Vidyut: he is really possessive about juhi and at the same time I don't want to break my friendship with him but please don't tell him for now

Avni: don't worry I wont but u need to do something
soon before its too late.

Neil: do wt before its too late. They both turned to see neil looking at them curiously

Vidyut: that i should go for this business deal before its too late he said

Neil looked at avni who nodded she didn't want to hide anything from him but she had no option because juhi didn't want Neil or  anyone else to know yet 

Neil : anyways I think u had enough dance with  avni  now its my turn

Vidyut: jealous that im.dancing with her now... Both of them smirked back at each other and neil held out his hands to avni which she happily placed and both avneil  started to dance again together'.

Neil  pulled her closer to him and was holding her by her waist while avni hands were around his neck both lost into each other.

They were still dancing closely everyone were changing partners except them' both were aware of their surrounding

Neil didn't want to let her go and dance with anyone else.

Avni: Neil

Neil: hmm

Avni: shouldn't we be swapping partners I mean everyone is doing that except us

Neil: everyone has danced with you enough ...now its only my turn to dance with u

Avni: yh dancing with me again' she said with a smile. 

She suddenly felt goose bump when neil started to caress her waist slightly...' while neil was giving her a teasing smile.. she was trying to look away as if pretending that his hands were having no effect on her waist

Neil : princess I think we should be going.

Avni: really neil I thought u stay till the party ends

Neil: I do princess but I know u don't like parties and if u do go then u don't stay there for long that's y... so shall we

Avni: k but lets tell theo thers before we leave.

Neil and avni moved out of the dance floor and waited till the others finished dancing once they did they all came there

Neil: vidyut thanks for the party man really enjoyed it but to go now

Vidyut: man y go so early stay for a while

Neil : no dude have to go now the thing is avni came to the party for me and she actually doesn't like parties ....so decided to leave and also she has started to recover from her fever so don't want her to catch a cold

Vidyut: k man because of avni im allowing you to go ...anyways bye dude..it was nice meeting u avni... both friends hugged. 

Avni: same here vidyut

Neil: so guys u coming with us or staying till the party ends. He said looking at juhi, riya, aman and vijay

Avni:Neil  let them enjoy they will come after the party ends right guys... but she looked at juhi  and vidyut for a brief second while riya  just winked at juhi

Riya: of course avni di.. see u at home she said hugging avni.

Avneil  soon left after few talks while the rest stayed.

Vijay: they r so cute I just love how neil is taking care of avni

riya : u r right vijay bhai come lets go and get a drink she said as she wanted to leave juhi and vidyut alone

After 30 minutes avneil  reached home' neil got out from his side and went to open the door for avni and both walked into the mahal once reaching the hall

Avni: thanks for the party Neil  and also thanks for the day out so see u later then bye

Neil: princess I think u r forgetting something

Avni: and wt is that

Neil: ur surprise he said with a smirk

Avni: oh yeah how can I forget about that... k so where is the surprise she said looking around

Neil: for that we have to go in ur room ...avni agreed and both went there and once reaching avnis  room Neil  closed the door

Avni: neil where is the surprise she asked getting a bit neil  started to walk towards her

Neil: princess u may be surprised to hear this from my mouth but I wanted to get this out'. Princess you know how I don't like strangers coming close to you especially ur friend akash  (avni was  about to say something but neil stopped her ) plz princess let me finish' u may think im just making a fuss out of it or im over reacting but I cant help it' when I was dating other girls before and when other boys touched or talked to to them closely I didn't care but when it comes to you I do care' avni like  you even I was unaware of our rokha but I got to know from our family few years ago and that time I had to tell my mind that now I have to be committed to only one person' I don't know what it is princess but I actually care for you more than a friend I don't know if its love because I have never fallen in love with anyone but whatever my feeling is its very special and I care for those who are close to me you may think y am I saying this but I had felt that I should share this to you' Till now he was standing in front of her and he could see that small smile playing on her lips

