Avni: neil u r so besharam and with that she moved out of the study room while neil smirked seeing that small blush on her cheeks... soon he came out and was sitting down when he saw avni sitting next to juhi and both were talking.

Avni could feel neil gaze on her and she turned to look at him and found him pointing his fingers on his lips... avni glared at him as if telling him to behave.

Meanwhile at some other place the person who was in a shawl walked to a room where someone was sitting on chair

Stranger: boss I was close... though yuvrani avni saw me I had one exit to escape which was from the garden but before yuvraj neil could reach there I escaped

Boss: I don't care about that all I want to know is have u done the work I asked u to do.

Stranger: yes I bought the file you wanted from Dayawanti devi room he said handing it over to his boss.

Boss: great this is what I wanted but along with this... metha and khanna family will have to suffer and I exactly know what to do said the boss looking at the photo frame hanged on the wall with the whole metha and khanna family... but on the photo frame there was a big cross and an evil smirk on the boss face.

Stranger: what r u going to do boss? The boss gave him an angry look

Boss: you will get to know soon till then let them enjoy for some time because later on all they will be doing is cry. Now get lost I will call u when required...the stranger vanished from the room while the boss sat down on the chair.

Back to the palace

In avni room sia had arrived and she was sitting on the bed along with avni, juhi and riya... while the other girls were busy riya was opening all the gifts that avni received on the engagement day as she loved opening gifts.

Riya: wow jiji look at this she said showing a diamond set...riya was acting like a small child by seeing all the gifts

Sia: riya soon u r going to get married and right now u r behaving like a child ...I hope ali knows that sometimes the mature riya hides and the baby riya is out. U seem more excited about the gift than avni.

Riya: oh come on jiji I still have time for marriage but first I will become a masi and play with this little baby in ur womb she said pointing towards sia's tummy.

Avni: jiji a big baby will be playing with a small baby. And hi-five sia and juhi while riya pouted.

Riya: that was not funny at all avni di now let me get back to unwrapping the gifts.

Vijay: what is happening here ladies... he said walking in and sat on the other side of the bed.

Juhi: nothing just teasing riya

Vijay: which is normal and in return he got a glare from riya.... anyway juhi shweta aunty and neela mami sa have gone to some charity event and from there shweta aunty will go straight to khanna palace so neil banna said he will come to pick u up later on as he had to go for a meeting right now... Avni looked a little disappointed but knew that her and neil cant be around each other as they have other things to do.

Riya: sia jiji when will we start the other function

Sia: probably when we have 1 or two weeks left for the wedding.

Riya: that's great vijay bhai we literally have a month to organise the wedding... she turned towards juhi and avni and took their hands in her... and I promise this wedding will be memorable for u..

Vijay: the wedding will be best riya.. after all we r royals so it has to be a grand wedding and one more thing the designer will be coming after two days to take measurements for all our outfits for all the function that's going to be held but juhi shweta aunty said ur designer will come tomorrow.

Riya: awesome I just cant wait when manish (designer) comes im going to make sure he designs the best outfit for me after all I need to look the best

Vijay: calm down rii calm down ur acting like as if its ur wedding plus don't u think avni and juhi need to look ravishing or in ur word the best as its their wedding and not urs.

Riya: vijay bhai I know its not my wedding and jiji and juhi need to look gorgeous in their wedding but being the bride's sister and friend I also need to stand out.

Vijay: then sia jiji u also join the list na after all ur the elder sister. He said teasingly... after a while there was a knock

Avni: come in... seema ji walked in with her head bowed

Seema: sorry to disturb you but mahraj ashish said that he wants rajkumar vijayendra to be at raj mata's office after an hour.

Vijay: ok seema ji you may go now... after seema ji left they all were busy chatting about various of things... avni phone which was on the side table near her bed vibrated she turned her attention to her phone to see a message from neil which read

'Missing me?'
avni smiled inwardly and replied back

'nope y would I?'
She kept her phone on her lap and continued talking to others when she received another message

'princess I'm missing the flavour of ur lipgloss'... avni cheeks turned slightly red however she composed herself and replied back

'so wt do u want me to do about it'

Neil smirked and leaned back on his chair while texting back

'u exactly know princess'

'well sorry its out of stock'
avni playfully texted back...

It had been ten minutes and avni kept waiting for neil to reply back but he didn't so she left it and went back to the conversation others were having...

it had been an hour and vijay had left to meet ashish while the girls stayed in the room unaware of the convo that was going to take place in dayawanti office

Vijay walked in to the office and saw ashish , prakash , doctor saab, daywanti, bebe and also neil standing there

Ashish : vijay beta I hope u know y we called u here.

Vijay: yes mama sa I do he said looking at neil.

Bebe : neil beta now that vijay is here will u tell us exactly what happened... neil nodded and started to speak

neil: dadi, bebe avni said she saw someone in the mahal who ran away. and i think this might be the person who called avni before... all the other were a little shocked that they didn't know about this.

Prakash : how can someone come in with such a tight security?

Vijay: prakash uncle me and neil banna asked all the guards but they are saying they didn't see anyone meaning that someone didn't come from the main gate but they came from the back gate

Ashish : WHAT? Back gate ? ...were the guards sleeping that time or what he said angrily.

Vijay: mama sa we didn't have guards at the back because there was barbed wires on the wall so that the palace is secured with that but I just told the head of the security guard to place some guards at the back as well however the barbed wires was damaged from one side meaning that the unknown person did that so he could easily come in and escape

Doctor saab: mahraj I will go and see if some guards have been kept at the back gate ..ashish nodded and with that doctor saab left to check

Ashish: beta did u find out who that person was

neil: no ashish uncle ... that person was very clever he called from another number and once he work was done he threw the sim card away... once that person is caught then nobody can spare him from me

Dayawanti: neil beta we have to be careful and somehow we need to make sure that the person doesnt call avni again and after we leave this office nobody will talk about this as we don't want anyone to be tensed especially sia who is expecting. All nodded and left the place...

vijay went back to avni room along with neil both kept a casual face before entering. Avni had gone to the washroom to freshen up while juhi, sia and riya where talking but turned their attention towards the door to see neil and vijay walking towards them and both sat on the nearby couch.

Vijay: what happened what r u guys talking about

Riya: vijay bhai im just saying that we guys havent gone to the club since ages and I think we should go there.

Vijay: so what the harm lets go at night then

Riya: yh but u know how avni di ... she hates partying and all and I don't think she will go to the club

Sia: don't worry I'll tell avni she will agree

Vijay: what about u sia di u coming

Juhi: nope sia jiji needs rest she seems so tired and I want her to fully rest in this condition she said looking at the small little bump that was only little bit visible and looked at sia and smiled.

