Neil bring Avni on a beach where several workers were making arrangements for some function.

Avni - Neil, what's going on here ? ( confused ).

Neil - Our wedding arrangements, just the way you wanted since your childhood, a beach wedding. A perfect fairy tale wedding in which you will be draped into a beautiful white gown and your prince charming waiting for you in the wedding alter, dressed up in a black tuxedo, just the way you wanted. ( smiles ).

Avni - ( with tears in her eyes ) Dad told you all this. Right ?

Neil wipes her tears and kisses her forehead.

Neil - Who else will tell me this Avni ? I want to complete all your dreams. I want to form a small happy world along with you. Tomorrow we will start our new life.

Avni hugs him tightly.

Next day

Avni's POV

Life, it's so unpredictable. Sometimes we keep on thinking that we are nothing but unlucky, we don't have any reason to live, we curse our life, we curse ourselves. Slowly slowly we try to accept that our life is meant to be the worse, so we go with the flow but when our life collides with some other world and provokes us to give ourself a chance to think beyond the lines that we have created in our mind, at that time we realise the value of life, we realise how much life means to us. I got my reason in form of my happy and perfect family who shower their unconditional love on me. I have craved for a perfect family since childhood and today when I am having the one, I realised the importance of my life. Neil and Prakash dad gave me new hopes, they both engulfed me in cocoon of their love. The love which I wanted since my childhood. Well, now I am having that. Now I feel complete. I was a broken girl, with shattered hopes, no place to go, I used to lie on those dark roads broken inside. I was suffocated in those four walls but I guess my parents weren't happy with my condition. Well, whose parents will be happy while seeing their one and the only child destructing herself brutally. They both send Prakash dad and Neil in my life as a blessing. They both made me live. They both changed my life.

Prakash dad always gave me fatherly love and advise. He is my backbone who always support me. I love him and I will never led him down.

When I first came into this house, I was in Neil's arms, he carried a broken and drugged Avni in his arms, at that time I wasn't having an idea that one day I will find peace in his arms, we both were unknown to the unusual connection that was building between us. I never knew what love was but he made me fall in love with him and today we both are going to start a new life with each other.

POV ends

Avni saw herself in the mirror as Riya adjusted the translucent veil on her head. She was looking like a doll in  that splendid white gown. Her minimal makeup look was making her look ravishing, the diamond earrings and floral hairband were making her look like a princess. She wore Shweta's watch around her wrist as she wanted to feel connected to  her during this special day of her life.

Riya - I have a doubt.

Avni - Doubt ? What doubt ? Am I not looking good ?

She wanted to look  best today as its the best day of her life and she can't afford any carelessness today.

Riya - How Neil will control himself today ? After looking at you. ( smiles ).

Avni - God !! Riya you scared me. ( sighs ).

Riya chuckles.

Riya - You look amazing Avni. I am really very happy for you as today you are going to start your new life with the love of your life. He will give you all that happiness and love that our family failed to give you.

She was still guilty.

Avni holds her hand gently and smiles.

Avni - We both have seen the worst of Mehta family. You know dad will be very sad if he will see you sad. He will be the happiest when his both daughters will be happy in their life. ( smiles ) Forget the past and move forward.

Riya smiles and hugs her while Avni hugs her back.

Neil's POV

I found her broken and pledged that I will join her broken pieces. She was suffering from the worst phase but I wanted to reform her, reform her for the good but I never knew that she will steal my heart in that reforming process. She is the cutest criminal I have ever seen, who entered my life as a blessing and filled my life with immense happiness. I will always love her no matter what. Avni, what have you done to me ? I.. I...just want to cherish you for my entire life. Today is the day when I can proudly claim you as mine in every sense. You will share my life with me and I just want to dedicate my entire self to you as you will possess every right on me. You are my soulmate and I am yours. I want to enjoy every phase of happiness with you, I want to share your pain with you. Together we will build our own little world full of love and devotion towards each other. I want to live each phase of my life with you, I want to grow old with you, in short I want your company in every moment.

POV ends

Neil looks himself in the mirror as he was dressed in black tuxedo and his evergreen killer smile was making him look more amazing. Prakash keeps his hand on Neil's shoulder, Neil turns back.

Prakash - I am very happy for you. ( smiles )

Neil - Your daughter is in safe hands. ( smiles ).

Prakash smiles.

Prakash - I have no doubt regarding that, I trust my son.

Prakash hugs him

Prakash - Cherish her forever. ( smiles )

Neil - I will.

At beach.

Whole beach area was decorated with fresh, aromatic and colourful flowers and classy decors. The cool breeze blowing on beach and the sound of waves were enough to make wedding area look even more beautiful. A large  stage was decorated for the wedding vows.

Neil and Prakash enters and everyone was greeting them. Neil was looking here and there as if trying to find Avni. He was way much excited to see her in the wedding attire as he already know that she will look beautiful in the gown that he selected for her.

Prakash - Control tillu, control. She will come.

Neil - Comeon dad, Why is she taking so long to get ready ? She is already so beautiful, she don't need any makeup and all. Let me call Riya and ask her when they will come.

