Officer: ok u may go now but if needed we may have to call u again

Avni nooded and left the cell as she was walking towards the door to leave

Neil: avni I'll drop u

Avni:no need i came with dd in my car so I'll go u dont worry she said not turning around as she continued to walk

As she walked out she opened the car door but felt it close instantly and felt herself been turned around by neil

Neil:I'm dropping u means I'm dropping... u got it he said.

Avni:- I'm not a kid neil I know my way back she said frustratingly

Neil didnt answer her and grabbed her hand and took her toward the passenger seat and made her sit down while he moved to the passenger seat and drove out of the police station with a frustrated, upset avni and  a angry neil

10 mins later avni realised neil was not taking the route to the metha palace.

Avni: neil I want to go home so cancel wherever u plan to go and take the route to metha palace she said

Neil: will u stop been frustrated .

Avni: no... and can u tell me where the hell r u taking me

Neil:I'm not kidnapping u and what happened to u alll of a sudden that u r behaving this way

Avni: I dont feel the need to tell Just like how u dont feel the need to tell

Neil:like me? Princess I'm seriously not in the mood so can u please tell me clearly what r u trying to say he said trying to keep his cool

Avni:forget it ...there is no use in saying anything she said

Neil looked at her and shook his head as he speeded up

30 mins later they finally reached to the penthouse

Avni: y did we come here ? She said looking at him

Neil: let's go in first 

Avni:neil I want to go metha palace  please.

Neil: lets go in first he repeated...

Both looked at each other seriously...avni took a deep breath controlling her anger as she looked away...she opened the car door and closed it walking inside while neil watched her go as he got out of the car...neil walked in and closed the the door...he then walked over to avni who had her back facing him with arms crossed

Neil: what's wrong princess he said turning  her around

Avni:nothing has happened neil I just want to go home and have some time alone is that hard to ask for she sald annoyingly

Neil:no it's not but on the phone u spoke oddly and since I have seen u at the police station u have been behaving odd..if it was any other day I wouldnt have made u stay but today u r just behaving odd

Avni:oh I'm really sorry to make u feel that way neil...I have mood swings issue u see so just ignore it ok she said about to leave

Neil grabbed avni wrist and made her sit down as he hovered over her

Neil: dont give me these types of reply princess u know I dont like it he said seriously

Avni: so what do u want me to do then.

Neil: just tell me what is bothering u and we will be able to sort it out

Avni: sort it out my foot she mumbled

Neil: what did u say

Avni: nothing let me go now she said about to get up pushing neil a little away but he made her sit back

Neil:avn...he stopped speaking as his phone rang seen it was from the police station

Neil: wait here princess I'm not done with u...he said  moving away from there.

Avni sat there with her arms crossed as she watched neil angrily busy on the call

Avni (to herself) wait y am I even waiting here for him...no avni just leave u dont need to listen to neil...everything cant go the way he wants all the time she said to herself and looked at neil who was on the other side of the hall having his back towards her

Avni got up and looked at neil and opened the door leaving the penthouse.

Few mins later neil turned around once he ended the call

Neil: prince...but he stopped speaking when he found nobody except himself

Neil: avni??? He called out

thinking she might have gone to the garden area he went there  as he knew she didnt go upstairs since he was near the stairs but to his bad luck he didnt find her in the garden area

When he entered inside he saw the main door slightly open as he remembered closing it fully...he walked over to the main door and stepped outside when he realised avni car was not outside

He clenched his jaws and dialled avni number

Avni who was driving saw neil call but she decided not to answer it and continued driving.

As the call went on voice mail he decided to call again walking back inside

Neil: answer avni answer he said but again the call went onto voice mail

Neil threw his phone angrily  on the couch as he pushed his hair back in annoyance

He was thinking about avni changed behaviour which was bothering him ...while thinking he sat down with both his hands clasped together leaning forward when suddenly his phone rang he picked it up from the couch  to see it was juhi who called him

Neil:hey choti

Juhi: bhai did u find out anything from that guy ? Vijay bhai told me that avni had to go to the police station

Neil: haan commissioner uncle had to know if she had seen him before... also that nandu hasnt revealed anything yet.

Juhi: acha dont worry everything will be fine soon .

Neil:haan

30 mins later avni reached to the metha palace and slammed the car door annoyingly...she took a deep breath once she had entered inside seen dayawanti and neela sitting in the hall

Neela: bacha what happened at the police station did that guy say anything

At that time diksha came down

Avni:no maa he didnt say anything

Diksha: have u seen that guy before ? Like any other places randomly

Avni:no diksha bua not at all

Dayawanti: hopefully we will get to the bottom of this and find out y he has been doing this

All nooded

Avni: I have a headache so I want to go and rest for a bit if that's ok

Dayawanti:of course beta u can go

Once avni reached to her room she looked at her phone to see neil didnt call again

Avni: definitely must have gotten busy again she said shaking her head

She walked over to her dressing table and started brushing her hair recalling how everyone was going to try one last time to see if neil can some way reveal his feelings for her or at least confess but no neil decided to leave without telling like how he usually does and due to all this she is mad at him.