Sia: yep plus I need to go back to the palace daksh and everyone will be waiting for me

Neil: sia di u don't worry u can go im sure avni will agree dw

Sia: u sure... neil nodded and she left kissing riya on the forehead and caressed juhi cheeks lovingly

Riya:neil jijs r u sure u r going to convince jiji to come

vijay: of course riya .. remember how avni bhai was ready to come to vidyut's party all thanks to neil banna... he said with a naughty smile while neil smirked.

Riya: k lets choose a club

Juhi: there is no need riya especially when bhai bought a new club two month back.

Vijay: and we know when its neil's club then it will be rocking for sure. Juhi y dont u invite vidyut

Juhi: yh I'll just call him in a little while.

Riya: k then lets go and choose our outfit and juhi u stay here and get dressed at our palace okay

Juhi: but rii I need to get my outfits

Riya: no need im sure we will find something for u from mine or jiji's wardrobe now lets go and with that she dragged juhi with her

Vijay: seriously neil banna I swear to god whenever riya knows we r going out or there is a function then she will bring the whole palace down until she doesn't find anything suitable for herself. I TELL U... anyways r u going to go home and change or?

Neil: yh just gone leave in a little while and then will be back soon.

Vijay: k them im going to my room see u later... neil nodded...

avni who had gone to the washroom to freshen up as she was still feeling tired came out wiping her face with the towel unaware that only neil was in the room... she threw the towel on the couch without looking in that direction which landed on neil covering his face...avni walked to open the window and thinking that the others are still in the room started to speak but didn't even once think why its quite.

Avni: rii can u put my phone in charge please its just near u... avni who just opened the window stopped when she heard neil speak

Neil: princess at least see who is in the room he said naughtily... avni turned around to find neil right behind her making her slightly lose her balance but neil steadied her

Avni: what r u doing here neil I thought u were going to come later on to pick juhi? Where did the others go? ..and when did u but she couldn't complete as neil covered her mouth with his hand

Neil: avni stop your blabbering... avni scowled at him and removed his hands from her mouth

Avni: oh hello what do u mean by stop ur blabbering I just asked u a question she said now with her hands on her hips

Neil: a question? Or you mean so many questions at the same time? He said raising his eyebrow

Avni: so? U r yuvraj neil khanna I thought u can do anything. She said walking past him but then got pulled into his arm... her hands were resting on his chest while his hands were around her waist

Neil: of course I can answer all ur question in one minute u want to see how...

avni looked at him confusingly but then her eyes widen when she saw his face nearing hers and knew what he was hinting at...she slowly started moving backwards with her hands still on his chest which kept some distance between them while neil had his hand still around her waist... both were looking into each other's eye and nearing the bed... avni suddenly lost her balance and fell on the bed with neil on top of her as she had grabbed his shirt when she lost her balance.

Avni had her eyes closed due to the sudden fall while neil was staring at her nonstop... he removed few strands of hair that had fallen on her face...but before he could continue to romance with his fiancee someone knocked on the door

neil gave this annoying look while avni eye shot up and she pushed neil out of the way... she composed herself while neil sat on the bed and avni told the person to come in. it was none other than juhi she walked in the room to see her brother sitting on the bed and avni standing near the door.

Juhi: sorry to disturb u guys but I just forgot my phone over here she said picking up her phone from the bed.

Avni: its k juhi u didn't disturb us.

Juhi: avni I'll see u in a bit I will just go and help riya k and us 3 will get ready together as that's what riya said... but before avni could ask her she had gone closing the door. Avni turned towards neil

Avni: neil what was juhi talking about?

Neil: nothing everyone has decided to go to the club as its been ages now u also decide what u going to wear.

Avni: oh hello im not coming I have other things to do u guys enjoy

Neil: princess im not asking u im telling u and if we can enjoy then u r also allowed to enjoy and everyone is excited to go... u know riya will be disappointed if u don't come

Avni: fine im coming

Neil: and one more thing

Avni: what now? Neil walked closer to avni and whispered in her ear

Neil: look beautiful for me only.. Avni slightly blushed... neil chuckled seeing her blush and pecks her lips before leaving.

Later on

Avni was going through her wardrobe to find something suitable to wear and also she wanted to look beautiful for neil though she was surprised as she is one of them who doesn't like dressing up a lot but for neil she was ready to do that to make him happy.

She was still searching for something to wear when juhi and riya just walked into her room while seema ji walked behind them carrying their outfits.

Juhi: avni did u find anything to wear yet.

Avni : nope she said still going through her
clothes.

Riya: move aside di ...riya said as she started to look for something that would suit avni for tonight and with riya being around, avni didn't have to worry as she knew her sister would know what's best for her to wear.

Avni went and sat next to juhi on the bed and both were looking at riya and finally after five minutes she found something to wear for her sister and with a smile she showed the outfit to avni .

Riya : u r going to be wearing this jiji...

avni looked at the outfit and was surprised that how it was taking her an hour to decide what to wear and here riya sorted out her problem in few minutes.

Juhi: wow this is awesome.

Riya : k let's get ready now it's already 5:00pm... finally the girls got ready and riya told them not to wear to much jewellery as it wouldn't look that gd

This is what the girls were wearing

Riyas dress

avni 's dress

juhi's dress

Riya was doing her hair, avni was applying perfume, while juhi was applying lip-gloss... all of a sudden riya phone rang and she answered it... while juhi and avni stopped what they were doing and started to listen to riyas convo

Riya: hey ali

Ali: hey riya, sorry I couldn't answer ur phone, was in a important meeting and when it finished I saw 10 miss calls from u is everything k?

Riya: haan ali everything is k well we all made a plan to go to neils new club near xyz but wanted to see if u r free so that you can join us

Ali: oh I se... so r u at the club right now or still at the palace

Riya: nope we r still at the palace we will be leaving around 6

Ali: alright then I know where that club is but I probably may be few minutes late

Riya: but ali make sure u don't come in ur formal attire k

Ali: ok honey see you soon love u bye

Riya: love u 2 bye.

Once she ended the call she saw avni and juhi smiling at her naughtily.

She decided to ignore their naughty looks and continued to do her hair.

Avni : juhi have u noticed riya is becoming bold these days

Juhi: hmm when she said I love u too to ali did u see how her face was glowing.

Riya: stop it guys I just remembered I left my purse in my room I'll go and get that and meet u guys downstairs.

Riya quickly left the room while avni and juhi started to laugh

Juhi: avni even I forgot my phone and purse is in riya room I'll go and get that so even I'll meet u downstairs k.

