The family arrived at a beach side mansion. The house was facing frontside a ocean and in the below the balcony  was an open area of sand where one could see a vast area of stars. "Wow Neil",  "what a beautiful house", Avni exclaimed excitedly.  Neil moved closer, and huskily  "Not more than you!", and he then smirked while Avni eyes widened. "Besharam, you start where ever? Yaar, why do you only have a single track mind?". "Woh Kya hai na, when I look at you, I only think of things that I can do with you". Avni then gasped and slapped him on the shoulder and walked away from him. "Ow", Neil whimpered. "Papa, why did Mumma slap you?", asked Mowgli.  "Beta, did you not realize that your mumma is lady don?", and he smiled as he thought of the times when Avni fought off goons. "Lady Don?" asked Mowgli, curiosily. "One day, I will tell you but not now. Right now we have to see hitler Dadi", and he went with Mowgli to the doorstep. Bebe rang the door and a mid 60's lady opened it. She had combed her hair in a bun and was wearing a Gujarati sari. SHe was wearing a big bindi on her forehead and she had a strict look as if she was going to scold someone. "Harleen, welcome. It has been so long since I have seen you", she said as she hugged Bebe. " Same here, but what can we do? We have been so busy and far" but in her mind "Thank god."😂😂.  Prakash went to take her blessing with Shweta. "Prakash, I still see you are still married to dayaan", Kamba mused. Shweta and others became shocked and Shweta was about to say something until Bebe answers. "Oye Kamna, you can't instult my daughter in law. I can do that only and please don't say anything against my daughter in law law please ". "Woh Harleen, I am just repeating what you told me".  Neil and Avni went to kamna and took her blessing. Kamna looked at Avni and stared at her.  Avni looked nervous while Neil was curious. "Why is Aunty looking at my Avni like that? Areh, Neil are you getting jealous?". "You remind me of someone. Some director" kamna mused. Avni looked down. She really didn't want to talk about her parents right now especially in front of Kamna Aunty. Kamna, went to Mowgli who hid behind Avni being nervous. " go touch her feet," Avni instructed. Mowgli did as per his mothers instructions. "Beta, What is your name?". "Mowgli Neil Khanna". "Mowgli? What kind of name is that?". Mowgli looked heartbroken while Neil was feeling furious. "It is  cute name that's what is" Avni confirmed as she will  not tolerate anything against her son. Kamna became shocked and gasped "Harleen, did you not teach your daughter in law to not talk back! I have no expectation from Shweta but what about you?".  "She did not say anything wrong" Bebe defended Avni. Kamna just shook her head and took them in the hallway, to sit down in the couch. "Why did you name him Mowgli?" Asked Kamna. Now all eyes were on Avni as the Khanna family was curious too. "Woh Kya hai na, my mother Neela was a huge fan of the movie Jungle Book and she particularly loved the character Mowgli which is why I decided to name him that. It's honour of my Neela Maa" and with that Avni along with the rest of he khanna family was tearing up as the reason behind Mowgli name was beautiful. "Wait a minute, Neela as in Neela Pareikh?" Kamna Asked.  Avni nodded as Neela funeral played in her mind and startead tearing up. Neil rubbed Avni shoulder to comfort her as an assurance that he's there for her.  "Isn't she the one who left her in laws to raise her illegitimate step daughter?". The word illegitimate stung Avni heart as it always did and she slowly nodded as she didn't want to talk about her past as flashes of it came in her mind. " That mean you are Avni Ayesha! The illegitimate daughter of director Ashish Mehta and film actress Ayesha Haider. That's why you reminded me of him. (A/N, I always thought that Avni looked more like her dad than mom but that's me. Comment on who you think she looked more like). "Neil I can't believe you married a illegitimate girl like her. She is the one who broke her fathers marriage and made her step mother take care of her. She is the cause of her parents death. She is considered a sin in society  ". Avni started crying as her moments of Dayawanti Mehta and her parents death came in her mind. She remembered her childhood torture and how everyone she loved died because of her. Her papa, Aladdin, her Aisha Maa and her Neela Maa. She even almost lost Neil because of her enemies. Neil couldn't take it anymore and screamed.  Everyone around her became shocked and furious. Shweta was about to say something but Bebe stopped her as she knew that Neil wanted to deal with Kamna Aunty. To say that he was furious was not the right word for Neil. He was more than that. He was extremely angry as he cannot tolerate a thing against Avni and her character. He knew how much Avni suffered From the society and how she hid her feelings by creating a wall. A wall that took him a long time to break and he knew that if this continues the wall would be built again.  "Bas Kamna Aunty. Not an another word against Avni. You do not know half the things that happened to Avni. Her grandma killed her mother and stole her baby brother at birth. Her grandmother also killed her step mother father and even went to the extent of killing her own son. Avni came back to get her brother back and she found a pile of bones of her father as well.  She was tortured immensely by her grandmother and was jailed by her father who believed that she killed her mother. Her father refused to even acknowledge her. And the worst is when she has to hear words like illegitimate by narrow minded people". With that he turned to face Avni who left. "Oh god, where did ms ajooba go?". He went out the house with his family to look for her. "Arreh, at least stay for dinne" Kamna pleaded. " Yoy really want us to stay? I cannot stay with anyone who insults my daughter in laws and have such a narrow minded mindset", exclaimed Bebe and she then left.

Meanwhile Neil was looking for Avni when he spotted her sitting on the bench. He approached her and saw an appalling sight. Avni eyes were red and puffy and she was crying her heart out. He sat next to her while she just put her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and asked "now will you please stop crying?"

Precap: Neil comforting Avni.
