Shweta:chalo we will leave now as we be coming back tomorrow to give shagun to both avni and riya

Ali:we just came 10 mins ago

Neil:exactly he said but stopped when all looked at him and Ali

While riya and avni looked at each othe trying to control their laughter  

Ashish:i guess we should allow them to spend time together otherwise they wont be able to sleep at night he said teasingly 

Ragini:vidyut u coming?

Vidyut:uhh actually

Juhi;aunty let him stay otherwise I'll get bored as love birds will be busy with each other

Vidyut thanked the stars for bringing that idea in juhi while avni and riya glared at juhi for saying that

The elders of khannas said good bye to the metha family...

The metha family excused themselves leaving the youngsters in the hall

Avni:sooo????

Neil: what so?

Avni:I dont know u should no as u and Ali didnt want to leave

Neil:so u wanted us to leave

Avni:I didnt mean that

Ali:then what did u mean

Riya:she didnt mean Anything she is just asking what do u want to do as u guys were like it has only been 10 mins since u came and r leaving now while Neil agreed

Avni: exactly ..

Neil:what exactly couldn't u just come to the point

Avni:arien..that was been to the point its not my fault if  u dont understand

Vidyut and juhi looked at each other seen  these 4 were arguing

Vidyut:stoppp guys.. u wanted to spend time so spend time y waste it in arguing

Juhi:exactly I mean if u dont want to then it's best for u guys to leave then chalo avni and riya let's go up

Ali:no no no we r spending time..come riya he said taking her hands 

Neil:let's go he said placing a hand behind avni back gesturing her to walk ahead going out

Vidyut and juhi looked at each other and laughed giving a hifi

5 min later avneil reached to the garden which was quite big...Neil saw avni take her shoes off and sit down ...she looked up to see Neil still standing

Avni:what ? Do u just plan to stand like this?

Neil:no he said smiling

Avni:then sit na she said 

Neil rolled his shirt sleeves and sat next to her.

Avni:do u know enjoying the cool breeze and looking at the stars at night is the best feeling she said laying down while Neil looked at her

Neil: well yes stars can only be seen at night avni not in day times as far as my knowledge

Avni:very funny she said rolling her eyes at him making Neil chuckle and laid down next to her

Meanwhile in the kitchen juhi was making coffee for her and vidyut while vidyut was stealing glances at her now and then

Vidyut:*ahem* so juhi tell me something about yourself

Juhi looked up at vidyut and smiled

Juhi:what do u want to know?

Vidyut: anything .

Juhi:ok so hi I'm juhi... was a orphan but metha family gave me so much love that it never made me feel like I never had a family.. bestie of avni..work at sukhoon that   which is an orphanage  for  kids.

Vidyut:in a relationship ?

Juhi:nope totally single  .

Vidyut: i see he said getting happy from inside.

Juhi:yup

Vidyut:chalo let me give u my intro

Juhi:arien no need I searched u up on the internet itse...she stopped speaking and  bit her tongue thinking she is mad for telling him that

While vidyut was surprised and Raised an eyebrow

Vidyut:and y were u searching about me on the net

Juhi:coffee is ready.. u wait here I'll just go and call at the orphanage to see if everything is ok

Vidyut:juhi he called out making her stop and walked towards her while she didnt turn around

As he reached near her he leans towards her ears and she was able to feel his chest touching her back and his breath falling on her ears.

Vidyut: u dont have to he embarrassed..I'm glad u was searching me up on the net he said teasingly. ..while juhi was looking down with a nervous smile playing on her face

Meanwhile in riya room Ali held riya hand while they sat on her bed

Ali:u dont know how happy I am that soon we will be getting married I thought u will never be able to know about my feelings at all thanks to our family u found out

Riya:Ali u could have just told me once

Ali:I know but then I was thinking what if u didnt feel that way and I didnt want to lose your friendship by any chance he said placing his other hand on top of riya

Meanwhile back in the garden

avneil were laying on the grass looking at the sky..

