AvNeil enter the house
(Its the khanna mansion which earlier belonged to dwm& avni's room is the one which was neil's)

A-neil u go upstairs to the guest room
3rd room from the right
I will come in a while
Neil nodded

Once neil left, everyone was glaring at avni-some questionable &some deathly
Ashish, dw& ketan werent at home

A-Before you all bombard me with yr questions, I want to tell u something pretty imp
Just come with me

They all stood near a pillar

A-u all remember i had mentioned abt one of my patients- victim of solitary confinement?

Riya-u didnt tell- u literally used to just discuss about him- just one mention of him& u used to start off

A-hes the one avni said, still staring at his retreating fig which was out of sight behind a pillar by then

Riya's face turned into a total O

R-i dont believe u avni
It literally doest look like

Am-di even i agree with beauty without brains-he litterally doest look like a patient of solitary confinement

A(low tone)-he hasnt opened up much till now& tbvh, im in no hurry-i want him to take as much time as he needs

Ayesha-beta dont get me wrong but why did u bring him here?
We can get him shifted to a hotel

A-i wish i cud do that maa
But rn, he needs complete medical care& a healthy environment
I cudnt leave him there at the hospital bcz of this (she shows them the video she shot 2days back)
Everyone eyes widened in shock& fear
The authorities might find him again at the hotel& forcefully take him back to the same hell& this is how he was being treated there before i was given his case
If i wudnt have reached on time, god knows what wudve happened-i wud never be able to forgive myself
If needed, then i will get him admitted in my hospital so that he stays in front of my eyes
Ive already thought of installing a secret camera in the room which will be handed over to him in the hospital but till then can u plz co- operate with me?
Its a matter of just few days

Riya-we might agree avni but what about ashish chachu, dadi& papa's vp?

Leave that to us, said ayesha& hetal
Its difficult but we will convince them
Moreover, he looks a good person by heart
God knows why he had to go through so much torture

A-tysm chachi& maa for understanding me& supporting me.i promise neil wont dissapoint u or me

Riya-but u have to admit that he damn hot!
Aman& avni gave an "impossible" look to riya

A-accha?then we shud tell ali to accept the girl's proposal who has been behind him since so many days

R(angrily)-ali!!!
Riya left angrily while aman& avni laughed
but unknown to them, all this was overheard by neil

N-i promise avni u wont need to baer my responsibility for long-i will leave as soon as i can

Same evening-

Dw, ashish& ketan returned home& were shiocked to learn abt neil& confronted their wives

Ashish- dont u know we have2 daughters at our house?
I agree with bhai, said ketan

Ashish-also, we dont know anything about his family background as well while dw was silent all this while

Dw-let him stay

Ashish& ketan were both shocked while ayesha& hetal smiled for the little hope they got

Dw-i trust my gd& its a matter of few days only

Ketan-but maa?

Dw-this is my final decision& saying this, she left

all this was noticed by avni& her happiness knew no bounds she gave the same news top neil who smiled a bit

Avni noticed the dullness on his face& sat in front of him

A- arent u happy neil?

N- i am

A-then whats the matter?

N-i dont wanna be a burden on u avni
It doesnt matter wheather im a good& honest person by heart or not cz at the end of the day,its a fact that im a nobody& yr fam's concern for u& riya is natural

Avni's heart ached by the fact that he thinks so low of himself-despite having a pure heart
She held his hands in hers

A-tell me,do u trust me?

N-more than myself

A-then plz dont go

Neil nodded his head in ok& avni had a huge smile on his face

**Time lapse***

It had been more than a month since neil came to mehta mansion& his humble nature& honesty soon made him win over everybody's heart-even ashish& ketan changed their vp abt him

Avni was taking him for his counselling sessions too,tho she knew that she cud also take his sessions-he was her patient after all but refused cz she thought he might open up to someone else more than her

Thankfully her idea worked& gave positive results-even the dean of her hospital was impressed by her

Dean-so u did as u promise
Im really proud of u ms Mehta

A-thank you very much sir

The councellor also had similar experiences with neil

Counseller-he has indeed improved alot
The neil i saw in the hospital 10months back was completely different from whom im meeting these days
Its true that he cudnt complete his education but his mental state& brain are in sync with his age
You were right avni- sometimes love& care heals a person sooner than any medication or treatment

A-thats great news but did he tell anything abt his past or childhood?

Counseller-well not yet
But i will try that he does open up

Avni smiled
She was very happy to know that neil was recovering

Sorry for the filler chap
Next 1will be longer
