Thanks to all the lovely messages that u all sent me for my surgery guys. I love u all.. my insta and wattpad was full of everyone's  messages

Avni came and applied haldi on vidyut rubbing it on his forehead and cheeks...and after riya did and  pulled his cheeks and gave him a hug.

Neil came and applied  the haldi and hugged vidyut while vidyut applied a little bit on his face ....as dd came to apply haldi on vidyut poor guy couldnt escape as vidyut applied haldi on him

Neela: u all r applying  it on each other as if its holi

Ali:correct that's what we r actually thinking

All laughed ...Ali got up and applied it on the elders and avni and Aladdin joined him followed by the rest...avni was about to apply haldi on Neil but she backed away recalling their bedroom confrontation while the smile fell from his face seen her stopping and take a step back

As she was about to turn away  vidyut and Ali came stopping her and held her... unaware about the tension between avneil

Vidyuty:come on Neil apply haldi on Avni

Avni:guys what r u Doing leave me

Ali: not so easily. Chal neil what's taking u so long

Neil looked at avni.. while she was looking at vidyut and Ali ...he slowly walked to her and stood in front of her...

Avni was able to feel Neil in front of her yet she didnt look ahead and concentrated on trying to be freed from her two crazy friends when suddenly she felt Neil's hand move towars her face and rub haldi on both her cheeks

As Neil rubbed the haldi on her cheeks he saw her turn to face him while vidyut and Ali left since Neil applied haldi.. both looked at each other with different emotions

Neil:I'm sorry he said

Avni tried to control her tears and moved away his hands from her cheeks and started to walk where Aladdin was dancing with Riya and juhi while some were still applying haldi

Neil saw her walk away and sighed.

Neil:I'll make sure u talk to me avni... I'm not going to Give up

Soon some snacks were served so all were eating outside in the lawn

Shweta:what a crazy but fun haldi ceremony it was na she said taking a bite of her pakora

Ali: of course it would be shweta aunty after all when we crazy people r here then there will be only enjoyment

All laughed

Avni:I'm going to wash my hand does anyone want anything

Shweta:no beta everything is here dont worry

Avni nodded and left.

Avni:madhavi tai y r u not coming out yet she said entering the kitchen

Madhavi:just few mins avni frying the last portion of pakoras

Avni nodded and moved to wash her hands in the sink

Neil came in after a min and smiled at madhavi tai and then walked to avni

Neil:avni?

Avni straightened up while washing her hand as she heard his voice  but she didnt look at him

Neil:we need to talk... please he said in  a way that only avni can hear

Avni turned off the tap and dried her hands with the napkin

Neil:chatterbox r u listening to what I'm saying he said as his eyes furrowed seen avni walk over to madhavi tai

Avni: madhavi tai let me help u she said taking the juice tray while madhavi tai held the pakora plate

Neil frowned seen avni ignoring him completely ....as madhavi and avni walked out he banged his hand against the platform and pushed his hair back in frustration 

Avni and madhavi placed the stuff on the table and sat down with the rest  while few mins later Neil joined

After chatting for an hour and eating they all freshened up and then  decided to go to their respective house

Shweta:so chalo will see u all tomorrow

Avni:maa, bebe I wanted to ask u both something

Bebe:haan puttar ask us

Avni:woh since the wedding is taking place over here is it ok if I stay back at the metha mansion tonight to help out with all the arrangements

Avni:thank u

Bebe:dont worry I'll tell the driver to send your stuff ok..

Avni:ok it's all in one bag which is kept near the dressing table

Shweta:ok beta

Neil:great I thought I will be able to talk to avni once we go home but she decided to stay back.. now how will I talk to her he thought to himself

Prakash:neil chal

Neil:yes dad

Neil looked at avni who was busy talking to the rest.. as he turned to leave neela called out to him

Neela:arien neil If avni is staying back over here y dont u too

Avni looked at neela when she said that

Neil:gf actually...

