Turning the alarm off, she lays back on her stomach and hiding her face into pillow tried to sleep again but unfortunately couldn't fall asleep as her phone starts ringing.

She groans in sleep and stretching her hand side of bed finally got hold of phone from the side table. She placed it on her ears without realising that she hasn't answered the call.

In sleepy voice she mutters.

Avni : hello!

She threw her phone back as she heard no response and groaning herself slept again but not before cussing someone for disturbing her sleep.

Her room door opens and Neela entering inside chuckles as she spotted Avni sleeping, duvet scattered on the floor and her legs either popping out.

Neela moving by the windows pulls the curtains apart allowing the sun rise inside and Avni groaning as hits on her face.

Avni : maa please close the curtains. I want to sleep.

Neela giggles and headed to bed sitting beside her. She starts caressing Avni's hair making Avni turn swiftly around and hug Neela by her waist.

Avni : maa, I am sleepy.

Neela : bacha! Get up now. You didn't come Mumbai to sleep.

Avni's eyes widen open as she heard the word Mumbai, she peeps out from Neela waist and looks at Neela.

Avni : oh shit! I forget that we are in Mumbai. So silly of me.

Avni slapping her head and kissing Neela cheek rushed inside the washroom. Neela chuckles and gets down the bed.

Avni coming out of the washroom back hugs Neela and wishes her good morning.

Avni: good morning maa!

She rushed back inside the washroom making Neela chuckle. Neela slaps her head and muttered.

Neela : silly girl!

Neela walks out of the room after making Avni's bed.

Avni comes out of washroom wrapped in bathrobe. She moves to closet and taking a Indian tradition moves back to bed. She kept the dress on bed and opening the bathrobe, she starts getting ready.

Keeping wet towel on couch she moves to dressing table and starts doing her make up. She left hair her open. Applying her lipsticks, she pressed it together and smiles looking herself in the mirror.

She moves to bed and picks her phone up. As she opens the her phone she saw a miscalled from Neil. She slaps her head and dials Neil's number but it went into voicemail. She sighs.

Avni closing the door went downstairs.

( Avni's attire)

As she descends down the stairs she saw everyone gathered up in the living room. She gets down and stands behind Neela wishes everyone good morning.

Avni : good morning everyone.

Everyone greets her back.

Bebe : you look gorgeous Avni beta. Come have a seat here.

Avni smiles and thanking Bebe sat beside her. Prakash looks at Ashish and brought a topic that made Avni shock.

Prakash: Ashish what are you thinking about Avni's marriage?

Ashish looks at Avni then at Prakash.

Ashish: we haven't thought about Avni's marriage yet, we first want to Manik to get married then we will see if Avni wants to settle down in her life.

Prakash nodded his head and starts discussing about business with Ashish while the ladies went to kitchen even Avni follows them.

Swetha and Neela starts preparing for breakfast while Avni helped them. Bebe stood there and chatting with them especially with Avni.

The ladies got breakfast table ready and calls Prakash and Ashish. Everyone sat down and Swetha serving them sat down having her own breakfast.

Avni : wow! This is so yummy.

She said taking bite of poha. Swetha smiles at Avni. Everyone had breakfast. After breakfast Prakash went office with Ashish.

Neela and swetha cleans the dinning table while Bebe holds Avni's hand and asks her to join in her room. Avni smiles and follows Bebe.

Bebe : come, take a seat!

Avni sat down on the bed and looks at Bebe who took a album out moving towards her.

Bebe opens the album and starts showing the photos of Nandini's and Neil's childhood.

Avni giggles and found it too adorable seeing those photos of them.

Bebe : there is some more. Swetha loves capturing their moments.

Bebe flips over the album and showed her more photos of them. Avni burst out of laughing that her stomach starts hurting as she saw Neil dressed up as clown. He looked so funny in that photo.

Avni : Bebe can I have that photo. Please!

Bebe smirks and looks at Avni.

Bebe : why do you need this picture Avni?

Avni hits her head as she realised what she just muttered into of Bebe.

Avni : I mean.. what I want to say is.

Bebe sighs and cuts her off.

Bebe : yes. What do you want to say Avni?

Avni : Bebe! Are you still on that conversation? You won't leave me till I say his name.

Bebe : you got me right Avni. I want to know his name. I won't tell anyone. It will be secret between us. I promise.

Avni : why are you so eager to know his name? What will happen if I don't reveal his name?

Bebe : nothing major happen. If you tell me too late I might won't approve it.

Avni got confused.

Avni : what does that mean Bebe? Do you know who I am seeing?

Bebe : yes I do but I just want to hear from you.

Avni was shocked hearing Bebe, her eyes widen. How can Bebe know when she nor Neil hasn't told the family yet, they also didn't give clue to the family.