Neil turned to look at avni seeing her smiling while looking up

Neil:what's making u smile so much?

Avni : just like that. She said smiling even more while Neil frowned and turned facing her

Neil:and I dont seem to believe that

Avni looked at Neil

Avni:that's not my problem Mr Neil Khanna

Neil: u have to tell soon to be Mrs Neil Khanna... avni felt happy when Neil said and he saw how for a sec her eyes shined

Avni sat up turning towards Neil  while he stayed laying sideways with hand resting on head

Avni:I'm just smiling because all of this happened so quick as in us happened so quick.. like it hasn't been that long since u came back from London and then us meeting after all these years then u taking me out on a date along with how  we got to know our family had fixed our alliance... then u proposing and me accepting its like if someone had told me a month back that I'll be in a relation soon I would have laughed it on their face and would kept on going gaga over my prince charming .

Neil: well as they say things happen for good and u r lucky to have me as your soon to be life partner..

Avni:very funny that's because I said yes otherwise Neil khanna would have been in the headlines of been rejected she said laughing and was about to get up when Neil held her wrist pulling it, making her fall on him...her hand rested on his chest while face close to his

Neil looked at avni and tucked few strands of hair behind her ear making avni gulp

Neil: so u did have a thought to reject me he whispered making his breath fan avni face

Avni:no I didnt she whispered back after few secs while not breaking the eye lock....

Neil smiled rubbing his thumb against her cheeks making avni close her eyes as a small smile played on her lips.

He placed one of his hand at the back of her head moving her face closer to his while avni closed her eyes with her lips slowly parting 

Suddenly Neil phone rang making Neil close his eyes frustaingtly while avni smiled and got up wearing her shoes and controlling her heart beats which was beating fast

Neil took out his phone and looked at it to say dd

Neil: yes dd he said gritting his teeth while avni was trying to control her laugh noticing Neil annoyance..she started walking while Neil saw her go

Dd: sir jee I had called to u tell u that I have emailed u the case details

Neil:u could of messaged me dd he said getting up and started to walk fast to catch up to avni.

Dd:haan but sir jee I thought its important and what if u by chance forgot to see your emails or messages that y I called

Neil:well thank u dd bye

Before dd can reply Neil cut the call and called out to avni

Avni turned around smiling at him naughtily while walking backwards...Neil noticed that look as he extended his hand to hold her she turned and ran in while Neil followed

Neil:avni wait he said

Juhi who was gulping her saliva as vidyut kept connecting their talks to her searching him up sighed in relief when she heard Neil voice

Juhi: seems like they r here she said leaving the kitchen asap while vidyut shook his head and followed

Avni:hey she said seen juhi come out while vidyut followed

Neil:not fair avni first dd disturbed when I nearly found a chance u decided to mess about he spoke in a low voice so that only avni can hear

Avni:Neil I really dont know what u r talking about she said in the same tone as Neil...pretending to sound clueless

Neil:dw soon I'll show u what I mean he said knowing very well that avni knew what he was talking about.

Avni:vidyut I hope juhi didnt bore u

Juhi:avniiii she said glaring at her

Vidyut:of course not in fact i got to know many things from her... he said looking at juhi who gave him a nervous smile and then looked away.

Avni:where is riya and Ali.

Juhi:, saw them going up but not sure if they r at the terrace or in her room

Avni:lets go and see them and become a haddi she said naughtily and hi fi juhi while the boys looked at each other and then followed the girls.

They slowly opened the door and looked around to see aliya standing at the balcony while their interiwned hand was on the railing and both were staring at each other.

Riya:thank u for the ring Ali its beautiful

Ali: not more than u he said smiling her

Avneil, vidhi: awwwww they said at once

Aliya turned to look at their siblings standing in the room giving them a teasing smile 

Ali:when did u all come

Neil:when u was busy staring at each other

Avni:how sweet Ali u find riya more beautiful than the ring.