Avni : k juhi.

Once juhi left she put on her bracelet and applied some mascara and eyeliner and lip-gloss and looked in the mirror...

Riya had curled avni 's hair from the bottom and she had a small gold pendant on... she collected her phone and purse/clutch that was matching to her outfit...

she was trying to put on her bracelet while walking towards the door but having her purse and phone in her hand it was kind of difficult for her and because of this she didn't notice she bumped into neil who held her from her waist so that she didn't fall.

Neil: careful princess

Avni : thanks...come lets go downstairs everyone must be waiting she said trying to move out of his grip but neil didn't let go of her

Neil: princess u r looking really beautiful I think us two should cancel the plan of going and send the other to the club he said moving her hair from her bare shoulder and slightly caressed it.

Avni felt butterflies in her stomach and she closed her eyes while neil moved slightly close to her and was brushing his lips against her cheeks he was about to move towards her lips when avni stopped him.. slightly moving her face away from him

Avni : neil if we don't go down now someone will come up to get us...

neil removes his hand from her waist and held her hand and walked downstairs where the others were.

Ashish: enjoy at the club kids and avni u especially don't try to go away from there... avni pouted at ashish statement

Avni : paaa u should be on my side she said giving cute angry look

Vijay: thanks mamu sa... guys shall we leave now. This time neil and vijay decided not to drive and take the drivers.

Neil and avni were in Neil's car, while vijay riya and juhi went in another car and were going to meet vidyut and ali at the club. Though they did have guards coming in another car for their safety.

In avneil car avni was busy texting on her phone that she didn't realise neil was getting annoyed as she way paying more attention on her phone than him and this had been going on for 10mins.

Finally he took her phone and switched it off making avni look at him with her mouth wide open

Avni : neil give my phone back

Neil: no for the last 10 mins u have been texting completely forgetting that im sitting next to u.

Avni : neil please give me my phone

Neil: nope because if I do then u will be busy texting and if it was in ur hands then you would be texting the whole night.

avni scowled at him and looked outside the window

Avni : now I wont pay any attention to u.

Neil: princess I think u r challenging youself because even u know that u will fail in what u said he said slightly leaning towards her but avni shoved him away

Avni : no I am challenging u she said looking at him and then turned her face towards the window

Neil: come on princess even u know u cant ignore me for long.

neil was watching all her expression and smirked he knew how to make her look at him... he looked at the driver who was busy driving not paying any attention on them... slowly he moved his hand and started drawing circles on her knee... avni who was still looking outside stiffened when she felt neil drawing circles on her knee... she closed her eyes and took a deep breath trying not to react to his touch...

neil smirked as he saw avni clutching her hands tightly and knew she was affected already and to tease her more he slowly started moving his hands up her thighs, avni eyes were wide and before neil's hand could move further avni put her hands on top of his to stop him

avni : stop it neil she said fully turning to him...

neil can see her cheeks were slightly red... avni grasped his hands and moved it from her thighs and when she was about to let go of his hands neil clasped it in his and was caressing the back of her hand with his thumb.

when both looked at each they couldn't look away and didn't realise that they had reached to the club.... But then they felt the cool breeze as the guards had opened the door and they finally realised that they reached to the club... without wasting time both got out of the car and saw vijays car entering at the main entrance of the club and some guards went there to open the door for them.

Till then avni snatched her phone from neils m and gave a victory smile. She gave her purse to one of the guards while she held on to her phone

All entered the club and saw vidyut and ali walking towards them... vidyut went and hugged juhi first and kissed her on her forehead and then moved to hug neil and the others while ali did the same...

two guards were behind them but they were standing away to give the royals some privacy

Vidyut: guys lets go to the bar section.. all agreed and headed there and ordered their drinks.

They were chit chatting. When ali asked riya for a dance and both headed to the dance floor, after few minutes vidyut and juhi followed them and joined them.

Vijay: avni let's go he said pulling her of her seat and dragged her to the dance floor...

avni quickly took her phone before she left it at the bar... she then turned around to see neil sipping his drink staring at her.. With her other hand she indicated him to come but he gestured her that he will be there in 1 min.

all were enjoying a lot that they started to dance freely without any worries... they didn't even realise that other people were dancing with them ...

neil who just finished his drink saw avni and some guy doing the same step of dance however he failed to noticed that even the others were doing the same... he moved towards the dance floor and kept his gaze on avni who was in her own world that she didn't realise that the guy who she was dancing with had moved away to dance with others and neil was standing behind her.

All of a sudden she jerked as neil's hand slid around her waist and turned her towards him.

Avni smiled at him and both started to sway to the music...

neil pulled avni even closer to him. Avni looked around and put her hands on his chest to keep a little distance and moved her face near his ears .

Avni : neil what r u doing don't forget we r in public luckily she didn't have to whisper as nobody would hear her due to the loud music.

Neil looked at her for few sec before pulling away and avni was surprised that he let her go easily but soon enough neil held her hand and took her away from the dance floor.

Avni : neil where r we going, everyone is on the dance floor and when they find us missing they will look for us she said trying to stop him and also tried to free her hands from his grip which tightened.

slowly the music started to fade away and avni saw a guard opening the door for them which lead them somewhere....

all of a sudden neil let go of her hand and covered her eyes with his right hand while he held her waist from his left hand and guided her

avni : neil where r u taking me

neil: shh princess u will find out in a minute...

soon they entered a room which was actually neil's private room.

One guard was standing outside the room and opened the door for them but before moving in neil gestured the guard to move away from there.

After closing the door the guard moved away from the private room.

Inside the room neil slowly moved his hands away from avni eyes and waist and moved away from her... whereas avni opened her eyes slowly when she didn't feel neil near her... but the atmosphere of the room left her awestruck

she looked around to see scented candles around the whole room with rose petals on the floor. On the table she could see candles set in a heart shaped with two wine glass in the middle (

she really didn't know what was going on right now... neil who was watching all her expression came in front of avni who looked at him

avni : neil what is all this..and where r we? She said still taking in the beauty of the way the room was looking

neil: we r in my private room princess and what happened? u didn't like it? Although he knew the answer by seeing her expression but he still wanted her to say it

avni : its more than beautiful neil I love it so much but when did u get time to do all this and is there something special that this room is decorated like this?

neil: princess all this arrangements were made 30 minutes ago and u know nothing is impossible for yuvraj neil khanna and yh there is something special and u know what that is?... he put his hands around her waist while her hands were on his chest.

