Next morning, In khanna mansion.

Neil's sleep were disturbed by the phone ring. He rubbing his eyes opens the eyes and groaned as the phone continuously rang. Neil lightly sitting up with his head resting to headboard picks the phone up and saw the caller Id.

He picks the call up while rubbing his nape.

Neil : hello, yes I can stop there.. 12. Yeah, that would be great. Yeah, sure. Bye.

Neil ends the call and closed his eyes again to sleep but couldn't because his phone rang again.

Neil swiping the green button picks the call up.

Neil : hello cabir. How come you are up this early?

Cabir : hello Neil. What does that mean? Can I not be up this early?

Neil : no! Why did you call me?

Cabir : I need your help Neil. Would you help me?

Neil : what will I get if I will help you out?

Cabir : greedy is not so good Neil.

Neil rolls his eyes and snaps his head towards washroom as he heard the door opens. He stares his wife with his mouth and eyes wildly open. He was shocked seeing his wifey just wrapped in a towel.

He gulping his saliva down before cutting the call and jumping out of the bed.

Neil stood behind avni who wasn't aware of his presence as she was busy drying wet hair with another towel.

Avni got startled when she felt his cold hands around her waist. She tilts her head up and saw Neil.

Avni : Neil what are you doing?

Neil : what can you see Jaan?

Avni slapping his hands pushed away and glares him.

Neil : what was that for?

Avni : stop being stupid and fresh up.

Neil : at least give me morning kiss..

Avni : no! Go and fresh up.

Neil shaking his head and stomping his foot on the ground went to washroom.

Avni also shaking her head at her desperate husband moves to closet.

She starts getting ready. Once she was ready she took her phone and saw message from Nandini. She replied to Nandini and walks out of the room not before taking Neil's clothes out and leaving out on the bed.

Avni smiles as she saw Bebe heading go puja room. Avni too follows bebe and sat in the room helping Bebe out.

Bebe and avni after praying moves to kitchen to see swetha cooking breakfast. They both starts helping swetha out.

Neil after showering comes out of the washroom. He frowns not seeing avni in the room.

Neil smiles as he noticed his clothes on the bed. He moves to bed and starts putting his clothes on.

Neil shoving his phone in his pocket walks out of the room. He greets Prakash and sat next to him grabbing the tv remote.

He shuffles around channel till he heard avni calling both of them for breakfast.

Prakash and Neil moves to dinning table and took their seats. Avni and swetha starts bringing the food out and keeping on the table. Neil greets swetha and Bebe good morning with smile.

Avni severing Neil sat beside him. They all starts having the breakfast.

The breakfast was smooth and calm for them. Post breakfast Neil moves back to his room to get something. Neil grabbing the files went down to see everyone sitting in hall expect Prakash which assumed he has already left for the office.

Neil calls Avni's name out making avni look at him.

Neil : shall I drop you to office?

Avni : no! Today everyone is given day off including me. So I will stay home.

Neil nodding his head and kissing Avni's forehead left the mansion.

As Neil's car zoomed out of the mansion a person comes out and taking phone out dials a number.

Person :hello sir.. he left the mansion..

Caller : was avni with him?

Person : no sir! He went alone today.. avni is still in the mansion.

Caller : good.. follow Mr khanna and give all the information about him.

Person : okay sir!

The person ending the call sat in the car and turning the location on starts following Neil's car which didn't went too far.

While other hand the boss ending the call with his men looks at his other men who was there.

Boss : I have giving till tomorrow to execute the plan.. I want a news flooding in the media by tomorrow. Is that clear.

All the men's nodded and left the place meanwhile the boss lighting the cigarette starts smoking while starting AvNeil's photo.

Boss : the day isn't far away avni will be beside me not you Neil khanna.

The boss smirks.

Neil moving to his cabin calls Prakash pa who was also handing Neil's work too. Neil opening the laptop starts making the presentation till he was disturbed by a knock.