Avni: Neil  i' but again she got stopped  by Neil

Neil: plz princess not until I finish he said ..he slowly bent down on his knees and avni could see something was folded in his hands ...  he continued speaking...princess I know that our rokha had happened when we were young and now your my fiancee but I still want to ask u..' he bought his hand forward. will u marry me' now avni can see the ring he was holding. She was shocked and surprised he really did surprise her' neil could see tears in her eyes after few minutes of silence

Avni: Yes neil I will marry you she said with a smile  ...neil smiled back and was about to put the ring in her finger when avni stopped him.. he got up

Neil : wt happened princess

Avni: neil as we know our rokha happened when we were young and hence we were given small rings to fit in our finger (she said slightly laughing) ...but now we cant wear it because of the size but since u proposed me how about we start the ritual from the beginning as in from  engagement where you can put this ring on me that day in front of everyone

Neil : princess this is actually not a bad idea hmm im impressed he said smirking' both went silent as it got quite awkward

Avni was hesitating for a while but she tried to make the first attempt after a lot of struggling she finally went near him and hugged him her hands were around his waist while her head was resting on his chest'.

Avni again left neil in surprise but after he hugged her back thinking that avni is trying to make attempts

Avni: thanks for the surprise neil

Neil : im gld u liked it so princess ...may I have the honours to dance with u he said forwarding his hands

Avni: I would love to but what about music she said placing her hand in his

Neil : imagine it playing he said pulling her closer' both were doing close dance and after a while neil  twirled avni around and her back hit his chest both were lost into the dance ..

Neil  saw her bare shoulders and couldn't stop himself from placing a kiss there...
Avni shivered and moved away from him slightly but neil held her wrist and started to place wet kisses from her fingers going all the way to her shoulder and the side of her neck.. avni  was breathing so heavily that she felt she will drop soon and turned around quickly  hugging neil ' after a while Neil  picked her in his arms while avni was still hugging him... her hands were around his neck ' he walked towards the bed and placed her down on it...

Avni was sitting with her eyes closed still hugging him and Neil moved his hand towards  avni  hair which was in a bun nd let it loose to fall flat  on her bare shoulders he then broke the hug and made her lay down and was slightly on top of her he was caressing her lips .. they both were close ... when they heard someone speak.

Avni  opened her eyes and both  her and Neil  looked towards the door and at each other after a while they came out just like the other family members did and saw vijay and riya  arguing forsome reason whereas  aman and juhi  were  trying to stop them

Juhi : ri relax and vijay bhai  just stop plz

vijay: no I wont.. u girls cant accept a  fact' I TELL U  
   
Riya: yes we can we r not like you guys who think they r right in everything

Dayawanti : riya, vijay what is happening and what r u both arguing about she asked strictly

Vijay: nani  please don't stop us... today it will be decided 'u girls,, just want attention from boys and put a lot of make up to look good but if one of the guys tell u the truth that u don't look good or did a lot of make up u feel offended and start swearing at them y? because u cant face the truth.

Riya : oh really then vijay bhai  u guys r desperate to go around to look for good looking girls let me guess ..so that u can tell ur mates that u got a hot girlfriend' wait hold on a second y am I even saying this to u coz u run away from girls your self'.

Vijay: forget about this example I have another 1' girls really cant do much unless if they have boys to support them

Riya : oh really that's y many women be it politician, boxers , actors ,  r leading the country and matching the mens without their support' before this could get  any worse avni jumped  in

Avni: ri...relax plz k lets end this over here plz

Vijay: wow avni  u r telling riya  just because she is a girl' see this is another thing women don't agree with men. all the elders were annoyed with this

Avni: vijay bhai its not like that

Vijay: yes it is but I have no issues  because I have Neil   with me he said

Riya:  yh avni di  come we don't need to talk to these boys' both avneil  looked at each other as they were getting dragged into this

Vijay: Neil  u will have to support me come on after all we have to make these girls believe that they r not right at all and for avnis  sake u will support me both avneil  looked at each other shockingly and then at vijay

