In London at khanna house!

A lady is walking backward and forward while being worried.... she stopped at and looked at her husband who was busy working on his laptop.. she sighed and walked to him....

She sat beside him and called his name..

Lady : Ashish see children are not back home yet!

Ashish stopped working and took glance of his wife who still looked worried... he took his spectacular off and kept it on the laptop..

Ashish: Neela stop worrying.. Manik said he will drop avni home.. trust Manik.. he will come with her...

Neela : I'm still sacred.. there is no phone call from they saying that they will be late.. I'm worried Ashish.. call Manik!

Ashish : wait I'll call Manik! You stop being worry..

Neela nods but still she was worried for them.. it was 9pm they are not even here or informed them...

( Neela khanna: Avni's Mother... shares special bond with Nandini and Manik.. she is plays important role in MaNan's life... loves her children equally.. which includes avni, Nandini Manik and abhi)

( Ashish khanna: Avni's father.. known as second biggest business man after Manik's... loves his both princess which is avni and Nandini.. Manik and abhi is like his own sons)

Ashish picked his phone and dialled Manik's number when door bell rang.. Ashish cuts the call and looked at Neela who rushed to door...

Neela opened the door and saw them.. tears brimmed in her eyes seeing them safe.. she pulled avni in hug followed by Nandini...

Neela: what made you all late? I got worried so much..

She broke hug and looked at them.

Avni : maa actually after shopping we went back to malthora house.. over there we watched movie and didn't realise when time passed.. sorry maa..

She held her ears making Neela smile in tears..

Neela : next time this happen call us..

Avni nods.. Neela saw Nandini standing there with smile on her face...

Neela opened her arms.. Nandini smiled and crashed into her arms and sobbed little bit.. Neela caressed her hair..

Neela : I missed you so much.. did you miss!

Neela broke hug and wiped her tears...

Nandini: maa I missed you so much...

Neela : I can see how much you missed me? By the way where is your stupid boyfriend?

Nandini was about reply but stopped hearing voice from behind..

" here i am Neela maa"!

They all looked at door and saw Manik coming in with raj and abhi.. Manik came inside and took blessing from Neela and Ashish... Manik then hugged Neela..

Manik : I missed you maa!

Neela didn't say anything but made angry pout hearing Manik..

Ashish: Neela let them come inside first..

All got settled in hall.. Manik was sitting next Neela with his head in her lap.. Neela was caressing his hair.. she was still angry on him for not meeting him but couldn't stop pampering him.. she loves when he lies in her lap while she caressed his hair..

While Nandini was sitting beside raj keeping her head on raj shoulder.. raj was caressing Nandini hair..

Manik : maa!

Neela : hmm!

Manik : can I talk to you in personal...

Neela looked at avni then Nandini..

Neela : come!

Manik moved his head and stood up.. Neela followed Manik..

While downstairs...

Avni : papa... I want to say something...

Ashish : princess even I and your maa wants to say something... let her come then we will speak.. okay!

Avni nods and looked at abhi who looked worried too..

Soon Manik came down with Neela...

Neela : Ashish before talking to avni let's have dinner..

Ashish : yes.. come children let's go.. raj come..

All moved to dinning table and took their seat.. Neela starts serving everyone.. Nandini was going to help Neela but Neela didn't allow her..

Neela: abhi!

Abhi : yes aunty....

He was nervous that didn't realise what he said..

Neela : do I look old to you... Abhi how many time I need to tell you are like my son.. there is no difference between you or Manik...

Abhi : sorry aunty.... I mean... maa...

Neela smiled and looked at Manik who nodded in his head..

Neela : abhi why aren't you eating? Didn't you like the food.. shall I make something else for you..

Abhi: no maa.. I'm eating..

Abhi gave her smile.... Manik smirked seeing Abhi nervous face.. Neela too smiled seeing Manik...

After dinner everyone sat in hall and waited for Ashish to speak first...

Avni being impatient asked her father the matter..

Avni : papa what's the matter? I mean is there something you need to tell me?

Ashish looked at Neela who nodded..

Ashish : yes princess.. before that can I ask something from you!

Avni : why you asking like this papa? It's all your right to ask me whatever you want!

Ashish smiled hearing his daughter while Nandini, raj and Abhi thinking what could be the matter... Nandini lifted her head up and saw her mani chilled out.. she didn't take a second to know he is also involved in this..

She nudged Manik's shoulder.. Manik who was chilled out about the conversation going on.. he looked at his Jaan who nudged him...

As manan were sitting beside each other.. it was easy for them to communicate.. Manik bend to Nandini's ear and whispered..

Manik: what happened Jaan?

Nandini too whispered him back.

Nandini: mani, do you know what Neela maa and Ashish papa is going to talk about?

Manik looked at her smiling and nods...

Nandini: Mani.. what is it? Tell me!

Manik : Jaan shsss... wait for it!

Nandini made face hearing him.. she pleaded him but Manik was Manik... he didn't listen her to plead and looked at front...

Nandini( mind) mani is up to something..this boy never listen to me... ayiappa!

She looked at Manik who was smiling at Neela... she Knew something cooking between mother and son...

Ashish : princess I want to know... is there anyone who you love?... I mean do you have someone in your life!

Avni got shocked hearing Ashish and looked Abhi who looked down immediately.. she felt bad...

