In the morning Avni came down with her small suit case and bag...Shweta was serving food to Prakash and Bebe while Bebe was in deep thoughts thinking about last night

Shweta: Avni beta what is this she said seen the small suit case with Avni

Bebe came out of her thoughts and looked to see Avni down with her bag

Neil who was coming down the stairs heard Shweta speak and then saw Avni walking towards the dining table and his eyes fell on the suit case next to her

Avni: I'm going back home

Prakash: y beta r u not liking it over here

Bebe looked at avni and then saw Neil near the stairs

Avni: no it's not that it's just that I actually spent many days here so thought it's time to go back

Shweta: but Avni ...u could stay here for longer we have no problem

Bebe: let her go Shweta she said getting up and stood near Avni...if she wants to go then she can...this is her house too and she can come here anytime and stay as long as she wants she said the last bit looking at Neil while she could clearly see Neil frowning at her words

Shweta: beta at least have breakfast

Avni smiled and tried to talk normally so that the khanna family doesn't worry seen her quiet...she saw Neil coming down and sitting opposite towards her.

Shweta: tillu u tell Avni to stay back

Neil: if she wants to go back let her go y r u all forcing her...Shweta shook her head at Neil answer while Avni looked at him and then looked away.

Soon Aladdin came and took Avni with him while she said bye to all except Neil 

Neil was thoughtful as to how Avni left suddenly but he kept reminding himself how he was angry on her and tried to ignore the thought.

Few hours later Avni reached to the metha mansion and went to her room...giving some type of excuse.

The only people who found Avni behaviour odd was Neela and Riya as Aladdin got to know in the  car of Avni reason to end her mission pacify Neil

Riya went to Avni room

Riya: babes what happened to u? ...how comes u came back?  Wait wait wait did Neil forgive u ? She said hoping the last 1 was true

Avni looked at Riya

Avni: no he didn't I give up on him. She  said annoyingly while her eyes started  to fill up again

Riya: what! But y?

Avni: kadhoos khanna thinks I'm selfish he..he...she said not able to continue

Riya: avni ...babes tell me clearly what happened last night

Avni told Riya about whatever happened after all left.

Riya: Neil bhi na

Avni: forget him...I can't run after him for my whole life. If he doesn't want to be friends and talk let's keep it that way. She said quickly wiping the tears and went to the washroom

Riya looked on she was thinking and then went to her room to call the gang on a conference call

Vidyut: what ? R u for serious ? He said hearing what Riya said

Juhi: now what shall we do as even Avni gave up ...she was so determined to make Neil forgive her and now she gave up because Neil words hurt her so badly

Ali. Guys do one thing ...later on meet me at my cafe we will discuss about it over here ...riya don't tell Avni about it

Riya: ok

Vidyut: I will see u guys in few hours...all of them cut the call

Meanwhile at the khanna mansion

Bebe was sitting in her room thinking about Avni and Neil... both the families knew that Avni didn't contact the gang except Riya and her family when she had left for London but they never asked the reason thinking Avni will become friends with everyone again especially Neil...but now she knew that there was something else which is hidden as Avni would have never cried to go back home last night and Neil would have stopped her but he didn't....she got her phone and dialled a number 

Bebe: dayawanti can we meet in two hours time

Dayawanti: yh sure where do u want to meet

Bebe: Ali cafe

Dayawanti: ok see u at Ali cafe soon

In Neela and Aladdin room

Neela: Kabir why does Avni look upset

Aladdin: She is only upset because Neil still isn't talking to her. He said

Neela: she loves him right?

Aladdin  was surprised as Neela didn't know about Avni love for Neil

Neela: I have known her since she was born...even though I didn't give birth to her I still treated her like my daughter even though she is my niece and I can tell when she is lying and when she is telling the truth.

Aladdin: when did u find out and why didn't u say it before ?

