearing his voice and was suprised to see him.

"Hi.. " She said while she saw him hesitating badly.

"Hmm... Avni... I need your help... " He said after lots of thinking.

"You met Riya right.... Her birthday is tomorrow.... And I want to gift her... I want your help... " He said making cute face while Avni just looking at him without saying anything.

"Avni..please... " He said seeing her silent.

"Fine!! " She said while he smiled.

They moved into the store while Avni's eyes caught on black dresses. She chose a black pretty dress.  And then they went to the jewellery store. Neil selected a ring.

"You try this... " He said giving the ring to Avni while avni wore the ring and Neil was looking at other rings.

"Good " She said while he shifted his gaze from rings to her and hold her hand to see it while Avni suddenly felt something when he touched her.

If it would have been anyone, no one can imagine What Avni would have done. But she don't know why she didn't react to it.

"Really? " He asked and lifted his face to see her and was just lost into her eyes. They shared an eyelock.

"Neil!! " Ali broke their moment while Neil took his hands away from her.

"Is that done? " He asked while he nodded and stood up and moved with Ali.

Within few minutes, He came back to Avni.

"Avni... Thank you so much....I owe you for this... " He said and sighed in relief as like he done a big job.

"Fine!!!... I am getting late... " She said

"Yeahh... But Avni.... You are free tomorrow? ... Actually.... Tomorrow is Riya's birthday and we have a pre-celebration kinda thing for our wedding.... Can you please come ?"  He asked her while her expression suddenly changed hearing pre-wedding.

"Thank you!... But I am not free... " She replied sternly.

"Okay!!... But Try to come... For me!! " He said smiling while she just looked at him and left

At Night

Avni was sitting on the porch reading a business file while her eyes got on her hand. She just remember her moments with Neil in the store where he touched her.

She itself don't know why she didn't react to it. She felt a known feeling when she was with him. She stood up moving inside her room and took his file. She took his picture and pinned on the board looking at him.
