The next day passed pretty soon with both the families chatting and around 4 pm Avneil were all set to go to London. They packed their bags, but not with dresses, but with lot of sweets and snacks which Shweta and Neela prepared for them to take to Bebe  and headed out of the house when Ashish  asked for a private word with Neil.

"Neil tum ek achhe ladka ho and I trust you. Mere Avni ka khyaal rakhna. I just want cherish the rest of life with her so please take care of her."

"Sir dont worry, I will surely take good care of her. I promise you."

"Neil jaldi aao, nahi tho plane chali jayegi." Shweta shouted and Neil left from there giving an assuring smile to Ashish.

The journey to airport was fully filled with precautions from the elders to take care of themselves, to call everyday and so on.

Finally they reached the airpoet and Avni sighed in relief.  Then after hugging and shaking hands with everyone they enterd inside. After all the formalities were completed they boarded the flight and settled themselves on their cabin. Prakash had booked them a private cabin so that nobody would see them and also to ensure that the Mehta's don't get any doubt.

"First time?" Neil asked.

"Nahi. But the first time I  was in a coma."

Neil just looked at her shocked. It was difficult for him to believe that she was lying lifelss once.

"After I fell down from the cliff, I just lost my consciousness and it was two years later that I gained back my consciousness." Avni explained.

"What did you do after that?" Neil was not able to contain his curiosity at all.

"I continued my studies as I temporarily lost my memory. But when I remembered everything completely Neela Maa asked me to complete my studies first. I obeyed her and after completing my studies we started planning my revenge."

"Then how did you become CASE 123?" Asked Neil.

"Mujhe logon ka help karna tha. Bas isiliye main woh kiya." Nei looked at her confused. "I used to rob from those people only who make money through illegal ways. That was why the bank had filed a case not the businessmen."

"You really are amazing Avni. I had requested to question them, bu they never turned up. But now I know why." He said smilingly to Avni.

"Well Miss Ajooba, care fo become my friend?" He asked cutely holding his hand out for her to shake.

"Of course Mr. Supercop." She replied playfully shaking hands with him.

Neil smiled and withdrawed his hand. He opened a small cupboars nearby and took out a soft drink. "Do you drink?", he asked nodding his head to the bottles kept there.

"No" she replied.

So Neil took out another soft drink and passed it to her.
Neil openesd his one and raised it,
"Lets drink for our friendship" he said clinking his can with Avni's while she giggled.

"You look cute while giggling." He said dreamily admiring her. She was shocked and her cheeks started turning red. To avoid the embarassing situation he said,

"Hmmm, hum movie dekhe?" She nodded her head indivcating a yes.
 

He went towards the TV and switched it on. After searching through a lot of CD's he chose one.

"Student of the year ok with you?" He asked gesturing through his eyes to the CD he was holding.

"Perfect!" She replied showing thumbs up. Neil played the CD  and settled himself on the small two-seater couch in front of the TV. After thinking for 5 seconds Avni too joined him. They adjusted themselves on the couch and started watching the movie. But when the movie had reached it's interval both of them were sleeping cutely. Avni's head was resting on Neil's shouldet and Neil was slepping resting his head on Avni's head.
 

The flight attendant knocked on their door, as she came to serve them dinner. But getting no response she entered inside and saw that both of them were sleeping, looking cute with a pout on their faces and their hair was a mess making them very much cute. She also noticed that the TV  was on. So she silently turned it off, adjusted the temperature and kept their dinner on a small table in front of them and left the cabin, without disturbing them.

It was 7 am, but the sleeping beauties were still not ready to get up. The flight attendant from last night came to their cabin and with a heavy heart, started waking them up. Hearing unfamiliar voice in the background both of them stirred a bit at first, but then snuggled close  to each other.

"Sir ma'am,  we have reached London." She said a bit loudly.

Neil opened his eyes a tiny-weeny bit  but was not able to see anything as Avni was sleeping on his chest snuggling close to him and her hair was covering his face. He gently removed the hair strands and saw the flight attendant. He smiled at her politely while she informed him that they had reached London and the flight would land in 5 minutes. He nodded his head and the attendant left the cubicle closing the door behind him.

Then he turned his eyes towards Avni who was sleeping peacefully. Looking at her made him remember about Ashish's words. He slowly took a picture or two of her in his phone and after keeping it safely in his pockets, proceeded to wake her up.

"Avni.. Avni  uto. We have reached London." But she didn't wake up but snuggled more into his chest. Neil was feeling weird but happy at the same time, but right now his only aim was to wake her up without making her uncomfortable in any form.

"Avnii... utho na please, look we will land in a few minutes. Ghar chalke sote hai na. Please ab utho na...." He mumbled softly. Avni stretched her arms and opened her eyes slowly, but a soon as she opened it it got widened in shock. She was lying on Neil's chest the whole night. She felt embarassed. Sensing the awkwardness, he wished her a good morning. But still she was not out of her shock.

"Aise hi rehne ka irada hai kya?" He asked teasingly.

Avni was finally out of her thoughts and hearing his question became completely red. She mumbled a sorry and quickly got up from him, but she fell back on him as his watch was stuck with her top.  Now she was sitting on his lap and she just turned more red. She tried to pull her top but he caught her wrist and looked into her eyes and said,

"Main nikal deta hu, warna tumhara kapde phat jayenge. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable in front of me." Saying this
he slowly tried to detatch his watch from her top. After successfully detaching his watch he looked at her. When she sensed that he was about to look at her, she immediately shifted her gaze downwards, which was till now on him.

"Avni look at me" he sort of ordered and she, very slowly lifted her gaze up to meet his eyes.

"Avni, listen carefully. I just dont want  you to feel uncomfortable around me. Your dad trusts me a lot and to keep his promise I want you to consider me as your true friend, maybe a best friend. Please don't hesitate to share anything with me. I would never judge you and never question you. And we have reached London.  The flight will land"

He was interrupted by the voice from tne intercom saying that the flight is about to land.

"Come on get up. We have to take our bags and get ready."

And they quickly got up from the couch and straightened themselves.  Soon enough,  the flight landed and they headed out of it. After collecting their luggage, well not theirs but collecting the luggage for Bebe, they arrived outside the airport.

Neil saw Kareena's driver over there. They went to him and after shaking hands with him, Neil asked Avni to get jnside the car. She climbed on to the backseat and Neil followed her.

As he was the master's grandson he was supposed to seat in the backseat. The driver would have felt offended if he sat in the front. Neil explained it to her in hindi amd then they headed towards Bebe's house.