Avni:neela ma let him go he must have work she said looking at neela not letting Neil complete his sentence

Neil looked at avni seriously

Neela :Arien bacha even if he has work he still can come back here later on too right

Aladdin: neela is right champ ..Neil u should stay back

Neil:ok ok if u all insist I'll defo stay back

Dayawanti: vasundra (juhi mom). We would be happy if juhi and u all stay back too as the bidaai will be happening from here

Neela:maa is right u 3 should stay back too

Vasundra:ok me and anand will go and get juhi bridal clothes and our clothes too

Nanno:that's fine.

Avni was annoyed.. she thought she can avoid Neil for sometime but no he wont leave her at her place too. But even she is determined to not speak to him

Riya : hey y dont u guys stay back too for a bit she said to vidyut and Ali

Ali:not a bad idea

Ragini;chalo vidyuty see u soon ok

As the elder left...the gang went and sat on the terrace 

Ali:so finally u two will be married the next morning

Juhi: is it ok to feel nervous ?

Vidyut:y.r u feeling nervous..I mean u r only marrying me not anyone else

Riya:all girls feel like this

Ali:and how do u know that?

Riya:because I'm a girl

Ali:really I didnt know that I thought I fell in a love with a guy

Avneil laughed at that slightly

Juhi:damn the bachelorette party was so funny I didnt expect we would be crazy like that and get drunk

Riya:true...especially us dancing like God knows what

Juhi:and us been tipsy especially avni

Vidyut:yeah it was a sight seen u girls like that but avni and Neil did u both get caught when u got home in that state

Neil:no not at all we were safe he said smiling

Avni:do u know one good thing and bad thing about getting drunk

Neil who was sitting opposite Avni looked at her..while she looked at others ignoring to look at Neil

Juhi:what avni ?

Avni: one good thing is that your real emotions comes out when u r drunk but then when u r back in sense u moan about the so called mistakes u make which is a bad thing  she said

Neil closed his eyes annoyingly knowing what avni was trying to aim at

Riya:true babes

Avni:I know anyways it was surprising to see u boys at the club

Ali:yup we didn't even know u girls were going to be there otherwise we could have planned something together

Riya:aww but even if we knew ...we would have done our own bit and not spend it with u guys

Juhi:exactly

Vidyut:well what did u do on that night 

Juhi:that was not our fault we had no choice

Avni:ok ok now the important thing...ali u r in charge of the food ok so make sure it comes on time as the marriage is in the morning

Avni:I'll help Aladdin to take care of other arrangements

Riya:I'll make sure that the beauticians comes on time

Neil:I'll see if all the items  that the Pandit ji needs has come

Juhi:damn u guys r the best friends ever 

Avni:that we know.

Vidyut:ok I guess we will leave then

Ali:same here

Avneil, juhi and Riya went down to drop both  to the main door...vidyut whispered something in juhi ear making her laugh which all found cute

once Ali and vidyut  left the rest came back in
 
Riya: let me make a call to this beautician  she said 

Juhi:wait I'll also come... need to ask few things too riya nodded and both left from there

Avneil were now alone

Neil:avni listen ...but before he could continue she left from there calling out to neela

Dayawanti:Neil beta what's wrong y r u standing here alone

Neil:woh nothing dadi..umm I'll just go to the police station for a bit..will be back later on

Dayawanti: ok beta

Avni was watching this from upstairs and saw Neil leave.. she closed her eyes trying to reduce the lump in her throat

Time went quickly all were making sure that the arrangements r done well as the mansion had to be decorated properly after all there was a wedding next day

Riya and avni made juhi try her bridal dress which her parents bought back so that if there was any changes to be made it could be done asap

Around 7pm while the decorators were doing their work outside all decided to have dinner and that's when Neil walked in

Neela:Neil beta right on time go and freshen up in avnis room and then come down for dinner

Neil nodded and went up and then came down after few mins and sat next to avni

As the food was been served avni was able to feel Neil look at her now and then casually while he was making sure to talk to the others at the same time

No matter how she much she would avoid it ...his words would keep echoing around her head

