Juhi sits in her room and recalls Neil's words... her hand was fisted together.. she stares at Neil's photo which was kept on bed side table.

She picks the photo and caressed it.

Juhi : no Neil... you can't leave.. I don't care if the contract is over but I'm not done with you.. you can't be anyone else if you can't be mine... I will not let anyone come near you... I can't let my plan ruin... I have worked so much to get close to you... I'll get you Neil matter what... I'll get you... just and watch what I do to you and your company..

Juhi smirks knowing what she had to do next.. she gazed his photo before hugging the photo frame close to her chest.

Neil walks to his apartment with the report in his hand.. he went straight to his room and moves to his cupboard.. he unlocks his locker and carefully puts the report.

He then taking his clothes went to fresh up.

Neil after freshening up goes downstairs to have something to eat but realising his kitchen is empty.. he thought to order food from outside.

He sat in the hall and taking his phone out ordered food from outside.. Neil switch the tv and flips the channel... he was watching tv when his door bell rang..

He walks to the door thinking it would be delivery but didn't knew opening the door would hurt him only..

Neil opens the door and got gasped seeing Avni there..

Neil composed himself and looks at her who was holding the box.

Neil : what are you doing here?

Avni : I am here to return these gifts that you gave me... I don't want to keep any memories of yours... your things only gives me pain...

Neil looks at the box which she was holding...

Neil : why are you returning it now?

Avni : why can't I return it now Mr Khanna? Can I come inside?

Neil : yes come in...

They both walked to the hall and Avni's eyes roamed around the hall...

Neil : you can keep it there...

His voice brought her back to earth.. she kept the box on the floor and sat down..

Avni : why do you live here? I mean... aren't business man who can  afford a mansion?

Neil : why does it matter where I stay? You have return the gift back then can please leave now?

Avni : excuse me where is your manners? How can you kick out your  guest out?

Neil : what do you want avni? Whatever you did yesterday is that enough for you?

Avni : you really think that was enough... you have long away to go mr khanna... by the way  the announcement you made in office how much is it true..how can I believe you? How can I believe you?

Neil : believe on what miss?

Avni : how can I believe you that you won't be marrying Juhi?

Neil : and who are you to know about my personal life?

Avni : yeah right...

At the same time the door bell rang...

Avni : who could be here at this time? Let me guess your secret girlfriend.... Well I should leave now... I don't want to disturb your time with your girlfriend...

Her words did broke his heart but Neil putting straight face walks to the door and opens the door. He took the parcel and thanked the guy.

Neil walks back to the hall and kept the food down.. Avni's face expression changed as she saw the parcel but didn't corrected her word..

Neil : have you had your dinner?

Avni : no! Why do you ask?

Neil: it's pretty late! You can have it here if you don't have any problem... I mean it's your wish.. you can have it or wait till you get back home and have with your boyfriend....

Avni's eyes widen hearing the word boyfriend but smirks...

Avni : well that won't be problem having dinner with you... my boyfriend is very understanding... he trust me a lot..... especially he doesn't break my heart or give me betrayal...

Neil knew that was directly taunt for him.

Neil : not everyone is lucky like you... well best wishes is for you... I wish you both stay together....

Neil said avoiding looking at her and moving to kitchen to grab some plates..

Avni frowned hearing him but thought why did he say like that but she shrugging her shoulder took her phone out and messaged reyansh...

She kept her phone down as she heard his footsteps...

Neil kept the plates and glasses down... he sat on other couch and passed a plate to avni..

Neil : you can serve yourself as you wouldn't like if an stranger serves you...

Avni looks at him before nodding her head... they both starts eating silent... they finished eating... Neil went back to kitchen to wash bye plates but Neil didn't realise his phone dropped out of his pocket...

Avni was sitting in hall and tapping her foot in the floor when Neil's phone rang... avni looks at the place where he was sitting.... She got up and took the phone...

She saw the caller Id and frowning thinking who could be this person calling him this time...

Avni picks the call up and before she could say hello other side person spoke...

Caller : hello Neil... did you collect your report from hospital? What did the report say? Is everything okay with your health?

Avni's eyes widen hearing the word hospital and report but mostly she was shocked and wondered what could happen to him that he had to go hospital.... Avni opens her mouth to say something but her voice didn't come out... her body was numbed hearing the person... she stood there numbed and didn't realise when the phone was snatched from her....

She comes back to reality after hearing his voice...

Neil : I'll call your later... yes... bye...

Neil ended the call and looks at avni who was shocked and staring him....

Neil : you should leave now...

Avni : who was that? Why was she saying about your health? What report was she talking about?

Neil : It was wrong number... you got some misunderstanding.. what would happen to me? Even if it does then why would it bother you? Didn't you wanted to see my death any sooner? Did you not say that yesterday?

Avni : Neil....

Neil : avni... please leave now...

Avni : no I won't... leave... you have to tell me... what happened to you?

Neil : why do you care? Why does my health concerns you avni? Why?

Avni looks at Neil then avoided looking at him to which Neil chuckles...

Neil : it doesn't matter now avni... I I got my answer... you should leave... your boyfriend must be waiting for you....

Avni : Neil..... can I stay here today? Please!

Neil stares her without blinking his eyes but gave small nod...