Avni : what? She said softly with a cute smile playing on her lips

Neil: you are special princess so a special arrangement made to spend some time with the most amazing special women in front of me...

avni smiled at him as his worlds always touched her heart... she moved her hands from his chest and placed it around his waist almost hugging him

Avni : thank you so much neil and after saying this she kissed him on his cheeks

Neil: not bad princess if I knew I would be getting sweet kisses from you then I would do these types of things every day and u never know one day u might get impressed with me so much that u will give me a bonus kiss which will be on the lips...he said with his usual smirk whereas avni cheeks turned red

Avni : shut up neil... she moved away from him but before she could take another step forward neil held her wrist and walked towards her.

Neil: may I have the honours to dance with you... Avni smiled at him and he knew that was a yes.

He took her mobile from her hand and placed it on the table and took avni to the centre of the room and on the way he took the remote of the music system...

Once they were in the centre neil pressed the play button and threw the remote on the bed... some slow romantic song was playing (maybe you could guess the type of romantic song you prefer)...

neil pulls avni close to him while dancing with her...his hands were around her waist while avni hands were around his neck. ...both were swaying to the music and after few mins neil twirled her around twice making her back land on his chest still continuing to dance with neils hands still on her waist while avni hands were now resting on top of his hand...

after a while neil slowly moved one of his hands away from her waist and bought it towards her shoulder to remove her curled locks from her bare shoulder.

His lips moved towards her bare shoulder and started placing small kisses slowing moving towards earlobe

Avni had her eyes closed as soon as she felt his lips on her shoulder making her breath heavily... she held his one hand tightly which were on her waist while his other hand was caressing her arms still kissing her...

after few minutes he moved her hair forward and started to kiss the back of her nape... she tried to move away but his grip tightened around her waist he could also feel her shivering...

he then turned her around facing him and saw her eyes were closed with her cheeks going red, her lips quivering and also could notice her breathing was not normal due to effect he had on her making a smirk appear on his face

Neil placed one of her arms around his neck and bent down to pick her up, walking towards the bed...avni opened her eyes when she felt neil carrying her... and looking into his eyes made her really nervous because of the way he was looking at her...

He slowly placed her on the bed and sat down taking a red rose which was on the side of the bed... avni gulped as soon as she felt neil tracing her hand with the soft rose moving it up towards her arms, to her bare shoulder and neck...

he stopped for a min and made her lay down while he was laying sideways and the continued to caresses the rose on her jawline and then on her lips and then moved the rose down her jawline again moving to her neck and continued to caress the rose on her chest and was about to move further down but stopped as avni couldn't take this anymore and she quickly sat up...

she closed her eyes and was trying to breath normally but how can she when she felt neil kissing her earlobe and then started brushing his lips softly on her shoulder making her feel even more ticklish ...

he turned her face towards him and started tracing her lips with his finger and then placed his lips on to her... avni kissed neil back also and she was sure that neil could hear her heart beating really fast. she felt neil making her lay down again without breaking the kiss... both of them had their eyes closed... her hands were playing with his hair while his fingers were drawing on her waist as he nibbled on her lower lips and then moved his lips on her neck...

all of a sudden her phone started ringing, she opened her eyes and tried to find where her phone was and tried to get up realising neil is still busy in kissing her around the neck.

Avni : neil move I need to see who is calling, but he didn't move, she tried calling him again... neil move.

Neil: shhh princess and don't disturb me he said lifting his face and then his eyes fell on her lips, avni knew she had to stop him otherwise this would be going on.

He was just about to capture her lips when avni pushed him and got up from the bed and walked to the table to get her phone ...by the time she reached there her phone had stopped ringing she checked her phone to see that vijay had called her and before she could call back he called her again

Vijay: avni where the hell r u and neil banna? She could sense from his voice that he was slightly worried

Avni : vijay bhai I'm with neil

Vijay: even we know that you are with neil but the question is WHERE r u guys?...we asked the guards if they know where you are but they said they don't know...

now avni was confused as to why did the guards say that when they r the ones who opened the door which headed towards the private room.

Avni : vijay bhai neil wanted to show me something but we r just coming back to the club right now ok we will see u guys in a bit k bye..

Before vijay could ask anything else she cut the call.

she then turned towards neil and saw him sitting on the bed going through his phone she walked up to him.

Neil looked up when he felt avni standing in front of him.

Neil: what happened princess

Avni : y did the guards lie saying they don't know where we were?

Neil: because I ordered them and if I didn't do that then im sure we wouldnt have got this much time together he said moving his fingers up and down her arm making her move away slightly ...she tucked her hair behind her ears remembering what just happened between them

Avni : I think we should be going she said quickly and moved towards the door.

neil smirked and walked towards her, he opened the door and both got out of the room... neil held her hand after and both walked hand in hand back to the club and saw everyone sitting on the table.

The others saw them coming and raised their eyebrows at them. Avni had a worry smile while neil was smirking as usual.

While walking avni leaned towards neil and whispered

Avni : now you have to answer their question not me and make sure you give proper answer which are not embarrassing because at the end you will get away easily but I wont.

Once reaching towards the table they sat down while the others were still looking at them.

Vijay: so where were u guys and neil banna wt did u want to show avni

Neil: in my private room he said casually and he could see how avni was giving him those angry looks

Rithivk: really?..but viijay banna told us that avni said u wanted to show her something now I wonder what could someone show in their private room he said giving the couple naughty looks.

Avni was embarrassed already and now vidyut comment wanted to make her run away.

Whereas neil just smirked and seeing that smirk on his face avni felt like hitting him

Riya: hmmm someone has become bold she said indirectly to avni as they had teased her when she was speaking to ali on the phone and in return she got a glare from avni

Neil: it was something special vidyut a special gift for avni which she got so lets stop this topic here...

They spent about 3 hours in the club and decided to go back to the palace...all of them said bye to vidyut and ali and were walking back in the parking lot.

Vijay: avni u come with us and let juhi go with neil as it will be easier for him to go straight to his palace

Neil: no its k vijay banna I will drop avni and pick juhi from metha palace

Avni : but neil vijay bhai is right it will waste your time I will go with vijay bhai and juhi will... but she couldn't continue as neil didn't let her speak

Neil: princess when I said I will drop and u and pick juhi up from metha palace then I will do that... all the other looked at each other seeing neils stubbornness but also was happy to see how he wanted to stay with avni a little longer and left from the club.

In vijay car.

Juhi: riya what r u thinking about she asked riya who was lost in her thoughts but came back when juhi nudged her

Riya: nothing juhi I was just thinking what could have neil jijs shown to di

Vijay: well im sure we will somehow get it out from avni he said to riya and juhi with a naughty smile... whereas riya hi-fived him while juhi smiled and shook her head thinking how her friend is going to get away from this now.

