Downstairs Shweta and Prakash were explaining to Dwm about AvNeil.

Shweta: Woh Anu beti hamari ek frnd ki beti hai. Bohot hi smart hai woh. Bachpan mein Neil Ka best frnd tha. Hanesha saath tha. Ek hi school gaya dono. Ek din uska dad ko transfer mila aur woh chali gayi. Uske baad koi khabar hi nahi mila uski.

Prakash: Neil ne pehle hi uska shaq bata diya tha. Lekin hum maan nahi rahe the. Jis Av... Ananya ko hum jaante the woh bohot hi chirpy tha. Bohot badal gayi hai woh ab.

Dwm:(a bit doubtfully) "Neil use Avi kyun bulate he?

Shweta and Prakash were a bit tensed.

"Kyunki use Ananya naam pasand nahi hai. Isliye uske initials use karte hai mai. Ananya's A and Verna's V. " Said Neil who was coming downstairs holding Avni's suitcase. Avni was behind him.

When they reached downstairs, Dwm asked Avni
"Tum inke saath Hain rahi hi"

Avni just nodded her head in response.

"Avi tum itna descent kab hua. Mera to Jaan baj rahe the had din jab mein tumhare saath this. Ab kya hua?

Avni hit him lightly in his shoulder and said " Lekin Neilu tum to badla hi nahi. Abhi bhi bahut shararati hai."

"Anu, yum mujhe bhul gaya. Am sorry mein tumhe bohot kuch bola. Maaf karde tumhare iss idiot maa ko."

"Shweta maa, maaf tho mai tab hi karungi jab aap mujhe aapki specially made cupcakes donge. Aur iss Neilu ki ek bhi cupcake Nahi denge aap"

"Done. I'm ready."

"Aur mera kya?" asked Prakash from behind.

" Aapse tho mai kabhi bhi naaraz hi nahi tha."said Avni hugging him." I missed you so much."

"That's not fair Avi. Tumne mujhe hug nahi Kiya. I am your best friend"

"Its because I never missed you" Avni stuck out her tongue at him.

"Avi chalo hum ghar chalte hai."

"Haa"

"Tum dad ke saath ghar jao. Shaam ko hum ice cream khane ke liye jayenge. Be ready ok. Mein ab police station ja raha hu. Take care. Bye." Saying this he kissed her cheeks and left the Mehta Mansion.

Riya who was seeing this fumed in anger." Kal maine shopping ke liye bulaya tha tho kaha ki urgent meeting tha. Par ab dekho 'chalo na Avi hum ice cream khana chalte hai'." She dramatically said to herself and stomped off angrily towards her room.

"Dadi aaj raat mujhe Delhi jaana hai. Kuch imp kaam hair. Main shaadi postpone kar raha hun. Next month hi wapis aaunga. Hope you are ok with it."

"Beta dekho shaadi postpone karna acchan baat "

She was not able to complete her sentence.

"Bebe aa rahi next week. Woh bhi Shaadi attend Kar payenga."

"Hmm okay."

Neil went out dragging Avni with him.
"Chamko cafe chalte hai. Baad mein office jaaunga." He said it loudly so that Dwm could hear him.

"Dayawanti ji, humara company ab thodi si problem me hai. Next month hi hum deal sign kar sakthe hai. Anu beti aayi hai ab. Woh hi sab sambhal lenge."

"Woh kaise"

"Bachpan see hi mera help kar raha tha woh. Business degree bhi ki hai usne. Hum nikalthi hai. Use lene aya tha"

"Ji."

Dwm was not able to say y anything because she didn't want to anger the Khannas.
