Next morning, Avni snoozing the alarm sat up and hugging herself remembered how she behaved with Neil last night.

Guilt kicks as she recalled how she talked with everyone especially Neil who is her boyfriend and best friend.

She ties her hair in bun and getting down bed went up washroom.

She took brush and toothpaste, she glanced herself in the mirror and looked so miserable. Tears dried off and her cheeks and face looked puffed and red due to crying whole night.

She sighs and gathering some courage and wanting to be strong for herself and Neil quickly splashed some cold water over faces and doing her business walks into shower.

She got undressed and took shower relaxing her body and mind. She felt much better.

Avni wraps a towel around and walks out of the room. She stops walking as she spotted Neil in the room.

If it was another day Avni would have ran back in the washroom and hid herself but today she stares him and sadly smiles as she approached towards him.

Neil who walked into Avni's room not knowing she would be woken up by now enters and found her nowhere in the room. His glanced fell on the washroom and seeing the lights on he knew she would be there.

Neil thought to go back into his room but something stopped him back, he stayed back in the room and was thinking about yesterday's night when the washroom door clicks opens.

He snaps his head and looks at Avni who comes out of washroom in towel. His eyes widen seeing her like that.

Neil opens his mouth to say something but stopped as he felt some weight on himself.

He got surprised as Avni crashed into his chest and starts sobbing.

He very well knows his love, she is feeling guilty from yesterday night.

Neil rubs her hair and pecks numerous of times.

Neil broke the hug and cupping her face wipes her tears off with his thumb then placed a soft kiss on both of her cheeks.

Neil : why are you crying love? Have I ever made you feel low?

Avni : i am sorry Neil. I shouldn't have behaved with you like that. I just didn't knew what happened with me. I was worrying about something  and took someone's anger on you. I am really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Forgive me Neil.

Neil sighs and wisps her tears that was about fall.

Neil : I am not angry with you love, you don't have to feel guilty about anything. All I want you is to trust me and share your problems with me. I won't force you but once you feel comfortable sharing then please share it. I can't see you like this. It hurts seeing you hurt.

Avni : I will share with you Neil. I need some time.

Neil : take your time much as you want love. Remember you will always find me next you in every situations. You know what you are to me. You are my precious and most desirable person. I can't let anyone harm you.

Avni felt blessed and content having Neil in her life. Her life wouldn't have been better if she didn't meet Neil.

Avni smiles and nodded her head making him smile too.

He pats her head and asks her to get ready. Avni immediately blushed and looked down as she realised in what state she was standing front of Neil.

Neil smirks and chuckles seeing her blush but didn't tease her.

Neil : go and get ready. I will be waiting for you to join us at the breakfast table.

Avni giving a nod rushed back in the washroom as expected, Neil chuckles and walked out of the room.

Neil shoving his phone back in his pockets smiles looking at Bebe who smiles back at him.

Neil side hugs Bebe and kissed her cheek.

Neil : good morning Bebe. Has everyone woken up?

Bebe : good morning Neil, yes everyone is up. Swetha is in kitchen with rani. Prakash is getting ready for office. Where is Avni?

Neil : oh! She is coming down soon.

Neil sat next to Bebe taking the remote and flipping some channels on the tv.

Neil snaps his head as he heard soft and sweet voice that belongs to his love. He smiles as he noticed her smiling at Bebe.

Avni : good morning Bebe!

Bebe : good morning Avni beta. Did you sleep well?

Avni : yes I did Bebe. I will go and help mom in kitchen.

Bebe nodded her head and Avni passing a smile to Neil walks towards to kitchen.

She smiles looking at swetha who is in kitchen with Rani who laughed out as swetha said something funny.

Avni frowns seeing rani in the kitchen. She didn't thought she would find her in the mansion.

Avni clears her throat gaining their attentions. They both turns their head at Avni and smiles.

Swetha : good morning Avni! Come inside, why are you standing there?

Avni : good morning mom.

She comes inside the kitchen and stood next to rani who smiles at her.

Rani : good morning Bhabhi.

Avni eyes widen hearing rani's words. Her mouth widen open and gaped looking at rani who smirked seeing Avni's expressions.

Avni : Bhabhi? What? How?

Rani : yes Bhabhi! Because you are my Bhabhi since Neil is my cousin brother.

Avni felt like banging her head against a wall. She starts cursing herself in her mind and gave nervous smile to Rani thinking how she felt jealous seeing her with Neil yesterday night.

Avni : hello Rani. I didn't recognise you. You work in our college.

Rani : yes I do! I work there. You may have not seen me around there past few months because I was out of country due to some training.

Avni nodded her head and it did make sense why she didn't knew about Neil cousin or seeing Rani in the college.

Avni : mom, what are you making?

Swetha : poha! Hungry?

Avni : yes. Can I please have it?

Swetha smiles and asks Avni to call others for breakfast.

Avni calling others for breakfast sat on her chair and smiles seeing Prakash who pats her head and wishing her morning sat on his chair.

Prakash: good morning princess.

Avni : good morning dad.

Swetha and Rani brings the food out and serves everyone. Everyone had their breakfast.

Neil : shall I drop you to college love?

Avni : no, it's okay Neil. I will take cab.

Neil : it won't happen. I will drop you first then go to office. Bring you bag then we will leave.

Avni nodding her head headed back in her room to grab her bag.

Neil took his phone out and dialled a number.

Neil : Hello! Yes I will be there soon. Yeah bye.

Neil ends the call and looks up as he heads footsteps. He smiles as he saw his love looking cute and adorable.

Neil: shall we leave now?

Avni looks up and nodding her head bidding bye to rest follows Neil.

They both settled in a car and Neil drove the car. He turns the music and lip syncing.

Avni rolls the window ana allowing breeze touch her skin. Her hair flew as the air blows inside the car.

Neil smiles seeing her like this. Neil time to time didn't fail to capture her smile that adores since morning.

Neil promised himself not letting the smile of Avni's to fade away. He promised to protect and love her always.

Neil stops few miles away from college as they didn't want anyone to find about their relationship yet. Neil looks at Avni who looked zoned about.

He clicks his finger at her face but she didn't flinch.

He sighs and flicks a finger on her nose making her come back out of the thoughts she was wondering.

Neil : what are you thinking love?

Avni : nothing at all. Why did you stop the car here?

Neil : we have arrived at our spot love. I could have dropped by the entrance of college but we don't want anyone to find out about us. Do we?

Avni : absolutely no!  I will leave now. You will come later. Right!

Neil : yes! I will be back for my class. I will seen you in class love.

Neil cupping her face kissed her forehead then also quickly pecked her  lips and moves back on his seat.

Avni smiles and looking there saying bye to Neil opens the door and comes out.

She waves her hand at Neil and turning her heels walked to college.

Neil watched her going away till she was out of his sight. Neil chuckles and ruffling his hair drove back to khanna industrial.

He wasn't supposed to go office today but due to some urgent meeting he had to cancel his few classes in morning and attend the meeting.

Neil parking the car gets out and fixing his blazer walked inside the office.

He greets the employers and smiles at the receptionist.

Receptionist: good morning sir!

Neil : good morning. Is meeting room ready?

Receptionist: yes sir. What time are you expecting clients to come?

Neil : they will come in an hour. Escort them to meeting room. I will be waiting for them or give me call.

The receptionist nodded her head and got busy typing what she was doing before she greeted Neil.

Neil walks into his cabin and found his secretary there arranging some files.

He pulls the chair and sat down and asked for his schedule to his secretary.

An hour later Neil got busy with the meeting not being aware what was happening in college in his absence.
