Vidyut:dont be plus we r with u.. acha neil how did your date go.

Neil filled vidyut while Ali went to see if Neil has any shirts which will suit him

After dinner all went to the metha mansion and rang the door bell

Madhavi:opened the door and was suprised seen the Khannas at this time

Neela:who is it madh... but she stopped speaking  seen the Khanna family walking towards her 

Neela:what a pleasant surprise

All who were sitting in the hall got up to greet the Khanna family.

Avni, riya were helping aman with one of his assignments looked up to see the Khanna family

Avni looked at Neil who was smiling at her widely while she smiled thinking y he is so happy

Dayawanti:u all should have came a little earlier to join us for dinner

Bebe: arien we can always continue that.some other time

Ashish:come and sit he said all sat down.

Neil was looking at avni now and then who was cutting something for aman project....avni turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows while he shook his head looking away.

She smiled confusingly and got busy cutting.

Ragini:, actually the thing is we came to ask for riyas hand

The scissors that were in avni hand fell while riya who was sketching something froze hearing her name..  Aman had his mouth in a o shape

Hetal and ketan looked at each other surprised

Hetal:for riya

Shweta:haan.. Riya hand with our son Ali

Ketan:ali? He said surprised

Ali got up and folded his hand

Ali :I ....I actually like riya since so many years but never got to tell her actually..actually not even like I Iove her... I know everyones  family would want there daughter/son to get married in a good family... as u all know my parents passed away when I was a kid and I'm lucky that I got another family he said looking at the Khanna family... but I promise uncle I'll always keep  riya happy and would never hurt her..

Ketan and hetal smiled while the rest were in awww with Ali who usually always talks nonsense spoke like this.. riya smiled while looking at Ali while having tears in her eyes

Ketan:even if u hadn't said all of that I would still know that u would keep  my daughter happy

Ali smiled but then got a little nervous looking at riya while failing to notice her smile

Ali:but what about Riya.. all turned to look at riya

Avni:riya is in the same state as Ali she said teasingly while Ali chuckled

Riya looked down shyly while avni moved to hug her

Ragini:I guess we got riya answer too.. so rishta pakka samjhien

Hetal:of course

They all hugged... riya and Ali  looked at each other smiling.

Shweta:here we planned to get avni and Neil alliance fixed but finalised Ali and riya...bhai at least u both tell us when r u going to finalise it she said looking at avni and then at Neil

Avneil looked at each other

Avni:aunty we still have time na.

Ragini:u have all the time in the world beta but just dont keep us hanging for too long u both.. avneil looked down smiling

Neela:so with that.lets celebrate.. madhavi bring some sweets

Madhavi came and gave some sweets... Neil took some and looked at everyone who was busy congratulating each other... he moved towards avni and elbowed her who was standing next to riya.

Riya smiled at Neil and moved away as hetal came to her to take so that she can take the  Khanna family blessing

Neil:here have some sweet he said forwarding the ladoo in his hand.

Avni smiled and took a bite

Neil: waisen dont u think u should thank me

Avni:for what

Neil:for this he said gesturing at aliya and the rest

Avni frowned and then her eyes widened

Avni:so u told them

Neil : yup .

Avni:wah I'm impressed.

Neil:I'm glad u r

Avni:well in that case here have some ladoo too she said taking the ladoo that was in his hand but then she got a little playful and stuffed the whole ladoo in his moth while Neil was suprised

Avni quickly moved away laughing while Neil was trying to empty his mouth and what seemed like ages he finally finished the ladoo that was in his mouth 

Neil gave avni a  *wait and watch* look while avni smirked and looked away 

Avni received a call from sukhoon ghar and went to answer it moving away from the others

She was busy telling Sunheri something and after five mins ended the call

As she tuned around she found Neil sitting in the lawn  watching her with a naughty smile 

Avni:Neil what r u doing here she asked 

Neil:pay back time avni

Avni:arien what do u mean pay back time I haven't even done anything she said walking backwards as Neil got up and walked towards her

Neil: u cant escape now avni

Avni:, what makes u think so she said..missing the playful expression

Suddenly avni felt her back hit the wall and Neil came closer to her and caged her

He was laughing from inside seen the way avni was nervous at it was written all over her face .. as he was enjoying teasing her

Avni:look neil

Neil:shhhh he said packing his finger on her lips    as soon as he touched her lips he felt like caressing it a little more... he was only teasing avni at the start but now he completely forgot about that lost in the moment

He felt avni stiffen when he traced her lips slowly.. he moved his gaze up and looked her in the eye making her gulp.. there is just something about her that makes him feel like this

neil: y does it feel like I'm falling for u avni.. or I'm already in love with u 

Avni was surprised 

Neil:u make me feel things that I have never felt before

Avni:like what... Neil moved closer to her and slowly wrapped his hand around her waist which made avni lip part slowly 

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and placed his hand on her jawline caressing it while avni closed her eyes..Neil moved his face closer and slowly captured her lips while he was caressing her waist now and then.. avni couldnt hold back and kissed him back slowly.. Neil pulled her even more closer as she responded back... he deepened the kiss as avni placed her hand around his neck...but due to less oxygen they had to end it .

Their forehead was still against each other and eyes closed

Neil:, this is what u do to me avni.. I was only only teasing u.. but as soon as I am closer to u I forget everything... u make me forget my surroundings avni metha... and I  now know my feelings for u r true... it may sound soon but I only knew I was happy been around u I didnt know what to name this feeling but now I know I can call this feeling  love because I never felt like this for anyone 

Avni opened her eyes as soon as Neil said that.

Avni:but I dont know yet Neil.. I like u..but

Neil:, shhhh... I understand avni... and you been with me is more than enough.. we had our first kiss.. and that means everything to me because u  reciprocated  to

Avni:this was actually my first kiss she said looking down.. him watching her so closely with forehead touching made her shy

Neil took both her hands and kissed and kissed her knuckles...avni looked at him smiling while her cheeks were still red

Neil:I'm glad that I'm the first one to give u your first kiss.. and I hope it was better than those fairy tale.   If not let me know we can probably improve.. avni smacked him playfully and ran away from there without looking back ....while neil smiled as he was on cloud 9 .

Neil came back to see Ali and riya sitting next to each other with the family talking about getting their wedding date fixed

Neil went and stood next to vidyut and looked at avni who was standing opposite him next to madhavi as she was avoiding eye contact with him

Vidyut:, where did u go

Neil:for a walk he said teasingly while vidyut shook his head smiling

Avni was able to feel Neil's gaze on her now and then but she dodnt dare to look at him after their first kiss.. as it like just make her feel things just by remembering it.

Soon the Khanna family were about to leave..Neil gave avni a phone signal while she shook her head...he smiled winking at her while taking neela blessing.

Avni tried to control her laughter and looked away

As soon as she reached to her room she closed the door and fell flat on her bed

She recalled how Neil placed his finger on her lips and the way he caressed it and then kissed her.. she slowly touched her lips as if able to still feel his touch and then covered her  face smiling shyly

Avni:I always imagined my first kiss would be done in a different way at the best location, all dressed, music playing in the background... my prince coming up to me and taking away my kiss in a blissful way.. however I had nothing of all those things here except one..and that was how u made me feel in heaven by taking away my first kiss.. just a mere touch of yours made something happen inside me and it was way much better than what I imagined.