After dinner Neil and Aladdin were checking how the decorators were doing and were also helping them

Avni was in riya room along with juhi and soon fell asleep or let's say pretended to sleep so that she doesn't have to see Neil when she goes to her room

Neela came In to see avni sleeping while riya and juhi were getting ready to sleep

Neela:r u sure u 3 will be ok on one bed.. u can wake avni up so she can sleep in her rook   or I'll get the other room ready

Juhi:its fine aunty we will be very comfortable she said

Neela:ok then goodnight she said to both the girls and closed the door as riya closed the lights avni slowly opened her eyes and then closed it seen riya  and juhi sleeping next to her.

Aladdin  and Neil were tired  they turned to head inside when they saw neela walk toward them

Neela:, Neil avni fell asleep in riya room so just came to inform u that dont wait for her..and if u need anything let me know ok

Aladdin:chal go and sleep

Neil:night Aladdin ...goodnight gf he said giving a side hug to neela

Neela:goodnight bachien

He soon entered avni room to see an empty bed.. as he closed the door he sat on the bed resting his back against the headboard and closed his eyes.. but the confrontation between him avni played in his head

Neil opened his eyes and picked up a photoframe kept beside which was of the him and avni with the gang

Neil:we became friends after a long time but suddenly things changed again..atleast give me a change chatterbox and talk to me...your silence hurts me 

He closed his eyes holding the frame and fell asleep 

Next morning neil woke up hearing a bangle sound. As he opened his eyes slowly  he saw avni  looking for something in one of the drawers

Where as avni came to get her earing set and bagless  for Riya and found Neil asleep..she smiled seen now cutely he was sleeping but then realised she was angry at him and started to do the work she came for

Neil:avni ?

Avni:as avni found the Accessories she was about to close the drawer when she heard Neil call her

Neil:avni I want to say that.. but before he could finish she left without saying anything

Neil:for God sake y r u acting so stubborn avni

He soon went to get ready

In riya room  juhi had a shower and came out wearing her bridal dress leaving the duppata as the beautician will be doing that for her  as they would come any moment

Finally juhi and vidyut were going to get married in a short spam of time

All were busy doing the last min things be it decorations or making sure all items have arrived ...  

avneil got  busy with different preparation that they hardly got to see each other...Neil wanted a chance to speak to avni but his friends wedding was also important for him 

The mandap was set up in the garden area as it would be the best place to do the wedding  

The beauticians had arrived and were getting juhi ready while avni and riya decided to help out with other arrangements...they decided to get ready and them head downstairs

After a while. Avni was brining a plate of grandland to take to the mandap area and was  also telling some of the decorators to put the flowers and other decoration properly

Neil had.joined Ali when he arrived and both went to check the catering department ..after doing that  they were about to go to the garden area as vidyut arrived few mins ago and was there

Neil was about to walk away with Ali when he  saw avni in a saree all decked up carrying a thali and saying something to the workers.. he smiled and looked at his Sherwani as they had matching colour outfits

Neela :Bacha after go and check on juhi ok

Avni:haan maa I'll give this thali to pandit ji and come.. neela nodded and walked away while avni was walking to the garden

Ali:Neil lets go now y r u standing here he said seen Neil stopping and looking ahead... but instead of answering him Neil called out to avni

Neil:avni he said a little loudly 

Avni stopped and turned around first she frowned and then smiled while placing the thali on the side and walked towards Neil

She was walking in a fast pace with a smile while Neil was surprised and happy seen her walking towards him and also Ali was surprised seen that

Avni lifted her hands in the air slowly while Neil stretched his hands out smiling thinking she is finally no longer ignoring him

As avni reached closer to Neil.. his excitement was getting high with arms still stretched out.. but soon he frowned  or more likely shocked seen avni go past him

Neil:what the  . He thought and turned around along with avni and saw her hugging someone

Avni:I'm so happy to see u.. she said hugging the person while Neil narrowed his eyebrows not liking the scene