Neela: Avni had written a letter for her Friends before she left for London remember... after her friends left they forgot the letter in her room...when I went to close her room door I found the letter on the bed and read it where I saw she wrote something for each friend and she had written about her feelings for Neil...but I never asked her about it because at that time she lost her Parents and also at the same time she was trying to forget her feelings for Neil.

Aladdin: she tried to do many things so Neil anger melts but I guess he went far with his words yesterday.

Neela: I just hope my bacha get her happiness and so does Neil...Aladdin nodded while thinking

Neil was trying to solve a case but his mind kept going back to what happened last night

Neil in his head: u didn't say anything wrong Neil u have full rights to be angry on her...if she wanted to leave then that's her decision...he said trying to ignore the hurt look of Avni that kept flashing in his head.

Neil: Dd he shouted

Dd: yes sir Jee he said running in

Neil: what happened to the farm house case...and where is Vidyut

Dd: we r waiting for the reports for that case while Vidyut sir has left as he finished one of his cases..he also said  sorry that he had to leave without telling u

Neil: ok once the reports come do let me know

Few hours later Bebe reached to Ali cafe but he wasn't there as he had to go for some delivery.

Bebe: where is Ali? She asked one of the waiter while sitting down

Waiter: madam he has gone out for some delivery he will be back soon

Bebe: ok

Waiter: anything I can get for u

Bebe : a coffee please

Dayawanti: make it two coffee she said

Bebe and the waiter turned to see dayawanti

Bebe : she is with me.

The waiter nodded and left while dayawanti sat down

Dayawanti: what happened y r u all serious

Bebe told dayawanti about how Avni was crying last night and all

Dayawanti: Harleen they r friends since childhood .. don't u remember when they were young how they use to argue and stop speaking to each other but once their anger goes they pacify each other...the same thing will happen now

Bebe: the matter seems something different daya....Avni stopped contacting everyone when she went london but when she came back all her friends were talking to her except Neil and I'm sure the matter is something different...Avni came to stay at our house but Neil didn't even bother speaking to her .

Dayawanti: there is a way to find out

Bebe: what

Dayawanti : we should ask the kids maybe they will tell us

Bebe: we could of asked Ali but even he isn't here

Meanwhile outside the cafe

Ali had got of his bike and was about
To go into the cafe when he saw Vidyut Riya and Juhi walking towards him ...while they didn't see dayawanti and Bebe car

Ali: hey guys lets go in and talk

Vidyut: did u go anywhere

Ali: haan yaar I had a go for a delivery

Riya: guys I tried to talk to Avni and she was like she has given up...If Neil doesn't wants to talk to her the his wish as she can't be asked anymore

They all stopped in their track seen Bebe and dayawanti

Bebe causally looked to the side to  see the gang

Bebe: daya she said gesturing to look to the side ...dayawanti looked to see what Bebe was talking about

5 mins later

The gang were sitting on the table with Bebe and dayawanti

All were silent as Bebe and dayawanti asked them about Avni and Neil...

Dayawanti and Bebe looked at each other and then Bebe spoke again

Bebe: please tell me what is actually happening between Tillu and Avni.

Ali: nothing Bebe Neil was just upset that Avni left without saying anything and didn't contact anyone after that

Riya : and we even told u this before right

Dayawanti: but there seems more to it

Aladdin: there is

Bebe: and what is that

Aladdin: Avni loves Neil

Vidyut Juhi Ali and Riya looked shockingly at Aladdin since he told Bebe and dayawanti while Bebe and dayawanti looked at each other

Dayawanti: Kabir how did u know we were here

Aladdin: I heard u tell Harleen aunty

Bebe: Avni loves Neil

Aladdin: haan that was one of her main reason to leave Delhi college and come back here and another reason to leave for London along with Ashish bhai and Ayesha bhabi death.