Meanwhile in avneil car neil was talking to one of his important client while avni was looking out of the window... she was slowly starting to feel sleepy but tried to stay awake...she turned her face to neil and tried to listen to his talk so that she could stay awake but that went in vain, ...she wrapped her hands around his arm and placed her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes slowly drifting into a peaceful sleep...

neil was still talking on the phone when he felt avni hand around his arm and head on his shoulder, after few mins he cut the call and looked at avni to find her sleeping with a cute smile on her face...he kissed her on her head and smiled slightly.

Yes he wanted to spend more time with her that's y he decided he will drop her... however he didn't feel disappointed seeing her sleep because as long as she is with him he is happy.

Soon enough they reached to the palace avni was still sleeping and neil tried waking her up

Neil: princess we have reached the palace come on get up.

Avni: hmm she said in her sleeping state not realising what neil said and continued to sleep

Neil: princess he said trying once again but still she didn't move... she wont wake up he thought for a sec and untangled her hand from his arm and placed her head on the seat properly he got out of the car and walked to avni side while the guard opened the door ...

neil bent down and placed avni hand around his shoulder and picked her up before walking he told the guard to give avni phone and purse to one of the maid which was inside the car...he walked inside the palace while avni was leaning her head on his shoulder having her hands around his neck.

He was walking up the stairs when riya, juhi and vijay entered to see this scene and gave a naughty smile...

neil didn't notice that they had arrived as he was busy taking avni to her room once reaching to her room he placed her on the bed and covered blanket over her, before leaving he caressed her hair and kissed her on the forehead and left the room. When he came down he saw the trio sitting in the living area

Neil: choti shall we leave

Juhi: jee bhai and before leaving they hugged riya and vijay and left from there

Riya: vijay bhai where r the elders

Vijay: how would I know I was with u guys. Sometimes u ask stupid question riya ...I TELL U

Riya: wait... she called seema ji who came asap...

Riya: where is dadi, bua sa, mom and dad

Seema: rajkumari ji they are in their room ready to sleep

Riya : k u can go

Vijay: lets not disturb them they must be tired also... k riya good night im too tired.

Riya: good night...

Riya went into her room to freshen up and then changed into her pyjama she was about to get comfortable in her bed and realised that avni is probably sleeping in her dress and decided to go and change her clothes as she knows how uncomfortable it gets to sleep in clothes like that once reaching to her sister room she came in with sheetal (maid) and told her to get avni pyjama out of the cupboard...

sheetal made a sleeping avni sit up and was holding her by the shoulders... they somehow took of her dress and after 10 mins finally succeeded in making a sleeping avni where pyjama but unknowingly this woke avni up...

she slowly opened her eyes to see that she was in her room and her baby sister was sitting on her bed

Avni: riii what r u doing here and when did we reach to the palace she said sitting up properly but still was a little sleepy

Riya: di I just remembered u must be sleeping in ur dress so I called sheetal ji to help me and when we finally finished that is when u decided to wake up... and we reached to the palace about 1 hour ago where neil jijs bought u to ur room...

Avni realised she must have fallen asleep despite trying to stay awake.

Avni: well thanks riii. I will just go to the washroom riya nodded while avni went and when she came back after five minute she found sheetal had left but riya was sleeping on her bed cuddling her toy... avni smiled as riya was looking really cute and went back to bed

next morning avni, and riya decided to join ashish for jogging and he was glad that his two daughter were joining him.

They had left around 7 in the morning and went to a nearby jogging park with two guards just behind them.

Ashish was in the middle while riya was on his right and avni on his left

while jogging riya thought this is the right opportunity of making avni reveal what neil had shown her

Riya: dad u know we enjoyed a lot at the club yesterday

ashish : that's good

Riya: but you know avni di enjoyed the most in fact you would been shocked thinking is this really avni di... she was dancing with all of us but then all of a sudden neil wanted to show her something and both disappeared from the dance floor.

Avni was listening casually but when she heard wt riya said she looked at her and then at ashish who was busy looking ahead while jogging.

Ashish : really? Avni what did neil show u? avni closed her eyes for a brief second dreading that question

Avni: paaa ...neil wanted to show me erm neil actually... paa

Ashish : come on avni speak properly and y r u stammering as if I have asked you a difficult question

Avni in her mind: it is a difficult question paa how can I even answer this...I hate neil im sure that yuvraj must be sleeping peacefully without any worry and of course how can I miss that he also must be smirking in his sleep...erghhh neil.... and riya... couldn't she keep quite but how can I forget if she and vijay bhai wants to know something then they will find out but im no less because even im your sister rii

Riya: come on di answer dad... avni stopped speaking in her mind and gave an angry look to riya

Avni: paa actually neil told me that he redesigned his private room so he wanted to show me and asked that if I wanted to change anything then I should tell him now.. that's all.
but riya and vijay bahi are keep on asking me the same question since last night about what neil wanted to show me.

Riya looked away thinking how her planned failed

Ashish : im happy how you and neil care about each other's opinion

After 20mins of jogging they finally reached to the palace ashish straight went to his room as he had to go and meet prakash ...

while avni and riya were walking up the stairs to go to their room.

vijay bhai was coming downstairs when saw his two cousin sister in jogging tracks and blocked their way

avni who was telling riya to stop teasing her looked at vijay who had his eyebrows raised...

three of them were standing on the middle of the stairs

Vijay: hmmm u guys went to jogging and that also without me

Riya: oh please vijay bhai the staff over here tried to wake u up so many times but u didn't so I came myself to ask if u want to join me and di as we planned to go with dad but u wouldn't wake up as u were busy snoring

Vijay: hey I don't snore

Rita: well ur sleeping so how will u know if u snore or not

Vijay: whatever

Riya: watch next time when I come to wake u up then I am going to record it or bring a witness to prove that I am right.

Avni: u guys continue ur argument while I will go and have a shower.

Avni headed to her room while riya and vijay glared at each other

After breakfast everyone got busy with their work.

Avni was with dayawanti in the study room where dayawanti was telling her more about devgarh.

After talking about it for 30mins both came out of the study room.

Daya was going to her room while avni stopped seeing her mom order the maid about something she went near to see what was happening

Neela: seema ji please give this file to ravi (staff memeber) and tell him to go and give it to ashish at his office right now as he needs it urgently ok.

Seema ji nodded and was about to go when avni stopped her

Avni: seema ji please wait.

Neela; what happened bacha.