Prakash stops him.

Prakash - Have patience tillu. You won't call her. Let her take some time after all it's her marriage as well.

Neil - I can't wait to see her. How beautiful she will look dad.

Prakash -  You know what tillu, I will cancel your honeymoon package that I booked for you both if you will call Riya.

Neil - No dad, you can't do this with me. ( pouts ).

Prakash - Then have some patience.

Neil pouts while Prakash chuckles.

After sometime, Avni enters the venue and Neil was flabbergasted.

She was looking breathtaking in that white gown and minimal makeup look. Her colourful bridal bouquet symbolise the colours that Neil filled in her life. Neil smiles after seeing her in the most beautiful look.

Avni smiled after seeing Neil waiting for her impatiently. He was looking hot in that black tuxedo.

Avni started walking towards the stage while Neil was admiring her, making her blush occassionally.

( some of their moments given in bold and italics. Hope that you guys remember these memories.)

Both were thinking of the beautiful time they spend with each other.

Neil - Just do as I say, first close your eyes.

She close her eyes.

Neil - Now breathe in.

She did  as he said.

Neil - Now breathe out.

She breathe out.

Neil - Now repeat this for some more minutes.

She did and felt relax. She opens her eyes and found him holding her hand.

Avni - Will you be my friend ? ( She asks politely)

Neil - No.

Neil - I will be your best friend. ( smiles ).

Neil - Besties forever. ( smiles )

Avni - pi....pic.....pic....ture.....

Neil - Good girl.

Avni - If you are saying then I will definitely make a perfect painting because you can't say anything wrong. ( She says innocently ).

Neil was having tears in his eyes after listening her words. He have earned her trust within two days, he was the happiest person at this moment. He composed himself and cupped her face.

Neil - Thank you Avni.

Avni - Why thank you ? I should thank you for coming into my life. ( innocently ).

Avni giggles and gives the painting to Neil.

Avni - ( while crying ) Neil is important .... Not drugs ....

Neil eyes welled up with tears after listening her. He breaks the hug and cups her face. They both were lying on the bed..

Neil - When you smile you look an adorable munchkin so please give me my adorable munchkin. ( He pleaded with puppy dog eyes. )

Avni smiles and Neil clicks her photograph. Then showed it to her.

Neil - See how cute you look. ( smiles ).

♡♡♡♡♡♡

Neil - ( still hugging) Avni if you will break like this then your parents will also feel sad. So stop crying and be a good girl.

Avni breaks the hug.

Avni - ( in tears ) I have already failed them, Neil. They would be regretting for having a daughter like me.

Neil - shhhh!! ( places his finger on her lips as he was very sad after listening to her words and don't want to listen anything against her.)

Neil - They will be feeling blessed for having a daughter like you Avni. They have proud on you. You know why? ( He says softly.)

Avni nods negatively.

Neil - Because you are improving your mistakes and they both will help you with that.

Avni - I will become their good daughter... ( She says innocently.)

Neil - You already are. In fact, you are their best daughter.

♡♡♡♡♡

Avni - No packet can compete with the love and care you both have showered on me. I want to be with you both. You both are more important to me. I don't want these addictions any more, I only want healthy relations with you both. ( She says with teary eyes.) Neil I can fight against this powdered substance which controlled my brain for long time because you made me learn that a strong brain can overcome every addiction and for you and dad I can overcome this addiction very easily. ( tears were flowing down from her eyes.)

♡♡♡♡♡

Avni - Are words important ?

Neil - Feelings speak louder than  words.

♡♡♡♡♡♡

Neil - What is love Avni ?

Avni - You

Neil - Why are you so cute ? ( He says while pulling her cheeks making her giggle.)

Avni - I guess in your vision I am very cute.

Neil - In my vision you are the best girl I have met in my entire life.

♡♡♡♡♡

Avni - ( breathing heavily ) No one was that much gentle with me.

Neil - Cos no one is blessed enough to have a gemstone like you in his life other than me.

♡♡♡♡♡♡

Avni - Please be with me Neil. ( innocently ). I am used to be in your arms.

Neil - It's obvious sweetheart. Afterall people will know me through your name. They will say, Hi Mr. Neil Khanna, your wife Mrs. Avni Khanna no no Mrs. Avni Neil Khanna is an amazing artist. I will give you special protection as well so that none of your male fan would be able to come closer to you. ( excitedly ).

Neil holds Avni's hand and brings her on the stage. Their wedding vows started.

Neil - I Neil Khanna take you Avni to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

He says all these lines while looking in her eyes while tears were brimming from her eyes.

Avni - I Avni Mehta take you Neil to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

The crowd applauded after their marriage vows.

Prakash and Riya forwards the rings to them.

Neil made her wear the ring and plants a soft kiss on her hand, Avni also made him wear ring and they were announced as husband and wife. Avni hugged him tightly while he kissed her hairs. They break the hug and Neil removes her veil from her face and kisses her forehead affectionately.

Neil - Ready for starting our new life wifey.

Avni - I am ready.

With that they both hugged each other and everyone present there was cheering for them.

Their journey begins.
