Avni had told Neela and the rest of them to go to venue and that she would meet them their. She opened the bag and looked at the dress smiling, her mother had amazing fashion sense. Taking out the bag she quickly walked into the shower cleaning up before slipping the dress on, the material against her skin felt lovely,she put her nightgown on top to make sure no make up got on the dress, she kept it quite simple and applied dark red lipstick to her lips, she then touched her hair, taking it out she left in waves, pinning the sides and placing a few strands to frame her face. Taking of the nightgown she looked in the mirror smiling. Deciding to leave her phone and not bothering with a clutch, she headed out.

Neil sat in the party with a wine glass in his hand occasionally sipping on the liquid, he looked towards his family who were busy helping  Neela with touches. Guest had started to arrive a few minutes ago. But she wasn't here yet. He sighed, was she avoiding him? Neil sipped on the wine savouring the flavour. He wanted to know what was going on with her but had no idea how to get through to her. He sighed once again looking towards the entrance. A hand touched his shoulder. He turned to see Ali who was smiling at him "She's coming just hang in there, i phoned her because like you Neela Aunty was restless, she's five minutes away." Neil nodded as  the two boys were joined by Aman and a conversation formed between the three, suddenly Avni entered, all the guests stopped moving and talking to whoever and watched as she entered, Aman saw his sister smiled signalling Ali. Neil was confused and looked towards where everyone else was staring, he choked slightly as Ali slapped him on his back. Once he recovered he looked towards Avni. She was wearing a red wine coloured dress, which was backless, her hair was left in simple waves.  She looked beautiful.

She smiled at the guests who immediately started talking to her-complimenting her and asking her about work. She smiled and socialised with all of them as Neil stared at her, he was captivated by her beauty, the way the dress hung to her body to the smile adorning her features. Her eyes locked onto Neil's form as she blocked out the lady who was currently talking to her, he looked handsome in his grey fitted suit, with a black collar enhancing his chiseled frame  paired with a white shirt and black bow tie. She had zoned out with thoughts of Neil. The lady touched her face lovingly saying "You should tell him how you feel before its to late." Avni stuttered as the lady smiled warmly "I can see the love in your eyes child, let him in..your only hurt yourself by pushing him away." Avni looked back at Neil who was looking at her intently. "Child i can see the love between you and i can also see the pain in your eyes, listen to me...let him in." They lady smiled caressing her face before moving on. Avni was mentally conflicted but pushing them thoughts away she walked over too where the boys were. Aman and Ali gave her hug, she nodded at Neil in acknowledgement before walking off to find Neela. A few minutes later Avni and Neela walked onto the floor. Neela began "Thank you all for coming here today and showing your support for this new NGO its something that mean a lot to me and my daughter." Neela looked at Avni as Avni spoke to the crowd "This NGO is in name of my mother Ayesha Haider who is no longer in this world, i loved my mother so much and one thing i hope for is that in her new life she won't have to deal with the pain that she dealt with this life. My mum would wait in hope for my father to come home..i remember being only eight years old and wondering why are family wasn't normal...i used to look at other families and wonder why i couldn't have that...i used to think that it was my fault but i never let my insecurities surface because i knew how broken my mum was. She was a gem...one in a million, despite having her happiness snatched from her, her heart was always in the right place doing little things for children that had nothing, and i know for a fact that by meeting all of you she would be pleased."  Just before anyone clapped Neela spoke "And i'm sure she knows that her daughter is deeply loved by loads of people." Avni hugged Neela as the crowd burst into applause at the mother and daughter duo, breaking the hug Avni turned back to the crowd "Hey hey i  wasn't done...i have a habit of talking too much..." The crowd laughed slightly,as Neil couldn't help but agree "Ma..." She turned to Neela "Thank you. Not just for this but for everything. You have been my mum, my dad, my best friend and so much more so thank you." Neela smiled again hugging her child.

 Avni sipped on her wine as music came on, Neela was slow dancing with one of her single male friends as Avni gave her a thumbs up. Suddenly a random guy asked Avni for a dance. She refused but he kept on insisting, giving up she accepted, as they walked towards the dance floor seeing Neil with a girl on the way, she growled slightly as the guy looked at her in shock she instantly smiled sweetly sending this mysterious guy head over heels for our Avni. He placed one hand on her waist and the other was holding her in a typical ballroom way. As they danced Avni asked "So..whats your name?" "Dev." He smiled at her warmly. "Ohh and..." He moved forth whispering in her ear "You look stunning." A blush formed as she smiled at him, he spun her around as she caught sight of Neil glaring daggers at the back of the Dev's head. Avni decided it was time to play dirty slightly as placed her head on Dev's chest before saying to Dev "I'm sorry, its just i'm so tired, work was horrible and i was stuck in a situation." Dev chuckled slightly as Neil was having a hard time to control himself from going over there and taking his girl into his arms. He was currently dancing with a bitch who clearly was desperate-she even tried to make a move on DD which was totally hilarious. Suddenly the DJ announced, "Okay we are going to change this up so for the next two songs you will dance with whoever you end up with as your current partners spin the ladies." Dev smiled at her "Till next time." Before she could say anything else she was spinning before she fell into Neil captivity. Her conscious taunting her 'Well isn't this great, now your stuck with HIM, did you have to end up in his arms. Good luck coming out of this one alive.' ....
