By the time Neil came out, he didn't find Avni anywhere. Assuming she might be waiting outside, he went out but still couldn't find her. He asked their bodyguards, and one of them informed him that Avni had gone to the backyard where a party was happening.

Neil felt confused. Until now, she seemed fine, and he wondered why she left without telling him. He went to the resort's backyard, connected to the beach, where a lively party was taking place. Men and women were getting drunk, dancing, singing, and enjoying the festivities.

He searched for Avni and found her with Ananth laughing and talking to him. 

Neil, angered by the sight of Avni closely with Ananth, went close to them and called her, but she ignored him. Neil felt confused about her actions. He then held her hand and turned her towards him.

Avni protested: Leave me, Neil.

Even though everyone around them acted like they didn't care, all attention was on the beloved Prime Minister and his wife.

Neil : Don't make a scene here. Come with me.

Avni looked around and sensed that everyone was interested in their situation. Silently, she went with Neil aside.

They moved to a secluded place, and Avni removed her hand from Neil's hold.

Neil : What happened to you, Avni? I asked you to wait for me, right? He sounded serious and angry.

Avni : But I don't want to, Neil. I don't want to wait for you and come with you anywhere. 

Neil didn't know what to say. She had agreed earlier, and now something had changed.

Trying to control himself, Neil attempted to cup her cheeks, but she pushed away his hands, making him angry. He then held her arms and twisted them back, bringing her chest against his front, causing her to wince in pain.

Neil : I don't at all understand you. Where do you get these mood swings from, Avni? Earlier, you agreed, and now what happened in just a few minutes that you're hating to come with me?

Avni (firmly) : I don't want to answer you, Neil. It's my wish if I want to come with you or not. You cannot manhandle me.

Neil released her and asked : What happened, Avni? Did I do something wrong? You were fine just now. What happened?

Avni, with frustration in her voice : Why are you acting innocent, Neil? You very well know why I am being like this. How many more times will you do this to me? How many times will you break my heart?

Neil, puzzled : What are you saying, Avni?

Avni : Don't act innocent, Neil, and don't ever come near me. I hate you. 

She cried and left the place, leaving Neil in shock, not understanding the reason for her anger.

Coming out of his thoughts, Neil tried to pacify Avni and approached her. He didn't know the reason behind her upset state, but he realized that he unintentionally did something wrong. He wanted to comfort her, take her in his arms, and calmly ask her the reason.

As he went near her, she tripped and fell. Neil immediately bent down to pick her up when a bullet crossed over their heads and hit the mirror behind them. Panic ensued, with everyone shouting and running in different directions. Neil, acting swiftly, held Avni in his arms.

His bodyguards and security quickly surrounded them, forming a protective shield. In the midst of the chaos, Avni snapped out of shock. She was shivering, tightly holding onto Neil for support

Holding the shivering Avni in his arms, Neil consoled her with sweet words. The incident had left him shaken. He hadn't known the fear of death before, and he didn't want to become its victim. Neil held onto Avni tightly, not willing to let her go. The thought of what could have happened if they hadn't bent down sent shivers down his spine.

He calmly rubbed Avni's back, sensing her shivering. In that moment, he realized he couldn't lose her at any cost. The incident made him acknowledge that she wasn't just his wife but everything to him. She was his first priority and the most important person in his life. Not just because she was his wife, but because his everything depended on her – his life, his breath, his soul. Neil realized he was deeply in love with her.

The police managed to catch the shooters, encountering them on the spot. They meticulously checked every corner to ensure there was no one else left. After confirming the safety of Neil and Avni, they were escorted back to the resort with an abundance of security around them to ensure their safety.

Throughout the time, Neil and Avni didn't leave each other's side. Upon reaching the lobby, they weren't directed to their room; instead, they were ushered back to a secure location to ensure their immediate safety.

Chief Security Officer : Sir, sorry for this mishap, but you have to stay for a few more minutes here. Once the chopper is here, we will escort you after thoroughly checking it.

Neil (angry): What the hell just happened out there? This is supposed to be a secure place!

Security Officer: Sir, we apologize for the lapse. It's an unforeseen situation.

Neil (shouting): Unforeseen? My wife and I were almost shot! What kind of security is this?

Security Officer: We understand, sir. We are investigating the incident, and we'll take measures to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Neil (furiously): Investigating? I want answers now! How did someone get so close to us with a gun?

Security Officer: We are reviewing our protocols, sir. We'll do everything to fix this and protect you.

Neil (angrily): You better make sure this never happens again! My wife's safety is non-negotiable!

Security Officer: We assure you, sir, we'll enhance our security measures to prevent any future threats.

Amidst the chaos, Neil didn't let go of Avni. He held her tightly, providing a sense of security. The bodyguards surrounded them, forming a protective shield.

Neil, wanting to reassure Avni, gently cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead. In a soft voice.

Neil : Avni, we are safe. Look at me.

Avni, slowly turning her gaze towards him, hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face. She confessed,

Avni:  what if something happened to you? how would i be ? I cannot be alive if something happens to you, Neil. You are like my oxygen. I love you, Neil. I cannot lose you.

Neil, with tears in his eyes, was overwhelmed with happiness. He knew that Avni couldn't unlove him. Bringing her slightly back, he cupped her cheeks, looked into her eyes, and said

Neil:  Nothing happened to me , see love (Making Avni look into his eyes when she closes her eyes) I love you, Avni. You are my everything. My heart is shattering at the thought of not being around you. You are my soul, and without you, I am nothing. Even I don't want to lose you. I love you, Avni.

He confessed his love with tears in his eyes, surrounded by around a hundred security guards, leaving Avni shocked.

After the heartfelt confession, Neil continued to shower Avni with kisses on her forehead, not paying attention to the security guards witnessing their intimate moments. Avni, still in shock, gazed at him with a mix of emotions.

A security officer approached them, guiding them towards the chopper and ensuring all necessary arrangements were in place for their safety.