He shouts come in and sees Prakash pa.

Pa: Neil sir you called me?

Neil : yes.. I want to know about foreign client project progress. Who is handling that project?

Pa : sir there is two team working on that project.

Neil : send of team in my cabin. I will have word with them.

The pa nodding his head left the cabin. Neil sighs as he heard some voices outside of the cabin. Neil looks at the team whose heads were down.

Neil : I'm not going to waste my time shouting. I want yes or no answer for the questions I ask next.

All of them staffs snaps their head at Neil and nods their head.

Neil : have you completed the project?

All the staff shook their head making Neil fist his hand not wanting to burst in anger.

Neil : do you think you can complete the project in the date that they have given you?

Staffs: no!

Neil : great.. All of you get resignations letters on my desk by tonight.. all of you fired. Now pack your bags and leave the office.

All the staffs gasped as they found about getting fired. They all starts protesting but Neil didn't give them a chance to speak as he called Prakash pa and explained him what do next.

Neil sighs as they left his cabin.

Neil : what have I get myself in? This wasn't how I planned coming into office today. What's wrong with me? Why isn't my brain working today?

Neil ruffling his hair gulps the water down. Neil leaning back to his chair calmed himself down.

Neil taking a deep breath sat up and decided to work himself on the project. He did few research on the project before getting up and moving to Prakash's cabin to get more detail for the project.

Avni taking small nap in the afternoon woke up 30 minutes ago was making lunch for Neil  so she could take it to his office.

Avni making the lunch packs it in the tiffin box. Avni grabbing the keys of her car and bidding bye to swetha comes out of the mansion.

She then drove to khanna industrial. She did hid her nuptial chain under her dress and vermillion was covered by her hair.

Avni parking the car and taking the tiffin box starts walking the inside the office. She was aware of all the strange eyes on her but ignoring them moves to the receptionist who was on the call while taping her long nails on the desk making avni chuckle.

As the receptionist ended the call she looks at avni.

Receptionist: how can I help you miss?

Avni : hey! Can you guide where Neil khanna is?

Receptionist: do you have any appointment with him?

Avni : unfortunately I don't but can you just guide where his cabin is? He knows me.

Receptionist: oaky.. let me call sir and confirm if he's expecting you.

Avni nods her head. Avni watches the receptionist talk on the call while gazing avni which did make her uncomfortable.

Receptionist: okay sir.. I'll send her in.

The receptionist ends the call and looks at avni.

Receptionist : sorry. I wasn't aware of you knowing or relating to sir. I will direct you to sir cabin.

Avni pass her smile before following the receptionist to Neil's cabin.

Avni thanks the receptionist as they stood outside of the Neil's cabin. The receptionist nodding her head went back while avni knocks on the cabin door.

Avni push the door as she heard 'come in'. She enters and saw Neil typing furiously on the laptop. She sighs and tip toping went behind his chair. She kept the tiffin box on couch as she passed to his chair.

She wraps her arms around his neck making him startled and stop typing. He looks behind and saw avni smirking. Neil smiles and holding Avni's hand pulls her in front and making her fall onto his lap. He secures his hands around her waist making sure she doesn't fall. He smiles and pecks her forehead.

Neil : I love the surprise wifey.. I missed you so much..

Neil got closer to her and placed his lips on hers as she opens her mouth to speak but couldn't because her husband was too desperate to kiss. Neil pinching her waist enters into her mouth and starts exploring. Avni's hands wraps around his neck as she reciprocated the kiss with the same passion as him.

Neil broke the kiss as he felt her breath go uneven. He rested his head on hers and giggles slightly making avni smile. Avni rising her hand up caresses his stubbles making him smile.

Neil pecks both of her cheek while grabbing his phone and calling the receptionist not to disturb him.

Neil ending the call paid full attention to his wife who was still rubbing his stubble.

Neil : what did I do to get wife like you love?

Avni : how would I know what you did Neil to get me?