Avni: ma can I go and give this file to paa

Neela: beta y should u go? ravi will go and give it

Avni: please ma let me go, I can give dad this file and also get a tour of our office besides I haven't got anything to do

Neela: but avni

Avni: please ma

Neela: ok go but bacha do take guards with u k.

seema ji give the file to avni and come with me

Seema ji: jee maharani sa.

Neela touched avni cheeks lovingly and left with seema ji

Avni: I will take vijay bhai and riya with me

She went to riya and vijay who were in riyas room chilling

when she entered the room she saw riya reading a magazine while vijay was busy on his phone but both stopped what they were doing when avni called them

Avni: guys lets go office

Vijay/riya: y office? Both said at the same time

Avni: well paa needed some important file and I told maa I will go as I haven't got anything to do and also would get a tour of the office so u guys coming or not

Riya; I don't mind only if we go shopping after this

Vijay: here we go again riya and her shopping spree I TELL U

Avni: ok let's go... vijay bhai u coming

Vijay: yh better than being alone.

Avni: k we should leave now... three of them left and headed towards the car.

The guards opened the door for them while vijay went up to the driver who was waiting for them

Vijay: Raghu u take a day off I will drive today

Raghu nodded and gave the keys to vijay.

Vijay took the driver's seat while avni sat at the front and riya at the back.

he started started to drive moved out of the palace with the guards behind them in another car

however on the other end of the palace there was someone sitting in a car.. away from the royal eyes and he picked his phone to call. (same stranger who avni saw at the palace)

Stranger: boss right now the three young royals left the palace in a car.

Boss: did they have guards behind them

Stranger: yes boss in another car

Boss: well u know what to do

Stranger: but boss they have guards

Boss: u fool they have guards around them every time but this is the great opportunity but remember if u get caught then I don't know u and u don't me... now get started.

Stranger: yes boss the stranger cut the call and threw his phone on the passenger seat and speeded up to follow the royal's car.

However the stranger was thinking how to fully his task because he had to find a perfect opportunity.

In 20 minutes vijay stopped the car at the entrance of the office and the guards over there quickly opened the door for them...

three of them entered the office and went to the receptionist but before they could reach there the manager spotted them and called out to them.

Manager: hello rajkumar vijayendra singh, rajkumari riya and yuvrani avni. We are happy to see you.

Avni: thank you but can you tell us where our dad is

Manager: yuvrani sa he is in the conference room with mahraj prakash come I will take you there and he took the three royals to the conference room where prakash and ashish were discussing about some deal.... both were surprised and happy to see them.

Prakash : what a pleasant surprise to see u all here

Riya: thank uncle we came here to give dad the file he needed

Ashish : three of you of just came to give one file he said raising his eyebrows and smiling at the same time

Vijay: no mamu saa in fact we didn't even plan to come here but avni was bored and she heard mami sa telling one of the staffs to send this file to u but avni volunteered to go and also told us to come so we can take a tour of the office but then riya was like we should go shopping after this so here we r.

Riya: thanks for giving the detail she said sarcastically while vijay rolled his eyes.

Avni gave the file to ashish while prakash told the manager to come back to the conference room.

Prakash : Ramesh(manager) please give them the tour around the office

Ramesh: yes sir.

He opened the door and let the royals leave the conference room.

After a good 30 minutes avni, riya and vijay got to see what the office looked like and finally decided to leave for shopping...

they were just walking to the reception area when three of them saw neil walking in talking to his hotel manager on the phone.

Neil saw them and after giving instruction cut the call and walked towards them.

Neil: what a pleasant surprise to see u all here. But how comes you all are here at the office ? He said hugging riya and vijay and then moved to avni giving her a side hug and gave a small kiss on the forehead and stood beside her

Riya: actually neil the thing is... and she told him y they came here and where they were going after this.

Neil: not fair princess u decided to take a tour of the office but I wonder when you will come to my hotel...but I promise when u do then I will give the best tour to u personally and even u know that...

avni cheeke slightly turned red as she knew what neil was talking about.

Avni: of course I do but I will also make sure that even the others come so they know what it's like when yuvraj neil khanna gives a tour of his hotel personally. Right neil?...she said with a naughty smile while neil smirked.

Neil: k u guys enjoy I need to see dad and ashish uncle .

He hugged avni but then

Neil: I will answer u back in my own way later on... he whispered

with that he moved to riya and vijay and then left to the conference room...

they got into the car while the guards followed in another however they didn't notice someone was following them.

In the car avni was sitting side ways in the car looking at riya who was telling her the things she was planning to get while vijay rolled his eyes

Vijay: seriously riya u go shopping every time but u get so excited as if its ur first time shopping.

He looked at avni and winked at her

Avni: I think ur right vijay bhai just think how ali feels when he goes shopping with riya. she said looking at riya from the corner of her eye

Vijay: I TELL U... poor ali

Riya: me and ali haven't gone shopping together yet she said glaring at both of her siblings
.
Avni: thank god ali is saved otherwise I wonder how he would survive with ri and both vijay and avni started to laugh while riya was getting irritated.

Riya: vijay bhai tell di not to talk to me she said crossing her hands and looking outside the window...

avni looked at riya and vijay looked at her through the rear view mirror and saw her giving a small pout

Avni: and y is that she said raising her eyebrows

Riya: because u think im that bad that ali cant survive with me and u guys think me taking him shopping or somewhere is like he is going to hell .

Avni: hey that's not fair vijay bhai teased u but u didn't stop speaking to him but u stopped speaking to me and by the way I didn't say anything like him going anywhere with u would be like hell

Riya: because vijay bhai is like that but u should be on my side but no u joined in his team

Avni: ri u r being childish now

Riya: no im not.

Avni: fine. And with that she sat properly on her seat and also looked out of the window while vijay smiled looking at them knowing very well that both cant stay away from talking to each other especially riya...

they reached to the shopping mall and vijay, riya and avni got out of the car and he gave the car key to one of the guard while the other two followed.

Meanwhile the stranger also reached to the mall and saw the three royals walking into the mall with two guards behind them

Stranger: I have to do my job before I lose the opportunity but how can I do it with so many people around me.... I have to do everything from outside the mall...

suddenly he remembered something and looked for something in the back seat and after finding it parked his car outside the main road and walked back to the entrance of the mall

Inside the mall vijay, avni and riya were looking at clothes.

Riya was looking at one of the outfits and was tempted to ask avni how she will look in it but stopped as she remembered she is angry on her.

They had been shopping for an hour now and avni received a call from one of her friends who was studying with her and juhi in abroad and she answered it

Avni: hey varsha how r u? hold on I cant here u properly... she then turned towards vijay and riya. vijay bhai im going outside to speak as im not getting proper network.

