(Avneil loved each other and got married. Neil is an army officer. He left for his mission after 2 days of marriage but never returned.)

Scene starts with a lady arranging her cupboard. She kept her clothes and accessories neatly. Just then a photo fell from her belongings. She picked up the photo. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She caressed the person in the picture.

I know who are alive.. and you will surely return to me one day.. I am waiting for you Neil.. your avni is waiting for you..

The picture is of avneil and the lady is avni.

She wiped her tears and kept the picture in the cupboard and went downstairs. She greeted her family.

Shweta looked at her and waited for the answer she asked her yesterday. Avni looked at Shweta and shook her head slightly.

I have decided.. I am not going to marry again.

But avni.. spoke shweta. But avni cut her off.

At least in this life it is not possible for me to move on..

But why.. shouted Shweta.

Because I love my Neil and can never give his place to anyone.

But avni till when you will wait.. you also have your life to live.. you still have time to move on.. please.. requested Bebe. They asked her n number of times but her decision was the same.

My love for my Neil is strong enough to let me live my life only with his memories. I am getting late I have to attend few meetings.. bye.. and goes.

God knows what will happen next.. said prakash who was sad with her decision.

She came home at 9 and went to her room. Bebe was waiting for her. She sent her to sleep. She changed her clothes and sat on the bed caressing Neil's picture.

Tomorrow is my birthday.. Neil you will come na.. and smiled sadly.

She slept.

At 12 am.
Everyone gave her a surprise party and celebrated her birthday. But avni's smile was still lost somewhere. But for the sake of her family she smiled. Little did she know that her family knew her very well and can understand the pain behind her fake smile.

Ali and Riya came with their son Abhi and wished her. The 2 year old Abhi played in avni's arms.

Whenever she saw him she only thought of her and Neil's baby. If Neil would be there then her family would be complete.

I know you still love Neil.. but avni.. Avni stopped Riya.

I know where are you heading to.. but my decision will never change.. said avni in a firm voice.

Avni.. 5 years and still you are not ready to move on..

I will never and goes.

Riya worries. She couldn't see her sister in pain. The loneliness was eating her up. Day by day she was becoming more self preserved. She wished happiness for her sister.

Where are you Neil.. I am waiting for you.. said avni looking up at the sky.

She remembered his words.

I am going.. but don't worry I will return for sure.. that's my promise.

Neil you forgot your promise..?
And cried bitterly.

This scene was witnessed by everyone standing near the door. They felt bad but they were helpless.

Next morning.

Avni was reading a magazine. Just then vidyut entered.

(He is Neil's best friend cum brother. He also works in army department.)

Avni sees him entering and greets him. Everyone came down. Vidyut wishes him and hugs her.

Happy birthday bhabhi..

Thanks.

Well.. I have a gift for you.

Avni smiles.

Vidyut turns a bit so avni could see near the door. She turned her gaze towards the door and was beyond shocked.

There he was.. her hubby.. standing in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes. She continuously looked at him. Neil also looked at her. He was badly missing her.

Tears started flowing from avni's eyes. She was standing there like a statue without blinking. Neil smiled and opened his arms wide. Avni ran to him and hugged him tightly.

Neil.. avni whispered.

Avni..

Everyone were in tears. She hugged him more tightly.

I knew you would come back..!!

I had to.. how can I live without my avni.. saying his Neil kissed her on her hairs.

They broke apart.

Avni was still sobbing. Neil wiped her tears.

Don't cry yaar.. please for me..

Avni wiped her tears.

Where were you haa.. why didn't you return.. if something must have happened to you then.. you never care for me.. don't talk to me.. she says while continuously hitting him on his chest while Neil wrapped his arms around her waist.

Sorry..

No..

Please..

No.

Ok then if you don't want to talk then I am going..

No no.. I am talking to you. She says cutely. Everyone chuckles.

They all sat. Neil told them that he was in his enemy's captive and after many difficulties they could return back. Everyone were in tears after listening to this.

But we should be proud of avni.. we thought that you are.. and shuts her eyes tightly.. but avni knew you are alive.. said Bebe. Neil looked at avni. He always failed to understand his girl. Her love only brought him back.

But now I will never leave her.. Neil says looking at avni and wrapped his right arm around her waist.

But I can't stay with you..

Everyone gets shocked.

What!!

My husband won't allow me to stay with you..

Everyone else except Neil understood that avni was teasing him.

You are married!! To whom?? Tell me his name.. how dare he agreed to marry you.. I will rip off his head.. said Neil fuming in anger.

His name is.. is.. Neil Khanna!!
And runs and stands behind Bebe.

It means this all was a joke.. I will not leave you.. and runs behind her. Avni runs away.

Bachao!! Avni shouted. (Help!!)

Hehe.. no one will help you.. saying this Neil smirked.

Avni ran away and Neil ran behind her. Neil stopped and winced.

Aahh!!

Avni stopped and came running to him.

Are you ok?? Are you hurt?? Says avni who was now concerned about his husband's health.

Neil gripped her wrist and pulled her and wrapped another arm around her waist.

I can also play tricks Mrs. Khanna. Tit for tat.

Avni pouted.

Neil left her and hugged her.

Happy birthday jaan.. Neil whispered in her ears.

This was my best birthday gift.
Said avni and hugged him tightly.