Neil : true!

As the realisation strikes to avni she gets down his lap making him frown.

Neil : what are you doing love? Come back.

Avni : Neil.. you didn't have your lunch yet. First have lunch then you can do whatever you want.

Neil smirks as he took her words in another way.

Neil : after lunch I can do anything what I like.. right.

Avni opening the tiffin and taking food out glanced at him.

Avni : a while ago that's what I said Neil.

Neil smirks getting up from the chair and moving to avni. He sat beside her and licks his lips as the food aroma hits his nostrils.

Avni chuckles at him and leans back. Neil starts having his lunch while talking to avni about the plan of today's night.

Neil quickly finishing the food looks at his wife to see her dozing off. He smiles and taking tissue wipes his hand up then moves to washroom. He washing his hands comes up and picking avni up laid on the couch carefully. He pecks her forehead then moves back to his desk to complete some work while avni is asleep.

Neil's head starts pounding hardly as the pain starts kicking in. Neil sighing shuts the laptop down and looks at avni who yawningly sat up. He leans his head up and watches avni as she was calculating the location of hers.

He chuckles and calls her name out making avni jump.

Avni relax as her gaze fell on Neil. Avni moves to Neil and sat on his lap wrapping her arms around his neck.

Avni : how i did fall sleep?

Neil : it's okay love. It's happens. Wanna head home?

Avni : have you finish with work?

Neil : not really but my head is paining so I don't think I can get much work done. Shall we head home.

Avni : yeah, let's go home. I'll give you head message. Your headache has increased too much Neil in past days.. I'm noticing that too. We need to see a doctor.

Neil : love I'll be fine soon as you give me head message. Let me grab my things then you make way your out. And right 10 minutes I'll meet you there.. and please wait for me near my car.

Avni nodding her head and kissing Neil's cheek left the cabin.

Avni sits in Neil's car and waits for him. She was scrolling down her phone didn't notice a figure next to her. Avni suddenly feeling someone is watching her looks up didn't frowned seeing no one there.

Her frowns turns into smile as she saw Neil marching towards the car. Neil getting in the car and fastening his seatbelt drove away.

As the car zoomed out the person comes out and dialling his boss number informs what he saw.

Next morning, a hustle was going through khanna mansion. Neil holding Avni's shoulder made her sit and bending on his knees cups her face.

Neil : love, relax. You will reach on the time. You need to stay calm..

Avni : how can I Neil? How didn't you wake me up early? I told you last night I had meeting with a client.. oh god what should I do now..

Neil : Jaan.. take a deep breath.

She did as she was told.

Neil : better..

She nodded her head.

Neil : now you quickly fresh up.. okay.. I'll get all the documents ready for you that is needed.

Avni moves to fresh up while Neil got all the documents and kept in Avni's bags.

Avni rushed down the stairs with Neil behind her.

Avni : Neil I need to borrow your car..

Neil : why you need to borrow when I can drive you there?

Avni nods and they were ready to step out of the mansion but stopped as Neil's phone rang. He gave sorry look to avni  and taking his phone out answers the call.

Neil ending the call looks at Avni.

Neil : I'm sorry love.. I can't drop you.. a producer need me... I have to go there..

Avni: it's fine Neil.. can I take your car?

Neil : here.. drive safely!

Avni nodding her head and taking the car key from Neil rushed out of the mansion... Neil watched her leave but his heart felt some uneasy. He felt something bad was going to happen.

Neil wanted to go behind avni but couldn't because he kept getting call from a producer who is need of him urgently.

Avni drove the car on full speed. She was on the call with her client who was waiting for her.. she was on highway and increased the speed again as she heard the client almost cancelling the deal...

She took next right getting up from the highway not seeing the a big truck was coming from other side.. it was too late when she realised.... She worriedly ending the car and tried stopping the car but couldn't because the car break wasn't working... she kept tried to stop the car but couldn't....