Bebe: did Neil know about it

Aladdin: at first he didn't he got to know after as Mithali told Neil the real reason of leaving college ... but the kids will be able to give u more details as they are with avneil the most during college days

Dayawanti: will u all say something

Juhi: Avni started to realise  her feelings for Neil after Mithali and Neil started dating...at first she was confused but then slowly she started to know that she loves Neil

Riya: she had got jealous of Mithali but then she realised it's wrong ...for her Neil happiness mattered the most and she didn't want to be a hurdle for them so she decided to change college..only me and Juhi knew m from the beginning

Vidyut: we all tried to make Avni understand not to change college but she didn't listen and  went...then we got the shocking news that Avni parents passed away and the rest u know.

Ali: Avni never contacted us after except Riya...maybe because she wanted to forget Neil and if she stayed in contact with us then Neil would be mentioned

Riya: but she stayed in contact with me with  that I would tell the gang how Avni is except Neil .

Bebe : oh god all this happened and we never knew.

Dayawanti: even if we knew that time we may not have done anything except stop Avni.

Bebe: what if we give Avni her love

Dayawanti: matlab? Harleen Neil still loves Mithali he hasn't moved on from her and also we can't force him to love Avni too

Bebe: he has to move on some day and my heart tells me only Avni can make Neil because my old Tillu

Aladdin: Avni has given up she is not  ready to pacify Neil anymore

Dayawanti: what if we ....she said getting an idea

Bebe: Kya ?

Dayawanti: what if we emotionally blackmail them .

Bebe: then they would agree ...finally u also want them together. I have always loved Avni and having her as my granddaughter in law will be the best

Vidyut: I got a perfect way to emotionally blackmail them

Bebe: what is that

Vidyut: Avni and Neil love u both so one of u decide that u have a Heart attack ...we will get the family doctor on our side and tell her to tell Avni and Neil that we have to agree to whatever the patient says  otherwise their health can worsen

Aladdin: amazing

Riya: who will pretend to have a heart attack

Bebe: dayawanti

Dayawanti: Harleen

Bebe: no u r good at acting

Dayawanti: no u r

Bebe: no u r

Dayawanti: come on Harleen u

Aladdin : let's do a Toss whoever loses will have to pretend  ...Bebe lost
The toss so she had to agree to pretend

Aladdin: another thing Neela also knows about Avni's feeling for Neil as she had seen the letter that Avni wrote for the gang.

Dayawanti: we will tell Neela about our plan once Avni and Neil get married for now this only stays between all of us

Bebe: I hope u kids r with us

Vidyut: we want the best for our friends and even we believe that Avni can make Neil become like before.

Juhi: also Avni has sacrificed a lot for Neil and now she deserves some love too. She still loves Neil but would never force her feelings on him

Ali: let's get these two together then.
They have known each their since childhood so there  would be understanding

Riya: there would be but also they r to stubborn right now and don't want to talk to each other

Bebe: so when shall we start the drama

Aladdin: well luckily our family doctor is the same so I'll just call her up and explain the situation and hopefully she helps us

Dayawanti: ok

Aladdin made the call to the family doctor and tried to explain her the situation as y this drama has to be done and since she knows the metha and khanna family well she was ready to help

Bebe: what happened if she didn't agree tell me I'll try to talk to her she said once Aladdin cut the call

Aladdin: lets go to the hospital to start the drama he said smiling.

Dayawanti: wait I'll stay here alone u all go back home after few hours me and Ali will call to inform about harleen   So at that time make sure Neil is there and also Avni

Aladdin: don't worry we will make sure they r there...let's leave now. And u three will make it as u were somewhere else not here he said to Vidyut Juhi and Riya

Vidyut: dw about that

Few hours later dayawanti and Ali were at the hospital with Bebe

Family doctor: god I'm so nervous ...

Dayawanti: don't worry just act normal think of something serious it will help u

Bebe: haan take her advice she is a expert in acting

Dayawanti: chup

Ali: shall we call them now

Dayawanti: i will call at home and u call Neil and the khanna family as he probably might be at the police station

Bebe: and do panic when both of u r speaking so everyone can feel the panic in your voice

Dayawanti: don't worry we know That...Bebe rolled her eyes

Ali and dayawanti called both the families and told about Bebe having a heat attack at first they were asking too many questions but they told them that they should get to the hospital and will tell them after....Ali then made a call to Neil who was shocked and left immediately.