Bebe : don't be shock Avni. We can see love language.

Avni : oh Bebe! You win! It's your grandson Neil.

Bebe sequel in happiness and screamed making Avni flinch.

Bebe : I knew it! I knew it! You wouldn't have to Mumbai if you didn't miss him that much.

Avni : wow Bebe! Why are you spying on us?

Bebe chuckles and shuts the album.

Bebe : I am not spying on you both. I just had a feeling and heard Nandini too mistakenly blurting out.

Avni : she can't keep it secret.

Bebe : it's not her fault! Have you spoken to Neil?

Avni : yes bebe! I have.

Bebe nodded her head.

Bebe : it's secret between us. I won't tell anyone till you both reveal to us.

Avni : thank you bebe!

Bebe smiles and keeping the album back in the cupboard comes back to Avni.

Bebe : I am going to temple. Do you want to come along?

Avni : sure Bebe! I will come, let me change.

Bebe : no! This is prefect . You're prettier in this.

Avni smiles and follows Bebe. Bebe informs swetha who also wants them so it become like all the ladies going to temple then roam around the Mumbai city.

Neil sighs as he missed a call from Avni. He was training with his team she called him returning his call from the morning. He keeps his phone side and looks at his team who came and sat beside him.

Neil : why are you guys looking like a creep? Did something happen?

Sanjay : Neil, you won't believe the most shocking news.

Neil rolls his eyes.

Neil : will you expose the most shocking new?

Krishna: yes Sanjay, why won't you say it aloud?

Vicky: why would Sanjay say it? I have discover this most shocking news. Tell me say it.

Neil was done with their banters and looks at vidyut who smiling. He shakes his head and glares Vicky for opening his mouth.

Neil : you better come to the point or I will murder one of you.

Vicky : you can't kill anyone of us because I don't want my Bhabhi to become widow without marrying you or blessing me with junior Neil.

Neil passed a deathly glare to Vicky who shrugged his shoulder and high fives with the rest of boys including vidyut who laughs out hearing Vicky.

Neil getting annoyed by them stand up but was pulled back on the floor by them.

Neil : what the hell is wrong with you?

Sanjay : Neil! Listen to us first!

Neil : what is it? You better speak up.

Vidyut : Boys stop teasing Neil! Just say it out.

Vicky : the most shocking news is that our Neil khanna is whipped by his girlfriend.

He stressed the word girlfriend and Neil's eyes widen hearing them.

Neil : what girlfriend? Who told this?

Vicky : we have eyes and sources too boss.

Neil slaps Vicky' head.

Neil : there is nothing like that. You should be focusing on the training not on me. Why are you keeping eyes on me?

Vicky : we want to know how does it feel if Neil Khanna falls in love with a girl.

Neil : stupid! I really want you punish you.

Vicky : who is stopping you? You can punish me.

Neil : I don't like this innocent of yours.

Vicky : I am innocent child here.

Neil stops throwing a comment as his phone vibrates. He took the phone out and saw Avni calling him. He quickly got up and moves away from the boys.

Neil: hello!

Avni : hello Neil! How are you? Are you free? I am sorry I didn't pick you call up in the morning.

Neil: it's okay! Where are you? There is nosies in the background. Are you out?

Avni : yes! We have come to temple.

Neil : temple with who?

Avni : maa, auntie and Bebe. They are all here. They are buying flowers. I just called you to remind you that we won't be able to talk in the night as we have made some plans.

Neil: wow! This is not fair. You are already ditching me for the ladies. There is no time for me. That's so sad.

Avni : aww! Don't be sad. Neil can I request you something?

Neil: yes! What is it?

Avni : I don't know if this will happen or not but I want to meet you before I go back to duty.

Neil : this won't be possible Avni.

Avni : please! Try! I am in Mumbai. I will be leaving from Mumbai. Please for me.

Neil sighs and thought of something.

Neil : I will see what I can do.

A silence hallowed between them not knowing what to say next. Neil doesn't want to disappoint her while Avni was thinking she is being childish and demanding something that can't happen.

A minute later Neil thought to break the ice between them.

Neil : I will try my best Avni.

Avni : i know Neil. I am sorry for troubling you.

Neil : you're not troubling me Avni. Even I want to see you.

Avni : I should hang up now. They would come looking for me.

Neil : okay! Take care! Bye!

Avni : bye!

Avni ending the call turns back and saw the rest of ladies climbing the stairs with flower plates in their hands.

Bebe gave one plate Avni.

Avni : thank you Bebe.

Bebe smiles and starts going inside the temple. Performing the puja they come out of the temple and thought to what to do.

They had few ideas but swetha wanted to go for shopping and majority of them agreed with swetha so Avni drove to shoppings in Mumbai.