Avni: if I wanted I would have told u y I am behaving like this but I know I wont get an answer from u about your feelings and also there would be no point in telling u about not to leave without telling as u have done this many times knowing how I dont like it at all

Avni slammed the hair brush down

Avni:I shouldn't even be thinking about u but here my stupid brain and heart finds a way to think about u despite been angry with u ...i so hate u for this neil

She went towards her bed and laid down hoping to get some nap instead of thinking about Neil and after a while she didnt realise when she fell asleep

An hour later avni woke up with her phone ringing

Avni:hello she said answering sleepingly

Juhi: avni listen u need to get to the address I text u

Avni: what address ? and y do I need to be there?

Juhi: commissioner uncle  has found a link to nandu and he wants all of us to be there

Avni:link? What link ? And if he has found a link he should get his team there asap na

Juhi: i dont know I mean nandu opened his mouth and told  his partner in crime had plan to come and meet him at that address so the commissioner contacted us and he told us to be there so that when they catch the person then we all and especially u can see if u have seen the other person

Avni:oh but wont they get alert if they see the cars

Juhi: no bhai told me the police would park a little far and we will park away from the address to so that it feels like someone has gone to the next building

Avni:oh

Juhi: yes so reach there at 6pm ok

Avni: ok sure but who else is coming

Juhi: all of us youngsters ...I called vijay bhai and he said he and riya will reach directly as they have gone out at the moment so u make sure to reach here on time

avni:haan I will... just send me the address

Juhi : yes..I'll see u soon ok

Avni:yup

Juhi:bye

Avni:bye she said ending the call and decided to go and freshen up

At 5pm avni decided to leave just in case If there was traffic... she had told daya and neela as they were present who told her to be careful

Once entering the navigation onto the address she finally left following the route

Avni  finally reached to the place  10 mins earlier where juhi called her.

As she looked around she saw other big mansions nearby

Avni:y did juhi call me over here she wondered looking at the huge mansion in front of her not noticing the name plate on to her right ...she entered inside

avni: what place is this and y is it so dark ...juhi... where r u she said looking around 

Suddenly the door closed 

Avni: anyone here... riya.. juhi ....where r u all...r h all joking about?...i swear guys if this is a prank which u guys r playing with Vijay bhai then I won' spare u and that' a promise She said trying to find at least some light but it was just too dark 

She felt someone walk past her from the back making her turn around swiftly 

Avni: look if u think this is a joke then I'm seriously not up for it 

Voice: it's not a joke avni it's not at all the person said

Avni looked on as the person started to walk towards her not able to see the face clearly...as the person stood close to her she was able to recognise who it was with the smell of the  colegane

Avni: neil she said in a low voice which he heard...as soon as she said his name the lights turned on and there stood neil standing right in front of her with hands in his pocket and his usual smirk

Avni wanted to question him what all this was about but she decided not to and turned around to look for others  when she stopped in her track seen how walls behind her was decorated she slowly turned around looking around the place to see her pics along with few pics of her and Neil together when she stopped facing neil noticing the huge banner behind which said 

I love u you avni

Avni stood still seen the banner printed  that way as she wasnt able to believe it and stared at it while neil was staring at her all this time noticing her expressions

Neil took a step closer to avni and cupped her cheeks making her finally look at him

Avni: neil...this...I....ne...avni didnt know what to say and how to say it as she was still in shock not expecting neil to confess

Neil: shh u have spoken enough but  now it's my turn he said

Neil took avni hand intertwining their fingers and walked up the stairs taking her to the terrace...as he opened the door he allowed avni to walk first and then walked behind her while avni was in awwww with the way the terrace was decorated but what attracted her more was the way one big swing was decorated

Neil took avni towards the swings and made avni sit down while  Neil slowly kneeled down on his knees in front of her

Avni watched neil as he slowly started to push the swing from the front making it move back and forth and everytime  it would come near him he would push it again

Neil: avni metha u have been one  challenging person who would make me change my own decisions which nobody can make me do...when I was reminded about rokha at that time I wondered how would we get along since we never communicated all these years, what would u be like?, would we get along but when juhi had shown me your picture that time there was something..something that pulled me closer to u just by seen your picture...I didn't know what it was but it felt good ..then came the time when I finally saw u and u welcomed me by throwing water on my face... again there was something that pulled me towards u which I had never felt with any girl and at that time I thought I would marry u and even u would agree only to realise u found out late about rokha too....however I was anxious to know your reply and I felt a relief when u said u will give a change to this relation...I had thought maybe its attraction which is pulling me towards u but I was wrong ...when akash had entered and I realised that I feel more than attraction as I just didnt like any random guys been close to u yet I wasnt going to confess becusse i hardly share my feeling with anyone but today I had to...I didnt even like it when u spoke to ranveer and I dont care if u call it possessive or been over possessive but if that is what I am then I am because I cant see u be close to anyone but me.... I was literally happy when in your drunk state u confessed your feelings but yet u was stubborn like me to confess ...avni u mean the world to me I may not share my feelings but if u r in my life then that is because u r special... even if I dont say it but just know that I love u and always will .. I'm not good at confession speech and all but I said what came from my heart he said pushing the swing everytime it came near him while the wind blew avni hair as a tear rolled down her cheeks