Avni also left with the metha family as she got to know about the news

Ali came back inside to see dayawanti cutting the call and both looked at Bebe who was sitting on bed enjoying her Samosa.

Neil reached their first...Ali and dayawanti stood outside pretending to be all sad and serious

Ali: Neil he said placing his hands on his shoulder

Neil: how did this happen to Bebe.

Dayawanti : beta me and Harleen decided to meet at Ali cafe we were casually talking and she said she wanted to talk about something when she complained of having a pain in her chest which increased so we quickly rushed her to the hospital and luckily we reached on time as The doctor told us she had a heart attack .

Neil : god...where is the doctor right now

Dayawanti: she is checking her time to time.

Ali: Neil don't worry Bebe will be fine  as soon as he finished saying that Khanna family and metha family arrived and they also started asking questions while Ali and dayawanti told them the same thing

Avni saw Neil who was sitting down thinking about Bebe...she was about to move to him when she recalled his words and stopped herself

Shweta: god I shouldn't have let Bebe go out alone like this.

Avni: aunty don't worry Bebe is strong she will recover soon we just have to pray she is out of danger

Neela: Haan Shweta be strong

Soon Riya Juhi and Vidyut came.

The doctor came out and everyone gathered around her ...she got nervous but then composed herself

Prakash: doctor how is Bebe

Doctor: I'm sure u all got to know that she had a heart attack and this was not one of those small one...if she wasn't bought on time then god knows but right now she is fine

Nanno: thank god...while the rest also relaxed hearing that

Doctor: but

Neil: but what

Doctor: since she had a heart attack i would recommend don't let her stress about anything...listen to her and agree to things she says otherwise it can effect her health and it won't take long for her to have another heart attack.

Shweta: no no dw will take care of her and also make sure to listen to her.

Prakash: can we see her

Doctor: yes but don't question her too much .. all nodded and left to go in the room which was luckily big enough

Prakash and Shweta sat on either side of the bed

Prakash: Bebe he said softly while holding her hand

Bebe opened her eyes slowly and looked around to see everyone

Prakash : Bebe. How r u

Bebe: I'm ok sunny puttar

Dayawanti: Harleen what did u want to talk about u seemed to be nervous. She said so Bebe can talk about avneil wedding

Bebe : I will tell u but first Avni puttar Neil puttar come here she said forwarding her both hands

Prakash and Shweta moved away while avneil sat in their place

Bebe held their hands

Bebe: I love u both so much u know that right

Avneil nodded

Bebe: will u agree to what I say

Neil: I have never said no to u Bebe right

Avni: what do u want to tell us she said

Bebe: I want to see u Both married...I always wished to have Avni as my daughter in law...u both r friends since childhood and would understand each other well.

Avni and Neil were shocked

Neil: Bebe this can't happen please

Bebe: y? Don't u love your Bebe ? Do u think I will make a wrong decision for u

Neil: that's not the case i can't marry her

Avni : I'm sorry too but i can't marry him too

Dayawanti gestured Vidyut who understood and went to get the doctor without anyone knowing.

Bebe made some painful expression while the doctor came and pressed the machine button with her remote to show the heart beat has increased ( a fake heartbeat machine)

Doctor: what happened to her I told u all not to give any stress and don't ask her too many question

Bebe: please she said To avneil holding their hands

Doctor: please can u all go out
For now

All left while the doctor stayed back

Bebe: well done now u have to go out and tell them that something is bothering Bebe which made her heart beat increase and its best u agree to  whatever she wants

Doctor came out and told everyone outside the same thing. And left

Shweta: Neil u have to get married some day and U also know Avni well...Neil looked at Shweta

Aladdin: exactly Neil and also Bebe condition is serious and her health matter to all of us .