Neil : vijay  y u dragging us into this

Vijay: because avni  has joined the other team and I made u join mine

Ashish : guys plz stop this useless fights

Riya : no dad  we r going to prove these boys wrong juhi  we will see u tommrow  k bye take care and she gave a quick hug to her' come on di...they were about to go

Juhi : guys lets have a competition

Vijay: what do u mean

Juhi : vijay bhai  lets have a competition where there will be a boys vs   girls team and both we will be given the same task and we have to see how well each teams does and to warn u there wont be only one task but many

Vijay: and whoever wins has to do what the winning team tells them to

Riya : agreed

Juhi : k then we will start the competition after two days

Vijay: that's fine but who will give us the tasks

Juhi : well i guess dadi and bebe can...dadi  can u set the task up please everyone looked surprised and waited for dayawanti  response

Dayawanti : u guys will never change

Vijay: so Neil  banna see u.tomorrow

Neil : y tomorrow I thought the competition is starting after two days

Vjay: yes it is but we have to discuss things u know men things which cant be said in front of the girls he said looking at the three girls... now avni  was annoyed

Avni : enough vijay bhai what is it that u cant discuss in front of us and stop thinking that u r the best k anyone can win u never know

Vijay: well now u r telling me first but you could of said this to riya  but no coz she is a girl and is on ur side u told me

Riya: enough vijay bhai we will see who wins come on di and she dragged avni along with her

Vijay: k guys see u tommrow  then...Neil  and juhi  soon left  and vijay wentt o his room while aman went to his
Later in the night

Avni was really not happy with this competition she hated it when men tried to prove women wrong and women trying to prove men wrong...all she believed in was that everyone was equal....soon she came out her thoughts and saw her phone ringing nd saw Neil calling

Avni : hello

Neil : wow princess picked up my phone in 1 ring.. I never knew u would miss me

Avni : Neil  y did we get dragged into this

Neil : princess its only a competition it will finish like that

Avni: yh but then I feel bad when the other team loses

Neil : oh so u know ur team is going to lose must say juhi  shouldn't have thought about the competition because after all we r going to win

Avni: how mean Neil.. I didn't.say anything like that and how do u know our team is going to lose seriously Neil  don't get ur hopes to high

Neil : y?..r u scared?

Avni : u know what even though I believe everyone is equal but now lets see who wins

Neil : princess I have always won so defo the boys team

Avni: and I have never learnt to lose so hopefully the girls team

Neil : wow over confident huh?

Avni:  I know u r being over confident im just being confident' good night neil its really late now

Neil: good night princess he cut the phone and  was smiling as he loved the way avni answered him back

Next morning avni came outof the washroom in a robe and a towel wrapped around her hair ..she was walking towards her wardrobe when she saw a sight on her bed ' she slowly turned around and was shocked to see neil sitting on the bed comfortably and looking at her intently

Avnk: Neil  what the hell r.u doing here and that also early in the morning

Neil : princess its all your fault he said getting up and slowly walked  towards her

Avno: my fault?  but what did I do?  she asked  confusingly

Neil :princess I couldn't sleep last night because we left something incomplete

Avni: Neil  wt did we leave incomplete

Neil : kiss he said whispering in her ears. Avni closed her eyes when she felt his hot breath on her neck

Avni: well sorry chance has gone she said walking away

Neil : so I wont get my kiss

Avni: im not in the mood to she said looking at him with a smirk

Neil : princess I hope u know that I get whatever I want

Avni : of course neil  I know that by now she said still with a smirk

Neil : so if u know it then y don't u give me my incomplete kiss he said moving towards her while she was moving away

Avni: I told u na that im not in the mood but before Neil  could get hold of her.. avni  moved to the other side quickly,

Neil :  u seem to be in a very naughty mood today he said with a smirk and went towards the side she was standing...but this time avni realised  that she was in a dead end as she was cornered by the wall however she tried to move but neil was close to her and blocked her between the wall and his hand he took of the towel letting her wet hair fall down.. a little droplets of water went on her neck and face he could see avni  breathing going heavier and her chest was moving up and down' he went even more closer to her and started to wipe of the water droplets with his kiss starting from her face and then going on to her neck'