Vijay: k but take a guard with u.

avni nodded and headed out of the mall finally she got network and started to speak to one of her friend while the guard stood away from her. The stranger had covered himself with a shawl and saw avni outside talking on the phone and he lifted his file up pretending to read it however in the middle of the file was a big hole where he placed his gun to aim at avni

he remembered his boss had told him that he needs to shoot avni but also make sure that she doesn't die

avni turned towards the guard: tell vijay bhai and riya that I will be waiting outside for them

guard: but yuvrani sa. Rajkumar ji told me to stay with u

avni: don't worry u go...

the guard however was worried leaving avni alone but went to call vijay as he was told he just walked few steps when he heard avni shout in pain

the stranger took a deep breath seeing the guard walking away making his work more easier...

he slowly released the trigger to shoot at avni standing alone and BOOM the bullet was shot on avni arm seeing his work done he quickly ran away from there.

avni who was holding her phone in her left hand turned slightly only to feel something sharp in her she closed her eyes in pain while her phone fell from her hand... the guard who was going to call vijay ran to avni.

The security guard who was dealing with one of the customer also came running to avni when he heard her shout

Guard: yurvrani sa sit here he said making her sit in the corner and looked at avni who was holding her left arm tightly in pain.

He didn't know what to do as one guard was inside while the other one was in the car...

he then turned towards the security guard and told him to wait here till he calls the other two royals and with that he ran inside...

vijay who was with riya in the perfume store was coming out when they saw the guard running towards them with a worried look.

Vijay: kishen (guard) what r u doing here?...u should u be with yuvrani avni he said sternly.

Guard: ra...rajkumar ji...yuv... yuvrani sa... was on the phone and she told me to tell you and rajkumari riya that she will be waiting outside for u so I was about to come and tell u and just as I took a few step someone shot yuvrani sa on her arm...

Riya who was holding some shopping bag in her hand dropped them on the floor and went all pale while vijay was shocked with his eyes wide opened.

he turned to riya and saw her face going pale.

he took her hands and both ran to see avni while the two guard picked up the shopping bags quickly and ran behind them once reaching outside they saw avni sitting in a corner with one of the security guard and her eyes was slowly closing due to the bullet.

They saw avnis phone on the floor broken as she dropped it when she got shot.

While some other people gathered just to see the scene

Vijay went towards avni and put his arm around her shoulder whereas riya just stood there still in shock.

Vijay: avni open ur eyes he said trying not to break down... he was patting her cheeks and saw that she could barely keep her eyes open...

he looked at one of the guard and said...

Vijay: tell gulshan (other guard who parked the car) to bring the car FAST. Kishen nodded and quickly ran to the parking area and told gulshan to bring the royals car.

soon vijay lifted avni in his arm and placed her on the back seat... he was about to sit in the passenger seat when he noticed riya was still standing there he went up to her and took her in to the car and placed her at the back beside avni.

Vijay: gulshan drive to the nearest hospital quick ... gulshan nodded and started driving to the nearest hospital which was sanjeevani...

Riya was looking at a unconscious avni whose arm was covered with a lot of blood now she put her arms around avni shoulder and hugged her tightly silently crying...

vijay looked at his phone and knew he had to tell the others. He called the palace phone when seema ji answered it and he told her to give it anyone around there...

seema saw diksha in the hall reading a magazine and went to give the phone to her.

Diksha: hello

Vijay : mom avni... diksha sat straight when she heard vijay's voice

Diksha: beta y r u sounding like this and wt about avni beta

Vijay: mom... avni... avni... mom avni he said trying to get the word out... tears were rolling down his eyes but he couldn't break down otherwise riya will also break down even more

Diksha: VIJAY WHAT ABOUT AVNI SPEAK UP FOR GODSAKE she said getting up from the couch.

Neela and dayawanti who just walked in after attending an event heard diksha shouting and saw how annoyed she looked

Vijay: mom avni got shot he said slowly.

Diksha was shocked she stood still for a moment and seeing this neela and daya got worried.

Diksha: what? She said still not able to believe what vijay said

vijay: haan mom we r taking her to the hospital

diksha: which hospital?

Vijay: one min he turned to gulshan to ask which hospital they r heading to... mom we r going to sanjeevani hospital and please inform bebe, juhi and shweta aunty .

Diksha: k we will be there.

Diksha hung up and looked at neela and dayawanti with teary eye she walked up to them and held their hand

Neela: diksha? She said worriedly also holding diksha hand tightly... diksha took the courage and told them

Diksha: vijay and riya r taking avni to sanjeevani hospital .. she got shot. Neela let go of diksha hand and looked at her shockingly

Neela: what r u saying diksha... is this some kind of joke she said almost raising her voice

Diksha: no bhabhi sa vijay and riya r taking her to the hospital now. We need to go there our daughter needs us. She said holding neela shoulder

Neela: avni she said her name slowly thinking about what her condition would be she looked at diksha and then at daya

Dayawanti: we should go to the hospital right now she said stopping her tears... seema ji call doctor saab and tell him to reach sanjeevani hospital... seema ji who was behind them nodded and all three ladies left to go to the hospital and on the way diksha had called shweta and told her what happened to avni and also got to know that juhi is at the hospital working right now

Meanwhile in the car vijay kept looking at avni and riya and saw how riya was keeping her hand on avni wound from letting more blood out but also saw how riya hand was slightly covered with blood...

he realised he had to call ashish , prakash , and especially neil ...he was nervous thinking about his reaction but he had to.

He called on ashish phone and decided to tell them together and finally ashish answered

Ashish : hey vijay beta how is shopping going for u three...Im sure riya must have bought the whole mall... he was sitting in prakash office with neil and prakash ... vijay closed his eyes taking a deep breath

Vijay: mamu sa is prakash uncle and neil banna there with u... ashish was kind of confused the way vijay was sounding

Ashish : yes they r here with me he said looking at neil and prakash

Vijay: can u put the phone on loud speaker please.

Ashish : what happened vijay

Vijay: mamu sa please put the phone on loud speaker and u will find out . ashish did as he was told and neil and prakash were listening.

Ashish : beta the phone is on loud speaker

Vijay: mamu sa, neil, prakash uncle... avni got shot on her arm at the mall...

neil felt something squeeze in his heart... while ashish who was standing stumbled but prakash held on to him. Neil banged his fist on the table

Neil: what the hell was the guard doing he said with fire in his eyes

Vijay: neil banna control urself first come to sanjeevani hospital and I will tell u everyth... before vijay continued neil left from the cabin and ran straight to his car and pushed his driver away speeding away to the hospital...