Avni: but that doesn't mean we get married to each other

Neela: bacha just marry each other . Love can always happen after right she said looking at Neil.

Dayawanti: Harleen health is up to u both now ...if u both care about her then agree

The family kept telling them

Neil: FINE he shouted

Avni looked at Neil shockingly

Neil:. I agree but I'm only doing this for Bebe . He said to Avni indirectly while looking at her

Nanno: Avni u also agree please even harleen is like your dadi too right

Prakash: please beta I fold my hands in front of u he said about to
Fold his hands but Avni stopped him

Avni: uncle please don't fold ypir hands  ... for Bebe I'll agree too...I'm not selfish that I will put her health on stake she said stretching on the word selfish ...while Neil understood she was saying that to him

Dayawanti: I'll go and see harleen and if she is awake I'll tell her

Dayawanti went in and told her the news

Bebe : finally I was thinking our plan will backfire

Dayawanti: thank god it didn't but let's end the wedding in a simple way with just close family and friends. After all you will have to pretend for a while that u haven't recovered fully .

Bebe: ok now go and tell everyone

Dayawanti came out and told everyone that She told Bebe wants avneil to get married just with friends and family around

(I won't go in much details lovelies )

The next few days was going to be Hectic everyone was happy getting the decoration done except avneil .

Bebe was still in the hospital and was coming back home on the day of the Mehindi and Sangeet

While the engagement was done in a simple way with family and friends ...avneil didn't even look at each other.

The next day Mehindi and Sangeet were held on the same day...Mehindi was held in the afternoon and Sangeet was held in the evening with the gang and family performing on few songs
Bebe also was there as she got discharged and was smiling

Avneil were made to dance...they looked at each other few times and then looked away as if they don't care

Now came the big day haldi was kept in the morning while wedding was at night

Shweta: tillu come down soon it's your haldi right now Neil was about to get annoyed but as soon as he turned around he saw Bebe with Shweta too ..he faked a smile not to effect Bebe health

Neil came down and saw few ladies along with his friends standing there for the haldi. And then soon the haldi bowl was sent to Avni place once Neil haldi was done and the gang also applied haldi on her.

Later in the evening Avni was getting ready only close family and friends were invited.

Neela: maa what happened who u trying to call

Dayawanti: Arlen Neela I have been trying to call diksha to inform her about Avni and Neil wedding but her phone is unreachable since many days.

Neela: dw maybe she might have been busy or may have gone out for some work try calling her again after some some time

Dayawanti: hmm come we will inform her later...is Avni ready now

Neela: Haan Juhi and Riya r getting her ready.

In Avni room Riya and Juhi helped Avni get ready...they didn't go overboard with the make up and all as Avni prefers things in a simple way.

Juhi: Avni r U happy

Avni: happy about what...I'm just doing this for Bebe nothing else

Riya: Look we know u r hurt with Neil words but even u know he never meant half of the things

Avni: that doesn't allow him to say whatever he wants and he should have said sorry but he didn't....anyways let it be I don't want to talk about it

Riya and Juhi looked at avni

Soon the khanna family came they did Neil aarti and allowed him.

Bebe pretended to cough.

Prakash: Bebe sit here

Soon Avni was bought down

Shweta: Avni looks so beautiful she said...all looked towards the stairs except Neil ... Avni didn't look up and continued to look down right now she was having all different type of feeling  but Neil words had hurt her really badly.

Soon the Pandit started the mantra and Avni and Neil had to get up for the seven rounds ....once that was completed they were made to sit down and Neil was giving sindhoor to fill up Avni forehead and that's when Neil eyes fell on Avni after that he made her wear mangalsutra  where Neil moved a bit forward and for a sec both looked at each other...they soon looked away

Now they were husband and wife and were told to take everyone blessing.

Bebe: finally they r married now she said to dayawanti who also nodded. Nanno came there and Bebe and dayawanti filled her up with everything while she was shocked but happy at the same time