Avni : papa...

Ashish : yes or no...

Avni : yes!

Neela : who is the boy? Do we know him?

Avni looked at Manik for help who nodded his head..

Manik : maa....

Neela : Manik no... don't defend her... she was in relationship with someone and didn't brother telling us.. do we have any right to know about him or not.. avni I didn't expect this for you... Ashish what will happen now?

Ashish : princess come here!

Avni again looked at Manik who nodded her to go.. she got up and moved to Ashish.. she sat next to him...

Avni : papa... I'm sorry....

Ashish : what does boy do? What is his name?

Avni : woh.....

She was scared what if her parents doesn't accept Abhi.. though she knows her parents loves Abhi as their son but will they agree for their relationship.. she was really scared.. she looked at Abhi first then her parents.....

Avni : papa... woh....

She stopped as she felt someone placing hand on hers.. she lifts her head up and saw abhi sitting on his knees and looking at her... both looked at each other when they heard clearing throat... both looked away and looked Ashish and Neela who was watching them..

Ashish and Neela stared at abhvi entwined hands.. they both looked at each then back their hands...

Ashish : princess care to explain this...

He said glaring their entwined hands... avni tried pulling her hand back but abhi stopped her... he held it tightly..

Abhi : can I say something...

Neela : you can...

Abhi looked at avni and assured her that he will handle it...

Abhi : I don't want to drag it too much... only I want to say is I love you Avni ... even Avni loves me...

As he finished he saw their mouth shock.. he knew this would happen. He looked down..

Ashish : when did this happen? Why you both hid this from us?

Abhvi looked at Ashish and Neela...

Avni : papa.... I'm sorry....

Neela : abhi when did you plan to tell us? Do you even realise we fixed Avni's marriage somewhere else...

This was shock for everyone except one who was giggling..... abhvi looked at each other....

Avni : maa... papa....

She was shocked to hear her parents already fixed her marriage with someone else.. how can she marry someone else when she loves abhi...

Neela : avni you confessed too late.. we have gave them word .. you have to leave abhi and the boy who we selected...

This was another heart break the couple... tears formed in their eyes... both stared each other in pain... Manik saw his sister tears... there is two things he can't bear.. one is his Jaan crying.. and other one his sister tears.. Manik got up and kneeled front of avni...

Manik: baby!

As Manik called Avni's name.. she looked at him for second.. she immediately left abhi hand and hugged Manik.. she cried hugging him...

Avni : Bhai.... you... said.. you.. will talk.. to them.... Bhai.. tell.. them.. i can't... leave.. abhi... Bhai....

Manik heart broke seeing her sobs.. he could feel his neck getting wet due to her cries.... he rubbed her back..

Manik : baby stop crying... i said na I short it.. then why you crying... I will talk to them... bacha stop crying... Please for me.. stop crying...

Manik broke hug and wiped her tears..

Manik : don't cry.. I'm here.. I'll solve it.. you will only marry abhi..

Manik pulled her in side hug.. abhi looked at Manik who assured him too... abhi was relaxed now but still scared thinking what will happen... will Avni's parents agree for their relationship or not..

Manik looked at Neela and Ashish...

Manik : maa.. papa! Please listen to me...

Neela : Manik... not today... avni has to forget Abhi and marry the boy we chose for her...

Manik : maa please.. stop this drama... see avni is crying...

Neela and Ashish looked at Manik then avni who was sobbing in Manik's arms...

Ashish : princess...

Avni peeped from Manik's Arm and looked at her father...

Ashish : won't you ask the boy name?

He said while smiling at avni... abhvi frowned thinking who could it be...

Avni : w...ho.....

Ashish stood up and held abhi and Avni's hand... he kept their hand in his.. abhvi looked at Ashish...

Ashish : what you both thought I won't get to know about you both... you both hid it from us so we thought why not trick you both... we both know how much you both love each other.. I'm not that bad father will separate lovers from each other... and you know why.... because true lovers were sitting front of us...

He said looking at manan... manan smiled at him... Manik was side hugging Nandini and she was smiling... one person was very happy that was none than raj... he was admiring them....

Neela came forehead and Hugged abhvi...

Neela : next time don't hide anything from us... you can share all your problems with us... okay...

abhvi nods making Neela smile...

Manik : Neela maa don't you think your son-in- law is scared...

Abhi snapped his head to Manik who was smirking...

Abhi : don't tell me you did this... did you...

Manik : off course.. who else could do it? But I didn't tell them about you both being in relation... they knew before that... I'm sorry baby.. I made you cry...

Avni : no Bhai.. it's not your fault.. I'm not upset with you...

Manik smiled and kissed her forehead...

Raj : so no marriage of avni...

Neela : no!

All smiled and sat down... Nandini looked at Manik who was talking to Neela..

Nandini: mani!

Manik stopped talking to Neela and looked at Nandini..

Manik : yes Jaan!

Nandini: can we go home... I'm really tried...

Manik: feeling sleepy!

Nandini nods... Manik pulled her in side hug...

Manik : we will leave soon! Till sleep on my shoulder...

Nandini nods.. she was feeling sleepy due to tiredness... she kept her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes... Manik smiled and kissed her head.. Neela was smiling at them.. she blessed them silently...

Neela : Manik take Nandini upstairs.. she looks tried....