Ashish: we r coming he said and ended the call

he could see a slideshow in black and white in front of him of the times he spent with avni while prakash and ashish got into another car.

Ashish in the car: we have to do something about these guards now .

Prakash : ashish relax first lets find out how all this happened and then come to conclusion.

Finally vijay and riya reached to the hospital...

vijay went straight to avni side and carried her running inside the hospital while riya was behind them...

juhi who was at the reception speaking to the nurse was shocked to see vijay carrying avni ...

one of the ward boy came with a stretcher as doctor uncle had called the hospital to inform them about to keep everything ready for avni 's operation...

vijay placed avni on the stretcher and they started taking her to the operation room...

juhi still couldn't believe the scene and saw riya walking inside the hospital... she quickly went to her and held her by her shoulder.

Juhi: riya what happened to avni ... riya looked at juhi and slowly more tears started to stream down her face and she hugged juhi breaking down

Riya: avni di... my di... juhi broke the hug and cupped riya face.

Juhi: riya what happened to avni ? She asked trying to control her tears.

Riya: di got shot juhi. She got shot and with that juhi hugged riya tightly silently crying.

It had been 30mins since doctor saab was in the operation room with Dr kirti. Whereas dayawanti, neela, diksha had arrived followed by shweta and bebe ...

soon neils car came to a screeching halt outside the hospital entrance and he didn't even care about parking it and rushed inside while after few minutes ashish and prakash came out of the other car and rushed into the hospital and saw neil at the reception shouting at a scared receptionist

Neil: WHERE IS YUVRANI AVNI

Receptionist: sh...she...is... In... the...opp...opper...opperation...theatre... on... th...the... thir... Third floor... she said gulping her saliva... but took a sigh of relief when he moved away from there...

prakash and ashish were with him and three of them got into the lift together... as soon as they reached to the third floor neil got straight to the third floor and they saw Neela standing near the door of the operation room with shweta consoling her...

while diksha and bebe was sitting with dayawanti who was lost thinking about avni ,

juhi hugging a crying riya and stroking her hair to calm her down...

while vijay was leaning against the wall with his hands folded thinking how did avni get shot and WHO was it.

Neil who saw vijay went up to him and held his collar making vijay jerk out his this thought...

everyone turned their attention to neil and vijay

Neil: who did this? He said dangerously

Vijay: neil banna calm down even I don't know avni bhai went outside when she received a call and after the guard came telling us what happened to avni... hearing vijay mention about the guard his anger increased

Neil: where is the guard who was with avni

Vijay: neil banna its best if u don't talk to the guard right now

Neil: y?... it's the guards duty to protect the royals and if they cant do that there is no point of them working for us... he was there but he still couldn't protect avni .

Vijay: I know but the guard told us avni was the one who sent him away as she told him to inform us about her meeting us outside the mall since she received a call and due to low network she was outside the mall... the guard even said he cant leave her alone but u know how stubborn avni is she made him go and that person probably got the opportunity and this happened to avni he said looking at the operation room

Ashish : this happened at the mall vijay did u check the cctv

Vijay: mamu sa I had called commissioner uncle on the way and he told me that he will send someone to the mall straight away... im sure they should find something in the video

Prakash : for now we should only be thinking about avni ... how is she

Vijay: well the doctor came out along with doctor uncle and he said avni lost a lot of blood but luckily mami sa came on time and she was able to give some blood as hers and avni matched.

Ashish looked towards neela and riya to see them completely shattered... he went up to riya and stroked her hair.

Riya looked up. ashish felt really bad seeing his little angel crying while his other angel was inside that operation room... riya quickly got up and went into her dads arm

Riya: dad di... If we didn't go shopping this wouldn't have happened... y r they taking long I want to go with her. I want to speak to her pleases dad tell doctor uncle to allow me in

Ashish : shhh beta... don't cry u r my little angel right.. the doctors will bring out avni soon... he said rubbing her back to calm her down as he knew how much riya loves avni

he then made her sit next to juhi and went to neela and placed his hand on her shoulder...

shweta moved away from there went where neil was and stroked his cheeks knowing how her son is trying to hide the pain.

Neela: ashish why did this happen to avni ... she has never intended to harm anyone then y would someone do this to her

Ashish: neela. Calm down we need to be strong for our children... and about who did this I hope we find out soon.

Finally after an hour doctor kirti and doctor uncle came outside and everyone got up seeing them

Dayawanti: doctor saab how is my avni now

Doctor uncle: she is fine now rajmata ji. dr kirti finally managed to get the bullet out though it went quite deep into her arm making her lose so much blood.

Bebe silently prayed thanking god

Dr kirti: but yes she needs to take rest until her arm doesn't get better and u all need to make sure she doesn't put much pressure on her left arm.

Riya: dr can I meet my sister
.
Dr kirti: not now first we will shift her into a private room. But for the next 24 hour she will be sleeping as we gave her an injection and after that u all can meet her then

Riya: please dr we will see her for few minutes and then leave we promise we wont disturb her... dr kirti looked at dr uncle who nodded his head

Doctor saab: ok u all can meet her but please make sure u don't try to wake her up.

All nodded and soon she was shifted into a private room...

At that time they was able to hear the media crowd dd and doctor uncle went to calm it down

first diksha, daya and bebe went inside to see a sleeping avni surrounded with few machines and seeing her like this bought tears in their eyes... daya stroked her hair before leaving,

after ashish and neela came inside... neela and ashish felt like hugging avni tightly but they kissed her on the forehead. Neela broke down but ashish consoled her and took her away

after prakash , juhi and shweta came in

juhi was silently crying seeing her friend like this who was sleeping peacefully not know about how others r feeling...

After few minutes riya and vijay came in and

Riya sat on the seat next to bed and held avni right hand.

Riya: wake up soon di.. I cant see u staying quite like this please ...ur baby sister needs u...I promise I will speak to u. vijay put his hand on her shoulder and was looking at avni .

Vijay: get well soon avni and haan I hope u r dreaming about us he said to a sleeping avni while riya smiled a little bit... come riya neil needs to come in to see avni he said .

Riya nodded and both left.

Neil slowly entered the room he sat down next to her and looked at the machine surrounded around her and then moved his gaze on her left arm he caressed her cheeks he then bent towards her ears and whispered

Neil: you are going to get a lot scolding from me tomorrow princess so be ready... he then kissed her forehead and held her hands for few mins.... after a while he got up after glancing at her for the last time and then left from there

Precap:
Avni : neil I don't want to eat this... but she stopped speaking when neil looked at her sternly and without arguing she took the slice of apple from his hand.

Phew . I never expect this story to get popular this quick