Avni held on to neils  shirt as she felt she might drop soon but luckily enough neil  got hold of her  waist and crushed her body with his..he slowly moved towards her jawline and then back on to her face and this time he lips stopped nears hers slightly brushing it but then soon he locked his lips with her' the kiss started of slowly he nibbled on her bottom lip making her gaps and sucked on  it.. he then entered her mouth playing with her tounge and then claimed her lips..soon  both broke out of the kiss as they needed air

Avni : I don't know how I lose myself to u she said looking at him

Neil : I told u before nobody can escape from yuvraj Neil  khannas  charm not even you... see u downstairs princess he said leaving a quick peck on her lips ..once reaching towards the door he turned around and gave a wink to her before leaving.. once he had gone..avni went towards the mirror and saw her face  all red

Avni: what r u doing to me Neil  she said slightly touching her lips

At the dining table
Vijay: hey I just noticed something
Riya : and wt is that

Vijay: that on the girls side there will be three people which is juhi, riya  and avni

Riya : so I guess u should have.noticed that before vijay bhai

Vijay: yh but on the boys side its only me and Neil as aman said he wont have time due to studies …. U know wt Neil  I think we should add someone to our team

Neil : but who

Vijay: hmmm ashish  mamu he said looking at ashish  but then dropped the idea…. Actually no we need someonelike us…. Ali is out of town so who is left..(after few secs) I know...akash  yes akash …

Neil : r u sure vijay bhai we can think about it again…

Avni was trying to control her laugh she knew y Neil  said that and to tease him a little she interrupted

Avni: u r right vijay bhai that's not a bad idea to have akash … she was constantly talking to riya and was  avoiding Neil  who was sitting on the opposite side staring at her and she exactly knew he was jealous

Vijay: k so decided can anyone give me akash  number

Avni:  I got bis  number I'll give it to u now vijay bhai …

she was giving vijay  the number and once she said the last digit she saw Neil  staring at her but she looked down and started to eat her food.

Everyone had their breakfast and the youngsters were sitting in the hall except juhi

Vijay: guys we all r here but where is juhi

Avni: vijay bhai she has gone to the hospital as she joined today

Vijay: im sorry  he said guilty while avni looked at him confusingly

Avni: for what?

Vijay: for asking about juhi  coz then u will remember about the hospital and… but  he got interrupted by avni… 
she got up from the couch and went to sit next to him

Avni:  vijay bhai u don't need to say sorry and I made my decision so plz don't think I will be upset if anyone mentions about hospital in fact I will be happy that at least my friend will be there so don't feel guilty k  she said hugging him… they soon broke the hug…

avni was about to getup when  she realised her duppata was stuck she slightly turned around and realised that Neil  (who was sitting next to her on the other side) had got hold of it… so she stayed between vijay bhai and Neil  …but at the same time was trying to release her duppata

Riya : I'll just be back need to get my phone.

Vijay: k well im just going to my room so see u later… both soon left

Neil : so princess wt was that about on the table… he said coming closer to her

Avni: I don't know wt u r talking about.. now can u let go of my duppata

Neil : uh-hu I want a proper answer and until u don't give me one I wont let u go ..avni turned around but was shocked and neil  saw her expression

Avni : dadi u here… erm did u want anything… neil  let go of her duppata and turned around but when he did he didn't find anyone there

Neil : princess where is… but he stopped as he turned around and saw avni had gone…

Neil:  lets see how long u can avoid me princess… he called her and she answered.

Avni: yes yuvraj sa how can I help you she said giggling

Neil : princess where r u.

Avni: in my room y?

Neil : u know I am not going to leave u easily

Avni: well that's if u get me

Neil : I know u have locked ur room and it wont take me a second to break it.

Avni: tumhein humari kasam  (under my oath) u wont do anything liked that and if dadi finds out that her son-in-law tried to break her granddaughter door then im sure she wouldn't be happy

Avni: k princess u gave me your oath so I wont but  lets see how long u stay in ur room..

Avni : Neil  I hope u know the mahal is so big.