Riya: avni its nothing like that

Juhi:come on riya we heard Ali say that and wait y has your cheeks gone too red.

Riya:no they havent she said trying to sound normal

Avni:offo juhi come on understand na she is blushing plus we disturbed her romantic moment

Riya:avniiiiiiiii

Avni:I know my name is avni

Vidyut:wasien Ali u r smart we didnt even realise when u even bought a gift for riya

Neil: chupke wala pyar vidyut

Ali: Arien guys come on we have to reach home to na... everyone will be waiting come on let's go... bye girls he said waking towards the door and headed down while all cracked up and looked at riya who facepalmed herself

As the guys were getting in the car they were looking at the girls... Neil gave avni a teasing smile then moved his gaze down to her lips and then back up making avni look away with her lips parted as if she didnt understand his gesture but her action gave it away that she very well understood 

Vidyut took out his phone and waved it at juhi while she looked at the screen seen Google was on and cursed herself for mentioning she searched him up knowing this teasing session will continue

Whereas Ali gave a dreamy smile to riya and waved at her slowly.

As the boys left after the girls looked at each other

Riya:now u both r so dead she said and ran after juhi and avni due to them teasing her

The next day

Avneil and aliya were made to sit together

Shweta had moved to avneil while bebe handed her the lal chunri

Shweta: Neil beta touch this chunri please. Neil nodded and placed his hand on top of the chunri

Juhi:aunty y does Neil have to touch it ?

Ragini:beta its touched by the groom as it's a ritual as it means that the girl only belongs to him..

Neil looked avni and elbowed her arm while she smiled without looking at him

Juhi:ohhh 

Shweta placed the chunri over avni head and kissed her forehead

She then did tilak on avni and then gave her an envelope to avni which contained money...after that one of the workers came up with a big plate of shagun which contained saree, dupatta ,married women sybomls which where  sindoor,bangle,jwellery,kajal,make up kits,fruits,dry fruits,termeric,small amout of rice,gold ornament 

After that neela came and did tilak on Neil...she then gave a tray of dry fruits, clothes,
perfume,soap, God idol and many other useful things for him

Avneil got up and took their families blessing

Hetal then moved to Ali and did his tilak while handing him his shagun which contained a lot of useful things for him but what touched him more was the photo frame of metha family along with evelope, clothes,frutis, gold chain...and many other things

(Remember Khanna family is Ali family and shweta and ragini r both mothers for him )

Shweta did riya tilak and then ragini handed the envelope with money and idol.. with make up items, clothes , all jewelry, gold chain, bracelet ,God idol and many more which was similar to avni

Aliya then got up to take blessings and soon Pandit ji arrived

At the end bebe and daywanti gave them four
And family ancestral jewellery while Neil and Ali got a gold ring avni and riya got gold bangles

Precrap:Neil:avni meet my friend shanaya we studied at the same college

Avni:hey shanaya

Shanaya:hey avni... I hope Neil told u about me

Avni:no as far as I remember he told me nothing  she smiled warmly

Shanaya:how mean Neil u didnt even tell your would be wife about me she said teasingly punching his chest slightly

Neil:no I did remember avni on our date we asked each other if we was in a relation...shanaya was the girl I dated but it didnt work out and we preferred staying as friends he said pulling shanaya Cheeks

Avni:ohhh she said eyeing  Neil pulling shanaya cheeks..not knowing why she felt odd

Shanaya:come on Neil where r the rest it's been long since I met shweta aunty and all and also u need to introduce me to avni family too

Neil:yes come he said...shanaya held his hand and dragged him in and avni looked on Seen then holding hands

Avni:he didn't even tell me that the girl he dated was his friend and look at him how he was pulling her cheeks..but y shall I care they r only friend na.. she said with a hint of jealousy 

as she walked in her nose flared up with her arms crossed as she noticed how Neil and shanaya where laughing about something while talking to neela and shweta but what irked her more was seen Neil's hand around shanaya shoulder.