Neil : princess try to hide as much as u want but u will have to answer my question.  And soon he cut the phone… avni placed her phone down and slightly giggled ...she  soon called juhi

Juhi : hey manyata I got another duty soon so I'll leave a bit late.

Avni: k… so how was it

Juhi : it was good... bit nervous but I know I will get use to it… right now im on my break..

Avni: that's nice how r the colleagues over there.

Juhi: they r nice ..really...friendly and same age as us

Avni: wow that's nice

Juhi: forget about me what is your  plan for today

Avni: juni to be honest I don't know coz right now im in my room hiding from ur bhai  

Juhi : y r u hiding from bhai

Avnj: because when we were on the breakfast table and….. she told about the convo they had on the breakfast table and even the phone convo between her and Neil

Juhi : wow avni  by ur talks anyone easily can tell that bhai  is jealous but he is also possessive

Avni: I know juhi  but u know he always loves to irritate me so i thought  let me irritate him… and guess wt

Juhi: wt

Avni: last night neil  proposed  me

Juhi : wow that's awesome but u both r like fiance  fiancee then how comes

Avni : well u know we decided that even though our rokha had happened when we were young we want to start everything from the fresh as in from the engagement

Avni: who is it…

Avni: ri since we have nothing to do lets watch a movie

Riya : not a bad idea

Avni: is vijay bhai over here or has he gone out

Riya : oh forgot to tell u vijay bhai went with neil jiju

Avni: ok come lets choose a movie… both decided to watch a movie and made the room dark by closing the curtain and door and had popcorn and drink… they both had enjoyed the movie which was 3 hours long both were talking about the movie when riya got a call

Riya :  I'll just be back and she moved out the room to answer the phone…

Avni opened up the curtains and left the window open ...she  took the dvd out and went towards her desk to tidy up the piles of dvd ...after few minutes she heard the door close.

Avni: so riya wt do u want me to do now... when she didn't get a answer she turned around and was shocked to see Neil … the dvd that were in her hand dropped.

Neil : hey princess so finally u can answer my questions

Avni: erm Neil  riya might come in so I think u... we should… but got interrupted

Neil : don't worry princess riya wont coz I locked the door and she saw me come in  he said leaning forward while avni  leaned backwards.

Avni : erm neil  can we just forgot about this

Neil : y scared that I will hurt your  akash

Avni looked at Neil blankly for a sec

Avni : k neil  im sorry but I was just trying to make u jealous by mentioning about akash  and u need to know that akash  is only my friend

Neil : and u need to know that I cant see anyone else putting their hands around ur waist or hugging u closely coz only I have the right…

Avni: Neil  even vijay bhai and aman hug me closely then y don't u like it when he does that

Neil : because he is ur brother and akash  is ur friend but avni  u need to know that I cant tolerate anyone close to u

Avni : Neil  one day u wont feel insecure about akash  being near me coz u will like him as a friend and that's a  promise... now can we forget about this please otherwise it may get worse…

Neil : I'll try my best but don't get angry if I cant stop my self...its just that I get very protective about my close one he said cupping her face.. avni nodded with a smile

Avni : Neil  tell me more about urself

Neil : wt do u want to know.

Avni : everything ..

Neil smiled and  nodded ..he  told her things about him and even she done the same… they both were still talking and while talking avni  hair was coming on her face because of the wind and neil  had the temptation to move it away .. after few minutes he did…  avni felt his
fingers tucking her hair behind her ears and slightly touch her face she stopped speaking and closed her eyes

Neil  noticed her reaction and smirked and continued to rub her cheeks  with his fingers

Neil : wt happened princess y did u stop speaking…

Avni: wo… erm… noth…nothing

Neil : if its nothing then r u stammering and y r ur eyes closed…

Avni: coz ur having a weird effect on me….

Neil  smirked at her answer and avni shot her eyes open as she realised wt she said

Neil : so wt type of effect princess… avni looked at him embarrassingly

Avni: nothing erm I think someone is calling me… ..before neil  could get to her she got of the bed running to the door  and  ran out of the room
